Chapter 117 Wake up
"What do you mean?"
"I asked Li Yi to investigate. After Zhao Yesong's death, his family still lived in the countryside and lived in poverty. His brother's tuition for school was still funded by the palace. If he betrayed you, he would definitely get benefits and improve his family's living conditions, but his family is not doing well. Of course, you can also say that his family is good at disguising. Zhao Yesong has been dead for two years. Recently, he suddenly appeared near the capital, and even led you to track him. He inexplicably disappeared near Jinghua Academy, and then left openly, allowing you to see his face clearly. This does not conform to the style of a traitor, unless they did it on purpose to distract you and divert your investigation, so as to buy them more time. Maybe in a few days, that Zhao Yesong will inexplicably disappear from this world again."
The Seventh Prince suddenly realized what was going on. He excitedly grabbed Ye Youlan's arm and said, "You've awakened me from my dream. I almost fell for it. Why is this matter so strange?"
"If I'm not guessing correctly, that Zhao Yesong must be a fake. He has a human skin mask on his face. Think carefully, does that person really look like Zhao Yesong?"
The Seventh Prince closed his eyes and thought, then opened them and said, "It's indeed not one person. Zhao Yesong has been marching and fighting for many years, so he must be stronger."
After untangling the knot in his heart, the Seventh Prince's expression suddenly relaxed, and he ate another bun.
Ye Youlan told him to eat and drink well and then go and sort out the clues. He should not be led by the enemy. She wanted to go to Ruoyun's farm to play for a few days.
"I will go with you."
"No, it's fun for us women to get together. You men will get bored."
"You guys chat about yourselves, I'll be there reading a book or fishing."
Ye Youlan said reluctantly: "Okay!"
Ruoyun's farm had already been newly decorated, and with spring just around the corner, the vibrant colors of flowers were a breathtaking sight. The farm's steward had arranged rooms for everyone to rest.
The Seventh Prince specifically requested to stay at Fengwan Pavilion. The steward was a little embarrassed: "That place is only for resting. If you want to live there, you need to add some things."
"It's okay, I'll have someone arrange it."
Ye Youlan quietly asked him why he wanted to live in Fengwange?
"That's where we had skin-to-skin contact."
Ye Youlan twisted his arm: "That time doesn't count at all, I was just saving the day."
The Seventh Prince pretended to be confused: "What are you saving? You are saving my life."
As the sisters chatted together, Chen Xiaoling curiously asked Ye Youlan, "Didn't he say that a maid entered the Seventh Prince's room when he was resting in Fengwan Pavilion last year? Weren't you disgusted?"
Ye Youlan asked the sisters to come closer. She wanted to tell a secret: "In fact, there is no girl at all. I just don't like him and spread rumors about him!"
"But isn't there a lip mark on his neck? What's going on?"
"That's my lip balm."
"You?" the sisters exclaimed in surprise.
"Hush! I didn't mean to. I went to the peach forest to look for Li Zong, but I bumped into the Seventh Prince. We didn't get along, so we argued for a bit and then came back."
"I never thought your fate would come about on my farm." Ruoyun laughed, "Who would have thought that you were enemies last year, but this year you're a loving couple."
Ye Youlan smiled: "So the prince chose to live in Fengwan Pavilion."
Chen Xiaoling looked at Ye Youlan and said, "I didn't expect you to be so cunning and keep us all in the dark."
Ye Youlan said calmly, "This isn't a big deal, it's not worth mentioning."
Ye Youlan looked towards the courtyard gate outside the pavilion and asked, "Why hasn't Yu Rou come yet? Ruo Yun, have you informed her?"
"I informed her first."
After sitting for a while, Miaoyu felt uncomfortable in her waist, so the maid quickly helped her back to the house to rest.
Chen Xiaoling looked at Miaoyu's frail body and sighed, "This is a chance to test Zhang Liang, to see if he can endure loneliness."
Ruoyun laughed: "You have nothing to do every day, and you only care about these trivial matters."
Chen Xiaoling was dissatisfied: "How can this be a bad thing? I am worried about Miaoyu. Yurou has a husband who doesn't love himself, and now there is a Zhang Liang. Just thinking about it makes me feel overwhelmed."
Ye Youlan made a gesture to stop him and said, "Don't worry, Zhang Liang is not that kind of person, nor is Li Chuang, and even less so is Chen Su."
Ruoyun and Xiaoling stared at her, wondering why she said that?
"I calculated with my fingers, and they are all relatively reliable people, but we still have to be on guard against villains. The beautiful girl in the mansion who is restless should be sent away as soon as possible or married off."
Chen Xiaoling looked at him meaningfully, and asked jokingly, "Did you marry Xiaomei with this in mind?"
"Xiaomei likes Li Yi. If I want her to be my concubine, she'll probably jump into the river."
After a while, the manager came over and said that most of the invited guests had arrived.
Ye Youlan stood up and said, "Let's go play for a while."
Ye Youlan designed some games suitable for women, such as ring toss and dart flower piercing. There is a bag behind each flower with a small gift inside, similar to opening a blind box.
There are rules for the ring-tossing game area. One ring costs five cents, and the prizes are varied, all small gadgets, but the unique design is still quite attractive.
Ye Youlan quietly told Chen Xiaoling Ruoyun: "These are the leftover scraps from making clothes in the mansion. We can use them to make small dolls, small cloth bags, small sachets, and small flowers made of cloth. They will look beautiful when pinned in your hair."
Chen Xiaoling asked the maid to take out a tael of silver, and exaggeratedly said that she wanted to take all the gifts home. The steward brought a large bunch of bamboo rings and reminded her that there were more after she threw them away.
Ye Youlan smiled: "You take your time and have fun. Ruoyun and I will go look somewhere else."
There were many young men gathered in the dart area, throwing a dart for ten cents.
Ruoyun didn't understand why the man's gift had to be twice as expensive since the gifts were almost the same.
"Because men are not short of money, women are more careful when spending money."
"what do you want to play?"
"I like to watch others play while I count the silver."
"miser."
The two continued walking forward. There was a row of tables in the corridor in front. On them were jewelry, silk, etc. sent by various shops. Customers could buy if they liked, and just look at them if they didn’t like.
"There aren't as many customers today as last time, so I don't think we can sell much."
"In fact, setting up a stall isn't necessarily about selling things. No, the focus shouldn't be selling things. It's just to give people a chance to walk around and look around when they can't participate in the games, so they don't feel bored. If they pass by and look at the shop, or even just remember the name, they can mention it next time they're shopping or chatting with friends, and it could be a good opportunity to make a sale."
Ruoyun admired Ye Youlan very much: "You didn't seem to have much interest in making money before. How come you are so good at amassing wealth after getting married? Did the prince teach you?"
Ye Youlan nodded and said, "It's mainly because I'm too bored. I need to find some fun in my life. There are many shops in the palace, so I used them to practice. I didn't expect the profit to be so good."
