Chapter 187: Thats it
When Ye Shuo returned to the room, he deliberately closed the door a little late. Yao Zhi was so quick-eyed and quick-handed that she immediately seized the opportunity and blocked the door with her hands.
Then Yao Zhi heard these words.
Perhaps the jealousy on Ye Shuo’s face was too obvious, even Yao Zhi could sense it. For some reason, seeing him like this, Yao Zhi felt inexplicably happy.
After all, in this world, who doesn’t want to be extremely important in front of the person they like?
Therefore, Yao Zhi subconsciously explained: “Listen to me, there is really nothing between me and Senior Brother Lin. Senior Brother Lin likes Junior Sister Yue. He and Junior Sister Yue are a perfect match.”
If Senior Brother Lin didn’t have someone in his heart, and they were the same age, Yao Zhi wouldn’t be able to communicate with him so naturally.
But the behaviour of the other senior brother didn’t seem like he only had feelings for the Junior Sister Yue she mentioned.
Ye Shuo did not doubt Yao Zhi’s words, but since he could see it, Senior Brother Lin must have been very obvious in his expression.He is clearly committed to his lifelong love with his junior sister, but he wants to give Yao Zhi a hairpin. The most likely possibility is that this senior brother is playing two-timing.
Well, this kind of scum is also worthy of competing with me for someone? !
Ye Shuo sneered in his heart, but said on the surface: “But he is obviously interested in you too!”
“Impossible!” Yao Zhi refuted without thinking.
However, Ye Shuo didn’t give her this chance at all: “Just now when you were not here, he asked me why someone like me was here.”
“He also gave you a hairpin.”
“He also told me that he was your childhood sweetheart.”
With every word Ye Shuo spoke, Yao Zhi’s doubts grew deeper. In the end, Yao Zhi herself was not sure.
But what finally made Yao Zhi waver was Ye Shuo’s next words.
“If you don’t believe me, go ask your masters and see what they say!”
Ye Shuo understood it in an instant. If this senior brother was really a good person, Huo Tianyi would not be so anxious to pick up people randomly on the street.
So Ye Shuo did not panic at all.
Yao Zhi followed his words and soon realised that Second Master seemed to have said that Senior Brother Lin was not a good person, but she did not pay attention to it at the time, so Second Master did not say it again.
Ye Shuo continued: “Think about it carefully. When he was alone with you, did he really not do anything out of line?”
Indeed, whenever Junior Sister Yue was not around, Senior Brother Lin would become much more casual, his behaviour would not be so particular, he would deliberately become gentle when speaking, and his words of concern would be much more than usual…
In the past, Yao Zhi just thought it was her illusion, but now that Ye Shuo had pointed it out, Yao Zhi gradually realised that something was wrong.
When so many coincidences come together, they are no longer coincidences.
Seeing that the situation was getting heated, Ye Shuo immediately raised his voice: “Since you two love each other, why bother to provoke me!”
The young man’s brows were filled with pain, and for a moment he looked a little miserable.
However, before Yao Zhi could take a closer look, Ye Shuo quickly drove her out.
“I was planning to give you this hairpin on your birthday, but now that you have something better, I guess you don’t need it anymore. So, just throw it away.”
He actually made a hairpin for himself!
Yao Zhi was excited, and then a parabola passed by. Without thinking, Yao Zhi immediately raised her hand to take it.
With Yao Zhi’s skills, it was no problem for her to catch a hidden weapon with her bare hands, so catching a small wooden hairpin was naturally a piece of cake for her.
Although the peach wood hairpin in his hand was simple in style, it was polished to be extremely smooth and flat, without a single burr on it. One could tell at a glance that it was carefully made.
Looking at the closed door in front of her, Yao Zhi’s heart immediately became empty.
After pacing for a while, Yao Zhi first clenched the wooden hairpin which still had residual warmth in her hand, then placed it solemnly in her arms, and finally Yao Zhi walked towards the second master’s yard.
It was obvious that she had made up her mind at this moment and wanted to ask the second master for clarification.
The beautiful woman soon learned the purpose of her visit, and almost instantly, she had a deeper understanding of the young man’s methods.
How long has it been? Less than an hour? The young man has already started to sow discord between her apprentice and her senior brother.
But what could the beautiful woman do? She wished her disciple could see the true face of her shitty senior brother as soon as possible. With the idea of killing as many people as possible, the beautiful woman had no choice but to follow Ye Shuo’s wishes and told her disciple everything she had seen and heard over the years.
No matter what, the masters would definitely not harm her. After the second master’s analysis and Yao Zhi’s own thinking, Yao Zhi gradually discovered that Senior Brother Lin seemed to be…trying to have his feet on both sides?
No wonder he was so angry. If it were me, I would definitely not be able to tolerate such a thing.
The beautiful woman was almost worried to death when she saw this. Although Lin Zhan had been found to be a scumbag, the other one didn’t seem to be much better than him…
What is this called, both out of the dragon’s den and into the tiger’s den?
The other side.
Just when Ye Shuo was hesitating whether to add fuel to the fire and drive that man out of the valley completely, the Seventh Prince suddenly knocked on the door of his room.
At first Ye Shuo thought it was Yao Zhi who had returned, and immediately said, “If you don’t settle your two affairs, don’t even think about coming to see me again!”
The moment the words fell, there was a sudden silence outside the door.
Just when Ye Shuo was wondering if he had gone too far, the person outside finally spoke: “… Ninth brother, it’s me.”
Oh.
It turned out to be the seventh brother.
Only then did Ye Shuo open the door.
“Why are you looking for me?” Ye Shuo looked suspicious.
The Seventh Prince couldn’t understand how he could remain calm after saying such shameful words.
This younger brother always surprises and shocks him.
The Seventh Prince had a strange look in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, and yet wanted to say something but was still reluctant.
Then, he pointed to the yard not far away and said, “It’s not me, it’s our father who’s looking for you.”
Emperor Jingwen had never taken the current petty quarrel seriously, but now he really couldn’t hold it in any longer.
Thinking of his father’s expression just now, the Seventh Prince couldn’t help but kindly remind him: “Be careful.”
“No problem, watch me.” Ye Shuo made an OK gesture, then walked in under the Seventh Prince’s admiring gaze.
The moment the door closed, Emperor Jingwen could be heard gritting his teeth: “What the hell are you doing?!”
Before Emperor Jingwen finished speaking, he heard his son crying out, “Dad! You have to make the decision for me!”
“Those people teamed up to bully this son!”
Ye Shuo was crying and looked so miserable.
Emperor Jingwen: “…”
Emperor Jingwen swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
Emperor Jingwen was so angry that he laughed: “They bullied you?”
Emperor Jingwen was not blind. Look at those masters he always called “masters”. After such a long time, look at how angry they were all because of him.
Not only did he lose money, he also lost things, and he almost lost himself.
If you think about it carefully, those people didn’t actually gain anything.
Ye Shuo paused and said, “And Yao Zhi, she also bullied your son!”
This is even more nonsense.
During these days, Emperor Jingwen watched helplessly how his son had bewitched the girl. He served her with delicious food and drinks every day, and tried every means to get some new and interesting toys for his son. The girl almost took out her heart to show him.
Whenever her son turned his face away, the girl would be flustered for a long time. In this situation, it was unclear where the bullying came from.
Emperor Jingwen took a deep breath and suddenly calmed down a bit: “Get up first and talk later.”
Seeing his stepfather’s firm attitude, Ye Shuo had to stand up reluctantly.
This time Emperor Jingwen called him over not for anything else but to ask him where he learned this act. The Imperial Concubine had an extremely hot temper and was rarely gentle and scheming, so it could be basically concluded that it was not the Imperial Concubine’s fault.
Ye Shuo said without hesitation: “Of course I learned it from the ladies in the palace. Your son has been in the palace for so long, he can’t just stay there for nothing, right?”
“I saw that you were quite fond of this trick, so I thought I would try it myself. But you don’t know, Dad, this trick is so effective!”
Seeing his son’s excited face, Emperor Jingwen felt his temples throbbing.
No wonder it looks so familiar.
There are so many good things in the palace, but he doesn’t learn them, and he doesn’t memorise books, but just learns these messy things, right?
“Have you ever seen a man like this in the whole world?” For a moment, Emperor Jingwen thought he had raised a princess, but the problem was that even Jianjian didn’t behave like this.
When Ye Shuo heard this, he felt innocent: “But this son has never chased a girl, how can he know how to chase a girl?”
Suddenly, Ye Shuo had an idea: “Why don’t you teach your son a lesson? When we were at home, my mother and the other ladies loved you very much. Dad is so powerful, he must have a way.”
Indeed, with so many women in the harem, which one of them didn’t try to please him?
If my son continues to be like this for a long time, it will not be a big deal. Fortunately, it was discovered in time. If it was discovered later, the embarrassment would have been brought to my family.
Emperor Jingwen thought about it, and then spoke: “For men, the words bravery and courage are the most important. Men need to rely on their own abilities, not on the pity of women, let alone these inferior means.”
Emperor Jingwen said a lot, and Ye Shuo listened very carefully.
About a quarter of an hour later, Ye Shuo stood up.
“Thank you, Dad. I understand. Now that I have the right method, I will never be the same again.”
Ye Shuo spoke seriously, and Emperor Jingwen couldn’t help but feel relieved to see that he was so obedient.
After Ye Shuo left, Emperor Jingwen took a while to figure out what was going on.
I always feel like something is wrong…
But before Emperor Jingwen could investigate further, Ye Shuo seemed to have become a different person, and his whole aura suddenly changed.
Compared with him, Lin Zhan himself could not compete with him. Now Ye Shuo’s noble aura suddenly appeared, which made Lin Zhan look even more unbearable.
Lin Zhan’s demeanour was almost crushed to pieces under Ye Shuo’s half-smile.
If the young man picked up from the riverside is the phoenix in the sky, then Lin Zhan is not even a chicken on the ground.
Seeing the two people coming almost at the same time, the beautiful woman and others couldn’t help but wonder why they had regarded Lin Zhan as a major concern in the first place?
