The soul-transmigrating princess was neglected, and the twins beat up their father

Chapter 128 The lion opens its mouth

Facing Ye Chuxue's doubts, Yun Mushu quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand, sister-in-law. Actually, this is what happened. I'm sure you've heard that Ye Xinrou and I have already gone through the Zhougong ceremony. It won't be long before she marries into my palace and becomes my princess.

Before this, she was indeed young and reckless, and her actions caused you a lot of trouble and harm. So, this money can be considered as my small apology and compensation to you on her behalf.

Of course, I know very well in my heart that the pain she has caused you cannot be compensated by mere money.

But this is at least a sincere gift from this prince, I hope you won't refuse it!" At the end, Yun Mushu looked at Ye Chuxue sincerely, his eyes revealing real emotions.

Ye Chuxue's brows were tightly furrowed, her lips were tightly closed, and she didn't say a word.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of panic in his heart, like an ant on a hot pan, and hurriedly said again, "Don't worry, after she marries into my palace, I will definitely discipline her strictly and will never allow her to come and bother you and my fifth brother."

After saying that, Yun Mushu's narrow eyes blinked gently at the eldest princess, the meaning of which was self-evident.

The princess understood his thoughts instantly, and immediately reached out to hold Ye Chuxue's hand, saying earnestly: "Xue'er! You and Ye Xinrou are sisters after all, and it won't be long before she becomes your sister-in-law. Blood is thicker than water, so don't make the relationship between you too rigid.

Just be at peace. I will be your solid backer from now on. If she dares to bully you again, you can come straight to me. I will not let her off easily!"

At this moment, the tightly closed door was gently pushed open, and Yun Muheng stepped into the house with an expressionless face. His cold eyes were like a cold sword, quickly sweeping across everyone present, and finally fell on Yun Mushu.

Then, his gaze shifted to the thick stack of banknotes Yun Mushu had placed on the table. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, forming a mocking smile.

He sarcastically said, "Royal brother, oh royal brother, I didn't expect you to be so affectionate. For the sake of the second young lady of the Ye family, you would come here in person to apologize on her behalf. It's a pity that your so-called 'gift' is a little too frivolous! You know, Xue'er has been bullied by Ye Xinrou for more than ten years!"

Hearing these words, Yun Mushu's originally calm face turned red in an instant. His eyes were wide open and he stared at his arrogant brother in front of him.

It felt like a raging fire was spreading wildly in his heart, almost bursting through his chest and erupting. After a moment, Yun Mushu took a deep breath and tried to calm his excited emotions.

Then, he put on a seemingly kind smile and said to Yun Muheng, "Haha, my dear brother, you are absolutely right. These small gifts are indeed not enough to express my apology for the injustice suffered by my sister-in-law. However, this is just a token of my appreciation. I believe that with the strength and status of the Yunxin Palace, we should have everything we need."

Although he had a smile on his face when he said this, there was an imperceptible anger and unwillingness hidden behind that smile.

"Of course, my palace has everything it needs, but the princess, on the other hand, does lack quite a bit. So, since my royal brother has come here sincerely to apologize today, I'd like to make a small request. I remember that there are two shops in the heart of the bustling and bustling section of the city's main street, which are yours. In my opinion, it would be better to give these two shops to Xue'er. That way, Xue'er will have more ways to make money."

After saying that, Yun Muheng looked at Yun Mushu with a smile, but there was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

At this moment, Yun Mushu was already furious, cursing inwardly, "You, Yun Muheng, are truly greedy! Those two shops support the livelihood of most of my palace, and are arguably the most profitable businesses in my palace. How dare you ask for such an exorbitant price? Aren't you afraid of being starved to death?"

Although Yun Mushu was furious and almost had a fit on the spot, just as he was about to blurt out a refusal, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

If he flatly refused now, what if Ye Xinrou, driven to desperation, spread the news that he had slept with a beggar in her boudoir? How would he face the world then? Saving face would be fine, but if this incident caused him to completely lose the throne of Crown Prince, wouldn't that be a loss?

Thinking of this, Yun Mushu couldn't help but swallow his anger, suppressing his anger and thinking about how to deal with it.

Yun Mushu's eyes suddenly became resolute, as if he had made a crucial and difficult decision. He took a deep breath and said firmly, "Alright! Fine, I'll grant your request!"

Yun Muheng then turned to look at the attendant Chen Yu standing beside him and shouted, "Chen Yu, quickly go get some paper and ink!"

Yun Mushu's face was filled with rage at this moment. He stared intently at Yun Muheng across from him, his teeth chattering as he squeezed out a few words, "Prince Yun Xin, aren't you going too far? Since I've already promised you, how could I go back on my word?"

Yet, facing Yun Mushu's angry accusations, Yun Muheng merely smiled faintly, his lips curling upwards in a subtle, sly smile. He responded calmly, "Brother, please don't be angry. I'm only doing this as a precaution. After all, words are worthless. Wouldn't it be more secure for both of us if we could write it down in black and white?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Mushu's fury intensified, nearly bursting forth uncontrollably. But now that things had come to this, he knew he had no choice but to suppress his resentment and anger. He gritted his teeth, picked up his pen, and with a few strokes, he finished the transfer agreement.

After finishing writing, Yun Mushu threw the brush heavily onto the table, then fiercely threw the transfer letter to Yun Muheng and asked unhappily, "Can you finally let me go now?"

Yun Muheng took the transfer letter and examined it carefully. After confirming that it was correct, he handed it to Ye Chuxue beside him and said with a smile, "As for this matter, we have to ask Xue'er's opinion first."

Ye Chuxue took the transfer letter and then the banknotes on the table. She carefully put them into her arms, then raised her head and looked at Yun Mushu innocently, pretending to be surprised and said, "Brother Emperor, so you came here for Ye Xinrou. You should have told me earlier. In fact, I had already released Ye Xinrou before you arrived. Judging by the time, she should have arrived safely at the Prime Minister's Mansion by now."
