Chapter 125 Pick Her Up
But until everyone was taken out, Ye Yunchu remained unmoved.
When Xu Wan saw Ye Yunchu, she covered her face with a handkerchief. Thinking that she would be disfigured in the future, Xu Wan's face turned pale.
I wonder if Ye Yunchu will dislike it.
When the Marquis' wife saw this, she winked at Ye Yunchu.
Ye Yunchu seemed not to see it and only ordered the best medicine to be brought to Xu Wan.
Finally, he personally held up a gift box and handed it to Xu Wan: "This is a three-hundred-year-old ginseng. Miss Xu has lost so much blood, she needs to replenish it."
Xu Wan blushed, then said, "Since the snake is non-venomous, I feel relieved. This old ginseng is hard to come by, so the prince should keep it for himself."
The Marquis's wife said, "Since he gave it to you, just take it. It's a token of his kindness."
Xu Wan hurriedly stood up and bowed to the Marquis' wife before saying, "Thank you, Madam Marquis, and the Young Master."
Xu Wan gave a look and the maid came and took away the gift box.
Ye Yunchu looked at Xu Wan and said, "I asked someone to bring a sedan chair. I think Miss Xu was frightened and is also ill. She should go back and recuperate."
Xu Wan nodded shyly at Ye Yunchu.
Madam Xu was not so willing to let this go, so she asked the maidservant beside Xu Wan, "Why did this snake suddenly go after Wan'er? Was there anything unusual beforehand?"
The maid quickly knelt down before answering, "There was only one unusual thing. Before the snake appeared, the maid suddenly said there was snow on the young lady's clothes and came over to pat it off for her. Not long after, the snake came out."
Madam Xu raised her voice, "Oh? This is too much of a coincidence."
The Marquis's wife's expression changed.
Ye Yunchu looked around and finally looked at Ye Qiaoqiao.
Ye Qiaoqiao immediately stepped forward and said, "It was a long time between the slapping of the snow and the appearance of the snake. It was indeed because there was snow on Miss Xu's robe that the maid slapped it. Besides, the snake didn't go directly for Miss Xu. It was my sister who was initially targeted by the snake. It was Miss Xu who protected my sister and drove the snake away, which is why she was bitten."
Mrs. Xu wanted to say something else.
Xu Wan hurriedly said, "Mother, the prince said that the snake escaped from the flower room. It's just a coincidence. Besides, what Miss Ye said is true. Mother cares too much about me, so she is worrying too much."
Madam Xu looked at Xu Wan and said, "I hope I'm just being overthinking."
Xu Wancai said, "It's getting late, and my daughter needs to rest. Let's go back early."
Ye Yunchu went out to see Xu Wan off and put her in the sedan chair.
Xu Wan opened the curtains again and stole a glance at the prince standing in the snow. He was so cold and noble that people couldn't take their eyes off him.
When he found out that she was peeking, he smiled at her gently, which made Xu Wan's heart confused.
The sedan chair was lifted up, and Xu Wan hurriedly lowered the curtain, her face quickly turning red.
She touched the red and swollen snake bite on her face with her handkerchief and hissed.
Madam Xu looked at her and said, "Why don't you let us investigate? Based on my experience, someone must have been behind this incident."
Xu Wancai scolded, "Mother, I haven't even married yet, how can you be so forceful and demand accountability from the prince's concubine right in front of him? Moreover, such a far-fetched matter, regardless of whether the accountability is successful or not, will tarnish my image in the prince's heart."
"You've been tortured in vain. Your hands and face are so delicate and well-cared for. If they leave scars, how can I not be upset?"
"She's just a concubine. Once I get married, I won't have to worry about not being able to deal with her. Why did you have to embarrass the prince in front of so many people?"
"I haven't even moved in yet, and I'm already doing maintenance!"
"mother!"
Madam Xu glanced at Xu Wan, who was blushing, and shook her head again: "Fortunately, she's just a concubine, so she's not difficult to deal with. Well, let's let her go this time."
Watching Xu Wan's sedan go away, Ye Yunchu returned to Ye Shuang's yard.
He snatched the cane from the nanny's hand and said, "Li Ruanruan is my roommate. If she does something wrong, I will punish her."
He threw the walking stick to An Ba: "Twenty strokes of the cane are yours."
When An Ba took the walking stick, he had eight hundred thoughts in his mind at that moment.
If the prince really wanted to punish this concubine, he wouldn't have sent someone else to beat her.
You know, this nanny is very strong and looks like she can fight very well.
You can tell how powerful she is by looking at how she beat those servants in front half to death.
Since the prince wants to replace him, we can't fight anymore.
An Ba held a walking stick, with a serious and cold look on his face: "Please come to the concubine."
The pear fell down softly.
She was frightened at first and clung to the bench.
But I didn't feel any pain, I only heard the sound of the walking stick being raised and then dropped fiercely.
Li Runrun immediately understood that it was the water added by the prince.
She also has to cooperate and not let the prince be criticized.
So when her walking stick fell again, she cried out: "Ah——"
“Ouch—”
Until I heard Ye Yunchu's voice: "Shut up."
Li Ruanruan didn't dare to scream and just pretended to be in pain.
An Ba raised his staff high up, and it looked like he was going to drop it heavily, but actually he had restrained his strength, and it didn't hurt Li Runrun at all, but only made her feel the staff falling on her body.
Li Ruanruan had just finished being beaten when Ye Yunchu picked her up.
The Marquis's wife came out at this time and saw this scene. She immediately scolded: "You are spoiling her too much."
Ye Yunchu said calmly: "The man has been knocked unconscious, what else does mother want?"
Li Runrun quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be dizzy.
The Marquis’ wife wanted to say that your tricks could deceive me: “You…”
But seeing that Ye Yunchu had already walked away, he stopped talking.
After sending Chen Yuanpan away with kind words, he went back to look after Ye Shuang.
After everyone left, Ye Shuang finally woke up from her shock: "Snake! There's a snake!"
The Marquis's wife comforted him: "The snake has been driven away long ago."
Ye Shuang's eyes were filled with fear, and as soon as she moved, her waist began to hurt again.
When she saw the Marquis’ wife, she began to cry in fear and asked, “Mother, is my waist broken?”
The Marquis's wife hurried over to cover her mouth. "Pssst, ssst, ssst, what nonsense are you talking about? Your waist is fine, you just twisted it. You need to rest for a while. Imperial Physician Chen told you to take good care of yourself to avoid any further illness."
When Ye Shuang heard this, her face turned pale and she immediately said angrily, "It's all Li Ruanruan's fault. She deliberately fell from the tree and hit me. Mother, you have to take care of this for me."
Ye Shuang cried for a long time but no tears came out.
The Marquis' wife then said, "I've heard everything. It was you who sent people up the tree and shook it, causing her to fall. Fortunately, your brother didn't know about this, otherwise you would have been in big trouble."
The Marquis's wife said seriously: "Just take good care of yourself and don't cause any trouble."
"Mother, mother——"
No matter how Ye Shuang shouted, the Marquis's wife still left.
Ye Shuang angrily punched the pillow, which hurt her waist and made her hiss.
Then, she heard another maid say that Xu Wan had been bitten on the face and hands by a snake, and she laughed again: "She deserved it because she was so pretentious."
Halfway through, Li Ruanruan was afraid that Ye Yunchu was tired, so she whispered, "Master, please put me down."
