Chapter 202 Taking Money and Doing Business
Gu Simo quickly patted his back, deliberately making a loud 'slap slap' sound, and muttered under her breath, "Serves you right! Who told you to talk nonsense about your little sister!"
Ye Shijun rolled his eyes and leaned against her, looking like he was in pain. "I'm coughing so hard! Xin'er, quickly help me to the next room to rest!"
Gu Simo glared at him, but she wouldn't answer him!
However, I still poured him a glass of water.
The sudden arrival of Yu Chi Ling caught Du Anwen and Fan Yunying at the other table off guard. The two rose from their seats and respectfully greeted him, "Greetings, Your Highness Prince Cheng!"
"Hmm." Yu Chi Ling responded indifferently, walked straight to another table, and sat down next to Ye Shi Shu.
"Why did you arrive so quickly?" Ye Shishu asked him with a smile. "Have you finished with the matters at the manor?"
"I arrived right after seeing Lord Du off." Yu Chi Ling hooked his arm around her waist, his gaze sweeping across the table before settling on her bowl. "Have you finished eating?"
"I'm done eating." Ye Shishu nodded, then asked him, "Should I have a few more dishes served, and have Second Brother have a couple of drinks with you?"
"No need." Yu Chi Ling took her gourd in front of him and picked up her chopsticks to take a piece of green bamboo shoot.
He ate as if no one else was around, neither minding that the bowls and chopsticks had been used by Ye Shishu nor that the food was leftover.
His left hand never left Ye Shishu's waist from the moment he sat down!
On the other side, Du Anwen and Fan Yunying stared at them in disbelief, as if they had never seen such a scene before.
Ye Shijun then called out to them, "Miss Du, Cousin Yunying, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and eat while it's hot!"
Fan Yunying returned to her seat first.
Du Anwen only looked away after she sat down, and returned to her previous seat, where she lowered her head and ate her food attentively.
No matter what her neighbors were saying or doing, she didn't look up again.
Ye Shishu observed her discreetly, a slight smile occasionally playing on her lips. When Yu Chiling had almost finished eating, she asked him with a smile, "Big brother and Li Yao went to the mountaintop to play. Should we go find them?"
Yu Chi Ling glared at her. "Why are you looking for them? Don't you find yourselves in the way?"
Ye Shishu was slightly taken aback. After realizing what was happening, she looked in Fan Yunying's direction and said with a smile, "That's right. My eldest brother and Li Yao are so close. It would be quite an eyesore if so many of us went." Then she said to Ye Shijun and Gu Simo, "Second brother, Doctor Hua, now that the prince is with me, you two should go and have some fun too."
Ye Shijun was just waiting to hear those words!
"Xin'er, come on, let's find a place to digest our food!" He grinned and pulled Gu Simo to run. But when they passed Du Anwen and Fan Yunying, he stopped and teased, "You two should hurry up and leave after you finish eating. It's getting dark, don't get in the Prince's way, or you'll be thrown out and cry!"
Du Anwen then stood up, bowed to Yu Chiling and Ye Shishu to take her leave, saying, "Your Highness, Your Highness, thank you for your hospitality today. I will not disturb you any longer."
Fan Yunying had wanted to leave for a long time, after all, the man she liked wasn't here! So she also bowed and took her leave.
After all the people who were in the way left, Yu Chi Ling immediately pulled Ye Shi Shu onto his lap, hugged her, and kissed her.
Ye Shishu patted his shoulder, both amused and exasperated. After realizing it was no use, she had no choice but to compromise and let him kiss her as much as he wanted.
"What happened to Miss Du?"
"Does Your Highness know her?" Ye Shishu pouted and glared at him.
"Before I entered the room, Sanshui told me they were here." Yuchi Ling stroked her pouting red lips with his fingertip, frowning as he asked, "But what did they do to upset you?"
Ye Shishu then told him about her chance encounter at the foot of the mountain and the conversation she overheard when she passed by the first floor.
"It's a bit strange that the daughter of a third-rank official is hanging out with Fan Yunying. My second brother and the others also noticed that she had ulterior motives, so they tested her a little. But she doesn't seem interested in my eldest brother or second brother. However, she's been strangely silent since you came."
Yu Chi Ling pressed his forehead against hers and said in a low voice, "Stay away from her, don't make things difficult for yourself."
Ye Shishu countered, "Didn't Lord Du go to see you today? Was there anything strange about him?"
"They only talked about matters of the court and didn't mention anything else."
"Well, as long as he doesn't have any ulterior motives, that's fine." Ye Shishu hugged his neck and smiled. "We're just speculating about Du Anwen. We mainly think that she and Fan Yunying can't do anything good together."
Her soft body pressed against him, and Yu Chi Ling couldn't help but feel a surge of desire. He lowered his eyes to her, and the heat in his eyes rose rapidly.
How could Ye Shishu not feel his body's reactions?
She immediately blushed, let go of him, and quickly jumped off his lap, deliberately putting on a stern face to warn him, "Don't do it like last time!"
Yu Chi Ling glared at her with displeasure.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and his eyes flashed.
“There is a hot spring on the west side of the resort. I was afraid that unauthorized people would pollute the spring water, so I had the road to the west blocked. The hot spring water is clear and sweet, and soaking in it regularly can nourish the skin.”
"Really?" Ye Shishu immediately became interested upon hearing this.
"Go back to your room and tidy up. I'll take you there in a bit."
"Okay!" Ye Shishu smiled and followed him to the private room next door.
……
In a corner on the first floor.
“Miss Du, as you can see, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but these people are very xenophobic. Even though I’m the princess’s cousin, I can’t fit in with them.”
Du Anwen took out a bag of silver from her sleeve and handed it to her with a cold face. "You are still their cousin after all. No matter what you do, they won't dare to do anything to you. Take this silver. If you can make my wishes come true in the manor, I will give you another five hundred taels."
Fan Yunying hefted the heavy bag, her eyes gleaming. Especially considering she still had to pay five hundred taels, her earlier hesitation vanished instantly, and she nodded excitedly, "Miss Du, don't worry, I'll definitely help you get him!"
She had long disliked Ye Shishu.
It's just a pity that the Fan family doesn't have the ability, and can only suffer humiliation in front of the Ye family.
Now that someone has set their sights on Ye Shishu's position as Princess Consort, heaven knows how happy she is. She can't deal with Ye Shishu, but there are plenty of powerful and influential people in this capital; surely someone can handle him!
Besides, she can earn a lot of money just by offering some advice. Only a fool would refuse such a good deal!
The two walked out from the corner and suddenly spotted a man and a woman in the distance.
"Why are they out?" Du Anwen frowned deeply. She was planning to have Fan Yunying lure Ye Shishu out so she could take the opportunity to see Prince Cheng...
"Miss Du, hurry up and follow them, see where they're going!" Fan Yunying grabbed her wrist and started running.
The two ran out of the villa and followed the man and woman ahead, chasing westward.
As they chased after them, not only did the man and woman in front of them disappear, but the road also vanished, leaving them with a giant rock that was two people tall.
"Where did they go?" Du Anwen paced anxiously in circles.
Although it was dark, the moonlight was bright, and she could still make out the terrain. Apart from the short stretch of road they had come from, there was no other way to go.
Fan Yunying looked at the boulder and suddenly said, "This boulder was deliberately placed here. They must have gone behind it. It's a pity we don't have martial arts skills and can't get through."
Du Anwen stared at the boulder, unwilling to give up, and said, "My family is still waiting for me down the mountain. Go down the mountain and bring them up!"
"Alright." Having accepted her money, Fan Yunying couldn't refuse to run errands for her.
But just as she turned around, two dark figures suddenly appeared—
"what!"
"Cousin Yunying, why haven't you come down the mountain yet?"
"Second, second cousin..." After recognizing them, Fan Yunying patted her chest. Suddenly, an idea struck her, and she pointed anxiously at the boulder, saying, "Second cousin, a dark figure just flew past here. Miss Du and I suspected he wasn't a good person, so we chased after him! Second cousin, don't you know kung fu? Could you take us over to see him?"
