Ye Pengcheng took a few quick steps, came to Ye Xinxin's side, and asked worriedly.
"Xinxin, what's wrong? Could it be that the gift Daddy gave doesn't suit the prince's taste?"
Ye Xinxin forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Daddy. The prince likes it very much. After receiving it, he asked the butler to put it in the warehouse."
Upon hearing this, Ye Pengcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He had calculated early on that Prince Yu would not open the box in front of him, and now it seemed to be true.
But to be on the safe side, he asked again.
"Didn't the prince open the box to see if he liked what was inside?"
Ye Xinxin shook her head, "The prince was not feeling well, and he said that since it was sent by Daddy, it must be excellent, so he sent it directly to the warehouse."
Ye Pengcheng was completely relieved now, and then looked at Ye Xinxin pretending to be puzzled.
"Since the prince is happy, why are you still unhappy?"
Ye Xinxin sighed, and then told Ye Pengcheng how the prince plotted against Shangguan Yu.
Upon hearing this, Ye Pengcheng pretended to be very angry.
"This Crown Prince is really going too far. How can he treat his own brother like this?"
Ye Xinxin immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, Daddy, this prince is going too far."
"Father, Xinxin wants to ask you to report the Crown Prince in the court and have His Majesty punish him severely."
The corner of Ye Pengcheng's mouth twitched slightly. Ye Xinxin was really bold. She actually asked him, a general, to impeach the emperor's son.
I thought so in my heart, but said it with embarrassment.
"Xinxin is right, but as a military commander, Daddy can't just report these things casually."
"Otherwise, if His Majesty thinks we have rebellious intentions, then our Ye family will be in trouble."
"In the future, not only will I be unable to help Prince Yu, but your relationship with Prince Yu may also implicate Prince Yu."
When Ye Xinxin heard that Prince Yu would be implicated, she quickly changed her words.
"Ah, Xinxin was so ignorant that she almost hurt Daddy. It's all Xinxin's fault."
"Dad, just treat Xinxin as a momentary verbal vent, don't take it to heart. Everything should be based on our Ye family."
Ye Pengcheng nodded with satisfaction, and then continued.
"But Xinxin, don't worry. Although Daddy can't go and speak in person, I believe the Han family will seek justice for Prince Yu."
"If this matter is mentioned in the palace, Daddy will certainly help."
Ye Xinxin nodded, "Thank you, Daddy, you are so thoughtful."
"Dad, you've been busy all morning. You should go and have a rest. I'll take my leave now."
Ye Pengcheng smiled and nodded. After sending the person away, he returned to the study alone.
On the other side, when Madam Ye brought her children to the Duke's Mansion, the Qin family had been waiting for a long time.
When Qin Xue saw Ye Xiaoxiao behind Mrs. Ye, she was the first to rush forward.
"Cousin Xiaoxiao, you're finally here. Come on, I'll take you to see Grandfather."
Mrs. Qin looked at Ye Xiaoxiao apologetically and spoke in a gentle tone.
"Don't be offended, Xiaoxiao. This girl has been spoiled by us."
"Xiaoxue, your cousin is not feeling well, please be careful."
Qin Xue then remembered that Ye Xiaoxiao was still pregnant, and she stuck out her tongue at her embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, I'm just so happy to see my cousin."
Ye Xiaoxiao liked Qin Xue very much, so naturally she wouldn't blame her.
"No problem, let's go in together and pay our respects to Grandfather."
After Ye Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she followed the crowd and walked towards the Duke's Mansion with Qin Xue's careful support.
Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Qin were very happy watching the two people talking and laughing.
Everyone walked towards the Duke's Mansion together, and Qin Lei ran to Ye Fan and others with some curiosity.
"Cousin, this is cousin Xiaoxiao?"
The four of them nodded, and Qin Lei sighed unconsciously.
"I really didn't expect this. I thought cousin Xinxin was very beautiful, but unexpectedly, cousin Xiaoxiao is even more beautiful."
"At the last palace banquet, someone told me that the formerly ugly Miss Ye was actually a great beauty, but I was a little skeptical."
“Now it seems that, let alone being a beauty, even if it is the most beautiful woman in the capital, cousin Xiaoxiao is still qualified.”
"Alas! It's a pity that cousin Xiaoxiao is pregnant. Otherwise, it would definitely cause a bloody storm among the young masters in the capital."
Ye Fan and the other three all frowned, while Qin Lei was still talking non-stop about Ye Xiaoxiao's appearance.
The four of them didn't want to pay attention to him and walked towards the Duke's Mansion. Qin Lei talked for a long time, but when he saw that everyone had left, he immediately chased after them.
"Hey, cousin, wait for me!"
Qin Lei followed everyone to the reception hall of the Duke's Mansion, where the old Duke was already seated in the main seat.
Madam Qin and Madam Ye brought Ye Xiaoxiao to the old Duke.
"Xiaoxiao, this is your grandfather. Come and meet him."
Ye Xiaoxiao bowed respectfully to the Duke of Protectorate. The old man was very happy and took out a big red envelope from his arms.
"Good boy, you have suffered. In the future, if you are wronged, just come to grandpa and he will take care of it for you."
Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Madam Ye, who smiled faintly and nodded at her. Only then did Ye Xiaoxiao take the red seal.
"Thank you, Grandpa. Xiaoxiao is doing well. Daddy, Mommy, and my four brothers are all very kind to Xiaoxiao."
Upon hearing this, the old Duke smiled and nodded, "Good child, as long as you are happy, go play with Xiaoxue."
Just as Ye Xiaoxiao was about to leave, Qin Xue came up to the old Duke with a smile on her face.
"Grandfather is partial. He only gave the red seal to cousin Xiaoxiao and didn't give any to Xiaoxue."
