Chapter 130 It might not be a bad thing
After saying that, the eldest princess and Yun Mushu boarded the carriage. The driver whipped the horse and the carriage sped off towards the Prime Minister's residence.
At this moment, Ye Xinrou hurriedly stepped into the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion and rushed straight to her boudoir like a gust of wind.
As soon as she entered the room, Ye Xinrou couldn't wait to ask someone to fetch water for a bath.
At the same time, in the flower hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Chang was standing beside the Prime Minister with her head lowered, trembling with fear.
The Prime Minister's face was filled with anger, and his eyes were fixed on Chang, who was trembling with fear. His majestic aura filled the entire flower hall with a tense and depressing atmosphere.
Chang bit her lip tightly, tears welling in her eyes, and she looked extremely aggrieved. She choked up and said, "Master, I really know I was wrong this time! But all this is the fault of that bitch Ye Chuxue!"
If she hadn't deliberately threatened me and lied to me that she had poisoned me, even if I had the courage of heaven, I would never dare to easily reveal the secret buried deep in my heart!
My Lord, you have always loved me, could you bear to see me lose my life for no reason?"
As she spoke, Chang would raise her head from time to time, carefully observing the changes in the Prime Minister's expression, trying to catch a hint of forgiveness from his face.
She keenly caught the subtle changes in the Prime Minister's expression, secretly delighted, her eyes rolling, and she continued to speak with courage: "Master, in my opinion, since Ye Chuxue already knows about this, it may not be a bad thing! For so many years, she has been the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, while our poor Rou'er can only be a concubine's daughter. How much grievance has she suffered!
Now is the perfect opportunity to make public the truth that Ye Chuxue is an abandoned girl we picked up. This way, Rou'er can become the eldest daughter, and we won't have to pay attention to the Queen's ridiculous proposal to make Rou'er's so-called biological mother a co-wife! "
After hearing this, the Prime Minister fell into deep thought. He frowned slightly, tapping his fingers on the table. After a long silence, he spoke hesitantly, "While what Madam says is not without reason, I wonder if Madam has ever considered what I would do if the man who handed Ye Chuxue over to me were to come looking for me?"
That person was able to come up with such a huge sum of money at once. He must be an extraordinary person, definitely not from an ordinary wealthy family. If he causes any trouble, it would be detrimental to our Prime Minister's Mansion..."
Chang smiled and said flatteringly, "Master, think about it, it has been many years, and he has never come to your door! Even if he really comes one day, you must not forget that you are now the Prime Minister of Yunxi Kingdom!
No matter how noble his status is, he should at least give you some face, right? Besides, the hardships we went through in raising Ye Chuxue cannot be explained in a few words. It was already quite difficult!"
After hearing what Chang said, the Prime Minister suddenly felt that there was some truth in it, so he slowly nodded in agreement.
However, a trace of worry involuntarily appeared on his face immediately afterwards: "Alas, if Rou'er knew that she was our real biological daughter, and the legitimate eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, would she feel resentment?"
Chang quickly spoke to comfort him, "Master, in my opinion, it's best not to tell Rou'er the truth for now. You might as well think about it carefully. Besides Ye Chuxue, Rou'er is the oldest person in this mansion right now."
Once Ye Chuxue's true identity is made public, Rou'er will naturally become the eldest daughter. At that time, I will take her in as my own daughter. In this way, won't she instantly become the eldest daughter?
As for her true background, we can take the long view and not rush into anything. If she finds it difficult to accept this fact and instead harbors resentment towards us, then the gain will outweigh the loss!"
The Prime Minister nodded slightly and said slowly: "Well, it seems that this is the only way at the moment." There was a hint of helplessness on his face, but his eyes remained firm.
At that moment, a sudden burst of hurried footsteps could be heard outside the door, followed by a breathless servant running to the front of the hall, bowing and saying, "I greet you, Master and Madam. Sir, the Princess and Prince Yunqing are visiting the mansion in person right now, and they're already at the door!"
The Prime Minister was shocked when he heard this. He instantly understood that these two people came here most likely because of Ye Xinrou.
So he quickly ordered, "Please come in quickly! Don't be negligent in the slightest!"
The servant hurriedly saluted again, then turned and left in a hurry.
After a while, the prime minister came to the door in person, with a smile on his face, ready to greet him.
However, when he saw the eldest princess and Prince Yunqing walking in with expressionless and stern faces, a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
But he still pretended to be calm, smiled and asked, "Who is so bold as to offend you two?"
The eldest princess glanced at the prime minister, snorted, and said in a cold tone: "Hmph! Prime Minister, you are really a good educator. You can actually raise two such outstanding daughters!" There was obvious dissatisfaction and blame in her words.
The Prime Minister hurriedly and respectfully invited them into the hall. He then looked at the Princess with a puzzled expression and asked softly, "I wonder what your intention is, Princess? I'm really confused. I hope the Princess can give me some clarity."
At this time, Yun Mushu's face was so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He gritted his teeth and told the whole story of everything that happened in Prince Yun Xin's mansion.
When he got excited, his voice rose a few degrees unconsciously, and even his hands trembled slightly.
At the end of his speech, Yun Mushu couldn't help but blame Ye Xinrou, his tone full of reproach: "Since she has returned, why didn't you send someone to inform us immediately? If we had known about this earlier, the prince and the princess wouldn't have suffered such a great loss!"
Facing Yun Mushu's accusation, the Prime Minister could only reveal a helpless expression, and explained with a wry smile: "It's not that I deliberately didn't send someone to report the news, it's just that my daughter just returned home.
Furthermore, according to what His Royal Highness Prince Yunqing said, even if I had sent someone to notify you two immediately, I'm afraid by the time I arrived at your residence, you two would already be inside Prince Yunxin's residence. I'm afraid I still wouldn't be able to prevent this series of events from happening..."
