Ye Chuxue listened to every word he said, every word was to defend Ye Xinrou, she couldn't help but wonder: I just don't understand, I am a legitimate daughter, my father and mother are still alive, why do you treat a concubine's daughter better than me? People who don't know would think Ye Xinrou is a legitimate daughter!

She knew it was pointless to ask these questions, so she laughed at herself and said, "Since the Prime Minister has spoken, it would be unfilial of me to disagree."

Ye Chuxue pondered for a moment: "How about this, I am the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, isn't that good?"

Although Ye Lingnan didn't know what she wanted to do, he still nodded in cooperation.

Ye Chuxue raised the corner of her mouth in a charming smile. "Then please ask the Prime Minister to prepare a dowry according to the requirements of a legitimate daughter and send it to Prince Yunxin's mansion. Also, it's okay for me to forgive Ye Xinrou, but the suffering and hardships I have endured over the past few years cannot be in vain."

"What else do you want?" Ye Lingnan asked patiently despite some dissatisfaction in his tone.

"At that time, Ye Xinrou slandered me, saying that the jade pendant in my dowry belonged to her, so I asked that servant to search my room. Now that that's the case, I remember my younger sister has a top-quality heart-knot jade pendant. How about giving it to you? I can't let you take the blame for nothing!"

After saying that, she glanced at Ye Xinrou calmly. In fact, she didn't really want Ye Xinrou's jade pendant, but because the jade pendant itself belonged to Ye Chuxue.

It was given to her by someone she saved as a child. It was also Ye Chuxue's first friend, so she cherished it.

But Ye Xinrou couldn't stand seeing Ye Chuxue doing well, so she would snatch away anything she cared about.

When Ye Xinrou heard her words, her face became distorted with anger, and she looked like a devil from hell.

But then Ye Xinrou thought, the jade pendant originally belonged to Ye Chuxue, so just give it to her. It wouldn't be a big loss, so she felt better.

Ye Xinrou nodded and said softly, "Thank you, sister, for forgiving my ignorance."

"No, it's not over yet."

After saying this, Ye Chuxue looked at the emperor wiping away the non-existent tears from his eyes, and said aggrievedly, "Father, the Prime Minister and Sister Xinrou have already made amends to me, but the crimes I've endured in the past few years are real. I believe that even if I can escape the death penalty, I can't escape the punishment of life. However, I feel sorry for my sister because she's a girl, so I'll give her fifty lashes. Is that okay with you?"

Ye Lingnan was shocked and thought to himself: Even an adult man may not be able to withstand fifty lashes of the cane. Rou'er is a weak woman, so this will cost her life.

He knelt hurriedly on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. Fifty lashes of the cane will literally kill my daughter."

"Xue'er, I will give you double the dowry as compensation, but I beg you not to give me fifty lashes."

Ye Chuxue lowered her head in thought and sighed, "Forget it. For this double dowry, Father, you will give me twenty lashes of the cane."

Ye Xinrou thought that if Ye Chuxue accepted the double dowry, she would not have to suffer punishment anymore, but who knew that she would be beaten with twenty boards.

Ye Xinrou looked at Ye Chuxue angrily: "Ye Chuxue, did you do this on purpose? I've already done everything you asked for, what else do you want?"

Before Ye Chuxue could say anything, Ye Lingnan slapped Ye Xinrou in the face and glared at her: "You rebellious girl, shut up! If it weren't for your sister showing mercy, you would have gone to hell by now. Why don't you apologize to your sister and thank her."

Ye Xinrou felt extremely aggrieved at this moment. Ye Lingnan had never hit her in her life, but today he hit her in front of the bitch Ye Chuxue. How could she hold her head up in front of Ye Chuxue in the future?

But she had no choice but to say reluctantly: "Sister, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I hope you can forgive me. I accept the twenty lashes."

Ye Chuxue smiled playfully: "Good boy, now you're obedient."

Then Ye Xinrou was taken out for execution. Ye Lingnan followed her out because he was worried that her body could not bear it.

At this moment, the imperial study suddenly became quiet.

Yun Muheng coughed lightly, an unnatural blush appearing on his face. He walked over to Ye Chuxue and said, "Well, it's because I didn't judge people well. I've wronged you three over the years."

Concubine Lan smiled and said, "Alright, if there's any misunderstanding within the family, it's all right to talk it out. Xue'er, when will you bring my grandson and granddaughter to show me?"

Ye Chuxue frowned and looked at Concubine Lan apologetically: "Mother, if you want to see the children, I can bring them to you anytime."

After saying this, Ye Chuxue looked towards the emperor and knelt on the ground: "Father, I wonder if the previous reward still counts?"

The emperor nodded slightly. "Of course it counts. Have you decided on a reward?"

Ye Chuxue said seriously, "What I want has not changed from the beginning to the end. Please, Father, issue an order for Prince Yunxin and I to divorce."

The emperor was surprised: "Why do you want to divorce? Haven't the misunderstandings been resolved?"

"Father, the divorce has nothing to do with misunderstanding. Prince Yunxin and I are divorcing simply because our personalities and temperaments are not compatible. If we continue like this, it will only delay each other." Ye Chuxue explained.

Seeing that Ye Chuxue still insisted on divorce, Yun Muheng's anger intensified: "Did you make Wang Gang believe in your innocence just for Ouyang Zhi, but forgot that you have another one in the other courtyard?"

Seeing that Yun Muheng was being unreasonable, Ye Chuxue raised her eyelids, glanced at him lightly, and said in a cold voice, "Whatever the prince says is what it is. Please give the order, father."

Lan Fei was so angry that she kicked Yun Muheng: "Hurry up and apologize to Xue'er. If you don't change your bad temper, your wife will really run away. Don't cry!"

Yun Muheng said unconvincedly, "Why, mother? This time it was Ouyang Zhi who confessed his love to Ye Chuxue himself, and many people in the mansion heard it."

Lan Fei looked at him as if he were a fool: "What does that prove? It only proves that your wife is popular. If you don't want her, there are plenty of people waiting to take her! You'll regret it then!"
