My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

Chapter 169 Meeting Daddy Again

Liu Yunniang and Ye Xiaoxiao continued to dine in the new private room, but Liu Yunniang's heart could not calm down because of the rumors just now.

Ye Xiaoxiao noticed her mother's absent-mindedness and asked softly,

"Mother, are you still thinking about those rumors about Prince Song?"

Liu Yunniang came back to her senses and forced a smile.

"Xiaoxiao, it's nothing. I just feel that there are so many gossips in the capital. I originally thought that only country ladies would gossip when they have nothing to do, but I never thought that the children of the noble families in the capital are the same!"

Ye Xiaoxiao pouted and said,

"Humph, those young masters are just idlers who gossip behind people's backs. Although the Song prince is a bit annoying, he is still better than these people."

Liu Yunniang nodded slightly.

"This capital city may seem prosperous and peaceful, but in fact, there are constant undercurrents. I'm afraid someone is behind these rumors. Well, let's not talk about these things. The location of this shop has been decided, and Shopkeeper Wang is still waiting for your new products to arrive!"

Ye Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up when she heard her mother's words.

"Yes, mother, come on, let's go back after dinner."

After Ye Xiaoxiao said this, she began to eat voraciously, and her round little head was almost buried in the bowl.

"Just take your time. It won't take too long."

Liu Yunniang's tone was doting, and she secretly sighed in her heart, what a childish child he is! His mind works so quickly.

The mother and daughter finished their meal and then slowly left the restaurant.

However, the figure downstairs made everyone change their expressions.

"Yun Niang."

"Xiaoxiao."

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Wenbo who was a few steps away and frowned.

No way!

This scumbag dad’s role hasn’t ended yet?

She thought that since Murong Jin's downfall, her scumbag father's future in the capital had come to an end. Why didn't he pack up and go back to Jiangnan? Why did he appear in front of them now?

"what are you up to?"

Ye Xiaoxiao's clear voice rang out, and she tilted her little head, pretending to look at Ye Wenbo in confusion.

Ye Wenbo specially wore a moon-blue brocade robe today. From a distance, it seemed to match well with the dress Liu Yunniang was wearing.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm your father. I miss you. And your grandmother is sick now and keeps talking about you. We all miss you so much."

He felt a little embarrassed when he heard what his daughter said, but he still forced himself to remain calm and tried to appear gentle.

No matter what, my daughter took the initiative to speak, and finally gave me the courage to break the silence.

However, his acting skills were not very good. His eyes were extremely empty. It seemed more like he was acting like a loving father to Liu Yunniang than looking at Ye Xiaoxiao.

Ye Xiaoxiao sneered.

"Hmph, grandma is sick? Doesn't grandma look down on me and mother the most? Why is she talking about me? Oh, grandma said that daddy is going to marry me a princess stepmother. Daddy, where is my stepmother?"

"Xiaoxiao..."

Ye Wenbo showed a trace of embarrassment on his face.

"Xiaoxiao, Daddy didn't lie to you. Grandmother is really sick this time, very sick. Daddy was confused before and made you and your daughter suffer. Can you forgive Daddy?"

Ye Wenbo's tone seemed very sincere, but Ye Xiaoxiao didn't believe a word of it.

"Oh, sure. Why can't you forgive Daddy?"

Ye Xiaoxiao sneered and said nonchalantly.

Ye Wenbo was delighted. As expected, Xiaoxiao still couldn't bear to leave her biological father.

Although Liu Yunniang didn't know what Xiaoxiao's intention was, she believed in her daughter and believed that Xiaoxiao would not forgive Ye Wenbo so easily.

"Dad, do you still remember that when you went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, you took away my mother's dowry? Since you are asking my mother to forgive you, you should show some sincerity! Since you and my mother have already divorced, it is not appropriate for you to take those things! According to the laws of our dynasty, dowry is a gift from a woman's family and belongs exclusively to the woman. If you sue the government based on the dowry list, Dad, you will have to get it back intact."

Ye Wenbo was secretly happy in his heart in the last second, but in the next second his face turned ugly because of Ye Xiaoxiao's words.

Of course he remembered the dowry. When he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, he did take some of Liu Yunniang's dowry with him.

However, now all the dowries have been exchanged for silver, and most of them have been used to prepare betrothal gifts and sent to Prince Shun’s palace.

this......

"Xiaoxiao, Daddy knows he was wrong. Daddy will find a way to return the dowry."

Ye Wenbo said hesitantly.

Ye Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked at him with a half-smile.

"Oh? How is Dad going to pay it back? You know, it's not a small amount. And, as far as I know, Dad, you spent a lot of money on your mansion in Beijing. Besides, I heard that the dowry you gave to the princess' stepmother was not a small amount, right? How come you have money to marry the stepmother, but no money to pay my mother back?"

Ye Wenbo secretly groaned in his heart, he could hardly protect himself now, and all those betrothal gifts were now gone. It was simply impossible for him to come up with the dowry all at once.

But he didn't want to appear too incompetent in front of his daughter, fearing that Liu Yunniang would see his embarrassment, so he had to bite the bullet and say,

"Xiaoxiao, although Daddy is having some difficulties now, Daddy will definitely gather the money together as soon as possible and return it to your mother."

Liu Yunniang looked at Ye Wenbo quietly, without a trace of emotion in her eyes.

"Ye Wenbo, what on earth do you want to do? You and I have long since broken off our friendship, and now you are harassing us mother and daughter again, what is your intention?"

Hearing Liu Yunniang's voice, Ye Wenbo took the opportunity to avoid the topic and did not dare to continue talking to Ye Xiaoxiao.

He looked at Liu Yunniang sincerely.

"Yunniang, I know I made an unforgivable mistake in the past, but I have regretted it. I came here this time, firstly, I want you to let Xiaoxiao go to see her grandmother for the sake of our past friendship, and secondly, I sincerely want to apologize to you. I am sorry for you."

Liu Yunniang smiled sarcastically.

"Past affection? Ye Wenbo, what do you think of me? In order to marry that princess, didn't you plan to abandon my daughter and I to Jiangnan to fend for ourselves? Oh, no, you also wanted your mother to drug me. When I died, wouldn't my dowry naturally become the property of your Ye family? You really have the nerve to sell your wife's dowry and give the betrothal gift to Prince Shun's mansion?"

Ye Wenbo felt extremely embarrassed as he saw more and more people gathering around to watch, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and beg for forgiveness.

He lowered his head, looking guilty.

"Yunniang, I was wrong. I have regretted it a long time ago. I was blinded by lard and confused for a moment. Don't be angry anymore. As long as you forgive me, I will do anything."
