Two maids each took a blow and, no longer caring about Ye Yuanlin, turned and fled outside.
Ye Yuanlin was also frightened by the commotion. She backed away to the door and, gritting her teeth in hatred, said, "You just wait!"
She uttered a threat and turned to flee.
Su Xiayue ran over, full of admiration, "Momo, you're amazing! You scared them away with just a plaque."
And you could even make the shop owner listen to you, truly remarkable!
"This isn't just any ordinary plaque," Su Yunmo said, glancing back at the shop owner.
The shop owner hesitated, wanting to speak but holding back.
Su Yunmo yawned and waved the jade bracelet in her hand, "I'll take the item. Go to Yuqin Tower and tell the people there about today's events. Someone will naturally come to help you handle the aftermath."
She then walked towards the exit.
The shop owner hurried after her, cupped his hands in a bow, and asked anxiously, "May I ask the young lady's surname?"
A hint of slyness flashed in the little one's eyes. She raised an eyebrow, "Just tell them I'm their楼主's little sworn enemy."
Then, she waved her hand and left grandly.
Su Xiayue watched her retreating figure, her eyes sparkling.
Momo is so cool!
The shop owner was stunned.
Enemy? A little sworn enemy?
Good heavens, he never expected that the reclusive楼主 would have such a preference!
"Someone, quickly prepare a carriage, head to Yuqin Tower!"
While the shop owner rushed to Yuqin Tower,
Su Yunmo and the other girl spent the entire day playing along the street with the money they hadn't spent.
They did everything they weren't usually allowed to do at home, from eating and drinking to playing and having fun.
The two of them wandered the streets all day, not returning home until dusk.
Su Yunmo returned to the manor with a large pile of snacks, humming a little tune as she went to her courtyard.
Candles were lit in the bedroom, and the flickering candlelight cast shadows on the window.
The door was ajar.
Su Yunmo saw someone sitting by the table inside. Her eyelids twitched, and she turned to run.
Qian Xue descended from the sky, landing in front of her to block her path, "Little Miss, Master said you must see him."
The little one felt a chill from behind and shivered all over, "Just pretend you didn't see me. If he asks, tell him I didn't come back tonight."
Seeing the situation, she feared that if she entered the room, it would be a bloodbath with no return.
Qian Xue paused, then said gravely, "Little Miss, I think it's best you go in now. Fire, the longer it's left, the bigger it gets."
It was no wonder Master was angry.
This morning, he had repeatedly warned her not to go out. Not only did she go out, but she also went to a jewelry store and got into a fight, then used Yuqin Tower to take the blame.
Now, people were already speculating which prince or prince was behind Yuqin Tower.
Fortunately, Tang Jiu was capable and found a way to smooth things over, otherwise, who knows how much trouble it would have caused.
Su Yunmo pouted, "Fine, I'll go in. I'm not afraid of him."
She snorted and turned to go inside, but as soon as she stepped into the room and saw the person sitting at the table, she immediately felt guilty.
Ye Jingyu sat on a stool with his body angled, one hand resting on the table, the other on his knee. His face was expressionless, and his eyes were cold.
The calm before the storm!
Su Yunmo glanced at the table, where several dishes were laid out, but the bowls and chopsticks were clean, untouched.
"Oh? There's so much delicious food tonight? Were you waiting for me?"
She carefully placed her snacks on the cabinet behind the door, rubbed her hands as if nothing had happened, and climbed onto a chair, "I'm starving, let's eat."
Ye Jingyu gave her a cold glance, "Did I permit you to eat?"
Su Yunmo's heart leaped, and she suddenly felt an urge to jump into a river.
It was only then that she remembered she still had the Thousand Love Gu within her.
"Stand there, stand still!" Ye Jingyu commanded sternly.
Su Yunmo shrank her neck, feeling a bit cowardly, and climbed down from the chair, standing behind the table, smiling sheepishly, "What is it? Look at you, with that stern face, you're not handsome anymore."
"You can be all cheerful and smiley now, but I'll soon make it so you can't even laugh!" Ye Jingyu drew a ruler from his sleeve and slapped it on the table.
It made a 'crack' sound.
Su Yunmo immediately felt her hair stand on end.
Almost involuntarily, she hid her small hands behind her back and took a step back, her eyes wide, "I'm telling you, if you hit my palm again, I'll turn on you!"
This person, who usually seemed indifferent when interacting with her, was truly ruthless when it came to hitting.
Last time, for a single wrong character in dictation, she was hit, he was truly heartless.
Ye Jingyu narrowed his eyes dangerously, then suddenly curved his lips into a smile that sent shivers down one's spine, "Oh? I didn't realize the young lady of General's Manor had so much spirit!"
Su Yunmo swallowed, her toes touching, and she shrunk back, "I... I don't have spirit, I was... just saying..."
"Come closer, am I going to eat you?" Ye Jingyu frowned unhappily, seeing her almost retreat to the door.
The little one lowered her head and shuffled forward, mumbling softly, "It's more terrifying than eating people. Don't you know what your own face looks like?"
Ye Jingyu's expression immediately turned grim, "What did you say?"
This girl's courage was growing by the day!
"I didn't say anything." The little one moved to about half a meter in front of him, then thought for a moment and took another small step back.
Ye Jingyu glanced at her small movements but didn't point them out.
"I gave you the Yuqin Tower plaque so you could get what you wanted fastest next time, not so you could use the Yuqin Tower signboard to swindle people!"
She had asked the shop owner to seek help from Yuqin Tower, but deliberately didn't mention her name, calling herself an 'enemy.'
Those rascals from Yuqin Tower were also unreliable. If they handled such a small matter privately, it would be fine, but instead, they sent someone to curry favor with him.
Tang Jiu was even more excessive, bringing a pile of things to Prince Lian's manor, all rouge and powder, claiming they were for the Princess?
His reputation was completely ruined!
The little one fiddled with her fingers, looking wronged.
"I just wanted to get the item. Ye Yuanlin snatched my things and wanted to hit me. I didn't bring anyone with me, and I couldn't beat her, so I had to borrow Yuqin Tower's prestige to suppress her."
Even if she deliberately played tricks on him, what of it? His previous two wives had caused her so much trouble; it was not unreasonable for her to return the favor this time.
Besides, wasn't she planning for the future? The楼主 was so famous; if she got entangled with any more bad桃花 in the future, it wouldn't be good.
First, ruin his reputation, and then no one would be willing to marry their daughters to him.
She was doing this for his own good, definitely not because he had confined her today; she absolutely wasn't seeking personal revenge!
Ye Jingyu sneered, "And there are people you can't beat? That's truly rare."
He'd be a fool to believe her!
Su Yunmo lowered her head and shook it, then suddenly looked up and questioned, "I haven't even spoken to you yet, how did you know I showed the Yuqin Tower plaque to someone today?"
"Were you following me?"
Ye Jingyu narrowed his eyes.
"Otherwise, it means you're the楼主!" Su Yunmo smacked her lips and leaned in playfully, "But I seem to remember someone saying before that he had nothing to do with Yuqin Tower?"
