Chapter 154: Rigid Relationship
Ye Qiaoqiao looked at what Li Runrun was embroidering. Since she had nothing else to do, she said, "Let me embroider with you. Don't be sad. I'll talk to you."
Li Ruanruan nodded.
She chatted with Ye Qiaoqiao about the shop and went into detail about its management.
She also instructed Ye Qiaoqiao: "When you get married, no matter how close your relationship with Master Gu is, you must master the art of Suzhou embroidery yourself. No one can teach you. Do you understand?"
Li Ruanruan added, "You still have to register under the name of the prince, so that you have a backer. I hope Master Gu won't treat you unfairly later. But Qiaoqiao, life is too long. We can't gamble our lives on others. Do you understand what I mean?"
Ye Qiaoqiao nodded: "Okay."
Then she added, "But what if Xu Wan gets married and wants to take over the Su embroidery business?"
"That's why I only taught the embroiderers Su embroidery, but not different-colored embroidery. You're the only one who knows how to do this. I don't think the prince would be so confused, but if that day ever comes, we'll break up and each open our own shop, but you'll always be one step ahead of Xu Wan."
Ye Qiaoqiao laughed: "It sounds very satisfying, soft, but you still think about it."
Li Ruoruan smiled softly, appearing gentle, but her eyes held a firmness and unyielding spirit. "Although the shop is under the control of the prince, our skills are ours. If the prince is unreliable, we can find someone reliable. With our skills, we are not afraid. So I say, no matter how much you and Master Gu love each other, never hand over what is yours. Always leave a way out for yourself."
With Li Ruanruan around, Ye Qiaoqiao felt very safe. She leaned on Li Ruanruan and said, "With Ruanruan watching over me, I'm not afraid at all."
Then Ye Qiaoqiao said, "Ruanruan, why are you suddenly telling me this? It's still a long time before I get married. Is there something wrong?"
Ye Qiaoqiao felt a little uneasy again.
Li Ruanruan smiled and flicked Ye Qiaoqiao's forehead: "You are so silly, of course I have to warn you in advance. If you are coaxed by Master Gu and lose your way, where can I go to cry?"
Ye Qiaoqiao blushed: "I'm not that stupid, you just laugh at me, huh."
"Okay, okay, our Qiaoqiao is the smartest."
Li Ruanruan leaned over and pinched her face: "This is just in case."
Ye Qiaoqiao finally felt relieved: "I just heard you tell me so much, as if you would never have the chance to tell me again in the future, which made me scared. Now this is the Ruanruan I know."
Ye Qiaoqiao hugged Li Ruanruan's arm and said, "Ruanruan, don't be sad. When we save up a little more money, we can pool our money and go talk to Big Brother. Let's see if he can return your indenture and let you go."
"good."
The pear opened softly.
When Ye Yunchu stood outside the ear room, he heard Ye Qiaoqiao's words, and then heard his little maid's soft and obedient words "OK".
In his hand, he held the deed that showed that Li Runrun's family of three had become free citizens. He had originally intended to give it to Li Runrun to make her happy.
At this time, he folded her deeds and went to the study, trying to find a place to hide them.
In the end, he threw the soft deed into the brazier. The flames danced in his eyes as he watched the deed burn to ashes bit by bit.
How could those who had followed him be let go?
Do we have to wait and see her remarry?
If she has such thoughts, she should give up as soon as possible.
Ye Yunchu picked up the fire tongs beside him and rummaged through the charcoal basin.
The paper deed, on which the official seal could still be seen, was completely melted into the charcoal ash and disappeared without a trace.
Without a citizenship deed, she couldn't go anywhere and had to stay by his side.
The charcoal fire roasted Ye Yunchu, and he stared coldly at the tiny flying sparks, thinking that he had not treated her harshly in the past.
How could she have such thoughts?
Yes.
The concubine had no such thoughts.
Ye Qiaoqiao was the one who talked too much.
Instead of staying at home and trying to sow discord between him and Li Runrun, Ye Qiaoqiao has indeed been too idle recently.
Ye Yunchu turned and left, raised his hand, and pushed open the door of the ear room.
Ye Qiaoqiao was startled and turned back, a little timidly: "Big, big brother."
Li Runrun was so scared that the needle pricked her finger again. This time the needle went a little deep and it hurt a lot.
Li Ruanruan held the pear in his mouth for a long time without letting go. He raised his eyes and looked at Ye Yunchu with such innocence and harmlessness.
Ye Yunchu glanced at her, then looked at Ye Qiaoqiao, and Ye Qiaoqiao seemed even more hateful.
Ye Qiaoqiao swallowed her saliva. Being looked at by him, she felt her neck and back became cold.
Ye Qiaoqiao stood up and said, "Since big brother is back, I will go back first."
Ye Qiaoqiao shrank her neck and was about to run.
But Ye Yunchu scolded him: "Stop."
Ye Qiaoqiao shrank her neck sharply. The tone was too fierce, like a sign of a coming storm.
Ye Qiaoqiao was like a quail, with her neck shrunk and she stood there stiffly, not daring to move.
Ye Yunchu turned around and asked, "You still haven't given me the rules for women that I punished you to copy last time?"
Help, how come big brother suddenly remembered this.
Ye Qiaoqiao's eyes went dark, she turned around and looked at Li Ruanruan as if asking for help.
Li Ruanruan stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Master."
Then she said, "The Second Miss copied it and sent it to me. I forgot to give it to the Prince."
At a glance from Li Runrun, Li Bai took out the female rules that Ye Qiaoqiao had copied earlier.
Fortunately, it wasn't lost yet, and Li Runrun breathed a sigh of relief.
I handed the transcript to Ye Yunchu, not knowing whether he was upset by Xu Wan and why he came back so angry.
Ye Yunchu flipped open the copy and threw it at Ye Qiaoqiao: "You call this finishing the copy? What is that thing you copied at the end? It's obvious that you have evil intentions!"
The last four words seemed particularly heavy, as if they were pointing at Ye Qiaoqiao or something.
But Ye Qiaoqiao didn't have time to think about it, she was shaking with fear.
Ye Yunchu said coldly, "Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down to copy it ten times. When you finish copying, you can go back. I will find someone to watch over you, and no one is allowed to help you."
Ye Qiaoqiao knelt down completely with her knees straight, but she didn't dare to say anything more. She only whispered: "Yes..."
Li Ruanruan frowned. She walked over, helped Ye Qiaoqiao up, and looked at Ye Yunchu: "What did the prince do outside? Why did he take it out on the Second Miss when he came back? If you don't like me, just take it out on me."
Ye Qiaoqiao was scared to death. How could Li Runrun dare to say such things when her big brother was so angry? Isn't this courting death?
Ye Qiaoqiao grabbed Li Ruanruan's arm and said before Ye Yunchu got angry: "I copied it, I copied it, I copied it right away, it's my fault."
Then she winked at Li Runrun, telling her to stop talking.
Ye Yunchu glanced at Li Runrun coldly, then looked at Haitang outside the door.
Haitang stepped forward and took the trembling Ye Qiaoqiao away.
They were the only two people left in the room, and the atmosphere was tense.
