Then Ye Chuxue withdrew her gaze from Yun Muheng, looked at Ye Xinrou and Chang, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Oh, my dear sister, now you know that I am Princess Yunxin? If so, why don't you quickly bow to me when you see me? After all, I do things according to the rules! Don't let anyone catch you in the act."

Ye Chuxue used to be very stupid. Ye Xinrou often bullied her, beat and scolded her, but she didn't dare to fight back, let alone make Ye Xinrou so angry that she couldn't speak.

Ye Xinrou saw that Ye Chuxue was very different from before. She didn't expect that her personality had also changed drastically. For a moment, she was speechless by Ye Chuxue's words and could only look anxiously at Chang beside her.

Chang patted her hand gently, signaling her to calm down. Then, with dignity, she spoke slowly, "Alright, we're all family. Why put on airs? Just get along like usual."

"Oh? We get along as usual? Madam, it seems like we don't get along as usual. Today the prince is here, and you don't even look at me, the princess. If the prince is not here, will I be bullied by you like before?" After saying this, she pretended to be aggrieved and wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Four years ago, when I was thrown here just after giving birth, why didn’t this so-called biological mother come? Now she starts talking about family members. Forget it, I can’t bear it.

When Chang heard Ye Chuxue call her "Madam," her face immediately turned furious. "Asshole! I'm your mother! How come you still want me to bow to you?"

Ye Chuxue raised her eyebrows: "Mother? Haha, have you ever fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother since you were little?"

"Also, you are a first-rank imperial consort, and I am the princess married to the prince. In terms of seniority, my status is much higher than yours. Is it wrong for me to ask you to perform the ceremony?"

Chang was so angry that she pointed her finger at Ye Chuxue and said angrily, "You rebellious girl, I should have strangled you to death when you were born to prevent you from having the opportunity to disobey me."

Ye Chuxue looked at her with disdain: "Then I should thank you, it's a good thing you didn't strangle me to death!"

But a trace of sadness flashed through Ye Chuxue's heart. Although her real daughter was not strangled to death by her, she died of dystocia. She wondered if they would feel sad when they knew it.

But it seems that won't happen! After all, ever since Ye Chuxue got married, they treated her as if she didn't exist. They even didn't let them go back to her parents' home because Ye Xinrou was sick and needed to be taken care of.

When Ye Chuxue learned that she was pregnant, she sent someone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to inform them. However, the servant who came back said that Chang said not to look for them unless it was something important.

After being driven to this villa for four years, they still did not show their faces.

So, what family affection was there? Even if the original owner were alive now, she would not forgive them. She could only live her life well for the original owner. She had no right to forgive them on the original owner's behalf. All she could do was protect Xiao Tuanzi and Xiao Yuanzi and try not to leave any regrets.

Just as Ye Chuxue was lost in thought, Yun Muheng's voice rang out, unquestionable, "Why? Can't my princess bear your respects?"

Chang hadn't expected Yun Muheng to actually protect Ye Chuxue. She immediately pulled Ye Xinrou to her knees in fear and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. I didn't mean to do that. It's just that I haven't seen Xue'er in years, and I only think of her as my daughter, so I didn't kneel down and pay my respects."

After saying that, Chang looked up at Yun Muheng nervously.

Yun Muheng looked at Chang and Ye Xinrou kneeling on the ground with an indifferent expression, without saying a word.

Ye Chuxue didn't expect Yun Muheng to help her. She walked to his side and looked at him with confusion.

Yun Muheng met her doubtful gaze, and whispered with his thin lips: "How can I allow others to bully my people at will!"

Time passed minute by minute, and finally Chang Shi could no longer bear the pressure brought by Yun Muheng. She looked up at Ye Chuxue and said reluctantly: "Your Highness greets the Princess!"

Seeing that Chang had already bowed to Ye Chuxue, Ye Xinrou's eyes flashed with jealousy and resentment. She followed Chang and said, "Your humble servant greets the princess."

Seeing the two of them being frustrated, Ye Chuxue felt very happy and said calmly, "Get up!"

"Thank you, Princess!"

As soon as they stood up, Ye Chuxue said nonchalantly, "What do you want to do here?"

Seeing Yun Muheng still had a stern face beside her, Chang was a little frightened. She didn't dare to act as domineering as before. She pretended to be intimate and said, "It's nothing. I just haven't seen you for so many years. Mother missed you very much. I happened to be free today, so I came to see you with your sister."

Unexpectedly, Ye Chuxue didn't buy her story at all: "You can see that I eat well, drink well, and sleep well. Don't worry about me. If you have nothing else, go back. After all, my place is rather simple, and I'm afraid I can't entertain you well enough."

Chang didn't expect that Ye Chuxue would not give her any face at all. Her face was black, red, and white at this moment, as colorful as a color palette.

Ye Chuxue used to be as timid as a mouse and never treated her like this now.

She suppressed her anger, sighed, and then said with embarrassment: "Actually, I really have a small matter that I need your help with."

Seeing that Ye Chuxue didn't say anything, she continued, "Yesterday, I heard that you made your father very angry at the banquet in the imperial palace, and even denied your father in public. After your father came back, he seriously reflected on it and realized that he had neglected you all these years. He felt very guilty. He had wanted to come with us to see you today, but because he was too worried and didn't sleep all night, he caught a cold. So, I want you to go back and see your father."

Ye Chuxue sneered in her heart. The fox's tail was finally exposed. Could it be that he really thought I was as stupid as before? If I really went, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to help myself!

Thinking of this, a trace of worry appeared on Ye Chuxue's face: "Is the Prime Minister okay?"

Ye Xinrou quickly said, "Something's wrong. Daddy's condition is very serious. He couldn't get out of bed this morning."

"In that case, why don't you go back and call a doctor? Why ask me? I'm not a medicine that can cure all diseases!" After saying that, a trace of helplessness flashed in Ye Chuxue's eyes.

Seeing that Ye Chuxue was not moved by any persuasion, Chang and Ye Xinrou looked at each other and saw the embarrassment on each other's faces.

Yun Muheng couldn't hold it back any longer and burst out laughing. He then looked at Chang apologetically and said, "I just thought of a really funny joke and couldn't help myself. However, I think the princess is right. You should really go and call the doctor instead of calling the princess. If the Prime Minister's illness is passed on to the princess, can you bear the responsibility?"
