Chapter 225
Upon hearing this, Ye Yi wanted to defend himself, but when he saw Ye Yunzhou's expression, he shrank his neck and dared not say a word.
Seeing that he didn't make excuses, Ye Yunzhou asked again, "I assume that this incident happened because there were so many women in the courtyard that it was inconvenient to go in, and that this led to someone plotting against you. Now, let me ask you again, when we left the horse training camp, did you deliver the letter I gave you to Miss Luo's room as I instructed?"
Ye Yi nodded: "I sent it in, stuffed it in through the window."
He carefully looked at Ye Yunzhou's face and asked in a low voice, "But Miss Luo didn't receive the letter."
Ye Yunzhou sat on the stool, leaned back, folded his hands on the table, and looked at him expressionlessly: "What do you think?"
Ye Yi was puzzled and said quickly: "But I really put it in."
"Then send someone to search that room, bring the letter back, and return it to Miss Luo."
Ye Yi quickly responded, "Yes, I will be extremely careful about this matter and will never make a mistake again."
"Okay," Ye Yunzhou nodded. "Then let me ask you again. That day in Qingshui Town, I asked you to find out why there was such a commotion up ahead while Miss Luo was being taken back to the Marquis' Mansion. Please tell me the details of what happened."
Hearing Ye Yunzhou's words, Ye Yi became even more confused. He thought carefully about what had happened that day, and after some deliberation, he spoke: "I only know that Miss Luo's uncle was reluctant to let Miss Luo be taken away to the Marquis' Mansion, and later demanded 50 taels of silver from Miss Luo. Miss Luo therefore threatened that even if she became a concubine in the Marquis' Mansion, she would never return to Qingshui Town to seek her uncle's protection. That's it."
Ye Yunzhou clenched his fists on the table, then picked up a teacup and threw it at Ye Yi.
Ye Yi nimbly turned around and dodged, looking at Ye Yunzhou aggrievedly, and said, "Prince, why are you hitting me again?"
Ye Yunzhou stood up and looked at him with a frown: "Then why didn't you explain the matter in detail that day, and only told her those angry words to her uncle."
Ye Yi shrank his neck and whispered, "You usually don't like to hear these trivial matters. I thought you wouldn't care..."
"You thought you didn't care, but it made me prejudiced against her and made me dislike her in every way. Even the first gift I gave her was hurtful."
Ye Yunzhou frowned even more tightly when he saw Ye Yi leaning against the door, looking as if he was afraid that he would attack again.
He sighed and blamed himself, "I'm the one who should be blamed the most. Why should I take my anger out on her because of other things? She's obviously the most innocent person."
Ye Yunzhou looked at his bruised face, turned around, picked up a bottle of medicine from the shelf, and threw it to him, saying unhappily, "Apply it on when you get back. Just looking at it makes me angry."
Ye Yi raised an eyebrow at this, knowing that his anger had subsided. He then grew bolder, took a few steps forward, and sat down opposite Ye Yunzhou. "What happened to make you so angry? Did Miss Luo settle an old score with you because of this?"
Ye Yunzhou had been furious after learning all that, but he hadn't shown it to Luo Shuiyao. On the way here, he'd been getting angrier and angrier, but now that he'd let out his anger, he stopped taking it out on Ye Yi. Although his tone remained unpleasant, he explained, "Because of what happened in Qingshui Town that day, I've become quite prejudiced against her. I was giving her a gift at the wedding banquet, but you gave it to someone else by mistake. And then, because you didn't give her the letter at the horse training camp, she was quite resentful when she saw me today. Don't act like that in the future. Be more careful."
After a pause, he said, "Forget it. If something like this happens again in the future, I will handle it myself. It can't be done by you again."
Ye Yi finally understood what had happened and felt secretly annoyed. No wonder the prince was so angry. He had indeed failed to handle the matter properly. He immediately looked at Ye Yunzhou with a guilty look on his face. "So... has Miss Luo forgiven you now?"
Ye Yunzhou glanced at him and said "hmm" softly.
Ye Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "This is my fault. I will go back today and explain to Miss Luo Biao, so that she won't blame you for this."
Ye Yunzhou waved his hand and said, "Don't go in the near future. Wait a few days before going."
Ye Yi was slightly startled when he heard this, then he raised his hand to touch his bruised face, hissed softly, and understood what Ye Yunzhou meant, "Okay then."
"You go down." After the two of them talked, Ye Yunzhou sent Ye Yi out.
Ye Yi just stood up and walked to the door, but suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head to look at Ye Yunzhou, and called out: "Prince..."
Ye Yunzhou was busy with his work. Hearing this, he didn't even raise his head. He just said calmly, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Ye Yi rubbed his hands and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Sir, the fifteenth of next month is the Hundred Flowers Festival. I heard that women all like flowers and plants. Why don't you make some good preparations to please Miss Luo?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunzhou put down the pen in his hand, looked up at Ye Yi, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes, "Tell me in detail."
Seeing Ye Yunzhou's interest, Ye Yi immediately perked up, took two steps forward, and said with a smile: "Prince, the Hundred Flowers Festival has always been loved by the women. When the time comes, you can take Miss Luo to visit Kyoto City during the Hundred Flowers Festival. I will take care of the rest."
Ye Yunzhou looked at him suspiciously, frowned slightly, and said with a hint of doubt in his tone, "Can you do it?"
Ye Yi straightened his back immediately, patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry, my lord. I will never let you down this time."
Ye Yunzhou nodded and said in a deep voice: "Okay, if you can't do it well this time, I will break your legs."
"Yes, Prince!" Ye Yi agreed without hesitation, his face full of confidence, and then left the house contentedly.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Miss Luo Cousin would be the future Crown Prince's wife. Due to his previous negligence, he had already repeatedly and inadvertently offended this future Crown Prince's wife. Now was the perfect opportunity to demonstrate his abilities and try to dissuade the Crown Prince's wife from harboring resentment towards him. He would serve under the Crown Prince for the rest of his life and absolutely could not afford to offend his future mistress, otherwise his future would be difficult.
What Ye Yi could think of, Ye Yunzhou could naturally think of as well. Although Ye Yi had not done well in the previous few things, Ye Yunzhou was still willing to give him another chance.
The master and servant had never expected that all their plans and thoughts today would come to nothing, leaving them with endless confusion and loss.
.........
The next morning, the weather was clear, and after breakfast, someone came to report that the Marquis's wife had sent someone to make new clothes for Luo Shuiyao.
When Luo Shuiyao heard this, she quickly asked Nanny Zhang to invite someone in.
