Chapter 1112: The Tenderness of Prince Xiao (Twenty-four)
"He's out, he's out, Master, the young prince is out."
"Keep your voice down. I'm not blind. Hurry up and bring me my reading glasses."
At the corner of the street opposite Wang's residence, in a luxurious carriage, Prince Ping put on his glasses swiftly, and then looked closely at Xiao Moxi and Ye Yueying in front of the gate of Wang's residence.
As soon as Xiao Moxi went out today, the old prince followed Huai Enzhui behind and followed all the way to Wang's house.
"Master, the girl next to the young prince must be Miss Ye! You know what, she is just like what Master Wu said, slender but not weak, with a temperament like orchid."
Prince Ping also had a look of satisfaction on his face: "She is indeed a girl like a jackdaw and spring snow. My grandson is not a blind man after all."
Across the street, because the Wang family's temporary residence was very small and had no back garden or anything, Ye Yueying couldn't bring Xiao Moxi to Old Madam Wang's yard. She was also worried that the Wang family would come and pester them, so she had to take everyone out.
Wang's house is very secluded, and there are almost no people in the streets and alleys.
Ye Yueying recalled the scene in the living room. Thinking of the Wang family's apologetic and flattering faces, she felt very embarrassed. While considering how to start the conversation, she walked unconsciously in the alley.
Seeing Ye Yueying lowering her eyes and remaining silent, Xiao Moxi asked tentatively, "Are you angry?"
Ye Yueying came back to her senses and looked at Xiao Moxi: "My uncle's family, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Hearing this, Xiao Moxi felt relieved. As long as he didn't make her angry, that was good!
"It's okay." Having grown up in the palace, what kind of people has he not seen since he was a child?
Seeing that he was still so easy to talk to, Ye Yueying felt helpless and could only make her words clearer: "For people like my uncle's family, you can't be too polite to them. What they are best at is climbing up the ladder."
Having said that, he paused.
"Don't come here in the future, lest they plot against you."
Xiao Moxi was silent for a moment, then stepped forward to stop Ye Yueying and looked directly at her: "Don't you want to see me?"
As soon as these words came out, Ye Yueying's heart suddenly began to beat like a deer. She avoided looking back at Xiao Moxi, turned sideways, and continued to walk forward: "I just don't want you to be used."
Hearing this, Xiao Moxi smiled confidently: "So this is what you are worried about, then you can put your heart back in your stomach, I am not someone your uncle's family can use."
Ye Yueying was silent for a moment, thinking of the two girls from the Wang family. She knew these two sisters quite well. The eldest girl Wang could do such a thing as openly kidnapping the bride, which showed that she had no sense of shame.
The second Miss Wang is even more cunning. Now that Xiao Moxi is such a popular girl, who knows what the two sisters will do?
Even though Xiao Moxi was not afraid, it was still annoying to be stared at by a fly!
"It's better to avoid it. The mansion is small and there's no strict distinction between the front and back yards. I have two cousins at home, so it's always a little inconvenient."
Xiao Moxi thought about the Wang family's mother and daughter openly appearing in the living room before, and she strongly disagreed with the Wang family's family education. "It is indeed quite inconvenient. Okay, since you say so, I won't come here in the future."
Seeing Xiao Moxi's straightforward response, Ye Yueying felt a little complicated again.
Intellectually, she really didn't want Xiao Moxi to come, not only because of the Wang family, but also because of herself. She knew that there was no possibility between them, and she was worried that if she saw him too many times, she would sink into it and be unable to extricate herself.
But emotionally, I am looking forward to his coming.
At this moment, she was really conflicted and her mind was in a mess.
Xiao Moxi noticed Ye Yueying's conflicted look. He knew that she lacked a sense of security since she had lived under someone else's roof since she was a child, and she was also full of concerns about the disparity in their status. After thinking for a moment, he took off the Qilin jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Ye Yueying:
"This jade pendant was given to me by my grandfather when I was born. Now I want to give it to you!"
Ye Yueying looked at the jade pendant, then at Xiao Moxi, looking a little dazed.
The jade pendant given by the emperor must have special meaning. Did Xiao Moxi know what it meant when she gave it to him? Did he know what she would think?
Xiao Moxi held the jade pendant, and although he looked a little embarrassed, he looked at Ye Yueying with a firm gaze.
On the opposite carriage, Huai En was very excited: "Master, the young prince has sent a token of love. Our trip here is really not in vain. When the prince, princess, and the young duke return to the capital, we can tell them."
Prince Ping smiled and nodded, but when he saw that Ye Yueying hadn't accepted the jade pendant for a long time, he asked anxiously, "Why doesn't Miss Ye accept the jade pendant? What's the matter? Do you still look down on my grandson?"
Ye Yueying felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat. She looked at the jade pendant, wanting to take it but not daring to.
At this moment, the door of Wang's house opened, and Wu Yutang was sent out with a sour face by the Wang father and son.
Seeing the few people, Ye Yueying realized that Xiao Moxi had no intention of taking it back, so she could only quickly take the jade pendant and hide it in her sleeve.
"snort!"
Wu Yutang snorted heavily and glanced at Xiao Moxi and Ye Yueying: "Oh, the little prince hasn't left yet, I thought you had flown to the horizon."
Xiao Moxi, who had given the jade pendant, was in a good mood at the moment. He didn't care about Wu Yutang's sarcasm and looked at Ye Yueying: "It's time to go. You can go back."
After seeing off Xiao Moxi and Wu Yutang, Ye Yueying followed the Wang father and son into the gate.
As soon as the door closed, Master Wang couldn't wait to accuse Ye Yueying: "Yueying, what happened to you just now? Young Prince Xiao finally came to our house, and you took him away before he even had a sip of tea. How can you do things like this?"
Madam Wang, who was also waiting at the gate with her two daughters, immediately echoed, "That's right, Yueying. We raised you after all. Now that you've married into a wealthy family, you should give us something back."
Ye Yueying ignored Madam Wang's harsh words and looked at Master Wang instead: "Uncle, it's best to rely on your own abilities when doing things. That's the only way to last. Don't you think that's true?"
Master Wang frowned: "What do you mean?"
Ye Yueying said calmly, "I don't mean anything, but Lord Xiao is the benefactor of my Ye family, and I don't allow you to have any ideas about him."
Miss Wang Er immediately sneered: "Ye Yueying, who do you think you are? You say no, so what?"
Ye Yueying glanced at Miss Wang Er, and made her hide behind Madam Wang. Then she looked coldly at Master Wang Da: "Uncle, you don't want me to say anything bad when the Crown Prince summons you, right?"
Master Wang pointed at Ye Yueying with a sullen expression: "Are you threatening me?"
Ye Yueying shook her head: "I acknowledge the Wang family's kindness in taking me in. You can squander the Ye family's wealth, but you must not use the name of Prince Xiao to gain power."
After saying that, he didn't care about this family and went straight back to Madam Wang's yard.
"You're rebelling, Master. I've already told you this: this girl is an ungrateful bastard. I want to send her away, but you insisted on stopping me."
Mr. Wang glared at his wife angrily, and at the same time felt a little regretful.
He had always held a grudge against his brother-in-law because he had not helped him get the position of prefect of Youzhou. So when the Ye family got into trouble and his niece went to the Wang family, he simply chose to turn a blind eye and watched coldly as his wife suppressed his niece.
If they had treated their niece well, she would not be as distant from them as she is now.
Mrs. Wang returned to the house with her two daughters, looking gloomy.
Thinking of the handsome appearance and outstanding family background of the young prince Xiao, the jealousy of Miss Wang Da and Miss Wang Er towards Ye Yueying grew more and more intense, so that the two sisters' faces were distorted with anger.
