"So, he is..." A hint of surprise flashed in the guard's eyes.

"Who is he?" Ye Qingtang looked at the guard.

"He is the son of the Grand Tutor, his name is Ye Jun!" the guard said.

"Ye Jun!" Ye Qingtang narrowed his eyes.

Seeing that Ye Qingtang seemed to know Ye Jun, the man hurriedly asked, "Miss Ye, do you know that Ye Jun?"

Ye Qingtang nodded, then walked right past the man and left the Ministry of Justice.

The man looked at Ye Qingtang's leaving back, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

......

After Ye Qingtang left the Ministry of Justice, he looked around and then quickly flew towards the direction of the Imperial Palace.

"Master Taifu!"

At the entrance of the criminal department, the guards saw Ye Jun and spoke quickly.

"Where is my father?" Ye Jun asked.

"His Highness has left the Ministry of Justice." said a guard.

"Leaving the Ministry of Justice?" Ye Jun was surprised.

"Yes, the Grand Tutor personally escorted His Highness out of the Ministry of Justice." said the guard.

"Does father know that I'm locked up?" Ye Jun asked doubtfully.

"I don't know this. The reason why the Grand Tutor left the Ministry of Justice was because he had to go back home for urgent matters, so he left the Ministry in a hurry." said the guard.

After hearing this, Ye Jun gave up asking about the Minister of Justice.

However, Ye Jun felt that the way the guards from the Ministry of Justice looked at him today seemed a little different.

When did this feeling start...

Ye Jun frowned and recalled carefully.

However, after recalling for a moment, he found that he could not grasp the specific meaning of that look at all.

"Forget it, ignore them. I'm not injured anyway. Even if I'm imprisoned here, they can't do anything to me!" Ye Jun thought secretly, then turned and left.

......

Ye Qingtang circled around the Ministry of Justice several times but still did not see any trace of Nan Muxu, so he decided to return to the palace first and wait for Nan Muxu to return before tracking him down.

However, just as Ye Qingtang was about to return to the palace, he saw a group of people walking towards him not far ahead.

Ye Qingtang took a look and found that those people were Bai Ruoyue and the three brothers Ye Junze and Ye Junfan.

"Hey, Qingtang, what are you doing here?!" Ye Junfan waved immediately after seeing Ye Qingtang.

Ye Qingtang glanced at Ye Junfan, then stepped forward quickly and said, "I just met a few soldiers. They said that Nan Muxu was no longer in the Ministry of Justice, so I chased him out. However, I walked around outside the Ministry of Justice and did not see him."

"What? Nan Muxu is not in the Ministry of Justice?!" Ye Junfan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, and then he quickly looked at Bai Ruoyue and Ye Junfan and said, "You said, Nan Muxu is not in the Ministry of Justice?"

Bai Ruoyue nodded.

"What's wrong with you two? How could you let Nan Muxu escape?" Ye Junfan looked at Bai Ruoyue and Ye Junfan with an angry face, grabbed their collars and shouted: "You two pieces of trash, why don't you get back here and reflect on your mistakes!"

As soon as Ye Junfan finished speaking, Bai Ruoyue and Ye Junfan were kicked to the ground by him. They climbed up in a panic and ran back to their mansion in shame.

Ye Qingtang looked at this scene and felt a little amused.

She thought that they would have a quarrel with Nan Muxu, but unexpectedly, it was Ye Junfan who took the initiative to kick them out of the house.

Looking at Ye Junfan's actions, Ye Qingtang couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Ye Junfan was indeed still a child, and his temperament was still so impulsive.

Ye Qingtang was too lazy to pay attention to Ye Junfan and the others and went straight into the city.

"Sister Qingtang, what should we do with my father and brother?" Ye Junfan followed Ye Qingtang for two steps, turned around to look at Bai Ruoyue and Ye Junfan, and asked.

Ye Qingtang didn't even think about it and said mercilessly: "Don't worry about it, they will handle it themselves."

"Then...should we follow you?" Ye Junfan asked tentatively.

Ye Qingtang glanced at Ye Junfan with an expression that said 'you are stupid'.

Ye Junfan touched the tip of his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You guys wish me good luck." Ye Qingtang said this and walked towards the direction of the palace without looking back.

Ye Junfan looked at Ye Qingtang's back, and a hint of curiosity arose in his heart.

Who is Ye Qingtang?

He was able to stand on equal footing with his father...

Could it be...that she really came from somewhere else on the continent?

Thinking of this, a hint of interest flashed in Ye Junfan's eyes.

......

Inside the Imperial Palace, the Grand Tutor’s Mansion.

Ye Junfan followed Ye Qingtang all the way back to the Taifu Mansion. He watched Ye Qingtang enter the courtyard of the Taifu Mansion, and a sense of anticipation rose in his heart.

"Master Taifu, I'm here." Ye Junfan stood outside the yard and shouted.

However, there was no movement in the Taifu Mansion for a long time, which made Ye Junfan a little disappointed.

"Could it be that Master Taifu has fallen asleep..." Ye Junfan muttered.

Just when Ye Junfan was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the hall inside the courtyard gate. He was sitting on a throne, holding a memorial in his hand and reading it attentively.

After seeing Ye Junfan, the man did not move his gaze to him, as if he did not see him at all.

"Father..." Ye Junfan shouted somewhat embarrassedly.

As soon as Ye Junfan finished speaking, a light cough was heard.

The person sitting in the lobby was the Minister of Justice, Nan Muxu.

Ye Junfan looked at Nan Muxu who was sitting there with his head down at the memorials, and the corners of his eyes twitched twice.

Father, why are you coming to my house at this hour instead of going to work at the Ministry of Justice?

Ye Junfan complained in his heart but didn't dare to say it out loud. He was afraid that after saying it, it would make Nan Muxu even more unhappy.

Ye Junfan took a deep breath and walked forward slowly.

"Father, how come you have time to come back home at this hour?" Ye Junfan walked to the front of the hall, bowed slightly, and saluted Nan Muxu respectfully.

Ye Qingtang was standing outside the lobby door, watching the interaction between Ye Junfan and Nan Muxu, raising his eyebrows slightly and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Nan Muxu raised his head and looked at Ye Junfan.

"I came back this time because I have something important to tell you." Nan Muxu said in a deep voice.

"Oh? What's the matter?" Ye Junfan was a little surprised.

Nan Muxu glanced at Ye Junfan, then continued, "You go outside and wait. I want to talk to Miss Ye alone."

Ye Junfan nodded, then turned around and left the lobby.

Nan Muxu watched Ye Junfan leave, then looked at Ye Qingtang standing beside him and said, "I have something to discuss with Miss Ye."
