Chapter 422: 422 Education
The people who had originally been slaughtered in the hall were all buried under the ruins, and the Second Prince’s wife did not witness that horrible scene. She saw only her husband frightened to such a state, so out of indignation, she could only go to the palace to lodge a complaint.
Of course, these matters came later.
There is no one in the world who is merely pitiful; there are only those who are even more pitiful. Such was the case with the Second Prince at this moment.
Soon after Sikong Mo left, Prince Jing received news from Ye Wenzheng and came over for another sweep.
By then, the Second Prince had already been frightened into a comatose state, and the Second Prince’s wife had entered the palace, leaving Prince Jing to seek trouble on his own. But seeing the current tragic state of the Second Prince’s residence, even he who came looking for trouble did not know where to start.
As for Sikong Mo, upon learning that Ye Jiu had been taken by people from Prince Jing’s residence, he led a group of people angrily towards Prince Jing’s residence not far away.
Unfortunately, by then Ye Jiu had already freed himself and returned to the inn.
Just after leaving the gate of the Second Prince’s residence, Ye Jiu stopped the Princess Consort, “Princess Consort, are you not afraid of bringing calamity to Prince Jing by impulsively being influenced by others?”
The smile on Ye Jiu’s face was not quite a smile, but it stung the eyes of the Princess Consort even more.
It is really strange with women; they can accept the children born to their husband’s legal concubine, but they cannot accept the children secretly fathered by their husband outside.
Because this gives them a feeling of betrayal.
Just like the Princess Consort at this moment, looking at Ye Jiu’s face, which closely resembled Prince Jing’s, felt as if her heart was being wrung by knives.
The Princess Consort had yet to respond to Ye Jiu’s words, but her nanny beside her could no longer bear it as her own Princess Consort was being bullied by a young girl.
“Young lady, our Princess Consort is a lawfully wedded wife to Prince Jing by the decree of the Emperor himself. Even if you are our Prince’s daughter, you should respectfully call our Princess Consort ‘mother’. How dare you speak to our Princess Consort in such a manner? You truly lack upbringing, I wonder how your mother raised you!”
With a swoosh, Ye Jiu’s sharp gaze turned towards the nanny, “How my mother raised me has nothing to do with your Prince Jing’s residence, don’t be foolishly presumptuous. I am not what you think; some mistress’s daughter of Prince Jing. As for our upbringing, I believe, there are things you can never match!”
The last remark was directed at the Princess Consort.
Swapping children, such an idiotic act, indeed, is not something ordinary people could do.
Ye Jiu was desperately comforting himself in his mind; being brain-damaged was already unfortunate enough, he should not argue with someone cognitively impaired.
Prince Jing once said he was a good man, which only elicited a sneer of disdain from Ye Jiu, but now, Ye Jiu was gradually believing his words.
With such a brainless Princess Consort, if Prince Jing were any worse, this woman would probably be torn to pieces without even knowing how she died.
However, Ye Jiu would not fuss with them about today’s incident. They should thank the old nanny for those words back then; otherwise, whoever dared to insult the He family in front of her, she would dare to slap them straight across the face!
Ye Jiu remembered the voice of the nanny, that saying, “Princess Consort, after all, it is a bond between mother and daughter, just hug the Commandery Princess.” To this day, it still deeply lingered in Ye Jiu’s mind.
That tone of sympathy was the first kind expression directed towards Ye Jiu when he came into this world, even though that bit of kindness ultimately had no effect, it was still deeply appreciated in Ye Jiu’s heart.
Every word of Ye Jiu, thick with irony, made the Princess Consort feel as if she had been seen through, suddenly feeling utterly disgraced.
