Chapter 436: What’s up with that face at 436?

Indeed, although it had only been a few short days, Prince Jing and Ye Jiu had become quite close.

Originally, Princess Consort of Prince Jing did not have a good impression of Ye Jiu. Now that she suspected Ye Jiu and Prince Jing of harming her own nephew, the Princess Consort found it even harder to accept.

With suspicion arose the need for investigation.

Nothing was a secret, and very easily, Princess Consort discovered that Ye Gaosheng was Ye Jiu’s elder brother, and that a few months earlier, her nephew had broken Ye Gaosheng’s leg over a soap recipe.

Thus, it wasn’t difficult to guess why Ye Jiu would target Liu Sansan.

What hurt the Princess Consort the most was not that Liu Sansan might end up crippled, but that Prince Jing would go to such lengths for the sake of a maid, even to the point of being ruthless towards his Princess Consort’s nephew.

In a fit of anger, Princess Consort went home to confront Prince Jing, who was not the kind of man to shy away from his actions.

However, in order not to involve Ye Jiu, he openly stated that it was he who had smashed Liu Sansan’s leg, asserting that no other maid had been present at the time and that Liu Sansan had been confused by the pain and thus had mistaken what he had seen.

As for the reason he beat up Liu Sansan, of course, it was because the Liu Family, relying on his influence, bullied others, which led to him being scolded in the Imperial Palace.

Prince Jing and his Princess Consort had a big argument before he stormed out of the door.

Just then, Ye Jiu, who had been waiting at the entrance of the Royal Residence with a veil over her head for quite some time, caught him red-handed.

At that moment, Ye Jiu’s entire head was securely covered by the veil as she directly blocked Prince Jing’s path.

Naturally, Prince Jing couldn’t recognize her, so he blurted out, “Who are you?”

Ye Jiu reached out and lifted one side of her veil, whispering softly, “It’s me, Ye Jiu.”

After speaking, Ye Jiu let the veil fall back down, completely covering her face again.

Prince Jing’s heart was filled with astonishment!

He reached up and snatched the veil from Ye Jiu’s head, unable to believe what he was seeing, “Ugly girl, you better explain honestly to me, what kind of monster are you?”

Ye Jiu quickly looked around, and seeing that no one was there, she quickly snatched the veil from Prince Jing’s hand and put it back on her head, finally feeling a bit safer, “This isn’t the place to talk. Let’s find somewhere safe to discuss this, alright?”

Although Prince Jing’s behavior had been quite satisfactory to Ye Jiu during this time, her own rapid transformation was too much for ordinary people to accept. Thus, Ye Jiu worried that her face would truly scare Prince Jing away.

But seeing Prince Jing nod his head, Ye Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Willing to follow her meant that deep down, he did not have a strong aversion to her.

Otherwise, he would be thinking about how to escape from her, not about finding a safe place to listen to her explanation.

It wasn’t surprising that Prince Jing was so shocked. Anyone would be frightened if they saw someone who had been an ordinary person the day before suddenly change their face entirely.

Moreover, Ye Jiu’s face was becoming increasingly similar to Prince Jing’s, only one was the male version, and the other was the female version yet to mature.

In a nearby tavern inside a private room, Ye Jiu and Prince Jing walked in, then sent the waiter away. Ye Jiu checked and locked the door before sitting down opposite Prince Jing, heaving a sigh of relief.

Prince Jing, after recovering from his initial shock on the way, looked at the flustered Ye Jiu and asked seriously, “What exactly is going on with your face?”

After speaking, Prince Jing’s expression was complex. If someone with an agenda saw the two of them together, they might even assume that the girl was his illegitimate daughter!
