Yan Shuyao's face was already red and swollen from being beaten, and now it became even redder.

She covered her face and cried with great grievance.

Xu Jingye watched all this with great resentment and had long wanted to step forward to mediate, but now was a critical period in the fight for the throne, and the help of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was so important. Even without the help of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, he did not want the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to become his enemy.

So he hesitated again and again, but finally endured it.

But now that Old Madam Wen is humiliating Yan Shuyao in this way, she is also slapping herself in the face.

No matter what, he had to stand up.

He suppressed his anger, put on his fake and gentle smile, and said, "Old Madam, Yao'er is at least the princess of my Ye Palace. I hope that Madam, for the sake of this prince, you will be more careful with your words."

Old Madam Wen looked at Xu Jingye and chuckled.

"If Your Highness uses your imperial power to speak up for a concubine's daughter born to a lowly servant in the Prime Minister's Mansion, I will of course give Your Highness face."

Xu Jingye was surprised. It was the first time he heard that Yan Shuyao's mother was actually a maid?

Born as a maid?

He looked at Prime Minister Yan in confusion.

Prime Minister Yan was embarrassed. He coughed and said, "Your Highness, it's getting late. I have something important to discuss with you. Let's leave first."

After saying that, he said goodbye to the old couple He Wen, and was about to leave with Yan Shuyao and Xu Jingye.

The old couple Wen did not stop them.

He just watched the three people walk around him and head towards the gate.

When they reached the door, Prime Minister Yan suddenly turned around, a forced smile on his face, "Shu'er, why don't you follow me?"

Yan Yunshu twitched her lips and said, "Prime Minister, you are confused. My home is in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery."

Prime Minister Yan's face froze and he felt unwell.

Only now did he realize the seriousness of the matter.

Just now, he gave the title deed of the Liuli Villa, which he always kept with him, to Yan Yunshu. He was very reluctant to part with it and had thought of asking her to return it after returning to the mansion. But now she actually said that she was no longer a member of the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Could it be that if she really married into Prince Huai's Mansion, the betrothal gifts prepared by Xu Jinghuai would not be accepted into the Prime Minister's Mansion?

He looked at Yan Yunshu in horror.

Yan Yunshu smiled and said, "I still need to trouble my grandparents to arrange my marriage."

Prime Minister Yan felt completely disappointed.

He let go of the hands holding Yan Shuyao and Xu Jingye and looked at Yan Yunshu seriously.

"Shu'er, this is no joke. In Tianze, there has never been a precedent of children marrying off their maternal grandparents without their parents around!"

"Prime Minister Yan, then this precedent will start with me."

"Nonsense!!"

Yan Yunshu looked at the furious Prime Minister Yan and knew exactly what he was thinking. She sneered and said to her grandparents, "I want to go home."

Mr. and Mrs. Wen nodded repeatedly.

Neither of them wanted to say anything more and left with Yan Yunshu.

Looking at Yan Yunshu's back as she left.

Prime Minister Yan was about to spit out blood.

His veins popped out and he looked like he was going crazy.

His Liuli Villa, his generous betrothal gift from Huaiwang Mansion, ah ah ah, he felt like he was about to break apart.

Suddenly, he felt dizzy and fainted.

"Prime Minister Yan!"

"Daddy!"

……

Prime Minister's House.

When Prime Minister Yan slowly woke up, it was already dark. He looked around and found that there was only a maid by his side.

He called the maid, and when the maid saw that the master had woken up, she hurriedly informed him and then came to serve Prime Minister Yan.

Prime Minister Yan asked, "Where is my aunt?"

"Master, my aunt said she has been overworked these past few days and is resting. She also said that if the master wakes up, she will send someone to notify her to come over."

Prime Minister Yan looked at the gloomy room and couldn't help feeling a little sad.

In the past, whenever he had a minor bump or bruise, Aunt Zhu would always take care of him and show him great concern, but today he fainted.

Why wasn't my aunt here by my side?

It was as if he could see the doubts in the master's heart.

The maid said, "When my aunt came home today, she threw a tantrum in the yard and smashed a lot of tables and chairs. Maybe she was tired and angry."

"loose the temper?!"

Prime Minister Yan asked the maid to help him lean against the bed, "Why are you so angry?"

"This slave doesn't know either."

Prime Minister Yan did not ask any further questions. He frowned, and what happened in Tianxiang Tower today came to his mind again.

Yan Yunshu!

This rebellious girl is going to kill herself!

Thinking of Liuli Villa and the betrothal gifts, he still felt heartbroken.

He sighed towards the window for a long time.

Aunt Zhu finally arrived late.

The room was dim, and Prime Minister Yan could not see Aunt Zhu's face clearly.

The only sound she gave was her indifferent voice.

So he asked, "I heard that Madam was angry at home today?"

"Ah."

"Madam, this is..."

"Why did you give Liuli Villa to that damn girl?"

This time I got to the point.

Why?

Isn’t it still that golden hairpin?

Prime Minister Yan was already unhappy with Aunt Zhu's cold attitude towards him, and now that this matter was brought up, he became even more annoyed.

"If I still had any other options, could I give her Liuli Villa? Who asked you to prepare that gold hairpin for my coming-of-age ceremony?"

"Master also agreed to use the gold hairpin as a coming-of-age gift! Why are you blaming me now?"

"I'm not blaming you, you're the one asking!"

"Since the gold hairpin doesn't work, can't we just send this coming-of-age gift off quickly? Won't the master say we can make up for it when we get back home?!"

Aunt Zhu's words were shocking.

Prime Minister Yan was stunned.

The laws of Datianze regarding legitimate and illegitimate wives and concubines are so strict. Aunt Zhu doesn't take her own life seriously!

"Madam, don't you know that if I didn't send you off, or if I said I'd send you off later, I'd be sitting in jail right now!"

"So what if you spend some time in jail? Won't His Highness save you for Yao'er's sake? You've ruined Liuli Villa just because you suffered a little injustice. You're so foolish!"

"You! Am I more important, or is the villa more important?"

"I don't care. Master must take back Liuli Villa from that bitch!"

Prime Minister Yan had a stern face, and was angry and anxious.

Aunt Zhu quickly coaxed, "Master, I was a little harsh just now, but wasn't I also thinking about our Nian'er? Yao'er is going to marry into the palace as a princess, and she has her own plans for the dowry, but our Nian'er is already grown up. Although she is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, if she doesn't have a strong family property to support her, how can she find a young lady from an aristocratic family to discuss marriage?"

The implication is that he hopes Prime Minister Yan will leave Liuli Villa to Zhu Nianyan.

But it would have been fine if Zhu Nianyan had not been mentioned. Once he mentioned it, Prime Minister Yan remembered the ugly incident that happened today, and he became even more upset.

I don't want to say another word.

"Madam, please go back."

He said this with a dark face, and then said coldly to the maid, "Send the lady back."

That night, two princesses will leave the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shrouded in anxiety and gloom.

……

At Prince Ye's Mansion, Xu Jingye listened to his subordinates reporting on Yan Shuyao's mother's life experience with a complicated expression on his face.
