Liu Yueru looked at the other party with some confusion, and bowed slightly towards the Prime Minister's wife.

The Prime Minister's wife took the lead in helping Liu Yueru up. "Madam Liu, there is no need to be so polite."

Liu Yueru withdrew her hand from the other person's hand without leaving a trace, looked at the Prime Minister's wife calmly and asked, "I wonder why Madam Ye came to see me?"

Madam Ye glanced at the servant beside her.

The servant brought forward the things that had been prepared in advance.

Madam Ye hurriedly took the tray and explained to Liu Yueru in detail, "These are the things that the prince gave you in the past, as well as the profits over the years, which have all been recorded in the accounts. Madam Liu, please take a look and see if there is anything wrong."

Liu Yueru looked at the various contracts and several account books placed on it, and her eyebrows slightly frowned.

Madam Ye then explained, "We didn't know that it was Wan'er who took away your credit at that time. We have occupied these rewards given by the emperor for many years, and now we return them to you intact."

"What do you mean, ma'am?" Liu Yueru stared at those things and asked back with a bad expression.

"I have no other intentions. I just want to return these things to their original owners. Then, Madam Liu can plead for us in front of the prince."

"Let us retire and return home in peace. I promise you that I will never set foot in Kyoto again." Mrs. Ye said with a haggard face.

Liu Yueru's brows were still furrowed.

Seeing this, Mrs. Ye slowly knelt down towards Liu Yueru.

Liu Yueru quickly raised her hand and pulled the other person up; "What are you doing? Get up quickly, and let's talk it over."

Mrs. Ye's tears immediately flowed out. She held her handkerchief and whispered, "I know what Wan'er did is intolerable, but her father really didn't know anything about it."

"When she took those pills earlier and tried to control others, her father and I also tried to persuade her."

Madam Ye shed tears, her voice a little hoarse; "I admit that I wanted her to marry into the Jin Palace and become the princess, and I also wanted to use some means to bring them together."

"We just want Wan'er to have someone she can rely on in the future."

Madam Ye sighed softly, and when she looked up again, her face was already covered with tears. "It was because we didn't teach her well that she did such a rebellious thing. She deserves what she has today."

“I have no complaints about that.”

"We have returned all our belongings. We only ask the prince and Madam Liu to let us live."

Liu Yueru's eyes suddenly turned fierce, and she looked at her and said, "Mrs. Ye, please be careful with your words."

"How to deal with these matters is something that the emperor has to consider. If you want to ask for mercy, you should go to the palace to ask for mercy."

"If what you just said was heard by someone with ulterior motives and spread to the palace, who knows how our Liu Mansion would be spread."

Mrs. Ye's face changed slightly and she lowered her head guiltily.

He wanted to use this opportunity to spread bad news about the Liu Mansion, but he didn't expect that his thoughts would be directly exposed by Liu Yueru.

"I was anxious just now and said something wrong. I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted Madam Liu to talk to the prince about this matter. We just want to live a peaceful life in the future." Mrs. Ye explained with a smile.

"I'll accept these things. Madam Ye, you should talk to the prince in person if you have anything to say." Liu Yueru turned around with a unhappy look on her face.

Mrs. Ye wanted to say something to Liu Yueru as she left, but Mother Yan took the lead and stopped her.

The voice was cold; "Madam Prime Minister, please go back."

"Yes!" Mrs. Ye looked at Liu Yueru's leaving back, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Madam Yan then said, "Don't make things difficult for our wife. Women in the harem are not allowed to participate in government affairs. I think the Prime Minister's wife is also aware of this. Our wife can't handle this matter. Please go back."

Seeing this scene before her, Prime Minister Ye's wife had no choice but to walk out of Liu Mansion in despair.

......

Xie Jingrui came to the Dongyang Bank wearing the black robe that Liu Yueru had personally sewn for him.

"Dear guest, what would you like to buy?" the shopkeeper stepped forward to greet him.

Xie Jingrui raised his hand and said bluntly, "I'm here to look for your boss Jiang Yishu."

The shopkeeper's eyes swept secretly over Xie Jingrui. He was wearing gorgeous clothes, with dignity between his brows and a kingly aura.

He did not dare to neglect it and asked tentatively, "I wonder what you want to see our boss about?"

The shopkeeper noticed the unhappy look on Xie Jingrui's face and immediately changed his words, "The boss is in the back. I'll go over and inform him. Please wait a moment."

"Yeah." Xie Jingrui responded softly.

Then he turned his gaze to the East Bank.

Look through the little items inside.

Jiang Yishu came in from the backyard and saw Xie Jingrui's figure, with a slightly stunned expression on his face.

But he quickly composed himself and walked towards Xie Jingrui.

"Your Highness." Jiang Yishu bowed to Xie Jingrui.

Xie Jingrui nodded slightly, motioning him to step aside. "Did you help Yue'er with what happened that day?"

Jiang Yishu had no intention of hiding anything and said frankly, "Yes, the Empress in the palace ordered a batch of goods from a Japanese company, and they happened to be delivered that day."

"I saw someone sneaking around the palace gate, so I followed curiously and found out that the person being taken away was Madam Liu, so I helped her."

Xie Jingrui cast a sharp gaze on Jiang Yishu, and after a long while he asked back, "Don't you have ulterior motives?"

Jiang Yishu raised his eyes, showing no fear at all, and retorted to Xie Jingrui, "No, even if it were someone else, I would help them if they encountered such a thing."

Jiang Yishu looked at Xie Jingrui inquiringly, "What do you mean, Your Majesty? If you have anything to ask, just ask directly. There is no need to be so lame."

"I know what you are thinking. There is no need to speak to me in such an innocent tone." Xie Jingrui said with a cold face.

Jiang Yishu clenched his hands, and then said, "I have some thoughts about Liu Yueru. I admire women like her. They are kind-hearted and do what they can for the people and the country. While focusing on their own affairs, they can also take care of everyone."

"But I simply admire Madam Liu. I have never thought of crossing the line, and I will not let Madam Liu be criticized by the world."

Jiang Yishu's face was a little more angry, and he looked at Xie Jingrui and reprimanded him, "I heard that the prince and Madam Liu are old acquaintances. The friendship they have had since childhood is really enviable, but the prince seems to have lost some confidence. I wonder if it's Madam Liu's trust."

"How dare you!" Xie Jingrui scolded in a deep voice.

Jiang Yishu had no intention of being afraid. "If the prince was confident enough, he would not have come here alone to look for me."

"First, don't worry, I won't tell anyone anything about what happened in the palace."

"Second, Madam Liu is about to marry the man she loves. I will not interfere with other people's feelings at this time, and I will not do anything that is beyond my ability."
