Chapter 737: 737 is a bit nervous
Ye Gaoshi and Ye Gaoshui went out and just happened to find that the Prince had just mounted his horse but hadn’t left yet.
Neither of them had ever seen the Prince, nor any significant figures, and simply thought such an important person visiting them must surely be a blessing for their family.
“Big brother, do you think we can ask the Prince about the soap business?” Ye Gaoshui hesitated.
Perhaps such a small profit might not appeal to others, but for them, earning money was crucial to supporting their family. They had to give it up before, but now with an opportunity at hand, it was hard to let go.
Ye Gaoshi, with a more cautious personality, said, “Let’s not. We don’t have any relationship with the Prince, and offending someone so powerful isn’t something we can afford. Life has finally gotten better, so let’s not look for trouble.”
Ye Gaoshui thought it over from all angles, feeling reluctant, but also fearful of offending the powerful figure and losing even the good days they now had. So, he ultimately had to give it up.
Old Man Ye went inside the house and chatted non-stop with Mrs. He for a long time, unfortunately, Ye Jiu knew nothing of this.
That night, the Prince tossed and turned, unable to sleep well past midnight.
He knew that a large part of the reason Ye Jiu had ended up displaced was his own doing.
Even though he was reluctant to admit it, he could not erase this responsibility.
In this affair, although the Princess Consort was at fault and had been punished, he remained free and unfettered, not because his mistakes were lesser, but because he had a stronger backing. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ 𝖓𝖔𝖛𝖊𝖑~𝖋𝖎𝖗𝖾~𝖓𝖊𝖙
Thus, in this affair, everyone else had been punished, including a royal side consort who was sent back to her mother’s house, yet he was only scolded a few times by the emperor, which hardly made him flinch, as he was soon comforted by the queen mother.
Similarly, Ye Jiu was also deep in thought.
Could a sentence stating it wasn’t entirely her fault make up for the suffering she had endured over the years?
As one might expect, it could not.
When facing the Prince, she might act wilfully once, twice, but she couldn’t afford to be wilful forever.
Because her status was clear, and she couldn’t bear the consequences that might come on the day she ran out of his patience.
Yet, despite both being at fault, she hated the Princess Consort and repeatedly sought to please the Prince. Even Ye Jiu sometimes felt she was being hypocritical.
Ye Jiu once heard a saying: without standing in another’s position, one can never understand how difficult their choices can be.
So, she put herself in the role of the Princess Consort.
If she faced such a situation without memories of a former life and without the Plane Space, what would she do?
The final result was, she herself didn’t know.
When she was abandoned, she thought if she ever had a child, she would give him the best of everything and never let him suffer any distress.
But the reality was she didn’t have a child, nor could she understand a mother’s thoughts.’
At dawn, the Prince led his men to the farm early in the morning, waiting and waiting, until the sweet potatoes were already loaded onto the cart, but he still hadn’t seen Ye Jiu come.
The Prince, feeling helpless, grew even more anxious. Could it be that the girl was actually angry?
Turning to Ye Changsheng who was standing by, the Prince asked, “Where is Ye Jiu? Why hasn’t she come?”
“Replying to the Prince, this commoner does not know,” answered Ye Changsheng.
Could he say that when he went to call her in the morning, Ye Jiu was still lying in bed not yet up?
As one might expect, he could not.
Otherwise, it would seem that his niece was particularly lazy. Even if a girl isn’t diligent, it absolutely must not be said that she is lazy.
