I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 39: A Big Show

Ye Wanshu protected Qin Chulin and sat back in the carriage. Seeing her aggressive look, Mother Liu did not dare to stop her and had to take people back to report.

The carriage sped along and soon returned to Lin'an City.

Qin Chulin cried all the way. Ye Wanshu coaxed him for a long time. He stopped crying after entering the city and lay quietly in her arms, silent.

Ye Wanshu had heard something about how Concubine Qin first entered the Ji family. It was said that her brother and sister-in-law died in an accident, leaving behind only the newly born Qin Chulin. Concubine Qin became her father's concubine in order to support her nephew.

In Qin Chulin's heart, Aunt Qin and Ji Ningyue were his only relatives. Ye Wanshu could empathize with the feeling of losing loved ones the most. She let him lean on her knees and didn't have the heart to disturb them anymore.

Thinking that she would finally have the chance to avenge her mother today, Ye Wanshu couldn't help but feel excited. She lifted a corner of the car curtain and kept looking out.

With a sudden glance, I saw the convoy from Prince Yongning's Palace coming towards this side.

Recalling the day when she had deceived Fu Mingchi and Fu Yunni, Ye Wanshu felt inexplicably guilty and quickly put the curtain back.

The two carriages met at a corner intersection. As they drove away along two roads, Ye Wanshu faintly heard the little kid's voice.

"Brother, I think I saw a beautiful sister just now."

Fu Yunni lifted the curtain, blinking her small eyes as she stared at the carriage that had turned into another street.

"Don't mess around." Fu Mingchi pulled her chubby little hand back in annoyance: "That's the carriage of the Duke of Rong's Mansion, why is she here?"

Fu Yunni refused to give up and tried to lift the curtain again: "Brother, I really saw the beautiful sister. If you don't believe me, let me go down and identify her for you."

"Okay, let's hurry."

Seeing that the little troublemaker was thinking about that girl, Fu Mingchi's mind inexplicably appeared her figure.

"When we get back to Yuezhou, we'll go find her."

After hearing this, Fu Yunni calmed down.

Fu Mingchi thought about it and realized that she said last time that she would return to Yuezhou soon, so she was probably on the way.

With this in mind, Fu Mingchi gave an order outside: "Speed ​​up the journey and return to Yuezhou as soon as possible."

When she returned to the Ji family again, Ye Wanshu's heart was like a stagnant pool of water, returning to tranquility. She no longer had any illusions and was even unwilling to call Ji Yuan "father" anymore.

But thinking about the purpose of coming back, she decided to continue to pretend to be submissive and put on a good show.

As soon as he gathered his thoughts and got off the carriage, he met Ji Yuan leading Ting Feng out of the courtyard.

Seeing his daughter, Ji Yuan was stunned for a moment, then he smiled with joy, walked up to her with unconcealed excitement, and hugged her tightly.

"Wanwan, my dear daughter, where have you been these days? I hope I can find you."

Ji Yuan said to himself: "I know everything about Xi'er. You didn't do it on purpose. Father won't blame you. Come back with Father."

The master had been gloomy these past few days, and it was rare to see him so happy. Tingfeng quickly echoed him, "Miss, the master has been losing his appetite for so long because of you. If you don't come back, I'm afraid he'll get sick from worry."

"is it?"

Ye Wanshu had already planned how to control this cheap father. She smiled coldly at first, "I see that the Prime Minister looks very happy and doesn't seem to be unwell."

Hearing his daughter call him "Prime Minister," Ji Yuan's face suddenly darkened. His heart felt as if it were covered in a layer of ice, a sharp pain piercing his bones. Slowly releasing Ye Wanshu, he looked at her questioningly and said in a deep voice, "Wanwan, what's wrong with you? Are you still angry with your father?"

Seeing the resentment in her eyes, Ji Yuan explained with a guilty look on his face, "It's my fault that Father didn't explain it to your concubine Zhou, causing her to misunderstand my intentions. I promise that I will never force you to do anything you don't like again. I will let Xier marry into the Qi Palace."

"How does the Prime Minister intend to promise me?"

Ye Wanshu's face remained blank. "Do you want me to become a wandering ghost like Ning Yue?"

"What are you talking about?"

Ji Yuan was a little annoyed when he heard this: "Wanwan, you are father's eldest daughter. Father loves you so much that he can't wait to let you be treated like Yue'er."

Ye Wanshu curled her lips and said, "So, Ning Yue isn't your daughter, so she deserves to die?"

Ji Yuan frowned and sighed, "Yue'er accidentally fell into the water. Father is also very sad about this accident, but the dead cannot be resurrected. Father can't be buried with Yue'er because of her death, right?"

"Did Ning Yue really die accidentally? Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, didn't even investigate, but simply jumped to conclusions based on what others said. Do you truly regard her as your own daughter?"

The alienation in Ye Wanshu's eyes grew stronger. "My last name is Ye, not Ji. I am not your daughter. I hope you, Prime Minister, will respect yourself. I only came here today to seek justice for Ning Yue and her daughter."

Ji Yuan became even more anxious after hearing this, and tried to persuade her earnestly, "Wanwan, how can you say such angry words? You are my blood. Even if your last name is Ye, you are still my daughter."

Only those who have experienced it can understand the feeling of losing and regaining something. Ji Yuan pleaded with deep fear, "Wanwan, what do you want me to do in exchange for your forgiveness? Just tell me. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

Seeing that a turning point had arrived, Ye Wanshu stopped being pretentious and decided to quit while she was ahead.

Just then, Mother Liu came back in a hurry with a group of people. Ye Wanshu glanced at her provocatively, her eyes blinking and tears welling up in her eyes.

"Wanwan is just scared." She tried hard to hold back her tears and sobbed aggrievedly.

Mother Liu was terrified watching from the side, she never thought that the girl would have such an expression.

She knelt down quickly and said in fear and trepidation, "Master, the young lady has been deceived by this little bastard from the Qin family. Please don't listen to her nonsense."

"Shut up," Ji Yuan shouted angrily. Seeing his daughter crying like this, he knew she must have been bullied. He felt even more distressed: "Wanwan, tell Dad, who bullied you?"

Ye Wanshu choked up and said, "Someone just told me that Dad only brought me back because he thought I was useful. He also said that once my second sister becomes the Princess of Qi, there will be no place for me in this mansion. I don't want to end up like my sixth sister, so it's better for me not to return home."

When Ji Yuan heard this, he immediately became furious.

Without thinking too much, you can guess that these words must have come from Mother Liu.

Ji Yuan kicked Mama Liu to the ground with a fierce kick and shouted: "You lowly slave, who allowed you to talk to a young lady like this?"

Zhou Ru, who got the news, led people out quickly and saw the situation at the door.

She forced a smile and quickly came forward, saying hypocritically, "Young lady, why don't you come into the house now that you're back? It's not right for you to stand outside with the master like this. You'll just be laughed at for nothing."

This time, Ji Yuan ignored her and dragged Ye Wanshu back to the yard in a depressed mood.

Qin Chulin also followed in with his aunt's maid, protected by Caiju and Qiuli.

Zhou Ru looked anxious and reminded him loudly, "Master, Prince Qi is about to enter the palace. Why don't you go to the palace?"
