Ye Jintang had already arrived at the back of the house and saw Ye Ling sitting on a stone chair not far away as soon as she entered.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Ye Ling's handsome face revealed a faint smile, "You're back?"
Ye Jintang nodded and walked towards Ye Ling's direction.
"Your Highness, shouldn't we explain what happened in the palace?"
After saying that, Ye Jintang took out the token. She knew very well that the reason why the emperor agreed so quickly was that her letter at most aroused his suspicion, but it was not enough to make him completely believe her.
The fact that this could be done can only mean that Ye Ling did something about it.
Ye Ling was somewhat surprised when she saw the token.
"What do you want to ask me?"
"Was it you who told the Emperor that I could subdue evil spirits?"
"good."
Ye Ling replied, "Since General Ye's matter is related to these things, only by finding the person behind it can we better clear our names."
"Moreover, I believe you have the ability."
Ye Ling spoke gently, and seeing that Ye Jintang did not reply, she continued, "You don't need to worry too much about these things, I'm here for you."
"If we ultimately fail to find the person behind this, I will take responsibility for it; it has nothing to do with you."
Ye Jintang felt complicated upon hearing this.
"Your Highness, wouldn't you be at a loss then?"
Ye Jintang looked at Ye Ling. Although she and this prince had a cooperative relationship, what had happened now had gone beyond the scope of their cooperation.
There were even other factors involved during this period that made Ye Jintang feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"All of this is simply what I wished for, so how can it be considered a loss or a gain?"
"It seems you gained something else besides the token during your trip to the palace."
Ye Ling smiled and said to Ye Jintang.
"That's true."
Since that's the topic, Ye Jintang had nothing to hide from Ye Ling.
"I also requested a divorce agreement from the Emperor."
"So what are your plans next?"
"The matter of the Marquis's residence has not yet been resolved. Now that we have a divorce agreement, we can put other matters aside for the time being."
"And what about me?"
"you……?"
Ye Jintang was taken aback, somewhat surprised by what Ye Ling said.
"How did this get involved with you?"
Ye Ling sighed softly, her tone tinged with resentment, "It seems you've forgotten about treating me."
"Ye Jintang, I'm always the one who comes to find you, yet you don't care about my safety at all."
"Hmm?" Ye Jintang raised an eyebrow slightly, and for some reason, she could detect a different emotion in Ye Ling's voice.
Is something wrong with you?
She had noticed Ye Ling when she came in; he seemed to be fine.
However, it's best to take a closer look first to be on the safe side.
“Hold out your hand,” Ye Jintang said.
Ye Ling cooperated with Ye Jintang's words, and his eyes darkened when Ye Jintang touched his pulse.
"The pulse is somewhat weak, which is probably due to the excessive use of internal energy."
Fortunately, there was no major problem elsewhere.
As Ye Jintang spoke, she looked up and met Ye Ling's gaze. She asked, puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Ye Jintang, after you divorced Jiang Mubai, have you thought about the future?"
"after?"
Ye Jintang's expression changed slightly, as if he had realized something, and his words carried a teasing tone, "Your Highness, are you recommending yourself?"
A blush crept onto Ye Ling's face, but she didn't avoid Ye Jintang's question, instead asking her, "Is it alright?"
“My father’s matter is still unresolved, and besides, with Jiang Mubai’s example before us, Your Highness, wouldn’t it be better for us to simply cooperate?”
Ye Jintang said, "Moreover, she transmigrated from a book, and there are too many variables involved. She can suddenly appear here, and one day, at a certain time, she may suddenly disappear again."
Making promises lightly is unfair to anyone.
Especially Ye Ling... Regardless of his reasons for agreeing to those things, his help to me was genuine.
If something is destined to have no outcome from the start, then no promises should be made.
Ye Ling's eyes dimmed slightly, and he lowered his gaze, seemingly disappointed by Ye Jintang's answer.
"What if your father's matter is resolved?"
"Then we'll discuss it again after this is resolved."
Ye Jintang replied.
"good."
Ye Ling seemed to understand something and agreed with what Ye Jintang had just said.
Ye Jintang hesitated, thinking to herself that this prince probably wouldn't really wait until this point, given his personality, he probably only found the present moment novel.
By the time that time comes, the initial enthusiasm will have long passed.
Ye Jintang didn't think much of it.
It wasn't until evening that Ye Jintang returned to the Marquis's residence from Huisheng Hall.
Just as they arrived at the Marquis's residence and were about to return to their courtyard, they heard a commotion coming from not far away.
Ye Jintang moved closer and heard several maids gossiping, "Did you just hear? The Second Madam somehow offended the eldest daughter of the Minister's mansion."
"Right now, Miss Su is blocking the Second Madam's way, demanding an explanation."
"What kind of explanation is that? I think it's obvious that the eldest daughter of the Minister's family found out about the Second Madam's identity, which is why she's dissatisfied."
"Such a thing is true?"
"Miss, shall we go over and take a look?"
Green Lotus looked at Ye Jintang, waiting for her next command.
"No need."
She wasn't particularly interested in the feud between Su He and Su Xuerou, but if it involved the Minister's Mansion...
Ye Jintang was about to go straight back to the courtyard, but she didn't expect that Su Xuerou and Su He were standing in the place that was their only way to go. Now she really couldn't avoid it even if she wanted to.
Su Xuerou had obviously seen her, and when Ye Jintang tried to leave, she deliberately called out to her.
"elder sister!"
After saying that, Su Xuerou walked towards Ye Jintang's direction.
When Su He saw this, her face instantly darkened. She went up to Ye Jintang and angrily questioned, "Ye Jintang, are you sure you want to get involved in this?"
"Tube?"
Ye Jintang was about to speak when she saw Su Xuerou's frightened expression. "Sister, as the mistress of the manor, you wouldn't stand by and watch an outsider act so arrogantly, would you?"
Su Xuerou deliberately feigned weakness, creating the illusion that Ye Jintang was her backer.
She was even more frustrated. Although she had recognized Minister Su, the Minister's mansion was still unaware of her existence. A few days ago, she had mentioned it to her father, but he always told her to put the matter aside because it involved too much.
Who would have thought that Su He would get wind of this from somewhere and come here to cause trouble?
Now that Ye Jintang has returned, it's just in time; we can use her identity to shield us.
Just as Su Xuerou thought her plan was perfect, her wrist was suddenly grabbed.
Ye Jintang simply exerted a little force and pulled Su Xuerou out.
Facing Su He's glaring eyes, Ye Jintang said calmly, "Su He, I have no interest in your affairs."
"Sister, don't forget..."
Su Xuerou didn't expect Ye Jintang to drag her out directly. Seeing Ye Jintang about to leave, Su Xuerou felt even more unwilling.
