A trace of surprise flashed through Mo Xiuyao's eyes as he silently nodded his head. Thus, the two of them moved to a private room on the third floor of Chu Xiang Pavilion.
"Miss Ye ….. you've surprised me." In the only private room on the third floor, Mo Xiuyao sat by the open window and looked at the girl in green who didn't seem the least bit uneasy.
Ye Li smiled slightly, "Prince has also surprised me." If the man in front of her was the rumored crippled Prince Ding, then it could be seen just how unreliable the gossip in the capital was.
"So many years ….. it seems like there really is a problem with Jing Li's eyes." Mo Xiuyao sighed as a trace of a smile flashed through his warm eyes. Ye Li smiled lightly, "It's Prince's attitude that made Ye Li sigh. Actually, I always thought that I would receive a second annulment. "
"Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid?" Ye Li looked at him in confusion before quickly reacting, "I'll do my best to be careful. Moreover, the imperial order is like a mountain. Rather than disobeying it, why not try to move forward. Perhaps there will be a different light. "
Mo Xiuyao lifted his hand to take off the mask on his face. The hideous scar under the mask was immediately exposed to Ye Li's eyes.
That hideous scar really did ruin the beauty of the mask, but to Ye Li who had seen broken limbs, bombs, and corpses, it wasn't even enough to shock her. Thus, she only blinked her eyes and asked apologetically, "Prince, are you trying to scare me?"
Mo Xiuyao stared blankly before a faint smile appeared on his lips, "No, actually I don't like wearing this." Even though half of his face had been destroyed, Mo Xiuyao never wore a mask when he was alone. He wasn't someone who didn't dare to face himself.
Ye Li nodded in agreement, "I also don't like people who wear masks." With a mask on, it was hard to see a person's expression and thoughts.
Mo Xiuyao was speechless. The girl in front of him was completely different from the girl Feng Zhiyao had investigated and his own conjecture. Looking at that calm and beautiful face, Mo Xiuyao suddenly felt that Feng Zhiyao was right. Ye Li was indeed a very interesting woman, and she was the best choice he could make. A woman who was very suitable to be the future mistress of the King's Mansion.
As usual, Ye Li sat in her seat with her head lowered. Facing the different expressions of everyone present, it was as if she didn't see anything. Minister Ye looked at his calm third daughter and aggrieved fourth daughter in front of him. He only felt a throbbing pain in his head. Originally, he wanted to reprimand Ye Li as usual, but looking at Ye Li's indifferent expression, the old fox who had been in the imperial court for decades suddenly realized that this wasn't the best choice. Moreover, it might lead to certain consequences that he did not want to face.
Old Madame Ye was still high and mighty. She took in the expressions of everyone present. She thought of the servant's report that Prince Ding's carriage had personally sent her granddaughter to the gate. Although no one saw Prince Ding himself, they could basically confirm that it was Prince Ding who had personally sent Ye Li back. Looking at Ye Ying's bitter face, Old Madame Ye was even more disappointed in this pampered granddaughter. Since Li 'er and Prince Ding's marriage was arranged, Prince Li's behavior towards Ying' er became less and less caring. Of course, this could be due to Ye Ying's reputation during this period. But such an obvious change, even an old woman like her who rarely went out could detect it. Could it be that her smart and clever granddaughter didn't notice it at all? She didn't think about how to hold onto Prince Li, but still found trouble for her sisters. Could it be that she didn't understand that even if Li 'er was not favored, she was still a daughter of the Ye family. In the future, she would also be of help to the Ye family? For the first time, Old Madame Ye doubted whether it was a mistake to exchange Ye Ying for Ye Li and Prince Li's marriage.
"Enough. Ying 'er, Li' er is your elder sister. Pay attention to your propriety as a younger sister. "Old Madame Ye said.
Ye Ying was stunned. She couldn't believe that Old Madame Ye would actually speak up for Ye Li. Her eyes reddened as she felt wronged. She bit her red lips and said, "But grandmother … … she, how could she embarrass Prince Li in public … … This makes Ying 'er … …"
Pa! Old Madame Ye slammed the table heavily and said coldly, "Embarrass Prince Li! Prince Li made things difficult for Li 'er in front of so many people. Why didn't he think of embarrassing the Ye family? Or does he think that the Ye family can only have Prince Li? " Old Madame Ye looked with some disappointment at Ye Ying who still wanted to say something. For a man, she completely disregarded the family's reputation and interests. Could such a granddaughter really be expected to bring any benefits to the Ye family in the future? She was afraid that one day, she would sell the Ye family for Prince Li. Or did she think that it would be better if Li 'er's reputation was ruined? One's glory, one's glory, one's loss, all's loss. She didn't even understand what Wang Shi had taught her all these years? Her cold gaze swept across Wang Shi. Wang Shi couldn't help but shrink back, not daring to meet Old Madame Ye's gaze directly.
"Father … …"
Minister Ye frowned with some headache. He was also somewhat dissatisfied with Mo Jingli. He could pretend that he didn't know that Prince Li wanted to make things difficult for Li 'er, but that had to be done in private. By making things difficult and ridiculing openly, he wasn't slapping Ye Li's face. He was trampling on the Ye family's face. If it wasn't for the second daughter in the palace and the little grandson that was about to be born, so what if he was the Emperor's younger brother? How could he tolerate it like this? "Ying 'er, your grandmother is right. Even if you become Princess Li, you are still the daughter of the Ye family. Do you think that without the support of the Ye family and your second sister, you can stand firm in Princess Li? No matter if it's your second sister, or your eldest sister, third sister, fifth sister, or sixth sister, as long as you sisters are harmonious and support each other, no one can bully you in the future. Do you understand? "
"But … … Third sister offended not only Prince Li, but also Princess Xi Xia. Maybe even Princess Royal will blame us." Ye Ying looked at Ye Li with some unwillingness. She didn't hear what Minister Ye said at all. In Ye Ying's heart, other than her second sister in the palace, the other daughters of the Ye family were not worthy of being compared to her. She was the future Princess Li, why would she need their support?
Ye Li looked up and said softly: "Fourth sister, don't worry. When I came back, I already had someone send a letter of apology and gifts to Princess Royal's residence. Prince Ding's residence will also send someone to explain to Princess Royal. Princess Royal is magnanimous and righteous. I don't think she will blame us, the younger generation, for such a small matter. "Of course, at the same time, Qin's residence, Murong's residence, and Duke Hua's residence also went to apologize.
Hearing this, Old Madame Ye showed an appreciative smile and said: "Li 'er handled this matter very well. Since it was in public and Princess Xi Xia was at fault first, Princess Royal has always been able to distinguish right from wrong and won't argue with the younger generation. His Highness Prince Ding is also considerate. When he returns, he will send a gift to the Prince Ding mansion, saying that he is thanking Prince Ding for personally sending Li 'er back. This … … Let Li 'er handle it herself. If you want to send something, just go to the storeroom and get it. "After hesitating for a moment, Old Madame Ye still handed this matter to Ye Li. She was really worried about Madame Wang. Although the Ye family didn't need to curry favor with Prince Ding's residence, they couldn't make their relationship worse.
