The two children spoke without lowering their voices at all, and Yang Chuxia and the Lord Commander of the Imperial Army heard their conversation clearly.
The Lord Commander was embarrassed and also recalled the last time Prince Le came in person, found nothing, and ended up losing a thousand taels of silver.
How does this sound like these two kids did it on purpose, deliberately tricking Prince Le?
From what was said just now, they are planning to trick him again? Oh my! He doesnât have as much money as Prince Le does. Even if it wasnât obvious before, now the Emperor sends all sorts of rewards every day, adding up to more wealth than he has.
The Lord Commander couldnât help but wipe the sweat off his forehead when he thought of this.
Yang Chuxiaâs mouth twitched. These two mischievous kids speak so loudly. They are truly clueless. Even if thereâs a plan, they should keep it quiet.
"What are you two chattering about out here? Come inside already!"
"Wow... Mother heard us talking?" Yangyang shouted from outside the door, and upon realizing, rushed inside, "Mother, since youâve already heard, can you cover the money for my flexible sword?"
"Weâll discuss this later." Yang Chuxia rubbed his little head and added, "Youâre still young. Itâs better to use it when youâre older."
"But I want it now, Mother." Yangyang pulled her arm, desperately whining and shaking.
The Lord Commander, seeing Yang Chuxia focused only on the two children and not paying him any mind, decided not to enter the house, and instead waved to let people go straight inside.
He thought no wonder Prince Le instructed him to conduct a thorough search of the Ye Family. The Ye Family always obstructed, and even he thought there might be an issue.
But just as his men reached the door, Ye Ziâan opened it from inside, looking surprised to see them.
"Why are you at my house again?"
"Lord Ye, we have orders to search for the culprit who kidnapped the Heir of Prince Leâs savior. We hope Lord Ye wonât obstruct us, or we wonât be able to explain to the Emperor."
"Oh, in that case, you may go in."
Ye Ziâan didnât say anything else and immediately stepped aside to let them in.
He then complained to Yang Chuxia, "Wife, you shouldâve woken me up when they were executing official duties."
"Hehe, I didnât want to disturb you since you were sleeping soundly."
As Ye Ziâan and Yang Chuxia spoke, Lele gave Yangyang a look. Seeing it, Yangyang nodded and went inside.
As soon as he entered, the Lord Commanderâs hair stood on end.
"Everyone, hurry up." The Lord Commander thought, better search quickly and leave; who knows what this kid plans to do next, his purse canât afford to lose any silver.
"Lord Commander, thereâs nothing here."
"Nothing in the other rooms either."
"Nothing unusual found."
Quickly finished searching, the people who searched other courtyards also came over.
The Lord Commander waved his hand, "If thereâs nothing, pack up and move to the next house."
"Yes."
Watching the group leave the room, Yangyang put his hands on his hips, muttering loudly enough, "Hey, everyone moved pretty fast, I didnât even get a chance to make a move."
Hearing this, the Lord Commander quickened his pace, thinking indeed, this little brat had bad intentions.
"Tsk tsk, look how scared he is, his steps are all disordered. Such little courage, and yet he dared to come to our mansion to search."
After the people had left, Yangyang said a couple more words.
"Itâs not that heâs timid, just that he feels sorry for the silver in his purse, alright." Lele added.
