Chapter 105 The Crime Does Not Punish Death
"Ye Xinrou, you are so bold! How dare you tease me like this!" Yun Muheng's eyes were wide open with a fierce and sharp light flashing in his eyes. He stared at Ye Xinrou in front of him, as if he wanted to eat her alive.
Then, he abruptly turned to face the Prime Minister. His eyes were filled with a chilling coldness that sent shudders down one's spine: "Prime Minister, look at the wonderful daughter you've raised! She's full of lies, even daring me to deceive her. Such a crime deserves severe punishment, and she deserves death!"
Upon hearing this, the Prime Minister's face turned pale, his legs gave way, and he fell to his knees with a thud. Trembling all over, he said with deep trepidation, "Your Highness, I beg you to calm down. I truly know nothing of my daughter's actions. However, as her father, I failed to discipline her strictly, leading to her grave error. This is truly my fault. Please punish me severely!"
Looking at Ye Xinrou again, she was now timidly hiding behind Chang, not daring to raise her head, let alone meet Yun Muheng's terrifying gaze. Her whole body was trembling slightly, and she was cowering like a frightened little rabbit.
Although Chang, who was standing in front of her, also looked guilty, when he saw Ye Xinrou's eyes full of fear and her trembling body, he couldn't help but feel pity and love in his heart. He could hardly suppress his feeling of pity.
She gently stretched out her arms and carefully embraced Ye Xinrou tightly. Then, with an almost pleading look, she slowly raised her head and looked at Ye Chuxue standing beside her. Her voice trembled as she said, "Xue'er, please have mercy on me and go and beg the prince. We are all family, and even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected. Rou'er is your biological sister, you can't just stand by and watch her die.
Besides, it was you who saved the prince's life, so this can be considered a credit to our Prime Minister's Mansion. And as the upright Second Miss of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it's not entirely unreasonable for Rou'er to claim that this life-saving grace was hers. Although she made some mistakes this time, she's not guilty of a capital crime.
Hearing this, Ye Chuxue couldn't help but sneer, her laughter filled with mockery and disdain. Her gaze was like ice, staring coldly at Chang in front of her. Her tone was stiff and indifferent, and she responded, "Haha! How ridiculous! You say her crime doesn't deserve death. Should all the suffering I've endured be brushed aside so lightly?
When I caught a cold, I was left alone, with no one to care for me. My precious jade pendant was brutally snatched away by Ye Xinrou, and no one came forward to seek justice for me. When Ye Xinrou oppressed me at every turn, you stood by and watched. Even more outrageous, not long ago, you even attempted to steal my precious blood. How insane!
Back then, why didn't you say we were family? Did anyone ever care about my life or death? Now that things have come to this, you only remember to talk to me about family. How dare you say such things?
A subtle hint of impatience flashed across Chang's eyes, but she suppressed her irritation, managed a kind smile, and spoke in a gentle tone, "Xue'er, I really wasn't doing the right thing for you in the past. I didn't care enough about you. As for this precious gift, we just hope you can show your filial piety as a child."
Besides, it was Rou'er who donated the heart's blood this time. For this reason, shouldn't you thank her? You know, if she hadn't replaced you, then you would be the one who needs to donate the heart's blood right now."
However, Ye Chuxue seemed to have heard the funniest words in the world. She was stunned for a moment, and then she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Her laughter was filled with endless mockery and disdain. Her beautiful eyes stared coldly at Chang, and she sarcastically said, "Hahahahahaha... Madam Prime Minister, what you said is truly brilliant! You can actually say black is white, and wrong is right. You have truly brought your ability to confuse right and wrong to its peak.
What a pity! Regardless of whether Ye Xinrou provides my heart blood or not, I will never be able to fulfill your wish! Moreover, I will never forgive that vicious woman in my entire life!
Yun Muheng was seen with his hair standing on end with rage, his eyes seemed to be spewing fire, and his raging anger seemed to be able to burn everything to ashes. His originally handsome face was now frighteningly gloomy.
"How could you be so vicious that you even dared to plot against the blood of my princess? You are absolutely lawless. Are you so bold? Do you really think that there is no one to support Xue'er behind her? Or do you think that I am weak and can be bullied?" Every word Yun Muheng said was like thunder, deafening, and his fierce aura frightened everyone present.
The Prime Minister looked at Yun Muheng with awe and trepidation, shaking his head like a rattle, his face filled with fear. He stammered incoherently, "No... that's not the case, Your Highness. Please calm down and let me explain!"
"Explain? What is there to explain? Do you have to explain how you colluded with each other and planned such a cruel thing as taking Xue'er's heart blood? The genius doctor clearly said that just a bowl of ordinary blood from a relative would be enough, but you insisted on taking Xue'er's heart blood. Do you still dare to argue that you have no intention of harming Xue'er?" Yun Muheng showed no mercy, pressing forward step by step, questioning loudly, frightening the prime minister so much that he trembled all over, with cold sweat dripping from his forehead like rain.
The Prime Minister trembled as he lifted his sleeve and frantically wiped the sweat from his forehead, his head lowered so low it was almost buried in his chest. At this moment, his mind was racing as he racked his brains for a solution: I must not let anyone know that Ye Chuxue was not my biological child, or else the entire Prime Minister's Mansion would be doomed!
Just as the Prime Minister frowned and racked his brains for a countermeasure, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly reached his ears.
Ye Chuxue opened her red lips and said slowly: "What the genius doctor Shi said is that a bowl of ordinary blood from a relative is enough. However, since the Prime Minister is determined to take my heart's blood, if I am not mistaken, then is it possible that I am not actually a relative of the old lady? That means I am not the Prime Minister's biological daughter!" After that, Ye Chuxue's mouth corners rose slightly, revealing a playful smile, and her eyes stared straight at the Prime Minister.
