After the mind-reading and gossip-eating incident, officials in the imperial city were demoted one a

Chapter 109: Mouth Opening

"This hero is very powerful!" Xin Chuli wanted to meet him. "Sister Yaoyao, who is this hero?"

"Let's keep our achievements hidden and move on!"

Actually, he was protecting me in secret.

"That's a pity. I wonder if I'll ever have the chance to meet you, sir?"

Ye Li'an: It's good to have someone secretly protecting my little sister.

Ye Jingyang: Who sent this person?

"And then what? Do you think it's easy for you to get down the cliff?" It rained last night.

"Of course it wasn't easy. We encountered two large wild boars as soon as we went down."

Dongzhu brought in the medicine for Ye Li'an to drink, and then saw Ye Yaoyao holding a stick that she had somehow gotten into and was gesturing with.

"At the critical moment, another handsome man arrived."

"Who!"

Aside from Prince Jing, who else could be called a handsome man by Ye Yaoyao? Everyone was curious to know who else could compare to Prince Jing in appearance.

"Ninth Imperial Uncle!"

"Is it really Prince Jing?" Everyone was stunned. Why would Prince Jing go to save her?

“It’s him!” Ye Lian nodded.

"what's next?"

"Nothing much happened after that, and we found a cave to spend the night."

It's like I jinxed it by saying it would rain, and it really did rain.

I was hiding inside the cave, warming myself by the fire and eating roast chicken, while my older brother and the group of people looking for me were outside getting soaked in the rain. My brother even caught a cold and developed a fever; I'm so sorry.

Everyone: So last night's rain was caused by Yaoyao (Little Sister) again, who started it whenever she wanted.

Thinking of Ye Mian being struck by lightning, Ye Jingyang wondered if it was related to her, and quickly said:

"Little sister, Father was struck by lightning while standing outside the mansion gate last night. He's still in bed. We'll go see him later."

"Ah! Really?" Ye Yaoyao's mouth dropped open in shock, her eyes filled with excitement.

[The system jokingly said I was the Rain God, and if I were the Rain God, my scumbag father would be struck by lightning. And he actually got struck! Haha! System, my mouth is blessed.]

[Host, you are the Rain God, without a doubt.]

Everyone: So Ye Mian was struck by lightning because Yao Yao said it casually. The Rain God is not bad either.

Those who could hear Ye Yaoyao's thoughts exchanged glances, their faces showing surprise mixed with a hint of amusement.

Knowing the whole story, Liu Yunshu gave the instructions:

"Listen up, everyone. You must not reveal a single word about Yaoyao and Prince Jing spending the night outside."

"We all understand." For the sake of their reputations, everyone knew they shouldn't say it.

After leaving Chunnuan Pavilion, Xue Ruoxue went to Qingzhu Courtyard.

"What? The brother and sister are completely unharmed."

Ye Chengzhu couldn't believe it; out of so many people chasing him, Ye Jingyang was the one who suffered the most serious injuries.

Ye Yuanru said through gritted teeth:

“Father, you’re right. Ye Yaoyao isn’t human. She doesn’t even show any signs of being injured.”

Having worked for nothing, Ye Mian collapsed on the bed, feeling even more pain all over his body.

"If this doesn't work, we'll hire another assassin. I refuse to believe we can't kill them eventually."

Ye Chengzhu roared angrily, while Ye Mian waved his hand with difficulty.

"No, it has already alarmed Chang'an Prefecture. The Emperor will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Fortunately, we have done it discreetly and should not be caught red-handed. We cannot take any further action against them in the short term."

Xue Ruoxue chimed in, "My husband is right. Let's lay low for a while and make a long-term plan."

Although she was also very annoyed, she still managed to maintain a sliver of rationality.

Ye Chengzhu kicked the table leg hard: "They got off too easy!"

"Chengzu, you're too impatient; you'll ruin things sooner or later!"

Ye Chengzhu lowered his head and stopped talking. The hatred in his eyes did not diminish at all. He secretly vowed that he would crush Ye Li'an and his sister under his feet in the future.

“My husband, I think Liu Yunshu may have discovered our relationship. Perhaps she suspects that we are involved in this assassination attempt.”

Xue Ruoxue said with concern.

"I've had my doubts too." Ye Mian had never thought about these things; his mother and son were indeed somewhat different from before.

"What should we do then?" Ye Yuanru asked anxiously, as their goal had not yet been achieved.

"Let's hold back and observe for a while. They're fine this time, but there must be someone behind them. Let's investigate their background first," Ye Mian said after thinking for a moment.

"That's all."

Qin Jingyu returned to the Prince's Mansion, where Kuang Yun, who was in charge of managing the Jianghu forces, was already waiting for him.

"Miss Ye is special to our master, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Kuangyun looked at Lianjin with dissatisfaction.

"I don't know either. Our master is so concerned that he even ran to the bottom of the cliff to save people."

Lian Jin scratched his head innocently, looking completely naive. He hadn't expected his master to care so much.

"I think you're a bit dim-witted. You've been by His Highness's side the longest, but when has His Highness ever cared so much about an outsider?" The steward slapped Lian Jin on the back of the head, saying with exasperation.

"Now I understand, Miss Ye is the one our master cherishes."

"Not too stupid!"

Kuang Yun rolled his eyes at Lian Jin. Fortunately, Ye Yaoyao was alright, otherwise he might have been punished.

"So what do we do next? We should keep a close eye on Miss Ye's situation."

Lian Jin approached Kuang Yun and asked cautiously.

"What do you say?"

"Hehe! Of course, of course."

Qin Jingyu walked over, and the group immediately bowed respectfully.

"master."

"Who bought the kill order?" a cold voice asked.

"My lord, I have found three families. The Blood Slaughter Sect was ordered by the Eldest Princess to kill Miss Ye.

On the other side of the Bounty Hunter Guild are Ye Mian's mistress and the Tang family, with the Tang family wanting Ye Xiyao dead.

Ye Mian acted rather discreetly, passing the buck through several hands before his subordinates finally tracked him down.

"Find some work for the people in Jinyang."

"Yes, Master!"

Jinyang County is the princess's fiefdom; the master is avenging Ye Yaoyao.

"Destroy the Blood Slaughter Sect and the Bounty Hunter Guild." A ruthless glint flashed in Qin Jingyu's eyes.

"They're all wiped out?" Lian Jin was dumbfounded, his face full of disbelief.

“Yes!” Kuang Yun, unlike Lian Jin, was not naive and answered without hesitation.

"Deliver these to Yaoyao. Steward, arrange a carriage. I'm going out of the manor for a while."

"I'll make the arrangements right away." Butler Xie hurried off to get to work.

"Your subordinate will also go and make the arrangements." Kuang Yun withdrew.

Ye Yaoyao sat under the peach tree, writing down her future plans. To have her own power, she first needed money. Ye Yaoyao and Ye Xiyao discussed expanding their businesses.

"Miss Ye, a letter from the Prince's Mansion to you."

Granny Li gave her the information that the Prince Jing's mansion had found out.

"Thank you, Granny." Ye Yaoyao took the document and saw that it was from Prince Jing who had ordered an investigation into their assassination attempt.

Ye Yaoyao quickly scanned the letters, her face turning grim.

"Since the Tang family still exists, sister, look!"

"The Tang family hired someone to kill me."

Ye Xiyao looked complicated. Tang Xue's matter had nothing to do with her, but she didn't expect the Tang family to take their anger out on her.

Consort Yu put forward an unfavored concubine as a scapegoat, and the Empress ordered her to be confined to her quarters for six months as punishment.

Because of this perfunctory handling of the matter, Madam Tang blamed Ye Xiyao for the mistake.
