Chapter 127: The Soft-hearted
Thinking of this, Ye Chuxue looked up at Chang and Ye Xinrou, and suddenly felt that Ye Xinrou was also a pitiful person. She was obviously a legitimate daughter, but because of her parents' greed for money, she had to bear the identity of a concubine for so many years. No wonder Chang refused to agree to promote Ye Xinrou's so-called biological mother to a co-wife. Haha, it was really ridiculous, pitiful and sad.
Ye Chuxue sighed lightly, turned around and walked out without saying a word.
Seeing Ye Chuxue about to leave, Chang hurriedly shouted, "I've told you everything I know, absolutely nothing is hidden. Give me the antidote quickly."
Ye Chuxue stopped and said slowly, "I didn't poison you at all. It was just a pill to reduce internal heat. You and your daughter can go now."
After saying that, Ye Chuxue didn't stay any longer and walked straight outside.
Chang finally realized that she had been tricked by Ye Chuxue. She gritted her teeth, staring at Ye Chuxue's back and said fiercely, "This damned little bitch actually dared to trick me! No, I'm going to tell the secret I've kept in my heart for twenty years. I must go back and tell the Prime Minister so that we can discuss a countermeasure."
When Ye Chuxue came out of the prison and just arrived at the Yunxin Palace, he saw two carriages with the signs of the Yunqing Palace and the Princess' Palace slowly approaching from afar, and then stopped at the gate of the Yunxin Palace.
Ye Chuxue raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself: Could it be that he came here because of Ye Xinrou's matter? Humph! He really knows how to rush things.
Ye Chuxue whispered to Chen Yu beside her, "Go and report to the prince quickly."
Then Ye Chuxue stood at the gate of Prince Yunxin's mansion. After the Princess and Yun Mushu got out of the carriage, Ye Chuxue bowed slightly and said, "Xue'er greets the Princess and Prince Yunqing."
When the princess saw Ye Chuxue, a hint of disgust flashed across her eyes, then disappeared. Instead, she walked towards Ye Chuxue with a friendly face, reached out her hand and gently helped her up, smiling and saying, "There's no need to be polite when we're family."
"I wonder if the Imperial Aunt and Third Brother are here to look for my Prince?"
"No, this lady and Prince Yunqing came here specifically to see you."
Ye Chuxue smiled, as expected...
"Then please, aunt and brother, move into the palace."
As soon as the eldest princess and Yun Mushu sat down, a maid immediately brought them tea.
The eldest princess extended her hand with a smile on her face, gently taking Ye Chuxue's hand, and said in a kind tone, "I really wronged you at the banquet last time and couldn't treat you well. And that little girl Qianqian, it's because I spoiled her too much on a daily basis that she was so disrespectful and ignorant of etiquette, and was so rude to you. But, you are a magnanimous person, so please don't take these things to heart."
As soon as she finished speaking, the eldest princess turned around slightly and took an exquisite and gorgeous jewelry box from the hand of her personal maid standing beside her.
Then, she slowly handed it to Ye Chuxue, placing it in her hands. She then smiled and explained, "This set of jewelry is a treasure specially sent as tribute from another country. It's meticulously carved from the finest warm jade. It's said that wearing this jewelry is very beneficial to the health of us women. Furthermore, there's only one of its kind in the world. I thought you'd love it, so I rushed to bring it to you."
Ye Chuxue couldn't help but sneer inwardly as she listened to the princess' words. Humph, for that Ye Xinrou, she's really willing to spend a fortune!
However, she pretended to be flattered and quickly declined, saying, "Auntie, you absolutely cannot do this! How dare I, your niece, easily steal someone's love? It's too precious! I can't afford it!"
After saying that, Ye Chuxue deliberately acted very nervous, as if she wanted to return the jewelry box in her hand to the princess.
At this moment, the eldest princess stared at the set of extremely precious warm jade jewelry. Her heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife and the pain was unbearable. Even a trace of reluctance that was difficult to conceal flashed in her eyes.
However, just a moment later, her eyes became extremely firm and resolute. Because she knew very well that if she wanted Ye Chuxue to let Ye Xinrou go, she would have to give her some decent treasures.
Therefore, no matter how much she felt bad about this set of jewelry, she had to grit her teeth and bear the pain of parting with it. As long as Ye Chuxue was willing to accept this generous gift, then everything else would naturally be much easier.
The eldest princess's eyes widened, her brows furrowed slightly, and she feigned anger as she said, "Why? As your aunt, can't I even give you some jewelry? You and Qianqian are of similar age, so don't be so picky with her! Qianqian is a very kind-hearted child. She's truly a well-behaved and lovely child. I hope you two will spend more time together in the future."
Ye Chuxue's mind was as clear as a mirror. She knew very well that Xue Qianqian was just a cover to deceive others. The real intention of the eldest princess's action must be to target Ye Xinrou.
After all, how could she not know the simple and easy-to-understand truth that people who take favors from others will be grateful? However, Ye Xinrou had already been released home safely by her. If the princess knew about this, she would probably be reluctant to give her this precious set of jewelry.
If that's the case, it would be a waste not to take it. If you don't accept the benefits that are right in front of you, wouldn't you be a fool? Ye Chuxue looked at the eldest princess's face, which was trying hard to suppress her reluctance, calmly, and couldn't help but feel secretly happy in her heart.
Ye Chuxue smiled brightly, her eyes curved. She reached out to take the jewelry box and held it tightly in her arms. Then, she bowed slightly and said softly, "My niece would like to thank you for your generosity. When I have free time, I will definitely visit you and visit my cousin Qianqian."
At this moment, Yun Mushu, who had been sitting on the side, suddenly coughed lightly. His slender fingers were slightly raised, and the whole person looked elegant and calm.
He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, I have come to visit you today because I urgently need your help."
Hearing this, Ye Chuxue, who had been lowering her head in thought, suddenly raised her head. A hint of surprise flashed in her beautiful eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she responded softly, "Your Majesty, you are so kind. I am truly flattered that you show me so much favor. However, please make it clear to me that as long as it is something I can do, I will certainly do my utmost and do my best."
After saying that, Ye Chuxue looked at Yun Mushu curiously, waiting for him to further explain his purpose.
Yun Mushu smiled slightly, then reached into his arms and carefully took out a thick stack of banknotes. Then, he gently placed the stack of banknotes on the table in front of Ye Chuxue.
Seeing the stack of banknotes that suddenly appeared before her, Ye Chuxue couldn't help but frown slightly and asked doubtfully, "Royal brother, what...what on earth does this mean?"
