Chapter 488 Another Drama

"Here!" She raised her hand high. "I'm here!"

"You are not welcome in the Princess's Mansion. Get out!"

"I won't!" Ye Wenyan raised her chin, "Why should I come if you tell me to, and why should I leave if you tell me to? I am the fourth young lady of the first-rank general's mansion, why should I listen to you!"

"I am the eldest princess! As a subject, you must listen to me!"

"Then just say 'this palace' to me!" Ye Wenyan was really fed up with Quan Qianluo. "You eat and use Northern Qi's things all day long, and always use your status as the eldest princess of Northern Qi to suppress the officials and their wives of Northern Qi, but in fact you are obsessed with the former Qiuhu. Since you are the Queen of Qiuhu, you have no right for me to listen to you, let alone talk to me like this!" Ye Wenyan rolled her eyes fiercely, "Don't always say that you are marrying for the people of Northern Qi. My father and grandfather also sacrificed their lives for the people of Northern Qi. My grandfather was already on the battlefield recruiting soldiers before you were born. Everyone has contributed to the country. You are a marriage, and they are their lives. Who is nobler than who?"

She took a deep breath, but felt that the air in the banquet hall was becoming increasingly dirty and turbid.

Looking at Li Yanran again, a cold look appeared on his face, "Your foot has just healed and you're causing trouble again. I think you're tired of living."

Li Yanran stood up in anger and wanted to say something, but her heart trembled uncontrollably. Even Ye Wushuang, who was sitting next to her, lowered his head and silently prayed in his heart that Ye Wenyan would not take her with him.

Fortunately, Ye Wenyan didn't pay any attention to her. He just stood up and said to Li Yanran, "Too much blood has been seen today. I don't want to bother with you guys anymore, so you'd better not do anything weird to me, otherwise I don't mind peeling off a few more pieces of skin."

She turned and walked towards the door, taking Zhuier with her to go out for some fresh air. Who would have thought that when she passed by Li Yanran, she would hear Li Yanran say, "Look, Fourth Miss Ye is so rude and unreasonable, always wanting to fight and kill, I..."

Snapped!

Ye Wenyan slapped Li Yanran in the face - "Did I ask you to speak?"

Li Yanran was completely devastated. This was... not even allowed to speak? She had to get Ye Wenyan's permission before she could speak? This was too aggrieved. She was the glorious daughter of the Li family, Li Yanran. Why did she suddenly end up like this after confronting Ye Wenyan?

Seeing that Ye Wenyan had already walked out of the banquet hall and was wandering off somewhere, she wanted to say something to express her grievances and to save some face for herself. But before she could open her mouth, she heard Jiang Wanting say -

"Li Yanran, I advise you to sit back down and shut up. Don't cause trouble for yourself or the princess. Everyone was watching the dance, and even if the princess was embarrassed today, it was all over. Afterwards, everyone was basically at peace. But you did this and said that. What did you want? Not only did you get beaten, but you also caused the princess to get scolded again. What grudge do you have against the princess that you want to hurt her like this?"

"Jiang Wanting, you... you are talking nonsense!" Li Yanran was anxious. She wanted to say that she couldn't handle Ye Wenyan, but she was not afraid of you, Jiang Wanting. She used to pretend to be virtuous and never spoke loudly when she went out. But now she is like this, she has been in jail, her feet are broken, and there is no way she can have a good future. So there is no need to pretend anymore. Jiang Wanting made a sarcastic accusation against her, and she could also slap the little bitch to death like Ye Wenyan.

So she walked forward and raised her hand to hit him. But as soon as she raised her hand, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and then her whole arm dropped down, no longer under her control, and she couldn't even lift it up.

Jiang Wanting was also frightened by her posture. It was not because she was afraid that she would hit her, but because she saw a flash of silver light at that moment, as if something had penetrated into Li Yanran's wrist.

She looked across at the men's seats and heard the Sixth Prince say, "Yanran, you hit Miss Ye Si's friend right after she left. Isn't that too much?"

"Cousin!" Li Yanran held her injured hand and looked at the Sixth Prince with a look of disbelief. "You hurt me? Why? I'm your cousin! Even if you didn't help me, you shouldn't hurt me!"

Quan Qingyin glanced at her, his eyes revealing an indescribable indifference and alienation.

"Because you are my cousin, I have to control you and prevent you from making a big mistake and becoming a joke in the entire Lin'an City!" Quan Qingyin snorted softly, "Li Yanran, the one you want to beat is the daughter of the Jiang family, the eldest daughter of the Minister of Justice, and a legitimate official's wife. Your Li family is just an imperial merchant, and no one in the family is an official in the court. You, a commoner girl, beat up a minister, which is a serious crime."

Jiang Wanting was surprised that the Sixth Prince could speak for her. She still remembered that she and Ye Wenyan had smashed the Prince Su's Mansion. Shouldn't the Sixth Prince hate her to death? Why did he turn around and help her again? What was wrong with him?

Not only Jiang Wanting thought so, everyone thought so, even the eldest princess cast an inquiring look over.

But no one could see the strangeness in it, except the Fourth Prince Quan Qinghua, who narrowed his eyes slightly and raised the corner of his lips imperceptibly.

Outside the banquet hall, Ye Wenyan and Zhuier were walking on the path. It was April now, the trees were green, the leaves had grown, and the flowers were blooming. The Princess's Mansion had many candles lit, and even at night it could illuminate the beautiful scenery of the mansion.

It is said that guests should not walk around the mansion at will, but Ye Wenyan wanted to leave, and the servants of the princess' mansion did not dare to stop him. Even Quan Qianluo did not say anything. She just thought that no matter where Ye Wenyan went, it would be best if he stayed away from her so that she would not see him again. Anyway, there was nothing in her mansion, and things that should be hidden would not be exposed, so Ye Wenyan would not go through every room.

She didn't want to care about just taking a walk in the garden, and she thought Ye Wenyan should walk more often so that there would be surprises.

So Ye Wenyan walked smoothly, all the way from the banquet hall to the garden. When she stopped, she heard someone chasing her quickly. She turned around and saw that it was the Third Prince Quan Qingyun. "What's wrong?" She was stunned and could vaguely see beads of sweat oozing from Quan Qingyun's forehead, and she couldn't help but frown.

Quan Qingyun didn't keep the secret and said directly, "I feel nervous and feel like something is going to happen. I want to leave here first to see the flying boat. Miss, is it okay for you to stay here alone? Or come with me?"

"See my second brother?" Ye Wenyan was a little confused. "What happened?"

Quan Qingyun shook his head, "I don't know, but no matter what, I'll go back and take a look. It's not good for the Fourth Miss to go with me, but I'm worried about leaving you here. How about I go first, and then the Fourth Miss can find a reason to leave the house?"

Ye Wenyan nodded, "Okay, you go first! My second brother should be at home at this time! If he's not at home, go to the clinic, there are only these two places, or you can ask Chu Lian if she has seen him."

"Okay, I'll go then." Quan Qingyun said nothing, turned around and left quickly. Zhuier was confused, "What's wrong with the Third Prince? Does he mean that something bad will happen to the Second Young Master? But what can happen to the Second Young Master? He is just staying at home..." He stopped talking here, because he remembered that the Second Young Master used to stay at home, but every time he was seriously injured, it was because of his family beating him. "Could it be that the Second Master beat him again?"

Ye Wenyan shook her head, "No. He is no longer a member of the Second House. My mother will not sit idly by if the Second House makes a move again. I hope the Third Prince's intuition is wrong!" She looked ahead. There was a landscape lake in the middle of the garden. It was not as big as the artificial lake in the General's Mansion, but it could accommodate a boat. "Let's go back and tell the Jiang and Chi families. I have to leave first too."

Zhuier nodded and immediately turned around with her, but before either of them could take a step, they heard a "splash" coming from the lake.

Ye Wenyan was startled and immediately turned around to look. Soon he saw a person struggling in the lake, sometimes appearing and sometimes sinking.

Zhuier also saw it and shouted in surprise: "It's a child!" Ye Wenyan ran to the lake without saying a word, and Zhuier followed closely behind, saying as she ran: "Miss, this is strange, how could a place like the princess's mansion not have a guard by the lake? How could such a young child be allowed to play by the lake alone? There should be servants around him! Miss, let's not fall into someone's trap."

How could Ye Wenyan not know what Zhuier could analyze? But that was a child. Even if she knew something was wrong, she couldn't just watch a child drown. No matter who wanted to do something, they had to rescue the child first.

The two soon reached the lake. The child had been washed to the middle of the lake and began to sink. His two little hands were stretched straight upwards, as if waiting for someone to rescue him. Unfortunately, no one rescued him. The scenic lake was quiet and peaceful. There were no people or ghosts around.

"I will go into the water to save people." Zhuier was about to take off her shoes, but Ye Wenyan stretched out her hand to stop her, "No need."

The child had floated to the middle, and in just a moment, the two little hands were almost invisible. If Zhuier swam over, the child would definitely sink to the bottom. They didn't have that much time, and she didn't want Zhuier to get her skirt wet and look miserable.

So Ye Wenyan raised one hand and stretched it forward, heading straight for the direction where the child was drowning. He crushed a flower gently in the night, and with his spiritual power, he cast a water-avoiding spell.

The child at the bottom of the lake had a belly full of water and was about to suffocate, but suddenly he felt the space around him become wider. He was no longer squeezed by the lake water, and the water no longer rushed into his mouth and nose. The feeling of drowning disappeared instantly, and he could even breathe normal air.

The child was so happy that he thought he was rescued and was about to cry. But the next moment he realized something was wrong. This was not the shore. He could not see any trees or stars. It was still dark all around, and the sound of the lake was still in his ears.

He was still under the water, but there seemed to be a transparent cover covering him, separating him from the lake water.

What exactly is going on?

At the same time, on the shore, another show is about to begin...
