My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 824: Something’s Up, Sister-in-law! (1)

Even Song Tangtang didn’t side with her husband, instead she chimed in, "Yes, kick him straight into the sea and let him bake into a salted fish."

Ye Shen pretended to be upset, in a very fake manner, "Tangtang, how long have we been married that you want to murder your husband already? I’m mad, come over here and give me a kiss."

The elders were all around at the moment, and Song Tangtang, wanting to save face, shyly ran outside, with Ye Shen chasing after her.

Neither of them were very familiar with the surroundings, and soon got lost in their pursuit.

The Bai Family’s yard was enormous, with layouts that were mostly similar. Wandering around, Tangtang and Ye Shen soon lost track of where they were. Just as Tangtang was about to complain, Ye Shen suddenly made a "shh" gesture to her.

Tangtang’s complaints came to a halt, and she blinked, following Ye Shen’s gaze to see someone acting sneakily. Tangtang whispered, "What is that person doing?"

Ye Shen didn’t know, so he took Tangtang’s hand and said, "Let’s go see."

Tangtang nodded and began to walk lightly.

The two of them followed the sneaky young man without being noticed.

They didn’t see the young man’s face, only his back. He was wearing this season’s trending hoodie, with a slim build, about 175 to 178 cm tall, and a black cap.

They followed all the way to the tall wall of the Bai Family.

The area was open, and to avoid exposure, Ye Shen and Tangtang hid inside the coral bushes.

The young man looked around to ensure there was nobody, then climbed and passed through the waterproof layer of the wall to leave the Bai Family, clearly having done something nefarious. After he left, Ye Shen stood in the middle of Coral Garden pondering.

Tangtang said, "Sis-in-law is the smartest, should we tell her about this?"

Ye Shen nodded and called Si Mingjing, faking a cry, "Sis-in-law, Tangtang and I got lost, and we can’t find the way back. Please come and get us."

Si Mingjing was currently with Yan Zhenxi, reviewing Ye Siyuan’s wedding gown, and picked up the phone with a furrowed brow.

Ye Siyuan chuckled and scolded, "Ignore him, let him keep playing the fool like he’s a three-year-old!"

Ye Shen heard Ye Siyuan’s remark and wailed, "Sis-in-law, you need to pick us up yourself, I am your absolutely most cherished brother!"

Si Mingjing didn’t want to deal with Ye Shen, but did he really get lost to the extent he needs her to fetch him?

Si Mingjing narrowed her eyes, a smile tugging at her lips, and said, "I’ll go check."

"Sis-in-law, why are you coddling Asheng; he’s just lethargic and needs a beating."

Still, Si Mingjing went, asking as she walked, "Where are you?"

Ye Shen said, "I don’t know either."

Then he gave a rough description, saying, "There’s a coral garden here, right next to a high wall, climb over it and you’ll be out of the Bai Family."

Si Mingjing basically knew where Ye Shen was.

She hurried over and saw Ye Shen and Song Tangtang taking photos among the coral.

Si Mingjing’s gaze was authoritative, "You better have an issue, so my trip here isn’t wasted on you."

"There’s an issue, sis-in-law!" Ye Shen always knew his sister-in-law was smart, and she’d understand his subtle hint. He said, "Tangtang and I saw a young man sneak out from here just now, but we don’t know what sneaky business he was up to in the Bai Family."

Ye Shen then led Si Mingjing to see the footprints left on the wall.

Si Mingjing frowned, "Did you get a good look at who it was?"

Ye Shen shook his head, "No, I only saw a silhouette."

Si Mingjing glanced around, saying, "No worries, I’ll have someone check the surveillance."

Ye Shen suddenly slapped his forehead, "Sis-in-law indeed is smart, I thought there was no surveillance in this new house, I looked around but didn’t see any."

"The surveillance is designed to blend quite well with the surrounding architecture."

Si Mingjing didn’t inform Ye Shen where the surveillance was; when the house was newly designed and renovated, the concern was that the surveillance should be discreet and unnoticeable, generally hard to discover.

Si Mingjing called Song Yuan to have him check the surveillance.

Five minutes later, Song Yuan came to report, "Your Majesty, the person wore a hat, the face wasn’t captured. They went to Miss Ye’s living room, and there’s no surveillance there, so we don’t know what they did inside. There are many people in the living room now, so it’s inconvenient for me to check thoroughly."

Si Mingjing frowned and acknowledged, "Avoid alerting him. I’ll have everyone come out first, then you go inside and check carefully to see what’s changed or missing."

Song Yuan bowed, "Understood!"

Si Mingjing thought up a plan, she would have Ye Shen get everyone out of the living room where Ye Siyuan was temporarily residing.

Ye Shen obeyed, "Sis-in-law, wait for my good news."

Song Tangtang said, "I’ll go too, whoever wants to harm cousin is tired of living!"

Si Mingjing prepared afternoon tea at the small courtyard of the Bai Family where she was staying, invited Bai Grandma and Bai Grandpa over, then had Ye Shen pass the word around that Bai Grandma was inviting everyone over for tea and snacks.

The courtesy must be upheld; even if someone didn’t want tea and snacks, they’d come anyway, as they were guests.

Once everyone had left Ye Siyuan’s temporary living room, Song Yuan took people to search the room entirely, and genuinely found a shoebox at the top of the wardrobe.

The shoebox was marked with a wedding character; if you didn’t pay special attention, you wouldn’t notice a problem with the shoebox at all.

Even after seeing Song Yuan show her in the video call, Si Mingjing still felt there was no problem with it.

Song Yuan opened the shoebox.

Si Mingjing peered through the video, and inside the box wasn’t shoes, but rather...

Si Mingjing frowned and said, "Bring it over for me to see."

She added, "Leave the shoebox, only bring the contents, don’t alert anyone, and put the shoebox back."

Song Yuan accepted the command.

When Song Yuan came over, Ye Shen and Tangtang, after listening to the elders exchange pleasantries, followed Si Mingjing outside. Ye Shen sped up his pace upon seeing Song Yuan hand a red plastic bag to Si Mingjing.

Ye Shen quickened his footsteps, stood beside Si Mingjing, and lowered his head to look at the red plastic bag, wondering what kind of garbage it contained?

Si Mingjing opened the red plastic bag, and Ye Shen took one glance and erupted in rage!

Si Mingjing shot him a glare, "Quiet! Do you want everyone to see it?"

Ye Shen swallowed his fury, forced back by Si Mingjing’s stern look. He clenched his fist tightly, his knuckles cracking, and quietly demanded, "Sis-in-law, who’s trying to frame my sister?"

Si Mingjing slightly furrowed her brow.

Someone put this item in a shoebox, certainly intending harm to Siyuan.

With Siyuan’s wedding the day after tomorrow, there’s a tradition of hiding the bride’s shoes in the room for the groom and his men to find before carrying the bride out. If, while finding the shoes later, they find this instead...

Si Mingjing’s expression turned to icy cold fury!
