"What time is it? Are you still going to care about this wretched child? I can tell she clearly knows her true identity, but she has never revealed a single word to you or me all these years. It's obvious she has a wicked heart. If you insist on taking care of her, you'll be trading the lives of everyone in our entire palace for her!"
Prince Rong released his grip, his face turning cold.
How can you still be so stubborn now?
Sometimes it can protect her.
But sometimes you have to give up.
Moreover, they couldn't really talk about abandoning or not abandoning Ling'er.
"……I see."
Princess Rong lowered her head in dejection.
She never stopped thinking about Ling'er, but in front of the prince, she finally learned not to argue with him anymore.
Soon, Chu Chunsheng, Liu Ruyu, and Chu Yaya were brought over.
Actually, they didn't come to the capital together, but Liu Ruyu quickly found Chu Yaya and brought her to the Chu family's mansion in the capital.
It was only at the strong insistence of Chu Chunsheng and Liu Ruyu that Chu Yaya came to the Rong Prince's Mansion with them.
Otherwise, given Chu Yaya's temperament, she would never have come.
"Greetings, Your Highness and Your Highness."
Chu Chunsheng and Liu Ruyu bowed to each other.
Surprisingly, Chu Yaya followed suit and bowed to the two of them as if nothing had happened.
It was as if the two people in front of her were not her biological parents, but simply a high and mighty prince and princess.
Princess Rong was displeased with Chu Yaya's awkward and improper manner of bowing.
But remembering what the prince had said, she suppressed her displeasure and stepped forward, pretending to be distressed.
Having just cried because of Ling'er, it was much easier to pretend now.
"Yaya, is your name Yaya? You're so pitiful, sob sob sob... If we had found you sooner, you wouldn't have suffered so much in the countryside."
Princess Rong said, her voice choked with tears.
In Beijing, who doesn't know how to act?
Chu Chunsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Princess Rong still cared about Chu Yaya.
Instead, a deep worry flashed across Liu Ruyu's eyes.
Princess Rong... what exactly does she want to do?
“I didn’t suffer in the countryside because I had my beloved grandmother.”
Chu Yaya firmly pushed away Princess Rong and calmly said, "If I really am your daughter, then rest assured, I have never blamed the parents who abandoned me."
Because in her heart, her parents held almost no weight.
She had never even thought about her biological parents.
Since they don't care, there's no point in blaming or complaining.
"That's good, that's good..."
Princess Rong didn't know what to say. She looked at the cold and sharp Chu Yaya and couldn't feel any affection for her.
Even looking at the other person's face, which is nine-tenths similar to his own, he felt not close at all, but rather very awkward.
She was even thinking.
If this child had never appeared in public, then others would not have discovered that Ling'er was a fake, and would not have investigated Ling'er, nor would they have known about the eldest prince.
Then, when the five-year period is up, Ling'er will marry His Highness the Crown Prince, and their Rongwang Mansion will rise to a higher level.
How did we end up in this anxious state?
Thinking of this, Princess Rong's resentful gaze fell on Chu Yaya.
Although it was only a fleeting moment, Chu Yaya, who had been raised by wolves since childhood, was very vigilant and immediately noticed it.
She felt even colder.
Seeing that his wife was not being helpful, Prince Rong had no choice but to step forward and put on a show of filial piety.
but……
"I imagine Your Highness and Princess are quite worried about Princess Qu Ling. I've only come today out of courtesy... I'll take my leave now."
Chu Yaya refused curtly.
Now that she had met them and fulfilled all the proper etiquette, there was no need for her to be disgusted by these two people any longer.
If you don't like it, you just don't like it.
Why force yourself to pretend?
"How can you talk like that, girl? We are your biological parents!"
Princess Rong finally couldn't hold back and glared at Chu Yaya with displeasure.
It's one thing to be of humble origins, but to be so rude! To be so indifferent to one's own parents shows how cold-hearted this person is!
"Perhaps it's because I grew up without parents and was born without manners." Chu Yaya's calm and unwavering eyes were filled with sarcasm towards Princess Rong.
How could you possibly call her rude?
oh.
They don't like themselves.
He can't be nice to people he doesn't like, even if they are his own daughter.
"you!"
Princess Rong's face turned ashen, but she couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.
Prince Rong was furious, both annoyed that Princess Rong couldn't grasp the situation and had forgotten his instructions, and also annoyed by Chu Yaya's coldness and aggressiveness.
Ultimately, the couple were also victims in the matter of losing her back then.
Why be so tense on the first meeting?
"Alright, after all, they are mother and daughter, why be like this?"
Prince Rong took a deep breath and comforted Chu Yaya: "Yaya, your mother's passing was too sudden, and she hasn't fully accepted it yet. Actually, she cares about you a lot. You should stay at home for now..."
"No need."
Chu Yaya coldly refused.
She had nothing to say to the couple and had no expectations of them.
Prince Rong: ...
Prince Rong had never been rejected so cleanly and decisively before, and his expression remained unchanged for a long time.
Finally, Liu Ruyu stepped in to smooth things over: "Your Highness and Your Highness, we appreciate your kindness. However, it's Yaya's first time in the capital, so it's understandable that she's nervous. We also have many things to do right now, so why don't we let Yaya stay at my house for now? As for the rest, we can talk about it later."
"Alright."
Prince Rong no longer has the energy to deal with Chu Yaya.
However, when seeing off Chu Yaya and the other two, Prince Rong specially instructed the steward to arrange five carriages of gifts to accompany Chu Chunsheng's carriage back to the Chu family.
That very night, the entire capital knew how much Prince Rong and his wife doted on their daughter.
After returning home, Chu Chunsheng made no attempt to hide his anger towards Prince Rong.
"What's wrong with them? Huh? They're the ones who owe Yaya, how dare they give her such a hard time? She's their own daughter, not someone who came to freeload!"
Once Chu Chunsheng got home, he could no longer contain his anger.
What is that?
If you ask him, he'd love to just walk away on the spot.
"And those five carriages of gifts, what, are they afraid others won't know? What do they take Ya Ya for? If they really wanted Ya Ya to stay and live with them, why would they prepare gifts for Ya Ya to take with her? What nonsense!"
Hearing Chu Chunsheng's roar, Liu Ruyu gave him a cold glare, and he immediately wilted.
Chu Chunsheng said with some grievance, "Wife, don't look at me like that. I'm just upset that Yaya is being treated this way. I'm angry."
"What's all the fuss about? What good does it do to shout? Does it solve anything or what? Shut up."
Liu Ruyu scolded.
This idiot, is he afraid that Yaya isn't upset enough? He keeps laying everything bare and making a scene in the open?
