Chapter 26: How Did You Know That He Did It?

"It can't be said that they're all unrelated. Wan er was behind what happened with Huan Heng, but Second Older Sister should be aware that Wan er only did this to frame you with it. Wan er had already told you about the hidden saffron, no?" Yao Mowan used her gentlest tone to remind Yao Suluan of the cruelest reality.

"But that day, you were clearly spying on Ordinance Palace! And before Yu Funing disappeared, you had meals in Fragrance Steps Pavilions multiple times! This consort had personally witnessed all of this, are you going to deny it?" Not only did Yao Mowan frame her, she had Bai Mei, that damned swindler trick her. That was the only reason she had hardened her heart and gotten rid of the child in her belly. She'll make Yao Mowan pay for that sooner or later!

"Who doesn't have a curious heart? After all, weren't you also outside Ordinance Palace that day? As for having meals in Fragrant Steps Pavilion, in reality it was Yu Funing that had extended the invitation with other thoughts in mind. She has admired Ye Junqing for a long time. This is a secret, but it's fine to let you know. After all, you wouldn't be dumb enough to tell His Majesty." Yao Mowan lifted her brows as she sat down on a stone bench.

"Why can't this consort tell His Majesty?" Yao Suluan disagreed.

"Very simple ah. Yu Funing has already disappeared and everyone already knows that Ye Junqing admired the empress and had no interest in anyone else. If you tell His Majesty, it'd only serve make him angry. If you end up making a wrong move, he might even take the anger out on you. There's simply no benefit in doing so." Yao Mowan lifted her delicate fingers to gently brush off the pear blossom petals on the stone table.

"Yao Mowan, even though you're brillant with words, this consort doesn't believe a single thing you say! There will come a day when this consort proves everything in front of His Majesty and make it so you have nowhere to escape to!" Yao Suluan hadn't expected Yao Mowan to be so skilled with words. No matter how she tried to guide the topic towards Yao Moxin, Yao Mowan didn't let slip any evidence that she knew Yao Moxin's true cause of death.

"Alright. Mowan really hopes for that day to arrive soon! But Mowan has just one warning, Second Older Sister. It's rare for someone to sincerely care for you in this world, you shouldn't let them down, otherwise it'd be too late to regret." Yao Mowan looked towards Yao Suluan meaningfully. Birds of a feather flock together. Yao Suluan and Ye Liyu were truly a match made in heaven.

"This consort doesn't know what nonsense you're saying?" Yao Suluan tried to look unpreturbed as she denied this, but internally she was panicking. Could it be that Yao Mowan knew what was going on between her and Ye Liyu? That's not possible! They've always concealed this matter carefully, it wasn't possible for anyone to know!

"Since Second Older Sister can't understand, then just treat it as Mowan didn't say anything. Does Second Older Sister plan to stay here to have your meal? Of course, if Second Older Sister isn't afraid of Mowan poisoning the dishes, Mowan would be happy to have a nice drink with Second Older Sister!" Yao Mowan lifted her brows as she looked towards Yao Suluan with her eyes perfectly clear and naive. This was the look that Yao Suluan hated most. She gave a cold humph, then left Guan Osprey Palace.

After Yao Suluan left, Yao Mowan sighed. It was truly different when one had backing. Yao Suluan actually dared to be unbridled in her Guan Osprey Palace? If it weren't for the fact that she had been busy with Xie Siyin's matter, how could Yao Suluan possibly have been able to enjoy such good days? However, since you've taken the initiative to start something, Mowan will definitely accompany you in this game. Mowan guarantees to play with you until you're satisfied!

During dinner, Ye Junqing lifted his bowl, then after a long moment of hesitation, he set it down again. He looked towards Yao Mowan with a serious expression.

"You were the one that did that to the transcendental prince's residence?" Although Ye Junqing was already certain, he still wanted to get confirmation from Yao Mowan.

"Of course not. With how delicate Mowan is, how could Mowan do something that violent?" Yao Mowan looked towards him in a harmless manner.

"Yin Xue's really too much too. She didn't even spare the dog! Despite being behind this, you guys are tossing the blame to this prince! If it weren't for the fact that this prince's former subordinate took the initiative to protect the esteemed prince's residence, Ye Liyu definitely would've torn this prince's residence down! Are you aware that this prince's former subordinate has already resigned because of this? This prince has let him down, and you definitely owe him!" Ye Junqing didn't find it strange that Yao Mowan had sent Yin Xue to crush the transcendental prince's residence, nor did he find it surprising. With what Yao Mowan's personality was like, this already counted as a light retaliation.

In reality, with a hidden guard like Yin Xue, she could be as unbridled as she pleased. Of course, he didn't mind that Ye Liyu had pinned the blame on him. What he cared about was that former subordinate of his and the servants in his residence.

"Then do you know how Zhao Shuo found out that Ye Liyu was about to raid your residence?" asked Yao Mowan lightly as she ate a bite of fish. The outside was fried until it was crispy, but the inside was nice and tender. It was perfectly to her taste.

"How did you know it was Zhao Shuo? You were the one that notified him?" Ye Junqing looked towards Yao Mowan in sudden realization. He couldn't help but feel that this woman was too amazing. She seemed to be able to see the future. There was probably nothing in this world that she didn't know, and nothing in this world that could escape her grasp. Living under the same roof with a woman like this really damaged his self-confidence. He had always thought himself to be skilled in strategies and to have good foresight, but after meeting Yao Mowan…

"Don't worry, Zhao Shuo naturally has a good place to go. As for the people in Esteemed Prince's residence, if Ye Liyu dares to touch even their hair, I guarantee that I'll have all the hair and fur in his residence plucked clean including that of the dog's!" said Yao Mowan fiercely.

"Cough… Let's eat." Ye Junqing knew that Yao Mowan wasn't exaggerating. She has always been this formidable. However, it was going to be a tough job for Yin Xue!

Inside the imperial study, Ye Liyu was clenching his fists so hard that they cracked audibly. His eyes were bloodshot from anger as he glowered at Ye Hongyi who was sitting in front of the dragon desk.

"Imperial Older Brother! Are you going to allow Ye Junqing to bully me this way? It's not like you haven't seen what happened to my residence! He's pretty much pointing a sword at my neck!" shouted Ye Liyu.

"If you weren't our biological younger brother, there would definitely be a sword pressed against your neck right now." Ye Hongyi's voice contained cold anger. The only other person that had dared to be so unbridled in front of him was Xie Zhong, that old brute.

"If this was going to be the case, why did Imperial Older Brother transfer me back here for me to suffer like this?" Ye Liyu sensed the baleful aura coming from Ye Hongyi and his voice diminished.

"How do you know that Ye Junqing was definitely behind this? He doesn't have any reason to do this." Ye Hongyi glanced towards Ye Liyu in disagreement.

"Of course he was the one behind him! Who else dares to do that to my residence? As for the reason, it must be because I injured that maid in Guan Osprey Palace!" Ye Liyu was certain of this.

"Isn't this reasoning too far-fetched? Would Ye Junqing really make things difficult for you just on the behalf of a palace maid? And even if everyone in the imperial city dared to do that to your residence, Ye Junqing wouldn't. Or perhaps it should be said that he doesn't have any interest in doing so. He's currently no different from someone in a coma." In Ye Hongyi's opinion, just the fact that Ye Junqing had been able to stay in Guan Osprey Palace for such a long time without causing any disturbances proved this.

"Imperial Older Brother! Forgive this subject brother for being bold and saying this, but if Ye Junqing really loved Yao Moxin that much, why didn't he die with her? It's because he has transferred all his feelings for Yao Moxin to Yao Mowan! The reason he wrecked my residence was to get even for her!" Ye Liyu fearlessly voiced his opinion, but it just made Ye Hongyi look towards him with murderous intent.

"Get out!" Ye Hongyi pointed towards the door furiously. He was truly afraid that he wouldn't be able to stop himself from killing Ye Liyu, his only biological brother. The temperature in the imperial study seemed to plunge. Ye Liyu felt his hair rise on end. In this moment, he was vividly aware of the fact that Ye Hongyi was serious about wanting to kill him.

That night, when Ye Liyu told Yao Suluan what happened, Yao Suluan couldn't help but be alarmed. She never thought that Ye Hongyi would actually hate people bringing up Yao Moxin so much to the point that he wouldn't even allow his biological brother to do it.
