Ye Jiu walked to a place not far from the main gate and happened to et the Crown Prince. The father and daughter both stopped simultaneously.
"Have you heard about the collapse of the Imperial Palace?" the Crown Prince asked.
Ye Jiu shook her head, confused.
"Then you are...?" The Crown Prince was puzzled.
"I’m going to the Ye Family," Ye Jiu replied.
The words inviting her to go to the Imperial Palace together couldn’t escape the Crown Prince’s lips.
"If father is fine, then I’m off," said Ye Jiu.
After Ye Jiu took two more steps, the Crown Prince suddenly spoke, "The Imperial Palace is old and dilapidated; several palaces have collapsed. Your royal grandfather was frightened. You should also go take a look."
"No, there’s no need. With father there, it’s enough. Whether I go or not doesn’t matter," Ye Jiu said.
"Qin Jiu..."
Watching Ye Jiu leave without a mont’s hesitation, the Crown Prince called out, but Ye Jiu did not turn back.
In the end, the Crown Prince could only sigh.
This girl Jiujiu, it seems she really has distanced herself from her father.
Shaking his head, the Crown Prince left helplessly, having to go to the Imperial Palace alone.
At the Ye Family, when Ye Jiu arrived, there wasn’t even a gatekeeper, and the main door was tightly closed. The once splendid entrance suddenly seed rather bleak.
Pushing the door open, Ye Jiu walked in. Inside the courtyard, traces from the fight the other day remained, completely untouched.
Inside the room, Madam He lay on the bed. Madam Zhang was placing an empty dicine bowl she had just taken aside and thoughtfully wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, showing utmost care.
Imdiately after, Madam Zhao’s chattering voice rang out again, "I told you, his aunt can’t be relied upon. We originally thought we’d enjoy a few days of peace coming to the capital. But look at what happened, not only didn’t we enjoy peace for a few days, but we’ve also suffered greatly. Just a few days ago, mother and the fourth daughter-in-law were taken away for no reason, and in just a few days, our whole family ended up in jail again, I..."
"Cough cough cough..." This ti, Madam He genuinely felt unwell, unlike before when she mostly feigned it.
Thus, halfway through Madam Zhao’s words, Old Man Ye interrupted, "Enough, second son, take your wife back, and don’t co to this room often in the future."
Old Man Ye was usually gentle-natured, rarely losing his temper. But this outburst startled Ye Gaoshui, who hurriedly stood up and dragged Madam Zhao out.
Yet Madam Zhao felt emboldened with Ye Wenyu becoming an official, still not convinced, "I didn’t say anything wrong. Why are you pulling ? When our family was in jail, did his aunt ever visit us? We’ve been back for two days, and if his aunt truly cared about us, wouldn’t she have co to see us? Anyway, even if she didn’t co to see us, shouldn’t she at least see mother? Over the years, mother has favored his aunt the most..."
"Mother cared for , does the second sister-in-law have any objections to that?" It was just then that Ye Jiu walked to the doorway, coincidentally hearing Madam Zhao’s words.
Instantly, Madam Zhao fell silent.
Turning back and seeing Ye Jiu, Madam Zhao muttered, "Why is little sister here at this ti?"
Ye Jiu, with a half-smile, said, "If I didn’t co, I wouldn’t know, it turns out the second sister-in-law has such strong opinions about !"
"I..." Caught talking bad about soone to their face, Madam Zhao was speechless, and rembering the advantages her family had enjoyed due to Ye Jiu’s status as Commandery Princess, suddenly felt guilty.
However, it was only for a mont before she regained her footing, "I wasn’t wrong. Although little sister has looked after the family a lot over the years, our family lost this ti entirely because of little sister. It cancels out, and we’ve suffered so much because of it..."
