Chapter 1702 - 1704: Slipped Away Midway
"Uh..." Yangyang opened his mouth when he heard this, wanting to say something, but finally closed it again, "Forget it, I didn’t say anything just now."
"Why go silent again?" Yang Chuxia fed Qingqing a spoonful of porridge and glanced at him.
Then, after a good while, he sighed deeply and said, "Our family is ruled by Mom. Decisions she makes are generally not easy to change. Since it’s hard to change things, why should I say more? Waste of words."
After speaking, he quickly finished his porridge and urged Lele, "Brother, I’m done. Are you ready?"
"I’m ready."
Looking at the backs of the brothers, Yang Chuxia shook her head.
After the meal, Ye Zi’an went to catch up on sleep.
Yang Chuxia took the two little ones to play in the courtyard.
"Madam, that Luo Linfei ran off halfway."
"Ran off?"
"Yes, but she found her way back to the Luo Family." Mingcui lowered her head and said, her expression somewhat strange, "The problem is she returned home on her own, in a mess, and was seen by many people."
"Then it can’t be blamed on us." Yang Chuxia chuckled, "Originally, I just wanted to make her think she had lost her virtue, make her feel uncomfortable inside, but never intended to ruin her reputation. We discreetly send her home, but she insists on running away herself, then she can’t blame anyone else."
"What do we do now?" Mingcui asked again.
"Do nothing, just pretend we don’t know about this." Yang Chuxia said again, "In a few days, we’ll just go directly to propose marriage."
Not dwelling on the matter, Yang Chuxia continued to play with the two little ones.
The Ye Family’s life was harmonious, calm and smooth, but the Prince Le’s Mansion and the Luo Residence were not so peaceful.
First, at the Prince Le’s Mansion, they found the woman who came to detoxify the heir was missing. Investigating along the way, they discovered two groups that wanted to abduct the woman, and another group wanted to rescue her. But the problem is, they still haven’t figured out who these groups belonged to.
Although nothing was found, Prince Le speculated that it was none other than those few families, only regretting they had no direct evidence, and began to suspect if the three sides had joined forces.
There was also one thing he figured out: why his son was poisoned. After so many twists and turns, it was actually for that poisonous woman.
Though the poisonous woman wasn’t entirely clear about his matters, she crafted many poisons, and if she couldn’t withstand interrogation, it would bring endless troubles.
Thus, orders began to issue from the Prince Le’s Mansion.
For this, he even made a special trip to the palace, saying the heir’s lifesaving benefactor was kidnapped. Upon hearing this, the Emperor couldn’t tolerate it, thus ordered the Ministry of Criminal Justice to search, search across the Capital City, search throughout Great Zhou.

Meanwhile, the Luo Residence was also in chaos.
Luo Linfei had pretended to need a restroom break and ran away.
As if getting lost was not enough on her way back to the Luo Residence, she almost got kidnapped, stumbling all the way back.
The kid might have been scared silly, forgetting to return home from the back door, and when entering the front gate, she happened to run into a neighbor of the Luo Residence, a Marchioness from a Marquis Mansion.
The Marchioness was not only a big mouth but also someone who thrived on chaos. She loudly asked in a caring tone what happened to her and kindly escorted her into the Luo Residence.
Having someone like that witness Luo Linfei’s disheveled return home, the results were predictable: within a day, the entire Capital City knew about the eldest lady of the Luo Family returning home early in the morning in a chaotic state.
