Chapter 123: One Day, Get Out (Part 2)
Ye Heng's heart sank, and he smiled awkwardly, "The princess is joking. I am Chu Tang's uncle, so I naturally have to worry about him."
"Really? I'm not very good at seeing that." The princess said indifferently, "Otherwise, why would he choose Han Yao for her?"
Ye Heng was speechless.
Even if he was a fool, he could hear the eldest princess' dissatisfaction with him!
"Princess, I just learned about the Feiyue Lake incident. I never thought that Han Yao would actually get into such trouble!" Ye Heng lowered his head, staring at the ground. He felt that the princess's gaze was like a substance, falling heavily on his shoulders, making him unable to raise his head. "He swore before that he was devoted to Chu Tang, but who would have thought-"
"Han Yao is a playboy. Lord Ye should have known this a long time ago. Why are you saying this now?" The princess seemed to have heard a joke. "Not long ago, Lord Ye kept saying that Han Yao was Han Tong's son. He was the one you watched grow up, and he was the man you carefully selected for Chu Tang."
The princess spoke calmly, but Ye Heng broke out in a cold sweat, "He, he..."
The eldest princess leaned back in her chair, her expression calm and her majesty evident without even getting angry.
"Now that the two parties haven't officially engaged yet, he dares to bring a pregnant prostitute back to the mansion. If Chu Tang really marries him in the future, I don't know how the Han family will bully her!"
Ye Heng wiped the sweat from his forehead with trembling hands: "How could this happen? Han Yao did make a mistake this time, but even if he had the guts, he wouldn't dare to let Chu Tang down!"
The eldest princess raised the corners of her lips slightly.
"Why wouldn't he dare? I think he is very brave! Chu Tang has no parents to rely on, no brothers to rely on, and only a few younger brothers and sisters to follow her. When she gets married and gets wronged, she won't even have anyone to tell her grievances to. Isn't Han Yao relying on this point to be so arrogant?"
Ye Heng swallowed his saliva, raised his head suddenly, and vowed: "If he dares to treat Chu Tang badly, I will be the first one who will not let him go!"
"You?" The princess pressed the corner of her lips with a handkerchief, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "Didn't you pick Han Yao for her yourself?"
If it weren't for him, Ye Chutang wouldn't have been involved in all this mess!
"What's more, I heard that after the woman found Han Yao, Han Yao didn't recognize them at all. When he saw her bleeding and in danger, he showed no concern or expression. If Chu Tang hadn't helped, the woman and the fetus in her belly would have already become wronged souls. This behavior really shows that he has no manliness or responsibility at all!"
The princess' eyes turned cold.
"Ye Heng, this is the good marriage you have arranged for your niece!"
Plop——!
Ye Heng fell to his knees.
"Princess, I was inconsiderate this time. Please forgive me!"
Ye Shixian didn't think the matter was serious at first, until this moment, she realized that the eldest princess was not just protecting Ye Chutang.
No wonder Dad was so nervous on the way here...
Ye Shixian turned her eyes and saw Ye Chutang sitting there quietly with a calm expression, and the anger in her heart instantly rose.
If it weren't for Ye Chutang, would her father be kneeling here at this moment, begging for mercy from the princess?
But Ye Chutang still looked indifferent!
"Cousin." Ye Shixian suppressed her anger. "Dad did this for you. Who would have thought that Han Yao would have such trouble? But he was just playing around with those women. Since he met you, he has never been out for fun again. His heart is still sincere to you. Otherwise, you can forgive him this time and give him a month to let him deal with all these things?"
Ye Chutang raised an eyebrow: "One month?"
"Yes, it will only take a month." Ye Shixian saw her response and thought she was persuaded. "If he is willing, he will get all these things done—"
Ye Chutang seemed to be thinking about something: "Su Pei'er is just a weak woman, and she is pregnant. I'm afraid she will have difficulties everywhere. I don't know what you mean by handling it well?"
"Of course -" Ye Shixian said this, and she caught a glimpse of the expressionless face of the princess. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly swallowed the rest of her words. "That's his Han family's business. Cousin, don't worry about it."
Everyone present knew very well that there were only a few possible solutions to this "deal". Either the child was gone, or Su Pei'er was gone.
The Han family is, after all, a legitimate official family. The mother of the first grandchild was born in a brothel. They will probably be laughed at to death in the future.
The most gentle solution is probably to send Su Pei'er away, raise her on a farm outside, and bring her back when she grows up.
But even so, this is a great humiliation for the Han family and the women who will marry into the Han family in the future.
The princess glanced at Ye Shixian and said, "I didn't expect that Miss Ye, who is still in the boudoir, knows so much about these matters in the harem."
Ye Shixian's face turned pale instantly.
She had been with her mother since she was a child and was indeed familiar with such things. If Gao didn't have some tricks, she wouldn't have been able to sit firmly in the position of Madam of the Ye family for so many years.
Ye Heng had taken concubines in his early years, but they all died not long after entering the mansion.
Ye Shixian had long been accustomed to this, but in her impulse, she forgot that this was the Princess's Residence, and she said such words in front of so many people!
Ye Shixian hastily defended herself: "Princess, I have no other intentions! I just thought that marriage is hard to come by—"
The eldest princess interrupted her impatiently: "If you think it's a pity, why don't you marry Han Yao yourself."
Ye Shixian was startled and swallowed the rest of her words.
Let her marry Han Yao? How is this possible!
Ye Heng turned around and angrily rebuked: "You have no right to speak here!"
Ye Shixian also knelt down quickly: "I spoke out of turn, I hope the princess will forgive me!"
There was silence in the room, and the air seemed to be frozen.
Finally, the eldest princess said, "I am tired, you all should leave."
Ye Heng felt relieved.
It seemed that the princess had no intention of pursuing the matter further today.
He immediately responded and stood up to leave.
However, as soon as he took a step back, he found that Ye Chutang did not move.
"Chu Tang? We should go back." he reminded.
Before Ye Chutang could speak, the princess asked, "Go back? Where?"
Ye Heng felt a little uneasy: "Of course, I will go back to Ye Mansion..."
The eldest princess looked surprised.
"Oh, yes, it's time to go back. However, she still has to stay at the Princess's residence tonight. I will send someone to take her there after you move out of there."
She glanced at the sky outside and said calmly:
"I'll give you one day, is that enough? She has something important to do tomorrow, so don't delay her."
