Chapter 6

Chapter Six

Upon hearing Qingruo's words, Ye Fuxun suddenly sat up straight, accidentally pulling at her wound. Qingruo quickly supported her, "Miss, don't move, be careful of your wound."

"Is it really the prince?"

"Yes, Miss, after you fainted, you kept holding onto His Highness's hand tightly and wouldn't let go no matter what. You were murmuring in your sleep, and in the end, His Highness stayed with you all night until dawn before you let go."

Qingruo then winked at Ye Fuxun and added with a gossipy look, "Miss, how did it feel to hold His Highness's hand?!"

"I'm hungry!" Ye Fuxun gave Qingruo a disdainful look. "If you don't get me something to eat, I might starve to death even if I don't die from the pain."

"Phew, don't talk about dying. I'll go get some food for you, Miss."

Watching Qingruo leave, Ye Fuxun remembered Qingruo's gossipy question. What did it feel like? Surprisingly, it felt very comforting and holding his hand was very comfortable.

She never expected it to be the prince who held her hand. But clearly, when she was on his carriage, he seemed indifferent and aloof. How could he possibly have held her hand?

It seemed that the prince was not as the outside world described him.

Unaware of the infatuated smile on her face, Ye Fuxun thought to herself.

With the prince's presence, Ye Fuxun safely arrived in the capital.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for taking care of me all the way. I will always remember your kindness," Ye Fuxun said as she prepared to part ways with Song Hanzhuo.

"Is this considered biting the hand that feeds you?" Song Hanzhuo raised an eyebrow, clearly a noble and charming young master, but with a touch of wickedness.

"Why compare yourself to a donkey, Your Highness? It's also okay for you to burn the bridge after crossing the river," Ye Fuxun couldn't help but laugh mischievously.

Ji Nanbei couldn't help but laugh, "Your Highness, everyone has their day." Yun Li and Qingruo, constrained by their identities, held back their amusement.

Song Hanzhuo glanced at Ji Nanbei, put away his fan, and didn't mind Ye Fuxun's rudeness. "Let's go. I heard that the tea at the Ye Residence is good. Jun'er, it wouldn't be excessive to have a cup of tea to repay this life-saving grace, right?"

Jun'er?! So familiar, and besides, the tea at the Ye Residence couldn't be better than that at the Prince's Residence. Ye Fuxun looked at the person swaggering ahead and couldn't help but comment.

Finally, standing at the entrance of the Ye Residence once again, Ye Fuxun looked at the plaque with the words "Prime Minister's Residence" written in a proper and upright manner, and a sarcastic smile appeared on her face.

"Ye Yunshang, Aunt Xie, Ye Hanliang, I'm back! This time, I want to see what tricks the hypocritical step-sister and the selfish father can play?!"

Qingruo hurried to knock on the door, but the gatekeeper opened the door, looked surprised, and then slammed the door shut with a "bang."

Qingruo walked to Ye Fuxun's side with a slightly angry look on her face, and comforted her, "Miss, this gatekeeper must be new and doesn't recognize you. He has already gone inside to report."

"Heh." Ye Fuxun chuckled lightly, "He may not recognize me, but I recognize him."

Song Hanzhuo was also not in a hurry, and he looked at Ye Fuxun's inexplicable excitement with great interest. It was clear that the Ye Residence had probably slighted her and made her feel embarrassed, but instead of getting angry, she seemed more and more excited, making it hard for people to understand.

Ye Cheng led everyone to the main hall, passing through corridors, past artificial hills and clear water, and a beautiful scenery all the way. Finally, they went around a lotus pond and arrived at the main hall.

The familiar scenery made Ye Fuxun's heart sink bit by bit. Walking in the Ye Residence now, in her previous life, the last time she went to the Ye Residence was when she had become a concubine and sought her father's justice, only to be driven out of the house.

Before Ye Fuxun's feet stepped into the hall, a teacup came flying and smashed at her feet.

"Evil creature! You still dare to come back?!"
