"You're not angry, are you?"
"What if?"
"There are no 'ifs'. You are the Crown Prince, and you are known for your magnanimity. How could you possibly get angry over such a trivial matter?"
The Crown Prince gave Fang Ruotang a complicated look.
Fang Ruotang pouted and said unhappily, "You're not really angry, are you? But when I mentioned her just now, you didn't even remember who she was, which shows that you don't dislike her that much. She's just a stranger to you."
The Crown Prince felt that he couldn't explain things to Fang Ruotang.
The two of them were not on the same wavelength. His disappointment stemmed from the fact that Fang Ruotang would not be swayed by his feelings.
For the first twenty years of his life, the Crown Prince had never felt this way, but after meeting Fang Ruotang, he knew that his retribution had come.
“I’m not angry. You are the sect leader of Tianyi Sect. You can bring anyone into the sect as you wish.”
Wei Ruoyao was insignificant to him, and he didn't care.
He simply wanted Fang Ruotang to reciprocate his equally ardent feelings, but as things stand, it seemed like a long and arduous journey.
Fang Ruotang glanced at the Crown Prince and saw that he indeed had no aversion to Wei Ruoyao, but she still couldn't help but say a few nice words to her.
"She is a really special girl. You didn't like her before because you didn't understand her. After you meet her a few more times, you will definitely like her."
The crown prince listened perfunctorily.
In through the left ear and out through the right.
He wanted to live a few more years and didn't want to die young, leaving the opportunity to his rival.
The next morning, the court session began.
Fang Ruotang went to court with the Crown Prince.
Prime Minister Fang glared at the Crown Prince several times.
Although he has come to terms with some things, his deeply ingrained ideas from decades ago still have some influence.
But looking at my granddaughter jumping around like that, she could probably kill several wild boars.
Prime Minister Fang then realized that the two had not done anything out of line the previous night.
It wasn't just Prime Minister Fang; the young prince and Vice Minister Ye also kept their eyes glued to Fang Ruotang.
The commotion caused by the Crown Prince yesterday was so great that the two of them stayed in their residence and didn't dare to go out.
Although they were both virgins, they had no experience in matters of the sexes.
However, this did not affect their judgment, after all, the pleasure they felt from their bodies yesterday.
It wasn't the kind of cathartic release that comes with it.
But after all, she is the person I cherish most in my heart.
Without seeing it with your own eyes, the heavy weight in your heart can never be truly lifted.
"The things you bought yesterday are still at my residence. Why don't you come back with me to get them later?"
Before the Emperor arrived, Ye Wuxia ignored the Crown Prince's warning and approached Fang Ruotang.
Fang Ruotang agreed without hesitation.
But then it suddenly occurred to her that she seemed to have never really learned anything about the other members of the Ye family.
"But who else is in your family? Surely there isn't someone like Old Madam Huo who doesn't like me? If so, I won't go."
Having already been given the cold shoulder once, Fang Ruotang didn't want to be given the cold shoulder a second time in such a short time.
"No, I live alone."
"Um?"
"My parents have passed away, my sister is married, and my other relatives are all in our hometown. We don't keep in touch much."
"Ah, oh!"
Fang Ruotang felt a little embarrassed for touching on Ye Wuxia's sore spot.
"My parents passed away from a cold after I passed the imperial examination."
"I see!"
Fang Ruotang was even more embarrassed, because if she remembered correctly, Ye Wuxia had passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve.
That's because they lost their parents at a very young age.
Fang Ruotang looked at Ye Wuxia with pity, her gaze softening unconsciously.
Ye Wuxia had no intention of playing the victim.
However, seeing Fang Ruotang like this, a warm feeling washed over me.
"You only have one older sister?"
"Yes, my sister is seven years older than me. When she got married, I had not yet achieved any official rank. She married a small merchant in our county. It's been four or five years since I last saw her."
How is Sister Ye doing now?
[Not good at all; she gets a minor beating every three days and a major beating every five days from her brother-in-law.]
【Huh? No! Is he crazy? Doesn't he know how high a position the Vice Minister of Revenue is?】
[Even the highest-ranking official is no match for a local tyrant! Besides, after Ye Wuxia passed the imperial examination and stayed in the capital, he never went back. Doesn't that mean his sister has no family to rely on? Of course, she's at the mercy of others.]
Fang Ruotang's eyes nearly popped out; she just felt that Ye Wuxia's brother-in-law must have some serious illness!
Such short-sightedness?
Ye Wuxia's gentle smile gradually faded, and her dark expression gave off a menacing aura, as if a storm was brewing.
“Well, we’re getting married soon, so why don’t we bring my sister to the capital?” Fang Ruotang tugged at Ye Wuxia’s official robes and spoke very softly.
"Okay!" Ye Wuxia clenched her fist, her mind filled with memories of her older sister's gentle appearance when they were children.
Does Sister Ye have children?
[She has a daughter whose situation is very similar to Ye's mother's. After giving birth to a daughter, she didn't conceive for many years because she couldn't have a son. As a result, it was very difficult for Ye's sister in her husband's family, especially last year when her husband took a concubine, who gave birth to a son.]
[Hmm? That concubine's son definitely isn't Brother-in-law Ye's! Someone as disgusting as her will ultimately end up with nothing, raising someone else's son for nothing.]
No, you guessed wrong this time. The concubine gave birth to Brother-in-law Ye's son, and now she's pregnant again, and this time it's another son.
Fang Ruotang: ...
[But even if he took a concubine and had a son, there was no need for him to beat Sister Ye, was there?]
