Luo Linhao chuckled upon hearing this, "I had a spat with that old witch this morning. Seeing how angry she was, I left. I figured if I stayed at home, sheād be too upset to eat, and if she got too emotional and angered herself to death, wouldnāt that cause trouble for my cousin? So I came to your house."
"What about your uncle? Didnāt he stop you?"
"My dad? He went out again after taking me back to the mansion last night. When I left, he hadnāt returned yet." Luo Linhao shook his head, thinking he probably went to handle that matter.
"Didnāt you go with him to help out?"
"My dad knows the Capital City best. I wouldnāt be of any help going out. Besides, the more people there are, the bigger the target; itās not good for action." After saying this, Luo Linhao turned his head and started teasing the child again.
"I think youāre just finding excuses for your laziness." Ye Ziāan gave him a sideways glance and asked, "Why did you argue with her?"
"Hmph, when people get old, they tend to meddle; she said she would find me a wife, some relative from Princess Consort Leās family, either a younger sister-in-law or niece." Luo Linhao sneered with disdain, "Do you think sheās lost her mind? Who are we, and who is Prince Le? Sheās actually helping me find a relative from Prince Leās family. Isnāt she just stomping on my cousinās face? No wonder my cousin doesnāt favor her."
"And then you just ran off?"
"Of course not. I gave her a piece of my mind, then told her if she wanted to live a few more years, she should stop meddling. Otherwise, I wouldnāt mind adding a few more people to her sonās or grandsonās harem. And I told her if she was too lonely, I wouldnāt mind finding her an old companion."
"..." Ye Ziāan was actually speechless at his words. It was too harsh and shameless. The old lady was quite aged; if her psyche were a bit weaker, she might really get infuriated to death.
"Watch your mouth next time. If you really anger her to death, see how your uncle deals with you."
"Heh, my dad doesnāt have time to mind me."
In truth, Old Mu really didnāt have time to deal with him. Ever since he left Prince Anās Mansion, he had been preparing to get Prince Ning out. So when Ye Ziāan saw Old Mu again, it was already five days later.
After Old Mu left that day, he first found someone who resembled Prince Ning and together with this person, knocked out the original guards. He disguised himself as the other person and when it was time to serve the meal at night, swapped him with Prince Ning.
When asked on the way, he said the person suddenly felt unwell and fainted.
He brought the person out of the House of the Imperial Clan cautiously, without daring to stay long, and fled with the person on his back.
However, the guards at the House of the Imperial Clan were all people of Prince Le, each instructed to report any suspicious activity. Almost immediately, they would check to confirm if the person in the cell was still there. This check uncovered the problem.
Prince Ning was missing!
And the fake in the cell took advantage of the chaos to leave too!
When Prince Le heard this, he was furious. He immediately ordered his men to search everywhere, while he sent someone to report to the Emperor. The Emperor, thinking Prince Ning had been feigning madness all along just for this escape, got so angry that he even deployed the Imperial Army.
Ye Ziāan and Yang Chuxia were sound asleep when they heard the tiles on the roof creaking.
Such noises naturally woke the people inside the room. In an instant, Yang Chuxia had her clothes on, and when she just opened the door, there was Old Mu in the middle of the courtyard carrying a large sack.
"I actually didnāt run to the wrong place?" Old Mu was delighted, and without caring about anything else, he carried the sack into the house while saying, "Close the door quickly!"
