Upon seeing this, Ye Qingcheng also showed signs of tension and asked, "Father, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so much like Grandmother?"
"You...you...you all...no...we...our Duke's mansion wouldn't...have some kind of family history of hereditary disease, would it?"
"you…"
"Quick...quick...Granny...my father...is dying, quick...quickly order two coffins."
"Yes, Your Highness."
"You...you wretched girl...how could you...be so..."
at this time.
Ye Jizheng was so angry that he trembled all over. He pointed at Ye Qingcheng, but before he could finish speaking, he fainted.
"master…"
Upon seeing this, Aunt Liu immediately burst into tears.
"Zheng'er."
The old lady, who had fainted earlier, quickly sat up when she saw that Ye Jizheng had actually fainted and shouted.
Ye Qingcheng turned to look at the old lady.
"Ah? Grandmother, you're awake?"
"leaf…"
"Phew... thank goodness, thank goodness, you're alright."
“Granny, since Grandmother is alright, then… then we can order a coffin for my father first.”
Remember to bargain. That charitable institution outside the city is notorious for ripping people off. My father is an honest and upright official, so don't order anything too expensive to avoid gossip.
"You little bitch, what did you say?"
Before the old nanny could respond to Ye Qingcheng, Aunt Liu pointed at Ye Qingcheng and shouted angrily.
"Ah... Aunt Liu... Aunt Liu... so... so scary... Granny... I'm so afraid..."
Granny Hua originally wanted to scold Aunt Liu, but when she saw Ye Qingcheng putting on an act, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Then he strode over.
Snap... Ah...
A sharp crack followed by a scream.
Then, Aunt Liu was slapped to the ground by Granny Hua.
"Ah...you lowly servant...how dare you hit this lady?"
"Hmph, you lowly concubine, how dare you disrespect my princess? Slapping you is already being lenient."
"If you dare to insult my princess again, this old servant won't hesitate to torture you."
"You... Waaah..."
"Granny Hua..."
At this moment, the old lady roared angrily at Granny Hua.
Granny Hua turned to the old lady and said, "Old lady, my princess has been married into the royal family for six years and has not been home due to some matters. Now she is thinking of coming back to see you."
"I never expected you to treat my princess with such disrespect. This old servant will certainly report this to my lord upon my return."
"you…"
"Grandmother, Father, Mother..."
The old lady pointed angrily at Granny Hua, seemingly about to say something, but before she could utter a word.
A clear female voice came from behind them.
Everyone turned to look.
All I could see was...
The Crown Prince and Ye Qingyao walked towards them.
"Yao... Yao'er..."
When the old lady and Aunt Liu saw Ye Qingyao, it was as if they had seen a lifeline, and they cried out in despair.
When Granny Hua saw the two of them coming, she retreated to Ye Qingcheng's side.
This way.
Ye Qingyao heard the sound of them crying and quickly ran to Aunt Liu's side.
Upon reaching her, I saw a large handprint on her right cheek, which was slightly swollen.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
"Yao'er, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, your mother would have been beaten to death."
"Who? Who hit you?"
"It was her, that little bitch Ye Qingcheng, who made that lowly maid beside her beat my mother."
Aunt Liu pointed at Ye Qingcheng and said fiercely.
However, Aunt Liu had barely finished speaking.
Granny Hua snorted again: "Concubine Liu, you still dare to speak so recklessly? Do you want to be slapped again?"
"You lowly slave, how dare you?" Ye Qingyao demanded of Granny Hua with a vicious expression.
Then his gaze shifted to Ye Qingcheng.
"Ye Qingcheng, you idiot! You attacked me in my courtyard last time, and I haven't even settled the score with you yet."
"I never expected you to dare bring such a lowly servant to cause trouble in my mansion today. Are you courting death?"
"Your Highness, this old servant advises you to be careful with your words. Although you are the Crown Prince's concubine, you must still pay your respects to my Princess."
Undeterred by Ye Qingyao, Granny Hua directly revealed her identity.
"You lowly servant, I am speaking to Ye Qingcheng. What business is it of yours? You ill-mannered thing."
"Guards! Drag this old bastard away and beat him to death!"
"Heh! Ye Qingyao, how dare you speak so arrogantly? In front of me, you dare to call yourself 'this concubine'? Do you have the right to touch my people?"
"Am I qualified?"
At this moment, the Crown Prince slowly walked over.
Upon seeing this, everyone bowed to the Crown Prince.
Granny Hua also lowered her head and curtsied, saying, "This old servant greets Your Highness the Crown Prince."
"Sister-in-law, greetings to the Crown Prince." Ye Qingcheng also gave a slight curtsy.
"Hehe! Princess Han, you have quite the airs, daring to bring Granny Hua to the Duke's mansion to cause trouble."
"make trouble?"
"Could it be that the Prime Minister himself caused this scene?"
"Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving. Did the Crown Prince witness me causing trouble with his own eyes?"
"Hmph, isn't that obvious?"
"Oh! Does the Crown Prince mean that if you stand next to a dead person, then you are the one who killed them?"
"You...don't try to deny it, Princess Consort Han. Apart from you and Granny Hua, everyone else here is from the Duke's mansion. If it wasn't you causing trouble, were they fighting amongst themselves?"
"No, that slap from Aunt Liu was indeed delivered by Granny Hua."
