There are several letters inside. Please, inspect them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Cheng took the box, noticing the lock had been smashed open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Cheng’s face remained impassive. He turned and respectfully handed the box to Shen Yanchuan. \"Master.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yanchuan lowered his gaze, his cool, detached eyes sweeping silently over the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The box was open, revealing a stack of about a dozen letters. The one on top had no writing on it, but from the look of the paper, it was clearly several years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Yanchuan reached in and opened the first letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Shixian, who had witnessed the entire scene from the side, was completely stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stared at the box and the letters inside, her mind a complete blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Wha-what is this?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I searched the study over and over again to make sure no evidence was left behind! So where did these letters come from?!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she watched Shen Yanchuan’s long, slender fingers casually flick open the letter, Ye Shixian’s heart gave a violent tremor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Father never made a habit of keeping letters!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He would gather them up and get rid of them periodically.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’For this box of a dozen letters to show up now is just too strange!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The courtyard fell silent. Everyone waited, tense and anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless curious eyes were fixed on the letter in Shen Yanchuan’s hand, desperate to know what it said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Shen Yanchuan folded the letter in half, raised his eyes slightly, and looked over at them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His deep, phoenix-like eyes were utterly serene and indifferent, betraying no emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Shixian’s heart hammered in her chest, and her whole body tensed involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Shen Yanchuan said nothing. He simply took out the second letter from the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another thin sheet of paper, followed by the same suffocating silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All other sounds seemed to fade away, leaving only the rustle of him handling the letter, which was exceptionally clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chutang suddenly sensed something and turned to see Xiao Wu, who was leaning against Ye Yunfeng, reaching out a small hand to give her a gentle tug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her large, dark eyes were clear and utterly pure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chutang was momentarily dazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She’d forgotten. On the night of the incident three years ago, Xiao Wu had still been a babe in swaddling clothes. She wouldn’t remember much.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But the child was always clever. Some things didn’t need to be said for her to understand them perfectly.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Chutang gently tapped the child’s pert little nose and smiled warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you getting sleepy, Xiao Wu? Don’t worry, we’ll be going home soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Wu glanced at the trashed courtyard and the devastated Mrs. Gao and her daughter, then nodded seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Okay!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Since Big Sis said we’re going home soon, that must mean this whole farce is about to be over, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At last, Shen Yanchuan finished reading the last letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His brows drew together slightly. His voice was cold and carried an authority that permitted no argument.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seal the Ye Family residence at once! Without my permission, no one is to enter or leave!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he spoke, the blood in Ye Shixian’s veins seemed to freeze, and her mind went blank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Gao immediately let out a wail. \"Princely Heir! What is the meaning of this!?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Heng had just been arrested, and now the Ye Family residence was being sealed. Anyone who saw this would assume the Ye Family was done for!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crying, Mrs. Gao tried to rush forward, but before she could get close, Yun Cheng raised a hand. A guard immediately moved to restrain her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yun Cheng looked down at Mrs. Gao. His tone was level, but his voice was frigid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Madam Ye, were the Princely Heir’s orders not clear enough? From this moment on, no one in the Ye Family—high or low—is to take a single step out of this residence!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",662,"2026-06-06T07:54:32.966Z",1,"novelbin.me","3511f2b47a530c1c716d5cbb720fceaa140d4c91d06a32dfdeffee496dd31cdd","the-duke-s-pampered-darling-is-so-scheming-chapter-208","the-duke-s-pampered-darling-is-so-scheming-chapter-206",302,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-duke-s-pampered-darling-is-so-scheming-cover.jpg"]
