Ye Ruoyu knew that her parents were really angry, so she straightened her back, knelt obediently on the ground, and lowered her head.

"Father, Mother, I was just telling the truth. I didn't mean to upset you. Please calm down, calm down, and don't be angry."

"Waaah, Mom and Dad, I'm so sorry, she can't and dares not talk about her past life."

hiss--

Madam Ye had a terrible headache and grabbed Prime Minister Ye's hand. "Husband, I can't take it anymore! I'm about to be driven to my death by your daughter!"

Prime Minister Ye was startled. Forgetting his own anger, he quickly tried to appease Madam Ye.

“My lady, anger is bad for your health. Don’t get upset. Come, follow me. Let’s take a deep breath first, then exhale slowly. Take a deep breath, then exhale…”

After repeating this deep breathing exercise several times, the couple's emotions gradually stabilized.

There's no other way; instability won't work.

They couldn't count on their clueless daughter at all; they just hoped she wouldn't say anything so shocking again.

Madam Ye sighed wearily, then looked at Ye Ruoyu with a complicated expression before finally speaking.

"Tell me! How far have your feelings for that boy named Shenyang progressed?"

Ye Ruoyu blushed and said shyly, "Um, Mom and Dad, I'm a girl... I..."

Madam Ye immediately frowned and snorted coldly, "Ye Ruoyu, speak like a human being!"

Ye Ruoyu's lips twitched, and she looked up at Madam Ye with a pitiful expression, her eyes full of accusation.

Hmph, she hasn't even had a proper performance yet!

Madam Ye said irritably, "Your father and I know exactly what kind of person you are, yet you're pretending to be shy now."

Ye Ruoyu: My mother really understands her.

Prime Minister Ye wanted to say a few good words for his daughter, but he was afraid of upsetting his wife and having to spend a long time alone in his room.

After thinking about it, I decided to keep quiet.

Ye Ruoyu took a deep breath. Okay! It's time to watch her perform. So she closed her eyes and shouted loudly:

"Father and Mother, I am deeply in love with Shenyang and have long vowed to marry no one but him in this life. I beg you to grant me your blessing."

Prime Minister Ye and his wife were stunned for a moment, then rubbed their ears, which had been disturbed by Ye Ruoyu's loud and boisterous shout.

Madam Ye glared at Ye Ruoyu with annoyance. "Hmph, so you're saying you won't marry anyone but him! What? Do you actually want to marry Shenyang and make him a live-in son-in-law?"

Ye Ruoyu nodded proudly, "Yeah, as long as he's willing, I'm not incapable."

"You..." Madam Ye's chest heaved, clearly angered by her daughter.

Seeing this, Prime Minister Ye could only gently pat Madam Ye's back with one hand and hold her hand tightly with the other, saying, "Madam, don't be angry. Let me handle this matter."

Madam Ye nodded wearily. Her daughter had the power to infuriate people to death; she couldn't afford to offend her.

After receiving approval, Prime Minister Ye pretended to be serious and said to Ye Ruoyu, "Ruoyu, since you like Shenyang, your mother and I choose to respect your decision."

The most important thing now is to find him. You can't just wait for him to come looking for you, right?

Ye Ruoyu nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, Father is wise, Father is right."

"but……"

Prime Minister Ye changed the subject, his tone becoming serious, "If Shenyang already has a family or someone he likes, you must ensure that you do not pester him or rush to become his concubine."

If you disregard propriety, righteousness, and shame, and insist on doing those morally corrupt things, then don't blame your mother and me for disowning you as our daughter.

He does love his daughter, but he has his own bottom line, and the bottom line of human ethics and morality must never be crossed.

Ye Ruoyu frowned and nodded solemnly.

"Dad, don't worry. Your daughter has strong moral values ​​and dislikes ruining other people's relationships. Naturally, she won't become the kind of person she hates."

Prime Minister Ye breathed a sigh of relief and looked at his daughter with admiration. "That's more like it, but you must remember what you just said."

"Yes, my daughter keeps her word."

Ye Ruoyu then grinned and looked at her parents with a fawning expression, "Um, Mom and Dad, my knees hurt so much from kneeling, can I stand up now?"

"Ahem!" Prime Minister Ye glanced at his wife discreetly, and seeing that she didn't speak, he then allowed Ye Ruoyu to stand up.

"Ruoyu, there is no time to lose. Your marriage is of utmost importance. Have the painter paint a portrait of Shenyang, and I will immediately send people to find his whereabouts."

We can't wait until our daughter is old and faded before she's still unmarried!

Ye Ruoyu's eyes lit up immediately. "Alright, Father, I'll go find the painter right away."

After saying that, he dashed out of the hall, leaving the couple staring at each other in bewilderment.

Alas, daughters are gone once they grow up!

——

Chaozhou Kingdom, Imperial City.

The Wen family, the first imperial merchant family.

Mr. and Mrs. Wen stared intently at their daughter, who lay on the bed, pale and unconscious, their eyes filled with deep worry and anxiety.

The woman on the bed was none other than Wen Lengyu, the girl Yu Guangliang liked.

In her previous life, when Wen Lengyu was still a child, she was abandoned by her parents who favored boys over girls and was sent to an orphanage by a kind person, which saved her from dying on the street.

In her past life, she never enjoyed her parents' love, which became her regret and an unattainable expectation.

Perhaps it was God's mercy that I was able to live this life.

This led her to join the Wen family.

The Wen family only had one daughter, and they treated her like the apple of their eye, afraid that she would melt in their hands.

Having grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth and being pampered by her parents, she once thought she was the happiest person in the world.

But she never forgot to look for Sheng Lingwei and the others. Fortunately, the Wen family was large and powerful, and over the years they had managed to find out the whereabouts of many of her brothers and sisters.

She originally planned to take her family to the Northern Qi Kingdom to seek refuge with her boss, Sheng Lingwei.

But what they didn't expect was that the Wen family had already been targeted by the royal family, especially those disgusting princes.

They were plotting to marry her as a concubine so that they could seize the Wen family's wealth, since she was their only daughter.

Ha, that's like a toad trying to eat swan meat, dreaming!

She wouldn't even give a second glance to the principal wife, let alone a concubine.

When it comes to relationships, she's extremely fastidious.

He detested polygamy the most, especially since those princes were greedy, lustful, morally despicable, and ugly, with their harems filled with women.

Where do they get the audacity to covet her?

They just rely on their royal status and think that the people of Chaozhou should be at their mercy.

Ah, she refuses to accept her fate, and she will never accept it.

Fortunately, a month ago, she had already sent someone to seek help from her boss. Once her boss knew about her predicament, he would definitely come to her rescue.
