Chapter 239 Second Young Master, Please Think Twice
Facing the officer's questioning, Ye Feizhou had already prepared for it, and he heard him say, "My sister is worried about the outer city. She heard that the craftsmen were working overnight, so she always wanted to come out to take a look. But she is a girl after all, and it is inconvenient for her to go in and out in the middle of the night, so I will do it for her. You guys do your patrols, don't worry about me, I'll just go around."
There was nothing wrong with what he said, and the officers had no doubts at all. They all said, "Thank you for your hard work, Second Young Master Ye."
In this way, Ye Feizhou drove the carriage slowly around the outer city until daybreak, when the city gate finally opened. Then he left Lin'an along with the people entering and leaving the city.
The carriage ran faster after leaving the city, but not very fast, because there was a pregnant woman sitting in the carriage. Ye Feizhou had never taken care of a pregnant woman before, but he had heard that pregnant women could not stand the tossing and turning, and they had to be careful in everything they did. So even if he was in a hurry, he did not dare to drive the carriage too fast, for fear that the bumps on the road would affect the fetus in her belly.
In this way, after more than an hour, they finally stopped in front of a manor.
This manor is located in the eastern suburbs of Lin'an. The house covers an area of 100 mu, and there are another 200 mu of fertile land. It was the property given to Ye Feizhou by the Third Prince when he returned from martial arts training. But he has never lived here, and he rarely comes here.
There were servants looking after the farm all the time, and people would come to farm in the spring. The two hundred acres of fertile land had a high yield every year, and the harvested grain was ground into fine rice and all sold at the rice shop. The proceeds would go to Ye Feizhou, but he never cared about that, and never thought that the money was his.
This incident happened suddenly, and it would definitely not be safe for this man to stay in the city. After much deliberation, he finally chose this manor. After all, few people knew that this manor was his, so it was just right to hide his tracks.
In addition, the Prince Ren's Mansion has always kept two secret guards here in case of emergency, which makes this place safer. When he arrived, the secret guards immediately appeared and were about to ask why Ye Feizhou didn't ride a horse, but had to drive a cumbersome carriage here.
But Ye Feizhou ignored them, turned around and helped a woman out of the carriage.
The woman was very young, only about sixteen or seventeen years old, with a very beautiful face and a pair of bright eyes. She looked here and there, with timidity and a hint of innocence in her eyes.
The two secret guards felt a pang in their hearts at that moment, and they looked at each other, both seeing deep uneasiness in each other's eyes.
Why did Young Master Ye come back with a woman? And judging from the way she looked, the woman seemed to be pregnant. Although she wore many clothes in winter, it was hard to tell from her figure, but she kept protecting her belly with her hands, and every move she made was extremely careful, and even a fool could see the clues.
But when getting off the carriage, the woman said to Ye Feizhou: "Sir, please carry me down. I'm a little scared." Ye Feizhou hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and hugged the woman horizontally. He did not put her down immediately, but just carried her all the way to the manor.
The secret guards told the servants to tie up the carriage, and then followed one on the left and one on the right. One of them asked, "Excuse me, Second Young Master, who is this? Are you coming to live in the manor?"
Ye Feizhou nodded, "Yes."
Another person asked: "Is this lady pregnant?"
Ye Feizhou nodded again and said, "Yes."
The two secret guards became more nervous as they listened, and they stuttered, "Second, Second Young Master, who is she? Whose child is it?"
Ye Feizhou did not answer, but lifted the person up, walked all the way to a bedroom, entered the room, and put the person steadily on the bed. Then he said to the two secret guards: "Take good care of her until she gives birth safely. During this period, you must ensure the safety of mother and child."
The secret guards were about to cry in anxiety, thinking, "Second Young Master Ye, please don't cheat us. Isn't this the woman you kept outside? Now that she is pregnant, she is sent to the manor to protect the pregnancy. Although it sounds right, what should they say if the Third Prince finds out? Third Prince, the manor you gave to Second Young Master Ye is occupied by a woman, and the woman is pregnant with Second Young Master Ye's child. Wouldn't the Third Prince set fire to the manor?
So one of them bravely said to him: "Second Master, please think twice!"
Ye Feizhou was puzzled, "Why should I think twice?" He looked at the woman again, "Her? If it's her, there's nothing to think twice about."
"Second Young Master." The secret guard was really anxious. "If Your Highness asks about this, how should I answer?"
He finally understood what the two were thinking. He wanted to explain, but he didn't want to tell them about Ye Hongzhuang. Besides, he still had to get the evidence, so he didn't plan to tell Quan Qingyun about it.
Besides, why should he explain? There were so many women in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion, who had ever explained it to him?
The second young master Ye was feeling awkward again, and he asked the two secret guards, "If I ask you about his backyard, how will you answer? If you can explain it clearly today, then I will tell you about her as well."
The secret guards lowered their heads and dared not ask any more questions.
Come to think of it, there are so many concubines in the Prince Ren's Palace, and it has long been unclear why they have to force the Second Young Master Ye to keep himself clean? In the final analysis, no one on either side is any better, so no one can blame anyone else.
Seeing that the two of them stopped talking, Ye Feizhou didn't want to stay any longer. He just reminded them to take good care of the baby and ensure a safe and smooth delivery, then turned around and left.
Unexpectedly, the woman on the couch grabbed his sleeve and pulled his arm in front of her.
"Don't leave. What will I do if you leave? Where is this place? Why did you bring me here? I'm scared. Sir, can you stay with me? You see, they are all men. Who will take care of me if you leave?" She pressed her face against the back of Ye Feizhou's hand while speaking. Ye Feizhou felt nauseous for no reason and threw her out as a conditioned reflex. As a result, he used too much force and threw her directly against the wall. He was so scared that he hurried to help her and asked nervously, "How are you? Did you bump into anything? Does your stomach hurt?"
The woman grabbed his sleeve and sobbed. The two secret guards couldn't bear to watch it anymore and turned away.
Ye Feizhou was almost annoyed to death. If it wasn't for the evidence that Ye Hongzhuang said, he really didn't want to even look at this kind of woman.
Finally breaking free, Ye Feizhou pulled a string of beads from the woman's neck, turned around and walked quickly out of the house.
The two secret guards followed immediately. He was heard to give orders as he walked: "Go find a maid to serve you. No matter the lady or the maid, they are not allowed to leave the manor." After thinking about it, he changed his words, "They are not allowed to leave the yard. Also, inform everyone in the manor that it is important to keep quiet. No one is allowed to reveal a single word to the outside world. Do you understand?" The secret guard immediately agreed, but still asked one more question: "What about the third prince? Can you tell me?"
Ye Feizhou snorted coldly, "If I say no, will you listen to me?"
The secret guard remained silent.
Although the master told Young Master Ye to take his own words as his own, when Young Master Ye came into conflict with the master, they were the secret guards of the Prince Ren's Palace after all, so they naturally knew what was important and what was not.
Ye Feizhou quickened his pace and walked away without looking back, saying from a distance: "Don't follow me."
The secret guard stopped, watched Ye Feizhou go away, went out the door, got on the carriage, and then went back to the woman's room.
The woman was still sitting on the couch. Seeing the two men coming back, she immediately shrank back and said, "Don't come over here, don't look at me like that, and don't do anything to hurt me, otherwise Young Master Ye will let you go!"
She actually didn't know Ye Feizhou, nor did she know which family the character "Ye" in Ye Er Shao represented. She just heard the official call the young master like this when she was in the city, so she wrote it down. Now she used it to scare the two of them, and it was very effective.
When the secret guards heard her say this, they all frowned and looked at the woman with increasingly unfriendly eyes.
They really wanted to beat this woman to death, because if they didn't, sooner or later she would be beaten to death by the Third Prince. Since she would die sooner or later, why bother the Third Prince to do it?
Thinking this, the two of them took two steps forward.
The woman was anxious, "What are you going to do? Have you forgotten what Young Master Ye said to you before he left? He asked you to take good care of me and make sure I give birth to the baby safely and smoothly!"
The secret guards stopped and one of them asked her, "Whose child is it?"
The woman rolled her eyes: "What do you think?"
"Young Master Ye's?" "If it wasn't his, why would he go through all this trouble to send me here? The young master said that the city is not safe and he was afraid that someone would harm me, so he had to send me farther away. But this place is a little too far, I'm scared, you guys stay away from me."
In the end, the two secret guards did not do anything to the woman. They were just servants and had no right to interfere with what their master did.
But this matter must be told to the Third Prince, and this is also their duty.
On the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Ye Wenyan failed to get up early again.
It was almost dawn when she came back. Shi Liyuan sat in her room for a long time and coaxed her to sleep before leaving.
It was early morning and people were very sleepy. The servants in the yard were very considerate and walked lightly. They tried not to talk to each other unless it was absolutely necessary, and no one went into the house to disturb her.
As for the morning and evening visits to the old lady, no one really cared about that. Although the second lady had set strict rules, if the fourth lady didn't take the initiative to go, they would definitely not rush to cause trouble for the fourth lady. After all, everyone wanted to have some peace and quiet, and if the fourth lady didn't go, the second wife and the old lady would be relieved!
Ye Wenyan slept until half past 9 o'clock. Finally, someone gently pushed open her door. Then she heard light footsteps walking towards the couch, followed by Xiangdong's voice: "Miss, wake up! The Lin'an government office sent an official to say that the prefecture governor wants you to go to the street."
