"Your Highness, should I investigate and find out who deliberately came out to smear the Princess?"
"No need. I think the Princess knows these things herself, and she is probably waiting for an opportunity."
"Wait for an opportunity?"
"Alright! Steward Wang, you can go back now! I'll stay in the Cold Courtyard tonight."
"Yes, Your Highness." "By the way, Your Highness, didn't this old servant remember that the Princess and the others mentioned the young prince during their conversation? Why haven't we seen him?"
Qin Mohan shook his head: "I'm staying here to see where the Princess Consort has hidden my son."
After hearing this, Steward Wang nodded: "Then this old servant will return to the manor first."
"kindness!"
After Steward Wang left.
Qin Mohan then sat alone in the courtyard, waiting for Ye Qingcheng and the others to come out.
In no time at all.
Xiao Xin opened the door first, probably to see if Qin Mohan and Butler Wang had left.
But she never expected this.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Qin Mohan sitting in the courtyard, and after hearing the door open, he looked up at her.
At that moment, Xiao Xin trembled all over, unsure whether to close the door and go back inside, or not to close the door at all.
However, just after she paused for a moment, Ye Qingcheng's voice came over.
"Xiao Xin, how is it? Has that dog prince left yet?"
"Miss...Miss Wang..."
"Your Highness, how dare you call me a dog!"
Before Xiao Xin could finish her trembling words, Qin Mohan's cold snort entered the room.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng's expression faltered slightly.
What... what is Qin Mohan up to? He hasn't left yet.
Xiao Tao and Xiao Cui, however, felt a lingering fear.
Oh no, oh no! The princess called the prince a dog, and he heard it! The princess is definitely going to be punished now.
"Miss, what should we do?" Xiao Tao asked, very frightened.
Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and finally suppressed her panic.
"Let's go out and see. Do you think I'm afraid of Qin Mohan?"
After saying that.
He stood up and quickly walked out of the house.
"Qin Mohan, why aren't you leaving? What are you doing here?"
Qin Mohan looked up at Ye Qingcheng and said, "This Cold Courtyard belongs to me. I can come and go as I please. Do I need the Princess's permission?"
"Fine, then give me a copy of the divorce papers, and I'll be leaving now."
"Divorce? Say that again?"
"Say it ten times and it's the same."
"In my kingdom, there is only widowhood, not divorce."
"You... Hmph, that's not up to you. In a few days, I'll go and ask the Emperor for permission."
"Do you think Father Emperor will agree if I disagree?"
"Oh! Then shall we make a bet?" Ye Qingcheng said with a smirk, her interest evident.
"A bet? Your Highness, what do you want to bet on?"
“Let’s make a bet. If I can get the imperial decree for divorce, then Yu’er will be mine.”
What do you think?
"Yu'er? You mean my son?"
"That's right."
Seeing that Ye Qingcheng had admitted it herself, Qin Mohan's lips curled up: "What if you can't get the imperial decree?"
"If I cannot obtain the imperial decree, you may simply divorce me."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan shook his head: "Remarriage? I have said before, I only have the option of widowhood."
"So...what do you want?"
"In that case, if you cannot obtain a decree, then you shall obey my every command."
"good."
Ye Qingcheng, perhaps because she was facing Qin Mohan, surprisingly agreed without a second thought, unlike the usually clever girl she is now.
Qin Mohan, on the other hand, smiled faintly, as if his wicked scheme had succeeded.
And at this time.
Ye Qingcheng frowned slightly when she saw Qin Mohan seem to be giving a sly smile.
However, she didn't think much of it and waited a moment later.
"Alright, now that we've reached an agreement, you can leave."
"I wish to see my son."
"Yu'er is not here."
"Not here? Where did they go?"
"I was taken to the palace by my father."
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan's expression instantly turned sour.
Seeing this, Ye Qingcheng glanced at Qin Mohan and said, "Don't be nervous. I've put a mask on Yu'er and asked Father not to reveal his identity."
Upon hearing this, Qin Mohan breathed a sigh of relief: "How long has he been in the palace?"
"It'll only be about half a month!"
"About half a month?"
"That's right."
"So, you sent him to the palace when you went to find the medicine?"
"You...you knew?"
"I really didn't know that I had married a divine physician."
"How...how did you know?"
"When we first met in the manor, after you learned that I was Qin Mohan, your eyes, tone, and words puzzled me greatly."
It wasn't until I investigated that I learned the woman that Qinglong brought to me six years ago was actually from your Duke's mansion.
Combining these points, and further investigating your identity as Doctor Ye, you appeared out of nowhere five years ago, becoming famous throughout the capital, yet there is no record of you.
So I suspected it was you, but it was just a suspicion, until you pretended to be crazy and smashed up the mansion.
"I've made up my mind, it must be you."
Ye Qingcheng was very annoyed after hearing this. She had acted impulsively that day in the Prince's mansion in order to stand up for the original owner of the body.
"Alright, now that you know, please leave!" "Xiao Tao, escort the prince out of the cold courtyard."
"etc!"
"kindness?"
"Who told the princess that I am leaving?"
