Chapter 44 Punish Her
Ye Shuang's eyes lit up: "That's a really good idea. I want to see what's so special about her."
Ye Shuang ordered the maidservant beside her: "Pick her up, strip her naked, and throw her back down. I want to see what she has done to seduce my brother so much that he sent me to the manor for her."
The guard on the side wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he said nothing. He just gave a look and the guards present turned their backs.
Ye Qiaoqiao ran to the East Courtyard anxiously, only to find out that the prince was still in the palace and had not returned.
Ye Qiaoqiao slapped her head. She should have thought of it earlier. With Ye Shuang's vicious heart, how could he let her leave so easily to get help?
Ye Qiaoqiao hurried back and saw the wet Li Ruanruan pressing a hairpin against Ye Shuang's neck. Her clothes were disheveled and her face was pale, but she shouted, "Don't come over here, don't come over here!"
Ye Qiaoqiao ran over and saw Cui'er was also disheveled, with red eyes and aggrieved look, which made her even angrier.
He walked over and stood behind Li Ruanruan: "Don't go too far! Big brother is not in the Marquis' Mansion, but he will come back soon. When the time comes, he will make you suffer."
Ye Shuang scratched the skin of Li Ruanruan's arm with her nails, and was extremely angry: "Li Ruanruan, you are so brave, why don't you let me go immediately? I will kill you if I just scratch the skin!"
Li Ruanruan's heavy breathing, the last gasps after her desperate struggle, lowered her head, and pressed her cold lips against Ye Shuang's ear: "Miss, if you really push me to the limit, I'll trade my life for yours. Who of us is more precious? Whose life is more valuable? Hmm?"
Ye Shuang felt the pain of the hairpin piercing her flesh, and she was immediately frightened, and her hand that was holding Li's soft flesh loosened.
Then, obviously scared, he said, "Li Ruanruan, how dare you!"
"Even rabbits bite when they're angry. If I can't survive, shouldn't I take someone with me? I won't be alone on the road to the underworld with the young lady by my side."
Li Ruanruan exerted force, and the golden hairpin on Ye Shuang's head cut a bloody mark on Ye Shuang's neck.
That cold and stinging feeling was so suffocating that it really felt like death was approaching.
Ye Shuang was really scared and quickly showed weakness: "Don't kill me, you can ask for anything you want."
Without Li Ruanruan saying anything, Ye Shuang spoke up herself: "All of you retreat, quickly, all of you retreat, retreat far away."
Ye Shuang's maid didn't want to leave yet.
The guard had already spoken: "She just wants to get away, she won't hurt the young lady. We are in the way here, so let's go."
After they all left, Li Runrun let go of Ye Shuang.
Ye Shuang was so frightened that her legs went weak and she knelt on the ground.
Ye Qiaoqiao rushed up and wanted to hit her, but Li Runrun held her back, shook her head at her, and then dragged Ye Qiaoqiao away.
Only a blood-stained golden hairpin was left.
After they ran away, Ye Shuang stood up, holding her neck, and shouted, "Find her for me! If I find her, I'll skin her alive."
After a while, the person who went to look for her returned and reported: "The second young lady and the concubine have run away to the old lady's courtyard."
Ye Shuang gritted her teeth and said, "Ye Qiaoqiao, that snitch, is she going to complain about me again?"
Shaoyao said, "What can a concubine like her say against you? Even if she does, Madam will protect you. You are a noble woman, so what does she mean?"
Ye Shuang covered her neck and sneered, "Yeah, what am I afraid of?"
Ye Shuang looked at the blood on her palm. She was very delicate and had never suffered such a torture. Her eyes turned red immediately.
Then he said, "Even if my brother wants to come and hold me accountable, the wound on my neck is enough to make that concubine suffer. She actually dared to hurt me. I didn't kill her, but she actually wanted to kill me. It's really funny."
Shaoyao looked carefully at the wound on Ye Shuang's neck. It was actually very small. After Ye Shuang covered it for a while, the bleeding stopped.
But Shaoyao still carefully covered Ye Shuang's wound with a handkerchief, and then said, "Are they the only ones who will complain? Why don't you also go to the Madam to complain about the young lady's injury?"
Ye Shuang understood immediately after Shaoyao reminded her. She glanced at Shaoyao and said, "I'll go and ask my brother to bring you over tomorrow. You're really smart."
Shaoyao lowered her head and smiled very embarrassedly: "I am used to serving the prince."
Ye Shuang raised her chin and said, "Then I'll go and tell my mother that I'll make you my concubine."
Shaoyao immediately smiled happily: "Thank you very much, Miss."
In the west courtyard, the Marquis's wife was looking at the account book.
Ye Shuang ran in crying, "Mother, please make the decision for me."
Madam Hou quickly reached out and hugged Ye Shuang: "Oh, what's wrong, darling?"
Ye Shuang tilted her neck and said, "Look, mother, that concubine wanted to kill me. If I hadn't hidden quickly, you wouldn't have seen her. Mother~"
Ye Shuang hugged the Marquis' wife, whining with extreme grievance, and wiped her tears that didn't exist with a handkerchief, which was stained with blood.
The Marquis's face immediately darkened: "How dare she be so bold."
Then the Marquis's wife thought of Li Ruanruan's cowardly appearance, and she knew Ye Shuang's character very well.
Frowning, "Shuang'er, tell me the truth. Did you do something excessive?"
Otherwise, how could Li Runrun be forced to resist like this? She saw that the concubine was usually very cautious and treaded on thin ice.
And why did Li Mutou suddenly get into trouble? When would the imperial horse in the stable eat fresh hay from the farm? And Ye Shuang just happened to have returned from the farm in the past two days. This was all too much of a coincidence.
Madam Hou looked at Ye Shuang with a gloomy face.
Ye Shuang pretended to wipe her tears as she said, "What can I do? I just said a few words to her, and she actually wanted to kill me! I can't eat or sleep well at the farm, I'm half tanned, and I look old before I even get married, all because of that concubine. I can't get angry anymore, I can't go and scold her. Is it because my brother is partial that mother has to follow suit?"
"Wow, that concubine is not a good person. Ever since she became a concubine, so many things in the mansion have caused mother a headache. Now mother is still on her side. Don't you even trust your own daughter?"
"Last time, your brother said that the concubine was from his courtyard. If you want to punish her, go to your brother and complain. Besides, I have already punished the concubine. How can I punish her again? Wouldn't that make your brother unhappy?"
"Mother punished me, how did she punish me?"
"Kneel down."
"That's not a punishment. Mother should..."
Ye Shuang's eyes turned fierce. "We should also punish that concubine by sending her to the farm to suffer for two days, and then bring her back. I'm sure my brother won't be angry about this, after all, it was the concubine who made the mistake first."
"this......."
"My neck hurts so much, mother. What if it leaves a scar? Will my husband's family look down on me when I visit them in the future? What can I do, mother? I've already done this, and I just punished her to go to the farm and suffer the same hardships I've suffered for two days. Do you think you'll side with her? That... Shuang'er is too wronged..."
Ye Shuang cried and made a fuss again. The Marquis's wife had no choice but to nod and agree: "Okay, okay, okay, punish her."
