Chapter 123 About my secret?
The next morning, sunlight filtered through the leaves into the courtyard, creating patches of dappled light and shadow. Ye Chuxue, dressed in a light blue dress, was squatting on the ground, smiling broadly as she played with two adorable little ones.
Sometimes they chased and played, sometimes they laughed as clear as silver bells, and the whole yard was filled with a warm and joyful atmosphere.
At this moment, the originally tightly closed courtyard door was suddenly pushed open with a loud "bang". Everyone was startled and turned to look, only to see Chen Yu hurriedly striding in.
His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and his face was full of anxiety. As soon as he saw Ye Chuxue, he hurriedly said, "Princess, this is bad! Ye Xinrou is making a big fuss in the prison, insisting on seeing you. She even threatened to commit suicide if she doesn't see you today! When the prince found out, he sent me here to ask you if you want to see her or not."
Ye Chuxue raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this, thinking to herself, "Oh, I've been so busy lately that I almost forgot about Ye Xinrou." But keeping her locked up like this isn't a good idea. In a few days, the Prime Minister will probably get anxious and angry. If this gets to my father, it'll be quite troublesome.
After figuring it out, Ye Chuxue slowly stood up, dusted off the hem of her skirt, and said calmly, "Since she wants to see me so much, I'll go meet her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Chuxue walked towards the gate of the courtyard, and Chen Yuze hurriedly followed behind. Together, they walked towards the cell where Ye Xinrou was imprisoned.
As Ye Chuxue slowly stepped into the cell, a stench of decay and dampness hit her face. She endured the discomfort, her eyes anxiously searching for Ye Xinrou. Finally, in a dark corner, she spotted the curled-up figure.
Ye Chuxue stared at the scene in disbelief. The once radiant Ye Xinrou had now become such a shabby mess, her hair a messy mess like weeds, draped over her shoulders. Her face was covered in dirt, her once beautiful features barely visible. Her clothes had long since been torn into strips, barely covering her body, revealing large areas of dirty skin.
Ye Chuxue's heart suddenly twitched, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She was so shocked that she couldn't speak for a long time, and could only stare blankly at Ye Xinrou. After a long time, she came to her senses, turned to look at Chen Yu beside her, and asked in a trembling voice: "What...what is going on?"
Chen Yu hurriedly lowered his head when he heard Ye Chuxue ask the question, and replied respectfully, "Princess, we initially imprisoned Ye Xinrou with several other criminals according to regulations. Those prisoners were all women, so we thought there wouldn't be any major problems. However, unexpectedly, Ye Xinrou's usual overly flashy attire sparked jealousy from others. Her arrogant and conceited personality further angered everyone, and that's why she ended up like what you see now."
Ye Chuxue's heart finally settled down a little at this moment. Although Ye Xinrou was thrown into prison, the original intention was just to teach her a lesson.
But no matter what, Ye Xinrou is the daughter of the prime minister. If someone really dares to do something inappropriate to her in prison, the consequences will be unimaginable!
At this moment, Ye Xinrou slowly raised her head, and her eyes happened to meet Ye Chuxue, who was standing outside the cell bars, with graceful and dignified manner.
In an instant, Ye Xinrou clenched her teeth tightly, making a creepy creaking sound, and her beautiful eyes were filled with burning hatred.
However, just when Ye Chuxue thought that Ye Xinrou would be unable to suppress the anger in her heart, she saw Ye Xinrou suddenly take a deep breath, suppressing the murderous intent that was about to burst out and the strong urge to strangle Ye Chuxue to death.
Then, her eyes turned slightly, and instantly changed into a pitiful and sympathetic look, and then she couldn't wait to run towards Ye Chuxue.
When she got closer, Ye Xinrou fell to her knees without caring about her image, holding the bars of the cell tightly with both hands, and tears flowed down like a dam bursting, she cried so hard that her heart was broken and she couldn't speak.
She sobbed and complained in a voice that was almost hoarse from sobbing, "Sister, I really know I'm wrong this time! I beg you to be magnanimous and forgive me this time!"
Can you give me another chance to start a new life and make a fresh start? These past few days, I've been trapped in this dark prison. I haven't slept a wink all day and all night. All I can think about are the mistakes I made before!
Everything that happened before was my fault! I shouldn't have fought with you for things, and I shouldn't have bullied you and made things difficult for you. I even had the audacity to take your place and pretend to be the prince's savior...
All these mistakes, countless mistakes, are all my fault! Sister, please take into account my young age and ignorance and forgive me this time! Wuwuwu..."
Ye Chuxue snorted coldly, her beautiful eyes revealing undisguised contempt. She shouted in a delicate voice, "Hmph! Are you young and ignorant? You must be joking! You appear to be only a few hours younger than me, so stop talking nonsense to me. If you had me summoned here just to spout this meaningless nonsense, then you'd better shut up and stop wasting both of our time and energy."
After saying that, Ye Chuxue glanced at her lightly, then turned around without hesitation and prepared to leave with light steps.
Seeing that Ye Chuxue was completely unmoved by her apology and was even about to leave, Ye Xinrou's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of panic that was difficult to conceal. She hurriedly shouted, "Don't, don't go! I know a big secret that is closely related to you. If you are willing to spare me, I promise to tell you everything I know."
Ye Chuxue, who had just walked to the door, stopped abruptly after hearing these words, as if time had frozen at this moment.
Then, she slowly turned around, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, her eyes as clear as autumn water narrowed slightly, revealing a chilling and dangerous light. She stared straight at Ye Xinrou and asked in a deep voice, "About my secret?"
At this moment, Ye Xinrou, who was locked in such a sharp gaze by Ye Chuxue, felt her heart instantly rise to her throat, and a chill ran up her spine.
However, she still tried to remain calm and answered bravely, "Yes, it's about your secret. But... you have to get everyone around you to leave first."
