472 She Should Just Die!
“Yes, I’ll make arrangements for it now,” Yan Qin replied.
They had already dragged Prince De back. The Emperor would probably send him to the southern border soon.
Prince De would be in trouble if Qian Jiyun recalled his men from the southern border. Not everyone could take command there.
“Master, if we recall our people, will there be any problems with the 18 Stockaded Villages?” he asked.
!!
“What problems can there be?” Qian Jiyun asked coldly.
Would people from other countries dare to provoke the 18 Stockaded Villages if the old Emperor even allowed them to split up a portion of his territory and set up camp?
The 18 Stockaded Villages were not afraid of open attacks. They had the trump cards left behind by the late Prince An Yang.
“I spoke too much.” Yan Qin lowered his head and replied before leaving to send word.
“Xue Yingyue!” Qian Jiyun sneered when he thought of that old woman.
He had kept this woman around for far too long, long enough for everyone to believe that Xue Yingyue knew his weakness, allowing her to repeatedly attack him without retaliation.
“Yan Shen, come with me to meet that woman.”
“Yes, Master,” Yan Shen replied and followed Qian Jiyun to Xue Yingyue’s courtyard.
…
“Failed?”
The woman sitting in the chair trembled when she learned from her maid, Ling Long, that they had not captured An Jiuyue or the two children.
“Where’s Yu Yan’er? What is that idiot doing?”
Xue Yingyue stood up from her chair and asked with bloodshot eyes.
She had dispatched so many people. Even if they could not capture An Jiuyue directly, they had installed Yu Yan’er as a backup plan!
Is that idiot not even listening to her father anymore? Is Grand Preceptor Yu raising an ingrate?
“What kind of daughter is she? She can’t even do such a simple task. She should just die!”
“Uh…” Ling Long was rendered speechless and looked up at Xue Yingyue.
She had no idea what had happened to Yu Yan’er. The people she sent after that never saw Yu Yan’er.
Although Yu Yan’er was the only daughter of Grand Preceptor Yu’s legal wife, he did not deem her very useful. She was nothing more than a chess piece.
However, if something really happened to her, Grand Preceptor Yu would not dare to blame the Emperor. He would only blame Old Madam.
The higher-ups had already questioned her many times. They would not go easy on her if Grand Preceptor Yu complained about her.
“Old Madam, my subordinates couldn’t find Miss Yu.”
Of course, not only Yu Yan’er but also the men in black they had sent were missing. Only blood remained on the ground, enough to scare all the passers-by away.
“You couldn’t find her?” Xue Yingyue frowned.
She subconsciously believed they had failed to capture An Jiuyue because Yu Yan’er dared not attack when she arrived.
“I knew that idiot was timid! What did those who returned say? That Yu Yan’er couldn’t complete the task?” she asked.
This failure made many future plans impossible.
She could not take responsibility if the higher-ups blamed her for this. Hence, she needed a scapegoat, which she found in Yu Yan’er and even Grand Preceptor Yu.
