Chapter 881: Bringing Trouble Upon Herself
Sure enough, when this girl came out, she truly had a look of unresolved anger.
Sikong Mo’s thoughtfulness finally improved Ye Jiu’s mood somewhat, and only when she was with him did she feel a bit of comfort in her heart.
However, Ye Jiu still had many doubts in her heart, and facing Sikong Mo, she couldn’t help but say, “Amo, tell me, why does Grandfather pretend to care for me so much when he clearly doesn’t love me?”
Sikong Mo’s eyes slightly flashed, “You don’t know?”
“Do you know the reason?” Sikong Mo’s words made Ye Jiu suspicious.
“Back then…”
When Ye Jiu learned of Master Yuan Ling’s prophecy, she simply felt that life was ridiculous.
In her lifetime, she had faced so many hardships simply because of a single sentence from an old monk!
Ye Jiu felt that if Master Ling Yuan were in front of her right now, she wouldn’t be able to resist smashing his head to see what was inside.
As a monk, to utter such baseless words almost cost her her life.
“Amo, I suddenly regret coming to the capital city. If I hadn’t come back then, we wouldn’t be facing so many difficulties now,” Ye Jiu said.
“From the moment your identity was exposed, coming back or not was no longer your decision. Don’t think too much about it; leave everything to me. Trust me, okay?” Sikong Mo said.
“Mm.” Ye Jiu nodded.
By the time they returned to the Royal Residence, it was already deep in the night.
To save time, Ye Jiu directly jumped over the wall to go home.
As a result, just as she jumped inside, Prince Jing grabbed her ear, “You little brat, you still know how to come back? Look at what time it is now!”
Ye Jiu hadn’t yet figured out what was going on when Prince Jing felt a gust of wind attacking him.
Frantically, he could only let go of Ye Jiu’s ear and reach out to block it.
However, he realized that the attack was merely a bluff; as soon as the inner strength reached him, it vanished into thin air.
Prince Jing looked up and saw Sikong Mo flying down from the wall, landing on the ground and cupping his fists in apology toward him.
“Sikong Mo…”
Prince Jing was furious and started to charge forward, only to be hugged by Ye Jiu around his arm, “Father, calm down, calm down…”
Ye Jiu said this while giving Sikong Mo a glance, indicating for him to leave quickly.
Sikong Mo understood that if he stayed any longer, another fight would be inevitable, so he left reluctantly.
Prince Jing called out from behind, “Sikong Mo, if you have guts, don’t run…”
Watching Sikong Mo’s figure fade into the distance, Prince Jing angrily turned back, shrugged off Ye Jiu’s hand that was holding him, and scolded, “Qin Jiu, knowing full well that your grandfather won’t approve of you and him, yet you deliberately entangle yourself with him, do you really want to court death?”
Ye Jiu sighed helplessly, lowered her head, “I’m so tired; I want to go back and rest.”
Seeing this, Prince Jing started to worry, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell? I’ll have someone summon the Imperial Physician right away, you…”
Ye Jiu shook her head, “It’s nothing; I just feel like it’s really hard to be alive!”
Watching Ye Jiu’s forlorn silhouette, Prince Jing suddenly felt, could it be that his opposition was too extreme, causing this girl to feel pressured?
Just a man, as Commandery Princess of Jing Royal Residence, what kind of outstanding young talents couldn’t she have, yet she was fixated on an old man like Sikong Mo, bringing trouble upon herself.
