Just because of this, precisely because Ye Gaosheng was easy to appease, Ye Jiu felt even more guilt.
She really didn’t want to maintain her family ties with lies, but deep in her heart, she feared losing this hard-earned kinship even more.
That was because she dared not imagine, if the Ye Family found out she wasn’t their child, whether they would still treat her the same way as they did now.
Another is the most difficult Qin Zhou, no matter how many incomparable treasures Ye Jiu could obtain, she couldn’t fathom what fate would befall Qin Zhou if he were expelled from the Royal Residence!
Although the Prince had promised to take good care of Qin Zhou, in these times, what was cheaper than promises, right?
Similarly, Mrs. He was also shaken.
In her heart, Ye Jiu had always come across as obedient, lovable, and empathetic, but she never knew that the seemingly innocent Ye Jiu could lie with such imperceptible traces.
Indeed, at such a young age, being able to hide her true identity for so many years without giving anything away, how could her heart be completely pure and flawless?
This was the first time in history that Mrs. He realized this issue, and she began to see the girl she’d raised with her own hands in a new light.
Ye Gaosheng was still unaware of Ye Jiu’s origins, so he didn’t think too much, merely smiling at Ye Jiu and saying, "Although Prince Jing may seem a bit fierce on the surface, he truly treats you well."
It was because his little sister was clever and adorable, after all, with so many girls in the world, why else would Prince Jing treat his little sister in such a special way?
Looking at her son, who still had a silly look on his face, Mrs. He found it unbearable to watch.
However, she thought back to the past, when she too was unaware of her daughter’s origins and realized she was no different from the current Ye Gaosheng.
After all, if one did not hear it with their own ears, who would believe that the child they thought they had given birth to and raised themselves actually belonged to someone else?
Just as Mrs. He’s thoughts were in turmoil, Ye Jiu suddenly stepped forward, walked to the chest, and then directly opened it.
Inside were neatly stacked small boxes that looked somewhat like jewelry boxes, only there were quite a number of them.
Ye Jiu took one out and opened it, only to see a neatly arranged set of jewelry inside. Though not extravagant, one could instantly tell that each piece was a treasure. She opened several more, and they were all the same, varying only in style and material.
Opening the second chest, it contained sets of clothes all suited for her age.
Ye Jiu took a deep uncomfortable breath. What was Prince Jing doing? Was he afraid others couldn’t guess the nature of their relationship?
The third chest contained various garments made from precious furs, each glance at them nearly blinding.
The fourth and fifth chests were filled with valuable fabrics, amassing as if they cost him nothing.
The subsequent chests were mostly filled with precious foods, with bird’s nests and ginseng appearing in abundance.
Ye Jiu looked at all the valuable treasures box by box, feeling an immense pressure in her heart.
She decisively turned around, pulled Mrs. He closer, and said, "Mother, look, there are so many things here that we can’t even buy with money. Especially these medicines and foods, which are just perfect for replenishing yours and Father’s health."
Ye Jiu’s words instantly shattered the messy thoughts in Mrs. He’s heart, leaving her filled with overwhelming gratitude.
