Chapter 1705 - 1707: Look How Scared He Is
The two children spoke without lowering their voices at all, and Yang Chuxia and the Lord Commander of the Imperial Army heard their conversation clearly.
The Lord Commander was embarrassed and also recalled the last time Prince Le came in person, found nothing, and ended up losing a thousand taels of silver.
How does this sound like these two kids did it on purpose, deliberately tricking Prince Le?
From what was said just now, they are planning to trick him again? Oh my! He doesn’t have as much money as Prince Le does. Even if it wasn’t obvious before, now the Emperor sends all sorts of rewards every day, adding up to more wealth than he has.
The Lord Commander couldn’t help but wipe the sweat off his forehead when he thought of this.
Yang Chuxia’s mouth twitched. These two mischievous kids speak so loudly. They are truly clueless. Even if there’s a plan, they should keep it quiet.
"What are you two chattering about out here? Come inside already!"
"Wow... Mother heard us talking?" Yangyang shouted from outside the door, and upon realizing, rushed inside, "Mother, since you’ve already heard, can you cover the money for my flexible sword?"
"We’ll discuss this later." Yang Chuxia rubbed his little head and added, "You’re still young. It’s better to use it when you’re older."
"But I want it now, Mother." Yangyang pulled her arm, desperately whining and shaking.
The Lord Commander, seeing Yang Chuxia focused only on the two children and not paying him any mind, decided not to enter the house, and instead waved to let people go straight inside.
He thought no wonder Prince Le instructed him to conduct a thorough search of the Ye Family. The Ye Family always obstructed, and even he thought there might be an issue.
But just as his men reached the door, Ye Zi’an opened it from inside, looking surprised to see them.
"Why are you at my house again?"
"Lord Ye, we have orders to search for the culprit who kidnapped the Heir of Prince Le’s savior. We hope Lord Ye won’t obstruct us, or we won’t be able to explain to the Emperor."
"Oh, in that case, you may go in."
Ye Zi’an didn’t say anything else and immediately stepped aside to let them in.
He then complained to Yang Chuxia, "Wife, you should’ve woken me up when they were executing official duties."
"Hehe, I didn’t want to disturb you since you were sleeping soundly."
As Ye Zi’an and Yang Chuxia spoke, Lele gave Yangyang a look. Seeing it, Yangyang nodded and went inside.
As soon as he entered, the Lord Commander’s hair stood on end.
"Everyone, hurry up." The Lord Commander thought, better search quickly and leave; who knows what this kid plans to do next, his purse can’t afford to lose any silver.
"Lord Commander, there’s nothing here."
"Nothing in the other rooms either."
"Nothing unusual found."
Quickly finished searching, the people who searched other courtyards also came over.
The Lord Commander waved his hand, "If there’s nothing, pack up and move to the next house."
"Yes."
Watching the group leave the room, Yangyang put his hands on his hips, muttering loudly enough, "Hey, everyone moved pretty fast, I didn’t even get a chance to make a move."
Hearing this, the Lord Commander quickened his pace, thinking indeed, this little brat had bad intentions.
"Tsk tsk, look how scared he is, his steps are all disordered. Such little courage, and yet he dared to come to our mansion to search."
After the people had left, Yangyang said a couple more words.
"It’s not that he’s timid, just that he feels sorry for the silver in his purse, alright." Lele added.
