Chapter 111 Jealous
The Marquis's wife grabbed Ye Shuang's ear and said, "Why do you still want to provoke your brother? He hasn't taught you a lesson enough."
Ye Shuang thought about the previous times and felt a little scared.
Then she leaned on the Marquis's shoulder and complained again: "Whose brother is like him, treating me, his own sister, so cruelly. Other brothers and sisters are so good to each other, but we seem to be enemies."
"You're just too fond of stirring up trouble. Just tell me how many messes your brother has cleaned up for you. Your brother may be cold-tempered, but he's still your brother. Even if we're on the same page, we can still have each other. Just wait and see. You don't have to ask for it. When you get married, I'll give you a place in the Su embroidery shop."
Ye Shuang snorted: "Of course, he is my brother after all."
Madam Hou pinched Ye Shuang's little face and said, "Two little enemies."
Only then did Ye Shuang happily bid farewell to the Marquis' wife and leave.
She refused even when the Marquis's wife wanted to invite her to dinner.
Looking at Ye Shuang's leaving back, Madam Hou shook her head, wondering how she could give birth to two children with such different personalities.
If Shuang'er was like Ye Yunchu, she would have to worry less.
However, I have to find time to discuss the dowry issue with the Marquis and Yun'er, and let Su Xiu open a branch shop as soon as possible. It will also be Ye Shuang's money bag in the future.
As a mother, how can you not think about your children?
The Marquis’s wife was planning.
Ye Qiaoqiao sent Li Ruanruan back to the East Courtyard.
Seeing that she was still holding the red plum blossom in full bloom, he snatched it away and threw it aside: "Why are you still holding this? It's unlucky."
I thought it was lost, but I didn't expect Li Runrun to squat down and pick up the red plum that was thrown on the ground.
"This is a gift from Miss Xu to the prince. You have to take it back to the prince."
"You really helped her deliver it."
"Why don't you help her send it? It will also let the prince know that Miss Xu is still thinking about him. Thinking of him will also make him happy."
Li Ruanruan looked serious.
Ye Qiaoqiao seemed to think for a moment before she said, "Are you using this plum blossom to complain to Big Brother?"
Li Ruanruan didn't say anything.
Ye Qiaoqiao took her arm and said, "Let big brother know that you are jealous."
Li Runrun didn't say anything, but she was indeed unhappy.
It's not that I'm complaining or jealous, I just want to use it as a warning to myself.
Ye Qiaoqiao smiled again: "I learned it."
Then he asked, "How did you slip just now? I thought you were about to fall into the water. If you fall into the water in winter, and you are weak, you will definitely get sick."
Li Ruanruan looked at the plum blossom in her hand. She took a deep breath of the cold air and said, "I think Xu Wan thought the same thing. That's why she asked her maid to follow me and push me into the water."
"It was her maid who pushed you? Pah, she pretends to be so cool and elegant, but she's actually such a ruthless person, asking a maid to do such a dirty thing."
Ye Qiaoqiao then comforted Li Ruanruan: "This just proves that she is afraid of you. It proves that Ruanruan is outstanding and she is afraid of you."
"It seems that she can't tolerate me. If she comes home one day, I'm afraid my life will be difficult."
"Why not? Can she still ride on my big brother's head? Since she can't tolerate you anymore, just fight her."
Seeing that Li Ruanruan didn't say anything, Ye Qiaoqiao said again: "Ruanruan, think about this, isn't it? You've been so good-tempered these past few times, repeatedly giving in. Do you think she'll let you go?"
Li Runrun took two steps and had to harden her heart. Ye Qiaoqiao was right and she listened to her words.
"Since it's decided that it's her, this is the only way. Either she steps back and everyone lives in peace, or I die."
Although Xu Wan has a powerful backer and a good status, there is still a truth to the saying that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes.
As long as she arranges things for her father and brother so that no one can bully them, as long as her brother can marry someone and live a good life, and her father can enjoy his old age.
What is she afraid of?
It would be best if she could fight her way out of the battle. If she lost, she would be free.
Ye Qiaoqiao raised her voice: "Why should she die? If anyone has to die, it should be Xu Wan."
Li Ruanruan quickly covered her mouth.
Ye Qiaoqiao finally reacted and looked around.
He was sure that there were no servants from the Marquis's Mansion working nearby. Fortunately, it was winter and the servants did not come out.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Ruanruan whispered: "I thought it's better to be careful outside, because walls have ears."
Li Ruanruan nodded repeatedly, then lowered her voice and said, "If we really want to die, we can set fire to the Marquis' Mansion and die together."
Li Runrun's eyes turned red. Only those who had been oppressed for a long time knew what it felt like and how difficult it was to resist. However, if they did not resist, there would be no way to survive.
The suffocating feeling of being forced into a desperate situation and having to give it a try.
People who live a happy life will never understand it in their lifetime.
Only they understand that they are kittens who rely on each other for warmth in winter. If they are annoyed, they also have sharp claws.
Li Bai and Cui'er also came over, and the four of them held hands together.
They are grasshoppers on the same rope.
The weather is cold and gloomy again, as if it will rain at any time.
Li Runrun didn't let Ye Qiaoqiao send her off, fearing that it would rain on the way and she would get wet.
When she returned to the East Courtyard, Li's soft feet had already become numb from the cold and were so painful that they felt like they were frozen.
Her hands and feet were already cold in the winter, and after walking such a long distance, her feet were only in pain and hadn't warmed up at all.
Afraid of frostbite, Li Bai brought some hot water, but the pears were soft and not soaked.
She rubbed her toes slowly with her hands to warm them up. Sure enough, her toes were frozen, red and swollen, itchy and painful. She had had frostbite before and was more susceptible to it than others.
It's funny that I got frostbite before it even snowed.
Li Ruanruan waited until her feet were warm before she dared to soak in the hot water. She felt comfortable only when her whole body was warm.
She sat by the stove. In the past, she didn't feel anything even though it was very cold when working in winter. But now, she felt that she couldn't leave the warm stove. She just wanted to hold it and not go anywhere in winter.
Li Ruanruan ordered Li Bai: "Go and call a servant over."
After a while, the servant stood outside the door with his head bowed, but did not go in to avoid suspicion.
Li Ruanruan ordered him, "Go to where the lower servants live and call the maid named Honghua."
Li Ruanruan gave her a look.
Li Bai walked out and gave the servant a hundred coins.
Li Ruanruan said, "It's cold in winter, it's hard for you to make such a trip. You should buy some wine to warm yourself up."
The servant was extremely happy and bowed hurriedly, saying, "Thank you, Tongfang. I will go right away."
The servant left.
Li Ruanruan picked up the red plum blossom and called Haitang over: "Find a good vase, put the flower in it, and put it in the prince's room."
Haitang took it and said, "Did the concubine fold it for the prince? It looks pretty good."
"No, Miss Xu asked me to give it to the prince."
Haitang sensed a hint of sourness in the tone and didn't dare to delay. She followed Liruanruan's instructions, found a vase that the prince would like, and placed it by the window.
The prince will definitely be able to see it at a glance, so Li Runrun’s efforts will be worth it.
