The little ancestor of the family

Chapter 254: Begging for Mercy

After waiting for a long time, King Rui still didn't come home.

Chen Yuerong then ordered the servants to serve dinner.

The dining table was set up in Chen Yan's yard. When the servants served the dishes, they were all trembling with fear, fearing that they would accidentally anger the young master.

However, Chen Yan was in a particularly good mood today. He sat next to Ye Xinran and listened to Ye Xinran telling him the story of the three fights with the White Bone Demon. Until the food was placed on the table and Chen Yuerong called them to eat, he followed Ye Xinran to the table with a reluctant look.

"Roast goose, roast goose, I love roast goose the most!"

When Chen Yan saw the food on the table, he reached out to grab the roast goose on the plate.

Ye Xinran stopped his hand and said, "Yan'er, you have grown up. You have to learn to eat with chopsticks. Remember?"

Chen Yan was a little unhappy.

"But I've always eaten this way, and chopsticks are hard to use."

Ye Xinran patiently persuaded, "Yan'er is an adult now, and adults should behave like adults. It will be impolite to eat directly with your hands when you go out to eat in the future."

"Oh!"

Chen Yan reluctantly picked up the chopsticks and awkwardly reached for the roast goose.

He didn't grasp the meaning of Ye Xinran's words, but Chen Yuerong caught the key point and looked at Ye Xinran in surprise.

"Sister Xinran, are you saying... that you will take my brother out with you in the future?"

Ye Xinran kept watching Chen Yan put a piece of meat into his bowl, then he said, "I do have this plan, but it depends on how Chen Yan recovers."

Chen Yuerong couldn't tell what she felt, but when Ye Xinran nodded, her eyes immediately became moist uncontrollably.

Ever since my brother grew up, he has been locked up in this small courtyard. Not to mention my brother, even my father probably never thought that one day he would be able to take him out.

But Ye Xinran dared to think about it.

Chen Yuerong also believed that she could do it.

The three of them ate quietly.

Chen Yan would occasionally get angry because he couldn't pick up the food, but when he saw Ye Xinran's eyes, he would immediately suppress his temper.

His mother had finally accompanied him for dinner, he must not ruin the meal!

When King Rui came back, he saw such a warm scene.

Chen Yan happily ate the roast goose. After finishing a piece, he picked up another piece with chopsticks and put it into Ye Xinran's bowl.

Chen Yuerong was jealous and stretched out her bowl to him, wanting a piece too.

Chen Yan felt aggrieved. He picked up a piece of ribs from the plate and put it into Chen Yuerong's bowl.

Chen Yuerong was not angry, but smiled and said thank you to Chen Yan.

Chen Yan also grinned and laughed.

Seeing this smile, King Rui, who was standing outside the door, couldn't help but laugh too.

"Your Majesty!"

The maid serving the dishes saw Prince Rui at the door with a creepy smile and quickly bowed to him.

King Rui waved his hand, motioning them to go into the house.

The people in the house also heard the noise.

Ye Xinran and Chen Yuerong immediately stood up and saluted King Rui.

Chen Yan also followed their example and greeted King Rui.

This "good" eliminated Prince Rui's fatigue and made his cold and stern face soften suddenly.

"Dad, you're back! Miss Lu is visiting our house today, and I specially asked her to stay for dinner with my brother."

Chen Yuerong spoke first.

She liked Ye Xinran very much. No matter what, she still hoped that her father would agree to Ye Xinran's request, so she did not directly mention the purpose of Ye Xinran's staying.

King Rui waved his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down.

Then he turned to look at Ye Xinran: "Yan'er is ignorant and makes Miss Lu worry."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for thinking highly of me. This is just a small thing, and it's nothing more than a piece of cake." Ye Xinran replied quickly.

While the two were talking, Chen Yan picked up another piece of meat and put it into Ye Xinran's bowl.

Seeing King Rui looking at him, he stretched out his chopsticks again and picked up a piece of goose meat for King Rui as well.

"Dad, you eat!"

"well!"

Prince Rui was a little at a loss as he held the chopsticks.

A piece of goose meat reminded him of the time when his wife was still alive. At that time, little Chen Yan was also so well-behaved and sensible.

……

After the meal, although Ye Xinran only ate a few bites, she was very satisfied.

Several people in the palace seemed to be in a good mood, so this meant that his trip was half successful.

After dinner, at Ye Xinran's instruction, Chen Yan went to bed early.

Ye Xinran also followed Prince Rui to the main hall to have tea.

Chen Yuerong was there to keep him company.

Prince Rui was a shrewd man and he saw through Ye Xinran's thoughts at a glance.

After a cup of tea, he naturally shifted the topic from Chen Yan's physical condition to the purpose of Ye Xinran's trip.

"Miss Lu, if you have any difficulties, please speak up.

Thanks to you for taking care of Yan'er these days, gifts alone are not enough to express my gratitude, so as long as it is something I can do, I will try my best to do it. "

Ye Xinran was still thinking about how to start the conversation.

Hearing King Rui say this, she was stunned for a moment, and then said: "King Rui is really a discerning person!

Since King Rui asked, I won't hide it.

I came here this time to ask for something.”

"Oh? What's the matter? Tell me about it." Prince Rui looked calm.

Ye Xinran said, "I think Prince Rui has also heard that my father, Marquis Jing'an, died in a yard in Yongning Lane a few days ago."

King Rui nodded, "Yes, I heard about it."

Marquis Jing'an died in such an ignominious way.

A man who loved his wife dearly all his life, had his true colors exposed after his death. It turned out that all his affection and self-discipline were just pretense.

Such a person dares to call himself a gentleman. He is simply a villain among villains!

Those old ministers have already laughed at him for several rounds.

Seeing that Prince Rui did not express anything special, Ye Xinran continued, "Originally, my mother and I thought that the people in the Ministry of Justice would find out the truth, give justice to my father and my mother, and bring the bad guys to justice.

But we never expected that at the end of the trial, the result was actually that my father died of excessive drinking, and the murderer mother and son were also found to be concubines, and wanted to live in the marquis' mansion openly.

I know that without a background, this mother and son would never be able to make a comeback.

They thought that entering the mansion was not a big deal, but what I am worried about now is that after they enter, the next step is to rob the family property and then drive me and my mother out of the mansion!"

"This is your family affair. It seems inconvenient for me to interfere."

King Rui was a little hesitant.

Ye Xinran immediately said: "On the surface, it's a family matter, but in fact, the forces behind my father want to take advantage of the opportunity to seize the family property of the Marquis' Mansion and use it to consolidate their own position.

That mother and son were just pawns in the hands of others.

I have always heard that Prince Rui is an upright person and hates forming cliques and bullying the weak, so I dared to ask the prince for help this time. I only hope that the prince can protect me and my mother and prevent us from being harmed by villains. "
