Female supremacy: The evil woman only wants to ascend the throne

Wan Qingyan stepped into the gate of the Ye family's magnificent mansion. Her face did not show any surprise, as if what she saw was already commonplace.

However, if you look closely, you will find that her smart eyes are like two lightning bolts, constantly scanning every corner of the house, as if she wants to deeply imprint all the layouts here in her mind!

At this moment, Wan Qingyan secretly groaned in her heart. The Ye family's mansion was really huge beyond her imagination. If she didn't explore it before taking action, she would not be able to see Ye Yuanan just relying on the system's positioning. She had to know how many people were arranged to serve him where he lived.

"Fifth Prince, please come this way. Since I don't know what kind of tea you prefer, I have taken the liberty of preparing Pu'er tea for you. I hope Your Highness enjoys it."

Lord Ye led Wan Qingyan to the reception room. As soon as the two sat down, a well-behaved and smart maid came forward, holding a tray steadily in her hand with two cups of steaming hot tea on it.

Wan Qingyan smiled and nodded to the maid, then reached out to take one of the cups of Pu'er tea. She blew away the tea leaves floating on the surface, took a small sip, and then gently placed the cup back on the table.

Although this cup of Pu'er tea has a mellow taste and a fragrant aroma, Wan Qingyan has no intention of savoring it carefully at this moment. Her mind is all on how to find a suitable excuse to learn more about the internal structure and layout of this huge mansion. After all, time is tight and the task is heavy!

"I wonder what brings you here, Your Highness the Fifth Prince?"

Time passed minute by minute, and Lord Ye finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He moved his butt a few times on the chair, and a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes that was hard to conceal.

After all, it was really a torture for her to sit there with Wan Qingyan in silence and drink tea. She urgently wanted to find out what the purpose of Wan Qingyan's sudden visit was!

After a long while, seeing that Wan Qingyan still had no intention of speaking, Lord Ye became more and more anxious!

At this moment, Wan Qingyan gently put down the teacup in his hand, slowly raised his head, looked at Lord Ye calmly, and said softly: "Lord Ye, I came here this time just to ask you some questions about the Ministry of Revenue."

Wan Qingyan knew very well that it would be difficult for him to find any useful clues from Lady Ye, but since he was already here, he had to find a topic to talk to her, and the matter of the Ministry of Revenue was a good excuse!

However, when Lady Ye heard the word "Ministry of Revenue", she felt as if she was facing a great enemy, and her nerves immediately tensed up. She stood up suddenly, clasped her hands together and bowed deeply to Wan Qingyan, and said earnestly and firmly: "Your Highness the Fifth Prince, please understand!

My relationship with the Ministry of Revenue is completely clean, and there is absolutely no corruption involved. If Your Highness has any suspicions, you can send someone to investigate. I will fully cooperate and will not dare to conceal or resist in the slightest!"

At this moment, Lord Ye's face was full of an upright expression, as if he wanted to use this expression to prove his innocence!

"Master Ye, why are you so excited? I don't doubt you at all. I'm just asking questions. Just tell me everything you know!"

Wan Qingyan narrowed her eyes and stared quietly at the emotionally excited Lord Ye in front of her. She took a deep breath and patiently said a few words of comfort. After that, she smiled at Lord Ye, trying to ease his tense nerves.

Lord Ye's heartstrings, which had relaxed slightly due to Wan Qingyan's words, instantly tensed up again when he saw her half-smile.

For some reason, she always felt that there seemed to be some unknown deep meaning hidden in Wan Qingyan's smile, which made people feel cold!

"Fifth Prince, if you have anything to ask me, please ask me. I will tell you everything I know!"

Lady Ye barely suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, sighed softly without changing her expression, and tried her best to force a stiff smile at the corner of her mouth. At this moment, the only thing she wanted in her heart was that Wan Qingyan could end the interrogation as soon as possible so that she could get rid of this suffocating atmosphere.

However, Wan Qingyan seemed unaware of Lord Ye's thoughts and said leisurely, "Lord Ye, this matter is not urgent. I've been sitting in this chair for so long that my body is a little sore. Ah, seeing your Ye Mansion with its exquisite layout and pleasant scenery, I am really happy. How about we take a stroll and enjoy the beautiful scenery while chatting?"

Although Wan Qingyan's tone sounded gentle and polite, the firmness contained in it was obvious, and he did not allow Lord Ye any room to refuse!

"Your Highness, you are absolutely right. Please come this way!"

Lady Ye said this with a smile on her face, but she felt helpless in her heart. She had already understood Wan Qingyu's intention, but no matter how reluctant she was, she could only agree to it at this moment. After all, what Wan Qingyu asked for was not excessive!

However, what surprised Lord Ye was that Wan Qingyan did not move forward in the direction he pointed, but turned and walked in the completely opposite direction.

"Your Highness, this way please."

Seeing this scene, Lord Ye's heart instantly rose to his throat, because at the end of that direction lived Ye Yuanan.

Wan Qingyan stopped and turned to look at Lord Ye who was blocking his way. He showed an unhappy look on his face and asked loudly, "Lord Ye, I want to go this way. Is it not possible?"

Her eyes were as sharp as swords, staring straight at Lord Ye, as if she wanted to see through him. From Lord Ye's nervous reaction, Wan Qingyan had already guessed that this direction must be where Ye Yuanan was!

Facing Wan Qingyan's questioning, Lady Ye couldn't help but sweat on her forehead, but she quickly calmed herself down, took a deep breath, and replied respectfully: "Your Highness, to be honest, this direction leads to where the men live. I'm afraid it will be inconvenient for you to go there. I hope Your Highness can understand my difficulties and please come this way!"

After saying that, Lord Ye stretched out his hand again to signal Wan Qingyan to change his route!

"Master Ye, what you said makes sense. I was abrupt."

After Wan Qingyan heard that Lord Ye had made his point clear, she stopped being tough. After all, as a woman, it was indeed not convenient for her to go to the man's residence.

So, she softened her attitude and walked in the direction Lord Ye pointed. After all, she already knew where Ye Yuanan was. The next step was to find out where he lived and the staff who served him. Otherwise, she still couldn't meet him secretly.
