Chapter 216 The fight started
Ye Qing'an tapped her fingers lightly on the table. She hadn't expected that the Prince of Dingxi must be a member of the Gu family, one of the four great families.
And... Liu Xueying was someone Gu Duo gave to Ye Qinghao.
Later, Gu Hai exposed Gu Duo's treason. After that, Gu Duo defected and later returned to Siyou Kingdom, where he fell into the hands of Ye Qinghao. After that, Ye Qinghao threw him into Nanfeng Pavilion, where he was tortured to death.
She always felt that things weren't as unrelated as they seemed on the surface.
There must be some twists and turns she was unaware of.
The storyteller downstairs had already struck the gavel. Jiu Xiao clicked his tongue and said, "This storyteller doesn't know much. He only knows what he can find out from outside. Should we call him up and have him tell you all the grudges and feuds between the four great families and the royal family?"
Ye Qing'an shook her head: "No need."
"Although Ye Qinghao asked me to leave the manor so that I could find out some things between the powerful and wealthy people in the city, if I appear too eager, it will easily arouse suspicion."
"Don't rush things." Ye Qing'an took a small bite of a pastry, then frowned and put it down. "Besides, you just said that most of what the storyteller said was information that can be easily found out outside."
"Now that we've found out, things are simple."
Although the Nine Heavens are unclear, they feel awe-inspiring.
"What are you planning to do next?"
Ye Qing'an smiled and said, "Let's go for a stroll around the streets."
She has been in this strange world for several months now, and she hasn't even had a proper chance to explore the imperial city of Siyou Kingdom.
And with several followers following her, she should naturally take this opportunity to take a good look at Wangjing City with them.
Ye Qing'an wandered around the city until evening, and only returned to her residence after having dinner.
As soon as Ye Qing'an reached the courtyard gate, he heard Wei Mama's voice, distorted with fear and anger, coming from inside: "Ah! Second Young Master, let go of Eleventh Young Master! He's still so young, how can he withstand you pressing him like this!"
"Stop fighting, stop fighting!"
"Oh dear, hurry up and keep watch at the gate. Let's see when Miss will return! These two little devils are really going to kill me..."
Ye Qing'an raised her eyebrows. Ye Feiran and Eleven?
Another fight broke out?
Weren't their relationship much better before? Why did they suddenly start fighting again?
Ye Qing'an stepped quickly into the door, almost bumping into Linglan who rushed out from inside.
Upon seeing Ye Qing'an, Linglan's face lit up with joy: "Young Miss, Young Miss! Young Miss is back!"
Linglan called out several times before hurriedly saying, "Young Miss, come quick! The Second Young Master and the Eleventh Young Master are fighting again!"
Ye Qing'an nodded and took a few steps into the inner courtyard. He saw that Eleven and Ye Feiran had separated. Both of them looked very bad, like two angry roosters. The maids and servants each held one of them to prevent them from suddenly rushing out to fight again.
"What is this doing?"
Eleven's hair was all disheveled. When she saw Ye Qing'an come in, she suddenly burst into tears: "Mother!"
Shouting, she rushed towards Ye Qing'an: "Mother! He bullied me!"
Ye Feiran was covered in dirt, looking no better than Eleven. When Eleven complained first, he widened his eyes and said, "Bullshit! He was the one who provoked me first. I was just studying, and he called me stupid and an idiot."
"That's true, so what if I can't say it? He can even misread the simple Book of Rites, and not just once. When I corrected him, he said I was too young to know anything."
“I may not know anything, but I still know more than you.”
“He kept mispronouncing it and wouldn’t let me correct him, so I cursed at him, and then he started hitting me.”
Ye Qing'an raised her hand and rubbed her forehead: "Get in here, all of you."
Ye Feiran and Eleven glared at each other, then stared at each other from the left and right as they followed Ye Qing'an into the room.
As soon as the two entered, Ye Qing'an waved his hand and closed the door, shutting out all the servants and their gazes.
Ye Qing'an snorted coldly and raised her voice: "You are all at fault for what happened today. Apologize to yourselves, and then kneel in front of my mother's portrait for half an hour. Any objections?"
"Why? He clearly started it!"
"Why? He was the one who insulted me first!"
Neither of them was willing to give in. Ye Qing'an stretched out his hand, and the Wildfire Whip appeared in his hand. With a flick of the whip, the table was cleaved in two with a loud bang.
Ye Feiran and Eleven both widened their eyes, then hurriedly knelt down.
"I've already said it, you're both at fault." Ye Qing'an sneered, "I only told you the result, I didn't ask you to argue."
"If anyone disagrees within half an hour, come and ask this thing in my hand!"
Ye Feiran and Shiyi knelt down with their heads down, like quails, and remained silent.
Ye Qing'an put away the Wildfire Whip and pushed open the door.
There were many people standing outside, peeking into the room. As soon as Ye Qing'an opened the door, everyone saw the two people kneeling in the main hall.
When Wei Mama saw Ye Qing'an come out, she sighed deeply: "It's still the eldest young lady who has a way. Just now, the second young master and the eleventh young master suddenly started to get excited. No matter how I tried to persuade or pull them, I couldn't stop them. I was so worried."
"I was thinking that if Miss doesn't come back soon, we'll have to send someone to the main courtyard to ask Master to come and uphold justice."
Ye Qing'an pursed her lips and didn't speak: "Go and boil some water. Don't stand here. The two of them are already angry. If you stand here, they'll feel like you're laughing at them, and they'll probably get even angrier."
"Yes, Miss is right."
Having witnessed the two children's violent tempers in the room, Granny Wei was still shaken and quickly turned around, saying, "Get out of here, all of you, get out of here."
After the servants outside the door had all dispersed, Ye Qing'an returned to the room and stared intently at the two people kneeling inside: "Speak, what exactly happened?"
Ye Feiran and Eleven exchanged a glance. Eleven raised her hand and pointed at Ye Feiran: "He's the one who asked me to sing this play with him. Ask him."
Ye Qing'an then looked at Ye Feiran.
Ye Feiran lowered her eyes: "Yesterday I met the old nanny who serves my mother in the courtyard. She asked me how I was doing here and why I hadn't visited my mother recently."
Ye Qing'an raised an eyebrow: "Oh? So how did you answer?"
