As for the cruel words Mrs. He said last night, the Prince Jing didn't really take them to heart.
Although the old lady spoke harshly, anyone with eyes could see the pain in her eyes for that girl.
The girl was indeed lucky to have met an old couple like the Ye family, which allowed her to grow up safely.
If she had been in an ordinary household, without financial support, and with a child with a physical ailment at home, she would probably have been abandoned to fend for herself long ago.
But similarly, the fortune of the Ye family who had managed to raise the Prince Jing's Commandery Princess was also a blessing for them!
Without Ye Jiu, the Ye Family would still be struggling for a meal, and they wouldn't have had the wealth and prosperity they now enjoyed and what awaited them in the future.
After finishing breakfast, Ye Jiu had not yet left the house when two giant black eagles flew towards them from the sky; one notably had a white head.
With a cry of the eagles coming through, Ye Jiu already knew who it was.
Turning around and walking outside, just then, Ye Bai and Ye Hei landed in front of her, folding their wings, their huge bodies making Ye Jiu seem like a tiny dwarf by comparison.
"Why have you come?" Ye Jiu asked, having just pacified Prince Jing after breakfast, and she was just about to say she would return. Read complete versıon only at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
Answering her were two eagle cries; unfortunately, Ye Jiu did not understand bird language, and considering they could not transform into humans with so many eyes watching, that was that.
Turning back, Ye Jiu looked towards the house, "Dad, I'm heading back to the Ye Family now."
Prince Jing followed out from inside, "It's not safe for a girl like you to be alone; I'll have someone escort you."
"No need, I have Ye Bai and Ye Hei; they can fly and fight, they're very reliable," Ye Jiu refused.
That brought up confusion for Prince Jing, "Girl, naming these two eagles Ye Bai and Ye Hei is one thing, but who was that tall man who appeared in your yard last time? I heard you call him something white too; what's that about?"
Ye Jiu's heart skipped, and then she smiled awkwardly, "You know, I'm not very educated and not good with names, so the names of the servants in my yard are also a bit random. Ye Bai, Ye Hei, Dabai, Xiaohai, I just call them whatever comes to mind."
Thankfully, Prince Jing did not suspect anything, but still, remembering Ye Jiu's handwriting, he couldn't help saying, "Since you know your shortcomings, you should work harder in your daily life. Don't just think about making money; practice your writing. When you go to the capital city, I'll find you a few more teachers for proper instruction."
The Commandery Princess of the powerful Prince Jing's residence couldn't possibly end up illiterate!
"Sure, I'll take it seriously." At that moment, all she wanted was to gloss over the issue with Ye Bai and Ye Hei.
Although these two eagles were not humans, they were entirely at Ye Jiu's command, and sometimes, animals can be much more reliable than people.
Therefore, when Ye Jiu decided to leave, Prince Jing did not stop her.
Prince Jing was not one to refuse people. As long as Ye Jiu agreed to return to the capital city, he would not prevent her from continuing her association with the Ye family.
Although the Ye Family was not a major clan, it was evident that the old couple genuinely cared for their children, and that was enough.
Ye Jiu left alone because the two eagles were too conspicuous. Fearing they might cause unrest, she asked them to fly out first and find a safe place to transform back to humans before returning.
