"You say I tied up Qian Xiaoqing, but do you know what despicable things Qian Xiaoqing has done? Have you asked her?"
Ms. Qian of Wang Family wanted to ask Qian Xiaoqing, but unfortunately, there was someone guarding the door, and she couldnât get in.
However, she was well aware of her nieceâs character. Thinking of how Yang Qingruiâs brothers were both at Prince Anâs Mansion now, and recalling those outrageous things her niece had done before, could it be that she still hadnât given up on Qingrui?
After some thought, she concluded it wasnât a big deal. Previously, the Yang Family disapproved of Yang Qingrui and Xiaoqingâs relationship mainly because Xiaoqing had been married before. Now that Qingrui was married, Xiaoqing wasnât seeking the position of legal wife. Being a concubine should still be feasible.
"Whatâs there to ask?" Ms. Qian of Wang Family said stubbornly, "When it comes to matters between a man and a woman, the woman always loses out. Xiaoqing already lost, and you tied her up. How could you be so heartless... boo hoo..."
As she spoke, she started crying, which was really annoying.
The veins on Yang Chuxiaâs forehead were about to pop out. Whatâs wrong with this person, talking about matters between men and women? What is she saying?
"Shut up." Yang Chuxia yelled, "Your dear niece sneaked into Jindiâs room in the middle of the night and carried Jindi out to the back gate. What was she planning? Fortunately, someone was guarding the back gate. If no one was, was she planning to carry the child outside?"
"For such a sneaky person, if I donât deal with her, should I keep her around for the show?"
Ms. Qian of Wang Family was startled. It wasnât because of Qingrui?
Wait, she said she carried that little girl Jindi? What was she carrying her for?
Ms. Qian couldnât understand, and neither could Yang Chuxia.
"Ming Lan, go bring Qian Xiaoqing over and ask her what she was planning." Ye Ziâan awoke.
"Yes, Young Master!"
"Why are you awake?" Yang Chuxia saw that one side of his collar was not done properly and quickly stepped forward to straighten it for him.
"Itâs too noisy to sleep," Ye Ziâan glanced at Ms. Qian of Wang Family sitting on the ground and then said to Mingqiu, "Go and see if the second granduncle ate, invite the second granduncle over, and bring the two granduncles as well. Whatever is happening, it should be addressed in front of the second granduncle, or else everyone will think we bullied the second grandaunt."
"Yes, Young Master, this maid will go at once."
Upon hearing that Wang Yongshan was to be called, Ms. Qian of Wang Family started to feel a bit scared because before coming to the Capital City, Wang Yongshan had repeatedly warned her not to cause trouble, or he would beat her. Now sheâd forgotten.
Soon Qian Xiaoqing was brought over, already tied up, with her mouth gagged, but her eyes wide open.
"Xiaoqing!" Seeing her like this, Ms. Qian of Wang Family was really heartbroken.
However, Yang Chuxia was irritated by this. Whenever Xiaoqing was involved, Ms. Qian of Wang Familyâs rationality seemed to go out the window. If Qian Xiaoqing and Ms. Qian of Wang Family didnât look so different, she would have thought Xiaoqing was her biological daughter.
"Xiaxia, dear Xiaxia, please quickly untie her." Ms. Qian of Wang Family was anxious. With her thin clothes and pale face, surely the wood shed was too cold, and she must have caught a chill.
Yang Chuxia, however, ignored her and continued instructing other maids to bring water for Ye Ziâan to freshen up.
Inside the room, Ye Ziâan quietly said to Yang Chuxia, "Once this matter is over today, weâll send them back to their hometown in a few days. Let them leave first, and Qingrui and Qingtong will follow them later. This incident is a good opportunity; otherwise, if we sent them back abruptly, it would raise suspicions."
"Mm, I got it. Iâll have them pack their things later," Yang Chuxia snorted coldly, "Such troublesome relatives are really annoying. I have to remind Mom not to let them come to the Capital City. Otherwise, life will be impossible."
