Chapter 127: The Young Lady Who Married to Another Family VS the Disabled Prince
You know, in his previous life, Lu Zhiyan almost always stayed in his own yard and never went out. Why would he come here today?
Even if someone comes, it should be Lu Zhiang who comes. What’s the point of him coming?
Minister Ye was the first to react. He quickly adjusted his expression and stepped forward to bow respectfully. "Your humble servant greets His Highness. I was not aware of your visit and am sorry for not welcoming you. I am truly disrespectful."
As he said this, he secretly winked at the butler.
The butler immediately understood and served Lu Zhiyan tea and snacks.
After Minister Ye sat down again, he turned his head and asked Lu Zhiyan.
"I wonder what instructions the prince has for you this time?"
The original marriage was between Ye Zhenzhen and Lu Zhiyan, but now the Ye family has changed it to Ye Wanwan and Lu Zhiang.
However, the Ye family did not dare to talk about this matter openly. When they exchanged brides in the previous life, they just quietly replaced the two brides.
Then, he made excuses, saying that the matter was a foregone conclusion and could not be changed.
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes fell on the marriage certificate on the table.
In the original owner's memory, there was a problem with the marriage certificate in the previous life.
The Ye family originally wanted to do something secretive and wrote the wrong name on the marriage certificate, thinking that once the two families exchanged the marriage certificates, everything would be settled.
If the Prince's Mansion investigates the matter at that time, he will just say that there was an error in the documents written in the Mansion and put all the blame on him.
Unexpectedly, the housekeeper sent by the prince's mansion was a smart one. He checked the marriage certificate carefully, which was unusual for him, and discovered the problem.
He immediately raised this issue in front of the Song family.
For a moment, everyone's faces turned ugly. Finally, after the steward of the Prince's Mansion pointed out the mistake, the name on the marriage certificate was changed back, and the matter was over.
Although the marriage certificate had not been changed, Ye Zhenzhen was "accidentally" sent to the Song Mansion's bridal sedan on the wedding day.
Seeing Lu Zhiyan, Aunt Zhou was also very panicked. She was fidgeting and kept wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, and glanced at the marriage certificate guiltily from time to time.
"Just now, I was confused and offended you, my lord. Please don't take it to heart."
The prince took a sip of tea with contempt in his eyes.
"In Minister Ye's residence, a concubine can actually show up in public and receive distinguished guests?"
"Your Highness, you're joking. My daughter lost control of her emotions today. Aunt Zhou is her biological mother, so it's inevitable that she loves her dearly. So, I'll give her a few words of advice before we go to the hall."
Minister Ye had a forced smile on his face. He quickly gave Concubine Zhou a look, ordering her to leave. After Concubine Zhou left, Minister Ye spoke again, asking, "I wonder what brings the prince here?" He had already asked this question, but the prince hadn't answered, and he was very nervous.
"The Prince's Mansion is offering a betrothal proposal today, so I just came to join in the fun. I'm also a little curious about who the Miss Ye who was originally going to be betrothed to this Prince is. Since she dislikes this Prince, I guess she must be quite pretty." There was a hint of sarcasm in Lu Zhiyan's words, and his cold tone was filled with a hint of harshness.
His eyes swept around the room and finally stopped on Ye Zhenzhen.
Ye Zhenzhen braved the cold gaze and walked forward, bowing and greeting.
"Ye Zhenzhen has met the Crown Prince. She feels wronged by what he just said. Zhenzhen is just a virgin girl. Her parents' orders and the matchmaker's words have been fulfilled. How could she dare to have other ideas?"
Ye Zhenzhen's tone was soft and she looked pitiful.
The original body had a soft temper and no ideas, so she naturally couldn't behave too outrageously.
Besides, Lu Zhiyan is a typical sharp-tongued person, and he is well-known for his harsh words. If you confront such a man head-on, there will be no good outcome.
There was a hint of coldness in Lu Zhiyan's eyes, and there was a hint of inquiry as he looked at the woman in front of him, the legitimate daughter who allowed her father and aunt to torment her.
She was wearing a flashy red dress, which particularly attracted his attention. Her delicate appearance, coupled with this visually impactful outfit, made him feel a little strange.
It is said that appearance reflects the heart. Miss Ye does not look like a weak and pitiful girl who can be bullied. Moreover, the reason why she came here today is because of her.
"Since Miss Ye has asked this, then I would like to ask you, if you could choose, who would Miss Ye want to marry?"
"Of course... My parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. I'll marry wherever my family tells me to." Ye Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, forced a fake smile, and finished these words slowly.
Of course she wanted to get it done in one go and marry Lu Zhiyan directly.
But, I just can’t say it.
Hearing this, Lu Zhiyan's eyes flickered with a hint of a smile. He looked meaningfully at Minister Ye and teased, "Minister Ye is truly a man of many talents. He's managed to raise his daughter to be even more obedient than the maids in the palace. It seems we should ask the animal trainer from the Crown Prince's residence to come and learn from Minister Ye someday, so that those beasts in the mansion can be brought to heel."
After he said this in a sarcastic tone, Minister Ye's old face almost couldn't hold back. Lu Zhiyan was clearly mocking him for disciplining his daughter like disciplining livestock.
But his status was noble, and he couldn't be offended, so he had to suppress his anger and said with a smile: "This humble official thought that if my daughter is lucky enough to marry into a wealthy family in the future, she must be more polite."
"Speaking of marriage..." Lu Zhiyan's eyes fell on the marriage certificate not far away, with a strange look in his eyes, "Why don't you bring the marriage certificate here, and I will be a witness."
Upon hearing this, Minister Ye immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He knew the trick in the marriage certificate and thought that the person who came was just a housekeeper. Even if he was discovered later, he could just get away with it.
Unexpectedly, Lu Zhiyan came in person and asked to see the marriage certificate.
Minister Ye, who had just been rebuked, was a little flustered. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Lu Zhiyan asked again: "Minister Ye, what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
In this situation, even though Minister Ye was reluctant, he could only slowly take the marriage certificate and then handed it to Lu Zhiyan, saying with a smile: "It is naturally good to have the prince witness it, and it is also my daughter's honor."
Lu Zhiyan took the marriage certificate, opened it, glanced at it briefly, and his eyes fell on the last name.
"I remember the young lady from your family who came to our prince's mansion to pick up the bride was named Ye Zhenzhen. When did she change her name to Ye Wanwan?"
"Sir, there's a mistake in the marriage certificate. It's a mistake in the marriage certificate." Upon hearing this, Ye Wanwan felt as if she had grasped a lifeline. She excitedly knelt down beside Lu Zhiyan and explained anxiously, "Sir, my name is Ye Wanwan, and I'm the second young lady of the mansion. My daughter wasn't originally destined to be with someone from the Duke's Mansion, but now I see there's a mistake in the marriage certificate. My name and my sister's name must have been mixed up. I hope Your Majesty will correct the mistake and allow our family to change the name back."
Ye Wanwan looked at Lu Zhiyan hopefully, waiting for his consent.
But Lu Zhiyan just fixed his gaze on Ye Zhenzhen who was not far away, and asked her, "What do you think?"
"My Lord, I believe that since this is God's will, we might as well make the best of it."
