Chapter 460 - 458: Serious Matters
To Yin Xiaocheng’s surprise, his niece had not a single word of defense against his reprimand; as soon as he finished speaking, she straightforwardly admitted her mistake. Both her facial expressions and her choice of words were exceedingly sincere.
With heartfelt remorse, his niece admitted she had been too naive and the fault was entirely hers. She resolved to strictly discipline herself in the future, and to redouble her efforts in supervising Qi Jiaer and Qi Sanshun, vowing not to repeat such a mistake.
After Ye Xinyan’s self-examination, she turned her gaze to Qi Sanshun and Qi Jiaer.
Upon receiving Ye Xinyan’s cue, Qi Sanshun and Qi Jiaer instantly initiated the procedure they had used before in Clear Water Village, when facing Qi Younian and Nanny Jin. With clear childish voices, they admitted their wrongdoing and promised to heed Uncle Yin’s guidance and never err again.
Yin Xiaocheng was astounded. The admission of guilt was so prompt, and the attitudes of all three were unusually consistent. It was the first time he had encountered such a situation. Could it be that this detestable girl knew he would scold her today and had rehearsed with the two children in advance?
Yin Xiaocheng watched Ye Xinyan with furrowed brows for a good while but felt helpless. The child had already admitted her mistake, and she did so with a good attitude and earnest words. What else could he do?
Yin Xiaocheng, somewhat irritated, called for Yin Lanxu and had Qi Sanshun and Qi Jiaer taken out to play. Only then did he turn to Ye Xinyan with an unusually stern expression and ask her to sit down for a serious conversation.
"You have seen the world outside and are now the Chief Steward of two major businesses, so I won’t beat around the bush with you. Tell me, what is going on between you and His Highness Prince Yu?"
