Chapter 668 Human Nature, the Prince is Well-versed in Officialdom
Yun Mujiu looked puzzled. He didn't expect that Ye Xiaohan knew Yun Xiang better than he did.
She and Ye Xiaohan made a bet on when Yun Xiang would abandon the Ye family. Unexpectedly, the time Ye Xiaohan proposed was one day later than hers, and the date Ye Xiaohan guessed was accurate.
Ye Xiaohan raised his lips: "Premonition."
"My Lord, please stop teasing me."
“It was really a hunch.”
"Okay, then Your Majesty, tell me, is there any factor that makes you know my cheap father better than I do?" Yun Mujiu believed in Ye Xiaohan's sharp intuition, and was also curious about why Ye Xiaohan guessed the time correctly.
"Humanity." Ye Xiaohan said these two words softly. "Prime Minister Yun often acts in the officialdom. I am the prince of Zhongyue State, so I naturally understand what those officials think."
Yun Mujiu had mostly stayed at home before, so she probably didn't have a deep understanding of the political intrigues. But Ye Wang traveled between officialdom and battlefield alone, building his own career, so his insights and insight into political schemes must be extremely profound.
Yun Mujiu suddenly realized. When it comes to the workplace, she is used to working as a doctor in a military hospital, and occasionally goes out on some missions.
Her environment was simple and pure, without too many twists and turns. This also led to her subsequent setbacks, and she was harmed by Wang Shirou, a spy hidden in the military medical team.
Yun Mujiu was amazed at Ye Xiaohan's foresight and asked curiously, "My Lord, in addition to your intuition about human nature, did you also know some news about the Yun Mansion in advance?"
Ye Xiaohan shook his head, "No."
Yun Mujiu was completely convinced. Ye Xiaohan had not learned any information but could guess so accurately. He was really amazing. He quickly asked, "Your Majesty, can you teach me?"
Seeing Yun Mujiu eager to learn, Ye Xiaohan's eyes curved and he said calmly, "Prime Minister Yun is selfish. Mu Mu's guess that Prime Minister Yun would give up Ye's idea immediately was not wrong. It's just that Prime Minister Yun puts his own interests first. Even if he has to give up something to protect his own interests, he will not give up immediately."
"Before giving up, he will think deeply again and weigh whether the next step of giving up will bring him any benefit."
"Oh!" Yun Mujiu frowned, pretending to think carefully. "That is to say, Prime Minister Yun has long wanted to abandon the Ye family, but before taking action, he still has to weigh whether he can squeeze the last bit of Ye's interests out of them."
"Not bad." Ye Xiaohan praised Yun Mujiu. Mujiu's brain was really quick, and he understood what he meant so quickly.
"I received news this morning that Yun Xiang was secretly investigating the Ye family's assets the day before yesterday and yesterday. He also investigated some of the remaining members of the Ye family, as well as officials and merchants who had been on good terms with the Ye family."
Yun Mujiu understood Yun Xiang's intention without Ye Xiaohan's explanation. "So Yun Xiang wants to let the chicken air out for a few days before killing it to see if it can still lay eggs or even golden eggs for him to enjoy."
Yun Mujiu's metaphor was so down-to-earth that it stunned Ye Xiaohan. Ye Xiaohan was well-read in poetry and military books, but he had never heard such a down-to-earth metaphor.
Butler Zeng was stunned. The princess's way of speaking was so rough but cute.
Yun Mujiu smiled: "Why? Your Majesty, do you think my words are too vulgar?"
"No." Ye Xiaohan raised the corner of his lips, "I just think it's interesting."
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness." Yun Mujiu was very satisfied with Ye Xiaohan's answer. "The purpose of words is to express your meaning, not to use fancy words."
Maybe she is just a vulgar woman. People who have lived in the modern world prefer to use colloquial language to express their meaning.
Ye Xiaohan wanted to tell Yun Mujiu about the Yun Mansion, and secondly, he wanted to pick up Yun Mujiu to have dinner in the flower hall.
However, Yun Mujiu remembered the promise he made to Ye Xiaohan yesterday, so he took the initiative to invite Ye Xiaohan to stay in Qichiyuan for breakfast.
For this reason, Yun Mujiu specially made a mango pudding dessert for Ye Xiaohan. It was agreed that she would personally make some desserts for someone, so that that person would not be jealous again.
Yun Mujiu had been quite free in the past few days at the Ye Palace. She had no patients to treat and the weather outside was very hot, so she used her free time to prepare delicious food to relieve the heat.
Unlike the nervousness of the first meal, Yun Mujiu was very casual and relaxed when eating with Ye Xiaohan. The two did not follow the rule of "no talking while eating" but chatted about the situation outside the mansion.
After investigating the final utilization value of the Ye family, Yun Xiang found out that the assets under the name of the Ye family were empty shells, some of the people left by the Ye family were trash, and those who had been on good terms with the Ye family had already run away and didn't bother with the Ye family and the Yun family at all, for fear that they would be implicated by the Ye family and the Yun family and reported to be thrown into jail.
Therefore, last night Yun Xiang decisively wrote the Yun Xiang Divorce Letter and secretly sent someone to deliver the letter to the yamen. The yamen staff personally registered it and published it on the imperial edict early the next morning, announcing to everyone that Yun Xiang and Ye had completely divorced.
At this time, the front of the imperial edict was crowded with people. Thinking back to the time when Prime Minister Yun married Miss Meng from the Meng Mansion, how glorious it was. At that time, the Meng Mansion gave Miss Meng a lot of dowry, and the long street was full of carriages pulling Miss Meng's dowry.
Unfortunately, not long after Mrs. Meng passed away, Prime Minister Yun immediately married Mrs. Ye and also held a wedding. It was not as grand as the one he held when he married Mrs. Meng, but it was still considered grand among the weddings of officials in the capital.
Everyone was talking about it with gusto and gossiping a lot.
An old man sighed, "I never thought that a man who married right after his first wife died would now divorce his second wife."
An old woman glared at the old man: "What wife? Only Miss Meng from the Meng Mansion can be called a wife, okay? Ye Qingyan, a vicious woman, is she worthy of being called a legal wife?"
Madam Yi was filled with righteous indignation, her eyes showing dissatisfaction: "Speaking of which, Yun Xiang promised the Meng family that he would only marry Meng in his lifetime, but he didn't expect that he would marry someone else as soon as Meng left, and even abused Meng's daughter together with Ye! This pair of dogs and bitches, what good are they!"
Another man in gray continued, "I heard that Ye had hooked up with Yun Xiang when Meng was still around."
A handsome young man was puzzled and asked loudly - "What do you mean?" A young guard behind him pulled his clothes and said, "Mr. Ling, there are so many people here, please stop gossiping."
"Hey, you asked the right person." Seeing that someone was interested, the gray-clothed man shouted back, "It was less than seven months after Ye married into the Yun Mansion that she gave birth to the second Miss Yun. I heard that the midwife said that the second Miss Yun was born at full term, not prematurely. What does this mean? It means that when Meng was in the Yun Mansion, Prime Minister Yun got Ye pregnant!"
Others quickly made sounds of disgust, "Eh! How disgusting!" He took advantage of the original wife, but secretly hooked up with the bad woman. He is really heartless.
Ling Xingmu clicked his tongue, and Xiao Zhao stopped pulling his son along and joined the crowd watching the fun.
Another young and handsome man squeezed out from the crowd, walked to the front of the imperial edict, stared at the contents on the imperial edict for a few seconds, then gritted his teeth and looked disdainful.
"Damn scumbag!"
Hearing the sound, the people around looked towards the man.
