Chapter 32 Watching Secretly
Ye Yun went to the Marquis's wife's place early in the morning. When the Marquis's wife got up, she heard the maid who was doing her makeup tell her what happened last night.
I felt a headache coming on: "Go call Shuang'er over, I'll definitely give her a good scolding, she's really being too naughty."
The eldest maidservant was the Marquis's maidservant during her marriage. She was massaging the troubled Marquis's solar plexus and whispered, "The eldest young lady is just joking with the prince. It only makes them look like siblings, that's why they're being so disrespectful."
The Marquis's wife doted on her daughter, and she felt relieved to hear this, but she still said, "She'll make a scene regardless. This is all under the guise of my tacit approval, and I had no idea about it."
"Doesn't that just prove that the young lady is very smart?"
"Humph, they were born from the same mother. How could her brother, who is so brilliant and successful, give birth to such a cunning girl?"
As she was speaking, the nanny came in and reported: "Madam, the prince is here."
The Marquis's wife washed and dressed neatly before going out. "Yun'er, you're free today, so come and have dinner with me. It just so happened that the farm sent us some fresh winter bamboo shoots yesterday, and I had them mixed up cold. They're perfect with porridge. Try them."
The Marquis's wife was very happy to see her son and asked him to sit down.
Ye Yunchu did not start to blame him right away, but sat down and prepared to eat breakfast obediently.
But soon after he sat down, Ye Shuang called her nanny over.
When she saw Ye Yunchu, her heart skipped a beat and she turned around and wanted to leave.
Ye Yunchu said coldly: "Stop."
Ye Shuang froze for a moment, then turned around, looking innocent and harmless, and came over with a smile: "Brother, what a coincidence today, brother and I are here to accompany mother for dinner."
Ye Yunchu said calmly: "Unfortunately, I came here just for your business."
"Why, what for me?"
Ye Shuang stood in front of Ye Yunchu. She didn't look arrogant or domineering, but rather like a quail with its neck tucked in.
Ye Yunchu looked at the porridge and side dishes being served, and then said, "Let's talk after breakfast."
He glanced at Ye Shuang and said, "Sit down."
Full of pressure.
The Marquis' wife was a little afraid of him, and she said with a smile: "You brothers and sisters should get along well with each other. I am happy to have dinner with me."
Ye Yunchu stood up and personally served a bowl of porridge to the Marquis' wife.
The Marquis's wife was immediately overjoyed.
Ye Shuang tried to find something to talk to Ye Yunchu, and also tried to get closer to him.
But Ye Yunchu scolded him: "You are becoming more and more unruly by not talking while eating."
Ye Shuang's eyes turned red with anger. In front of so many servants, her brother didn't even give her any face.
Ye Shuang was so angry that she refused to eat.
Ye Yunchu finished eating and put down his spoon before speaking: "I see you've been too idle lately. You've had the time to go around picking up dancers and prostitutes and send them to my room to annoy me. It seems kneeling in the ancestral hall last time didn't teach you the rules. In that case, go to the manor and reflect on your actions."
"What?"
Ye Shuang looked at Ye Yunchu in disbelief and anger. She was not even worthy of kneeling in the ancestral hall. She was going to be exiled to the farm. Now that the weather was getting colder, how could she endure such hardship?
The Marquis's wife also spoke up: "This is a little inappropriate. Shuang'er, a girl, can't stand the cold weather on the farm."
"She goes out every day to find beauties for me. Isn't she afraid of the cold?"
Ye Yunchu didn't give Ye Shuang a chance to say anything else, and said directly: "These are the three maids I picked for her. When she goes to school in the manor and behaves well, she can come back."
With just a glance from Ye Yunchu, the nanny took the crying Ye Shuang away.
Madam Hou stood up and chased after her. Ye Yunchu said in a serious voice, "Mother."
Madam Hou had to stop and look back at Ye Yunchu: "This Shuang'er has gone too far. I will discipline her. If that doesn't work, I will make her kneel in the ancestral hall for two days..."
Ye Yunchu was completely unmoved and looked at Madam Hou: "Shuang'er has been spoiled by her mother. From what she did, we can see how stupid she is. Compared to Ye Qiaoqiao, she is much worse. If mother doesn't discipline her cruelly, she will harm her. Mother, think about this carefully."
The Marquis's wife sighed and held her forehead. "Alright, then I'll be hard-hearted. I hope Shuang'er will learn her lesson after this."
Then the Marquis's wife looked at Ye Yunchu again, as if she remembered something, and pulled his arm: "You came at the right time, there is something I really want to discuss with you."
"Mother, please speak."
The Marquis's wife waved her hand, and soon someone brought a stack of portraits.
Ye Yunchu’s intuition was not very good.
As expected, the Marquis's wife unfolded the portraits and stopped worrying about Ye Shuang. She smiled happily and said, "Take a look! These are all portraits of daughters of noble families. I have also looked at them for you. Among these daughters, the daughter of the Prime Minister is the most beautiful. I think you will like her..."
The first portrait that the Marquis’ wife unfolded was of the daughter of the Prime Minister.
Ye Yunchu didn't even look at it. He found an excuse and left quickly.
The Marquis's wife stood up with the portrait in her hand and said, "Then I'll send it to you."
Ye Yunchu, who was walking away in a hurry, replied from a distance: "No need."
But the Marquis's wife didn't listen. She rolled up the portrait and handed it to the head maid: "How can we not use it? Send it over and tell him to choose carefully. He is of marriageable age."
The maid carefully took the portrait and said, "Yes."
Li Runrun came out of the kitchen after eating her fill and prepared to go back.
Then she saw Haitang coming back with a scroll. Seeing her curiosity, Haitang said, "Do you want to see it? The portrait of the future Crown Prince's wife is inside."
Li Ruanruan was actually a little curious: "Can I see it?"
Haitang pulled her and said, "Watch secretly. Come, follow me."
Li Runrun trotted after her.
