"Is it convenient to talk about Miss Su's current identity?" Ye Li asked curiously.
"Noble Consort Qingrong of the Xiling Kingdom, Bai Long."
"Noble Consort Qingrong?" Ye Li raised her eyebrows. Even if she had no general knowledge, she still remembered that the title of Noble Consort seemed to have only one word. So Su Zuidie's status in the Xiling Kingdom was not low. Looking at Mo Xiuyao, Ye Li decided not to ask. She only needed to know that between her and Su Zuidie, Mo Xiuyao was definitely on her side. As for the Noble Consort Qingrong of Xiling who obviously had feelings for Mo Xiuyao, or was somewhat unwilling to give up … It was better for her to think about it herself. It was obviously not a good topic to discuss with her husband about his ex-fiancée.
Ye Li decided not to talk about it, but Mo Xiuyao did not think so. He said calmly, "The Bai family is one of the four major surnames in the Xiling Kingdom. Most of the Empresses and Noble Consorts of the Xiling Kingdom were from the Bai family. This included the current Emperor Of Xiling's Empress. Bai Long entered the palace seven years ago. At that time, she was named Consort Rong and was favored by the Emperor Of Xiling. After the Empress passed away, she was named Noble Consort Qingrong. If the Emperor Of Xiling had not personally asked the Emperor Of Xiling to name Noble Consort Hui, who was also from the Bai family, as his Empress, she would have been the Emperor Of Xiling's Empress by now. "
Ye Li was silent. In less than ten years, she went from being the second son of the Prince Ding Mansion of Da Chu State to almost being the Empress of the Emperor Of Xiling. It had to be said that Miss Su's life was very legendary. Looking at Mo Xiuyao's expression, Ye Li hesitated and asked, "Did you know later that she was not dead, or did you know all along?" Mo Xiuyao's lips sank slightly and said, "At that time, I had not recovered from my injury. When I knew, Han Mingyue was about to take her out of the capital."
"You didn't do anything?" Ye Li was curious. With Mo Xiuyao's original personality, even if he didn't immediately kill Han Mingyue and Su Zuidie, he wouldn't let them leave the capital unharmed. Or if Mo Xiuyao really loved Su Zuidie, he wouldn't have let her leave the capital. Mo Xiuyao glanced at her. "I was in a bad mood at the time, so I did intend to kill them. However … Elder Su rushed over and personally knelt on the ground to beg me. Elder Su is my first teacher. Su Zuidie's father saved my elder brother's life. Her elder brother also died in that battle to save me. After I calmed down, I let them go. "
Ye Li nodded silently. If anyone told her that Mo Xiuyao loved Su Zuidie to the bone again, she would throw them into the water to wash their eyes. The man's voice was as calm as a stranger's. However, even a beauty like Su Zuidie couldn't move Mo Xiuyao's heart? "You … Have you ever liked Su Zuidie?" Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li in surprise. He nodded with a faint smile and said, "Of course I have." Ye Li slightly knit her brows and ignored the uneasiness in her heart. "Then why now …"
Mo Xiuyao interrupted her and said, "She is my fiancee. We grew up together and she might even be my wife in the future. Moreover, she is very beautiful, talented and has a good temperament. Why don't I like her? However … She always seems to think that I am not good enough for her. After I was injured, she wanted to fake her death and leave. Because of her father and brother, I let her go. Then we don't have any relationship anymore, right? "
Ye Li nodded. To sum up Mo Xiuyao's words, Mo Xiuyao had once felt that Su Zuidie was a perfect fiancée. The men in the Ding King's residence had always been faithful, and it wasn't just a matter of love. As long as they recognized their wife, they would treat her well. So this was the so-called truth of mutual love that was spread in the capital. Since Su Zuidie chose to leave in the end, she naturally had nothing to do with Mo Xiuyao. So in the eyes of Mo Xiuyao now, Su Zuidie was just a stranger. She could even be an enemy now.
Guang Ling city itself did not have many things to deal with. But Han Mingxi's actions were very swift. On the same day, the news of Han Mingyue being expelled from the Han family and that the Han family had changed hands with the second young master came out of Guang Ling city. Even the people of Guang Ling city did not know much about Han Mingxi. They only knew that the Han family had this second young master and nothing else. Now that the Han family had changed hands, all the wealthy merchants and officials in Guang Ling city naturally had to pay attention. In this somewhat unexpected hubbub, Mo Xiuyao and Ye Li quietly left Guang Ling city and headed towards the Chu capital.
Just as they returned to the capital, Mo Xiuyao was summoned by the Emperor to the palace to discuss matters. Ye Li did not care about how Mo Xiuyao would explain her disappearance and appearance in Yonglin city. She was already entangled by the people in the palace who were concerned about her. With great difficulty, she managed to appease the wet nurse and Mother Lin. After listening to Steward Mo and Mother Sun report on the recent affairs of the Ding Palace. Ye Li was thinking of going to see Qing Luan and Qing Yu who were still recuperating when a servant came to report that Lord Ye and Old Madam Ye were asking for an audience.
Compared to last year's flush of success, this year's Minister Ye could be said to be covered in dark clouds. At the beginning of the year, Princess Ding's third daughter went missing in the palace. The Zhaoyi's second daughter and little grandson were burned to death. Not even two months had passed and the Ye family had not recovered yet. The fourth son-in-law suddenly rebelled. Although the Emperor had not yet vented his anger on the Ye family, Minister Ye's days were not so good. Occasionally, Minister Ye could not help but wonder if the Heavens did this to him because they did not like him. Therefore, after hearing the news that Prince Ding and Princess Ding had both returned to the capital, Minister Ye did not care about putting on the airs of a father and waited for Ye Li to come home to pay his respects. He directly brought Old Madam Ye to the door.
Ye Li stepped into the reception pavilion and saw Minister Ye and Old Madam Ye's obviously old and haggard appearance. She raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Father, grandmother."
"Li 'er, you finally came back safe and sound. Grandmother was worried to death." Old Madam Ye pulled Ye Li to tears. Ye Li smiled faintly and said, "I made grandmother worry. It's Li 'er's fault."
Minister Ye looked at this daughter strangely. He always felt that something was not right. Although he was not very willing to get along with this daughter since his wife passed away, this did not prevent him from knowing Ye Li's situation. This third daughter was quiet and did not like to talk since childhood. But like his wife, she seemed to be born with the grace and elegance of a noble family. But this time when he saw her, Minister Ye keenly found that there seemed to be something between her eyebrows. Even if she was just sitting quietly and letting Old Madam Ye hold her hand with a quiet smile, Minister Ye clearly felt a sense of sharpness and pressure that he had never felt before. He could not help but think of the rumors he heard before about Princess Ding suddenly appearing in Yongzhou and helping General Murong to guard Yonglin. Although not many people knew this news, Minister Ye was the Emperor, Prince Li, and Prince Ding's father-in-law. Naturally, he had some unknown channels of information. The credibility of the information he received was definitely much more real than the rumors outside. Looking at the gentle woman with a smile in front of him, Minister Ye's heart was filled with mixed feelings. He had a daughter who hid it well. This daughter even hid it from him, her father, and he used her as an abandoned pawn.
