The scumbag was secretly having an affair, while I was openly having an affair with the prince.

Chapter 119 I Want to Remarry

"You...you're spouting nonsense, are you implying I'm unworthy to be the crown prince?" Yu Chi Rui's face turned ashen.

"Whether you are worthy to be the crown prince is not for me to decide. I only know that those who hold the power of life and death should respect life and death, not despise human life by relying on their power!" After Yu Chi Ling finished speaking, he knelt down on the dragon throne and said in a deep voice, "Father, you said before that the other party was targeting me, so I will take charge of this matter. I will definitely investigate to the end and give Father an explanation."

Yu Chi Sheng looked at him with deep eyes.

The two sons rarely worked together, especially Prince Cheng, who had been training on the frontier. Even though he had returned to the capital more than a year ago, he had not taken up a post in the court due to his leg injury. As a result, he did not know much about Prince Cheng's state of mind.

Right now, listening to Prince Cheng's resounding words, "Those who hold the power of life and death should respect life and death even more, rather than despise human life by relying on their power and weapons!" He felt inexplicably excited. Shouldn't a ruler have this mindset?

pity……

The Celestial Master Fang Ji said that only the eldest son could ensure the peace and prosperity of the Great Ye Kingdom...

Seeing that the Crown Prince was still dissatisfied and wanted to speak, he said in a deep voice, "This matter originated from Prince Cheng, so let Prince Cheng investigate it thoroughly."

Yu Chi Rui had no choice but to lower his eyes and reply, "Yes!"

After expressing his gratitude, Yu Chi Ling stood up and said, "Father, I need to return to the palace to discuss countermeasures with Physician Hua. Please tell Mother to take care of herself. I will not disturb her any longer."

Yu Chisheng pursed his lips uncomfortably.

This mother and son are truly incompatible!

Forget it, it's better to see them less often than to see them at odds, so he won't be bothered.

"Go back."

……

After leaving the Golden Palace, Yu Chi Ling, Ye Shi Shu, Ye Shi Jun, and Gu Si Mo headed straight for the palace gates and returned to the Prince Cheng's residence.

"To be honest, I'm really reluctant to let that woman go," Ye Shishu said indignantly.

“Little sister, don’t worry. Once that woman is exposed, she loses her usefulness to the Crown Prince and Consort Lan. We don’t even need to lift a finger; the Crown Prince and Consort Lan won’t tolerate her!” Ye Shijun comforted her. “I know you want her to confess who’s behind this, but even if she does, so what? The Crown Prince and Consort Lan can justify it by saying she’s slandering them. They might even turn around and say we were the ones who ordered it. After all, so far, we’re the only ones who have openly had dealings with Huaxiang Pavilion.”

Gu Simo nodded in agreement, "Shi Jun is right. Judging from the words of the Crown Prince and Consort Lan, in addition to wanting to deal with the Prince, they also want to stir up trouble and use the power of the court to deal with Hua Xiang Pavilion."

Ye Shijun glanced at his brother-in-law and laughed, "Your Highness's purpose today should only be to expose her and warn the Crown Prince and Consort Lan that such despicable methods are not only useless, but will also bring shame upon themselves. Your Highness, don't you agree?"

Yu Chi Ling's lips curled up slightly.

Seeing that he could still smile, Ye Shishu knew that her second brother was right. His purpose today was not to break ties with the Crown Prince and Consort Lan, but simply to 'throw' the fake Ni Xiao back to the Crown Prince and Consort Lan.

"Your Highness, General Ye has arrived," Wen Yan announced from outside the door.

Ye Gengxin entered the study and, seeing everyone there, asked directly, "I've heard about what happened in the palace. Have you sent anyone to apprehend that woman?"

Ye Shishu led him to a seat and comforted him with a smile, "Don't worry, Dad, he won't run away."

Ye Gengxin frowned at her, "Consort Lan has suffered such a great fright, why aren't you in the palace with her?"

Night sweats, "..."

Given her father's temper, if he told her that the fake Ni Xiao was created by Consort Lan and the Crown Prince with the aim of ruining her relationship with Prince Cheng, she was sure her father would immediately run to Consort Lan to demand an explanation!

“Father-in-law, Shu’er was also frightened. I couldn’t bear to see her suffer, so I took her back to the manor,” Yu Chi Ling explained on her behalf.

Ye Gengxin carefully looked his daughter over, then looked his son and daughter-in-law over, and asked, "Are you all alright?"

Gu Simo replied with a smile, "Father, we're all fine. We were just exhausted after confronting that woman for a long time to save Consort Lan. Fortunately, everyone is safe and sound, and we'll be fine after a rest."

"It's good that she's alright!" Ye Gengxin breathed a sigh of relief, then his face darkened with hatred. "Who exactly is that woman? What is her purpose? How dare she be so audacious as to come to Prince Cheng's residence to commit fraud? You must capture her and interrogate her thoroughly!"

"Dad, don't worry, we'll find a way to catch her," Gu Simo comforted him.

Ye Gengxin, the son-in-law of the new dynasty, looked over and smiled apologetically, "Your Highness, I shouldn't have misunderstood you that day."

Yu Chi Ling curled his lips, "My father-in-law is just being overly protective of his daughter, so I won't take it to heart."

Ye Gengxin glanced around the study, then looked towards the door, and suddenly asked his daughter, "Shu'er, has Ninth Aunt returned?"

Ye Shishu frowned slightly, "Hasn't Ninth Aunt been staying with you at the General's Mansion all this time?"

Ye Gengxin's face turned awkward. "Well... I misunderstood the Prince that day and didn't listen to Aunt Jiu's explanation... When I got back, your eldest brother said she packed her valuables and left."

Ye Shishu, "..."

She was convinced too!

She was planning to return to the General's Mansion after resolving the issue of the fake Ni Xiao, and then arrange her father's and Ninth Aunt's wedding. They couldn't remain in this state of confusion forever...

But even though she was right next to her father, he actually made her run away!

Faced with the silence of the younger generation, Ye Gengxin couldn't help but blush. But he was already here; what was there to hold back?

Then he looked at his son-in-law and said bluntly, "Your Highness, I want to remarry. Let's pick a day for Ninth Aunt to officially enter the family?"
