Chapter 1661 - 1663: Boiling a Frog in Warm Water
"But speaking of which, how did she know Linyu returned to the Capital City?" Yang Chuxia looked at him with suspicion.
Logically speaking, Linyu and Yang Xiayun had been in the Capital City for several days, hardly anyone knew. Their Prince An’s Mansion hadn’t hosted any banquets, nor did anyone come to visit them, and they hadn’t gone out. How then could that old lady know?
"Who knows." Luo Linhao waved his hand irritably.
"I guess it must have been Princess Consort Le who told her." Lele, who had been quietly reading a book on the side, looked up and said.
"How do you know?"
Luo Linhao thought to himself, even he didn’t know, how could this little kid staying at home know.
"Naturally, someone saw it and told me." Lele leaned on his chin and said, "Uncle, is your family’s old lady a bit too close with the people of Prince Le’s Mansion? Shouldn’t she be closer to Uncle instead?"
"Her? That fool."
Luo Linhao shook his head speechlessly. "Ever since my eldest aunt died, she and my eldest cousin haven’t been very close. In the early years, when my eldest cousin was in a difficult situation in the palace, she didn’t pay much attention in order to protect herself. Now that my eldest cousin’s situation has improved, naturally, she won’t get close to her. She’s probably thinking that since Prince Le is now moving into the court, and with the Emperor favoring Prince Le, she wants to build good relations. She wants to be friends with everyone, but doesn’t realize that the Luo Family’s position is already set. Her thoughtless actions in making connections with others will not only fail to earn genuine favor from them, but they’ll also think she might be trying to play some trick."
"Tsk tsk," Lele nodded, "Having a teammate as stupid as a pig is a terrible thing."
"Pfft..." Luo Linhao laughed, "You got it right, the main problem is that this teammate was handed to me by fate; otherwise, I really wouldn’t want her. But this Prince Le is really annoying, I wonder if he wants us to fall into internal chaos first?"
"We kidnapped Prince Ning, and he thinks we’re in his way," Ye Zi’an explained, "When he has nothing better to do, he finds ways to annoy us, otherwise he’s always bothered by us constantly watching him."
Lele explained, "Prince Le is a tricky opponent. Unless we can catch him off guard and deal him a fatal blow, it will always be like now, seemingly progressing, but actually moving slowly, with neither side able to hit each other’s vitals."
"Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s eat." Luo Linhao waved his hand and said, "I haven’t eaten since I got back, and then that old witch nagged me continuously. Oh, by the way, Sister-in-law, please settle the wedding date for Yunyun and me soon. I need to return to the army camp next spring."
"Got it, Uncle on that side has already sent someone to select a wedding date."
"Sister-in-law, you must choose a closer date." Luo Linhao urged again.
Yang Chuxia sighed, "Why are you in such a hurry? Getting married is a solemn and sacred matter, you can’t be careless."
"Sister-in-law, you know very well, with that old witch around, I must hurry. If she stirs up any trouble, there won’t be time to cry."
"Alright, I’m on it."

"Brother An, I suddenly remembered something." Before going to bed, while she was taking a bath and washing her hair, Ye Zi’an was helping her dry her hair.
"What’s the matter?" Ye Zi’an switched to a dry towel and continued drying her hair.
"What do you think about finding and taking care of that poison expert beside Prince Le? If we can’t hit his vital points, at least we should cut off one arm first. Otherwise, if we keep cooking the frog slowly, when can we ever take him down? Who knows when Prince Ning will be well again? And with Prince Ning missing, Prince Le will certainly have countermeasures."
