There was no other way, so Prince Rong personally went to General Chu's mansion to bring Chu Yaya back, bringing two cartloads of gifts to thank Chu Chunsheng and Liu Ruyu.
But then he received news that was completely unexpected.
"Ya Ya is gone?"
Prince Rong looked completely bewildered.
Why did this child leave?
Didn't she come to the capital to reunite with her relatives?
He hasn't even entered the Rong Prince's Mansion yet, and his identity hasn't been recorded in the Rong Prince's Mansion's genealogy. How could he have left?
Chu Chunsheng said with a smile, "Yes, she's leaving. This child has her own thoughts and ideas, and even though my wife and I are reluctant to part with her, we can't stop her."
As elders, how can we stop children from spreading their wings and soaring high?
In this lifetime, Prince Rong and his wife are destined never to see a smile from their own daughter.
"Where did she go? I didn't mean anything by it, I was just too busy before. Now that everything has finally settled down, I want to have a good talk with this child and make it up to her..."
Prince Rong adopted a very humble attitude.
He clearly told Chu Chunsheng and his wife that he only wanted to make amends and did not want to cause any harm.
So if it's intentional that they're hiding and refusing to meet...
"Then Your Highness is late. Ya Ya left three days ago. If Prince Rong were concerned, he would have found out. After all, we didn't hide anything or deliberately conceal it."
Liu Ruyu said in a sarcastic tone.
What, do you still think they're deliberately keeping it a secret?
She actually did want to.
It was Ya Ya who stopped them.
Ya Ya said that the Prince Rong and his wife wouldn't care, so it was better to be open and honest, even if it meant giving others something to talk about later.
But to my surprise, the child guessed so accurately.
The Prince Rong and his wife truly never paid any attention to her!
gas!
Prince Rong looked embarrassed and asked again, "Where did that child go?"
As for other explanations, Prince Rong did not provide any.
After all, he didn't need to explain to two outsiders.
"I'm sorry, Ya Ya instructed me not to let outsiders know her whereabouts, so I didn't say anything," Chu Chunsheng said with a hint of sarcasm.
At the same time, Liu Ruyu also spoke up: "Your Highness, please go back and tell the Princess Consort to rest assured. The Princess Consort has always been worried that Yaya came to curry favor with the Rong Prince's Mansion and to freeload. Now you can rest assured, my child will never covet even a fraction of the Rong Prince's Mansion's wealth."
"Madam Chu, neither the King nor the Queen Consort ever meant that."
Prince Rong was so embarrassed by the constant barrage of insults.
Therefore, their tone was not very polite.
Liu Ruyu laughed: "Is that so? But why did a nanny and a servant come to my house as if reading an imperial edict, bestowing upon Yaya the privilege of going to the Rong Prince's mansion? And how could a lowly servant call Yaya 'wild girl' so casually? If it weren't for the fact that the Prince and Princess often show their disdain and indifference towards Yaya in the mansion, would a lowly old servant have such audacity?"
Even if Prince Rong and his wife did not instruct Zheng Mama to humiliate Ya Ya, or perhaps neither of them expected that a mere nanny would dare to do such a thing.
but!
If Princess Rong hadn't shown such disdain and contempt for Ya Ya on a regular basis, how would the servants have dared to act on their own initiative?
Everything was just about trying to guess what the master wanted.
Prince Rong was speechless after being rebuked, and could only awkwardly say, "Granny Zheng has already been ordered to be beaten to death by my orders."
"Why does Your Highness need to tell us when you're dealing with the servants in your own household? It's alright." Liu Ruyu's words were sharp, leaving Prince Rong completely unable to defend himself.
Soon, Prince Rong stormed off in a huff.
Although Prince Rong was angry, he understood that the root of the problem lay with the Princess Consort!
It seems that Granny Zheng said some very unpleasant things!
Damn old slave!
Although Liu Ruyu's words were harsh, they also made sense.
The root of the problem lies with the princess.
Having figured this out, Prince Rong went to see Princess Rong, hoping to persuade his wife.
But to everyone's surprise, Princess Rong was completely unconvinced!
The two started arguing after exchanging only a few words.
Prince Rong rose in a rage, unable to comprehend: "Why are you so hostile towards Ya Ya? She has never done anything to harm you; in fact, you've only met once."
He didn't understand.
Even though she was his own biological daughter, he could understand her even if they hadn't spent much time together and didn't have any emotional connection.
But why is there such great hostility?
"If it weren't for her, Ling'er wouldn't have been discovered, and no one would have been able to investigate the matter of the eldest prince. How could Ling'er have died? How could our family have become a laughing stock in the capital?"
"Isn't all of this because of Chu Yaya? She's a jinx!"
Princess Rong's shrill scream almost lifted the roof off.
Prince Rong was taken aback.
After a moment's thought, he said in a trembling voice, "So, you mean... Ya Ya shouldn't have lived. She should have died when she was thrown into the deep mountains?"
How can a person remain undetected?
It is naturally dead.
Can……
How could Princess Rong, as her own mother, have such thoughts?
That's her own daughter.
"If she had been thrown into the deep mountains, any other child would have died long ago. But she survived and was even raised by wolves! Your Highness, don't you find this very strange?"
"Maybe, maybe...maybe our daughter is already dead. This Chu Yaya is actually possessed by some kind of monster, otherwise why would she cause such a commotion so soon after she appeared?"
"Yes, that's it! She's possessed by some evil spirit, that's why she's like this!"
Princess Rong spoke incoherently.
In the end, he even believed it himself.
He kept nodding, "Yes, that's it. It's because of her that she's evil!"
She's not her daughter.
Her daughter can be arrogant and domineering, and she can be immature.
But he absolutely cannot be a lowly country bumpkin raised by wolves!
Absolutely not!
"Smack!"
Prince Rong raised his hand and slapped the princess hard across the face, shouting angrily, "Are you crazy? That's your own daughter! Don't you have any humanity?"
When did the princess become like this?
It's right to care about honor and disgrace.
Just because a daughter was raised by wolves and grew up in the countryside, does that mean she should be hated by her own mother like this?
How is this fair to Ya Ya?
Suddenly, Prince Rong understood why the girl had left; she simply didn't want to acknowledge them.
Who would want to acknowledge parents like that?
"You hit me? You hit me for that bastard?"
This was the first time in over twenty years of marriage that Prince Rong had ever hit his wife.
Princess Rong screamed in despair, "It's all because of that bastard! Why isn't she dead? Why is she still alive? Why?"
"If you have to say that Chu Yaya is a bastard, it's probably because her biological mother was a slut."
"That's what Prince Rong said coldly."
He called his own daughter a bastard?
Then how much better are you?
Princess Rong: "Shut up!"
"The princess has been sealed off. Issue the order to confine the princess to the courtyard, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Find a deaf-mute person to deliver meals to the princess every day."
Prince Rong left resolutely.
