Chapter 963 Thoughts (2)
However, as the princess consort of Prince Rui’s mansion, Shen Miao still had to go and meet him.
In the main hall of the Prince's Mansion, Madam Ye was talking to Ye Ke. Ye Mei sat to one side, smiling slightly. Ye Maocai tilted his head slightly, as if saying something. Facing him, sitting in the main seat was Xie Jingxing.
Xie Jingxing was wearing a silver-purple robe. Perhaps because his injuries hadn't fully healed, he sat in a lazy and casual manner. He listened to Ye Maocai's words with a half-smile, but he couldn't tell what he meant.
When Shen Miao entered, Ye Mei was the first to see her. Ye Mei hurriedly stood up and saluted her. However, Ye Ke did not move. Now that they were children of the Ye family, their status had risen, so naturally they no longer needed to perform the same courtesy that a commoner would perform for a princess.
It was just that Ye Mei wanted to bow, but Shen Miao didn't even help him, and just suffered like that. A hint of displeasure flashed in Madam Ye's eyes, but Ye Ke didn't show it. Ye Maocai glanced at Shen Miao, but he saw everything.
Shen Miao walked to the other end, to the main seat next to Xie Jingxing. Ye Maocai stood up and said, "I've been staying in the Prince's Mansion these days. Mei'er and Ke'er have been bothering me a lot. I'm grateful to the Prince's Consort for taking care of me."
Shen Miao smiled faintly: "I can't bear the word disturbing. After all, Miss Ye and Master Ye are your highness's lifesavers. To call them disturbing is a bit too much."
Ye Maocai smiled and made a few remarks to smooth things over, but then he heard Shen Miao change the subject and asked in confusion, "However, how did Miss Li and Mr. Li become Miss Ye and Mr. Ye? It's a bit surprising that the relatives they are looking for are from the Ye family."
As she spoke like this, Xie Jingxing just played with the teacup in his hand, neither stopping her nor obeying her, as if he was just watching from the sidelines. Ye Maocai was a little unsure of what Xie Jingxing meant. After a moment's hesitation, he smiled and said, "To be honest, that happened more than ten years ago. When my concubine was giving birth, the midwife in the mansion became treacherous and, following the instructions of a treacherous person, switched my son. They were actually siblings, but they were replaced with a baby girl who died young. Over the years, we have kept the family's shame secret and have only investigated privately. This time, the two of them entered Longye and accidentally came to the Prince's mansion. Later, they claimed to be looking for their relatives, so they are a match." Ye Maocai, who was already fair-skinned and beardless, looked at the amiable scholar. Now, when he spoke, he was even more sincere, as if he had brought out all his sincerity. He looked at Shen Miao and said with a smile, "Everyone says that Mei'er and Ke'er saved His Highness's life. In fact, it is our Ye family who should be grateful to His Highness. If it were not for this strange mistake, our family would not be reunited."
"That's exactly the point." Madam Ye also laughed. Since Shen Miao met Madam Ye, this was the first time she saw her laugh so heartily, as if she was genuinely happy. Anyone who saw this would have no doubt that Ye Mei and Ye Ke were her long-lost children.
But Shen Miao couldn't do it no matter what. In her previous life, she was a daughter of a minister in Mingqi, but in this life, she became a person from Daliang. The origin and entanglement between them were probably not that simple.
Ye Mei and Ye Ke sat on one side. Ye Mei was beautiful, and Ye Ke was shrewd. They were both incredibly talented individuals. Even more remarkable was their tact, not resorting to rude remarks or resorting to reckless behavior based on their status as Xie Jingxing's saviors. Consequently, no one else felt any resentment towards them.
That's right. Fu Xiuyi is such a shrewd and almost cruel person. He is so selfish that he can even kill his own children without hesitation, but he only dotes on Madam Mei. It can be seen that she must have her own unique qualities.
