Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 160 Catch the adulterer

"The young master asked me to do this. If I don't agree, he will sell me out. I'm already old, and if I go out, I'll be dead."

The more Qin Yurou thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. They had actually teamed up to deceive her. She glanced at Xiaohong and felt a little ashamed. When Xiaohong reminded her, she didn't believe her and even slapped her.

"Go to Qingyue Temple and wait on Madam!"

Xiaohong came over and helped her back to the room to rest. She had a miscarriage and couldn't be too tired.

Qin Yurou lay on the bed. She thought for a moment, then asked Xiaohong, "What do you think of Ren Yue?"

Xiaohong stood there respectfully, not knowing how to answer.

"Just tell me straight, I can see clearly now. You are the only one in this mansion who truly cares about me."

"Ren Yue is so fake. I always feel like she's trying to get close to you on purpose. Lanzhi was clearly the maid that the young master brought back home, but she took her away and lied that she was her cousin. She even openly moved in next door with her cousin, giving the young master the opportunity to have a secret meeting with Lanzhi. She's either a pervert or a bully."

Qin Yurou said slowly, "Do you think Ren Yue and Li Zong might also have an affair? Otherwise, it's hard to explain why she would do this."

Xiao Hong said cautiously, "Ren Yue is eight years older than the young master, so that shouldn't be the case, right?"

“You’ll know if you can give it a try.”

After Ye Youlan returned from the palace, she began to concentrate on her business. She wanted to leave the capital and go to her fiefdom, the more money the better.

She draws and modifies in the studio every day, and then goes to the embroidery room to discuss with the embroiderer to finally decide on the finished product style.

Xiaomei said: "The hairpin bracelets designed by the princess are very popular, and various cloth bags are also very popular."

When she was tired from work, Ye Youlan would sometimes sit in the embroidery room and drink tea, listening to the embroiderers chatting while they worked, observing them, and looking for inspiration for her designs; sometimes she would sit on the low couch and drink tea, and when she felt like it, she would take the prince's guqin and play it a few times. At this time, everyone would stay away, and those who really couldn't avoid it would cover their ears.

The Seventh Prince would come over when he heard the sound and teach her step by step, but Ye Youlan had no patience and stopped playing. Everyone felt saved in their hearts.

It was time for the Beijing Women's Evening News to distribute dividends again. Xiaomei divided the dividends and asked Li Yi to deliver them to each mansion, giving each family thirty taels.

Li Yi took back the painting paint from Chen Xiaoling, saying that it was the latest product developed by Chen Su and was hard to find on the market.

Miaoyu gave Ye Youlan a large basket of lobsters. Ye Youlan laughed, she had forgotten that Zhang Liang's family was a wealthy business family with their own caravan.

Ruoyun sent the best tea, but Qin Yurou didn't send anything because Li Yi told Ye Youlan that Qin Yurou was worried and asked Xiaohong about it. Xiaohong just said that it was a private matter in the mansion and it was not convenient to talk about it.

Ye Youlan knew that the Seventh Prince had secret sentries monitoring the Li Mansion. Since he didn't say anything, it meant it was not a big deal, so she didn't take it to heart.

While lying in bed at night, she casually asked the Seventh Prince, "Did something happen in the Li Mansion?"

The Seventh Prince said calmly, "Yu Rou had a miscarriage, but she didn't seem to want anyone to know."

Ye Youlan sat up suddenly: "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?"

The Seventh Prince patted her shoulder and said, "A few days ago, Qin Yurou was a person who was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, with a strong will. She must have her own considerations for not speaking. Let's just wait and see what happens!"

Ren Yue and Lan Kou stayed in the countryside for a few days, but didn't hear any news, so she brought Lan Kou back. As soon as she got back, someone from the Li Mansion came to invite her and Miss Lan Kou to dinner that evening. The young lady wanted to treat them to some fresh fruits sent from the farm.

Ren Yue smiled and nodded in agreement.

Li Zong came back in the evening, changed into casual clothes and went to the dining hall. Seeing Ren Yue and Lan Comeau, Li Zong was stunned. He couldn't figure out what Qin Yurou was up to.

Qin Yurou greeted him with a smile: "Husband, come here. Sister Ren Yue and Sister Lan Comeu are back. Please invite them over for a simple meal."

Li Zong came over with a forced smile and sat next to Qin Yuruo. He looked at Ren Yue, but Ren Yue pretended not to see anything.

The food was brought up from the kitchen, and Qin Yurou greeted everyone with a smile: "These are all the favorites of Sister Ren Yue and Sister Lan Comeau."

Ren Yue expressed her gratitude: "Thank you, sister."

She ate a few bites of food and drank two mouthfuls of porridge, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach. She put down her chopsticks and said embarrassedly, "I'm going to the bathroom."

"Xiaohong, take Sister Ren Yue over there."

Yu Rou picked up some food for Lan Comeu and asked her if it was convenient to live in the countryside.

Li Zong put down his chopsticks and said, "I seem to have an official letter to deal with. You guys eat first!"

Qin Yurou smiled gently, "Husband, go and do your work. I'll ask Xiaobao to bring the food to the study."

Lancome said enviously: "Sister is so good to Mr. Li."

"Of course you have to treat him well, otherwise other women will come to you. Men are all the same. How can you bear to throw away the meat that is in your mouth?"

Lankou lowered her head to eat, embarrassed, trying to hide her panic. She wondered why Sister Ren Yue hadn't returned yet. Young Master Li had also left. Were they going to have a secret meeting? They were so bold! What if they were discovered?

Suddenly, someone in the mansion rang a gong to catch a thief. Qin Yurou was startled and asked Lan Comeau to sit there while she went to take a look.

"I'll go with my sister."

All the servants in the mansion ran towards the place where the gong sounded, all the way to the outside of Li Zong's study.

Qin Yurou was puzzled and asked if the thief had run into her husband's study?

"Oh no! My husband is still in the study. He might have been held hostage by a thief." Qin Yurou knocked on the door worriedly. "My husband, are you okay? Is there a thief in there?"

"No, no, I'm changing clothes." Li Zong's voice came from inside.

Xiao Hong screamed, "There must be a thief inside. The young master doesn't need to close the door when changing clothes in the academy. No one comes here normally. Xiao Bao is the only man here. It would be strange if he closed the door, right, Xiao Bao?"

Xiao Bao didn't know what was going on. He had just gone to the servants to watch them training. He nodded and thought that what Xiao Hong said made sense.

Qin Yurou yelled, "Hurry up and break the door open."

So a servant pushed through the crowd and walked to the door, kicked it open with force, and everyone squeezed in. Qin Yurou stood behind and looked coldly at the people in front of her.

Li Zong straightened his clothes, feeling angry and annoyed: "I told you there were no thieves, and you still came in. You have forgotten whose house this is. I am the owner of this house."

When everyone heard their master's words, they silently tried to retreat. Xiaomei suddenly pointed at the corner of a piece of clothing that was exposed from under the desk and shouted, "Master, the thief is under the desk."

Before Li Zong could stop her, Xiaohong lifted the tablecloth on the desk. Ren Yue squatted there with her hands covering her face.

Xiaohong looked at Ren Yue in surprise: "Miss Ren, didn't you go to the toilet? Why are you here?"
