Mo Xiuyao lazily raised his eyes, "I am not here to listen to you rant. If there's nothing else, then go back to the posthouse and take it with you. Jhennam Of Gojoseon, do you have anything else to say? If not, then I will take my leave. "
Mo Jingli's face was ashen, and his tightly clenched fists made cracking noises. Lei Zhenting, on the other hand, was a little more composed. He calmly smiled and said, "Prince Ding, why are you in such a hurry?"
Mo Xiuyao smiled complacently and said, "I want to go back and see my little princess."
The news that Princess Ding had given birth to a pair of twins was naturally known to everyone. Looking at Mo Xiuyao's expression, it was clear that he doted on his daughter more. This made Lei Zhenting somewhat curious. After all, to most people, sons were more important. Mo Xiuyao only had two sons at the moment, which wasn't a lot. In contrast to Lei Zhenting's calm and collected manner, Mo Jingli's face was somewhat unable to conceal his jealousy. To Mo Jingli, Mo Xiuyao's high-profile flaunting was simply rubbing salt on his wound.
"I wonder if I would have the honor of meeting the Prince Ding Mansion's little princess?" Lei Zhenting asked.
Mo Xiuyao naturally wouldn't agree, "My daughter has just turned one month old, and can't be exposed to the wind. I'm afraid that Jhennam Of Gojoseon will be disappointed. "
Lei Zhenting wasn't surprised by this. His relationship with Mo Xiuyao naturally wasn't good enough for him to feel at ease getting close to the Prince Ding Mansion's newborn child. He didn't mind Mo Xiuyao's rejection, and only smiled faintly, "That's a pity." Mo Xiuyao waved his hand and said faintly, "Jhennam Of Gojoseon, if you have something to say, feel free to say it."
Lei Zhenting lowered his eyes and smiled faintly, "Prince Ding sure is straightforward. Fine, Prince Ding invited all the dignitaries of the various countries at this time, so he naturally knows what's going on. I wonder if Prince Ding has the time to speak with I alone? "
Mo Xiuyao's sword-like eyebrows raised, "Of course, I have no problem. There are a lot of things going on these days, how about we wait until after grandfather's birthday celebration?" Lei Zhenting nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, I'll be waiting for Prince Ding."
In the garden in the rear courtyard of the mansion, Ye was to take a stroll. She glanced sideways at Ye Ying, who was one step behind her, and couldn't help but recall the Ye Ying before her wedding. At that time, Ye Ying was still a young girl of fourteen years old. Her appearance and talent were the best in the capital, and it was the time when countless girls were envious of men. Now, ten years had passed, and the Ye Ying in front of her was only a thin and pale figure. Even though her appearance was still as beautiful as before, she no longer had the brilliance and elegance of the past. She was like a soulless wooden beauty.
Pulling Ye Ying to sit down in the pavilion, Ye Li asked softly, "How is Fourth Sister now?"
Ye Ying raised her head and looked at her, her eyes flashing with countless complicated and indescribable emotions. Finally, she calmed down and smiled bitterly, "How could Third Sister not know about the Li Palace? It's just passing the days, but Third Sister … must have been living very well these past few years. "Ye Ying looked at Ye Li in front of her, and her heart was incomparably bitter. The Ye Li that she had looked down on in the past had long become an existence that she could never hope to reach. Back then, in the Minister's Manor, her brilliance was covered by others, and she only left the world with an ordinary and unremarkable impression. However, even if a pearl was covered in dust, it would still bloom with dazzling brilliance one day. From the beginning, Ye Li was different from them.
Ye Li smiled faintly, "I am indeed not bad. Now, Father and Grandmother are also in Li City. If you have time, why don't you go and see them. "
Ye Ying was slightly startled and shook her head, "Forget it, I don't have the ability to give the Ye family any wealth or glory. I think Grandmother and Father wouldn't want to see me." From the moment the Ye family chose to seek refuge with Ye Li, who had a cold relationship with them, instead of going to Jiangnan to find her, Ye Ying already understood. Father and Grandmother actually didn't think highly of her. However, this decision was also correct. If the Ye family really went to Jiangnan, they would have no power in their hands, and could even be banished to the Cold Palace. How would she be able to settle the Ye family? At that time, Mo Jingli would probably vent his anger on them. On the other hand, no matter how cold Ye Li's relationship with the Ye family was, she could at least give them a stable place to settle down.
Ye Li looked at the thin woman in front of her, deep in thought, "Fourth Sister has really changed a lot."
"How can she not change?" Ye Ying sighed softly. Ever since she found out that the son that she had doted on and raised for several years was not her biological son, Ye Ying finally understood what kind of person Mo Jingli was. The affectionate love of the past and the solemn vows of undying love were already a thing of the past. Ye Ying was always faced with Mo Jingli's cold and annoyed gaze and Princess Xixia's smug smile. Although Ye Ying was both talented and beautiful, she was not someone with much political insight. In fact, because of Madam Wang's shortsightedness, she could not even compare to some of the well-bred young ladies from prestigious families in the way she handled matters. However, even so, after so many years, Ye Ying more or less understood, no matter how unwilling she was to admit it. Back then, Mo Jingli gave up Ye Li to marry her, but it was not because he only had feelings for her as she thought back then. Back then, she thought that she could attack Ye Li and trample her underfoot by the marriage, but in reality, it was just a lie to let Mo Jingli get rid of Ye Li. Now that Mo Jingli regretted his decision back then, Ye Ying could not avoid being angered.
"Do you still remember that I told Fourth Sister that if you have any grievances, you can tell me. Maybe I can help you. However, it seems that Fourth Sister doesn't trust me. We haven't been in contact all these years … "Ye Li looked at Ye Ying, whose eyes were red, with a gentle expression and sighed softly.
"Third Sister … I …" Ye Ying was stunned. At the same time, she also remembered what Ye Li said to her back in the Li Palace. However, her experiences over the years were worlds apart from Ye Li's. Furthermore, the resentment in her heart made it impossible for her to swallow her pride and beg Ye Li. Now that she heard Ye Li mention it again, all the grievances in Ye Ying's heart could not help but surface. She felt that she had gone too far by picking on Ye Li in the past. At this point in time, who else in the entire Ye family would remember her other than Ye Li?
Ye Ying bit the corner of her lips and whispered, "Third Sister, Ying 'er begs you … begs you to help me find my child, okay?"
"Your child?" Ye Li raised her eyebrows. Back then, Mo Jingli had kicked the Young Heir of the Li Palace to death. Most of the people who had information channels knew the truth. However, the reason given to the public was that the Li Palace's Little Heir had died of an illness. Ye Ying nodded and said with a bitter smile, "Third Sister must know about what happened in the Chu capital two years ago. My child … "Ye Ying could not help but cry when she thought of the child she had never seen since birth. In the past, she had also relied on her child to compete with Princess Xi Xia for favor. However, when she found out that her biological child was missing, she was heartbroken. If she could find her child, it would be good even if she knew that she was still alive and well.
With tears in her eyes, she told Ye Li about her child being swapped by Mo Jingqi. She even told her that Mo Jingli might not have any more children. Although Ye Li already knew a lot of the situation, she could not help but sigh at how unscrupulous Mo Jingqi and Mo Jingli were. After thinking for a moment, Ye Li nodded and said, "Don't worry. As long as your child is still alive, I will definitely help you find him."
