My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband-Chapter 791 Si Lisao’s Promise 2

In the afternoon, Si Lisao went to visit Bai Chuanfeng. Ye Siyuan felt she needed to present a sorrowful image to the outside world, so she did not accompany Si Lisao. Instead, she chose to stay home, pulling Si Mingjing to play mahjong.

Recently, she had fallen in love with playing mahjong and constantly aimed to win her sister-in-law’s money, only to end up losing miserably each time.

At this moment, in the Atlantis Undersea Empire, within the Bai Family, one of the six great families, a small submarine pierced through the waterproof barrier and stopped in the backyard of the Bai family villa. A hurried young man stepped out.

Geshu Tang, the ruler of another major family who, despite being over a hundred years old, still looked like a youth, walked directly into the Bai family’s guest hall. He sat impatiently sipping coffee and frowned as he asked the butler, "Where is your elder?"

"Elder Geshu, please wait a moment. My master said he will be right here," the butler replied.

Geshu Tang slammed his coffee cup onto the table. "Go in and hurry him up!"

The white-bearded Bai Qiuyuan walked out from behind a screen, his steps steady and demeanor calm. He teased Geshu Tang, "What has you so agitated? I’m just two minutes late, and you’re giving my butler a hard time?"

Geshu Tang said, "The mother and son from S Country, as well as the doctor who took the Second Princess’s pulse, have disappeared."

"What do you mean?"

"They’ve been detained by the Ye Family. There has been no news to this day."

Geshu Tang, old and calculating, feared the situation had changed.

After Bai Qiuyuan took his seat, he waved his hand, signaling the butler to leave.

Once the butler had left, Bai Qiuyuan said, "It’s no surprise they were detained. What are you nervous about? Even with the Prince Regent of Mu Continent flaunting his love on Bovee today and stating he won’t call off the marriage because of this, there’s no need to be anxious. After all, the Second Princess is infertile. Even if she marries into the Mu Continent, she won’t be able to produce a mermaid for them!"

Bai Qiuyuan felt the ultimate goal had been achieved, and all else was of no consequence.

But Geshu Tang frowned in thought. I have a bad gut feeling; perhaps the plan went too smoothly.

"You, living for over a hundred years, are still so suspicious," Bai Qiuyuan chided. "Wasn’t the Second Princess’s behavior last night enough to reveal her physical condition? Can the Third Prince’s drunken words even be false?"

Geshu Tang said, "Perhaps I am being overanxious."

"Definitely, you are overanxious!" Bai Qiuyuan assured. "Even if they investigate the diet pills, they won’t lead back to us. Moreover, the two people you mentioned don’t know anything. Their only role was to expose the Second Princess’s infertility. Even if the Crown Prince detains and interrogates them severely, he won’t be able to extract any information detrimental to us."

Geshu Tang thought, Indeed, those two lackeys knew nothing.

Thus, Geshu Tang’s worries dissipated.

He sighed. "The Second Princess is someone I watched grow up. Now... It’s her own fault for marrying the wrong man; we can’t be blamed. A Mermaid Princess of Atlantis absolutely cannot bear a mermaid for the Mu Continent!"

Bai Qiuyuan inwardly held Geshu Tang in contempt. The idea had been Geshu Tang’s. Who didn’t know that despite his harmless appearance, Geshu Tang was actually ruthless and vicious? What was he pretending to be reluctant about in front of him now?

After his visit to Bai Chuanfeng, Si Lisao returned to the palace.

On the way back, Xiao Changsheng, sitting in the passenger seat, received a phone call and immediately turned to report, "Prince Regent, we’ve found out—it was no accident that Miss Ye took the weight loss pills."

Sitting in the back seat, resting with his eyes closed, Si Lisao slightly lifted his eyelids. His voice was as deep as water. "Speak."

Xiao Changsheng reported, "Our lead came from following Mo Yinhe’s men. It appears it was a scheme from inside Atlantis to harm Miss Ye. Three of the six major families were involved. It seems they cannot tolerate the Second Princess marrying you and bearing mermaids for the Mu Continent, so..."

Xiao Changsheng didn’t continue, acutely aware that the pressure inside the car had dropped suddenly, so heavy it felt as if one’s throat was being squeezed, making it hard to breathe.

Gathering himself, Xiao Changsheng asked for instructions, "Prince Regent, what should we do now?"

"Is there any movement on Mo Yinhe’s side?" Si Lisao asked in a grave tone.

Xiao Changsheng was uncertain. "Shall I send someone to check?"

"No need."

As the car was about to arrive at the palace, Si Lisao decided to go and ask Mo Yinhe in person.

Mo Yinhe had nothing much to do today, so he was playing mahjong with his wife and sister. He hardly won, either letting his wife win or going easy on his younger sister, which led to Ye Shen, sitting opposite him, losing miserably.

Just then, Fengjue approached Mo Yinhe, bowed respectfully, and reported, "Your Excellency, we’ve found evidence."

Fengjue handed the collected evidence to Mo Yinhe.

After reviewing it, Mo Yinhe continued playing mahjong. He discarded a nine of characters and said, "Let’s hold our forces for now. Wait a few more days for the situation to develop, and release the evidence when the time is ripe."

"Yes."

Si Lisao walked in from outside, just in time to hear Mo Yinhe’s words.

He took off his black cashmere coat, handed it to Xiao Changsheng, and then walked straight over to stand behind Ye Siyuan and watch her play.

Ye Siyuan turned her head and smiled at Si Lisao. "I thought Aunt Bai would keep you for dinner."

"I declined."

The butler brought a chair for Si Lisao, who then sat beside her to watch her play.

Ye Siyuan had won some money and was thrilled. She boasted to Si Lisao, "I’ve had such good luck today! I won five thousand, and sister-in-law won eight thousand!"

Si Lisao asked, "Who lost?"

The two gentlemen present said nothing.

Ye Siyuan urgently needed the restroom. She gave her seat to Si Lisao and said, "Cover for me for a bit; I need to go to the bathroom."

Si Lisao took her place.

After using the restroom, Ye Siyuan called Fengjue to show her the collected evidence.

It turned out the Chen Family’s foolish girl had fallen in love!

She had her eye on a nobleman from the Undersea World: the third young master of the Geshu Family, Geshu Yu.

Someone told Miss Chen that Geshu Yu found her too fat for his liking.

So Miss Chen thought of losing weight.

But none of the weight loss methods seemed very effective. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Then, someone on social media gave her a "secret recipe," which was nothing but harmful weight-loss pills.

That person was none other than Geshu Yu’s sister, Geshu Xiang!

Geshu Xiang had even traveled to S Country not long ago, mingling with the young royals there.

Ye Siyuan frowned deeply. Could this Geshu Xiang have a secret crush on my brother, wanting to marry him? Did she harm me, then Tangtang, and now plans to find a way to marry Ye Shen, bear him Mermaid children, and become the first Empress of Atlantis?

Hmph, she’s certainly got her plans all figured out, clicking and clacking away. But she can dream on!

Fengjue had collected other evidence as well. After Ye Siyuan had looked through everything, she returned to the living room, fuming.

She was contemplating how to get back at her, to show Geshu Xiang what it means for a toad to crave swan meat.

Though Geshu Xiang isn’t ugly—in fact, she’s a well-known socialite in the Undersea Empire—in my mind, she’s ten thousand times uglier than a toad right now! Ye Siyuan was determined to make Geshu Xiang regret her actions!
