Chapter 43 I Have to Try
Ye Qiaoqiao didn't know either, so Li Runrun forced herself to get up. She returned to her residence and found the door locked. Li Da was not at home at all.
"Did your father go to look for your brother?"
"It must be."
Li Runrun was suddenly extremely anxious. It was already dark, and it would definitely not be safe for Li Da to go alone.
If there were wild wolves at the bottom of the cliff, Li Da would definitely be in great danger.
My younger brother just had an accident, and if something happens to my father again.
Li Runrun felt a dull pain in her heart. She covered her chest, feeling the dull pain. Her throat was filled with the taste of blood.
If something happened to her father and brother, Li Runrun would not be able to accept such a blow. She thought she would go crazy.
Thinking of this, Li Runrun coughed violently again, and her palms were covered in blood.
But Ye Qiaoqiao was terrified: "Ruanruan, don't worry, your father and brother will be fine. Are you okay? I'll get a doctor for you right away."
Li Ruanruan waved her hands, tears streaming down her face but her eyes were determined: "It's okay, I'm going to find the prince now, no matter if he helps me or not, I'm going to try."
Ye Qiaoqiao helped her up: "Then I'll go with you."
Li Runrun's heart ached so much that she couldn't breathe. She felt like she was suffocating after taking two steps, but she didn't dare to stop. She wanted to go faster and faster.
This way, dad and brother will have more hope.
"stop!"
Ye Shuang walked out of the darkness, followed by maids and servants. They lit lanterns, making the scenery by the lake clearer.
It also made Ye Shuang's face look even more arrogant. As she walked out, Li Runrun saw Shaoyao following behind her, looking at her with the same arrogance.
It was as if she was an ant, and anyone who passed by could step on her and crush her to death.
Li Runrun took a step back, but still stepped forward to salute.
Shaoyao whispered in Ye Shuang's ear, "It was her father just now. He had the audacity to come and ask the prince for help. He really thinks the prince will do anyone a favor, and doesn't even consider his own status. Some people don't think that just because the prince asked her to stay for two nights, she will be able to rise to prominence and act like a master in front of us. Pah, she and her father are both lowly things. I find them disgusting even when I look at them."
Ye Shuang looked very happy when she heard this: "Some people are just like that, can't they tell the difference? Well done to you for beating up his father and kicking him out."
"That's right. If Haitang hadn't stopped me, I would have broken that old bastard's other leg on time. But since he vomited blood, I think he's calmed down."
Shaoyao said this deliberately.
Li Ruanruan's nails dug into her palms. Dad had been beaten and was already injured. He was even vomiting blood, but he still wanted to go out alone to look for his brother.
Li Runrun was almost heartbroken. She didn't want to waste any more time and just wanted to see the prince as soon as possible.
So I didn't argue with Shaoyao and the others. I just wanted them to let her go after humiliating her.
Ye Qiaoqiao couldn't stand it any longer and slapped Shaoyao in the face: "How dare you! I think you're the one who doesn't know the rules. You're just a maidservant beside big brother, and you're being rude. I won't reply to big brother, or you'll be in trouble."
Shaoyao covered her face and glared at Ye Qiaoqiao. Although Ye Qiaoqiao was a concubine, she was still the master and she was just a maid.
No matter how much she hated him, she couldn't go beyond that. Shaoyao's face turned black with anger: "When did the Second Miss get so close to a maidservant? Does she want to learn from her so that she can become a concubine for some prince in the future?"
Shaoyao insulted Ye Qiaoqiao in a roundabout way.
Ye Qiaoqiao's maid Cui'er was furious: "You are such a bastard, I will tear your mouth apart."
Cui'er and Shaoyao wrestled with each other.
Ye Shuang took a glance, grabbed Cui'er's arm, raised her hand and slapped her hard.
Cui'er was beaten back, and Li Runrun and Ye Qiaoqiao hurriedly supported her.
Ye Qiaoqiao glared at Ye Shuang: "Young Miss just came back from reflecting on herself at the farm, and she's already acting so arrogantly."
“Snap—”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Qiaoqiao was slapped in the face by Ye Shuang.
Ye Qiaoqiao wanted to return it immediately, but was stopped by Ye Shuang's maid. When pushing her back, Ye Shuang snatched the whip from the guard's hand and hit Ye Qiaoqiao.
Ye Qiaoqiao felt pain, and Li Ruanruan quickly protected her: "Don't argue with them, let's go."
Ye Qiaoqiao's anger flared up. She leaned over Li Ruanruan's shoulder and questioned Ye Shuang, "Why did you hit me? I will tell my mother and father and ask them if you can humiliate me like this."
Ye Shuang held the whip and laughed sarcastically, "I'll tell you why I hit you. Because I'm the legitimate daughter. If I don't like you, I can teach you a lesson. This is the rule. Do you understand?"
Ye Shuang swung the whip again, accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, but Ye Qiaoqiao grabbed Li Ruanruan and dodged sideways.
Ye Qiaoqiao wanted to leave with Li Runrun, but was stopped by the people brought by Ye Shuang.
Ye Qiaoqiao turned and looked at Ye Shuang: "What on earth do you want to do?"
"It has nothing to do with you. I'm in a good mood today. Go away now."
Ye Shuang raised her chin, so arrogantly, and pointed at Li Ruanruan: "You stay."
Li Ruanruan pushed Ye Qiaoqiao and said, "Hurry up and leave."
She lowered her voice and said, "Go find the prince."
Ye Qiaoqiao didn't want to leave, but now going to her elder brother was the best way out.
Ye Qiaoqiao had no choice but to grit her teeth and leave, but left Cui'er here and asked her to help Li Runrun.
Li Runrun stood there, Cui'er leaned beside her, and the two looked at Ye Shuang warily.
Ye Shuang played with the whip in her hand. "You're really capable. I sent ten beauties to my brother, but they were all kicked out. Only you were left. What's so special about you?"
Ye Shuang approached Li Runrun, and Cui'er wanted to stop Li Runrun, but was stopped by Li Runrun.
Ye Shuang pinched her soft face and said, "Because of you, my brother actually punished me to go to the village. You are really capable."
Ye Shuang had a cold face and pushed Li Ruanruan hard into the cold lake water.
Li Ruanruan choked and struggled. She couldn't swim, so she grabbed the reeds on the shore and tried to climb towards the shore.
Shaoyao had already taken a stick and pushed her away when she crawled over, and deliberately pressed her head into the water.
Seeing Li Ruanruan choking and coughing, struggling in pain, Shaoyao's eyes were filled with twisted pleasure.
Ye Shuang also stood on the shore, watching coldly.
Cui Er said from the side: "After all, she is the prince's maid. If you kill her, how will the prince explain himself?"
As she said that, Cui'er jumped down and hugged Li Ruanruan who was about to drown. She swam away and avoided the pressure from Ye Shuang and Shaoyao.
Ye Shuang said in a playful voice: "She fell into the lake and drowned. Can you blame me?"
Shaoyao covered her mouth and laughed: "That's right, can you blame the young lady?"
Cui'er pinched Li Runrun's philtrum, and Li Runrun slowly woke up.
Then Shaoyao and Ye Shuang said, "Miss, why don't you take off Li Ruanruan's clothes and see what kind of beauty she is that makes the prince like her so much."
