Chapter 81 Soft is right
As soon as Ye Yunchu opened the door, Ye Shuang said, "Brother, you're finally here. That little concubine was so bold that she deliberately burned Sister Wanwan."
Someone also spoke up: "Wanwan is a very good pipa player. What will happen if she gets a scar on her hand?"
"This little concubine of the Crown Prince has such a vicious mind."
"Lai Huan Hanzi deliberately approached Wan Wan and even poured tea on her to burn her. She's so jealous and vicious. With a concubine like this in the backyard, who would dare to marry into the Marquis's mansion?"
"The prince must punish that concubine and give Wanwan an explanation."
Before Ye Yunchu could speak, Ye Shuang said, "Don't worry, ladies. My brother will punish this concubine severely and avenge Wanwan's anger."
Xu Wan covered the burned area with a handkerchief. She came over and greeted him, "Prince Ye."
Only then did the people around greet him.
Ye Yunchu also returned the greeting. He looked past Xu Wan and looked at Li Ruanruan, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling. He frowned and said, "Why don't you come over and apologize to Miss Xu."
Li Runrun did not argue that she was not wrong. In this feudal society, power, hierarchy and status were the biggest right and wrong.
Who would care about the life or death of a lowly concubine like her? It would only take a word to kill her.
Li Ruanruan endured the pain in her back. She knelt beside Ye Yunchu and kowtowed to Xu Wan: "Apologize to Miss Xu."
Ye Yunchu looked at Xu Wan: "Miss Xu, how do you want to punish me?"
Xu Wan smiled very gently, and then said, "I think she was too nervous, and it wasn't intentional. I think she accidentally got burned in her panic. My Lord, you should take her back to have a checkup. Women's skin is delicate, and it would be bad if she got a scar."
There are also dissatisfied voices on the side:
"Wanwan, you are just too kind-hearted."
"Wanwan, you can't let her go like this."
Ye Yunchu glanced over there, and this glance was so intimidating that they immediately dared not say a word.
Ye Yunchu kicked Li Ruanruan with his foot. He looked so cold and indifferent, but in fact, he didn't use any strength at all: "Bitch, why don't you thank Miss Xu?"
Li Ruanruan crawled even lower, apologizing in a more humble manner: "Thank you, Miss Xu, for your kindness."
Ye Yunchu said, "Get out."
Li Runrun ran out in a hurry, tears welling up in her eyes.
She knew that she was born in a humble family, but she was extremely sad today. The pain in her heart and the piercing burning pain on her back made her feel like she was dying.
Ye Qiaoqiao was waiting outside the door and supported Li Ruanruan, who was pale and covered in cold sweat.
Her voice became hoarse, and her eyes turned red: "Ruanruan, I know it's not your fault."
I hope big brother also understands that Li Runrun has always been cautious and treads on thin ice. How could she possibly use tea to scald Xu Wan, let alone in such an occasion, unless she doesn't want to live.
This was simply Xu Wan's trick. If a little concubine like her could see through it, how could her elder brother not see through it?
Ye Qiaoqiao bit her lip, not caring about Gu Yuanqing beside her at this moment. She supported the trembling Li Ruanruan and hurriedly got on their own carriage, and ordered Li Bai and Cui'er who were waiting anxiously: "Let's go back to the Marquis' Mansion, hurry up."
The doctor quickly came over with a medicine box and observed the red mark on Xu Wan's hand. In fact, it was just a red mark, without even a blister.
I took out the best burn ointment.
Because Ye Yunchu was staring at her from the side, Xu Wan looked very embarrassed, and her eyes were always fixed on the very noble man next to her.
"Don't touch water for three days, and don't expose yourself to the sun until the wound heals. It's best to wrap it in a handkerchief."
The doctor gave some instructions, and when he left, Ye Yunchu gave him some silver: "No need to change."
The doctor left with a smile on his face.
Xu Wan stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back too."
"I send you."
Ye Yunchu made a gesture to invite him in, and Xu Wan followed Ye Yunchu with a blushing face. Behind them, a group of daughters from wealthy families, led by Ye Shuang, were watching this scene.
Those who get along well with Xu Wan all have happy smiles on their faces, while some are just superficially friends with her, smiling on the surface but actually full of jealousy in their hearts.
When they were really blind, they couldn't see Xu Wan's clumsy tricks.
Ye Yunchu sent Xu Wan to the Xu Mansion's luxurious carriage before saying, "I have some excellent scar removal medicine. I'll have someone send it to you later."
Xu Wan blushed again: "Thank you, Master."
"Um."
Ye Yunchu stood there coldly and aloofly, which made Xu Wan's heart beat fast.
Xu Wan got on the carriage and anxiously opened the curtains. Ye Yunchu looked at her.
Xu Wan lowered her eyes and smiled again before saying, "I think the concubine was an accident. My sisters are making a fuss out of nothing. The prince shouldn't be too harsh on me."
These words fully demonstrate her demeanor as a lady from a noble family. She is so sensible and considerate, like a gentle and eloquent flower. Coupled with her stunning appearance, which man in the world would not be moved by her?
Ye Yunchu also chuckled and then nodded.
Xu Wan lowered the carriage curtain and heard Ye Yunchu's voice instructing the coachman: "The roads are slippery in the snow, so drive slowly when you take the young lady back."
"Okay, don't worry, my lord."
The coachman led the horse and the carriage started slowly. Xu Wan sat in the carriage but did not lift the curtain again.
This is called decency.
A group of rich daughters from wealthy families who were watching the fun upstairs covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and talked in low voices.
Gu Yuanqing walked up to Ye Yunchu and said with a smile, "Look! Everyone's gone. Have you lost your soul?"
Ye Yunchu had just returned on horseback from the farm outside the city. He now mounted his horse and looked down at Gu Yuanqing.
Just as they were about to leave, Gu Yuanqing reined in the reins again: "Don't forget the old one just because you have a new one. Your little concubine was really pitiful today. Ten thousand taels of silver were taken away by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I'm already feeling wronged, and now this has happened. I can't bear to see you punish me when I go back."
Gu Yuanqing waved his folding fan and said, "If you have married a wife and don't want her anymore, release her as a good wife and ask her if she is willing to help me manage the shop..."
Before he could finish his words, Ye Yunchu suddenly shouted.
The white horse rushed forward, and Gu Yuanqing was too slow to let go, so he fell to the ground and lay sprawled.
Now there were a lot of crisp laughter coming from upstairs.
Gu Yuanqing hurriedly got up, patted his body without caring about the pain, turned around and waved a folding fan gracefully, looked up and looked at the young ladies from the noble families upstairs with a smile.
Ye Shuang laughed the most heartily and asked, "Mr. Gu, does it hurt from the fall?"
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all, haha."
Gu Yuanqing left in great embarrassment.
The young ladies from the aristocratic families burst into laughter again. Ye Shuang stared at Gu Yuanqing's elegant back and laughed along with them, but secretly clenched the handkerchief in her hand.
