My Princess Holds Superpowers

Chapter 740: 740 bad hunch



Despite numerous mentions, Ye Jiu remained unmoved, "To me, the capital city is like a distant dream. It is prosperous, but also unfamiliar. This place, however, is where I've been most acquainted with from childhood to adulthood. Only here can I fearlessly do whatever I want."

"Even in the capital city, I can still allow you to do as you please," Prince Jing assured.

But for Ye Jiu, all these assurances were but empty words.

Initially, she had thought of going to the capital city to seek revenge, yet now that the deed was done before she could lift a finger, what meaning did the capital city hold for her?

Although Ye Jiu did not agree to Prince Jing's request to go to the capital city, their conversation was, nonetheless, fairly harmonious.

As she was about to leave, Ye Jiu addressed Prince Jing in person for the first time, "Father, don't send so many things here in the future. I lack nothing."

Prince Jing replied with only one sentence, "Whether you lack or not is your business, but my willingness to give is my affair."

Ye Jiu was left speechless.

She also knew that she couldn't stop Prince Jing from continuing to send things this way.

"Tomorrow morning, at the town's posthouse, come to see me off," Prince Jing did not give Ye Jiu a chance to argue, and after saying these words, he turned and left.

"Okay," she replied as he was about to walk away.

If he could come all the way from the capital city just to see her, what reason did she have not to see him off?

Ye Jiu thought that after leaving her courtyard, Prince Jing would leave immediately, as he did during his few previous visits.

However, what she did not expect was that, this time, Prince Jing did not leave immediately but instead visited Old Man Ye and Madam He.

Prince Jing was ushered to the seat of honor, and in his presence, Old Man Ye and Madam He did not dare to act carelessly and were extremely respectful instead.

Looking at this old couple, it was clear that Prince Jing felt some envy in his heart for them.

He had long investigated the Ye Family, and this Old Man Ye was a weak and incompetent man, dominated by his own mother in his youth and even tricked in his marriage matters.

Yet, the most definitive thing he ever did in his life was marrying Madam He, a strong-willed woman.

Especially after Old Madam Ye passed away, Madam He had taken control of the Ye Family. Although their life wasn't exactly prosperous, her skillful management had significantly improved their living standards compared to before.

Particularly fortunate was that they managed to raise his daughter; without her, considering those sons, the Ye Family might not have gotten back on their feet even in a few generations.

Putting aside those messy thoughts in his mind, Prince Jing spoke directly, "You are considered Jiujiu's parents, so in the future there's no need to be so formal with me. Please sit, I have come here to discuss some matters with you."

Old Man Ye and Madam He exchanged a glance, both sensing an ominous premonition.

What does 'you are considered Jiujiu's parents' mean?

Could it be that Prince Jing was aware of their daughter's origins and intended to take her away?

Madam He immediately grew anxious. Ignoring the traditional norms of male superiority, she spoke before Old Man Ye could, "May I ask what matter Prince Jing wishes to discuss with us?"

She hoped it wasn't about their child and that Prince Jing was still unaware of Xiaojiu's true identity. Madam He hoped desperately in her heart.
