Chapter 671: Punishment 671

Prince Jing rose to his feet, his gaze chilling as he looked at the Princess Consort, "Did you think I wouldn’t find out, Liu Family? If I had not discovered it, how long were you planning to keep this deception from me? Were you intending to never let me know that I have a daughter abandoned to the outside world?"

With a thud, Prince Jing’s Princess Consort collapsed to the ground, her mind a whirl of thoughts, yet unable to utter a single word in defense.

Liu Yunqing stood up and knelt on the ground.

"The Liu Family really knows how to play their cards well, very well indeed!" Prince Jing said before turning and striding away.

After Prince Jing left, Nanny Liu came in, attempting to help the Princess Consort up, but she was unable to lift her.

Liu Yunqing also got up from the ground and said to Prince Jing’s Princess Consort, "Aunt, instead of being heartbroken here, you should quickly think of a way to quell the Prince’s anger. Otherwise, not only will the Liu Family’s foundation of hundreds of years be destroyed in an instant, but even the survival of our nine generations may be at risk!"

With that, Liu Yunqing turned and left.

He had no time to waste here. Now that Prince Jing knew about the child-switching incident, it was imperative to immediately notify his father to make preparations. Otherwise, as he had just said, the Liu Family might just be wiped from the annals of history.

Once Liu Yunqing returned to his residence, he immediately wrote an urgent letter and sent it out by carrier pigeon. Just in case, he also sent another by fast horse to the capital city.

After Prince Jing returned, he did not sleep; instead, he sat alone in the study, motionless for a long time.

Only when a servant came to report did he finally speak, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort has been kneeling outside for two hours. What should we..."

"Tell her to roll back to where she came from!" Prince Jing said wearily.

A good while later, the servant came back again, "Your Highness, the Princess Consort won’t leave, and moreover, it’s started to snow outside."

"Then drag her back here for me!" Prince Jing thundered.

No one dared speak after that.

It was early the next morning, and as breakfast was served, Nanny Liu looked at the few dark breads, salted vegetables, and a bowl of white porridge on the dining table, her face turning dark, "Why is there only so much for breakfast?"

The Serving Maid appeared troubled, "The kitchen staff said that His Highness has decreed that from now on, this will be all that Her Highness shall have for her meals."

...

Awakening from sleep, the outside world had already been draped in a mantle of white.

Ye Jiu had just stepped out the door when he saw Ye Qinghua and Ye Qingzhi running toward him from afar.

"Auntie, it’s snowing heavily... such big snowflakes..." Ye Qinghua called out as she ran, continuing until she stopped in front of Ye Jiu.

"I know, you’ll get told off by your mother again if you keep this up," Ye Jiu said as he brushed the snow off the two girls.

"It’s fine, my mother is at home; I came by myself. Lately, I’ve been stuck at home with my mother making me learn embroidery. It was really hard to find a chance to play in the snow like this," Ye Qinghua complained.

Ye Jiu looked out at the thick snow that was already one foot deep and felt a bit more at ease.

Although the animal carcasses had been dealt with the night before last, they had left behind a lot of blood.

Fortunately, it was cold these last two days, so no one went up the mountain, and no one discovered the bloodstains, so no disorder had been caused.

Now that the bloodstains were covered by the heavy snow, they would be even less likely to be discovered. If, when the snow melted, there was a rain, that would be perfect, Ye Jiu thought.

After spending the whole morning having a snowball fight with Ye Qinghua and Ye Qingzhi, it was quite a feat to be able to work up a sweat in the dead of winter.

After the play, Ye Jiu had someone bring hot water for a bath, and then all three of them squeezed onto the heated brick bed.

A knock came from outside from the Serving Maid, "Miss, Ada is asking to see you outside."
