Upon hearing that Ye Zhen was a princess, the woman was so frightened that she stepped back, saying, "I don't know, I thought she was sent by that scholar."
"Since this child is so disobedient and refuses to leave, I'll just pretend I never had her."
After saying that, she released Helian Qing and ran away.
Helian Qing's legs went weak, and without support, he immediately fell to the ground, but Ye Zhen caught him.
Only her other hand was grabbed by Li Chenghai, who had just arrived.
Li Chenghai: "The princess still loves to meddle in other people's business."
After his mother told him about the grandson of the Prince of Dingyuan, he didn't quite believe it, but he still had someone keep watch on the city gate.
The servants discovered Helian Qing and went back to report, but they didn't expect Ye Zhen to beat them to it.
He could not refuse the kindness shown to him by the Prince of Dingyuan's mansion.
“This child is still young and doesn’t know any better. It’s only natural for parents to discipline their children. Why should the princess interfere in their family affairs and become the bad guy?”
He never let go of Helian Qing's hand, intending to get rid of Ye Zhen first, then hand the human trafficker over to Helian Qing for disposal, and then treat him well. Helian Qing would be grateful to him and would not remember Ye Zhen at all.
Ye Zhen frowned.
Li Chenghai was not the kind of person who would do something out of kindness. His actions only made Ye Zhen more certain of the child's identity.
Because Xie Jinyao has memories of her past life, she is now relying on the Xiao family and wants to prove her abilities to them.
Her current ability is the memory of her past life, which is probably why she sent Li Chenghai to the city gate.
Otherwise, Li Chenghai should be attending court at this time.
They were destined to be enemies, so why would Ye Zhen do anything to help Li Chenghai?
Ye Zhen discreetly slipped a pill into Helian Qing's mouth.
"Does Lord Li have a grudge against this child? Or are these two human traffickers actually Lord Li's men?"
Could it be that Lord Li took a liking to this child and deliberately allowed the two human traffickers to kidnap him, then rescued him under the guise of a benefactor?
Li Chenghai's eyes flashed with anger. "Princess Zhaoning, stop talking nonsense. I am just worried that you will use the name of chivalry to oppress people. After all, the Marquis's mansion has done such things before."
Indeed, someone in the Marquis's mansion did do such a thing; it was Xie Jinyao.
Ye Zhen narrowed his eyes. "Lord Li, the people of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion have always only done good deeds."
Lord Li is truly strange. The child is dressed in brocade made of tribute, and these two people keep saying that the child is theirs. But what parents in the world would elope with their daughter and make such a fuss that everyone knows about it?
Lord Li, as an official appointed by the imperial court, shouldn't lack even this basic judgment, unless you are intentionally protecting those two.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "But since I, the princess, have encountered them, I cannot let Lord Li succeed. Wanxing and Yinyue, send them to the authorities."
How could Li Chenghai lack the ability to discern? He simply wanted to get rid of Ye Zhen first. If he reported it to the authorities, how could he possibly retain Helian Qing's favor?
"These are all the Princess's words..."
"Then let the child say it himself."
Ye Zhen interrupted him and released Helian Qing.
After Ye Zhen gave Helian Qing the drug, he gradually regained consciousness and his strength slowly returned.
He shoved Li Chenghai aside, his eyes wide with anger, "Who are you? Why are you trying to harm me? What grudge do I have against you?"
He had heard the human trafficker's words clearly: "Are you blind? You think they could give birth to me?"
He cared deeply about his parents, and these bastards pretending to be his parents angered him far more than kidnapping him.
Li Chenghai was furious. His attempt to show kindness had backfired, and he was about to explain when Helian Qing, without even glancing at him, rushed up to the fat woman and kicked her in the stomach.
He ordered Wanxing, "Slap her! She dared to tie me up, knock out all her teeth, make her swallow it, and then send her to the authorities."
He raised his chin and gave the order.
He then looked at Yinyue, pointed at the man, and said, "You're in charge of him."
Wanxing and Yinyue looked at Ye Zhen simultaneously, as did Helian Qing.
Seeing Ye Zhen nod, he sneered, "Woman, you're smart enough to know what's good for you. I won't treat you badly."
After saying that, he bent down, picked up the handkerchief from the woman's hand, walked up to Li Chenghai, and slapped the handkerchief onto Li Chenghai's face.
Before long, Li Chenghai's eyelids grew heavy, and before he collapsed, he heard Helian Qing say contemptuously, "Only a fool would believe they are my parents."
When Madam Xiao learned that Li Chenghai had fallen into a coma and been carried back to the mansion, she rushed to see him.
When she arrived, Li Chenghai had already woken up thanks to the treatment of the imperial physician.
"Cheng'er, what exactly happened? Didn't they say they found the child? Why didn't they bring anyone back?"
Instead, he fell into a coma.
Li Chenghai was so angry that he didn't want to say anything.
Xiao had no choice but to ask his attendant. The attendant glanced at Li Chenghai cautiously, and seeing that he did not object, he told him everything.
"Why is it Ye Zhen again?"
Xiao looked displeased.
How could Ye Zhen snatch away the opportunity they had finally gained, and even sow discord between Cheng Hai and He Lian Qing?
Only then did Li Chenghai speak, "Mother, I want to kill her."
The last time Ye Zhen complained, he was beaten and scolded by his father for the first time, so he wanted to kill Ye Zhen.
Xiao also wanted to.
The reason was simple: on the day the Prince of Liang rebelled, it was Ye Zhen who gave Shen the antidote, allowing Shen to steal the spotlight in front of the Prime Minister.
Anyone who helps the Shen family deal with her is her enemy.
So she went to find Xie Jinyao.
This time, she was much more amiable.
“Jinyao…”
Before she could speak, Xie Jinyao interrupted her, "Aunt, my name is Mingyue."
Xie Jinyao died in the slave quarters, and she later became Mingyue, the cousin of the Prime Minister's family.
A bright moon with a promising future!
Thinking of her predictive ability, Madam Xiao secretly took a breath. "Look at your mind, Aunt. You are so thoughtful. Mingyue, the grandson of the Prince of Dingyuan did appear, but Ye Zhen ruined it and even caused your cousin to be drugged by that child."
