Ye Yiqing and Ye Zhen talked for a long time. When the father and daughter came out of the house, it was already past noon. Hong Ling and Man Qin were waiting in front of them. Both of them looked a little nervous. They didn't know how the father and daughter had talked.
"Daddy, will Tang Zhen give a banquet to welcome you tonight? Will you go?" Ye Zhen remembered that her father had just arrived in the capital today. As usual, the court should give a banquet to entertain him.
"Of course, why not?" If he didn't go and scare those who wanted the Ye family dead, he would certainly not sleep well tonight.
Ye Zhen grinned. She saw the sly look in her father's eyes and knew what he was thinking. "Will those people in the court be scared when they know that you are the prime minister of Dongqing?"
Ye Yiqing chuckled. He could imagine what those people must be feeling. They must be feeling like they had been screwed. In the past, when Ye Yisong was at the height of his power, the people of the court often tried to curry favor with the Ye family. They even said that Ye Yiqing was nothing compared to his brother. Today, seeing the Prime Minister of Dongqing appear, those people must be feeling bad.
"It has nothing to do with me whether they are scared or not. Yao Yao, why don't you come with me?" Ye Yiqing said with a smile. He felt that he didn't spend enough time with his daughter.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "I've been out all day. The Lu family's parents must be worried. I have to go back and tell them."
Hearing his daughter call another man 'daddy', Ye Yiqing's heart was still a little sour. He had a problem called daughter control. However, nothing was more important than his daughter being alive. "You go. I will visit them in person tomorrow."
Ye Zhen took her father's arm and said with a smile, "Daddy, I'll go back first."
"Do you have anything else to say?" Ye Yiqing knew his daughter best. Seeing her spoiled appearance, he knew that she must have something to ask of him.
"Daddy, you … what did you say to him outside today?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice. What could make Mo Rongzhan's face become so bad? Her father must have said something very bad.
When Ye Yiqing heard that it really had something to do with Mo Rongzhan, he silently cursed that little bastard a hundred times in his heart. He smiled and said to his daughter, "I didn't say anything. I just asked him to go back. We don't have much food here, so we can't treat him to a meal."
"It's not that simple." Ye Zhen whispered, "You must have said something else."
If it was just chasing Mo Rongzhan away, his expression would definitely not be so ugly.
Ye Yiqing was already going crazy in his heart, yet he still pretended to be calm. "Yao Yao, don't let your imagination run wild. What else can I say to him? In any case, he's still the Emperor of Jin Kingdom. I only made it clear that I don't like him very much, nothing else."
Pooh! He really wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood at Mo Rongzhan. How did he make his daughter forgive him? Why was she still willing to speak up for him?
Ye Rou looked at Ye Yiqing suspiciously, feeling that things were not as simple as he made them out to be. "Really?"
Ye Yiqing snapped, "You're still speaking up for him. Have you forgotten how he used to treat your … sister?"
Because Man Qin and the others were around, Ye Yiqing couldn't let others know that Lu Yaoyao was Ye Zhen.
"I remember." Ye Rou nodded and whispered, "Daddy, he's really different now."
"Hong Ling, send your lady back." Ye Yiqing directly ordered Hong Ling. He didn't want to hear Mo Rongzhan's name at all.
Ye Zhen sighed in her heart. It seemed that it would not be so easy for her father to forgive Mo Rongzhan.
"Miss …" Hong Ling looked at Ye Zhen. She didn't know how the conversation between Ye Zhen and the master was going. Would the master believe that Ye Zhen was the same Ye Zhen as before?
"Let's go back first." Ye Zhen whispered, "Daddy, then I'll go."
Ye Yiqing waved his hand. "Go back quickly. Don't run off to meet someone."
"…"
After sending off his daughter, Ye Yiqing could not help but reveal a big smile on his face.
"Master, you seem to be in a good mood?" Man Qin stood beside him and asked softly.
Ye Yiqing smiled. "Of course I'm in a good mood after finding my daughter."
…
…
When Ye Zhen returned home, Lu Shiming and his wife were already waiting for her at home. They had already heard the news from outside that the Prime Minister of Dongqing was Ye Yiqing, so they were waiting for their daughter in the hall. They didn't know if their daughter had heard about it.
"Father, when I went to the Thousand Gold Shop today, I already … met with Father." Ye Zhen heard their inquiry and told them about her meeting with Ye Yiqing. "Father said that he would like to visit you at our home tomorrow."
Lu Shiming and Pei Shi looked at each other. They didn't expect Ye Yiqing to come to see them so soon.
"Yao Yao, you and Ye … Lord Ye met. Did you recognize each other?" Pei Shi asked. Looking at her daughter's vivid smile, she knew that she was in a good mood today. It seemed that she and Ye Yiqing had a good talk.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "I look the same as my sister. Father can recognize me at a glance."
Lu Shiming pondered for a moment. "It's good that you can recognize each other. We are also looking forward to meeting Lord Ye tomorrow."
In fact, Ye Zhen knew in her heart that Lu Shiming and his wife must have many questions to ask her. They wanted to know if she would leave with her father. They didn't ask, and she didn't dare to say it. Now, she didn't want to face this problem.
Not long after, Lu Xiangzhi returned from outside. After the family had dinner, Lu Shiming and Madam Pei returned to the house.
"Will Yao Yao go to Dongqing with Ye Yiqing?" Pei Shi asked Lu Shiming. This was a question she had been thinking about all night. If she didn't ask it, she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
Lu Shiming sighed in a low voice. "Even if she wants to go with Ye Yiqing, it's reasonable. After all, he is Yao Yao's biological father."
"So we're not her parents?" Pei Shi felt sad. She had already regarded Yao Yao as her own daughter. How could she be willing to give her daughter to others? "I just can't bear to part with Yao Yao. If I had known that Ye Yiqing would appear so soon, I would have married Yao Yao to the emperor as soon as possible. Then Ye Yiqing wouldn't be able to take her away."
"Even if Yao Yao is now the Empress, Ye Yiqing will still take her away." Lu Shiming whispered.
Pei Shi's eyes widened. "How is this possible? Why?"
"If I were Ye Yiqing, I would rather die than marry Yao Yao to the emperor." Lu Shiming said firmly. "I have lost one daughter. How can I bear to let another daughter suffer?"
