Chapter 1921: Chapter 1921

"Where is Prince Le? I demand to see Prince Le!" Yang Chuxia scoffed, "I want to ask him why he won’t let us out!"

At this moment, Lele walked out and said, "Even if my Ye Family has committed a crime and cannot leave the mansion, they are merely relatives staying at my house. They don’t bear the Ye surname, so there’s no reason why they can’t leave!" Dıscover more novels at novel~fire~net

The leading officer heard this but still wouldn’t budge, "No way, in Prince An’s Mansion, people only enter but cannot leave!"

"What gives you the right, what reason do you have to keep us from leaving? Is there any justice in this?" At the signal, Ms. Qian of Wang Family immediately leapt forward, somehow mustering the courage to rush at the leader, "We’re not from the Ye Family, why can’t we leave? My surname is Qian; what connection do I have with the Ye Family? Are you reasonable at all, isn’t there any law left?"

"Do you know you’ll meet a bad end if you behave so unreasonably?" Ms. Qian of Wang Family cried as she spoke, pushing and shoving, exasperating the leader to the point where he was ready to draw his sword. Yang Chuxia flicked a silver thread over, binding the sword.

"Do you intend to mindlessly slaughter the innocent? Look carefully, these are good citizens; they’re just relatives of the Ye Family, understand?"

Ms. Qian saw the sword was bound and began to shove the leader again, "We want to leave, you heartless scum, you dog, you lot will meet a bad end..."

As Ms. Qian’s insults grew nastier, one soldier walked over and murmured to the leader, "How about reporting this above? We were only ordered to guard the Ye Family, not others."

Watching the soldier leave, Yang Chuxia retracted the silver thread.

The soldier was gone for over half an hour but returned with news that no one would be allowed to leave the mansion.

Yang Chuxia was displeased, eyes narrowed, she dashed out without waiting for the leader’s reaction, the silver thread tightening around his neck, "Let them out!"

"No can do! Orders from above!"

The silver thread in Yang Chuxia’s hand tightened further, "I want to see Prince Le, or I’ll strangle you today!"

Seeing this, the soldier from earlier left again.

This time, it took about an hour and a half, and the soldier returned with not just himself, but accompanied by Prince Le and Young Master Li.

Seeing these two, Yang Chuxia’s eyes sparkled, "They say Young Master Li and Prince Ping are close, yet it seems the world is blind; Prince Le is the true close friend."

"Are you attempting rebellion?" Young Master Li admonished her as he noticed she still held the soldier captive.

"Isn’t rebellion your doing?" Yang Chuxia chuckled, "If it weren’t for your rebellion, would I have resorted to such a measure with limited mobility?"

She turned to Prince Le, "Prince Le, your tactics are impressive; I commend you. But I still want to ask Prince Le, what crime has our Prince An’s Mansion committed to warrant such guards over us?"

"Ha, what crime did you commit?" Prince Le pondered for a moment and then asked, "Does backing the wrong faction count?"

This question left Yang Chuxia momentarily speechless, for in the struggle for power, winners are kings, losers are outcasts; it’s been that way throughout history.

"Moreover, now that Great Zhou is under my control, I can imprison whoever I want; what can you do about it?"

"Well, Prince Le is right, winners are kings, losers are outcasts. But the people behind me are just ordinary folk, they don’t bear the Ye surname; now they want to return home, surely Prince Le has no reason to stop them?"
