"And that Qian Xiaoqing, there must be a big problem with her. Weâll send her to the authorities later, otherwise, sheâs bound to cause trouble sooner or later."
At this moment, Yang Chuxia thought about the incident on New Yearâs Day and said, "Itâs strange though. I donât know how she got involved with the Madam of the Prime Minister, coming early in the morning to stir trouble. Just seeing her is irritating."
"You donât need to worry about the Madam of the Prime Minister." Ye Ziâan placed the towel back in the basin and said, "The Prime Minister is no good, like a weathervane that swings from side to side. Youâll see, once things stabilize, he should retire and return to his hometown."
With that, Yang Chuxia understood. Naturally, Baili Yan wouldnât keep such a person around.
"Hmph, that would be for the best. His wife is simply a blabbermouth. The incident only happened on New Yearâs Day, and Iâve heard it spread halfway across the Capital City. Now, there are rumors that our Prince Anâs Mansion disrespects its guests. If I werenât worried about causing trouble, I wouldâve confronted her already. What a nuisance, gossiping all day long."
"Heh, heh, be patient. You wonât have many chances to see her in the future."
Ye Ziâan chuckled. How could he not know his wifeâs temper?
Seeing her pouting, he couldnât help but peck her lightly.
"Ouch, what are you doing?" Yang Chuxia glared at him coquettishly.
Ye Ziâan noticed the tassel hairpin on her head swaying, her eyes were charming, which made his heart flutter. He wrapped an arm around her waist and just as he was about to lean in for a kiss, there was a knock on the door.
"Young Master, Madam, the uncles are here."
Yang Chuxia opened the door, and sure enough, Wang Yongshan and others were standing in the courtyard.
"Xiaxia, what trouble has your second aunt gotten into this time?" Seeing Qian Xiaoqing being tied up, Wang Yongshan immediately knew she had caused a problem. He didnât care about Qian Xiaoqing, but feared Ms.Qian of Wang Family would also get involved.
"Second Uncle, last night Qian Xiaoqing was carrying Jindi to leave the mansion when I caught her and tied her up. Now Second Aunt wants me to release Qian Xiaoqing."
This matter, of course, could not be hidden.
Wang Yongshan was visibly stunned, "What was she trying to do by taking Jindi out?"
"Madam, Miss Jindi hasnât woken up yet." Mingqiu said at an appropriate moment.
"Have you called for a doctor?"
"Second Young Master Ye Er said Miss Jindi had been drugged and would awaken after some more sleep."
"Go untie her mouth for me!" Yang Chuxiaâs eyes were dark, wishing she could immediately take Qian Xiaoqing out of the picture.
"Yang Chuxia, are you insane, why did you tie me up?" Qian Xiaoqing shouted immediately upon being freed.
But she seemed to have forgotten Yang Chuxiaâs methods, "Slap!"
As soon as she finished shouting, Yang Chuxia slapped her, "Look at where you stand, and you still dare curse at me? What do you think you are?"
"Xiaxia, letâs talk this through, donât hit her." Ms.Qian of Wang Family immediately stepped in to defend Qian Xiaoqing upon seeing the slap.
But faced with Yang Chuxiaâs cold eyes, she didnât dare to speak further.
"Let me ask you, what were you planning to do by taking Jindi out?"
At the mention of Yang Jindi, Qian Xiaoqing was evidently stunned but turned her head, "Nonsense, I didnât take her. What would I do with her?"
"Heh, itâs best you tell the truth. My patience is limited. People in the mansion saw you carrying her, and you still want to deny it?"
Qian Xiaoqing didnât seem scared at all, "You said it yourself that it was people from the mansion who saw, not you personally. Your people are framing me."
"I think youâre seriously brainless, framing you? Who do you think you are?"
