Chapter 175 Escape 4
Haitang took a deep breath, turned around, and had to think about how to answer.
After a while, he said, "The concubine didn't eat much today. I guess she's still in a bad mood."
"wrong."
“.......”
Haitang's heart skipped a beat.
Ye Yunchu said coldly: "You should have kept it a secret from me. You said this to make me think that you are not hiding anything from me. Tell me!"
Ye Yunchu thought that since he was getting married today, the Marquis' wife, out of consideration for Xu Wan's reputation, had secretly done something to hurt Li Runrun and punish her.
He thought that was the worst that could happen.
But she didn't expect Haitang to kneel down and say, "The concubine... is gone."
Ye Yunchu thought he had misheard. He suddenly looked at Haitang and asked, "What?"
Haitang was terrified and banged her head heavily on the ground. "It was Madam Hou who told me to keep this from you. I dared not tell you. Early this morning, there was a fire in the flower house next to the bamboo garden. Since then, the concubine has disappeared."
"Gone, what does that mean?"
The corners of Ye Yunchu's eyes turned red with anger: "What do you mean by 'missing'?"
"Just...just...missing. Li Bai disappeared too. The concubine, the concubine...maybe she escaped during the chaos."
"Where can she escape to?"
"We sent people to look for it, but they couldn't find it. Today..."
Haitang was already trembling and didn't dare to continue because she felt that Ye Yunchu was angrier than ever before, although he hadn't shown it yet.
Ye Yunchu already knew what Haitang hadn't finished saying.
Today is his wedding day, so it would be inappropriate to go to such trouble to find an insignificant concubine.
"So, you just let her escape like that?"
Ye Yunchu stood up suddenly and fell back onto the bench.
How could Li Runrun run away? She is such a well-behaved girl, she won’t run away even if someone else does.
How could she have that courage? Even if he gave her ten times the courage, she would not run away.
Ye Yunchu didn't believe it and angrily scolded Haitang: "Did my mother deal with her? You lied to me and said she escaped, right?"
Haitang was so frightened by Ye Yunchu's shout that she trembled all over. Then she said, "No, no, he really escaped. Master, please calm down. This matter has nothing to do with the Marquis' wife. After the Marquis' wife found out, she also sent people to look for him."
Ye Yunchu's anger was not suppressed by this shout, and the noise was too loud.
Xu Wan came out to check the situation, looked at Haitang who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Ye Yunchu who was angry.
Xu Wan came forward to support Ye Yunchu: "Husband? What's wrong?"
The corners of Ye Yunchu's eyes were red. He glanced at Xu Wan, then managed to push her away: "Something happened in the mansion. You should go to bed tonight. You don't have to wait for me. It will be very late when I finish it."
Today is the wedding night. To put it nicely, let her sleep alone first, but to put it bluntly, won’t that mean she will be alone in an empty room?
What's this?
She was ignored on the first day she entered the house, and it was all because of that favored concubine.
Xu Wan had never imagined that a lowly maid whom she looked down upon so much could be so clever and humiliate her on the first day she entered the house.
Ye Yunchu walked out, lowered his eyes and looked at Haitang with coldness: "Come out."
Haitang had seen strong storms before, but she was still scared tonight. She didn't even bother to wipe away her tears and was about to get up and follow Ye Yunchu.
At this moment, Xu Wan ran over, and perhaps accidentally, she stepped on Haitang's kneeling hand, causing her excruciating pain.
Haitang quickly retracted her hands, stood up, and went outside to wait for Ye Yunchu.
It would be best if Xu Wan could keep Ye Yunchu.
But Haitang had been serving Ye Yunchu for so many years, and she knew in her heart that she could not keep Xu Wan, and Ye Yunchu would have to come out sooner or later.
Xu Wan hugged Ye Yunchu's arm, her eyes slightly red, and she looked like she was about to cry: "The prince left just like that, leaving me alone in the empty room. Have you ever thought about my situation? Tomorrow, when the bride serves tea, if mother asks, how should I answer? I have been inconsiderate and made the prince unhappy."
Xu Wan's eyes were red, and she looked at Ye Yunchu very tenderly. She hugged Ye Yunchu's arm tightly, not letting him leave.
Ye Yunchu looked at her and thought she was sensible.
But he was very confused at this time. He was even more certain that Li Runrun would not escape, and he did not have the courage to escape. Something must have happened.
His mind was in a mess, and even when he looked at Xu Wan, he wondered how much she was involved in it.
Ye Yunchu closed his eyes and forced himself to calm down. It was a big taboo to make such groundless guesses.
He took a deep breath and said, "I will say it's my fault. You are so well behaved. Mother knows your temper and knows it's my fault."
Ye Yunchu grabbed Xu Wan's wrist. Xu Wan had been raised in a pampered environment and had never been pinched like this before. She frowned in pain and her finger bones became weak due to the pain, so she loosened her grip.
Ye Yunchu pushed Xu Wan away with force, also using his actions to tell Xu Wan that this matter was not negotiable.
Xu Wan was pushed back a few steps by him, and she deliberately screamed and fell to the ground, crying, making herself look pitiful and aggrieved.
Just wait for Ye Yunchu to look back. Xu Wan is so sure that after Ye Yunchu looks at her, he will not be willing to leave.
But she overestimated herself. Not only was Ye Yunchu reluctant to leave, he didn't even look back.
He walked out of the East Courtyard quickly.
The dowry maid came over to support Xu Wan, but Xu Wan pushed her away angrily, messing up her hair accessories, which showed that she was really angry.
Xu Wan supported herself on the ground again. When had she ever been so embarrassed? She had always been a very well-behaved person, but now her phoenix crown was crooked and the wedding dress in her hands was covered with dirty dust from the ground.
But Xu Wan didn't care about it. She was anxious and angry, and couldn't believe that she had lost to a lowly maid.
Ye Yunchu is back!
return!
Xu Wan rushed to the gate of the courtyard and looked outside with red eyes. There was no sign of Ye Yunchu, not even Haitang.
The dowry maid was not angry after being beaten, but was extremely loyal and came over to support Xu Wan, who was very distressed.
Xu Wan was furious: "Go find it! Go find it!"
All the servants who came with the dowry went out.
Haitang was not stupid. When she came out before Ye Yunchu, she sent someone to inform the Marquis's wife.
When Ye Yunchu was about to go to the wedding banquet in anger, the Marquis’ wife stopped him halfway: "My son, what are you doing! What are you doing!"
The Marquis who followed also shouted angrily: "Today is your wedding day, there are guests outside, how can you make such a scene?!"
Ye Yunchu looked at the Marquis' wife and the Marquis, and he suppressed his anger again: "Father, Mother, tell me the truth, is she still alive? What did you do to her? Why can't you tolerate her? Is it the Xu family's conditions? What did Lord Xu promise you?"
The more Ye Yunchu thought about this possibility, the more he couldn't suppress his emotions: "Dad, Mom, who can tell me?"
