Outside the temporary east room next to the main hall, many guests had gathered. Although they all came to watch Ye Wanshu's coming-of-age ceremony, none of them was familiar to her.
Poor her, although she was the mistress of the Duke of Rong's Mansion in her previous life, after being affected by the incident at the coming-of-age banquet, she didn't even have the courage to leave the Mansion, let alone meet anyone.
Just as he glanced at the crowd with a serious expression, he suddenly heard a low voice coming from behind.
"Wanwan."
Ye Wanshu looked back and saw that the person coming was none other than her biological father Ji Yuan.
Unexpectedly, he arrived at the Duke's Mansion in less than two hours.
However, she knew clearly that her good father came in a hurry not because he cared about her coming of age, but because he wanted to stop the marriage.
As luck would have it, she also wanted to use this to escape from the Duke's Mansion.
However, my father's desire for control and selfishness are much stronger than my aunt's. If I want to take advantage of my father, I must be careful not to overthink it.
"Hello..." Ye Wanshu bowed and said thoughtfully, "Father."
Ji Yuan's thick eyebrows trembled, and in front of the guests, he smiled in a somewhat inappropriate manner: "Wanwan, what did you call me just now?"
Back then, that bitch would rather go to jail than break off all ties with me, causing the separation of father and daughter. My own daughter has refused to call him father for so many years.
Although he is now a high-ranking official, there are always people who criticize him for old things. Today, when he heard his daughter call him "father" in front of the nobles, Ji Yuan's vanity was greatly satisfied.
He excitedly held onto Ye Wanshu, his eyes filled with anticipation as he asked, "Wanwan, can you please call me again?"
Ye Wanshu's brows darkened as she quietly leaned into his arms, her tone deliberately softening. "Father, if you want to hear it, I'll call you every day from now on."
"She's such a good daughter to her father."
Ji Yuan patted her shoulder joyfully, and began to show off to the guests around him: "Today is the day my daughter comes of age, and I have come specially to attend her coming-of-age banquet."
Some people who were unfamiliar with Ji Yuan's family affairs looked at him in confusion and whispered, "Why would the daughter of the Prime Minister choose to hold her coming-of-age banquet at the Duke of Rong's mansion?"
Someone who knew the inside story sighed softly and hurriedly bowed to congratulate: "Congratulations to the Prime Minister's beloved daughter on her coming of age. May she have a bright future and be blessed with success."
"Thank you very much."
After the father and daughter accepted the congratulations from the guests, Ji Yuan impatiently led Ye Wanshu to the side room next door.
"Wanwan, your father already knows what those two bastards did in the brothel."
Sitting down angrily at the coffee table, Ji Yuan said straight to the point, "You have also seen the ugly face of this family. Your father has already chosen a marriage for you. As long as you come home with your father, your father will surely let you enjoy endless wealth and glory for the rest of your life."
