C263 (1/2)

The carriage was silent. The bustling noise from the street entered the quiet carriage, making the place seem even stranger and quieter. Ning Yunxiao sat in the middle of the carriage, his expression calm and composed.

Ning Yunyin's gaze was clearly soft and gentle as it landed on Ye Jinsu's body, but it somehow made Ye Jinsu feel guilty.

”Tell me, what happened?” Ning Yunzhi softly spoke, breaking the silence.

Ye Jinxiu let out a hollow laugh and hesitated for a moment to think of a way to start the conversation.

”After all the high-profile things you've done, didn't you notice that I've been thoroughly targeted by those people? First it's esteemed imperial concubine, then it's your royal father, and now it's this Qi King. ” Ye Jinsu spoke with a serious face.

”I think I'm in a very dangerous situation.”

Ning Yunyin slightly frowned. He was the one who caused all this, so he couldn't shirk his responsibility.

”So you might as well expose yourself a little more?” Ning Yunyin frowned as she looked at Ye Jinsu, her tone unconsciously heavy. He tried hard to hide her, but she jumped out on her own accord.

”The problem is, even if I don't do anything, they'll come looking for me.” Ye Jinsu sighed and said. Today, she was forced to stay even though she had just stepped out of the door. Yu Yao'er was also hinting at their relationship.

It was obvious that someone had their eyes on him.

”So you might as well do it thoroughly, and direct all the blame onto yourself?” Ning Yunyin asked again. Her voice was clear and cold, as if she was trying hard to suppress something. Her attitude was vastly different from before.

In front of Ning Yunqi, Ye Jinxiu was acting the part of a preposterous prince. It was as if she was making Ning Yunqi think that she was holding her own. If Ning Yunqi wanted to deal with him, all he needed to do was find her and break through.

Ning Yunyin couldn't hold back her anger. She rushed to get someone's attention. ”Do you know what you're doing?

”Of course I know!” Ye Jinsu answered without hesitation, ”Whether I do it or not, the blame will always be on me, right? Now I have only taken the initiative, I have become the man in the shadows. ”

If she had guessed correctly, this Ning Yunqi would come looking for him in no time.

”You have no idea how dangerous it is!”

”I only know that sitting still is more dangerous.” Ye Jinsu bit her lips and spoke with an expressionless face.

Ning Yunyin's tightly clenched fists loosened. The anger in her eyes turned complicated, surging with emotions that Ye Jinsu had never seen before. Ye Jinsu suddenly dodged his gaze in panic and tilted her head to the side.

”You don't have to.” Ning Yun's hoarse voice sounded.

He wasn't stupid. There was no need for Ye Jinsu to do this to him. As long as she stayed as the young mistress of the Ye family and didn't have to contact him too much, she wouldn't be in any danger. However, she had chosen the most desperate path.

The biggest beneficiary of all was himself.

As the carriage jolted, Ye Jinxiu bit her lips, her gaze becoming increasingly afraid to look Ning Yunxiao in the eye.

The coachman stopped and spoke outside, ”Prince, we have arrived at the Ye Residence.”

As if he had received an amnesty, Ye Jinsu quickly got up and lifted the curtain, but was grabbed and stopped. ”You …”

Before Ning Yunyin could finish her sentence, Ye Jinxiu had already thrown her hand away. Ye Jinsu pretended to be cold and said, ”I owe you this.”

After saying that, Ye Jinsu left the carriage as if she was escaping.

Ning Yunyin, who was still holding out her hand, clenched her fist and punched the carriage hard until her knuckles turned white.

Ye Jinsu stood in front of the steps and watched as the coachman drove the carriage away, disappearing from her sight. Ye Jinsu silently entered the mansion as a thin layer of frost covered her face. She couldn't lie to herself. She was doing this for Ning Yunxiao.
