Chapter 89 Staying Out All Night
After giving some instructions, Granny Sun hurried back to the cloth shop.
Ye Wanning had only rested in the room for a while when she saw Cui'er come in with a frown. She was taken aback and looked at Cui'er with some confusion. "Cui'er, why are you back so early?" Have you finished taking care of things in the pavilion?
“No…” Cui’er looked at Ye Wanning, as if she wanted to say something, but dared not speak.
"What's wrong?" Ye Wanning frowned. "Just tell me what's wrong!"
“It’s just that…” Cui’er licked her lips, glanced at Ye Wanning secretly, paused for a moment, and said somewhat awkwardly, “Just now, as soon as you left, the Prince came back…”
Ye Wanning felt a sudden pause in her heart. After a long while, she looked at Cui'er and asked through gritted teeth, "You mean, Your Highness, release them?"
Cui'er paused, looking at Ye Wanning with a worried expression. After a long while, she hesitantly nodded, "Yes..."
"He's really gone too far!" Ye Wanning exclaimed angrily, then looked at Cui'er, "What did the Prince say?"
"His Highness said..." Cui'er bit her lip, looking at Ye Wanning with some fear, "His Highness said... these beauties are delicate, so it's best to stop when you're done with them..."
"And then?" Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow, looking at Cui'er with a dangerous glint in her eyes. "What else did he say?"
"His Highness also said..." Cui'er swallowed hard, looking at Ye Wanning, "His Highness said... he'll take the person away first, and if the Princess Consort blames him later, she can go find him..."
"Smash!" Ye Wanning felt a surge of anger and swept the cup next to her away.
"Sister!" Cui'er was startled and quickly stopped Ye Wanning's actions. "You mustn't do this. People will laugh at you if they see us!"
"Am I afraid of being laughed at? That Su Wenzhen... he... he! He!" Ye Wanning was so angry she couldn't find the right words. She sat down angrily to the side. "Now look what's happened! I've become that ignorant Princess Jin, with a vicious heart, while he, this so-called prince, can reap the benefits, save those women, and live a life of debauchery in the arms of women, won't he!"
“Sister…” Cui’er looked at Ye Wanning with a worried expression. She really didn’t know what to say. She gritted her teeth and said, somewhat hesitantly, “Sister, perhaps the prince has some kind of plan…”
"What plan!" Ye Wanning roared, "What kind of bullshit plan is this! Men are all like this, always wanting more! With so many women on his side, he might just get caught in a trap and drown!"
Cui'er was stunned by Ye Wanning's words. After a long while, she stared at Ye Wanning, speechless, "Sister...then you..."
"No!" Ye Wanning suddenly stood up and slammed her hand on the table. "He's disloyal to me, and we can't stay in this palace any longer." She then looked at Cui'er, "Cui'er, hurry and pack your things!"
"Huh?" Cui'er was taken aback, looking at Ye Wanning with a somewhat blank expression. "Sister, why are you packing your things?"
"What else can I do?" Ye Wanning said angrily, "I'm running away from home!"
Inside Duyang City, Ye Wanning waved her fan, her face full of anger, completely ignoring Cui'er behind her, and strode forward.
Cui'er's face flushed red as she chased after him. Unable to hold back any longer, she shouted, "Cousin! Cousin, wait for me!"
Upon hearing the sound, Ye Wanning turned around, gave Cui'er a ghostly smile, then turned her head away as if she hadn't seen Cui'er, and strode forward.
Watching Ye Wanning's retreating figure, Cui'er sighed helplessly. Her young mistress really loved to throw tantrums!
Ye Wanning strode forward, feeling a surge of anger. She had just told Cui'er she was going to run away from home, but at the last minute, that girl had betrayed her! Just thinking about it made Ye Wanning's teeth itch with rage. Whose side was this anyway?! It hadn't been long before she was siding with Su Wenzhen, even saying that if she really ran away, she wouldn't help her pack her bags and would immediately tell that bastard Su Wenzhen. Ye Wanning thought to herself, "What an ingrate!"
“Cousin…” Seeing Ye Wanning suddenly stop, Cui’er quickly followed. Upon reaching them, she realized they were standing at the entrance of Yichun Courtyard. Cui’er was taken aback; she hadn’t heard that her young mistress was coming to discuss business in the past few days. She looked at Ye Wanning suspiciously, “Sister, what’s going on…”
Ye Wanning turned her head, glanced at Cui'er, and without saying a word, walked inside, "Looking for some fun!"
"What!" Cui'er exclaimed in surprise, looking at Ye Wanning's back with disbelief. What kind of fun would a woman come here for?
"Oh my! Isn't this Young Master Ye!" As soon as Ye Wanning entered the courtyard, she saw the madam. Upon seeing Ye Wanning, the madam immediately put on a bright smile. "Young Master Ye, what brings you here today?"
Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow, fanning herself, her voice unusually seductive. She looked at the madam and asked, "Is it inappropriate for you to still call me Young Master Ye, Madam?"
"Yes, yes, yes." The madam smiled, looking at Ye Wanning with a fawning expression. "That day, our master did tell us that this Yichun Courtyard would belong to Young Master Ye from now on..." Before she could finish speaking, the madam slapped herself in the face. "Pah! Pah! Pah! It should be our master!"
"Alright, alright." Ye Wanning shook her head with a smile. "Please don't call me 'master' anymore. I was just joking. Although your master gave me this courtyard, I, Ye Ning, am not one to take things for nothing. The owner of this courtyard is still your master. As for me," Ye Wanning smiled mysteriously, "I'll just be the shopkeeper!"
Upon hearing this, the madam was taken aback, looking at Ye Wanning with some confusion, "What do you mean by that, Young Master Ye? What do you mean by 'boss'?"
"Well..." Ye Wanning looked at the madam and smiled meaningfully, "...similar to your status."
Upon hearing this, the madam's face turned pale instantly, and she stammered, "Young Master Ye... what do you mean... could it be that you intend to kick me out of this courtyard?"
"Mom, you're exaggerating!" Ye Wanning smiled and put her arm around the madam's shoulder. "As the manager, my role is to devise strategies, and you are the executor. Our goal is to maximize the profits of this brothel, isn't it?"
The madam looked at Ye Wanning with a puzzled expression, and after a long while, she finally asked, "So, what brings Young Master Ye here today...?"
Ye Wanning withdrew her hand and looked at the madam with a serious expression. "I'll have to trouble you, Madam, to prepare a clean room for me, preferably one that's relatively secluded." She looked around. "No one will disturb me." Ye Wanning paused. "I'll be staying here for the next few days."
The madam was quite efficient; in less than half an incense stick's time, she had everything arranged for Ye Wanning. Ye Wanning went up to the attic and sat comfortably on a chair. Although the room wasn't large, it had everything she needed and was a cozy little place to live.
"What does Young Master Ye think?" The madam stood respectfully to the side, bowing her head as she asked.
"It's quite nice." Ye Wanning looked around. The room was unusually quiet, with no sound of noise from downstairs. "I didn't expect that Yichun Courtyard would have a place like this."
“This was originally where my master rested.” The madam smiled. “But my master said he was giving this Yichun Courtyard to you, so he cleaned up everything in this room, saying that he was afraid you might need to come and stay there in the future.”
Ye Wanning was taken aback. So Liu Xuan had guessed all of this? She smacked her lips twice. "Alright, it's nothing. You can go now."
"yes."
The madam had barely stepped out of the room when Cui'er looked at Ye Wanning with a mournful expression, "Sister, what's wrong with you...?"
"Call me cousin," Ye Wanning said calmly, pouring herself a cup of tea, her face expressionless. "Why don't you ever learn? What if someone overheard you?"
“I…” Cui’er shook her head helplessly. After a long while, she looked at Ye Wanning, frowned and asked, “Don’t tell me you really want to live here?”
"Why not?" Ye Wanning raised an eyebrow. "Don't you think the environment here is quite nice? It's very quiet, and I like it very much."
"So what if it's quiet!" Cui'er said anxiously. "This is a place of pleasure, and you're a young lady..."
"I'm your cousin now! I'm a man!" Before Cui'er could finish speaking, Ye Wanning glared at her and shouted, "How many times do I have to tell you before you remember?"
“But…” Cui’er pouted, feeling wronged, “This isn’t suitable…”
"What's inappropriate about it?" Ye Wanning squinted, lazily sprawled on the table. "He's allowed to have beautiful women on both sides of his arms, but I'm not allowed to spend the night at the brothel? How naive!"
