After finishing her sentence, Granny Hua turned to Qin Mohan and said, "Your Highness, as soon as this old servant and the Princess Consort arrived, Prime Minister Ye, the Old Madam, and Concubine Liu were very disrespectful to the Princess Consort."
“You lowly slave, you’re talking nonsense. When have we ever been disrespectful to that little wretch… to the princess? It was clearly her who insisted on putting on airs.”
As soon as Granny Hua finished speaking, Aunt Liu hurriedly began to make excuses.
"Hmph, so what if our princess is of noble status? Do you think you can disregard her status just because you are from her family?"
"you…"
"Prime Minister Ye, the Princess Consort has married me and is now my Princess Consort. Her status is recorded in the royal register, and she is a member of our royal family. How can you disregard her status and belittle the royal family? Are you showing contempt for my father, the Emperor?"
"This humble servant dares not..."
"snort…"
"Alright, Qin Mohan, there's no point in saying more. Help me get my mother's memorial tablet back."
"Has the Princess made a decision?"
Ye Qingcheng nodded.
“Yes! Since we’ve already severed ties, I have to take my mother with me. I can’t leave her here alone to be bullied by them.”
"Alright, Prime Minister Ye, where is the memorial tablet for the Princess's mother?"
“This…Your Highness, Lady Wen was my wife and was already registered in the clan of our Duke’s mansion. Although she has passed away, it is probably inappropriate for you to take her memorial tablet with you.”
“That’s right, Seventh Brother. This is their family matter. Even our noble royal family doesn’t seem to have the right to interfere, does it?”
"Your Highness, you are mistaken. Since I have married the Princess Consort, her mother is my mother-in-law, and her family affairs are naturally my responsibility."
"you…"
"Prime Minister Ye, is what I said reasonable?"
“This… Your Highness is right, but Lady Wen is my wife, and her name has long been registered. I have not divorced her.”
The memorial tablet has long been placed in our Duke's ancestral hall, so even if you are in the right, I will absolutely not allow you to take it away.”
"Hehe! Prime Minister Ye..."
"Alright, you can leave it. Then I'm going to offer incense to my mother now."
Qin Mohan was speaking when Ye Qingcheng interrupted him and spoke to Ye Jizheng.
now.
Ye Qingcheng also knew that, just as Ye Jizheng had said, he had not abandoned her, so the original owner's mother would always be his wife.
Just like herself, if she weren't the Princess Consort of Han, Qin Mohan's legal wife, she would have packed her bags and left long ago, instead of being trapped in the Cold Courtyard for so many years.
Now, her mother's situation is just like hers back then. As long as she is not divorced, she will always be Ye Jizheng's wife and will always be trapped in the Duke's mansion.
Therefore, even though Qin Mohan is a prince with a noble status, he cannot interfere in this matter at this moment.
So no matter what they say, it's useless as long as Ye Jizheng doesn't let go.
Of course, if Ye Jizheng had followed etiquette and properly placed her mother's memorial tablet in the ancestral hall, then she would have let it go.
But if, as Xiaotao suggested, it were thrown into an abandoned yard in the countryside...
No matter what, she will find a way to bring it back.
So she stopped Qin Mohan from interfering any further.
Qin Mohan turned to look at her, his face full of confusion.
Ye Qingcheng sighed: "Never mind, as long as he properly arranges the memorial tablets and enters the ancestral hall, it doesn't matter whether he takes them with him or not."
After listening, Qin Mohan nodded: "Alright, you decide for yourself. Whatever you want to do, I will do it with you."
"Thanks."
After Ye Qingcheng finished speaking, she looked at Ye Jizheng again.
"Prime Minister Ye, how about it? I won't take this concubine with me, but I'd like to offer incense. Is that alright?"
"Alright, if it's about offering incense, then so be it! Follow my lead!"
After saying that.
A large group of people then entered the Duke's mansion.
Led by Ye Jizheng, we arrived at the ancestral hall.
Ye Qingcheng saw that the original owner's mother's memorial tablet was still in the ancestral hall, and she and Qin Mohan each lit an incense stick.
After the two finished offering incense.
Ye Qingcheng then looked at Ye Jizheng.
"Prime Minister Ye, since you want to sever ties with us, then write a letter of severance!"
"A letter of severance of ties?"
“That’s right, didn’t you want to sever ties? Since you’re going to sever ties, let’s do it in writing, so that we won’t have any further entanglements in the future.”
"Hmph, fine, if that's how it is, then I'll grant your wish."
"Someone, bring me a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone."
Soon the servants brought pen, ink, and paper.
Ye Jizheng wrote a letter severing ties with his family.
The father and daughter each pressed their fingerprints.
Ye Qingcheng put away the letter severing ties with Qin Mohan and left the Duke's mansion.
On the carriage.
Ye Qingcheng and Qin Mohan sat facing each other, but Ye Qingcheng turned around, lifted the window curtain, looked outside, and remained silent.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Qin Mohan knew she was in great pain and wanted to comfort her, but he didn't know how. So he could only quietly watch her back.
soon.
Then they arrived at the Prince's Mansion.
Ye Qingcheng and Qin Mohan had just gotten off the carriage and had not yet entered the mansion.
At this moment.
"Brother Han, you're back."
A woman rushed out of the palace and called out to Qin Mohan with a playful smile, looking quite adorable.
Qin Mohan smiled slightly at the woman and nodded.
"Hmm? Brother Han, who is this?" The woman glanced at Ye Qingcheng beside her and asked.
"This is my queen."
"What? Princess? Brother Han, when did you... get a princess?" The woman's smile froze for a moment after hearing this, and then she asked.
Qin Mohan smiled and said, "Six years ago, I was ordered to marry, but I didn't make a fuss about it at the time."
