On Our Wedding Night, I Discovered the Crown Prince's Hidden Illness-Chapter 106 - : Along with Gu Yi
Chapter 106 -106: Along with Gu Yi
“Execute!” Ye Yiheng uttered just one word with his thin lips.
Though it was a merciless phrase, at this moment it sounded particularly pleasing to Leng Yu Yan’s ears.
Earlier on, through Eunuch Ye, she had already made the Emperor aware that she intended to reclaim her mother’s dowry. By doing so, if the Leng Family attempted to hinder her, it would be a contempt for the Tian Family, and their crime would merit execution!
Mo Chen once again bowed respectfully, “This subordinate accepts the command!”
Leng Yu Yan gratefully curtsied and then left the study.
Watching her figure, Ye Yiheng’s handsome brows furrowed slightly.
...
Whenever this woman left, the restlessness within his body seemed to lessen somewhat.
This unprecedented restlessness had emerged when she was by his side.
What on earth was the reason for this?
Thinking about how the Marquis Dingyuan Mansion had humiliated her in the past, Ye Yiheng’s entire body was shrouded in a grim and cold murderous aura.
If the Marquis Dingyuan Mansion dared to bully her again, they would be walking a path to their own death.
In this world, only he was allowed to bully her, everyone else was strictly prohibited!
—
In the Leng Family’s front hall.
“Man Ting has not returned for two nights. Prince Liang sent word asking her to stay at the Prince Mansion for a few days. If this spreads, what should be done?” Mrs. Feng complained tearfully to Madam Lai, “Mother-in-law, please think of something. Can you visit the palace and discuss with Consort Xian to marry Man Ting to Prince Liang soon?”
Madam Lai glanced at her irritably, “You think I haven’t thought of that? I sent a petition to the palace early this morning, but Consort Xian sent word back that, for the time being, no one from the Lai Family shall be received.”
The meaning of this message couldn’t be more clear.
Mrs. Feng’s heart suddenly grew very cold.
Ms. He advised, “Eldest sister-in-law, do not worry. Man Ting is greatly favored by Prince Liang. Now that she is residing in the Prince Mansion, I think she should be pleased.”
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Feng responded sharply, “It’s easy for you to say that when it’s not your daughter!”
After the Flower Festival, Ms. He had heard from Lai Jiajia about the tampering with the Flower God Flower Fairy Dress, all of which was brought upon by Man Ting herself.
But now, Mrs. Feng still eagerly sought the whole family to come up with solutions—it was quite laughable.
“Eldest sister-in-law must have forgotten, Yu Yan is also our child of the Lai Family. Yu Yan moved to the Eastern Palace a while ago to be with the Crown Prince, yet I never saw any anxiety from you then. Now, when it comes to Man Ting, you are suddenly so worried.”
“What kind of talk is that, elder sister-in-law? Yu Yan is my daughter, and so is Man Ting. Yu Yan moving to the Eastern Palace was by the Emperor’s decree, but Man Ting was…”
Fainting and being carried off to Prince Liang Mansion, Mrs. Feng could easily predict how things would develop just by moving her toes.
Moreover, the small porcelain bottle contained itching medicine and aphrodisiac.
Once a woman loses her chastity, even to a man she loves, the situation would change dramatically if they are not yet married.
The thought of this made Mrs. Feng’s anxiety burn fiercely.
But she couldn’t speak of the itching medicine and aphrodisiac.
Fortunately, at that time, Cao Shu accused Xu Yaxiang, and Mrs. Feng rapidly schemed in her mind; the blame could only be pushed onto Miss Xu to preserve Man Ting’s reputation.
Just then, Leng Yu Yan arrived at the Leng Residence with Mo Chen and a dozen Eastern Palace Guards.
“Grandmother, father, and mother are here, which is good. Yu Yan is here today for an important matter,” Leng Yu Yan said with a bright smile.
Seeing her return, Leng Zongfa slapped the table, “You still have the face to come back? What exactly happened on the day of the Flower Festival?”
“Didn’t Third Sister tell you?” Leng Yu Yan’s eyes curved into a smile, she looked around feigning surprise, “Oh, Third Sister was taken back by Prince Liang. Isn’t that what Father hoped for? Father can wait until Third Sister’s return and ask her for the details.”
Mrs. Feng looked at the smiling face in front of her; although half of it was covered, she couldn’t deny that the little girl had exceptional beauty. Thinking that her own daughter might not secure the position of Princess Liang, Mrs. Feng’s heart felt as if twisted by a knife, and she glared venomously at Leng Yu Yan, who stood before her, graceful and poised.
“What have you come back for?”
Ignoring her question, Leng Yu Yan’s lips curved into a smirk as she took out a list and said solemnly, “Mo Chen, you and Miao Zhu go to the warehouse at the back, follow this list, and move out all of my late mother’s dowry without missing a single item!”
“Yes, we will strictly follow the Crown Princess Consort’s orders!”
The young men, full of youthful vigor, shouted in unison, startling Mrs. Feng and Leng Zongfa among others.
In a low voice, Mo Chen asked, “Crown Princess Consort, if we leave, there will be no one to attend to you. This…”
Leng Yu Yan gently pinched her delicate fingers and said, “Don’t worry, today is a good day to stretch my muscles.”
Mo Chen was taken aback. This future Crown Princess Consort had already given many surprises, compelling him to never underestimate her. He silently bowed and then led the men to follow Miao Zhu toward the Leng Residence warehouse.
“People, stop them!” Mrs. Feng shouted fiercely, “Leng Yu Yan, do you dare to touch the warehouse?”
“Yu Yan, if you continue to behave like this, don’t blame your grandmother for being impolite.” Madam Lai bellowed, “Someone, bring the family law!”
Leng Yu Yan glanced at them indifferently and said, “I am merely retrieving my mother’s dowry! Why block me like this, unless you have done something unspeakable with my mother’s dowry?”
Madam Lai sneered, “Someone, tie up this unfilial granddaughter and lock her in the ancestral shrine!”
At that moment, more than twenty house guards emerged, wielding sticks and rods.
Just as Leng Yu Yan was about to take action, Mo Chen returned, “The Crown Princess Consort is taking what belongs to her. If you dare to obstruct, you will be executed on the spot without mercy!”

As he spoke, Mo Chen drew his sword with an icy expression.
The glint of the sword under the sunlight was particularly dazzling. The Leng Family had long heard about the blind Crown Prince’s cold and ruthless nature, and it seemed the rumors were true.
For a moment, no one dared to step forward to interfere.
The Eastern Palace guards moved quickly, with dowries being moved out one after another to several waiting horse carriages.
In less than two hours, the warehouse was emptied.
Miao Zhu holding the list said, “Miss, two-thirds of the items on the list have been moved out, but the remaining third, including property and land deeds, are no longer in the warehouse. Many have disappeared without a trace.”
Leng Yu Yan had already anticipated this; the Leng Family had embezzled her mother’s dowry, enriching Mrs. Feng and Madam Lai for Leng Zongfa’s career, no doubt spending much of it.
“Those who have taken my mother’s dowry must return it quickly. I will come to retrieve it later.”
After dropping these words, Leng Yu Yan left elegantly with her entourage.
The removal of the dowry was a double blow to Mrs. Feng. With no news from Man Ting and the dowry flying away, Mrs. Feng was so angry that she quivered incessantly.
Madam Lai too had taken a considerable share of the dowry. Now that it had been emptied in one fell swoop and she had to cough it all back up, she felt a blunt pain in her chest and her eyes rolled back as she fainted.
When Leng Yu Yan returned to the Eastern Palace, it was nearly time for lunch.
Before the dowry could be moved to the Tingfeng Garden warehouse, the Marquis Jiangyang Mansion sent over many jars of orange wine.
Leng Yu Yan looked at the several jars in the hands of the messengers, biting her lip at the sweet taste that was truly delightful.
“It would be great if you gentlemen could help send these to Tingfeng Garden.” As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a shadow envelop her.
She turned her head and saw Ye Yiheng standing right behind her.
Leng Yu Yan tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, “Your Highness, these are gifts from the Eldest Princess. One cannot refuse gifts from one’s elders.”
“The Crown Princess Consort has her excuses ready.” Suddenly, he leaned in close, whispering in her ear with a deep voice, “Or perhaps the Crown Princess Consort wishes to drink with me alone?”
Knowing that this man became drunk from a single drink, she dared not agree.
To his surprise, she replied, “If Your Highness graces me with his company, that would be splendid!”
