Chapter 773 - 771 Who is that?
Ye Xinyan was oblivious to Jiang Yifan’s thoughts. She leaned across the small table, her eyes gleaming mischievously toward Jiang Yifan, and asked in a low voice, "Was it your arrangement? Make sure everything is taken care of, don’t let my grandfather find out. If the old man realizes so many of us are scheming against him, he will be heartbroken."
Ye Xinyan did feel some affection for Duke An as his granddaughter. Even though Ye Hongyang was quite unworthy, she didn’t want Duke An to feel betrayed, thinking that many in the family were plotting against him. He was old, and it would sadden the old man deeply.
Jiang Yifan laughed leisurely, "How could that be, how could I do such a thing? It was a coincidence that on that day, when I was listening to a story with my senior and Brother Zheng, we saw your father encounter that woman. I was afraid of causing trouble, so I even took out fifty taels of silver and asked Changyuan to send those three opera singers away as soon as possible."
Believe that, my foot! A coincidence, huh? Who are you fooling? Ye Xinyan eyed Jiang Yifan skeptically, her disdain clear in the slant of her gaze.
Jiang Yifan spread his hands in feigned innocence, then couldn’t hold back a laugh, "Whatever the case, it’s only right that your mother gets the divorce. The key is you. After your mother’s divorce, you need to stay home and behave, cater to the old man’s wishes more, and make him feel at ease."
"I understand, I understand." Ye Xinyan happily replied, casting a glance at Jiang Yifan that made him appear particularly pleasing to the eye. Being so adept and managing to not leave any loose ends under Duke An’s watch, such a husband could be considered a golden catch, right?
Indeed, her luck wasn’t bad.
Even though You Chenghui concluded the case quickly, Ye Xinyan hadn’t brought it up at home, nearly everyone in Duke’s Mansion found out simultaneously that Ye Xinyan had lost her lawsuit.
Duke An knew she had filed a complaint, but he hadn’t expected that in just half a day, his outstanding granddaughter would lose the case.
Although Duke An had previously expressed some displeasure about Ye Xinyan personally submitting the complaint to the Yamen, she was still his granddaughter after all. That Chenghui kid actually ruled against her, which was preposterous! Was this the verdict after considering the status and power of Ye Tang and Prince Fu?
