After the mind-reading and gossip-eating incident, officials in the imperial city were demoted one a

Why do these important figures speak so euphemistically?

[Host, isn't this great! You haven't even asked for an alliance yet, and they've already presented you with evidence of your scumbag father's crimes, saving you a lot of trouble.]

[Oh dear! This makes me feel really bad. System, when will you be able to find information about Prince Jing? Let's try to help him avoid misfortune and bring him good luck.]

[Host, I'm sorry, we still can't find it. We'll let you know when we do.]

When the Prince of Jing first heard the conversation about one person unifying the world, he marveled at the wonders of the world. Later, listening to the two of them banter was also quite interesting.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I should go back now. When Your Highness is free next time, I will treat you to a meal."

"Good!" King Jing nodded.

"Goodbye!" Ye Yaoyao took a few steps, then turned back and asked softly:

"Your Highness, could you please call Granny Li back? I'm quite busy and don't have time to learn the rules."

"No."

"Okay!" Ye Yaoyao was dejected and somewhat disappointed, and then complained to the system again.

Prince Jing smiled as he watched her departing figure.

Upon returning home, Steward Li informed her, "Fourth Miss, Lord Cheng'en has just come to visit."

"Is someone looking for me?" Is he here to cause her trouble, or to express his gratitude?

Steward Li shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't heard of it. The master is receiving guests."

"understood."

Ye Yaoyao walked quickly to the main hall, stood at the door and cautiously peeked inside to watch the two people chatting.

"Lord Chen, my daughter is talking nonsense, please don't believe her."

Ye Mian went to the Lu family to apologize, and had just returned from outside when he was told that the Duke of Cheng'en had come to visit. He cursed Ye Yaoyao in his heart.

"I won't take your drunken ramblings seriously," Lord Chen said with a forced smile.

[It seems Chen Ranran's scumbag father has no suspicions. It looks like Madam Chen is quite shrewd; she's got him completely under her thumb.]

[Host, Chen's scumbag father went back and questioned her. Madam Chen cried, made a scene, threatened suicide, and even performed a blood test to prove paternity.]

[Wouldn't they investigate secretly? And yet they question him. Blood tests for kinship aren't allowed, so Chen's scumbag father is afraid to see a doctor. I think it's his damn pride that's causing the problem.]

【that is! 】

"Lord Ye, I've come here to ask if my daughter, Ranran, has visited your residence?"

“Miss Chen, I have never seen you before, Lord Chen, this is…”

Ye Mian has been staying in his own courtyard lately and hasn't seen any strangers.

I thought they came to confront me, but it turns out they came looking for someone.

Chen Yuanzhao sighed helplessly:

“Alas! My daughter is willful. She quarreled with her mother and ran away from home. My daughter had met your daughter once before, so I came to ask her about it.”

[Chen's father, believing Madam Chen's words, thought Miss Chen might have been taken to the Ye family, so he came to scout the situation.]

[As expected, a stepmother leads to a stepfather. Since he's going to raise an illegitimate child, let's give him a hand.]

"I didn't know that my daughter and your daughter knew each other. Why don't we ask them to come over and ask them?"

"What do you want to ask?" Ye Yaoyao walked in.

When Chen Yuanzhao saw that it was Ye Yaoyao, he remembered what she had said, which made him feel uneasy.

"You've come at the right time. Have you met Miss Chen before?"

Ye Mian looked at her and asked.

"I've seen it before!"

"Where is she?" Chen Yuanzhao asked anxiously.

"Isn't she at home?" Ye Yaoyao blinked and asked him, puzzled.

[You're acting so concerned and anxious; anyone who didn't know better would think you dote on Chen Ranran!]

"Didn't you just say you'd seen Miss Chen?" Ye Mian glared at her; this wretched girl was doing it on purpose.

“Yes, Father.” Ye Yaoyao nodded vigorously.

"I met Miss Chen once at Taiyou Temple. You don't know, Miss Chen is very thin and was mistreated terribly by her stepmother."

She was standing on the edge of a cliff, ready to jump! Luckily, a large group of us rescued her. Lord Chen, is Miss Chen not at home?

"He's not here; he ran away from home."

Hearing Ye Yaoyao's words, he felt even more agitated. It seemed that Chen Ranran was not at the Ye family's house.

Chen Yuanzhao still doesn't know how Chen Ranran left, and he has no clue about it to this day.

Ye Yaoyao suddenly screamed:

"Oh no! Could she have run off to commit suicide again? Lord Chen, should we report this to the authorities and have the officers search for her in the water?"

"You scoundrel, what nonsense are you spouting?" Ye Mian shouted sternly.

"Where did I say something wrong? Chen Ranran has never been cared for since she was a child, so it's normal that she has no will to live!"

Chen Yuanzhao's face darkened upon hearing this. If Chen Ranran were dead, wouldn't the marriage alliance with the Guo family be hopeless?

[Host, Chen's scumbag father still wants Miss Chen to marry into the Guo family.]

[A scumbag deserves to die alone.]

"Little sister, you're here!" Ye Jingyang said with a smile as he strode into the hall.

"Second brother, is there something you need?"

"I just came back. On the way, I encountered a treasure bestowed by the palace. I'll be there soon."

They were making a lot of noise along the way, you couldn't help but know it.

"Jingyang, are you saying the imperial gift is on its way?" Ye Mian looked at Ye Yaoyao, so he was telling the truth while drunk.

"Yes, Father, we will receive the imperial decree to express our gratitude in a moment."

"Did all those things I said while I was drunk come true? Did the Emperor bestow rewards upon me?"

"That's right, little sister. You helped the court arrest several corrupt officials. It has been confirmed that what you said last night was not just about corrupt officials. Everything you said is definitely true."

"Ah! I'm that amazing!" Ye Yaoyao feigned surprise.

"Yes! Yes! Is Lord Chen here to thank my little sister as well?"

Ye Jingyang seemed oblivious to Chen Yuanzhao's sour face, still smiling broadly as he asked the question knowing the answer.

"Thank me?" Ye Yaoyao feigned a puzzled look.

"Hmm! Lord Chen has been cuckolded by Madam Chen and has even given birth to an illegitimate child. I suppose Lord Chen should investigate and find out the truth."

Last night, besides exposing a few treacherous officials, you also cuckolded several others.

"It's okay, wearing an extra green hat will at least keep me warm!" Ye Yaoyao replied with a grin.

"So, Lord Chen is looking for Miss Chen because she is his only bloodline."

Chen Yuanzhao's face turned ugly, and he retorted loudly: "Miss Ye, don't talk nonsense. My wife has not done anything out of line, and the eldest son of the Chen family is not a bastard."

He has a son, so Ye Yaoyao can't possibly be right about everything he says.

"Lord Chen, are you sure? Are you going to do a blood test for kinship? Blood tests for kinship are unreliable; they can be faked," Ye Yaoyao kindly reminded him.

"No need for Miss Ye to trouble herself." Chen Yuanzhao was so angry that his face turned ashen, and he gritted his teeth.

Hearing the brother and sister singing in unison, he said angrily:

"Lord Ye is truly well-mannered. Farewell!"

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and left.

"Guests are guests, yet you two are so rude. Is this how your mother always taught you?"

Ye Mian glared at the two siblings.

“Father, Mother taught us to distinguish right from wrong, and we know it very well.”

Ye Yaoyao responded, and Ye Jingyang, seeing Ye Mian's unpleasant expression, said:

"Father, the palace has bestowed its rewards. Let's hurry out and not keep the imperial messenger waiting."
