Chapter 75 Incorporating the Crown Prince
Ye Qingyuan's eyes were red, and he looked disappointed in her. "Wan Ning, don't stop me. I'm going to beat that bastard to death today!"
Ye Wanning rolled her eyes. She couldn't be bothered to stop him. She wanted to see a good show, but this was, after all, the territory of the Prince of Jin's mansion, and she didn't want to get herself into trouble! She looked at Ye Qingyuan and said earnestly, "Father, you said you wanted to beat this wretched child to death, but are you going to beat Second Sister or the Crown Prince? The Crown Prince is inside!"
Ye Wanning's words seemed to awaken Ye Qingyuan. He stared blankly at Ye Wanning for a long time before letting out a long sigh, "If Wanyi had even a fraction of your understanding, she wouldn't have done such a thing..."
If she had learned even a fraction of what she did, she wouldn't have been tricked into this mess by this old man. Ye Wanning snorted coldly and glanced at Ye Qingyuan with some disdain. Using everyone's eyes to limit this marriage, even if it succeeds, Ye Wanyi's reputation will probably be ruined in the future. This is truly a terrible strategy. Ye Wanning pursed her lips and replied, "Father, don't be anxious. Everyone saw what happened today. I believe the Crown Prince will give you and Second Sister an explanation."
Ye Qingyuan nodded helplessly, "I really have to apologize to Wanqing."
"Father, don't worry," Ye Wanning whispered to comfort him. "No one could have predicted that things would develop to this point. I'm sure my elder sister will understand."
"If that's really the case, then so be it..." Ye Qingyuan's deep voice drifted over.
Ye Wanning glanced at him, raising an eyebrow slightly. The old fox was indeed an old fox, doing one thing to his face and another behind his back with great skill. Ye Wanning's lips curled up slightly, "We can just wait here."
Less than a quarter of an hour later, the door was pushed open, and Ye Wanyi slowly stepped out, her face streaked with tears. Standing at the door, she timidly glanced at the group of people before her, and after spotting Ye Qingyuan, who looked furious, she gave a timid bow, "Father..."
"You shameless thing!" Ye Qingyuan was furious when he heard Ye Wanyi call him. He stepped forward as if to teach Ye Wanyi a lesson, but was stopped by Su Wenzhen.
Ye Wanyi collapsed to the side, seemingly quite frightened.
Ye Qingyuan was taken aback, looking at Su Wenzhen with some confusion, "Prince Jin..."
"This is the Prince of Jin's residence. Who dares to make a move?" Su Wenzhen glanced at Ye Qingyuan, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.
“That’s right!” A deep male voice came from inside the house. “Moreover, from today onwards, she belongs to my Eastern Palace! How dare you touch her!” Su Wenxuan walked out with a livid face.
Seeing Su Wenxuan's unusual expression, Ye Wanning couldn't help but find it amusing. No one knew whether he was angry because of Ye Qingyuan's rudeness or because he felt embarrassed that so many people had witnessed the incident.
Ye Qingyuan's skill was no joke; he quickly grasped the key point in Su Wenxuan's words. He looked at Su Wenxuan in disbelief, "The Crown Prince means..."
"Don't you understand what I mean?!" Su Wenlan roared, "Could it be that Prime Minister Ye is so old and frail that his hearing and eyesight have deteriorated to the point where he can't understand what I'm saying?!"
Ye Qingyuan was so frightened by Su Wenxuan's words that he could barely stand, stammering, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty didn't mean that..."
"Then what do you mean!" Su Wenyan angrily flicked his sleeves, looking impatient. He hadn't taken it seriously last night because he was drunk, but he didn't expect to find Ye Wanyi in his bed as soon as he got up this morning! Anyone with a brain would know what despicable things were hidden in this!
Su Wenyi frowned. Originally, this matter could have been covered up, but unexpectedly, misfortune struck again, and someone actually came looking for her! Thinking about this, Su Wenyi glared at Ye Wanyi with some resentment. Ye Qingyuan, that old fox, would do anything to send his second daughter to his side! But didn't he realize that after things had turned out like this, could he still expect him to treat her well?
Su Wenzhen felt a tightness in his chest, and he rubbed his forehead in frustration. "Wenzhen, I'm sorry to have bothered you today."
"Brother, please don't say that." Su Wenzhen looked at Su Wenxuan with a face full of apology. "It's all my fault. If I hadn't let you stay at the manor yesterday, this wouldn't have happened."
“The Crown Prince was drunk yesterday. You’re doing this because you’re worried something might happen to him on the way.” Ye Wanning said with a frown, “The Crown Prince is, after all, the heir apparent of the country. If something really happens to him, who can bear the responsibility?”
Su Wenzhen nodded, and this time he said in a good mood, "Sister-in-law is right, Wenzhen doesn't need to blame himself." As he spoke, he sighed softly, looking exhausted, "I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to the palace first." After saying that, he left without looking back.
"Your Highness, please take care."
Seeing Su Wenlan slowly walk away, Ye Wanning turned her head and found that Ye Wanyi, who was lying on the side, was still not being helped by anyone. Ye Qingyuan knew that the matter had been accomplished and was naturally very happy. He forgot to thank his daughter. Ye Wanning sneered and met Ye Wanyi's pitiful eyes.
Ye Wanning wondered to herself that Ye Wanyi must be feeling both happy and afraid. She was happy that she had finally gotten what she wanted, but she was afraid that, given Su Wenbo's attitude just now and Ye Wanqing's personality, what would happen to Ye Wanyi if she didn't have a good life in the future?
After thinking for a moment, Ye Wanning stepped forward and helped Ye Wanyi up. After all, Ye Wanyi was a woman with a tragic fate, and she didn't want to kick her while she was down. She looked up at Ye Wanyi with concern and asked softly, "Second sister, are you alright?"
"Hmph!" Ye Wanyi snorted lightly, then shook off Ye Wanning's hand after standing up straight, looking at her with disdain. "Thank you for your kindness, little sister, I appreciate it."
Ye Wanning wasn't annoyed. Ye Wanyi was used to taking advantage of others, and probably hadn't realized her own situation! Now she probably thought she was in power, so she became even more reckless. Ye Wanning shook her head helplessly; she was truly hopeless! Ye Wanning turned to Ye Qingyuan, "Father, what do you plan to do now?"
"What else can we do!" Ye Qingyuan sighed. "We can only go back to the manor first."
"Prime Minister Ye, please don't be anxious," Su Wenzhen responded from the side. "The Crown Prince just said that the Second Miss Ye will be a member of the Eastern Palace from now on. My brother always keeps his word and will definitely give the Second Miss a proper title."
“I know that,” Ye Qingyuan sighed helplessly. “But…” He suddenly stopped, looked at Ye Wanning and then at Su Wenzhen, and sighed, “Fine, let it be!” Then he looked at Ye Wanyi and said sternly, “You wretched child, come back to the manor with me right now! You’ve disgraced the Ye family!”
Ye Wanyi responded meekly and walked timidly to Ye Qingyuan. She seemed a little scared and didn't dare to raise her head or say anything.
After all, they were family. Ye Wanning couldn't help but find it a little funny. They were really putting on a good show. Thinking this, Ye Wanning smiled and said, "Father, don't worry. I'll have someone prepare a carriage for you." As she spoke, she gave Cui'er a look and then said, "Father, you and Cui'er go together."
Ye Qingyuan nodded, his face ashen, and left with Ye Wanyi.
After the farce, the show was over, and everyone had left. Ye Wanning stretched comfortably, half-closing her eyes and looking at Su Wenzhen with unusual languor, "Not bad!"
"Likewise!" Su Wenzhen laughed, and was about to reach out to touch Ye Wanning's head, but she dodged him.
"Men and women should not touch each other." Ye Wanning rolled her eyes at him.
"But you're my wife!" Su Wenzhen feigned shyness as he looked at Ye Wanning. "Isn't this only natural? Besides, you'll be..."
"Shut up!" Ye Wanning glared at Su Wenzhen, seeing that he was about to say those vulgar things again, "If you keep talking, I'll beat you up!"
Su Wenzhen smiled mysteriously, and was about to say something when he heard a shout from behind him.
"Sister! Sister! Something terrible has happened!"
Ye Wanning was startled. She saw Cui'er rushing towards her with something in her hand, looking extremely anxious. Ye Wanning's heart tightened. What had happened this time?
