"This must have been stolen by the slaves, Chang-Ying. Please do not let the people touch the money. You will pay the household expenses to your younger daughter with your own hands because she is my precious daughter, and she needs to strengthen her body. Therefore, the expenses given to ger should be the same as that of Chi Xinru, which is 40 yuan." chaoxiang said while coughing, he tried to avoid the conversation.
Chang-Ying hates XinYi with her whole heart, but she can't do anything that time. That is why she had to make fake promises to take care of XinYi. While doing that, she scolded some servants. She blamed everything on servants.
XinYi found this very funny. She smiled, seeing her acting.
"Thank dad and Aunty. So, Aunty would still order me to take Cola and Firewood?" XinYi said while showing her injured hands.
Chang-Ying never thought that weak XinYi would talk like that when everyone was in their house. She was fearless. Chang-Ying feels like she was being slapped many times in front of everyone.
Chang-Ying couldn't wait for the time when she would get the chance to throw XinYi in hell. But that she wants to find a place to hide from everyone's eyes.
Chang-Ying can't hide that time. She tried her best to smile that time.
"XinYi, my intention was to train your body. However, after I have seen your condition, I feel like doing that was a wrong move. Precious daughter doesn't do these types of things. You don't need to do any of that works." Chang-Ying said while trying her best to clear her name as much as possible.
XinYi squeezed her lips and said, "So aunty do I need to thank you one more time?"
Chang-Ying was standing in a critical suiation. she was trapped everywhere with XinYi words. She was in a very problematic suiation because that time prince was there. Every word said by XinYi feels like a sharp sword to her, but the sword was still hanging on her neck.
Chang-Ying wanted to hide the mask of cunning woman hidden behind her simplicity. She was shocked to see that side of XinYi. She couldn't able to believe her eyes.
The real owner of XinYi body was really weak. She was a weak and low self-confidence girl. She was short and thin. Often, when people used to tease her, she used to remain timid, and that is why whenever Chaoxiang saw her, he felt disgusted by her.
Currently, XinYi looks the same, but her appearance and aura have changed. She looks totally a different person.
Chaoxiang was staring at XinYi. He was shocked, but he remained there in his position. Before he could scold XinYi, he said, "XinYi, you can call her mother, not aunty."
"My was a very different person. I had heard that Vizier Chaoxiang had promised my mother that he would only have one marriage in his lifetime. That means he had broken his promise." XinYi said.
Chaoxiang's anger had flared up. When he saw XinYi, he felt that he was looking at a different girl. His first officer wife left him by jumping from the mountain. He still couldn't find her body.
Xin Yan was a woman with a strong character. XinYi might have any memories of her. Old XinYi had always called Chaoxiang as 'dad', but currently, she was calling him with his name.
Chaoxiang could feel the fear creeping inside his body. He saw that her daughter XinYi was standing there with a smile on her face. That smile was very much similar to Xin Yan, her real mother. Xin Yan had a similar smile on her face when she had decided to break all relations with him.
She smiled with 30 percent derision and 70 percent contempt on her face. Even though XinYi was small but her words were pricking like a needle.
Hearing from someone that he will just marry once in his life was just sweet to listen to. In Valoria Kingdom, every single man had more one wife. Lifetime having judt one wife is a sweet thing to just say. emotional and young people say to each other.
All the men of the royal family used to marry more than once. Even in normal family, there had more than one wife. Then how could he have been left behind in these things?
Chaoxiang thinks that having a few wives is not wrong. But the thing is that her daughter had asked that directly on his face.
"Kids don't know that this is not a place to talk about wives affairs. She is just a child, not mind her words. My precious child. " Chaoxiang said with a cold mind. He tried to make it look normal.
XinYi doesn't continue that conversation and smirked slightly. She tries to show that she doesn't want to say anything anymore about it.
Whenever Chaoxiang saw that smile on XinYi's face, his blood boiled.
"XinYi, I had always loved you, I had always tried to be the best father for you, and I will continue to do so in the future. But firstly, you need to answer my questions with honesty." He stated.
"Some people have said that a stranger came, and you left the courtyard with him. They saw you going out secretly. Did you do something wrong?" When the last part of the question was said, there was such silence that even if a needle had fallen, it could have been heard.
Everyone had their eyes stuck on XinYi to know how she would gonna answer that question. XinYi moved her hand to comb her hair and said with her eyes downcast.
"Vizier, this question is really simple. Somebody said this to you, and you believed it? Then what will happen if I say to you that I had seen a strange man going into Chang-Ying house? That means you had been betrayed by your wife?" XinYi's question was sharp like a sword.
"ahh hhee" somebody laughed.
Chaoxiang looked around and got angry. He saw that the laugh came from the 8th prince Hàoyú. The prince had come to see the show. Hàoyú age is 18 years. He was handsome, and he had something in his hands. His eyes were clear like a pearl. He was busy with the thing in his hands because of laughing, and he became the center of attention.
You can say that in the royal family, most of the people were really attractive. Haoyu and the 12th prince were standing together. One brother is soft and calm while the other is naughty and doesn't think before speaking.
Haoyu's mother is from royal blood. He was the smartest one, and he is the favorite child of the king.
Chaoxiang felt embarrassed in front of everyone. He can't say anything to the prince, so he kept on staring at XinYi and said, "Nonsense, what you are saying is complete nonsense and immoral."
XinYi face becomes cold. "Vizier, if what I said was nonsense and you believed it without any doubt, then why are you believing what is being said about me? How are you able to tolerate that bad behavior with your daughter? Are a daughter's words less trustworthy than anyone else's? The words of strangers are true, and my words are lies?" XinYi said with her stares.
"Yes," Chaoxiang said in frustration.
In XinYi's house, the justice of minister was also present. People of both ministers were called to take the matter forward. Rumor spread that a male stranger arriving and leaving XinYi's courtyard. And also that someone was trying to spoil vizier Chaoxiang's name.
This was not a small matter because it was making his name bad. It was also a bad rumor because XinYi is fiancé of 12th prince Shoi-Ming. It is making a bad impression on the king's name.
Despite the royal family's dignity and dismay, XinYi is his daughter. And the fiancé of 12th prince, that's why Chaoxiang is furious. That's why he called the ministers to continue the matter.
Chaoxiang never thought that her weak looking daughter would be this much sharp with her tongue. When he looked closely at the XinYi, then he looked at the Prime Minister and also took a glance at the Justice Department minister.
