Ma held her breath and pinched her daughter-in-law Yin beside her.
"Useless thing. Look at others. Even in this situation, they still know how to respect their elders. Look at you, useless thing. You don't even know it's cold. Get me some clothes!" After saying that, he glanced at Ye Xinran.
Yin felt pain and understood what Ma meant.
She walked to Ye Xinran with a pitiful look on her face and said, "Sister-in-law, look, we are all young and healthy, so it's okay to get cold. But my mother-in-law is old! She is also your elder, and she can't stand the cold! Look! Can you lend my mother-in-law your cloak?"
Ye Xinran raised her eyebrows and said, "Your mother-in-law is not my mother-in-law! Take care of your mother-in-law yourself!"
Ye Xinran changed the subject. "Or is it that Aunt Ma is so old that she has the nerve to snatch my clothes?"
"Sister-in-law, how can you say that? My mother-in-law is my father's concubine. Not his aunt!"
"No, my family taught me that except for the mistress, everyone else is a concubine! They are all aunts!" Ye Xinran said.
She knew from the original owner's memory that this Ma was originally the cousin of the old prince and lived in the palace all year round. She climbed into the old prince's bed. She should have been a concubine, but the old prince's mother liked her niece very much and insisted on making her a concubine. The old prince couldn't stand the pressure from his mother and gave her the position of concubine, but did not ask the royal family for a title. So it was just an empty title, and no one outside the palace recognized her. Moreover, this Ma relied on the power of the old lady and did not take the old princess seriously.
"You," Ma was furious, her finger trembling as she pointed at Ye Xinran. "You are so unfilial. Since you married the prince, I am still your stepmother after all! How dare you do this!"
"I am the princess! This is the first time I hear that I have to be filial to a concubine. What a joke! Aren't you afraid of shortening your life?" Ye Xinran ignored her and walked to the old princess and said.
"My prince's mother is the old princess! His father is the old prince! I just need to be filial to them!" After saying this, he looked at the old princess Shen and blinked!
Shen was helpless, frowned, took Ye Xinran's hand and patted it.
"Good boy! You are right! Don't take other irrelevant people to heart!"
Shen was very happy. The little girl had really hit the nail on the head! That Ma was really a shameless person. She asked her daughter-in-law to be filial to her, so wouldn't her son also have to be filial to her? What's the point of fighting for it!
Ma was so angry that her eyes turned red. She grabbed the old prince's arm and shook him.
"Master, are you just going to watch them bully me like this?" He said this shyly, shedding tears silently.
Ye Xinran vomited when she saw it!
"Aunt, you are forty years old and still act coy! It's really offensive! You will make father vomit his dinner! I don't know if he will have food to eat in the future! You'd better save your energy!"
The old prince withdrew his arm awkwardly and didn't look at Ma.
Ma looked at her empty hands and gritted her teeth in hatred.
Ye Xinran took out a small cup from her bag and opened the lid. It was filled with steaming bird's nest. She handed it to Shen.
"Mom, you must be hungry and cold. Eat something quickly to warm yourself up!" After saying that, he took out a small spoon from his bag and handed it to her.
Shen was very surprised when she saw the bird's nest in her hand. She was extremely satisfied with her daughter-in-law.
The people next to me also stared with wide eyes, looking at me with envy. My stomach growled unconsciously. It's already midnight! I'm so hungry!
Ma was still feeling hot after being told that, and now seeing Ye Xinran's actions, she was furious and twisted Yin's arm hard.
Yin was furious, but she could only bear it. She cursed Ma secretly, saying that she had no ability to deal with Ye Xinran, so she came to torture her. She looked at her husband Gu Yanxu.
Gu Yanxu turned his head away and didn't look at her.
Yin became even more angry.
The old prince watched Shen eating bird's nest slowly and envious, and coughed lightly as a reminder.
Ye Xinran curled her lips, took out another cup from her bag, opened the lid, and inside was soft-shelled turtle, wolfberry and lily soup. She then took out a spoon and handed it all to the old prince.
"Father, you must be tired too! Eat something quickly!"
The old prince took it. Even with the scene around him, he felt warm in his heart.
"Sister-in-law, is there anything else?" Gu Yanlin, who had been silent, asked embarrassedly. He was a scholar and was weak. He had been standing for so long and hadn't eaten dinner! He was already a little overwhelmed.
Ye Xinran had no choice but to take out an oil-paper bag from her bag, opened it, and found snacks inside.
"Let's share these snacks!" He handed them to Gu Yanxin. "Fifth sister, share them with everyone!"
Gu Yanxin was indeed hungry, so she took it without delay and shared it with her brothers and sisters.
"Have some!" Gu Yanxin handed over a plum blossom pastry.
Ye Xinran shook her head, "I'm not hungry, you guys eat!"
Gu Yanxin pouted and took it back awkwardly. Soon the snacks were all distributed.
With the sound of clattering footsteps, Li Yang and his men came back with a ferocious look.
Ye Xinran raised an eyebrow.
Li Yang had a dark face the whole time. He quickly drew out his sword and put it against the old prince's neck.
"Tell me, why are the palace's treasuries empty? Where did all the money go?"
The old prince was startled, and the cup and spoon in his hands fell to the ground. The soup spilled all over the floor. His face looked very ugly.
"Li Yang, you..."
When no one reacted.
Ye Xinran quickly pulled out a stick, quickly opened Li Yang's sword, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner.
"You came here suddenly and forced everyone here. The warehouse is empty. We even suspected that you were stealing from the company!"
Ye Xinran narrowed his eyes slightly, with a stern face, holding a stick in his hand, and looked straight at Li Yang!
Li Yang was startled. He did not expect to see the fierce aura of a battlefield general in this little girl who was only about fifteen years old. As a result, he forgot to ask her to open his sword.
"The confiscation of my palace and my exile were sudden events. How could we have predicted it? Transferring my property!" Gu Yanlin said angrily as he stood beside Ye Xinran.
"If my palace has such great power, how could we be caught by you here!" Gu Yanxin also said.
Li Yang then withdrew his gaze, glanced at a few people, and shouted loudly.
"Now, everyone, leave the house."
When these words came out, everyone was stunned. When they realized what was happening, they were all filled with sorrow.
Shen couldn't help crying. The old prince sighed, supported Shen, and walked out. Everyone was in a complicated mood. Slowly followed.
At the door, the onlookers automatically made way.
"It's dawn!"
I don't know who said that.
Everyone saw that although the sun had not risen in the distance, there was already light on the horizon.
Ye Xinran looked at the first sunrise since arriving in ancient times and sighed: The sunrise seems to be free from all evil, but in fact it hides sharp saltpeter in the shade.
