Chapter 736: The situation is a total ss.
Ye Jiu returned to the room, called for Serving Maid, and asked, “Did you hear everything I just said to Prince Jing?”
“I heard… I heard it.” Serving Maid also had a premonition, feeling as though she might have overheard sothing incredibly serious.
She was so frightened. Could the young lady kill to silence her?
Fortunately, Ye Jiu only gave her a slight scolding, “I don’t care what you heard or what you’ve thought, but you must take everything I just said to Prince Jing to the grave. You absolutely cannot speak of it, understood?”
“Understood.” Serving Maid imdiately felt as if she had been given a new lease on life.
“Alright, you may leave now,” Ye Jiu instructed.
A mont later, Ye Bai barged in carelessly, “Master, today it was because you called that I transford into a human in front of everyone. You can’t bla this mistake on .”
Ye Jiu imdiately slapped her forehead, cursing Prince Jing for having frazzled her to the point of losing her composure.
After her regret, Ye Jiu quickly asked, “Did anyone see you transform into a human?”
Ye Bai was quite conceited, “Of course not. Those little fledglings couldn’t detect my presence at all when I didn’t reveal myself.”
That was a relief, Ye Jiu could finally feel at ease.
“Has he left?” Ye Jiu asked again.
“Of course he’s gone. When Ye Bai takes action, there’s no one he can’t stop!” Ye Bai declared, then suddenly rembered that Prince Jing had a ssage to pass on, “However, Prince Jing said that he wants the master to go to the manor tomorrow to hand over the sweet potatoes.”
“I understand. You can go out now, be careful not to be discovered,” Ye Jiu said, feeling a deep need for quiet.
Her mind was in chaos, just like a ss of paste.
Elsewhere, Old Man Ye and his two sons were walking out when they suddenly noticed a familiar figure ahead.
Instantly, Old Man Ye stopped in his tracks.
“Dad, what’s wrong? Weren’t you going to check if the fields were well maintained? Why have you stopped?” Ye Gaoshi and Ye Gaoshui had already walked several steps ahead when they realized that Old Man Ye had stopped, so they turned back to ask him.
Old Man Ye cautiously stepped between his sons and whispered, “That person ahead, it’s Prince Jing.”
Then, Old Man Ye’s face turned mournful.
Hadn’t that man left before the new year? Why had he returned?
It seed like he was purposely making things difficult for the Ye family.
Ye Gaoshi and Ye Gaoshui exchanged looks, thinking Old Man Ye must be confused, “Dad, you must be mistaken. How could Prince Jing co to our house?”
The matter of the sweet potatoes was kept a secret from outsiders, so not even all mbers of the Ye family might be aware of it.
“How could I be mistaken? Even if he were ashes, I would recognize him!” This was the man who wanted to vie for his daughter, how could he forget, “Prince Jing ca on the fourth son’s wedding day, but left early, so nobody else knows. Such an important person, I couldn’t have mistaken him.”
After speaking, Old Man Ye suddenly turned, “No, I can’t go to the fields anymore, I have to go and discuss this with your mother imdiately.”
Otherwise, by the ti his daughter was taken away, they would still be in the dark.
Ye Gaoshi and Ye Gaoshui watched Old Man Ye swiftly head back, both with confusion written on their faces.
A visit from soone as important as Prince Jing should be a good thing, as long as he wasn’t coming to cause trouble. However, looking at their father’s expression, it was as if an enemy had co, with a look of wariness all over his face.
It was truly strange!
