C97 (1/2)

Ye Jinsu closed her eyes and said as usual, ”I want to live a peaceful life, but everyone here wants me dead.”

”Heh.” Ye Jinsu let out a short chuckle. ”What's funny is that one of them is my biological father while the other is my mother.”

”Where do I think I can go?” Ye Jinsu turned his head to look at Meng Lan. Where could she find a path of retreat behind her? She had always been walking on the edge of the precipice at the edge of life and death.

”Do you think she will let me off after forcing Madam Xie to this extent, or will my heartless father let me off?” Ye Jinsu asked again.

Meng Lan was actually unable to say a word. She slightly opened her mouth and was surprised by Ye Jinsu's words.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say to Ye Jinsu.

After hesitating for a long time, Meng Lan finally said, ”But … but young miss will be getting old soon. When the time comes, we can get married and leave this place.”

Ye Jinsu's face turned cold.

Meng Lan was shocked and quickly kneeled down to apologize. ”This servant has crossed the line. Please do not blame this young miss.”

This was the first time she saw Ye Jinsu angry since she came here.

Ye JinSu frowned as she stared at Meng Lan, who had bent her head down. She wanted to say something. Say what I said to Little Red back then.

However, after her heart had been churning for a few times, she finally said, ”Meng Lan, I am the daughter of the Ye Family. I have the blood of the Ye Family on me.”

”I will never be able to break free from the Ye Family in this life, even if I get married.”

”Besides, there are still my family in the House of Ye. They can all hope for my death.” ”If I get married, wouldn't I die miserably if there was someone stronger than the Xie Clan in the husband's family?”

Stretching out a hand to help Meng Lan up, Ye Jinsu looked into Meng Lan's eyes and said, ”You are following by the side of the prince. You must have seen some powerful figures before.”

”Do you think it would be better if I met them than in the House of Ye?” Ye Jinsu smiled.

Meng Lan couldn't help but shiver. Of course she had seen it before. She had seen the shrewd and scheming Empress of the palace, and she had also seen the various Duke Palaces struggle even harder than this.

Right now, there was no one in Ning Wang's room. The backyard was still quiet and peaceful, but that was only for a short period of time. If Ye Jinsu entered the Royal Mansion, then there would be a formidable opponent in the future. There would be even more vicious people who would want Ye Jinsu dead.

Meng Lan looked nervously at Ye Jinxiu. Ye Jinxiu was a good person. She had just suffered too much and shouldn't have to endure any more of this.

Ye Jinsu tilted his head as if he had seen through Meng Lan's thoughts. He softly said, ”At that time, if mother doesn't help me, and I'm alone in the husband's house, I might die without knowing how like my mother.”

Meng Lan thought of that scene and started to resist.

”No!” Meng Lan waved her hand in refusal. She didn't want Ye Jinsu to enter another fire pit.

She only felt that if Ye Jinsu had chosen to marry the prince from the beginning, then so be it.

At the very least, he wouldn't live so arduously as he did now.

However, Ye Jinsu's words made her ponder deeply. How long could she continue to love him for? If she lost the prince's support, what would happen to her?

She didn't know. She just felt uncomfortable.

Ye Jinsu let go of her and lay back on the bed. She asked softly, ”Do you still think that marrying someone is the best method?”

”No, no.” Meng Lan shook her head. Thinking about it, she felt bitter and choked with sobs, ”I just want my little miss to be fine.”

”Your injury this time is very serious.” Meng Lan cried.

Hearing Meng Lan's crying, Ye Jinsu's heart tightened and she sighed. The words that she wanted to say lingered on her lips before she finally said, ”I will protect myself.”

”I'm tired. Turn off the lights and rest.” Ye Jinsu closed her eyes and turned her head to the side.

Meng Lan left as instructed.

Only when the entire room became silent and dark did Ye Jinsu open her eyes and stare at the curtain above her head.
