Chapter 16 Betray the Prince
Gu Yuanqing heard the noise, lifted the car curtain, and looked over curiously. Seeing the soft and miserable appearance of the pear tree, and the fragile look of the pear blossoms in the rain, reminded him of the crabapple tree that was in full bloom and then fell into the mud by the spring rain, broken but cold and beautiful.
Gu Yuanqing thought that this maidservant was extremely beautiful and it would be a pity to sell her off, so he said to Ye Yunchu beside him: "This servant is quite pitiful. What has she done wrong? Why not sell her to me?"
He didn't notice at all how gloomy Ye Yunchu's face was.
Gu Yuanqing ruffled his hair again, propping up his sunglasses with a folding fan, looking very distressed. "Ah, I just can't stand seeing girls suffer. I happen to have twenty taels of silver here, which is enough to buy her. Send the indenture to my house later."
Gu Yuanqing stuffed twenty taels of silver into Ye Yunchu's hand and was about to jump down to save the beauty, but then he was pushed by someone and fell backwards suddenly, almost falling off the carriage.
Just as he stood firm, thinking that it was a close call, he saw Ye Yunchu jump off the carriage faster than him and run straight towards the beautiful maid.
“What’s going on…?”
Before Gu Yuanqing could figure out what was going on, something hit him head-on, making his eyes go black. He then fell off the carriage and landed flat on his face. The same thing fell down and hit him a second time.
Gu Yuanqing covered the two bumps on his head, sat up from the ground, picked up the things and saw that what hit him twice was his twenty taels of silver.
"Ye Yunchu!"
Gu Yuanqingye was angry, but he got up even faster and chased after him with the silver.
This is the excitement of a cold-hearted prince. After watching it today, you can invite the playboys to have a drink and chat in the evening. It is a shocking excitement.
The love-hate entanglement between the aloof and austere prince and the pitiful and beautiful maidservant is so intense that even a storybook wouldn't dare to write it like this!!!
But he can write one when he gets back.
Before Gu Yuanqing ran over, he heard the always cold-hearted Ye Yunchu's angry voice: "Stop!"
Li Runrun was already disheartened, her face was pale, tears were streaming down her face, and her hair was disheveled. When she heard the voice, she looked up with extreme fragility and saw Ye Yunchu, who was dressed in a cold and noble manner.
She didn't know why, but her tears suddenly fell even harder.
Ye Shuang trembled all over when Ye Yunchu scolded her, but she quickly straightened her back in a reasonable manner: "She, she is dishonest and stole something, so I punished her."
Ye Yunchu walked over and untied the rope that tied up Li Ruanruan.
Some people wanted to help untie the rope, but Ye Yunchu scolded them: "Get lost."
The guards and maids immediately knelt on the ground.
Ye Yunchu held the disheveled Li Ruanruan in his arms and pointed at Ye Shuang angrily: "Come in!"
A group of people entered the Marquis's mansion again, as the saying goes, family disgrace should not be made public.
Gu Yuanqing was extremely anxious, but he could only watch the door of the Marquis' Mansion being closed.
"Why don't you show this to me?"
"If you don't show it to me, I'll start spreading rumors. You can't blame me for this, right?"
Gu Yuanqing sighed regretfully and got on the carriage: "Go back home."
Ye Yunchu led people directly to the Marquis's wife. Ye Shuang didn't dare to breathe the whole way, shrinking her neck and looking very scared.
But she was not afraid at all. As long as she bit Li Ruanruan to death and stopped stealing, she would not be afraid.
Ye Qiaoqiao was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat. She even went to ask her mother for help, but then she heard from the servant that the prince had returned.
She followed immediately.
Li Ruanruan was led away by the prince. She was so scared that her whole body was shaking and she could not speak clearly. "Prince, I didn't steal anything. I didn't steal anything. Miss's things."
She was very afraid to see the Marquis' wife, and also afraid of the angry Ye Yunchu. He pulled her wrist very hard and it hurt, but she didn't dare to say it hurt.
She was still unable to keep up with his pace, stumbling and almost falling several times, but he had to help her up again.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but every time at this time, he would walk slower.
Ye Yunchu had just arrived at the west courtyard when the old lady came. Ye Yunchu rarely got angry, and he made such a big noise that naturally some people would talk, which also alarmed the old lady.
The old lady was not worried about anyone bullying her grandson, she just came to watch the fun. You know, Ye Yunchu has a cold personality and doesn't take anything to heart on weekdays. Even when there was a big case in the court last year that almost implicated the Marquis, he didn't even frown.
There was such a big commotion in the Marquis' Mansion today.
The old lady's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she came running over. Apart from the old lady, no one else dared to come and see the prince's fun in public.
But the news had already alarmed the Marquis' Mansion. Even Li Da, who was in the most remote part of the Marquis' Mansion, heard about it. Nanny Song came to test his opinion, but when she failed to find out, she spat at the couple and left.
Nanny Song also scolded him, saying some harsh words like his daughter was about to be sold to a brothel.
This made Li Da very nervous and worried.
In the west courtyard, the Marquis's wife came out to greet the old lady, and then said, "Since the old lady is here, go and invite the Marquis."
The Marquis also hurried over, and the first thing he asked was: "What happened? What's the big deal? Why haven't I heard about it?"
The Marquis was also in a state of panic, terrified. Was there some rumor at court? Had he displeased the current emperor? Was he going to be in trouble? Was his property confiscated? That wasn't possible, was it? Had something happened to the Crown Prince? Was he implicated?
You have to know that although he seems to be in a high position and powerful, he has no real power and is walking on thin ice.
The Marquis was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Everyone looked at Ye Yunchu.
At this time, Ye Shuang saw that her father and mother were both there, and her back straightened a little.
She threw herself into the arms of the Marquis's wife and said, "Mother, please make the decision for me. It was that concubine who stole my things first, so I wanted to sell her out. But I don't know what she said to my brother that made him so angry. She is really a vixen!"
Ye Shuang sobbed and wiped her tears with a handkerchief. "Brother, are you going to turn against me for a servant? Besides, it was the maidservant who stole first!"
Ye Shuang is the first to complain.
Ye Yunchu felt that the little maid huddled beside him was shaking even more violently.
Ye Yunchu protected her behind him and looked at Ye Shuang: "I didn't know that Miss Ye is the one who calls the shots in this mansion now? The people in my room can be sold at will. Are you planning to sell me out someday?"
