Chapter 101 The truth, I’ll just write it down!
If we have to say, among the people present now, except Ye Jinshu and the third princess, who are born of legitimate parents, both the fourth prince and the fifth prince are born of illegitimate children.
Ye Jinshu's remarks that clearly showed contempt for concubine's daughters should have made the Fourth Prince and the Fifth Prince, who were also concubines, uncomfortable. But strangely, perhaps because Ye Jinshu's emotions did not contain any real contempt, they only felt sadness from his words just now.
The third princess' experience was the most direct.
She is the legitimate daughter, and she has an eldest legitimate brother, who is her only biological brother and the only brother she recognizes in her heart.
Her brother is the crown prince, and the responsibilities on his shoulders prevent him from ignoring his half brothers and half sisters. But every time the third princess saw her brother cleaning the butts of the children born to his father's concubine, she felt disgusted.
It is obvious that their father was very happy when he was with them, so why did he have so many children?
It would be fine if they were all born by her mother, but they are all other women's children.
She also felt sick.
But looking at Chu Wu, who is helpless, with an incompetent mother and a disliked father, and whose life in the palace is worse than that of a servant, she feels aggrieved and even thinks that it would be better not to be born in the palace in the first place than to live like this and suffer in the palace.
But then she figured it out.
"It wasn't something Ye Ruoyan could choose to be born from that kind of woman's belly. You are just venting your anger on her."
The third princess was both persuading Ye Jinshu and herself.
Ye Jinshu didn't expect the Third Princess to say something so reasonable. He was shocked: "You actually said something like that."
The third princess realized what Ye Jinshu meant, and her face instantly turned red. She pretended to be polite: "What do you mean!"
"What I mean is that I thought you only knew how to curse."
The third princess wanted to refute, but when she recalled the scenes when she met Ye Jinshu before, she found that he was indeed cursing at her, so she didn't know what to refute.
At this time, Ye Jinshu continued, "At first, I was just unhappy when I found out that I had a concubine sister, but I didn't intend to target her. I really started to take action against her after the Empress arranged a marriage for me and the Crown Prince, but I found out that the Crown Prince had left me to accompany Ye Ruoyan."
"I also discovered that Ye Ruoyan would take a copy of everything the prince gave me. The prince's treatment was not unique to me. Later, I understood that the prince gave me gifts so that he could have an excuse to give Ye Ruoyan one as well."
"Third Princess, let me ask you, if your husband had such close contact with your concubine sister after being engaged to you, how would you react?"
Originally, the third princess had no sense of empathy for what Ye Jinshu had experienced. After all, from her perspective, Ye Jinshu relied on the favor of his father, the emperor, and his mother, the empress, to act tyrannically in the palace.
The reason why Ye Ruoyan was bullied was because Ye Jinshu himself was arrogant and domineering.
But now, Ye Jinshu first expressed her opinion of Ye Ruoyan and her sadness, which made the third princess feel empathy, after all, she was in the same situation.
Later, she used her favorite prince consort as a metaphor, which directly increased the sense of immersion.
The third princess slapped Chu Wu's back fiercely and said, "If any swordsman dares to snatch her from me, I will marry her to someone else!"
Ye Jinshu encouraged the third princess: "What a good idea, Princess!"
The third princess blushed: "It's just so-so."
"So can you please help me persuade the prince to agree to cancel the engagement with me? I also want to marry the prince to someone else."
The third princess wanted to agree immediately, but after a while she realized what Ye Jinshu had said was shocking. She looked at Ye Jinshu in horror and said, "No, Ye Jinshu, are you crazy?!"
To dare to ask a prince of a country to get married is extremely disrespectful!
But Ye Jinshu looked like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water and nodded: "Yes, I'm crazy. Go and tell the Emperor and Empress that a lunatic is not worthy of being a Crown Princess." The third princess originally thought that her impression of Ye Jinshu had improved, but now that Ye Jinshu had made such a fuss, she changed her mind again.
Ye Jinshu is still that annoying guy.
"Don't even think about me helping you! Chu Wu, come here!"
Chu Wu and the Fourth Prince were both shocked by what they had just heard, and it took them a long time to recover.
The third princess didn't want to stay in Anping Palace any longer, so she just started dragging the man away.
After Chu Wu disappeared from Anping Palace, the Fourth Prince suddenly promised Ye Jinshu with a firm face: "Jinshu, don't worry, I will never tell my elder brother what you just said."
Ye Jinshu quickly shook his head: "No, don't, you must tell your elder brother to take back your kindness and keep it for yourself, I don't want to accept it."
These were clearly harsh words, but to Chu Si it felt as if Ye Jinshu was caring for him.
When the thought "Jinshu must have said this because he doesn't want to implicate me" appeared in his mind, the Fourth Prince felt that he was crazy.
"Do you want to break off your engagement with your elder brother?"
"Correct."
"I'll help you."
"Hmm? How are you going to help?"
The fourth prince considered for a moment, and finally approached Ye Jinshu carefully and said, "In fact, father is now considering including Ye Ruoyan in the selection of the crown princess. As long as Ye Ruoyan can show her value more, father will speak up."
When Ye Jinshu heard this, he felt a chill in his heart.
Although she had such a premonition a long time ago, she still felt a little uncomfortable when it really came true.
This is the truth she finally discovered after dying five times.
It turned out that it was not that he could not defeat Ye Ruoyan, but that the person who gave him power gave more power to Ye Ruoyan.
Ye Ruoyan was the one chosen.
Ye Jinshu's heart was filled with emotions, but in the end he only uttered two words: "Thank you."
Not long after that, Jiang Sisi sent invitations to Anping Palace several times but Ye Jinshu remained indifferent. Jiang Sisi had no choice but to go to the palace herself.
When Jiang Sisi saw Ye Jinshu, she was shocked. Ye Jinshu, who originally looked carefree and lively, turned out to be like a dying man not long after.
"Jinshu, what's wrong with you?"
Ye Jinshu became more energetic when he saw Jiang Sisi coming: "Sister Jiang is here."
"What happened? You became like this just because Ji Yanqing is not here?"
When Ye Jinshu suddenly heard Ji Yanqing's name, she felt as if she was in another world. If she had met Ji Yanqing earlier, or if Ji Yanqing had always been by her side, would she be able to judge which was true and which was false?
"Sister Jiang, I just realized that I feel like I'm living a lie. Also, Sister Jiang, please pay attention to whether there is any money or property in your home that shouldn't be there. Check the account books more often to prevent Prime Minister Jiang from being slandered for corruption."
knock off!
