Chapter 33 Bullying the weak and fearing the strong
Haitang brought Li Runrun to the prince's study, and she unfolded the portrait and spread it on the table.
Li Runrun came over to take a look. The woman in the first portrait was very dignified and beautiful, with extraordinary temperament.
The first time Li Runrun saw him, she felt that this kind of temperament was extremely compatible with Ye Yunchu.
In other words, they are essentially the same people, born into scholarly families, with noble status and extraordinary bearing.
Cultivated by the family with all their heart, he is the representative of the family and the pride of the family.
They are a perfect match, destined to be a couple.
"Who is this?"
Li Runrun was dazed and asked Haitang.
Haitang glanced at her and said, "She's the daughter of the Prime Minister, and the most likely candidate to become the Crown Prince's wife. I've seen her from afar before, and she's truly a beauty, a true lady from a noble family. We can't compare to her."
Li Runrun nodded. It was like the prince and his younger brother, one was in heaven and the other was on earth, there was really no comparison.
What kind of people are they?
Li Runrun looked at the remaining portraits again. Except for one woman who was extremely beautiful, she felt that the rest were not so good.
Li Ruanruan looked at the extremely beautiful, yet somewhat fragile woman, and anyone would feel pity for her: "Who is this?"
Haitang took a look and said, "As for her, if the daughter of the Prime Minister is the most likely to become the Crown Prince's wife, then she is the least likely. She is the legitimate daughter of Chen Yuanpan."
"Imperial Hospital?"
Haitang nodded without saying anything more.
Li Runrun saw Haitang packing up the scroll and putting it away. She couldn't help, so she said goodbye to Haitang and went back.
When I got home, my father was washing the chamber pot again. My younger brother, who was already able to get out of bed, was sitting beside them, probably wanting to help, but my father refused.
Li Runrun rolled up her sleeves and wanted to come over to wash together.
Li Da also stopped her: "This water is too cold, don't touch it, Dad will wash it alone. Take good care of your body and hands, after all, you have to serve the prince."
Li Runrun blushed and helped fetch water before saying, "The prince doesn't need me to serve you."
The prince is about to choose a wife. The wife is the moon in the sky, but what is she? She is a small blade of grass in the dark corner where the bright and cold moonlight cannot reach.
Li Mutou said from the side: "Sister, didn't the prince keep you here again yesterday?"
Then Li Mutou leaned closer to Li Ruanruan and said, "Sister, did the prince reward you this time?"
Li Da glared at Li Mutou: "You are obsessed with money. The prince is willing to let Ruanruan go. It is a favor. We should be grateful."
Li Mutou pouted.
Li Ruanruan took out the scar-removing medicine and said, "You gave me two boxes of scar-removing medicine. I'll sell them later and buy you a chicken tonic."
"How can that be? Sister, you can use it yourself. The prince gave it to you as a reward."
Li Mutou disagreed and said, "I feel like I'm already well. The medicine that the prince gave me is more effective than eating a hundred chickens. Why should I eat chickens? I can go to work tomorrow. The old grooms are calling me, saying that they're shoveling horse manure without me. They miss me so much."
Li Ruanruan was a little worried when she heard this: "The stable manager..."
Li Mutou, however, was unconcerned: "He tricked me into taking the blame, and he doesn't feel guilty, so why should I be afraid? I'm not afraid of him. I'll go to work and get my monthly salary."
"Then you better be careful. If it's really hard to do, there's still some money at home. I can ask Dad to use his connections to find you a new job."
"Um."
Li Mutou nodded.
Li Runrun still helped fetch water and worked for the whole morning. In the afternoon, Ye Qiaoqiao sent a maid to call her.
When we got there, I took her to see the shop.
On the way, Li Ruanruan asked Ye Qiaoqiao: "Have you discussed the matter of the shop with the prince?"
Ye Qiaoqiao scratched her face a little embarrassedly: "I heard that Ye Shuang sent ten beauties to Big Brother. I thought Big Brother was busy and didn't have time to tell him."
Ye Qiaoqiao was actually also afraid of Ye Yunchu. It was because Ye Yunchu seemed too cold and difficult to get along with.
In the past, during festivals and family dinners, she and Ye Shuang would be tested on their homework. If they didn't answer well, he would punish them.
Ye Qiaoqiao inevitably made some mistakes, although she was never punished by Ye Yunchu.
But when I saw him, I felt the same fear as when I saw a teacher. I would secretly avoid him when I met him on normal days.
She was really scared when she was asked to talk to Ye Yunchu about investment. She practiced secretly several times but didn't dare to tell Ye Yunchu in person.
Li Ruanruan thought she was really too late: "You should have heard that the eldest lady was exiled to the manor, and those beauties were also sent back."
Ye Qiaoqiao's eyes widened, and then they were filled with curiosity: "When did it happen?"
"It happened this morning. Didn't you hear anything?"
"I don't know. I think my mother is suppressing the news and not allowing people below to gossip about it. Haoruanruan, you follow the prince by his side, so you must be more informed than me. Tell me quickly, tell me..."
Hearing that Ye Shuang had received such a severe punishment, Ye Qiaoqiao wanted to laugh out loud. She had finally fallen for her arrogance and she deserved it.
Li Runrun opened her mouth to tell Ye Qiaoqiao, but that was all she knew, and she couldn't tell her what happened last night.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall the punishment the prince had given her, and her legs went weak.
Forget it, let’s not talk about it. What if he gets unhappy again?
Even though her voice was hoarse last night, he still didn't let her go.
A little scared.
Li Ruanruan cleared her throat and said, "I just heard that because of the beauty being sent, the prince was angry with the eldest lady and sent her to the farm to be taught etiquette by a nanny. I don't know anything else."
"That's a lot, good, really good."
Ye Qiaoqiao smiled, looking very happy.
He then lifted the carriage curtain and looked out: "Today is a really good day."
The carriage stopped in front of a poorly run restaurant, and Li Runrun and Ye Qiaoqiao stepped on a low stool to get off the carriage.
The waiter who greeted guests was lazily leaning against the door and taking a nap in the sun, and the shopkeeper behind the counter was nowhere to be seen.
Li Runrun thought to herself, with this attitude towards business, it’s no wonder that the business is not doing well.
Ye Qiaoqiao also frowned and walked in, but she still coughed lightly.
The waiter opened his eyes and said, "Two guests, please come in."
Ye Qiaoqiao didn't waste any time talking to them and showed the sign given by the old lady: "Tell the shopkeeper to gather everyone. I have something to tell you."
The waiter started to panic when he saw the token, but then he saw two young girls coming. His fear subsided a little, but he still went to call for help.
Li Runrun sat on the chair and glanced at the table which had not been wiped clean. They had been sitting there for so long but no one had brought them a pot of tea.
He immediately shook his head and said to Ye Qiaoqiao, "The servants here are used to being lazy. I'm afraid they are difficult to manage."
After waiting for so long, the shopkeeper still showed up.
If the prince came to visit, I would probably have to crawl on my knees to greet him.
