The servants of the Yan family came trembling with fear and reported that Mrs. Yan and her two daughters-in-law were so angry that their faces were distorted.

Minister Yan said, "Let him go. Spend some money to get rid of the plague god in the West Corner Courtyard. Then our Yan Mansion will have no worries in the future!"

The eldest son, Yan Dongli, nodded and said, "Father is right. We should sacrifice a little wealth to protect the whole world."

"Those are not small fortunes," Mrs. Yan's voice trembled with distress. Do you know how expensive that hundred-year-old peony is? And the fish, more than a hundred taels of silver each; the blue and white porcelain vase is several thousand taels of silver each..."

"That's enough! You shouldn't say anything now!" Minister Yan raised his head and glared at Madam Yan.

Madam Yan secretly cursed Prince Yi as a madman in her heart.

The west corner courtyard of Yan Mansion.

Qi Leyang and Chujiu had already packed their bags and were standing at the gate, waiting for someone to come with eager eyes.

Earlier, the little sparrow had sent her another letter, saying that the two children had been rescued and sent to Prince Yi's mansion. Later, Prince Yi would take her away from the Yan's mansion and make a complete break with the Yan family.

After seeing the letter, Qi Leyang trembled all over, and immediately told Chujiu incoherently to pack up quickly, and they could leave the cage immediately.

Chujiu was full of confusion. How did the master know that someone was coming to pick them up?

Chujiu suspected that his master had gone insane because he was too worried about the two young masters.

But when the eldest princess saw that she didn't move, she started to pack up the important things herself, and Chujiu then started to help.

The two of them packed their two bags early, and then the eldest princess stood at the gate of the courtyard, staring at it with burning eyes, as if there was a lot of hope behind the door.

What shocked Chujiu was that the eunuch Sihe beside Prince Yi actually came to pick them up with two followers!

Chujiu looked at the eldest princess in shock.

She had been accompanying the eldest princess in the yard all the time, and no one had ever communicated with the eldest princess. Why was the eldest princess able to predict things so well?

Sihe looked at the princess and said respectfully, "Princess, the prince has asked me to take you back to the palace!"

The eldest princess excitedly stepped forward, grabbed Sihe's hand, and asked in a low voice with tears in her eyes: "Eunuch Sihe, my...my child?"

Sihe nodded at her with a smile and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, we are in Prince Yi's mansion."

Qi Leyang breathed a sigh of relief, his thin cheeks glowed with long-lost vitality, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

Sihe took her and Chujiu back to the reception hall of Yan's mansion.

When the two sides met, there was a moment of awkwardness.

Qi Leyang had a calm expression and indifferent eyes, and he didn't even look at the Yan family.

Although the Yan family was happy that they had finally gotten rid of this plague goddess, they controlled their expressions very well, making it look like Prince Yi was forcing them to write letters of divorce and severance of engagement.

When Prince Yi saw Qi Leyang was so thin that he looked unrecognizable, with white hair at the age of 19, he became furious again. He looked at Prime Minister Yan and said sternly, "Master Yan, you must deliver all of Leyang's dowry to my residence within three days. If you miss even one needle, I will never give up!"

When talking about Qi Leyang's dowry, Madam Yan and her two daughters-in-law all looked unhappy.

When the eldest princess married into the Yan family with a generous dowry, they did not dare to touch the dowry at all before the deposed crown prince got into trouble. However, after the deposed crown prince got into trouble, they became greedy. After the New Year, knowing that Prime Minister Yan was going to abandon Qi Leyang, they simply seized all of her dowry.

Yan Xiang was also reluctant to part with the dowry, but the situation was such that he had to make a decision, so he immediately responded respectfully, "Yes, I will deliver it on time."

"Leyang, follow the little uncle and get out of this cesspool!" Prince Yi glared at the Yan family viciously.

Qi Leyang nodded obediently, "Yes, little uncle."

After Prince Yi took Qi Leyang away, the Yan family all breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Dongli's wife Yang looked very pleased: "Oh, we finally got rid of that plague god. Our Yan family will never be implicated by her again."

"What my sister-in-law said is right," Yan family's second daughter-in-law, Mrs. Lu, agreed with a smile on her face, but she spat at Mrs. Yang in her heart.

Before the deposed crown prince and the Wei family got into trouble, she, as the eldest sister-in-law, was the one who flattered the eldest princess the most and wanted to lick her ass. But now that she is in trouble, she has become a dog.

Yan Xiang glanced coldly at his two daughters-in-law and said sternly, "Some things are better left unsaid in your heart! This matter is over now, and no one can gossip about it outside!"

"Yes," the two daughters-in-law immediately responded respectfully.

The second son of the Yan family, Yan Boyu, sighed slightly, "I'm afraid that if my third brother knew how we treated the princess and the two children, would he -"

Yan Boyu didn't finish his words, but everyone knew what he meant.

Madam Yan smiled comfortably: "Nan Bai is still not awake. When he suddenly figures it out one day, he will thank us for helping him get rid of such a big tumor."

"Mom is right. Third brother was just bewitched by that woman for a while. In a few years, third brother will definitely be thankful that mom and dad sent him to southern Xinjiang," Yan Yudie said with her chin raised.

Yang rolled her eyes and smiled warmly, "So, in a few days, we can find a girl for your third brother. My uncle's cousin has been in love with your third brother for a long time."

"Don't worry about it, this matter has to be handled by mother," Yan Dongli glared at Yang.

Yang smiled awkwardly, "My husband is right."

Prince Yi brought Qi Leyang and Chujiu back to the Prince's Mansion.

As soon as he entered the inner courtyard, Qi Leyang called out "Little Uncle" in a trembling voice.

Prince Yi paused and turned to look at her.

Qi Leyang knelt down in front of Prince Yi with a plop, tears streaming down his face: "Thank you, little uncle, for sending people to secretly protect me over the past two years! Thank you, little uncle, for lending a helping hand when Leyang was at his lowest point and in the most difficult time, and for giving Leyang a place to stay! Thank you, little uncle, for saving Leyang's two children!"

Seeing Qi Leyang kneeling before him so humbly and flatteringly, Prince Yi was reminded of the beautiful little princess who used to be dressed in gorgeous clothes and as pretty as the bright moon. It was incredible that such a lively and proud girl had become so haggard, withered and humble now.

Is this the sorrow of being born into a royal family?

Prince Yi's eyes turned red.

The dim light from the lantern in the night effectively concealed the sadness on his face.

He took a deep breath, bent down and helped Qi Leyang up, pretending to be relaxed and said: "My two secret guards are stupid. They think that as long as your life is not in danger, they don't have to show up. So, the person who saved your child was not me, but the Princess of Qinghe County. The Princess of Qinghe County is waiting for you in the inner hall, go in quickly."

Qi Leyang's tearful eyes flashed with a brief moment of confusion and surprise.

It turned out that it was Princess Qinghe who saved her child, but why did Princess Qinghe help her?

"Go quickly, Shaorun and Shaoze are waiting for you," Prince Yi urged.

Qi Leyang got up in a hurry and ran to the inner hall.
