After hearing this, Yun Muheng felt as if he had suddenly fallen into a bone-chilling ice cellar. A chilling aura emanated from his entire body, and even the attendants standing beside him could clearly feel the temperature around them suddenly drop by several degrees.

His face was gloomy, and he ordered coldly, "Chen Yu, slap him! How dare a mere maid talk about your master's affairs? You are so audacious! You deserve a good lesson!"

Just at this moment, Ye Xinrou inadvertently caught a glimpse of the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion being carefully supported by two maids, slowly walking towards the ancestral hall.

A hint of imperceptible viciousness suddenly flashed across Ye Xinrou's beautiful eyes, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Then, without hesitation, she stood in front of Xiao Tao, a pitiful look instantly appearing on her face. She begged bitterly, "Brother Heng, please have mercy on me and don't punish Xiao Tao! Xiao Tao is my devoted maid who has always been by my side and has been loyal to me all these years! The reason she spoke so carelessly this time was because she was too worried about me, so she offended you in the heat of the moment. Please, for my sake, forgive her this time."

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Xinrou took two cautious steps forward, as if she wanted to reach out and grab Yun Muheng's sleeve.

However, perhaps because she was too nervous and flustered, or perhaps she accidentally stepped on something, Ye Xinrou screamed "Ouch!" and suddenly lost her balance. Her body involuntarily tilted forward, and Ye Xinrou fell into Yun Muheng's arms.

Yun Muheng was suddenly at a loss as to what to do. He subconsciously tried to push the person in his arms away. However, he never expected that Ye Xinrou would cling to him like an octopus, refusing to let go.

At the same time, she continued to sob and choked, saying, "Brother Heng, I have always loved you sincerely! Even if I can only be your concubine, I am willing and have no regrets. I really don't want to marry Prince Yunqing at all. Please fulfill my infatuation."

Just as Yun Muheng frowned, pondering how to reject Ye Xinrou's affection, he suddenly heard an angry shout from behind them: "You two shameless guys, how dare you tug at each other in broad daylight! Don't you think our Prime Minister's Mansion has been embarrassed enough?"

It turned out that the old lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to the ancestral hall after breakfast and happened to see this disgusting scene. She was so angry that she was shaking all over and her face turned ashen.

Yun Muheng was about to open his mouth when Ye Xinrou ran to the old lady's feet and said tearfully, "Grandma, this is my fault. It has nothing to do with Brother Heng. It's Rou'er who has always been in love with Brother Heng. Since you have seen me, please grant me your blessing and let me marry Brother Heng. I will be your slave and concubine without any complaints."

Yun Muheng suddenly woke up, realizing that he had been tricked by Ye Xinrou. This meeting today was a carefully orchestrated scheme! She was clearly trying to leverage the old lady's prestige and past favors to force the prince to swallow this loss. Humph, what a foolish dream!

Yun Muheng's face was as cold as ice, and his eyes revealed a hint of chill. He said coldly, "Second Miss Ye, please be careful with your words and actions! This prince has never thought of marrying you. It was clearly you who lost your balance just now and fell directly into this prince's arms.

Besides, everyone knows what happened to you at the Princess's residence. Your engagement with my Third Brother is set in stone and cannot be changed. And yet you say this today. Where do you put my Third Brother? And where do you put the reputation of the imperial family? Don't forget, I saw everything you did at the Princess's residence clearly and distinctly!"

Yun Muheng practically gritted his teeth as he spoke the last part, the threat evident in his words. He stared at Ye Xinrou intently, as if he wanted to devour her alive. If she dared to utter another word of nonsense, he would reveal the truth to the world without hesitation. By then, not only would Prince Yunqing be ruined, but even her own reputation would be completely destroyed!

Meanwhile, the old lady was already furious, her entire body trembling. Unable to contain her rage any longer, she raised her hand and, with a loud "slap," slapped Ye Xinrou's delicate face. With the crisp sound of the slap, a bright red palm print instantly appeared on Ye Xinrou's cheek.

The old lady's eyes widened in anger as she glared at Ye Xinrou fiercely, cursing, "You shameless, tart who has ruined our family's traditions! Since you've already given your pure body to Prince Yunqing, you should have married him honestly and dutifully! You even dared to dream of currying favor with Prince Yunxin? You're simply dreaming!"

After receiving this heavy slap, Ye Xinrou staggered back a few steps, but she quickly regained her footing and slowly stood up with an unconvinced look on her face.

At this moment, her beautiful eyes were filled with resentment and malice. She stared at the old lady in front of her and roared at the top of her voice, "Why? Why can Ye Chuxue, a good-for-nothing and worthless loser, become a princess, but I can't? Now that I no longer aspire to become a princess, is it possible that even a small wish like marrying the one I love can't be fulfilled?

Is it because I'm just a lowly concubine? But this isn't my decision! I've asked you many times to make my mother a co-wife, but you simply refuse to agree!

In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you insist on forcing me into a desperate situation, the worst that can happen is that we will all be destroyed and no one will have a good life! Humph, do you really think that everyone in this mansion is innocent? "After saying this, Ye Xinrou looked directly at the old lady without flinching. Her provocative look made people feel cold.

The old lady listened to Ye Xinrou's rebellious words and covered her chest with anger. She pointed at Ye Xinrou with trembling fingers: "You... you are really rebellious! Come here!"

Before the old lady could finish her words, she became so angry that she vomited blood and fainted.

After hearing the whole story, Ye Chuxue was completely speechless. She really didn't know what Ye Xinrou was thinking.

She stood up and clapped her hands: "Forget it, then I'll go and take a look as the genius doctor Shi. After all, she is still my grandmother. One can't be so cold-blooded and heartless." After saying that, she pulled a sly smile at the corner of her mouth.
