Ye Yaner's actions in protecting her mother won her a lot of favor.
"Concubine Ye is really filial."
"Concubine Ye has always been kind-hearted, but it's a pity for her face."
"Miss Chu, please give my mother an explanation!"
Ye Yan'er refused to give in, her eyes were full of pride. On the one hand, she was betting that King Xiao would not help Chu Yunning.
"Prince Xiao..." Mrs. Chu couldn't stand it anymore and looked directly at Prince Xiao.
"Ning'er really didn't embarrass Madam Ye. It was Madam Ye who snatched the hairpin I was interested in. It was Madam Ye who shouted out the 10,000 taels of silver. It has nothing to do with Ning'er."
Prince Xiao pursed his lips tightly: "I have not seen the cause and effect, so I cannot rely on your own words to judge right from wrong."
"You!" Mrs. Chu choked, her face turned pale with anger.
Seeing that Prince Xiao was so disrespectful, the mother and daughter of the Ye family were even more proud. Mrs. Ye wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief: "Forget it Yan'er, I'm really fine, it's just these ten thousand taels of silver...
..”
"Mom, a mere ten thousand taels of silver is nothing to the palace, so don't take it to heart."
Ye Yan'er comforted her while looking at Mrs. Chu: "Mrs. Chu, why don't you apologize to my mother soon!"
Mrs. Chu clenched her fists tightly. She had done nothing wrong, so why should she apologize?
Especially for a concubine, it matters
Ning'er's face cannot be lowered.
"What if we don't apologize? What should you do?"
Chu Yunning was extremely angry but laughed instead.
Ye Yaner blocked the door: "If you don't want to apologize, don't even think about walking out of this door today!"
"Bixiu, go report to the official!"
Bixiu ran away unprepared, and Ye Yaner's face changed slightly when she saw this.
"Let everyone see how shameless the Ye family is. They repeatedly robbed jewelry and drove up prices but refused to pay. Now I know that Concubine Ye's ability to cry is a family tradition."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Ye stopped crying.
"Miss Chu, how could you slander me like this?"
Ye Yan'er also said angrily: "Chu Yunning, you are going too far!"
"Is it because I bully people too much or you are too thick-skinned? I have many witnesses who have testified against me. It's not just that you can confuse right and wrong by crying and wiping a few tears and pretending to be wronged."
Chu Yunning's voice was loud and attracted many ladies to echo: "Miss Chu is right. It is obviously Mrs. Ye who is unreasonable and kills people with soft knives. How can the Ye family have such an unworthy mistress?"
When Mrs. Ye heard this, her face turned green and white, and she was extremely embarrassed.
Chu Yunning laughed at the mother and daughter of the Ye family for their own humiliation.
Ye Yaner stamped her feet and looked at Prince Xiao with aggrieved eyes, hoping that Prince Xiao could help her.
"It's just a piece of jewelry, why bother being so serious about it? Let's just throw it all away." Prince Xiao advised calmly.
Chu Yunning rolled her eyes. She hated Wang Xiao and Xini's attitude very much.
"That's all, for the sake of the prince, I'll spare you today!"
Ye Yan'er stopped as soon as she saw the situation, and pulled Mrs. Ye to leave.
"Want to leave?" Chu Yunning grabbed Ye Yan'er's wrist, raised her eyebrows and smiled: "I want to run away after insulting my mother. How can there be such a good thing in the world? You must give an explanation to my mother today!
"
"Chu Yunning, you're crazy!" Ye Yan'er felt pain and tried to pull her arm back, but was pulled tightly.
So he immediately asked King Xiao for help: "Your Majesty, save me!"
"Chu Yunning, what are you going to do!" Prince Xiao scolded in a low voice in displeasure: "Why don't you let go quickly?"
Even Mrs. Chu tugged on Chu Yunning's sleeves and signaled her to forget it.
Now that there are more and more people surrounding the shop, she is worried that it will have a bad impact on Chu Yunning.
"You can leave if you want, and apologize to my mother.
Otherwise, let’s meet at Jingzhao Yin Mansion!”
"You have to make a big deal out of a trivial matter and make people laugh at her?" Prince Xiao couldn't understand why she didn't know how to be submissive at all and was so tit-for-tat that people couldn't pity her.
The strength in Chu Yunning's hand gradually tightened, and Ye Yan'er screamed out in surprise, crying in pain.
"I'll say it again, make amends to my mother!"
"Your Majesty!" Ye Yaner cried.
"Apologize!"
Ye Yaner felt as if her wrists were about to be crushed, and she was half squatting.
"Chu Yunning, I order you to let go!" Prince Xiao said.
"The prince doesn't know the cause and effect, so how can he know right from wrong? What's wrong with me seeking justice for my mother? The Chu family has served the country for generations. My mother is a meritorious lady, but she is bullied for no reason. How can the Chu family not feel cold?"
"
Chu Yunning continued: "If Jing Zhaoyin can't give an explanation today, then I will go to the palace to file a complaint. There will always be a place to seek justice."
Compared to the Ye family who had just been demoted and deprived of divine favor, she was not afraid of trouble at all.
"Stubborn!" Prince Xiao snorted angrily,
There is no further text.
Ye Yaner was furious: "You are relying on the Chu family to bully the Ye family, which is powerless and despicable!"
Just then Jing Zhaoyin arrived. Jing Zhaoyin stepped forward bravely: "Your Majesty, Princess."
"I can't afford to be called Princess. You should call me Miss Gouchu."
Chu Yunning didn't feel ashamed at all. She gave up her identity as Princess Xiao and lived a good life.
"I wonder why Miss Chu reported to the official?"
Bixiu immediately explained the cause and effect loudly.
Jing Zhaoyin frowned, this was all a trivial matter, but to make such a big fuss, it would be hard to offend both parties.
"Chu Yunning, when will you stop making trouble?" Ye Yan'er gritted her teeth. She didn't expect that the matter would become a big deal. The Ye family had just been demoted and it was a time to keep a low profile.
She originally just wanted to scare Chu Yunning and gain prestige, but she didn't want to shoot herself in the foot.
"Sir, Mrs. Ye is the first to drive up the price, and the second is to bully the meritorious lady. Isn't it too much to ask for an explanation?"
Chu Yunning pointed at Mrs. Ye who was hiding in the corner with a guilty look on her face.
Mrs. Ye's intestines are filled with regret now. She can't imagine if this matter is reported back to the Ye family, and the old lady of the Ye family will be furious.
Jing Zhaoyin looked at Prince Xiao cautiously and hesitated for a long time.
"Sir?" Chu Yunning called again.
Jing Zhaoyin said helplessly: "Mrs. Chu calms down her anger, and peace brings wealth. Of course Mrs. Ye is wrong. Don't worry about it if you have a lot."
Mrs. Ye is unwilling to give in, but due to the current situation, if the stalemate continues, it is very likely that she will really make trouble in front of the imperial court.
Then Mrs. Ye still had to peel off her skin.
"Sir, my mother is right, it is the Chu family who is aggressive again and again." Ye Yaner refused to admit her mistake.
She must never apologize to Chu Yunning in front of everyone.
"Look at how many pieces of jewelry Mrs. Ye has in her hand, including ruby hairpins, jade bracelets, and agate earrings. My mother was the first to like them all, and she gave them to her because of her virtuous and generous nature. The same goes for the last set of pearl hairpins.
Mrs. Ye’s price tag is 10,000 taels, and all the witnesses and physical evidence are there, how come she’s being bullied by us?”
Chu Yunning glanced at the shopkeeper: "Is it possible that the shopkeeper is buying and selling by force?"
"Miss Chu is careful to say that it is indeed Mrs. Chu who gave way to Mrs. Ye."
With the shopkeeper as a witness and Mrs. Ye holding a large box and a small box in her hand, everyone could quickly tell what was right and what was wrong.
When Mrs. Ye saw that things were getting worse and worse, she rolled her eyes in panic and fainted.
"Mother!" Ye Yan'er shouted.
Chu Yun Ning's condescension and sneer are all old tricks.
"Chu Yunning, you made my mother faint from fright, are you satisfied?"
Ye Yaner is good at messing around.
"Bixiu, go to Ye's house and say that Mrs. Ye is being bullied outside. Please ask Mrs. Ye to come over and make the decision."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Ye didn't dare to faint and immediately woke up with an ouch.
Bixiu suppressed her laughter.
"Is this okay, Mrs. Ye?" Chu Yunning covered her mouth and smiled.
Mrs. Ye's face was hot and she said to Ye Yan'er: "I like these jewelry so much. I didn't expect Mrs. Chu to like them too. I have always had the habit of crying when I heard the news, so I caused everyone to misunderstand. Mrs. Chu did not bully me.
"
Mrs. Ye took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said, "It's just a misunderstanding. Please forgive me, Mrs. Chu."
Mrs. Chu waved her hand magnanimously: "Mrs. Ye must make it clear in time next time so as not to cause the same trouble again."
Mrs. Ye was taught a lesson. She was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. She stood up with the help of the maid's hand. She didn't have the shame to stay any longer and staggered away on the pretext of feeling unwell.
Jing Zhaoyin immediately said a few words to smooth things over.
Mrs. Chu apologized and said, "My lord, your trip was in vain."
"What are you saying, madam? It is the duty of a lower official to relieve the people's worries."
Jing Zhaoyin saluted King Xiao again. After King Xiao nodded, he left.
"Mom, let's go shopping somewhere else."
Chu Yunning regrouped her mood, she really didn't want to see the two of them again.
Ye Yaner stood next to Prince Xiao, feeling aggrieved, like a bullied puppy.
Prince Xiao suppressed his anger and his tone was a little gentler: "Chu Yunning, do you really plan to stay in the Chu family for the rest of your life?"
Chu Yunning asked back: "What can the prince give me? Princess Xiao has been bullied for her title. How has the prince ever made the decision for me? There is no difference between him and me."
