115 Flattering (1/2)

It was the beginning of autumn, but the weather was still hot. The afterheat this year was extra strong.

The night sky was dark, the air pressure was low, and it seemed that there was a storm coming.

Ye Jiayao was worried. She didn't know what she'd do if it rained since both of them didn't have an umbrella.

Helian Jing, on the other hand, was relaxed. As long as he was with Yaoyao, he wouldn't care even if it hailed.

”Yaoyao, I am telling you, that Wei Liujiang is disgusting. He even has the nerve to say that we intentionally framed him!”

Ye Jiayao nodded sympathetically. Well, to be honest, they really did frame him. Chunyu planned this thing out so perfectly that Wei Liujiang wasn't able to defend himself. However, to actually come outright and say that the Helian Royal Mansion framed him was equivalent to asking for a death sentence. Helian Mansion had nothing against him, who would believe him of that accusation?

”You really cannot find the servant? What will you do now?” Ye Jiayao asked curiously.

Helian Jing sneered, ”My mother said that Wei Liujiang and his wife are dogs. It's possible that they had worked together to set First Lady Ye up. Now, they even dare deny it and accuse the Helian Mansion? Mother will not let this go that easily. My brother has already sent people to Yang Zhou to investigate.”

Ye Jiayao hid her astonishment. Was it really possible? She had thought that Wei Liujiang was a kind man because the servants of the Wei Mansion adored him. She was not so sure now. And if she actually thought about it, it was indeed strange that he did not care when his real wife was taken away by the bandits. Instead, he immediately moved on to Jinrong. If that didn't scream cold-blooded man, she didn't know what will.

Ye Jiayao mused, ”Since Second Lady Ye substituted for the First Lady Ye, then the Ye and Wei families must've covered up for it, too. It would be hard to find anything that can incriminate them.”

Helian Jing smiled coldly. ”The truth will always prevail. It was a guarantee that they missed something and that's where we'll start. During the dinner, Wei Liujiang's wife said that the Second Lady Ye is sick and was sent to her grandmother's house to rest. We'll check up on the grandmother's house and see if Second Lady Ye is really there.”

The Ye family would not be able to go against the Helian Mansion, especially with how determined and ruthless this royal family was. That thought actually settled Ye Jiayao.

It seemed that those two dogs would encounter bad fortune soon.

”Arrgh! Mu Qinchu and Wei Liujiang are such douchebags! I will beat them to a pulp if I see them again,” Helian Jing exclaimed angrily.

”Why are you so indignant?” Ye Jiayao felt bad. Chunyu used the Helian family to exact their revenge and now they were caught in the middle of it.

Helian Jing replied, ”They made my mother mad and they did horrific, shameless things inside our home. For that, I will make them suffer.”

”So if I make your family mad one day, you'll make me suffer, too?” Ye Jiayao was upset. If Little Jing finds out the truth one day, would he be angry at her? Would he blame her?

Helian Jing turned to her with a slight smile. ”You? How could you ever do that? My grandmother adores you. When I greeted Old Ancestress this morning, she gushed about you!”

Helian Jing cleared his throat and squinted his eyes, thinning his lips a bit. He said, mimicking his grandmother's voice, ”Little Jing, Li Yao was not born in a rich family, but he has a good personality. He is much better than your other rich and spoiled friends.”

Ye Jiayao laughed, kicking him playfully. ”Stop that! That's creepy!”

Helian Jing dramatically said, ”I was praising you! Why are you kicking me? Gosh!”

The two of them talked and laughed until they finally arrived at the Prince's mansion.

Helian Jing reported their presence and after a short wait, someone came to take them inside.

The Prince was still discussing business with some people in the study when they arrived so they were asked to wait at the side hall.

They waited for a while before they were permitted to enter the study.

The Prince didn't look well and kept pressing his temples.

”Peace with Your Highness …”

”Peace with your Prince Highness…”

Helian Jing made a hand gesture while Ye Jiayao had to kneel down.

The prince didn't recognize Ye Jiayao at the time so he simply smiled at Helian Jing. ”Young Royal Highness, to what do I owe this visit?”

Helian Jing laughed. ”Crown Prince, I accompanied Li Yao here because he wanted to bring you a few new ice cream mooncakes to taste.”

Li Yao? The prince frowned slightly before suddenly exclaiming, ”You're Li Yao from Heavenly Residence?”

Ye Jiayao worked hard to keep the disappointment off her face. The Crown Prince has already forgotten her?

”Yes, Your Highness. Last time, you asked me to bring anything tasty to you so I brought this special mooncake that I made for Your Highness to taste,” Ye Jiayao said respectfully.

”Your Highness, this mooncake is really delicious. It was served at my grandmother's dinner last night and everyone was so impressed!” Helian Jing gushed.

The Prince smiled. ”Yes, my lady talked about that new ice cream mooncake. She wanted to get a few to try at dinner.”

Ye Jiayao brought up the ice box. ”If Your Highness and Lady like it, just ask someone to deliver a message and I will bring them to you immediately.”

The Prince waved for one of his servants to take it and said happily, ”You really have a good heart.”

Ye Jiayao said, ”It is Your Highness' goodwill that got me to this point. I am very grateful to you and since making good food is all I know, this is the only way I could repay you.”
