The poisonous woman is frivolous, please be gentle with me, Your Highness.

Chapter 389 Xi'er is not dead
The subordinate continued to look nervous.

"Master, the reason you asked us to investigate is because you never asked before, so we..."

Ye Beihao's forehead veins popped up instantly, "If I don't ask, don't you know how to speak up?"

"This..." The subordinate's expression became more and more embarrassed, "Master, didn't you say that I won't say it..."

But you... I didn't want to listen at all! But he didn't know what the master was angry about, and he was interrupted just as he was about to speak.

Ye Beihao couldn't help but think directly of that day. He did encounter some things at that time. For some unknown reason, the forces under his command were suddenly hit by a mysterious force.

He was so busy at the time that he naturally had no energy to listen to his subordinates' reports on such trivial matters.

"Since I was busy at the time, didn't you know to tell me afterwards?"

Faced with the questioning from his master, the man lowered his eyes and dared not speak.

Ye Beihao exhaled, "Tell me, what's going on?"

"It's like this... None of the people we sent out to investigate that day came back. When I sent people out to check again later, there were no signs of fighting or any smell of blood."

"We couldn't tell at the time how that team disappeared. After all, you know, Master, they are not our people..."

As a confidant, he naturally knew that this group of people were just thugs recruited by the master.

These people have no morals and no bottom line.

Maybe he just ran on the road...

While he was still daydreaming, veins popped up on Ye Beihao's brows. He stood up and kicked the man in the heart, "Waste! Idiot!"

"How could this Highness accept someone as stupid as you!"

"That group of people were definitely killed! But Bai Qianxi, that woman, she didn't die at all!"

Completely ignoring his confidant who was already lying on the ground unable to get up, he couldn't help but think of something.

Considering how much the emperor doted on Bai Qianxi, even if he fainted in public because he couldn't bear the news of her death, he shouldn't have no explanation afterwards.

The body was only kept for two days before being buried. It seemed that the funeral was very grand, but in fact, for a favored princess, it was too shabby.

It's a pity that he is too confused by his own situation.

But since the woman is not dead, where would she go?
Ye Beihao couldn't help but think of the Cheng family, and the adopted daughter who appeared out of nowhere and wanted to marry Ye Beiling directly as soon as she showed up.

During this period of time, he saw clearly that the third child in his family was never a simple person.

Would this self-funded guy willingly marry a stranger? It's unlikely.

"You, I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Go and investigate for me whether the adopted daughter of the Cheng family who suddenly appeared is Bai Qianxi!"

"Also, have the people below investigate carefully to find out who is targeting our forces! Make sure to clean up the mess!"

"Yes!"

The confidant left in pain, holding his chest. This time he must get things done properly, otherwise the master will never let him go!
Just when he made up his mind, Ye Beihao sat back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

That woman went through so much trouble to fake her death, could it be that she really wanted to marry my third brother?
But why, why did they suddenly make such a decision?
Ye Beihao had a bad feeling in his heart, and as the noise from the imperial city grew louder, everyone gradually began to believe that their Third Prince was really going to marry the adopted daughter of the Cheng family.

I heard that now, even His Majesty's imperial decree to grant marriage has come down.

At this time, many people found Ye Beiling again, including the Bai brothers, the Zhao family and Princess Yue Shu.

"Are you really going to marry her?"

"I can tell you that although I don't know who that girl is, she is innocent. If you don't really like her, then don't waste her time."

"After all, the Cheng family is not someone you can easily mess with." Ye Shu spoke earnestly. She heard that the Cheng family was particularly fond of this adopted daughter who had been raised in the countryside since childhood.

"Aunt, you can rest assured about this. I think I really like her, and I will only marry her in this life no matter what, and I will never betray her!" Ye Beiling's expression was firm, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with him to the naked eye.

But Ye Shu still found it a little unconvincing. Didn’t she know what kind of personality her nephew had?
She almost thought that he would never get married in this life, but she didn't expect that there was someone like Xier in this world who could enter his heart.

It could just be Xier.

If it were anyone else, Ye Shu wouldn’t believe they would have such good luck.

It's a pity that Xi'er is such a good person...

Thinking of the person who died young, Ye Shu couldn't help but feel a bit sad in her eyes.

Seeing his aunt's expression, Ye Beiling felt helpless. Why didn't such a smart aunt think of this until now...

Forget it.

"Aunt, haven't you really thought about it yet?" As Ye Beiling began to explain, Ye Shu finally realized that she had been overthinking.

"So you didn't even inform me of such a big thing, and made me sad for so long." There was a hint of danger in Ye Shu's eyes.

Facing her threatening look, Ye Beiling felt a little embarrassed.

"It's not that I didn't inform you on purpose, it's just that I didn't think of it at the moment..."

"Okay, you don't have to explain. I think you just forgot about us after you got married. You made me worry about you for so long."

"Since you can handle everything by yourself, there's a high probability that I won't need to help you next time."

"Hey wait, auntie, your nephew still wants you... It's not because of the Dongli custom during this period that Xier and I cannot meet before the wedding, to avoid bad luck at that time."

"So can I trouble you to help my nephew look after Xi'er?"

"Don't you want me to get involved? But since you are so sincere, I can help you." Ye Shu raised her eyebrows, and finally spoke with mercy in the other party's uneasy look.

"But if you don't tell me next time this happens, I really won't help you."

“Don’t worry, auntie. There definitely won’t be a next time!” Ye Beiling hastily assured him. He didn’t feel that the way he was doing now was inconsistent with his personality at all.

As long as it's for Xier, he's willing to do anything!
As for the brothers of the Zhao and Bai families, they finally received the news one after another in the past few days.

Knowing that Xi'er was fine, everyone had a genuine smile on their face, and no one blamed Bai Qianxi for not notifying them in advance.

After all, in this situation, it is best for Xier that they know nothing!
