Chapter 45 Tipping off the Crown Prince
After hearing what the Marquis' wife said, Ye Shuang immediately came out of her room with an arrogant look, followed by Nanny Wang.
"When will Madam send the people to the farm?"
Nanny Wang said to Ye Shuang respectfully, "When would you like it to be delivered, young lady?"
"Of course it should be delivered that night. Do we have to wait until the next day?"
"this......"
Ye Shuang snorted coldly and continued, "The outer city gate is still open, so why can't we send it there? It would be better to send it there at night. Do you think we're going to ask her to complain to the prince again?"
Faced with Ye Shuang's overbearing look, Nanny Wang had no choice but to bow and said, "Yes."
Ye Shuang added, "Before you leave, please go to the East Courtyard and tell them that the concubine has offended Mother and has been sent to the manor to be punished. No one is allowed to tell the young master, or they will be punished as well."
This is to be kept secret from Ye Yunchu.
Ye Shuang thought that even if she kept it a secret for two days, it would be enough for Li Runrun to suffer.
Finally, Ye Shuang gave the golden hairpin that was snatched away by Li Ruanruan and was against her neck to Nanny Wang.
Nanny Wang was flattered and bent her knees even lower: "How can this be worthy of me, young lady?"
Ye Shuang raised her chin and said proudly, "Madam, your daughter is in her prime. It would be good to keep her or pawn her to prepare a dowry for her."
There's no need to make it too clear.
Nanny Wang was a clever woman. She immediately grasped the golden hairpin and said, "When we get to the manor, I will take good care of this concubine. Please rest assured, young lady."
Ye Shuang nodded in satisfaction and left.
Mingyueju.
Ye Qiaoqiao, Aunt Zhang, and Li Runrun were all sitting together.
Aunt Zhang said, "While the outer city gate is still open, why don't I take out some money and ask the escort agency to go look for the man? They will definitely accept the order."
Ye Qiaoqiao also nodded: "This is the best way right now."
Aunt Zhang called her trusted servant, handed him some silver, and told him to do it quickly.
Ye Qiaoqiao comforted Li Ruanruan: "Don't worry, Ruanruan, your father and brother will be lucky, and everything will be fine."
This is the best solution at the moment, but Li Runrun can't help but be anxious. She is really worried.
Ye Qiaoqiao added, "That Ye Shuang is truly despicable. If you hadn't stopped me just now, I would have gone to the old lady and complained about her."
Aunt Zhang said, "Ruanruan was right to stop you. Not to mention that it's late at night and the old lady doesn't like to be disturbed, even on this matter, she may not be on your side."
Li Ruanruan nodded: "Why waste the old lady's favor on you? It's so hard to get her favor."
It is also very difficult for a concubine's daughter to live in a marquis's mansion, and it is even more difficult for a concubine's daughter who is not favored and has no backing.
Ye Qiaoqiao's eyes turned red. From childhood to adulthood, she had suffered a lot of such grievances, and every time she could only grit her teeth and swallow them.
Ye Qiaoqiao covered her face with a handkerchief and couldn't hold back two tears: "I don't know when I can stand up for myself."
Li Ruanruan comforted her: "Yes, it will happen."
Aunt Zhang also sighed: "I only hope that you can marry a good husband and become the mistress of the family, so that you will no longer suffer this injustice."
As he was speaking, the gate of the courtyard suddenly banged loudly as someone banged on it from outside.
The maid just went to open the door when Nanny Wang and her men kicked the gate open from outside.
Nanny Wang's expression was so ferocious and fierce that she walked through the hall and ordered the maid, "Tie her up for me."
Aunt Zhang tried to stop her, but Nanny Wang pushed her away: "Aunt, are you going to disobey the mistress?"
"This is the Crown Prince's concubine. Even if the mistress wants to punish her, shouldn't she at least inform the Crown Prince?"
"It's not my aunt's turn to worry about this matter, take him away!"
Nanny Wang took the person and left.
That night, Li Ruanruan was stuffed into a carriage and sent to the farm overnight.
East Palace.
Ye Yunchu was still playing chess with the prince. The prince held the white chess piece and looked calmly at the black chess piece that was killing all around on the chessboard, and smiled lightly.
Ye Yunchu picked up the teacup and took a sip, and inexplicably remembered the way his fine tea was drunk up by his concubine like a cow.
Does drinking tea taste better that way?
He picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp, imitating the little maid's behavior.
The Crown Prince looked up at him, smiled gently and elegantly, and reprimanded the eunuch beside him: "Isn't the dinner too salty? Look how thirsty the Crown Prince is, and he wasted my fine Dragon Binxue by drinking it like this."
Ye Yunchu actually laughed.
The eunuch bowed and slapped himself twice, "Oh, it's my fault. I didn't pay enough attention to the cook. He must have mistaken salt for sugar."
The prince looked at Ye Yunchu's smile and was surprised: "It seems that what is written in the storybook is not entirely false. Xiuzhu's peach blossoms have bloomed recently."
Ye Yunchu shook his head again, and after seeing the prince make his move, he made another move, ending the game of chess.
As the prince picked up the chess pieces, he said, "Let's play one more game. I will make sure you return home empty-handed today."
Ye Yunchu didn't seem to care and continued to play chess with the prince leisurely.
The prince also asked, "I heard that the chief priest punished his beloved disciple for once. So, what were you laughing about in class?"
"nothing."
"Then it seems that there must be something."
While playing chess, the prince picked up the notebook beside him and said, "Speaking of which, this notebook is quite well written. Has Xiuzhu read it?"
"I saw it."
"Shancheng is also a talented person."
“That’s all he does.”
The two were chatting.
An Ba had already started pacing at the door.
His hurried footsteps could not be hidden from the people playing chess. If An Ba was not the man given to Ye Yunchu by the prince, he would have been driven out by the prince's secret guards long ago.
If you dare to disturb the prince while he is playing chess, you will die.
Ye Yunchu said in a cold tone: "Come in."
An Ba hesitated for a moment, but still went in.
After entering, he first bowed to the prince.
The prince looked at the chessboard, not caring about the people who came in, but just thinking about his next move.
Ye Yunchu played with the black jade chess piece on his fingertips for a while, without looking at An Ba, he just asked: "Why are you hesitating so much? Just tell me directly."
The backyard is on fire.
Can this be said directly?
An Ba was a man with some brains after all. He hesitated for a long time and decided that it was impossible for him to tell the prince directly that your concubine was bullied by the eldest lady and pushed into the lake and was almost drowned.
Finally, An Ba took out the handkerchief that Li Ruanruan wanted to embroider for Ye Yunchu, which was still a half-finished product, and handed it to Ye Yunchu.
Ye Yunchu only took a glance and instantly understood that something had happened to Li Runrun.
But he didn't show it on his face. He just reached out and took the handkerchief and put it into his sleeve.
Seeing the prince staring at him, Ye Yunchu coughed softly: "It's hard for you to pick it up. It's not good to lose this personal belonging. Got it, go ahead."
An Ba breathed a sigh of relief and left quickly.
It's really too much pressure to be in front of these two masters.
The prince looked at Ye Yunchu and raised his chin again: "Why do I look at it like it's a half-finished product?"
