Chapter 397: 397 Wilted Father and Daughter Duo Chapter 397: 397 Wilted Father and Daughter Duo Compared to the jubilant Prince, Ye Jiu’s laugh was brimming with sarcasm, “And who else would it be but me!”
Immediately after, a torrent of accusations rained down relentlessly on the Prince’s heart, “I say, even though we’re just ordinary farmer’s sons with no special skills, I, Ye Jiu, believe I did my best in rescuing the Prince. I also exerted myself all the way back from Nanchang. Yet, filled with joy to be back in Dongyue, the Yue Family of Prince Jing snatched our family’s Soap Formula, and they cruelly broke my older brother’s leg and left him to beg on the streets. I really want to ask, what deep hatred does Prince Jing and our family have, and where have I offended you?”
“You’re saying the Soap Formula is your family’s?” Prince Jing felt like he had found the reason Sikong Mo was targeting him.
“I wouldn’t dare to say so, just to avoid later being accused of stealing from the Liu Family and having my leg broken too!” Ye Jiu said.
“I’ve heard about this matter, but I’m not very clear about the truth of the situation.” And because of this matter, he’d been scolded for no reason, which left Prince Jing feeling extremely upset.
Glancing at the still furious Ye Jiu, Prince Jing said, “Girl, how about this? Let’s find a place to sit down and talk it over. You tell me what happened, and I swear on my honor, if the Liu Family is at fault, I will not favor them and will ensure they give you and your siblings a proper explanation.”
Mad about being unjustly reprimanded, Prince Jing was already not looking favorably upon the Liu Family. Given his brazen nature, if the Liu Family dared to bully others under his name, he was willing to personally tarnish their reputation.
No matter how rich, they were still just merchants. Had it not been for the Liu Family’s wealth during the war when the national treasury was empty, and his father the Emperor needing the Liu Family’s financial support, he, the esteemed Prince Jing, would not have married a merchant’s daughter.
Plainly put, it was essentially his father the Emperor who sold him out for money; and now that the Liu Family had done something wrong, it somehow all became his fault.
Prince Jing felt that there was no one in the world as wronged as he was!
Fortunately, even though the Liu Family wasn’t great, the Princess Consort was still quite attractive and had a gentle disposition, which was his only consolation. However, her only flaw was her lack of discernment about people, which was enough to give Prince Jing a headache.
But, these were not major issues, so Prince Jing had never taken them to heart.
As for Prince Jing’s suggestion, Ye Jiu thought it was acceptable.
Furthermore, there was no guarantee that Sikong Mo’s attempt to find an Imperial Physician would work, but as a Prince born of royalty, casually summoning an Imperial Physician should be feasible, right?
Ye Jiu’s eyes darted around, and he came up with an idea, “Fine, you go ahead, and I’ll follow in a moment.”
“What are you planning?” Prince Jing immediately went on guard. He hadn’t forgotten that, just a while ago while he was hiding to the side, he saw what kind of action this girl wanted to take!
Looking at Liu Sansan on the ground, if Ye Jiu’s iron rod had come down earlier, this young man would have likely been crippled if not killed.
“What else could I be doing? This kid has already crippled my brother’s leg, can’t I teach him a lesson and vent my anger?” Ye Jiu stated, righteousness filling his voice, leaving Prince Jing unable to rebut.
It so happened that Prince Jing was feeling annoyed today too, but given his status, he, as the uncle through marriage, didn’t feel it was appropriate to lay hands on his wife’s family’s nephew.
So, Prince Jing coughed lightly and discreetly moved to the side, “Well… be careful when you do it. I’m still not clear about the truth of the matter; don’t end up killing him.”
