Chapter 1364 Why?

ould be a tremendous loss for the Tianba nation.When the soldiers spoke these words, the commoners immediately became very serious. They also felt that it was wrong to slander such a meritorious princ...Qing Ya was taken aback by the question, her face paling when she realized what was being asked.

She nodded slightly. "Miss, if my memory serves me right, the main entrance to the Ye Residence is just past this road."

"...."

Xiao Qin instantly became flustered, it really was as she had thought.

Today, she had just met Ye Er when her mother went to the Ye Residence right after.

Remembering the last time her mother had Xiaomei pass a message to Yè'er, Xiaoqin felt a chill run down her spine.

So she still needs to warn Ye Erli to stay away from Xiaoqin, just like last time

And this time it wasn't someone passing a message, her mother personally stepped in.

Xiaoqin, thinking this, immediately rushed out to stop her mother.

All along, she saw Ye Er only as someone who was purely professional and never had any other thoughts.

But she didn't know why, her mother always seemed to misunderstand her no matter how she tried to explain.

She is now going directly to the Ye residence. She and Ye Er have nothing to do with each other. With her doing this, let alone how it will affect her reputation, what if she pushes the Anle Hou Mansion into a precarious situation

You have to know that Ye Er is now a favorite of the emperor. Everything he does is watched by those with ulterior motives. What if they found out that people from the Anle Marquis's Mansion were causing trouble at the Ye Mansion and reported it to the emperor

The emperor now relies so heavily on Ye Er. If he truly were to punish the Anle Houfu for Ye Er's sake, wouldn't that cause a huge scandal

Xiaoqin didn't care at all about how her reputation might be further damaged after her mother's outburst. All she cared about was whether her parents could get out of this situation unharmed.

But unbeknownst to her, her parents went to the Ye residence not to warn Ye Er to stay away from her, but to push her towards Ye Er.

......

Ye Er only just received news about Xiao Qin, learning that she had left An Le Hou's residence and was currently at the teahouse where they had last met.

"Did she cry when she left"

Ye Er's words were asked with extreme suppression, his gloomy eyes fixed on the subordinates in the distance.

The subordinate's heart tightened upon hearing the request. He pondered for a long moment before replying, "My lord, the princess appears to be fine. There are no signs of tears on her face."

Actually, he really wanted to say that he was just in the shadows at the time and a little distance away from the princess. He couldn't see clearly enough to tell if she was actually crying or not.

But from afar, he saw the county princess seemed to be laughing and talking with her maidservant, so... she probably wasn't crying

After answering, he hung his head low, feeling very uneasy.

If their parents asked him just one more question, he wouldn't be able to answer it.

Fortunately, after he answered, the adults didn't continue to ask about whether or not he had cried.

Ye Er fell silent for a moment before asking again, "After she and the maidservant left, did the Marquis's manor send anyone out to look for her"

"Reporting to your Lordship, my subordinate had people waiting at the gates of the Marquis' Manor for a long time. Until my subordinate returned, the Marquis' Manor did not send anyone to look for the Lady."

Ye Er's eyes were dark, her hands clenched tightly. Without much thought, she knew the person who made Xiao Qin leave home could only be Madam Hou besides anyone else.

This Madam Hou had people come to warn her last time, and it seems that this time, knowing Xiaoqin came to see him again, she must have argued with Xiaoqin.

...also drove Xiaoqin to run away from home. ...

He could understand Hou Fu's anger, but after his daughter was driven away, he didn't send anyone to look for her. There are so many people in the capital, and he truly wasn't worried that Xiao Qin would get into trouble

Because he's an outsider, she treats Xiaqin like this. If a highly profitable situation arises in the future, will she sacrifice Xiaqin

It's not that he wanted to maliciously speculate about Mrs. Hou's thoughts, but his people discovered some irregularities when investigating the families she had found for Xiaoqin.

Especially those who trade with merchants, their businesses often involve several remote counties.

As it turned out, those county towns were where Xiaoqin's two brothers worked.

He couldn't help but suspect that Mrs. Hou had other motives when she introduced these families to Xiao Qin.

No matter what Lady Hou's intentions were, if she really wanted to use Xiao Qin to achieve her own goals and sacrifice Xiao Qin's happiness, he would definitely be the first to disagree.

After a moment's contemplation, Ye Er stood up. He wanted to go to that teahouse and see her.

But before he could take two steps, the steward of the Ye Mansion hurried in, bowed, and said, "Sir, we have distinguished guests.

Welcome, esteemed guest

Ye Er frowned, "Who"

"It is Lord Anle and Lady Anle."

"..."

Ye Er stopped in her tracks and looked at the steward, "Who are you talking about"

"It's Lord Anle and Lady Anle, they say they have something they want to discuss with you."

Why would these two people be here

Still at this juncture

The first thing that popped into his mind was Xiao Qin, he thought this time Anle Hou and his wife would personally come to the door, warn him in person, and tell him to stay away from Xiao Qin.

On second thought, he realized this was wrong. If they wanted to warn him away from Xiaoqin, they wouldn't make such a big show of it. They certainly wouldn't come through the front door.

Ye Er hesitated for a moment, then turned to instruct one of his men, "Go and watch the County Princess. If anything unusual happens, return immediately to report."

The subordinate immediately bowed and replied, "Yes, my lord, I understand."

After this person left, Ye Er actually wanted to personally greet the Marquis and his wife, An Le. But after taking just two steps, he didn't know what he thought of, his expression instantly turned cold, he changed his mind, and told the steward, "Invite them to the reception room."

“......”

The steward was taken aback. He actually wanted to say that the person waiting outside at this time was at least a marquis, and their master had an official position but no title. In fact, it should have been them who went to greet Marquis Anle personally at this time.

But seeing the cold indifference on their faces, he ultimately chose to say nothing. After replying with a curt sound, he hurried away to get someone.

Ye Er then instructed the guards beside him to fetch the medicine.

The guard was taken aback. "Master, it's not time for your medicine yet. At least half an hour more."

"Go now."

"..."

His orders left the guards with no choice but to obey and go check if the medicine in the small kitchen was ready.

Fortunately, the person in the small kitchen had already finished brewing the medicine and was now just keeping it warm in a teapot.

When the guard brought the medicine, Ye Er had already changed into a set of pale-colored clothes.

The guards were startled the instant they saw him, "My Lord, are you alright Your face looks very pale."

Ye Er lowered her head, satisfied with a look at her own clothes. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just changed my clothes. These clothes will make people look paler."

He deliberately rubbed a layer of white powder on his mouth, making him look like he was terminally ill and nearing death.

The guard couldn't understand his master's actions at all, "Master, you...why would you do this to yourself"on was so important to Mo Yunjing, she absolutely refused to let Mo Yunjing carry her up at this moment.Since the young monk said that climbing up himself would demonstrate his sincerity, she must cli...
