C10 Marry Li Changle
"I have never used fine silk." Ye Yuning looked at the cloth in her hand, "All the clothes I use are made of purple clouds and other silk. The Ye Residence is a big family in the Zhe Province, and I am the legitimate daughter of the Ye Residence! Not to mention the silk and cloth that the Yizhou Yi Zu family gave me, I have never used fine silk, and the people around me have never used it either! " As she spoke, she pulled the blue white jade cloth on her arm and looked at Ye Yujiao, "And my cloth has never left me, how could I give it to you?"
The fine water gauze in Ye Yujiao's hand was left behind when Ye Yujiao stole it from the silk cloth that the Yi Zu gave her. She didn't use it at that time, but now, it was back in Ye Yujiao's hands.
However, even if Ye Yujiao recognized it now, how could she dare to say it?
"In my Ye Family, the fine water gauze is used by the illegitimate sons and daughters. In your family, it should be the same, right?" Lady Wen asked everyone present. Looking at Ye Yujiao's uncertain expression, she pulled Ye Yuning to her side to prevent Ye Yuning from being attacked again.
"Shui Shui Ma is only used by the illegitimate sons and daughters, and it's impossible to give it to the sons and daughters."
"It is used by the legitimate daughter? How is that possible?"
"In the big families, fine water gauze is used by the legitimate sons and daughters, unless it is used by the concubine to destroy the wife."
The voices of agreement from everyone made Ye Yujiao unable to bear it any longer. Looking at the blue white flowery cloth in her hand, her body went limp and she fainted.
"At this point, in my opinion, we can only let Master Li marry the eighth Miss Ye." Lady Lu's right hand was pointing at the wrist bone in her left hand as she suggested, "If you are unwilling, then I will have to let the government judge this matter."
The moment Li Changle knew that he had recognized the wrong person, he knew that he could only be at the disadvantage in this matter. He had wanted to leave a long time ago, but now that he heard such a suggestion, not only would he not lose any money, but he would also gain a young and cute wife. It was a good suggestion, and without even thinking about it, Li Changle immediately agreed.
"First Wife Ye?" Lady Lu did not ask about Concubine Qiao. Even if she knew that the Ye Residence was not the family of Lady Wen, Lady Lu was still a lady. No matter how much she was doted on, she was still an aunt. She could not speak in a high position.
"Then, please bring the betrothal gifts to the Ye Residence as soon as possible and tell Ye Yujiao to get married." Lady Wen looked at Li Changle with a smile, completely ignoring the concubine Qiao.
There was no reason for the mother and daughter to have ideas about Ye Yuning. She still had to help the outsider to cut her daughter's heart.
As for how the concubine Qiao would explain it to the old mistress when she went back, she naturally had a way to deal with it.
Seeing the way the concubine Qiao looked at her mother, from begging to hatred, Ye Yuning leaned closer to her mother. There was no trace of pity in her eyes.
In her previous life, when her mother was led to the backyard by Ye Yujiao and accidentally injured Li Changle, she also protected her without caring about the others' gazes. However, the concubine Qiao who was with her, ridiculed her mother, and the situation became more and more terrifying.
Even though she still felt that it was not good to return the favor with the eyes and teeth, she did not want to repay the grievance with the virtue. She wanted to protect her current peace and quiet.
...
With such a thing happening at the Flower Banquet, it was much more exciting than a battle of flowers. However, the matter had overshadowed the main topic, causing the battle of flowers to lose its luster. Lady Lu decided to invite everyone to return to their homes and clean up the residence.
Li Changle, the concubine Qiao, and Ye Yujiao had lost all their face today. As soon as the matter was settled, the three of them immediately left the Lu Residence and got on the carriage to leave.
Lady Wen did not stop them. This matter was not her and Ye Yujiao's fault. It would be fine if the concubine Qiao went back.
When she was about to leave, Ye Yuning saw the handsome man who had helped her when she was attacked by Ye Yujiao.
He and Jiang Guqi stood in front of the carriage of the Jiang Family and laughed loudly as if they were talking about something.
Ye Yuning stared at Lady Wen for a long time. After obtaining her consent, she walked in front of the two of them and slightly bowed, "Thank you for what you did today."
"You two?" The man raised his eyebrows, "It's fine if you thank me, but why do you thank Jiang Guqi?"
"Because I know Third Miss Ye." As he spoke, Jiang Guqi stretched out a hand and looked at it from front to back. Finally, he flipped it in front of him and took it back, "This is a method of agreement that I learned from the private school in the Cloud State. I was eight years old then, and was older than Third Miss Ye, but she was fierce and often brought a group of children to run around. I was one of them."
After a pause, Jiang Guqi looked at Ye Yuning, who remained calm, and said, "Later on, I..."
Pausing for a moment, Jiang Guqi looked at Ye Yuning, who was still calm, and said, "Later on, when we went out to play, we got lost in the mountains. We all felt that we would be eaten by wild wolves. At that time, she said that if we survived, then if we met with any urgent matters in the future, as long as one of us did this, it would mean that we had a favor to ask the other party. Thinking about the friendship we had in the past, we had to help no matter what."
"I didn't expect that Jiang Guqi was the Gu Qi of that year." Ye Yuning smiled bitterly, "If it wasn't for the fact that Eighth Sister was staring at you blankly, I would have definitely thought that Jiang Guqi was someone else."
At that time, she saw Jiang Guqi and recognized him as the Gu Qi who was the highest among the group of wild children when they were studying in the Cloud State. She didn't dare to be sure, but after she finished everything, she saw Jiang Guqi heading towards the flower room, and she was truly sure that Jiang Guqi was Gu Qi.
"I thought you were going to tease her, but I didn't know that it would turn out like this." When Jiang Guqi heard Ye Yujiao's words, his eyes suddenly filled with disgust, "You knew that Li Changle would do that long ago?"
Ye Yuning shook her head, "But if I hadn't carefully thought about it and made a countermeasure, today's matter would have happened to me."
"It's fortunate that you reacted in time today, otherwise I would have taken the head of that Li King!" The man thought of Ye Yuning in front of him and felt disgusted.
"You were thrown out of the carriage by Prime Minister Shen. Now, you have nothing but a pile of silver notes. Don't even try to talk big. Otherwise, if Wei Bo hears you, he will tell the old lady in Chang’an that you are going to be whipped!" Jiang Guqi smiled helplessly. "This brat is Prime Minister Shen's young master, Shen Yunxing. He is good at eating, drinking, and playing. He is a bully. You have to stay away from him."
Ye Yuning nodded with a frown.
Shen Yunxing saw that Ye Yuning had really listened to Jiang Guqi's words and looked at him in surprise. He said, "You must be a man with a broken sleeve! It was not easy for me to see a beauty like you. You blocked me like this. Tell me, do you like me?"
As she watched the two of them fight, Ye Yuning's thoughts started to surface in her mind.
Of course, she recognized Shen Yunxing. He was the number one young master in Chang’an. He was talented and eccentric. When she first met him in his previous life, he said that Fu Ranzhi did not love her and did not use her. She gave him a slap when he told her to leave Fu Ranzhi.
It was the first time someone had told her the truth. However, she had chosen to deny it and missed the only chance she had to escape Fu Ranzhi.
