Chapter 1966 - 1968: The Plan is Set

As Yang Dongxue does not have other relatives in the Capital City, she could only come to Prince An’s Mansion on this day.

However, what she didn’t expect was that Prince Le also came.

Even more unexpected was that Prince Le brought along Qian Xiaoqing, who had been lingering around Prince An’s Mansion for the past two days, which made Yang Chuxia feel very annoyed.

And when Qian Xiaoqing came in and saw Yang Chuxia, she was very smug.

Yang Chuxia felt very displeased, thinking who dares to be smug in front of her in Prince An’s Mansion, courting death.

And when she saw Ms. Qian of Wang Family, Qian Xiaoqing cried bitterly while holding her, even complaining about Yang Chuxia to Ms.Qian of Wang Family, making Ms.Qian of Wang Family feel like she wanted to tear Yang Chuxia apart.

Yang Chuxia sneered, "You eat my food and drink my drinks, don’t look at me like that. To be honest, the only reason I’m welcoming you is for my second uncle’s sake. As for your niece, you’d better get lost as soon as possible. Don’t think I’ve forgotten those vile things you did back then."

Ms.Qian of Wang Family was momentarily speechless because this is the Capital City, not Funan.

Thinking that Yang Dongxue had just returned, Yang Chuxia had many things to ask her, so she didn’t pay much attention to the aunt and niece duo.

Prince Le also had things he wanted to discuss with Ye Zi’an, so they went to the study together.

Yang Dongxue and Prince Le did not stay long at Prince An’s Mansion and left after lunch. As soon as they left, Yang Chuxia had someone send a message to the Mu Residence.

At night, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an arrived at the main courtyard of Prince An’s Mansion.

Uncovering a board, it revealed a round hole and a ladder could be seen by peering down.

"You go first, follow the path all the way, and at the end, it leads to East Main Street Alley, where Qingrui and the others used to live. I’ve already asked Qingrui to go there this afternoon and wait."

"Aren’t you coming with me?"

"No, I’ll stay here and keep watch."

Ye Zi’an nodded and went down.

Yang Chuxia stayed indoors with a hot-water bottle waiting, but Ye Zi’an took quite a while, and she eventually fell asleep while waiting.

"Madam!"

Until Ming Lan’s call startled her awake.

"What’s wrong?"

"Madam, that Qian Xiaoqing sneaked into Miss Jindi’s room," Ming Lan whispered, "and took her out of the courtyard towards the back door, but was caught by Second Young Master Ye Er."

"What did you say?" Yang Chuxia’s sleepiness vanished immediately. "What is she trying to do?"

"Madam, I estimate she was trying to take her out of the mansion."

"Humph, I said she was courting death, causing trouble on the first day." Yang Chuxia sneered, "Tie her up and lock her in the woodshed, and first thing in the morning send her to the authorities."

"Yes!"

Ming Lan curtsied and left, and Yang Chuxia didn’t concern herself further with Qian Xiaoqing’s matters, waiting calmly.

Ye Zi’an returned to the mansion just as dawn was breaking, and upon seeing Yang Chuxia, he hurriedly said, "Send the children away before the tenth."

Yang Chuxia’s heart skipped a beat, knowing they’d settled their plans.

"Is there any certainty?"

"It depends on the goal, whether to make him face difficulty or prevent him from controlling the court has some certainty," Ye Zi’an paused and added, "But no matter what, we cannot have him threaten us like this again."

"Okay, I understand."

After thinking for a moment, Yang Chuxia added, "Just sleep here; going back to the Bamboo Courtyard at this time would arouse suspicion."

"Hmm, that’s fine."

After sleeping another round with Ye Zi’an, and seeing he hadn’t awakened yet, Yang Chuxia got up and went out.

But as soon as she stepped out of the inner chamber, she heard the noisy sounds outside.
