Chapter 1012: Chapter 850, Joy for Some, Sorrow for Others

Xiao Yechen furrowed his brow. "So soon?"

Given Xiao Yeyang’s doting affection for Yan Yiyi, surely he would search everywhere for her once she went missing. How could he have returned to the mansion so soon?

"Could it be that he has found Yan Yiyi?"

Xiao Yechen acknowledged the abilities of the third Prince, otherwise, he wouldn’t have allied with the third Prince’s faction.

At that moment, Difu arrived at Chen Courtyard, leading several bodyguards.

Difu bowed to Xiao Yechen first. "My lord, the Princely Heir wishes to question Gao Yuan and Gao Fang at your side. Please allow this."

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuan and Gao Fang immediately looked pleadingly towards Xiao Yechen.

Xiao Yechen did not look at them but coldly stared at Difu. "Are the people by my side at Xiao Yeyang’s beck and call? I appointed them to serve me; we’re not going."

Difu, still smiling, said, "My lord, two maids died in the Prince Residence, and everyone there will be questioned. This is also approved by the Prince."

Xiao Yechen slammed his hand on the table. "You overstepping fool, I am still the eldest son of the Prince Residence, how dare a mere servant bully me."

Difu’s smile faded. "My lord, I’m speaking kindly here. If you won’t cooperate, I will have no choice but to offend." With that, he waved his hand, and the bodyguards immediately apprehended Gao Yuan and Gao Fang.

"Difu, you’ve got some nerve!"

Xiao Yechen stood up abruptly, a look of fury on his face as he pointed at Difu.

Difu bowed and turned around. "My lord, I am only executing orders. If Gao Yuan and Gao Fang are unrelated to the maids’ deaths, I will personally bring them back."

After saying this, he bowed again and then took his men and left abruptly.

"How outrageous, utterly outrageous!"

Xiao Yechen, unable to contain his anger, paced around the room, then quickly headed to Pingxi Hall to find the Prince.

Pingxi Hall.

After hearing from Huai En that Xiao Yechen was coming, the Prince remained silent for a while before finally speaking. "Let him in."

As soon as Xiao Yechen entered, without even a bow, he spoke directly. "Father, you must stand up for your son. Xiao Yeyang has had my men Gao Yuan and Gao Fang taken away. He doesn’t regard me, his elder brother, at all."

The Prince quietly watched his eldest illegitimate son, waiting for him to calm down, then asked, "Does last night’s kidnapping of the Yan girl have anything to do with you?"

Xiao Yechen tensed up internally, but still managed a look of grievance on his face. "Father, for the past two months, I have been keeping mourning for my mother in the courtyard. How would I know about my brother’s sister being kidnapped?"

The Prince stared at Xiao Yechen. "You don’t seem surprised at all?"

Xiao Yechen’s expression faltered.

The Prince sighed deeply. "I know, both you and your mother have always been hostile toward Yeyang, and it’s my fault. Thinking of how your mother bore you out of wedlock, and you, bearing the stigma of an illegitimate child, suffered from rumors and gossip, I have indeed been overly partial towards her, towards you...which might have led to unwanted thoughts..." _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

Xiao Yechen suddenly interrupted the Prince. "Unwanted thoughts? Father, what are you implying?"

The Prince looked at Xiao Yechen. "I have always intended for Yeyang to inherit the title of the Prince Residence, thereby implicitly approving everyone calling him the Little Prince. This has never changed."

Hearing this, Xiao Yechen suddenly laughed. "Never changed... Then what am I, Father? What am I?"

Looking at his eldest son, tears brimming in his eyes, the Prince felt uncomfortable but still said, "There’s a differentiator between legitimate and illegitimate, you should know this."
