Meng Lan shook her head, "No, no, no, not yet."

"Young miss knows your highness the best. Your highness doesn't have any young lady from the Yu family in your heart. You won't be betrothed to her!"

Not yet.

Ye Jinxiu lowered her head and didn't say anything. She leaned her head against the window and looked outside. Suddenly, she remembered the words that the Grand Princess had said to her. Ye Jinsu asked, "Was the Grand Princess the one who chose this marriage for him?"

Meng Lan didn't answer for a while.

It was because the Grand Princess was at the side of the Emperor that the Prince found himself in a difficult position. However, what could Ye Jinsu do? She bit her lips and felt a bit disheartened.

However, even if Meng Lan didn't answer, Ye Jinsu could already guess.

Since the Grand Princess cared so much about her younger brother, she would naturally choose the best person for him. The Yu Family could indeed be of help to Ning Yunxiao, and Yu Yao'er was also a smart person. If she had the intention, she would definitely be more useful than him.

She wanted to escape, but she couldn't as she stood in the middle of the situation.

If they wanted to stand with him, they would have to step into this situation as well.

Ye Jinsu was a bit pessimistic. Before, she only recognized the situation and not her own heart, but now, she was forced to face the situation head on.

Worst of all, she shouldn't have come to King Ning's estate.

He shouldn't have provoked Ning Yunyin on the spur of the moment.

Now that he had angered her to the point that she was unable to retreat safely, she might even feel completely exhausted.

Sighing, Ye Jinsu closed her eyes. He might as well not think about anything related to Ning Yunxiao. In any case, no matter how much he thought about it, it was still an unsolvable dead end.

It was as if the two of them were destined to have rough times from the beginning.

When he returned to the courtyard, he found that the room was no longer filled with someone who loved to chatter and chatter. It had become especially deserted. Meng Lan was afraid that Ye Jin Su would think of Xiao Hong again, making her sad. She tried to break the deathly silence by speaking loudly, "These little maids really don't know how to act. They won't even refill the teapot in the room. I'll go teach them a lesson tomorrow."

Ye Jinsu was silent for a moment before she finally sighed and said, "Little Red went to get some water in the past."

Meng Lan wanted to bite her tongue off.

It really was like talking about a pot or a pot.

Ye Jinxiu didn't care too much about it. Even if Meng Lan didn't mention it, she still wouldn't miss it. It was hard to lose someone by your side all of a sudden. She could only change her mind for a moment. "What happened in the Manor today?"

She had gone to Ning Yunyin's mansion early in the morning and had only just returned. More than half of the day had passed.

When she had just returned, she didn't notice anything strange in the mansion.

Ye Shisui had really sealed off the news.

Meng Lanliang nodded. He asked for some information, "Madam has been locked up for a day, and Master has not even given her food. In the morning, the Old Master went to visit the Old Master's courtyard, and when he heard that Ye Zichen had come out, he didn't look too good. "

She had heard all of this from the maidservants in the courtyard. They thought that the Old Master was asking the Old Master to deal with the Xie Clan again. If he didn't agree, the Old Master would be angered again.

This wasn't the first or second time. The servant girl didn't think much of it and told Meng Lan.

Only she thought that the Old Master probably already knew that General Su and the Xie Clan were each from the Su Clan.

Ye Jinxiu also thought of this and rubbed her glabella tiredly.

The Old Master was more considerate than Ye Shisui, and this matter might affect the Ye Residence. This was a direct slap to the Old Master's face. Presumably, the Old Master would be furious like a thunderclap.

He was afraid that he would have to settle the score with him again.

It was a pity that Ye Jinsu didn't have the mood to face him.

"Go and close the door of the courtyard. Tell them that I am sick and will not go out nor see anyone." Ye Jinsu pressed his temples and said. Little Red was still unsure of whether she was dead or alive, so she didn't have the mood to face the people from this residence.

He wasn't in the mood to face the Old Master's chattering, nor was he in the mood to act out any obedient moves in front of Ye Shisui.

Compared to those old grudges, the person in front of him was clearly more important.

At most, he would just do it again.

She was really tired now.

Meng Lan's heart ached as she looked at him. She extended her hand to help press Ye Jinsu's head. However, Ye Jinsu held his hand and lightly shook her head, "You can leave. I'll rest for a bit."

"If Little Red has any news, come find me."

Meng Lan nodded and sighed as she left.

Ye Jinsu leaned against the collapsed ground and closed her eyes to rest, but her brows were slightly furrowed. She had been worried all along, and it had felt worse than standing on the edge of a cliff.

Out of habit, Ye Jinsu reached for the jade pendant on her waist. However, he only relaxed his brows for a moment, and then his frown deepened. She actually fell into a deep sleep.

It was still Meng Lan who came to report that night. The knock on the door startled Ye Jinsu awake. Just like that, she lay down on the collapsed bed and fell asleep, blowing on the cool night wind.

The night was a bit cold, so Ye Jinshu tightened his clothes and coughed twice, not caring too much at the moment.

There was only one reason why Meng Lan came to find her at this time.

Little Red has news.

Pushing the door open, Ye Jinxiu's eyes were bloodshot, but she still impatiently asked with a hoarse voice, "Have you found out about Jing Yun?"

Meng Lan saw that Ye Jinxiu was wearing her clothes properly. The hair ornaments on her head were not taken off, but they looked a bit messy. He then looked at the collapse behind her and immediately understood what was going on.

"Yes, miss, don't be anxious." Meng Lan comforted Ye Jinsu and pulled her down, pouring a cup of water to moisten her throat.

"It's on a farm in the suburbs, where the Sun family owned the property. There are more than a dozen farmers living inside, and one of them has Xiao Hong locked up in it, and is being watched by two people. "

Two people?

Ye Jinsu frowned. This was too little. Less abnormal.

Before Meng Lan could finish her sentence, she continued, "Although there were only two people that were keeping a close eye on Xiao Hong, Jing Yun found out that it was only the farmhouse. "The other farmers in the surrounding four or five families are all people of General Sun."

"They are all here to watch Miss Lil 'Red. All of them are people who train in martial arts. They are not easy to deal with."

Ye Jinxiu frowned. Her intuition was not good.

If they were hiding somewhere else, it would be alright. In a place like a farm, which farmer didn't have a neighbor? If Sun Zheng were to suddenly send so many people in, it would definitely cause others to be surprised.

Since he dared to do so, it meant that these people were there a long time ago.

They usually lived as farmers, and if they met with any mishaps, they would die as farmers. There might even be someone who would make a big fuss about it.

In addition, under these circumstances, it was impossible to save her.

With so many people on guard, it was impossible for them to make any small movements. However, if the disturbance was too great and it caused panic in the villagers, then it would result in another major event.

Ye Jinsu really didn't expect him to be so considerate as to mix in with the farmers and make things difficult for them.

The only thing worth celebrating was that Xiao Hong was tied up. At the very least, it meant that General Sun didn't want to kill her.

This meant that he would have to fight to the death with Ye Jinsu.

Ye Jinsu massaged her temples with a headache. She could not help but cough twice, and her face was a bit abnormally red.

She had to discuss this with Ning Yunyin.

But before she could open her mouth, she couldn't help but cough.
