Chapter 552: 552’s mind is not haunted, but she does have sothing.
It reminded that I had co today to cajole, not to argue.
Thus, the mighty Prince Jing could only swallow his pride and admit, “It’s my fault, my fault for the oversight, for not giving proper instructions.”
As he spoke, Prince Jing glanced at Ye Jiu and feigned a posture, saying, “But the steward of that manor really lacks foresight. Such a beautiful little maid standing there, how could she look anything like a swindler?”
“If I’m not treated as a swindler, could I then be welcod inside? What if I really were a swindler and made off with your possessions? Could the steward afford to take that risk?” Ye Jiu countered.
Knowing that he was at fault in this matter, Prince Jing quickly made ands, “I did not consider everything thoroughly. When I return, I will definitely rember to issue the command. That manor will be yours from now on. I said I would give it to you, and I won’t go back on my word, especially since I’m not a man who breaks his promises.”
Speaking of which, Prince Jing looked at the box handed back to him and, once again, pushed it into Ye Jiu’s hands, “This Luminous Pearl is also yours, take it with you.”
Ye Jiu didn’t really bla Prince Jing and, upon hearing him speak like this, accepted the items half-heartedly.
“Early tomorrow, I will depart the capital city with the War King. Upon this separation, who knows when we’ll et again. Please take care of yourself in the future, Prince Jing,” Ye Jiu suddenly felt a tinge of reluctance in her heart.
Facing her biological father, whom she did not recognize at first, Ye Jiu had held resentnt in her heart, but after true contact, those previous thoughts vanished without a trace.
Even though they joked and laughed together in daily life, Ye Jiu never felt any affection towards him, and deep down, she even faintly felt he owed her sothing.
However, it was only at the mont of parting that she realized she did indeed have feelings for Prince Jing—she’d hidden them so well that she had fooled even herself.
Prince Jing said, “I will co to see you off tomorrow.”
“No need. When I leave, you will likely be in the imperial court, and ti will not allow. There’s no need coming specifically to bid farewell.” Separations are always painful, and seeing each other again is unpredictable—Ye Jiu really did not like that.
Yet, Prince Jing insisted, “I will certainly make it tomorrow.”
As he spoke, Prince Jing reached out to remove the veil from Ye Jiu’s head, “From now on, you don’t have to cover your face every day. It’s just that you look very much like , that’s all. We have nothing to hide in our hearts, there’s no need for such concealnt.”
Ye Jiu smiled.
He may not have ghosts in his heart, but she did!
If her identity were exposed, she could foresee the massive upheaval it would cause.
Leaving aside whether the Imperial Family would acknowledge her, just the current situation of the Princely Heir would beco extrely difficult, and he might even lose his life.
Therefore, Ye Jiu could not take that risk.
Once again seeing Ye Jiu’s face, which bore an exact resemblance to his own, Prince Jing felt a strange sense of emotion stir within him.
If this girl were really his child, how wonderful it would be.
Her temperant and everything else were to his liking, much more endearing than those sons at ho.
What a pity.
After returning to his residence, Prince Jing imdiately gave instructions about the Hot Spring Manor, and even ordered a search for the indenture contracts of the servants there.
Likewise, thinking of Ye Jiu’s departure the next day, his heart felt an indescribable sense of reluctance.
Thus, when Ye Jiu received the items, she found not only nurous indenture contracts but also a chest of jewels and ornants, as well as an entire carriage filled with precious fabrics.
