Chapter 157 Torn to pieces
Li Ruanruan was amused: "You have money now."
She reached out, took the jade hairpin that Ye Qiaoqiao was holding in her hand, and put it back where it belonged.
Ye Qiaoqiao then said, "I still have this little bit of money."
Li Ruanruan then said, "I have one too, I won't buy it."
Ye Qiaoqiao looked at her: "Really not buying it?"
"No, the prince has everything he needs."
She picked out a silver hairpin for Li Bai, asked the price, and took out silver from her purse to pay.
Seeing that she really didn't want to buy anything, Ye Qiaoqiao said, "Then help me pick some out. I want to give them to Master Gu."
Li Ruanruan thought about it and picked up the jade hairpin: "This one is also suitable as a gift for Master Gu."
Ye Qiaoqiao took a look and said, "Then I'll buy this for Mr. Gu."
Li Ruanruan chuckled and nodded: "Okay."
Ye Qiaoqiao paid the money.
The two of them strolled around for a while and felt tired, so they got on the carriage and slowly returned to the Marquis' Mansion.
Ye Qiaoqiao opened the exquisite gift box, closed it, opened it, and closed it again.
Perhaps she was thinking about how to give it to Mr. Gu, and the smile on her lips never faded.
When I returned to the Marquis' Mansion, it was already dark. It was near the end of the year and it got dark quickly in winter.
Li Runrun and Ye Qiaoqiao parted ways.
Ye Qiaoqiao still handed over the exquisite and beautiful wooden gift box: "Really?"
Li Ruanruan raised her hand and tapped her forehead: "How can you be so careless? Return the things you gave to Master Gu. Be careful or I will tell Master Gu and see how you deal with it."
Ye Qiaoqiao leaned back a bit, then grabbed Li Ruanruan's arm and said, "Good sister, please forgive me."
Li Ruanruan smiled and said to her, "Go back quickly, it's cold outside."
Ye Qiaoqiao left.
Li Ruanruan said to Li Bai behind her, "Lower your head."
Li Bai didn't understand what was going on, but she lowered her head obediently.
Li Ruanruan pinned the silver hairpin on her bun and nodded: "It looks very nice and suits you."
Li Bai raised her hand and touched the silver hairpin on her bun. She was a little flattered. How could such a precious thing be given to her?
She hurried to take it off.
Li Ruanruan held her hand and said, "This is for you. Don't refuse. If you're really worried, just think of it as a New Year's gift from me."
Li Bai still wanted to take it down, but Li Ruanruan said a little harshly: "If you refuse again, I will be angry."
Li Bai didn't dare to take it off, but still looked very flattered. She raised her hand and touched the butterfly silver hairpin on her head. The craftsmanship was very good, and the butterfly's wings would tremble slightly when she walked.
It was as if there was really a silver butterfly landing on my head, it was so beautiful.
Li Bai looked at what Li Ruanruan bought, but she never thought that it was a gift for her.
Although Li Bai said no, she was very happy in her heart, and the smile on her lips never faded.
Li Bai was still holding the box of snacks that Li Ruanruan had bought, and happily followed Li Ruanruan towards the East Courtyard.
Before Li Runrun returned to Dongyuan, she saw Haitang already waiting at the door.
This is quite rare. Normally, there should be a doorman guarding the door, but how can a maid like Haitang be guarding the door?
Is Ye Yunchu coming back soon? Haitang is waiting at the door.
However, when she left in the morning, Ye Yunchu did not go out, but it was common for the prince to not be at home.
Gu Yuanqing said that he had been drinking for a few days and seemed to be living a carefree life.
The weather has been good recently. I went sightseeing with Xu Wan during the day to cultivate our relationship, and then went out for drinks with a few friends at night.
Li Runrun didn't think much about it and she brought Li Bai back.
He also exchanged a glance with Haitang.
Haitang could see that she was having a lot of fun playing outside.
Only the little maid was happy, but the person in the room had been waiting for a whole day and had a very ugly face.
Seeing Li Ruanruan about to head towards the ear room without turning back, Haitang reached out and pulled her back: "You better be more careful."
Li Ruanruan turned back: "Hmm?"
Haitang was right. She was indeed in a good mood and had spent the whole day eating, drinking and having fun outside.
Otherwise, the prince likes to go out for a drink. Going out to play can indeed make people feel better and all the depression will be swept away.
Haitang lowered her voice and said, "The prince wants to see you. I don't know what it is. He has been waiting for you all day and is very angry now."
When Li Ruanruan heard this, she hurriedly said, "Then don't tell him I'm back."
Ye Yunchu waited for Xiao Tongfang for a whole day, and finally saw her come back. He put down the book very unhappily. He had been reading for a whole day, but he still hadn't finished the book.
It's fine when there is sunshine at noon in this window, but the sun disappears in the afternoon, especially when it's almost evening.
The cold wind made him feel extremely cold, and his face was naturally even colder.
He put down the book, walked out of the study, and was about to go to Li Runrun. However, he had very good hearing and heard what Li Runrun and Haitang just said in the yard where one could hear a pin drop because of his cold face.
Suddenly I couldn't suppress my anger.
Li Runrun gave Haitang a few pitiful looks, turned around and hurried back to the ear room to bolt the door.
Haitang didn't let go at first, but then she seemed to be frightened and suddenly let go.
Li Runrun didn't think much about it and turned around to run.
Then he bumped into Ye Yunchu, and she took a step back.
This time, the angry Ye Yunchu did not help her.
Li Runrun took two steps back and was supported by Li Bai so that she did not fall.
She covered her forehead which was hurt by the collision, raised her eyes and met the prince's eyes which were as cold as a pool.
Li Runrun's heart skipped a beat, as if she had seen a ghost while walking at night. She was really scared.
Li Ruanruan took Li Bai two steps back before bowing and greeting him: "Young Master."
Then she turned sideways and said, "Sir, are you going out? I'll make way for you."
Ye Yunchu walked forward, and Li Runrun breathed a sigh of relief.
It turned out that I was blocking his way. It was a close call. Otherwise, looking at his appearance, I would have thought he was going to eat people.
Just as Li Runrun was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Ye Yunchu turned around and stood in front of Li Runrun at the edge of the field. His oppressive aura left her with nowhere to escape.
He spoke word by word, his voice cold: "I'm not going out. I came to find you."
In one word, all of Li Runrun's luck was torn to pieces.
Li Runrun could hear his anger and rage.
Then I remembered that Haitang said he waited for her for a whole day.
What was he waiting for her for?
He took a step forward. Li Runrun subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she stopped herself.
Then she looked up at the prince and said softly, "Prince, I went to the jewelry store today."
Ye Yunchu lowered his eyes and looked at her with an ambiguous expression: "Buy it for me?"
Li Ruanruan paused for a moment before saying, "I saw Miss Xu and admired the phoenix crown she wore for her wedding. It was so beautiful."
Now it was Ye Yunchu's turn to pause before he said, "Did she show you?"
Li Ruanruan smiled: "No, I watched it secretly. I think that on the day when Miss Xu married the prince, she must be very beautiful and a perfect match for him."
