Chapter 412 - 411 Provocation
Maternal Aunt Liu had a very bad hunch and tentatively asked, "Crown Prince, do you think it’s possible that, because the eldest daughter is now bold and capable, the Duke has allowed her to return and has even started to take a liking to the people she brought back?"
Ye Hongyang furrowed his brow upon hearing this. What Maternal Aunt Liu said was indeed a possibility. He reflected for a moment on his father’s attitude toward that scourge. Although his father hadn’t shown her any kindness, there were also no words of reprimand. Even when it was time to leave, the Duke had easily agreed to that scourge’s plea for mercy on behalf of Granny Jin.
Seeing Ye Hongyang’s furrowed brow, Maternal Aunt Liu thought she had probably guessed correctly.
She hurriedly asked again, "Is the Duke planning on recognizing the eldest daughter officially?"
Ye Hongyang helplessly nodded, his expression full of gloom, "Observing today, father seemed to really mean it. That scourge entered, and father said nothing, just let her kneel, which is clearly the treatment for a family member."
Maternal Aunt Liu looked worried, "Given the eldest daughter’s reputation, the more able and prominent she is, the more she becomes the laughingstock. Ah—, I’m afraid our mansion may have quite a spectacle to witness in the future."
Ye Hongyang pinched the bridge of his nose, full of annoyance, "The old man is already bewitched and has made up his mind, what can we do?"
Maternal Aunt Liu let out a deep sigh as she massaged Yi Hongyang’s shoulders, "The eldest daughter is one thing; even if our mansion becomes a laughingstock, the eldest daughter is still your blood, we could accept that. What concerns me are those two children with different surnames. Princely Heir, why do you think the eldest daughter brought these two children back?"
