Chapter 1799 - 1801
"Shut up, you little bastard!" Hearing this, Madam Tong lowered her head and shouted again.
No one could figure out where her strength came from, as she lifted Lele with one hand while squeezing his neck with the other.
Yang Chuxia heard her cursing again, her gaze darkened, and her face turned somewhat cold.
Ye Zi’an felt the same; the children at home were his pride and joy, the apples of his eye, and he could not allow them to suffer even the slightest harm.
Yangyang’s eyes were red, angrily glaring over, wondering how this person could be so annoying.
"Let go of my brother, I’ll let you strangle me," he finally shouted.
"No!" Lele, who was usually indifferent, suddenly had red eyes upon hearing Yangyang say this. He shook his head while struggling and spoke.
"Humph, impossible!" Madam Tong snorted coldly, her hand applying more force.
Yang Chuxia pulled Yangyang aside upon hearing this, "Step back, don’t talk nonsense, mother will handle this. Your brother will be alright."
If someone as weak as that could harm her son, it would indeed be a joke.
"State Duke Tong, you came at the right time. I thought you wouldn’t show up." As soon as Yang Chuxia finished speaking, Ye Zi’an said this.
With this one sentence, Madam Tong hurriedly looked back, "Lord State Duke, you’re here!"
Just as she turned her head, silver threads from Yang Chuxia suddenly looped around Madam Tong’s neck, and she instinctively grabbed at them with both hands.
As she let go, Lele was about to fall, and at the same time, Ye Zi’an rushed over quickly and sharply to catch Lele.
"Are you alright, son?" Ye Zi’an spoke while checking Lele’s neck, finding it was fine except for some finger marks.
Nevertheless, Ye Zi’an was still furious, "Someone report to the authorities that Madam Tong, the former wife of Lord State Duke Tong, attempted to murder His Highness Prince An!"
"Understood!"
With Ye Zi’an’s command, Yang Chuxia released Madam Tong, who was then subdued by two maids from the Ye Family.
Seeing that her son was alright, Yang Chuxia then turned to Madam Tong and slapped her twice.
"Old wretch, how dare you take my son hostage? Luckily my son is unscathed, otherwise, I would have taken your life."
Because Madam Tong caused a commotion at the entrance of Prince An’s Mansion, people around were already gathering to watch the spectacle.
Prince An’s Mansion was located in the inner city of the Capital, and those residing on the same street were earls, marquises, dukes, or high-ranking officials. Though the ones coming out to watch the show and inquire about the news were mostly servants, they knew this might not end well.
Madam Tong’s intended victim was a prince, and the crime of assassinating a prince was punishable by death.
Some acquainted with the Tong Residence hurriedly went to report the news, while others familiar with her family did the same.
Furthermore, some went to report to Prince Zhuang’s Mansion.
Upon hearing that Madam Tong had gone to attempt to kill Lele, Prince Zhuang’s Mansion was furious, feeling an intense urge for rage and retribution.
A foolish wife brings misfortune to her husband, as evidenced by Lord State Duke Tong.
"I’ll go and see. Those two are protective; this surely stirred up trouble that can’t be easily settled." Baili Yan shook his head, "Were it not for State Duke Tong still being of use, I really wouldn’t want to meddle in this mess."
"Prince, there’s no need to worry." Princess Consort Zhuang finished dressing Baili Yan, and his personal attendant spoke up, "It’s said that State Duke Tong already divorced Madam Tong. Madam Tong blames Madam Ye for this and hence came to confront her. The Ye family’s people reported the news to the Tong Residence, but they were not allowed inside. The Tong Residence stated that Prince An’s Mansion should handle the matter themselves."
"Is that so?" Baili Yan thought for a moment before waving his hand, "You go keep an eye, notify me when State Duke Tong arrives, and if he doesn’t, let it be; I’ll pretend I don’t know."
