Chapter 13 The Handsome Young Master
After leaving Jinxiu Pavilion, Ye Qiongying went straight to Bingwu Pavilion.
Compared to the clothing shop, she was obviously more at ease here. She felt like a fish in water as soon as she entered. She quickly selected several weapons and made an appointment with the shopkeeper to send someone to deliver them to the marquis' mansion when the time came.
After leaving the Military Pavilion, Wen Ping asked:
"Master, how about we go to Chunfeng Tower to have a meal before coming back? I heard from the maid in the kitchen that Chunfeng Tower has recently introduced a lot of new dishes, and they taste pretty good!"
"Okay," Ye Qiongying agreed immediately, "Let's go to Chunfeng Tower and have something good to replenish our bodies."
The master and servant happily arrived at Chunfeng Tower. After booking a private room, they were about to go upstairs. Just then, a young man came down from the upstairs and passed by them.
The young master seemed to be in poor health. While walking, he suddenly staggered to the side and almost fell down.
Ye Qiongying was quick-witted and quick-handed. She stretched out her hand and grabbed the other person's arm and pulled it back.
The young man was pulled into Ye Qiongying's arms. He seemed to be extremely frightened. He grabbed her clothes tightly and raised his head timidly.
Under a pair of long eyebrows are a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, with slightly red corners. The watery eyeballs are as bright as morning stars. The face is very small, like the size of a palm, the lips are thin and red, and the skin is fair and delicate. At this moment, he is leaning tenderly in her arms, looking as cute and adorable as a harmless little rabbit.
Ye Qiongying was stunned for a moment, helped the other person stand up straight, took a half step back and asked:
"Are you okay?"
The young man pursed his thin red lips, then bowed to Ye Qiongying and said in a low voice:
"Thank you, sister. Thank you for saving my life."
The voice was also soft and gentle, which made people feel comfortable and want to comfort him.
"It's just a small favor," Ye Qiongying didn't take it seriously. Seeing that the other party was indeed fine, she called Wen Ping behind her and continued to walk upstairs, "Don't take it to heart."
Wen Ping walked behind and glanced at the young master, only to see that he was staring at his master's back, just like a lady alone in her room looking at a man who had gone out and never returned.
This strange thought made Wenping shiver with fear.
How could she think that? This is too horrible!
Just as she came to her senses, she saw that the young master who was disturbed by her actions finally withdrew his gaze from his master and looked at her instead.
However, the young master, who had been so weak and pitiful just now, now had a look so cold and scary that Wen Ping trembled with fear.
When I looked at him again, I found that the young man was still gentle and frail, with stunning beauty.
Maybe... I saw it wrong just now?
Wen Ping bowed, hurried away, and caught up with the master in front.
The young master who stayed where he was watched the master and servant go upstairs, lowered his eyes, and walked down the stairs.
After leaving Chunfeng Tower, he saw a white-faced, beardless old man getting off a carriage in front of the building and helping him into the carriage:
"Your Majesty, it's time to return to the palace. You've been out for half a day. If you don't go back, you'll have to..."
"Quiet." The young master, who had a weak face in the restaurant just now, was now leaning on the carriage with an expressionless face, his eyes heavy, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Just two simple words calmed down Manager Liang who was serving on the side.
The wheels of the carriage rolled on the ground, making a rumbling sound.
It was a very normal sound and not too loud, but it made the little emperor frown even more, and even his emotions became unstable, as if he would get angry at any time.
The next moment, he took out a purse from his bosom and rubbed the fabric lightly with his fingers. The emotions that were on the verge of exploding just now seemed to be gently soothed by a hand and calmed down temporarily.
However, the taste of this purse has become much lighter.
"Was the person who entered the room that day really Leng Qianqian from the Shangshu Mansion?" The little emperor's voice sounded again in the quiet carriage.
"Yes,"
Manager Liang quickly replied,
"I sent someone to investigate again, and the results I found that day were indeed true.
Leng Qianqian's origins were unknown. She was an orphan brought back from outside by the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. She had no status and lived in the Marquis's mansion. She was worse than a concubine.
It is said that he was jealous of the Marquis' wife, so he wanted to frame her for adultery, but he didn't find the adulterer in the house...
Ahem, anyway, Leng Qianqian's things were found in the room, but Madam Hou had been staying outside, so... after finding out, Madam Hou took Leng Qianqian back.
But the Zhongyong Marquis family doesn’t seem to be very satisfied with the Marquis’ wife, and they just took back her housekeeper power and gave it to Leng Qianqian yesterday.”
Speaking of this, Manager Liang found it unbelievable.
In some houses, when the wife of the principal wife dies and there is no suitable replacement to be found, the concubine will be asked to manage the internal affairs temporarily.
But I have never heard of a case where the wife of the first wife is still alive and the housekeeper power is given to a woman who does not even have the status of a concubine.
The rules of the Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion are too chaotic.
After hearing this, the little emperor nodded and said nothing more, but his eyes fell on the purse in his hand.
He had seen Leng Qianqian today, but for some reason, although he had left the palace for her, he did not immediately step forward to recognize her.
But seeing that she suffered a loss at the hands of the marquis's wife, he thought that Leng Qianqian was still useful after all, so he planned to find trouble for the marquis's wife.
however……
Thinking of the feeling of being embraced by the woman just now, he moved his body uncomfortably and felt his arms and lower back getting a little hot.
I didn't do any of the things that were planned. Instead, I watched the other person walk into the private room.
"The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is a girl from the Ye family, right?"
Hearing the emperor's question, Liang Zongguan quickly gave an answer:
"Yes, Your Majesty, she is the daughter of the Ye family, her name is Ye Qiongying."
After he finished speaking, he looked up again and found that His Majesty was leaning against the carriage with his eyes closed, as if he was resting.
He quickly lowered his head, moved quietly, and waited aside, not saying anything more to disturb her.
On the other side, in the private room on the second floor of Chunfeng Building, Ye Qiongying readily ordered several signature dishes and asked Wenping to sit down and eat with her.
Wen Ping grew up with Ye Qiongying, so their friendship is naturally special.
In her previous life, in order to protect Ye Qiongying, she was beaten half to death and sold out by Yin Xu and Leng Qianqian. Soon, news came that she had died of illness.
"Master, that young man was so handsome. I wonder who he was from." Wen Ping had forgotten her "misjudgment" and only remembered the young man's beauty. "But he was not in good health and looked sick."
Ye Qiongying was not very interested in the stranger she had only met once, so she just listened to Wen Ping's words and said:
"Have you and Ye Yuan dealt with the dowry list?"
"Of course!" Wen Ping's attention was drawn back when this was mentioned. "Master, are you going to get a divorce and leave the house? When are we going back to the Ye family?"
