Nanny Gui was already getting impatient, and Gu Ye cursed inwardly, wondering why that damn girl Leng Ruozhen hadn't come over yet.

"You guys go and urge the fourth young lady." Gu Ye pointed at a few maids and said.

"No need for that. I will go and invite the Fourth Young Lady myself." Nanny Gui said coldly.

Nanny Gui had never been treated so badly before. She wanted to see how shameless the Fourth Young Lady was to let a whole room of people wait for her alone.

As soon as Yan Sheng arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw a large group of people in the front hall and had no idea what was going on.

Nanny Gui brought a dozen palace maids and went to Leng Ruozhen's courtyard in a mighty manner.

Seeing that he couldn't stop them, Gu Ye followed them. Leng Yanan, Leng Ruoyun and Leng Ruoqing also followed one after another.

They walked further and further off the beaten track, turning left and right until they finally arrived at a dilapidated courtyard. Aunt Gui frowned as she looked at the courtyard in front of her that didn't even have a gate.

When I walked into the yard, the ground was dirty and messy, with fallen leaves scattered all over the ground. No one had cleaned it up, and there were spider webs everywhere. There was no light in the yard, so it looked very dark.

Yan Sheng looked at this place and felt that it was even more like a haunted house, gloomy and eerie, without any sunlight at all. It would be hard for people not to become depressed if they lived in such a place for a long time.

"The Prime Minister's daughter lives in a courtyard like this?"

Nanny Gui never expected that the fourth young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion actually lived in such a dark, remote and dilapidated courtyard.

"This..." Since Leng Ruozhen's mother died, Gu Ye only sent a wet nurse to take care of Leng Ruozhen. He never asked about Leng Ruozhen's life or death, nor did he see her.

Gu Ye had never expected that Leng Ruozhen lived in such a dilapidated courtyard, and he had no idea that there was such a desolate place in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The backyard has always been managed by Song Yuyin, and Gu Ye has never asked about it.

"Prime Minister, please, please save the Fourth Miss. She is dying."

Caixia suddenly ran out of the house, knelt in front of Guye and said nervously.

Gu Ye was a little confused. Didn’t Feng’er hire a doctor for Leng Ruozhen before?

When they entered the main house, they saw Leng Ruozhen's face was pale as if he was sick, and his thick, curly eyelashes fluttered slightly.

He was frail, his lips were pale, he was wearing washed-out clothes covered with patches, he was half lying on the bed, and he kept coughing up blood.

Leng Ruozhen raised his eyes and saw Gu Ye, with a look of surprise on his face, "Father, is it father?" As he said that, he was about to stand up and salute.

"It's my father, no need to bow." Gu Ye was a little stunned.

After so many years, this was the first time that Gu Ye saw Leng Ruozhen's daughter. He didn't expect that she looked so much like her, even more like her than Song Yuyin.

Yan Sheng lay on the roof, looking at Leng Ruozhen through the gap in the tiles. He was suddenly stunned when he saw her appearance clearly.

Previously, Anfeng and Anxue went to investigate Guye and brought a portrait of Wufeng Sect Leader's sister Wuxin when she was young. Leng Ruozhen looks too much like Wuxin.

It’s true, Guye’s concubines all look like Wuxin, Song Yuyin’s eyes look like him, and Wu Yu’s eyebrows look like him.

And Leng Ruozhen's entire face looks like you, he is really very similar to you.

"Thank you, father. I'm so happy that you can come to see Zhener..." Leng Ruozhen looked at Gu Ye and said happily.

Leng Yanan looked at the sickly Leng Ruozhen and felt that something seemed different about her.

Nanny Gui couldn't help but ask, "Prime Minister, is the Prime Minister's Mansion so poor that it can't even afford to raise a daughter?"

The fourth daughter of the prime minister's family lives in a dark and damp house, wears patched clothes, and is so sick that she has no maid to take care of her and no doctor to treat her. Her life is worse than that of the maids.

"Excuse me, Madam. How dare these traitors treat the Fourth Young Miss so badly? Where is the wet nurse who serves the Fourth Young Miss?" Gu Ye shouted loudly.

"I don't know." Several maids quickly knelt on the ground.

"Why don't you go and call a doctor? Is this how Aunt Song manages the backyard? Tell Song Yuyin to get over to the Fourth Miss's yard right away." Gu Ye said angrily.

The maid was so scared that she rolled over and over, "Yes."

The Prime Minister's Mansion has lost all face today. Song Yuyin is really amazing. Even if she doesn't like Leng Ruozhen, she still has to put in enough effort to be nice to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

As the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public. Now, it has been seen by Aunt Gui, who is a popular figure around the Empress Dowager.

After a while, Song Yuyin hurried over and said in confusion, "Prime Minister, I wonder why you asked me to come here?"

"What's the matter? I would like to ask you, how dare you let Zhen'er live in such a place? Do you think this is a place for people to live?" Gu Ye said with cold eyes.

Song Yuyin felt a little aggrieved when she saw the Prime Minister's eyes. Wasn't this the Prime Minister's tacit approval? The Prime Minister actually treated her like this for this little bitch.

"My Lord, it was the Fourth Miss who wanted to live here. I didn't force her." Song Yuyin said disapprovingly.

Anyway, Leng Ruozhen is a soft persimmon, so I don't think she would dare to say anything.

Gu Ye looked at Leng Ruozhen and said calmly, "Zhen'er, is this the case? If you have any grievances, just tell me. Your father will definitely seek justice for you."

Humph, Song Yuyin, do you still think that Leng Ruozhen is still the fool who is submissive and allows you to manipulate him?

Leng Ruozhen glanced at Song Yuyin cautiously, then said tremblingly, "Yes, yes, it's my daughter who wants to live here—"

It was obvious at first glance that Leng Ruozhen didn't dare to tell the truth because of Song Yuyin, and Gu Ye also understood it in his heart.

"My Lord, the fourth young lady eats rotten meals every day, and is constantly beaten by the third and fifth young ladies. She suffers new injuries plus old ones over and over again. Every time she gets injured or sick, Aunt Song won't let her call a doctor." Caixia said crying.

"What nonsense are you talking about, you slut? When did I whip Leng Ruozhen?" Leng Ruoqing originally wanted Leng Ruozhen to offend the maid in the palace, but she didn't expect to be bitten back.

However, Leng Ruoqing did not whip Leng Ruozhen, she just kept making a fuss and enjoyed watching the fun.

Caixia knelt on the ground, staring intently, and said, "Prime Minister, I have said nothing false."

"I am Caixia, a maid in Concubine Song's courtyard. I saw all this with my own eyes. All the maids in the courtyard know about this. The whip marks on the fourth young lady's body can also prove it."

Song Yuyin's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness, and she looked at Gu Ye aggrievedly, "Prime Minister, this bitch is talking nonsense and wrongly accusing me——"

"That's enough. Do you really think I know nothing? From today on, the management of Song Yuyin's backyard will be handed over to Wu Yu, and she will be confined to her room for a month." Gu Ye said coldly.

Song Yuyin looked at Gu Ye in disbelief and cried, "What? Lord, I know I was wrong. Please don't take back my power as the head of the family."

Gu Ye continued, "You are so disgraceful. Get out of here now. Leng Ruoyan is dead. Leng Ruoqing will not punish him because he is young and ignorant. But if he does it again, I will never let him off easily."

Seeing Gu Ye's cold face and creepy eyes, Song Yuyin didn't dare to say anything more. She could only pull Leng Ruoqing away in shame.
