My Princess Holds Superpowers

Lying in bed, Ye Jiu curled herself tightly in her blanket, but her mind was in ceaseless turmoil.

What did her mother just say?

Could it be that she already knew about her own origins?

Watching Mrs. He, who still showed her care, Ye Jiu just wanted to hide away and escape from this reality.

But it was not just her who was panicking; Ye Gaosheng was even more bewildered.

After listening to Mrs. He's words, Ye Gaosheng's brain twitched, and he blurted out, "Mom, what did you just say? It sounds as if the Prince is my little sister's real father! Are you confused because something has shocked you? Little sister is clearly your and Dad's biological child, when you gave birth to her, I..."

Ye Gaosheng was about to recount how he had waited outside for most of the night and how he had been freezing all that time when he was interrupted before he could finish, as old man Ye grabbed him.

"Stop talking, will you!" old man Ye whispered sternly.

Now that everything was out in the open, it seemed to bring even more joy to the Prince.

However, seeing Ye Jiu curl up like a tortoise, tightly withdrawing into herself, he felt irritated.

Turning his head, the Prince looked at old man Ye and his wife and said, "Now that everything has been laid out, it's good. I've also given you time to accept it.

You've not had an easy time raising Jiujiu all these years, and I won't force her to sever ties with you. In fact, I will satisfy all your desires for honors, riches, and splendor.

However, the sole Commandery Princess of the Royal Residence cannot possibly stay in this tiny Shuangxi Town forever. I am definitely going to take her with me. If not now, then in the future.

If you truly love her, you'll think of what's best for her. Once she's back in the capital city, she'll be a Commandery Princess envied by everyone, treasured and pampered, riches and honor within easy reach.

But life here will mean she can only think of how to make money every day, how to provide for the family.

And your family, far from helping her, will only become a burden to her..."

"Enough, stop talking!" Ye Jiu threw off the blanket and got out of bed, seeing Mrs. He's faltering steps and instinctively wanting to go over and help her.

However, for the first time, Mrs. He pushed away the hand that Ye Jiu offered her.

Looking at Ye Jiu's incredulous eyes, Mrs. He felt as if her heart was being sliced by a knife.

But she could not afford to be soft-hearted, "The Prince is right; you're not our child. Go with your father to the capital city. Don't come back here afterward."

"Mother..." Ye Jiu had thought more than once about the day her origins would be revealed. Although she had imagined many times the scene where Mrs. He would abandon her, when it came to this moment, she still found it unbelievable.

"All these years of love and care, can it really be let go of so easily just because there's no blood relation?" Ye Jiu tilted her head back slightly, frightened that the tears filling her eyes might uncontrollably spill out.

Mrs. He dared not look at Ye Jiu, "Why speak of these things, you've always been clever, don't you understand me?

I, Mrs. He, am just a callous old hag. All these years, I've shown no love even to my own son, let alone to a bunch of grandsons and granddaughters who mean nothing to me in my eyes, much less to a foster daughter with no blood ties!"

Turning her head, Mrs. He dared not let Ye Jiu see the tears she had already shed, "I've raised you all these years, you've built me a large house, bought servants for our home, and acquired property. Now, as an old lady, I've got money and people to look after me, you've repaid my kindness in raising you. You can go now, and there's no need to come back."
