Thinking this in her heart, Ye Xiaoxiao sighed deeply again.
However, when she saw Shangguan Lingyun who was waiting for her answer, Ye Xiaoxiao couldn't help but twitch her lips.
"Your Highness, don't you care what others think of you?"
"Besides, you are the crown prince of a country, do you still need the care of a little girl like me?"
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she wanted to turn her head away and stop looking at him, but Shangguan Lingyun forced her to look at him.
"Woman, this palace needs it."
After saying that, without waiting for Ye Xiaoxiao to react, he gave her a domineering kiss.
After a long time, Ye Xiaoxiao impatiently pushed away the slightly crazy Shangguan Lingyun.
"Shangguan Lingyun, don't push your luck. I haven't even settled the score with you yet for telling the Empress about the child."
Shangguan Lingyun smiled wickedly and looked at Ye Xiaoxiao with a playful expression.
"Oh, how are you going to settle your score with me?"
Looking at Shangguan Lingyun's burning eyes staring at her, Ye Xiaoxiao felt a little annoyed.
"From now on, you are not allowed to come to my yard without my permission. Otherwise, I will poison you every time I see you."
Shangguan Lingyun laughed, "Thanks to you, I am now immune to all poisons."
Ye Xiaoxiao: “…”
Seeing that the hard approach didn't work, Ye Xiaoxiao had to use the soft approach.
"Shangguan Lingyun, you are plotting against Prince Yu this time. I'm sure both your father and Prince Yu will be keeping an eye on you."
"If they find out that you often come in and out of my yard, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble."
"So, recently, it's better for you not to show up at my place so often."
"Even if you don't think about yourself and me, you should think about the baby in your belly."
Seeing Ye Xiaoxiao soften her tone, Shangguan Lingyun's eyes flashed with hesitation.
"Forget it. I promised to accompany you to the Lantern Festival tonight. Whether to come or not, we can talk about it later."
Ye Xiaoxiao had no choice but to change into a light set of men's clothes at Shangguan Lingyun's urging.
In order to avoid being recognized by others, the two of them dressed up simply and then quietly left the side yard.
In the front yard, after Ye Xinxin and Ye Xiaoxiao left one after another, Ye Pengcheng and Mrs. Ye immediately called their four sons to the study.
Mrs. Ye briefly told everyone what she had heard from Ye Xiaoxiao today.
Ye Fan frowned, "The child in Xiaoxiao's belly is actually the prince's?"
"However, why did the prince appear in such a remote place and have such a thing happen with Xiaoxiao?"
Ye Rong was still a little slow to react, so he didn't say anything.
Ye Chang keenly discovered something.
"Brother, do you still remember what Xiaoxiao said today when she heard you say you were waiting for Xinxin?"
When Ye Fan heard this, he blushed immediately, "What brain are you talking about?"
Ye Chang shook his head, "No, it's the book club."
"Xiaoxiao seems to know a lot about your work in the book club."
"And I noticed that Xiaoxiao's tone seemed to change when she mentioned the book club."
Ye Fan was puzzled. "The whole capital knows about my affairs in the book club. It's not surprising that Xiaoxiao knows about it."
Ye Chang shook his head, "No, brother, think about it, when was the book club established?"
Before Ye Fan could speak, Ye Rong spoke first.
"I remember this. It appeared not long after Xiaoxiao came back."
Ye Chang nodded and continued.
"Yes, the books in this book club contain a lot of complicated content. It doesn't seem like they were written by the same person."
"Moreover, each of his books is written very brilliantly, and in our Great Xia, such talents have not appeared in recent years."
Ye Sheng frowned upon hearing this and continued, "That's right, these books seemed to appear out of thin air."
"I still remember that when Xiaoxiao first came here, she said that we were in a world in a book, and she was not from this world."
"Xiaoxiao appeared out of nowhere with that system, and then the book club appeared."
"Moreover, when the book club encountered difficulties, before my eldest brother informed the owner, the owner sent the prince to solve the problem directly."
"Although we don't know much about the prince, we have never heard of him collaborating with anyone over the years."
"And the prince did say that this book club doesn't belong to him."
"If it's true as Xiaoxiao said, that her child is the prince's, and the prince visits her side courtyard every day, then..."
After Ye Sheng finished speaking, everyone in the Ye family was shocked.
"Fourth brother, do you mean that the book club might belong to Xiaoxiao?"
Ye Sheng nodded, and Ye Chang looked at everyone in disbelief.
"If the book club really belongs to Xiaoxiao, then what about the bank?"
Ye Pengcheng shook his head.
"I don't know if the bookstore belongs to Xiaoxiao, but the bank definitely doesn't belong to Xiaoxiao."
"Tianji Bank has existed for many years. If the bank really belonged to Xiaoxiao, she wouldn't have such a hard time."
Before Ye Pengcheng took Ye Xiaoxiao back, he had already checked her background.
She had a hard life since she was a child, and she had no outstanding qualities.
It was only after she was abused that she suddenly seemed like a different person.
Ye Pengcheng couldn’t figure it out before, but now he thinks it might be related to the prince.
After listening to Ye Pengcheng's words, Ye Sheng nodded in agreement.
"That's right, the owner behind Tianji Bank is incredibly powerful, and it's not something Xiaoxiao can do."
"Besides, Xiaoxiao herself couldn't even eat enough or wear warm clothes before, so she had no ability to help others."
"However, speaking of helping the people, Tianji Bank always provides porridge to the people during the New Year."
