"So he kidnapped my brother to make him the Emperor of Great Qi?" Lele blinked, then said after a while, "I must say, those with the surname Baili are all so willful."
"Indeed, from this perspective, he is truly the Grand Emperorās son." Yang Chuxia couldnāt help but say that both father and son were extremely willful.
"Mom, is he really sick?" Previously, Lele had heard that Prince Le had some personality disorder, but now it didnāt seem that way.
"I donāt know either." Yang Chuxia knew what he meant and said, "He did have issues before, and the ruthless side dominated him. Now, since we havenāt been in contact for a long time, and from his attitude towards your brother and your cousin, it seems heās not as vicious as we thought."
"Thatās perversion, not viciousness." Ye Ziāan said, "Taking someone elseās son as your own, is there anything more perverse than that?"
"Hold on." Lele suddenly said, holding his forehead, "If my brother is his youngest son, then who is his eldest son?"
"It should be his own child." Ye Ziāan said, "When we were in Liangchuan, we received a letter from the Capital City saying that the heir of Prince Le passed away, and the Princess Consort Le, overwhelmed with grief, is now seriously ill. I think the heir didnāt die, but was taken away by Prince Le."
"He really is deeply scheming." Lele propped his chin with both hands, "Dad, you need to prepare early. I heard that the General of Defense in Great Qi is the Second Princeās man. If this Second Prince is indeed Prince Le, then they might withdraw their troops, but they could come back at any time."
"Yes, Iām aware of that."
A few days later, new information came, saying that the eldest son of the Second Prince, Qi Chen, inherited the throne, whereas the younger son, Qi Yang, went missing.
Yang Chuxia, upon hearing this news, couldnāt sit still. If Ye Ziāan hadnāt stopped her, she might have gone to Great Qi to find him privately.
"Mom, donāt worry." Lele comforted her, "I believe my brother isnāt missing but has run away by himself. If he escaped on his own, he would definitely find a way to return to Great Zhou. By then, have Dad notify the military camp so if anyone comes from over there, they can bring them over for questioning."
"Lele is right."
Ye Ziāan also said, "From what I know about Yangyang, once heās free, heāll definitely come back. So, donāt worry too much. If you feel stuffy staying inside, you can go out for a walk."
"Okay, I understand."
Seeing she was still low spirited, Ye Ziāan exchanged glances with Lele, indicating to cheer her up.
Lele blinked, why do I have to cheer up your wife?
Infuriated, Ye Ziāan glared at him a few more times before Lele jumped off the chair and went to say comforting words to Yang Chuxia.
Seeing this, Ye Ziāan headed to the study, and at the doorway, Ye Liu was already waiting.
"Lord Marquis, the Prefect of Xining Prefecture, the Prefectural Magistrate, and others have sent you visiting cards."
"Them?" Ye Ziāan sneered at the mention, "Their information travels quite fast, huh?"
"A major case in the three prefectures of Liangchuan just occurred, and everyone is paying attention. Itās hard to keep the lordās movements hidden."
Ye Ziāan took the visiting cards and flipped through them, "These cards came from quite a distance, didnāt they? Iām in Liao City, theyāre in the prefecture, yet they managed to reach me here?"
"I suspect these cards werenāt sent from the prefecture. These gentlemen might already be in Liao City, as they delivered visiting cards the day before which I refused. I didnāt expect them to deliver again today."
