My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

Chapter 18: The Bad Dad's Acting Skills

According to the old woman, Ye Wenbo moved to Jinxiu Street in the south city.

Liu Qing knew Jinxiu Street. It was an area where officials from the capital were concentrated. The streets were spacious and clean, and the houses were quite grand.

Although it is not as spacious and grand as Zhuque Street where dignitaries gather, Ye Wenbo is doing well as he has been able to buy a house on Jinxiu Street.

There are many officials in the capital who cannot afford to buy a mansion, especially those from other places like Ye Wenbo who come from small places.

But I wonder if this house was bought with his own money or given by the princess?

Jinxiu Street is generally where officials below the fourth rank in the capital live. It has more of a lively atmosphere than Zhuque Street.

A carriage soon stopped on Jinxiu Street. Chunxi jumped out of the carriage first and reached out to help Liu Yunniang down.

Liu Yunniang looked up at the magnificent mansion in front of her, feeling mixed emotions. The vermilion door was tightly closed, and a plaque with the words "Ye Mansion" hung high above the door lintel, which really looked quite noble.

Ye Xiaoxiao also got out of the car, looking around curiously.

The scumbag dad is rich!

Although Ye Xiaoxiao was not clear about the prices, this mansion looked very grand. Her mother had sold the Ye family's courtyard in Jiangnan for eight hundred taels of silver. This mansion was so big and it was in the capital, so wouldn't it be even more expensive?

When the two servants at the door saw that the person getting off the carriage was a beautiful woman with a child, a hint of doubt flashed across their eyes, and then they became alert.

One of the servants looked Liu Yunniang up and down and asked in a hostile tone, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Chunxi raised her head slightly and answered with a firm look: "This is the residence of Lord Ye Wenbo from Jiangnan. Our lady and daughter are his wife and daughter in Jiangnan. Go and report to them."

Chunxi's voice was loud and clear, and she deliberately amplified the sound, which sounded deafening on this quiet Jinxiu Street.

The young lady said that their trip was open and aboveboard and they didn't need to fear anyone. Chunxi was extremely obedient, let alone anything else.

Look at this voice, so powerful!

Ye Xiaoxiao saw that some people around had started to pay attention to them, and secretly gave Chunxi a thumbs up in her heart.

When the servant heard this, his face changed and he looked at the other person hurriedly.

What’s going on? Hasn’t our master yet married the princess?

Why is there another lady here?

The two men didn't care about anything else. They left one of them to guard the door while the other stumbled into the mansion.

After a while, the servant who ran in to report came out again in a hurry, his forehead covered with sweat. His tone was no longer as tough as before, but with a bit of hesitation and flattery: "Madam, Miss, I am really sorry, we are not able to recognize you, I am afraid there is some misunderstanding, please rest in the mansion first, and wait for our master to come back and make a decision."

Liu Yunniang snorted softly.

Distinguished guest?

In just a short while, I have become a distinguished guest?

The doorman's brain works very quickly. Once he says this, people on the street will probably mistakenly think that the mother and daughter are just relatives who came to visit, right?

This was probably Ye Wenbo’s idea!

"My daughter and I came all the way from Jiangnan. Since my husband is at home, why doesn't he see us? Where is Ye Quan who is beside my husband? Why doesn't he see him?"

The concierge was speechless, "This... this..."

The adults didn’t tell me how to deal with this?

The people on the street had originally thought that the doorman's words were some relatives who came to collect money, and were about to disperse, but when they heard these words, they immediately perked up!

"Is it really the Madam?"

"Of course I do. I even know the name of this master."

"Yes, I know the names of the servants around me. She must be the woman of the family!"

"Really? Isn't this Lord Ye still unmarried?"

"Who knows? There are people who don't recognize their first wives, right?"

"Yes, I heard that the Minister of Rites, Lord Chen, was once slapped in the face by his own wife from his hometown."

"Really? What happened? Tell me in detail..."

"I heard that Mrs. Chen helped Master Chen take care of his parents' funeral in his hometown, and brought her two children to Beijing. Who knew that her husband had married a cousin from a colleague's family? Mrs. Chen was a country woman, and when she saw Master Chen, she fanned him left and right, and beat him so hard that he didn't go to court for several days."

"Wow, there is such a thing, how come we don't know about it?"

"You moved in late, so the officials from other places who came to Beijing are not at peace at home..."

"No wonder..."

It turns out that the ancients were already so powerful. Ye Xiaoxiao was so excited to listen to the gossip here. Hahahaha, how would the fight be if the fans were opened left and right?

With my mother's current skills, what if she took action?

Wouldn’t the scumbag dad be slapped out?

"Ha ha......"

Ye Xiaoxiao was having fun when she noticed that everyone was looking at her.

Am I just too cute?

"Miss, what are you laughing about? Why are you giggling so loudly?"

Ye Xiaoxiao then realized that she was thinking too hard and actually laughed out loud, and now everyone was staring at her.

A blush instantly appeared on his face, and he turned around and fell into Liu Yunniang's arms.

What a shame!

The doorman saw that the topic was becoming more and more off-topic, and he didn't care about anything else. The adults had instructed that they must not alarm others, so this was not alarming at all. Thinking about the possible outcome for him, he trembled all over.

He quickly took two steps forward and respectfully invited Liu Yunniang into the house.

"Madam, Miss, please go into the mansion first. When the master comes back, he will explain it to you. Please go into the mansion first!"

Liu Yunniang snorted lightly, not wanting to make things difficult for the doorman. Anyway, the desired effect had been achieved. She took Ye Xiaoxiao and Chunxi and walked into the Ye Mansion with her head held high.

At this time, Ye Wenbo was pacing anxiously in the pavilion in the backyard, secretly thinking about how to deal with this sudden situation.

When Liu Yunniang brought Ye Xiaoxiao and Chunxi into the backyard, Ye Wenbo instantly put on an extremely affectionate look.

He walked over quickly and stretched out his hands to hold Liu Yunniang's hands, his eyes full of "surprise" and "missing", and said in a trembling voice: "Yunniang, why are you here? I miss you day and night."

Liu Yunniang dodged sideways and looked at him with disgust in her eyes.

Ye Wenbo didn't care. Instead, he squatted down, looked at Ye Xiaoxiao lovingly, and said, "Xiaoxiao, my dear daughter, I miss you so much. Have you grown up so much?"

Ye Xiaoxiao opened her eyes wide, looking at the acting of this scumbag father in front of her, feeling a little bit unable to bear to watch. His seemingly affectionate eyes were actually full of guilt and uneasiness. It was really too fake, wasn't it?

"Oh, Daddy misses me, Daddy misses me so much that he wants to marry me a stepmother?"

The soft and sticky voice was obviously extremely cute, but the words that came out petrified Ye Wenbo on the spot.

This, this daughter is too...
