Chapter 28 The Evil Lecher
"What on earth did he do to you?" Ye Qingyu's eyes turned cold, his voice no longer as gentle and calm as before. This time, he didn't let Ruyi stand up, but let her kneel on the ground to answer.
"Master..." Ruyi's voice trembled, and she felt deep regret. She blamed herself for being so rash and rushed to complain. Originally, she thought she was in the right, and as a close friend of the young prince, he would definitely support her and severely punish the man, or even drive him away.
But now, the young prince was clearly furious, and she couldn't tell whether his anger was due to her words or if he was already dissatisfied with the man. She secretly glanced at the steward Lin beside her, only to see him shake his head slightly, his eyes clearly signaling her to stop talking.
Yet, Ruyi was filled with resentment. She had been with the young prince for years, and was personally chosen and betrothed to him as his concubine by the King of the Northwest. How dare that man intrude upon the young prince's chambers without permission? This was clearly an insult to her and an affront to his dignity. How could she remain silent and not speak out about this matter?
"Master, that man yesterday was too presumptuous. He even broke into your bedroom without permission. I tried my best to stop him, but he pressed my knuckles and forced his way in. What's even worse is... he even moved me in and made me watch him sleep on your bed..." Ruyi burst into tears, pouring out all her grievances.
Qingfeng had been standing quietly by the side, with no change in the expression on his usually serious face. He just pursed his lips slightly.
"Did he move you in?" Ye Qingyu asked in a low voice with a stern expression.
"Uh... no... no!" Ruyi hurriedly denied. If she really let that person touch her body, it would be terrible! "He ordered Qingqing to move it!"
"Yes! I understand. Where is Qingyi?"
"My Lord, Master Qingyi and Qingqing left the palace early in the morning," Steward Lin replied respectfully.
He was a perceptive person and had already noticed something was going on. He was secretly glad that he had handled the situation properly yesterday. Fortunately, he had not forcibly expelled the man from the young prince's bedroom. Judging from the situation, the young prince did not seem to be unhappy about it.
"Uncle Lin, what did you want to say to me just now?" Ye Qingyu asked, glancing at Chief Steward Lin. After Ruyi finished her complaint, he did not immediately order the punishment of the person who had trespassed into his bedroom.
"Your Highness, I want to report to you that yesterday I took it upon myself to get a jar of Feixia wine for Young Master Qingyi." Steward Lin was worthy of his experience in the palace. He had a quick mind and a very fast reaction.
"Well, if he wants to drink, he can drink. It's up to him." Ye Qingyu nodded slightly, his tone quite casual.
At this moment, Ruyi and the others finally woke up, shocked to realize that their master's attitude towards that person was truly unusual. Feixia wine was a fine wine personally brewed by the King of the Northwest. Even within the palace, not everyone could freely drink it. But the young prince had just told that person to drink freely?
"Yes, young prince." Steward Lin breathed a sigh of relief, thankful for his cautious approach. A servant who wished to be appreciated by his master must be adept at understanding his master's intentions. Ruyi seemed quite clever and sensible, so how could she not have seen through the young prince's thoughts?
"Ruyi, all of you please stand up. Young Master Qingyi saved my life, and he made it clear yesterday that he can come and go freely in the palace, just like me, without any restrictions. You must remember this." Ye Qingyu said solemnly with a dignified look.
"But master, this is against etiquette..." Ruyi blurted out without thinking.
"Etiquette? Where is this? Can't I make the decision?" Ye Qingyu looked at Ruyi fiercely. Ever since her father mentioned that matter, she seemed to have lost herself in thought and forgotten her identity.
"Master..." Ruyi was unwilling, but did not dare to argue any further.
"I have neither a princess nor concubines, and Young Master Qingyi did not trespass into the rear residence." Ye Qingyu said this very bluntly.
First, I told Ruyi to understand that you, Ruyi, are not my Ye Qingyu's relationship. I don't recognize you at all. Second, I told everyone in the palace that Qingyi holds a special status and is my savior. You all must serve him well. To offend him is like offending me.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the palace knelt down and responded in unison: "Yes, young prince."
At this moment, Qing Yi and Qing Qing returned. As soon as they entered the hall, they saw everyone kneeling on the ground. They were confused and wondered what had happened.
Although Qingqing didn't understand what was going on, she thought it was better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. Seeing that Manager Lin, Qingfeng, Ruyi and others had already knelt on the ground, she hurriedly knelt down as well.
"Everyone, leave!" Seeing Qing Yi coming back, Ye Qingyu waved his hand and asked the servants to leave.
"Xiao Ye, I'm back!" Qing Yi saw everyone disperse, and rushed to Ye Qingyu's side, picked up Ye Qingyu's teacup, and drank the tea in it.
"..." Ye Qingyu looked at this unrestrained man and wondered in her heart, is this really the person she loves? What exactly is it about him that she likes?
"Why are you staring at me? Are you missing me too much?" Qing Yi joked with a smile.
Ye Qingyu snorted coldly. At this time, he was the only two people left in the hall. Even Qingqing and Qingfeng had left.
"Hehe, look at you, are you angry? Who pissed you off? Tell me, I'll go teach him a lesson!" Qing Yi finally reacted. Everyone was kneeling on the ground just now, so he must have had some problem, so he asked hurriedly.
"I heard that you let my maid watch you sleep?" Ye Qingyu asked with a slightly cold look.
"Um... that..." Qing Yi knew it. It must be Ruyi who complained. Thinking of this, Qing Yi frowned and said with extreme dissatisfaction: "Xiao Ye, who is that girl Ruyi to you? What right does she have to say that I am an outsider and not allow me to go to your bedroom?"
"She said you are an outsider?" Ye Qingyu asked.
"That's right! I was originally trying to politely visit your place, but this girl stopped me and said that I was an outsider who trespassed into her master's backyard and was a scoundrel and a pervert! Do you think I can swallow this?" Qing Yi said angrily.
"So you took advantage of her and moved her into the bedroom to watch over you while you slept?" Ye Qingyu asked.
"Ah? I didn't move her in. I'm not stupid. I asked Qingqing to move her in. If you don't believe me, just call Qingqing in and ask her. I just don't like her. She acts as if she is the mistress of your backyard..." Qing Yi felt that he was right and defended himself nonchalantly.
