Chapter 140: The Young Lady Who Married to Another Family VS the Disabled Prince
This sentence successfully made Minister Ye's face darker. When Ye Zhenzhen walked in, he took a quick look and found that Lu Zhiyan was not there. He directly grabbed a teacup and smashed it at Ye Zhenzhen's feet.
boom!
The scalding tea instantly splashed onto Ye Zhenzhen's shoes. She subconsciously took a step back and cried out, "Ah!"
The little fox frowned. Old Deng was really cruel. Her toes were so delicate. She had to soak them in fairy dew every night to keep them white and tender. What would happen if they were burned?
"Why are you returning home alone? What's the matter? Does the Prince's Mansion no longer want you?"
These words were spoken in an extremely cold and harsh tone. Although Ye Zhenzhen had been mentally prepared for the original owner's extremely partial father, the little fox still found it hard to bear being scolded like this all of a sudden.
She bent her knees slightly, then retorted in a sarcastic tone, "Father, the prince is not feeling well today. I'm afraid he's not suited to long-distance travel. Besides, he's a little frail. If he comes to our house and gets tormented in this environment, it won't be good for him."
Ye Wanwan immediately grasped the deeper meaning in Ye Zhenzhen's words. She deliberately provoked him, "Father, I think our mansion isn't good enough. I'm afraid the prince might hurt his noble body by visiting such a lowly place."
As she spoke, she sighed again, "As the saying goes, a dog doesn't despise a poor family, and a son doesn't despise an ugly mother. Why has your sister changed since marrying into the prince's mansion?"
These words, which were sharp but gentle, successfully angered Minister Ye.
His face was so gloomy that it seemed to be dripping with water. He slammed his hand heavily on the table and shouted directly, "Bring me my whip. Today, I will use the family law. I want to see whether you, the noble prince's consort, are still a member of my Ye family."
Aunt Zhou, who was standing by, showed joy in her eyes. She quickly winked at the maid, asking her to get the whip quickly.
Qiao'er quickly knelt down and begged, "Master, please forgive our wife. She didn't mean it. You can't use the family rules. If you do, I'm afraid my wife won't be able to bear it."
Minister Ye was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He cursed, "What can she not bear? This rebellious girl even disobeyed her father. What else can she not do?"
The maid was very efficient and quickly brought the whip.
This whip is very long, with uneven braided wires on it. It is actually a horse whip. Horse whips have always been used to whip animals, but Minister Ye actually wants to use it to enforce family rules.
Ye Zhenzhen thought that this "bad dad" must be crazy.
The system also asked worriedly, "Stupid fox, do you want me to get you a pain-relieving pill or something?"
The fox smiled slightly, "No, he can't be beaten today."
system:"???"
"Rebellious girl!" Minister Ye shouted, "Get down on your knees!"
Ye Zhenzhen stood motionless. She raised her eyes to look at Minister Ye, her tone calm, "Father, have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"
Minister Ye was so angry that he was fuming. He didn't care about the consequences at all. He just wanted to teach Ye Zhenzhen a lesson.
He raised the whip in his hand high and swung it towards Ye Zhenzhen with all his strength, and the whip was about to land on Ye Zhenzhen.
The closed door was suddenly pushed open, and a cold voice came from the door.
"Minister Ye is so arrogant that he actually dared to attack the Crown Prince's Consort. Doesn't he take our Crown Prince's Mansion seriously?"
Minister Ye was startled, and the whip did not fall in the end.
He looked up at the door, a hint of displeasure flashed across his eyes, and asked respectfully, "Why is the prince here?"
"If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have seen this wonderful show." Lu Zhiyan came to Ye Zhenzhen's side, looked her up and down, and after confirming that she was not injured, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked her, "Didn't you say you would wait for me? Why did you go back home first and end up like this?"
As he spoke, he took Ye Zhenzhen's hand, frowned, and looked at Qiao'er, "How do you take care of the Crown Prince's Consort? Why are her hands so cold?"
Ye Zhenzhen didn't expect him to come back and was stunned for a moment. Then she received his hint and burst into tears instantly. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief weakly.
"Sir, it's all because of my incompetence. I originally thought that father would not give me any trouble for the sake of the Prince's Mansion. Now it seems that I was overthinking it."
She immediately started to talk and cry, and while she was talking, she secretly glanced at Minister Ye, and then she successfully saw her father's face, which was so ugly that it couldn't be uglier.
Upon hearing this, Minister Ye hurriedly explained, "Sir, actually, things are not like that..."
How could Ye Zhenzhen give him a chance? She immediately looked at Ye Wanwan again and cried, "Sister, I know that the prince has difficulty moving around, but you saying it out loud like this and humiliating me with words at the door is too much."
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with fear, and she trembled with fear, like a pitiful little white rabbit, lying beside the prince's wheelchair, wanting to say something but stopping herself. "Normally, a father would scold his daughter a few times to vent his anger, and that would be fine. But now, he is a member of the prince's mansion, and he should at least give him some respect."
"And my sister..." She looked at Ye Wanwan and complained, "In the past, I tolerated whatever you said about me. But how can I, your sister, humiliate the Prince's Mansion by talking about it? You can't lose your sense of propriety and respect."
Ye Wanwan looked at Ye Zhenzhen in front of her in shock. She didn't expect Ye Zhenzhen to be such a good actress. All the little fights she and Aunt Zhou had in the mansion were nothing but a show of skill in front of her.
"Sister, when did I ever say that..." Ye Wanwan was about to defend herself in a hurry, "I didn't..."
"enough!"
Lu Zhiyan interrupted Ye Wanwan. His eyes were icy, and his tone was several degrees colder. He said, "This prince had no idea that the Ye family was so disparate in terms of status. A legitimate daughter was actually bullied to this extent at home. This makes this prince wonder if Minister Ye favored his concubine over his wife, which led to the early death of the late wife."
As he spoke, Lu Zhiyan stared at Minister Ye with a cold gaze and continued to question him, "Minister Ye, you treated the Crown Prince's Consort so humiliatingly. Are you dissatisfied with our Duke's Mansion? If all these things were reported to the higher-ups, I wonder if you would still be able to keep your position as Minister. By the way, if Prince Wenxuan knew about this, I wonder what he would think?"
"I dare not..." Minister Ye's legs softened with fear, and he quickly knelt down, repeating in fear, "I dare not. Please understand, Your Highness, I will never dare to have any other thoughts."
Seeing this, Ye Wanwan felt a tightness in her chest. She turned around and saw Song Qingjin with his head down, pretending to be a coward.
So, she was so angry that she pushed Song Qingjin hard, and cursed in a low voice, "Are you a piece of wood?"
