o go there, make sure to eat your fill. 。The original owner hadn't really eaten much seafood, mostly just fish and shrimp. They were brought back by someone when the old general was still alive. 。Bac...Facing the officer's inquiry, Ye Fei Zhou had already prepared a response. He said, "My younger sister is not at ease about the city outside. She heard that the craftsmen are working day and night, so she always wants to come out and have a look. But she is just a girl, it's inconvenient for her to go in and out in the middle of the night, so I am doing it on her behalf. You do your rounds, don't worry about me, I'll just wander around."

There's no flaw in this statement. The officials didn't doubt it at all and each said, "Ye Er Shao, you've worked hard."

Thus, Ye Fei rode a carriage slowly around the outer city until the sky was just beginning to lighten. When the city gates finally opened, he left Lin'an along with the people entering and exiting the city.

After the carriage left the city, it picked up speed, but it wasn't particularly fast. This was because a pregnant woman was inside. Night Flying Boat had never taken care of a pregnant woman before. He only heard that pregnant women couldn't handle bumps and jostles, and everything had to be done with extra care. So even if he was in a hurry, he didn't dare to rush the carriage too quickly, for fear that the road bumps would affect the fetus in her womb.

Thus, after more than an hour, they finally stopped in front of a manor.

This manor is located on the east outskirts of Lin'an. The house covers a hundred acres, and there are another two hundred acres of fertile land. It was a gift from the Third Prince to him the year he returned after studying martial arts at Night Flying Boat. But he had never lived here, and rarely even came this way.

Zhuangzi always had servants taking care of him, and in springtime people would come to farm. Two hundred mu of good farmland yielded abundant harvests every year. The harvested grain was milled into fine rice and sold at the rice mill. The income went into Ye Fei's name, but he never paid attention to it, nor did he consider that silver as his own.

This incident happened suddenly, and it's definitely not safe for this person to stay in the city. After much deliberation, he chose this manor house. After all, few people know that this manor house belongs to him, which is perfect for concealing his whereabouts.

Besides, since the Renwang Mansion always had two guards stationed here to attend to their master's needs at any time, this place became even safer.

When he arrived, the guards immediately appeared, ready to ask Ye Fei Zhou why he wasn't riding a horse but instead came in such a cumbersome carriage.

Yet, the night flyer ignored them completely. He simply turned around and helped a woman out of the carriage.

This woman was very young, looking only sixteen or seventeen. She was exceptionally beautiful with a pair of bright, lively eyes that darted back and forth nervously. Her gaze held both fear and sincerity.

Two guards' hearts sank at that moment. They looked at each other, both seeing deep unease in each other's eyes.

How could Ye Er Shao bring a woman back And from the looks of it, this woman seems to be pregnant. Although she is dressed warmly for winter, her figure doesn't give it away easily, but she keeps her hand on her belly and every move she makes shows great care. Even a fool could tell.

Just as she was getting out of the carriage, the woman said to Ye Fei Zhou, "Young Master, please carry me down. I'm a little afraid."

Ye Fei Zhou hesitated for a moment, but still reached out and horizontally hugged the person. Afterward, he didn't immediately let go, just holding her all the way into the courtyard.

The bodyguard greeted the people, having them secure the carriage, and then followed behind on either side. One of them asked, "Excuse me, Second Master, who is this person Are they staying at the manor"

Ye Fei Zhou nodded, “Yes.”

Another person asked, "Is this lady pregnant"

Ye Fei Zhou nodded again, still saying: “Yes.”

The two guards became increasingly nervous, their speech faltering. “Second, Second Young Master, who is she The child is... whose”

Ye Fei Zhou didn't answer, he just gently lifted the person in his arms and walked to a sleeping chamber. He entered the room and carefully placed the person on the bed. Then, he instructed the two guards: "Take good care of her until she gives birth safely. Make sure both mother and child are safe during this time."

The guards were about to cry, "Second Young Master Xin Ye, please don't lead us astray! Could this be the woman you raised outside Now that she's big with child and sent to the estate to give birth, it sounds fine on the surface. But what if Third Prince finds out How will we explain ourselves then Third Prince, you gave Second Young Master Xin Ye this estate, but now a woman has taken over, and she's carrying his child! What if Third Prince finds out He'll probably burn down the entire estate!"

Then one of them, mustering his courage, said to him, "Second Young Master, think carefully about this!"

Ye Fei Zhou didn't understand, "What was I thinking about" He looked at the woman again, "Her If it were her, there wouldn't be anything to think about."

"Second Young Master," the guard panicked, "If Your Highness asks about this, what should I say"

He finally understood what the two of them were thinking. He wanted to explain, but he didn't want to reveal Ye Hongzhuang's affair. Besides, he still had to get that piece of evidence. He wasn't planning on telling Quan Qingyun about this matter anyway.

Besides, why should he explain There were so many women in the back garden of the Prince's Residence; who had he ever explained himself to before

Young Master Ye's awkwardness was back again. He retorted to the two guards, "If I ask you about his inner household matters, how would you answer If you can get to the bottom of it today, then I will tell you all about her."

The guards bowed their heads and dared not ask any more questions.

It makes sense, after all. With so many concubines and maids in the Prince Ren's mansion, it's already impossible to clarify things. What right do they have to demand that Second Young Master Ye remain chaste In the end, neither side is innocent. They can't blame each other.

Seeing the two of them no longer speaking, Ye Fei Zhou also didn't want to stay any longer. He just reminded them one last time to take good care of themselves and ensure a safe and smooth delivery, then turned around and was about to leave.

Who knew that the woman on the bed would suddenly grab his sleeve, pulling his arm right in front of her.

“Don’t leave, what will I do if you leave Where is this place Why did you bring me here I’m scared, Master, please stay with me. Look, they are all men. Who will take care of me if you leave”

She leaned against Night Flying Boat's back while talking, and Night Flying Boat felt a sudden nausea. He instinctively pushed the person away, but he used too much force, causing her to crash into the wall. He quickly rushed over to help her up, nervously asking, "Are you okay Did you get hurt Does your stomach hurt"

The woman grabbed his sleeve and cried, her sobs echoing through the air. The two guards couldn't bear to look, so they turned away in shame.

Ye Fei Zhou was also getting fed up, if it wasn't for the need to get proof of Ye Hongzhuang, he wouldn't even want to look at this kind of woman.

Finally freeing his hand, Ye Fei Zhou tore a string of beads from the woman's neck and turned to hurry out the door.

Two guards immediately followed. As he walked, he ordered, "Find a midwife to attend to her. Neither the mistress nor the midwives who come to serve her are allowed to leave this estate half a step." Then, he changed his words, "I mean, they are not allowed to leave this courtyard half a step. Also, notify everyone in the manor that they must keep their mouths shut and no one is allowed to reveal even a word outside, understand"

The dark guard immediately obeyed, but still asked, "What about the Third Prince Is it possible"

"Ye Fei Zhou let out a cold snort, “If I can't, will you listen to me”

The Dark Guard fell silent.

Although the master should treat Second Young Master's words as his own, when Second Young Master conflicts with the master, they are after all the Dark Guards of Prince Ren's Mansion, and naturally know their place.

Night Fei's footsteps quickened, he walked without looking back, and far away shouted: "Don't follow me."

The guard stopped, watching as Ye Fei Zhou walked away. He left the gate, got into a carriage, and only then returned to the woman's room.

The woman was still sitting on the bed. Seeing the two of them return, she immediately shrank back and said, "Don't come over, and don't look at me like that. Don't do anything to hurt me, or Ye Er Shao won't let you go!"

She didn't actually know Ye Fei Zhou, nor did she know which family the "Ye Er Shao" referred to. She only heard the officials calling him that way when she was in the city, so she remembered it. Using this to scare these two right now was quite effective.

The guards, hearing her speak like this, all furrowed their brows and looked at the woman with increasingly hostile eyes.

They were so eager to kill her, because if they didn't, she would eventually be killed by the Third Prince anyway. Since death was inevitable, why bother making the Third Prince do it

Thinking this way, both of them took two steps forward.

The woman panicked, “What are you doing Haven't you forgotten what Young Master Er said before he left He told you to take good care of me and ensure I give birth safely!”

The guards stood their ground, one of them asking her, "Whose child is this"

The woman's eyes rolled. "And you"

"Night Second Young Master"

"If he didn't want me, why would he go to such lengths to send me here Sir, it's not safe in the city. I'm afraid someone might harm me, so he had to send me somewhere farther away. It's just that this place is a bit too far, and I'm scared. Please, keep your distance from me."

Two guards didn't know what to do about the woman. They were just servants; they had no right to interfere with what their master wanted.

But this matter must be reported to the Third Highness, it's their responsibility after all.

On the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Ye Wen again failed to wake up early.

When she returned, it was almost dawn. Shi Lifen stayed in her room for a while, coaxing her to sleep before leaving.

In the early morning hours, when drowsiness is at its peak, all the servants in the yard were considerate enough to tread lightly. They would only speak to each other if absolutely necessary and would avoid going into her room to disturb her.

As for the old lady, her morning and evening visits were truly disregarded. Don't look at Second Madam being so proper, but if Fourth Sister didn't take the initiative, they definitely wouldn't rush to touch Fourth Sister's bad luck. After all, everyone wants peace and quiet. With Fourth Sister not going, both the Second Household and the old lady could breathe a sigh of relief!

Ye Wuyan slept until half past noon, and finally someone gently pushed open her door. Then she heard soft footsteps walking to the bedside, followed by Xiangdong's voice: "Sister, wake up! The Anfu County Office sent an officer, Lord Prefect invites you to take a stroll in the streets." denunciation. 。Fan Ping showed Jiang Xiu: "Back then, it was you who took the initiative to seduce me, ruining my promising future and leaving me in this state today." 。If it weren't for that inciden...
