Chapter 47 The Prince is Heartbroken
Ye Yunchu lowered his eyes, his pressure so strong: "What's wrong? Is there any place in this mansion that this prince can't go to?"
Shaoyao was frightened by him and stumbled back two steps, trembling. She gritted her teeth and said, "The place where the concubines live is filthy. It's where low-ranking servants live. I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will pollute the eyes of the prince."
Ye Yunchu sneered when he heard this: "It's been so long, and I haven't found a new place for her to live. Is this how you guys work beside me? Where's Haitang? Haitang!"
Seeing that the prince was angry, all the maids and servants knelt on the ground, and Shaoyao knelt down even more, not daring to move.
She was already terrified, afraid that Ye Yunchu would find out that she was lying, so she did not go to find the concubine.
Ye Yunchu no longer cared and walked out quickly.
Haitang came quickly and saluted behind Ye Yunchu: "My Lord."
Ye Yunchu had a sullen face, but An Ba told Haitang, "The prince wants to see the concubine."
Haitang understood immediately and looked back at Shaoyao who was still kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to get up.
She quickly took the lantern handed to her by the maid beside her, walked in front of Ye Yunchu, and led the way for him.
Haitang carefully walked along the path, afraid that the precious and angry prince would fall, and she didn't dare to breathe.
An Ba also held a lantern in his hand, thinking that he had never seen the prince so angry before. He didn't know whether he was angry at Li Ruanruan for not coming over or at the inability of his subordinates to do their job.
If it were the latter, wouldn't they all be in trouble? What do you call it? When the city gate is on fire, the fish in the pond are affected.
This person is very angry.
Ye Yunchu had already walked away. Shaoyao fell to the ground, feeling so panicked that she didn't know what to do.
But he still hurriedly got up and followed, so that he could have an explanation if the prince questioned him.
Before leaving, she instructed the maid to tell Ye Shuang the news.
He took the lantern and hurriedly chased after him. Because he was too anxious, he tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground, breaking the lantern.
"Sister Shaoyao, slow down. The prince is angry because the concubine refused to come. It's not your fault."
Meixiang hurried over to support Shaoyao. She really didn't know why Shaoyao was so scared. She had no idea what was going on.
Shaoyao didn't care about her injury. She threw the broken lantern aside, stood up and took the lantern that the little maid handed to her.
She nodded to Meixiang and went to find the prince in a hurry.
Ye Shuang had already fallen asleep when she was woken up by the maid. After learning the whole story, she hurriedly lifted the bed curtains and said, "Brother, are you really going to make such a big fuss just for a concubine? I..."
Ye Shuang bit her lip, very annoyed. "I'm not wrong either. I just punished her to go to the farm and suffer the same hardships I suffered for two days. What's wrong with that? Besides, it was the concubine who was at fault first."
Ye Shuang was anxious for a while and paced around the room for a while, but was coaxed into peace by the maid Dong Qing.
When she was ready to go back to sleep, she just lay down and closed her eyes.
But his hands were still clutching the quilt. After all, he had been punished twice by Ye Yunchu, and he was still a little afraid of his brother.
But he thought viciously again that even if the weather was exposed this time, it would be Li Runrun who made the first move.
The scars on her neck were still fresh, which was the best proof.
She is not afraid at all.
Just when Ye Shuang was about to fall asleep while touching the scar on her neck.
Dong Qing, however, opened the bed curtain anxiously and said, "Miss, someone is coming from the prince's side and wants you to come over."
Ye Shuang's eyes suddenly widened, her heart began to beat wildly, and she immediately turned over and refused: "No."
If we call her over at this time, there will definitely be something bad happening.
Dongqing's voice was anxious: "The mistress, the marquis, and the old lady are all here, young lady can't delay."
Ye Shuang was so frightened that she suddenly sat up from the bed: "Such a big scene? It's over, it's over..."
Dong Qing, while helping Ye Shuang get dressed, said, "What are you afraid of, young lady? That concubine dared to leave you with a scar, and she wasn't beaten to death, which is already a sign of your mercy."
Ye Shuang snorted coldly when she heard this: "No matter how much I say, it's still my brother who is being unreasonable. What should I be afraid of? I'm not afraid at all."
Although she said that, Ye Shuang's face was still angry. She quickly got dressed and got out of bed, following the guide nanny.
The servants' quarters were where the most remote and lowly servants in the Marquis's mansion lived.
As Ye Yunchu walked along, he realized that the concubine actually lived so far away. It was really not easy for her to come to see him. She had to cross half of the marquis' mansion.
If I were as delicate as Ye Shuang, my feet would have been blistered after walking such a long distance.
As he approached, Ye Yunchu was the first to smell an unpleasant smell of urine, coming from the chamber pots piled up nearby. This was winter, and he couldn't imagine how smelly it would be in summer.
Ye Yunchu was still thinking, since Li Runrun had to pass through places like this frequently, it was no wonder that she always had a light ointment on her body, sometimes it smelled like mugwort, sometimes it smelled like chrysanthemum, both of them smelled good.
But he didn't expect Haitang to stop at a place with a broken wooden door, bowed and greeted him: "My lord, the concubine lives here."
Ye Yunchu's face immediately turned as dark as ink: "What?"
He thought he hadn't heard clearly, and couldn't believe that his little concubine, who was as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water, actually came from such a place that was like a muddy and stinking puddle.
Shaoyao felt the pressure and didn't dare to stand up. She just said, "It's here."
The lowly servant who lived next door heard the commotion and opened the door to take a look, but he could not see clearly in the darkness.
He narrowed his cloudy old eyes and asked the people who had come out to watch the fun, "Who is this?"
"I don't know. He seems like a noble person we can't afford to offend."
"You must be joking. How could such a noble man come to a place like ours?"
Some people even wanted to get closer to take a look.
An Ba immediately went up to him and scolded him: "The person coming here is the prince, you are not allowed to come forward."
"Oh, my Lord."
"The criminal slave had no intention of offending the prince!"
"Please forgive me, my Lord."
"My Lord, please forgive me."
The lower-ranking servants knelt on the ground, trembling.
Ye Yunchu just said coldly: "Li Ruanruan, it's me, come out."
No one answered.
Ye Yunchu suppressed his anger and said, "Can't you ask me to come in and invite you?"
The lower-ranking servants who knelt on the ground looked at each other in bewilderment. However, one of them, who was on good terms with Li Da, said, "Li Mutou fell off a cliff and died. Li Da went to collect the body, and Li Ruanruan hasn't come back yet. I don't know where to find a solution."
Ye Yunchu gave An Ba a look and he immediately understood what was going on. He then hurried to ask what was going on.
Haitang had raised the lantern and shone it on the pitiful rusty little lock on the upper door. No wonder she hadn't seen it before. The chain was so thin and the lock was so small that it was easy to overlook it at night.
But it also shows how difficult life is for the people living here.
Ye Yunchu was filled with nameless anger and shouted at the people around him: "Go open the door!"
An Qi immediately stepped forward and lightly tapped the lock with the hilt of his sword, without even using any force, and the lock fell to the ground.
