Chapter 54 Ye Ting Xiao Asks for Water
Ye Tingxiao sat next to Du Wanwan and glanced at Huo Qingxiang: "Who is that girl? Why is she talking so weird? Very rude."
Du Wanwan did not hide it from him: "When she heard that you were coming, she stayed and refused to leave. She never comes to my side on weekdays. Her name is Huo Qingxiang, the granddaughter of the chief of Huojia Village."
"Idiot." Ye Tingxiao sneered, then retracted his gaze and asked Du Wanwan, "Why did you ask Aunt Hua to find me?"
"event."
Du Wanwan calmly brought in a group of bandits from Dujia Village, who discovered and killed them. She briefly told them about the silver bills found on the corpse, and then took out the stack of silver bills and handed it to him.
"Every sheet of this thing is marked, look carefully. It was originally stained with the smell of wolfsbane, but I cleaned it off."
Taking the banknotes, Ye Tingxiao flipped through them carefully and found marks on each one.
"Baofeng Bank?" Ye Tingxiao said these four words subconsciously. He confirmed again, "Were these banknotes stolen from the body of the thief?"
"Yes!" Du Wanwan glanced at Ye Tingxiao and gave her own analysis, "I don't know what kind of money house Baofeng Money House is, but I am sure that Baofeng Money House must have some connection with Qizi.
Why are these banknotes marked? That is to prevent the banknotes from falling into the hands of others. Once an uninformed person takes the banknotes to Baofeng Bank to exchange them, it will inevitably alert the person behind the scenes. "
Ye Tingxiao counted the amount on the banknotes, then his eyes widened: "Two hundred thousand taels? That much?"
Du Wanwan disagreed: "I guess this is only part of it. It is very likely that the children brought more than this amount of banknotes. Did you know that the banknotes are hidden in the clothes of the children?"
Money? Silver bills? Baofeng Bank? Ye Tingxiao frowned deeply. This matter seemed to be more complicated than he had imagined.
He seemed to remember that the headquarters of Baofeng Money House was in Kyoto, and he didn't know who ran it. Could it be that the purpose of these gangsters was to enter Kyoto?
"Miss Du! Thank you for telling me this. This matter is very important. I will deal with it as soon as possible." Ye Tingxiao stood up and bowed deeply to Du Wanwan.
Huo Qingxiang, who was far away, saw the anger in her eyes. She didn't understand why the Prince of Pingyang, who was so high and mighty and independent, had to bow to a village girl.
Was it because she saved him? Wasn't it natural for a village girl to save him? Saving him was Du Dalang's blessing in three lifetimes.
Why did she have to ask people to salute her? Why did Huo Qingxiang care so much about Ye Tingxiao's attitude towards Du Wanwan?
To put it bluntly, it's jealousy, deep jealousy, and then there's resentment.
Just imagine, even Ye Tingxiao had to bow and kowtow to the wise, so if she really became his concubine in the future, she would have to bow and kowtow to Du Wanwan as well.
She is clearly someone she looks down upon, so why should she bow to her?
She doesn't want it, she doesn't want to.
Whether Du Dalang is a man or a woman, to her, he is just a country girl who is not worthy of her attention.
"All right! We are relieved to leave the banknotes to you." Du Wanwan looked up and said to Ye Tingxiao, "Take your people and go! I came to you for this matter."
Instead of leaving, Ye Tingxiao sat down again, carefully folded the silver bills in his hand and put them into the sleeve pocket.
It was not easy to see her, but he didn't want to leave like this, so he had to say a few words. Ever since he knew he couldn't let her go, he could no longer control his heart.
I don't want to leave so soon, I want to stay with her for a while.
What to do when you just have nothing to say?
After thinking for a while, he shamelessly put forward his request: "Can you give me another pot of water like that? My old injuries have healed a lot. The water you gave me is very good and special."
Du Wanwan looked at him speechlessly: "Ye Tingxiao! Don't you think you've gone too far? It's already good enough to give it to you once, but you still want more? You're asking for more."
Ye Tingxiao felt very strange when she suddenly called him by his full name.
It has always been rare to hear anyone call him like that. Most of the people below him call him "Master, Prince", his parents and elders in the family call him "Da Lang", and those younger than him call him "Brother".
It was the first time he heard someone call him like that. It was strange and fresh, and he liked it very much.
"Yes! I still want more. I know I am too greedy." The usual coldness on Ye Tingxiao's face was gone, revealing a hint of tenderness. He lowered his voice, "But your water is really magical. After I drank it, I felt like I was reborn.
Anyway, you are my savior. I owe you a favor in this life, so I might as well owe you more. It doesn’t matter.”
Du Wanwan was defeated by his words: "How can you be so shameless? No matter how good the things are, you should stop at the right time! Besides, I told you clearly last time that it was the last time I gave it to you. Didn't you understand?"
"Did you say that?" Ye Tingxiao recalled carefully, "Why don't I remember? You didn't say that."
After saying that, he took off the water bag hanging on his waist and handed it to Du Wanwan. Ye Yier, who was not far away, saw it and was delighted.
Although they couldn't understand what they were saying, they knew from their actions that the master was begging Miss Du for water. Thinking of the specialness of the water, they couldn't help but smile.
Huo Qingxiang saw this and felt that the Prince of Pingyang was too pitiful. It was just a pot of water. How could Du Dalang be so stingy? He looked so unhappy.
Whatever she thought in her heart, she said: "This Du Dalang is really not worthy of being on the stage. The prince just doesn't want a pot of water, is it that difficult?"
After saying this, he looked at Ye Yi and Ye Er flatteringly and said, "Can you two let me pass? I'll go get some water for your prince."
Ye Er glanced at her calmly and rejected her unceremoniously: "Our prince doesn't like the water you fetched."
Ye Yigeng simply said: "No need."
Huo Si'en sat aside and didn't even want to say a word. He knew that his granddaughter was ambitious, but she was the son of Marquis Pingyang and was not worthy of a small family like theirs.
But he also knew that nothing he said today would work, and it would be better for his granddaughter to get married as soon as possible, otherwise she would be embarrassed.
He sat quietly and searched through all the eligible young people of other families in the village, but found that there was no suitable one. It seemed that there was no need to rush this matter.
Huo Qingxiang asked Ye Yi Er persistently, "Why? Is the water I put in different from the one Du Dalang put in? How can the water become a magic medicine after being put in by her?"
Ye Yi really wanted to tell her, you are right, Miss Du’s water is a miracle medicine, and it is a priceless miracle medicine.
Ye Er also wanted to say that the water given by Miss Du was divine water, and no one in the world had that stuff. If it was just ordinary water, would our master have to beg for it in a humble manner?
I can't say this, I can only think about it in my heart: "Little girl! Some things can only be understood, not expressed in words. You'd better not ask. Knowing too much may not be a good thing."
Ye Yi gritted his teeth and acted fiercely: "Your life will be in danger, understand?"
