Chapter 293 Calculation
Ye Qing'an felt ice-cold all over. Liu Xueying was quite shrewd; although her provocation tactic was rather old-fashioned, the key was that it was very effective on Ye Feiran.
Moreover, she had a good grasp of people's hearts. She knew that Ye Feiran was naturally fond of joining in the fun, and that seeing such a lively place with so many people around would surely pique his curiosity and make him try to find a way to go and see.
Having planned it all out, Ye Feiran knew that if he saw cockfighting, he would definitely be tempted to join in.
They had planned it all out. If Ye Feiran lost after participating, he would definitely be angry and speak recklessly.
She had already planned it all out, realizing she hadn't anticipated this situation. And, with a child in her arms, she certainly couldn't recklessly follow Ye Feiran into crowded places.
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down...
"Find a way to knock him out without making a sound." Ye Qing'an pursed her lips, her voice surprisingly calm: "Once he's unconscious, we'll go over there, and then you can pretend to give Ye Feiran a chance to check on him, and then drug Ye Feiran."
"If you have any drugs that can turn someone into a madman or an idiot, then feed them to him. If not, then make him unconscious."
Yi Moxu's gaze swept over Ye Qing'an, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "Alright, then let's do it your way."
Yi Moxu quietly sent out the command, and soon, Ye Feiran, who was looking panicked and at a loss for what to do, and who was pale and trying to speak up to defend himself, suddenly froze and collapsed to the ground.
Seeing this, the sixth prince and his two sons frowned, gritted their teeth and sneered: "Oh ho, what are they doing? They know they have made such a huge mistake and can't deny it, so they are trying to pretend to faint or die to escape this calamity."
"What's the use of playing dead? As long as you're not really dead, there are always a hundred ways to wake you up. Besides, even if you were dead, the Ye family would still be implicated."
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath, exchanged a glance with Yi Moxu, and quickly ran over: "Feiran, Feiran, what's wrong? What happened?"
Yi Moxu was faster and soon stopped next to Ye Feiran, put Eleven aside, and squatted down.
Ye Qing'an rushed over and, together with Eleven, blocked Ye Feiran and Yi Moxu.
Upon seeing this, the Sixth Prince and his two companions narrowed their eyes and loudly questioned, "Who are you? What are you doing? The Sixth Prince is here; how dare you be so insolent?"
Ye Qing'an turned her head, looking surprised: "Sixth Prince?"
Ye Qing'an quickly bowed and said, "So it's the Sixth Prince. I am Ye Qing'an, and I pay my respects to the Sixth Prince."
"Ye Qing'an? You also have the surname Ye. What is your relationship with Ye Feiran?"
"I am Ye Feiran's older sister." Ye Qing'an's face showed a hint of panic. "My family and I took the children to see the lanterns. I didn't know when Feiran left. I saw him faint here from afar just now. I was worried, so I rushed over. I didn't know the Sixth Prince was here. I apologize for offending the Sixth Prince."
"Ye Qing'an..." The Sixth Prince looked at Ye Qing'an, and another young master beside him asked, "Is she the rumored eldest daughter of the Ye family, the good-for-nothing older sister that Ye Feiran always talks about?"
Ye Feiran glanced at the young master, who was about eleven or twelve years old. From his words, it seemed that he recognized Ye Feiran, and Ye Feiran was even somewhat familiar with him.
He's probably someone Ye Feiran offended before; I wonder which family's young master he is in Wangjing City.
"Yes," Ye Qing'an replied, bowing her head.
"Oh, so it's you. Do you know that just two months ago, your brother was cursing you in front of us, calling you a good-for-nothing, a clueless country bumpkin, and a promiscuous slut?"
"Do you know that your dear younger brother just spoke rudely to the Sixth Prince and even dared to claim that his father is more powerful than anyone else, even more powerful than the Emperor?"
"He really dared to say such treasonous things. Now that the Sixth Prince has heard these words, he certainly won't ignore them. Move aside, we need to take Ye Feiran back to the palace so that the Emperor can personally punish him. We also want the Emperor to know just how formidable the Second Young Master of the Ye family is."
Ye Qing'an looked panicked: "How could this be? Although my brother is a bit mischievous, he is not so confused when it comes to matters of principle. Something must have gone wrong."
The Sixth Prince slightly raised his eyes and flicked his sleeves: "What? Does Miss Ye think that I, this prince, have lied?"
Ye Qing'an quickly shook her head: "No, no, no, this humble woman dares not."
"Get out of the way!" Although the sixth prince was young, he was still born into the royal family. His fierce but weak-willed demeanor and stern rebuke were quite imposing.
"Since you were unaware of the situation, I will not pursue the matter further. I will only take Ye Feiran away now, and I will allow you to go back and inform the Prime Minister Ye so that he can enter the palace and confront Ye Feiran in court."
"If you don't move aside, then don't blame me for being impolite."
Ye Qing'an bit her lip, her eyes filled with genuine panic.
Just as she was about to argue further, her dress was tugged from behind. Yi Moxu stood up and exchanged a glance with Ye Qing'an.
Ye Qing'an looked conflicted, and after a long while, she seemed to finally make up her mind and stepped aside.
The Sixth Prince glanced at Ye Qing'an and sneered, "Even siblings are nothing special."
"Guards! Tie Ye Feiran up and take him away!"
The guards rushed forward, took out ropes, and tied Ye Feiran up tightly. Then they lifted him up, carried him aside, and threw him into a carriage parked nearby.
The sixth prince and the two young masters boarded another carriage and soon departed under the escort of guards.
Ye Qing'an took a deep breath and turned her head: "Was the medicine administered? What kind of medicine was it?"
"A drug that drives people crazy."
Ye Qing'an nodded. If it was this kind of medicine, then it would be perfect.
Ye Qing'an turned to look at Shiyi and Yimoxu: "It's rare for Shiyi to go out, and it's the Mid-Autumn Festival which only comes once a year. You two can continue to have fun outside. This matter is aimed at me, and whether you are here or not, not many people will notice."
"I don't want something like this to ruin my mood for having fun during the National Day holiday."
Yi Moxu stared at Ye Qing'an for a while before nodding: "Alright, I'll take Eleven to continue watching the lanterns, and I'll send two people to accompany you. If you need anything, you can tell them, or you can have them come find me..."
