Chapter 20 He Might Be a Little Bad
Li Ruanruan had already swallowed it and stopped chewing it. She was now waiting for the prince to pick some food for her and secretly glanced at him.
When she found that he was also looking at her, her face turned red immediately and she held the small bowl in her hand and spoke obediently.
Ye Yunchu picked up a small chicken drumstick for Li Runrun and put it in her bowl this time.
The pear was soft and I couldn't chew the bone. I had to think carefully about where to spit the bone, and finally I set my eyes on the small bowl in my hand.
Li Runrun lowered her head, wondering whether she should spit into the bowl, when she saw Ye Yunchu's jade-white hand reaching out to her mouth.
As if afraid she might have swallowed it, he ordered her, "Spit out the bone."
Ye Yunchu slapped her mouth with his hand: "You can't even eat, and you need someone to teach you? When you sell my clothes, you can make money that well, huh?"
Li Runrun reached out, held Ye Yunchu's wrist, pressed it down, and spit the bone into the small bowl.
Then he tried to explain: "I..."
But she did make his clothes into embroidery and sell them, so any explanation seemed pale.
Li Ruanruan fell silent again.
Ye Yunchu was aggressive: "What else do you dare not do? Just tell me how much scraps of my clothes the young ladies in the boudoir have in their hands, and how much money you have earned."
Li Runrun understood what she had heard. It turned out that he had come in such a long circle to ask for money.
The prince who wants money will be particularly easy to talk to, even to the point of asking her to spit the bones into his hands. He must be short of money too.
So Li Runrun put down the small bowl and touched the purse tied around her waist. This was filled with money by her sister Haitang. In fact, there was only one or two taels of silver in it, and she didn't dare to take more.
She put the purse in his hand: "For the prince."
Ye Yunchu was quite interested when he saw her huge purse. He felt that the purse was very light. "Is there banknotes in it? It seems that Su Xiu has made a lot of money."
Li Runrun blushed. Su embroidery did make some money, but she didn't bring any.
When Ye Yunchu heard Ye Shuang say that the price of takeout Suzhou embroidery was so high that it was hard to come by, he thought Ye Shuang was exaggerating.
It turned out to be true, Li Runrun had already made some money.
He still opened the exquisite purse with great anticipation and took a look inside: "Empty?"
Li Ruanruan got off his lap and shook her head hurriedly: "No, it's not empty."
She turned the purse upside down and poured a tael of silver into Ye Yunchu's hand, as if she were pouring out a treasure.
Ye Yunchu looked at the silver coin in his palm that was barely enough to fill his teeth, then looked at Li Ruanruan: "Where's the banknote?"
Li Ruanruan shook her head and lowered her head to pick at her fingers: "That's all."
Ye Yunchu first collected the two ounces of silver and put them in his arms.
Li Runrun watched his actions and thought to herself, as expected, just like a prince, he is also very short of money.
Ye Yunchu's eyes changed, and his voice became noticeably hoarse. "I don't believe it. You must have hidden some silver. Where did you hide it?"
"No, really not."
"I don't believe it. Let me search."
Ye Yunchu reached out and grabbed Li Ruanruan, pulling her in front of him. Li Ruanruan hurriedly explained, "Really, there's nothing left, Sister Haitang. We've searched everywhere."
"I'll have to search it myself before I can say anything. What if you still have some silver?"
Li Ruanruan was imprisoned by him and there was nothing she could do.
He just wanted to search and he had to look at her, as if he had to wait for her to nod in agreement before he would search.
You could say he's polite, a little, but not much.
Her face turned red when Ye Yunchu looked at her. Li Runrun felt under great pressure, and finally gave up and nodded.
Search, just search...
She closed her eyes, steeled herself, and opened her arms to make it easier for him to search her for any other silver, let alone banknotes, because she didn't have any.
He didn't even notice the increasingly uncontrollable smile on Ye Yunchu's lips, nor the hint of amusement and malice in his eyes.
He really searched, searched thoroughly.
Li Runrun bit her lip during the search, feeling something was wrong. This was not a serious search. If the prince had not been so serious, Li Runrun would have really thought that he was deliberately taking advantage of her.
But the prince looks very serious.
The prince is a very noble man and it is impossible for him to do such a thing as taking advantage of others.
Li Runrun thought that she must be dirty, her thoughts were not clean, and she had read too many medical books.
"It seems that there is really no money left."
Li Ruanruan felt like her brain was a mess. After hearing what he said, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded solemnly: "Really, no more."
Ye Yunchu held her in his arms again: "What should we do? What should we do if we don't have money? If we can't get money, we can only ask..."
The prince's breath was on the back of her neck, and Li Runrun shrank her neck in fear.
She felt like she was being stared at by a giant wolf that was about to bite her neck off at any moment.
Then her stomach growled twice, interrupting the prince's words.
Li Ruanruan pursed her lips. She was already hungry. It would have been fine if she hadn't eaten a few bites of food, but after eating, she still wouldn't be full. Of course, her stomach protested, and she became even hungrier.
Ye Yunchu was silent for a while, as if hesitating, and finally sighed softly: "Let's eat."
She is injured and thin, so I won’t give her any more food.
What if it ends up being raised to death like that delicate cat?
Li Runrun sat on the chair. She turned around and saw Ye Yunchu get up and leave.
Isn't he eating anymore?
He just ate two bites of vegetables and tofu, and he was full?
How did he grow so tall and strong even though he ate so little?
Li Runrun didn't understand, but she could finally eat well without him around.
Li Runrun started eating voraciously again, fearing that Ye Yunchu would call her away again and she would not be able to eat anymore.
The dishes cooked in this kitchen were so delicious, unlike the radishes and cabbages she usually ate, which were either too salty or tasteless, and there was sand in the coarse grain rice.
The rice is fragrant and soft, and the dishes are delicious.
Unfortunately, Liruanruan was very full and left most of it uneaten.
It would be great if I could pack some food and bring it back for my dad and brother. My brother is recovering from an injury and needs nutrition right now.
Ye Yunchu went to drink a pot of tea, and when he came back he saw that Li Runrun was full but still staring at the food.
He called to her, "Come here."
Li Ruanruan was busy again and followed him into the study. Ye Yunchu called her, "Grind the ink."
Li Runrun hurried over to grind the ink. Ye Yunchu sat down and seemed to be writing a letter. His writing was smooth and beautiful.
Li Runrun couldn't help but put her hand on his pen and paper, and because she was distracted, her eyes were on the tip of the pen.
I remembered that it was this hand I used just now. Why did they have to pinch it during the body search?
Li Runrun looked down at her chest, then at his hands, confused.
When Ye Yunchu took the brush to dip it in ink again, he noticed her gaze and touched the tip of her nose with the brush: "Peeking?"
Li Ruanruan knew she was overstepping her bounds, so she lowered her head and explained, "Slave... I... can't read."
Ye Yunchu put down his pen, picked up the letter paper, waited for the ink to dry, and put it into the envelope. He smiled when he heard the words: "Didn't you know a few words at first, but now you can't read anymore?"
