Ye Wanshu had just woken up early in the morning when she heard Chunhong come in and tell her that Fu Mingchi had come to Taowu.
She was a little disgusted at first, but when she learned that this person was here to return the money, her heart suddenly warmed up a lot, and she no longer felt disgusted at all. She even took the initiative to send someone to prepare a rich breakfast to entertain him.
Having stayed in Jikang County for three years, Chu Yin had also heard of the name of Prince Yongning. He knew that he was not someone who could be seduced by women at all, so Concubine Zhang was so anxious that she almost forced a woman into his bed.
She had only been in Taowu for a few days and had seen Prince Yongning almost every day. She didn't believe that His Highness came to see the princess.
Taking advantage of the break in dressing, Chu Yin happily walked to the dressing table and personally tied Ye Wanshu's hair into a bun.
"Wanwan, Prince Yongning truly values you."
Chu Yin tied her hair into a bun and said with a smile, "Qi Yunsheng just took the silver away yesterday, and he rushed to return it today."
"He's a very scheming person, don't be fooled by him," Ye Wanshu snorted coldly.
Chu Yin naturally heard the hidden meaning in her words, but she was worried that Fu Mingchi wanted to use her to make friends with the Prime Minister.
"Even if he has ulterior motives, it's actually no big deal. At least he's the ruler of Yuezhou, and he needs your help. If you marry him, at least you'll be well-matched."
Chu Yin sighed sadly and smiled bitterly, "Unlike me, who ended up losing both his love and wealth, as women, we either seek undivided love or seek wealth and power. We have to have one of these two. It's hard to have both."
"But I have no interest in either of these things."
Ye Wanshu didn't want to listen to her nagging any more. She turned around, took her hand in hers, and said jokingly, "All I want in this life is to stay with Sister Yin in Taowu."
Chu Yin was stunned for a moment, then said awkwardly, "When did you become so indecent, you little bitch?"
This question stumped Ye Wanshu.
She didn't know when she became so unruly. In her previous life, she was well-behaved and restricted in everything. She was dragged forward like a puppet, and had to be cautious in every word and action. That kind of life was too tiring, and she didn't want to be a lady anymore.
In this life, she just wants to please herself.
"I'm not a lady from a noble family, so why should I pretend to be a dignified and gentle girl?"
Ye Wanshu smiled faintly: "After all, we are now outside the secular world. Isn't it good to live according to our own wishes?"
Hearing this, Chu Yin also laughed: "You were broken off the engagement, and I was divorced. We are really good sisters who share the same suffering."
"Sister Yin, that's not right," Ye Wanshu corrected her, "It was the two of us who drove them away."
"Yes." Chu Yin pushed her up helplessly: "Go quickly, guests are welcome, don't keep Prince Yongning waiting for too long."
"Okay, then wait for Shuangshuang to wake up, have breakfast with her at Fuya Pavilion, and wait for me to come back."
Ye Wanshu couldn't delay any longer, after all, Fu Mingchi was here to give her some money.
Leading Chunhong to the front hall, Fu Mingchi was sipping tea leisurely, with Mother Yan and Xingtao serving him carefully.
Seeing Ye Wanshu enter, Fu Mingchi couldn't help but smile, "It seems Miss Ye is more diligent in meeting guests today than usual."
"Of course. How could I keep Your Highness waiting for so long?" Ye Wanshu looked eager to please, but in her heart she instantly despised herself a thousand times.
If it weren't for five hundred thousand taels of silver, I wouldn't care who you are.
After all, it was not a glorious thing. Ye Wanshu asked Mother Yan to take Chunhong and Xingtao to the door first, and then sat down next to Fu Mingchi.
Fu Mingchi took out the deposit receipt from Tongshun Bank, placed it on the table, and said, "Miss Ye, take a look. Are you satisfied with my performance this time?"
Ye Wanshu glanced at the note and saw it was a deposit note for one million taels of silver. She couldn't help but exclaim, "Your Highness has taken back the Qi family's money so quickly?"
Moreover, it was a deposit receipt from Tongshun Money House, which saved her a lot of trouble, as all her money was kept in this money house.
Fu Mingchi didn't want her to worry about these things anymore, so he raised his lips and chuckled, "I like to do things in a legitimate way, and Miss Ye's habit of taking advantage of others is not good."
Ye Wanshu glanced at him and asked, "What do you mean, Your Highness?"
"You're not cruel enough." Fu Mingchi looked into her eyes and said, "The result is the most important. The process is what the person doing the work should care about."
Every time I saw her, her face was full of enthusiasm, but her eyes were always distant, as if revealing some sharpness and forbearance.
This kind of look can only be produced by those who are used to being enslaved and oppressed. It is a look that makes people feel distressed.
Seeing this look, Fu Mingchi actually felt a little complicated. He was happy but also a little hurt. He was happy that he had time to heal the scars in her heart, but her alienation always made him feel inexplicably hurt.
Ye Wanshu couldn't tell whether he was truly teaching her how to do things, or if he harbored resentment for her using him. With a half-smile, she said, "Then Your Highness, do you wish me to be more ruthless or gentle with you?"
Fu Mingchi leaned towards her slightly, his eyes flickering slightly: "This prince would rather the young lady follow her heart."
No need to be so cautious.
Even at a very close distance, Ye Wanshu could smell his faint warm breath. Under his high nose bridge, his beautifully curved lips, and his perfect face, she always had the urge to flirt with him every time she saw him.
Ye Wanshu calmly hooked her fingers under his chin and smiled coldly, "Is that what you said, Your Highness?"
“…”
Fu Mingchi was stunned on the spot.
This girl seemed to have misunderstood what he said, and she was always so eager to seduce him, catching him off guard.
