Chapter 132: Beat Him Down

"What's going on between Liao Fuyu and Chu Xiaoyan?" Ye Hongwei said with a gloomy face.

Ye Wanqing shook her head: "My daughter doesn't know either."

"How could Qing'er know about other people's affairs?" Chu Yanrong gave Ye Hongwei a reproachful look before saying, "Rumors spread like wildfire, which will do Qing'er no good. As a father, you should find a way to stop this rumor as soon as possible."

“How do I stop it?”

Ye Hongwei said solemnly: "This rumor was spread by Liao Fuyu herself. She was once Qing'er's best friend. In my opinion, you and I should bring Qing'er to the palace together, let Prince Duan and Princess Duan bring Chu Xiaoyan and Liao Fuyu to court, and let the emperor decide to restore Qing'er's reputation!"

Chu Yanrong couldn't help but glance at her daughter.

Ye Wanqing looked calm: "Dad, Mom, I've thought about it all the way. Since Fu Yu can misunderstand and hate me because of a man, then I don't want this friend. I will do as she wishes and part ways with her from now on."

"Is that all?" Ye Hongwei asked.

Ye Wanqing lowered her eyes: "We can't just let it go like this. Reputation is the most important thing for a woman, and I must seek justice for myself. I agree with my father's method and will go to the palace to ask the emperor to preside over justice."

It just so happened that she needed an opportunity to get the Princess's Mansion and Prince Dun's Mansion to cut ties with Prince Duan's Mansion.

When you feel sleepy, the pillow comes.

Perhaps, Fu Yu did this today because she discovered something extraordinary.

She couldn't waste this opportunity.

Going to the emperor to sever ties is equivalent to giving a clear path forward. When Prince Duan's rebellion is exposed in the future, the two families will not be implicated.

Ye Hongwei said: "The palace examination is today, and I will enter the palace early tomorrow morning."

After saying this, he turned around and wrote a note, asked his servants to send it to Prince Duan's mansion, and personally handed it to Prince Duan, asking Prince Duan and Princess Duan to enter the palace tomorrow.

……

After breakfast, Ye Wanqing returned to Jinghong Garden.

She got up early today and didn't sleep well. Because of what happened to Liao Fuyu, she was even more exhausted and there was a slight bruise under her eye.

Ying Xiang asked her, "Miss, you got up early today, do you want to catch up on some sleep?"

Ye Wanqing nodded: "I'll wash up and go to bed."

She sat in front of her dressing table and took off the jewelry on her head.

Qianxi brought a basin of water into the room, and said angrily, "Miss, you have really suffered an unprovoked disaster today. In the past, I have always liked the Duan Wang Shizi's wife, but I didn't expect that she is such an ungrateful person! How much did you help her? Just take rouge, powder, jewelry and other things that are worth a fortune, but you gave them to her box by box. And she, for a man, slandered you and ruined your reputation in front of so many people! Heaven and earth can testify that the princess has never spoken to Duan Wang Shizi alone!"

"Qianxi!" Yingxiang scolded softly: "Don't talk nonsense about the master!"

Qianxi said angrily: "I feel sorry for the lady too!"

Ye Wanqing looked at the bronze mirror, her expression becoming calmer. "I have severed all ties with Prince Duan's wife. From now on, just treat her as a stranger. Whether she is good or bad, she has nothing to do with me anymore, and you are not allowed to discuss her anymore. If you discuss her once, you will be fined ten taels of silver."

Yingxiang and Qianxi said at the same time: "I will remember this."

Ye Wanqing responded and called a close attendant over: "In the next two days, you will secretly go to Prince Duan's mansion to check on Prince Duan's concubine, closely observe her for any misconduct, and report back to me. Remember, don't let anyone find out."

The attendant quietly left.

After washing up, Ye Wanqing lay down on the soft quilt and fell asleep quickly.

This time, I slept a little deeply.

After an unknown amount of time, the door of the room was pushed open, and then the bed curtain was gently lifted.

Yingxiang called softly, "Miss, it's time to wake up." Ye Wanqing opened her eyes blankly.

Ying Xiang lowered her voice a little, "You have slept for most of the day. It will be dinner time in an hour. You should get up. The prince of Dun came to the mansion this morning. He said he was afraid of disturbing your sleep, so he waited for half a day. Do you want to see him? The prince and the eldest young master are discussing in the flower hall and want to go to fight with the prince of Duan. When the second young master heard this, he rolled up his sleeves and wanted to go with the prince and the eldest young master. The second young master is a scholar, and he just finished the palace examination and will soon enter the court as an official. If they really fight, what will happen if he gets hurt?"

Ye Wanqing had just woken up and was drowsy. She subconsciously asked, "Is the palace examination over?"

"It's over." Ying Xiang replied, "The Second Young Master has been home for a quarter of an hour."

Ye Wanqing finally came to her senses: "Change clothes and prepare water."

Flower Hall.

Chu Anlan and Ye Chenxi were very angry.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I could clearly hear the voice in the flower hall -

"If I don't beat Chu Xiaoyan down today, I'll take his last name!"

"But your surname is Chu."

"Ye Chenxi, which side are you on?"

"Of course it's you! I'll go get the hammer and the sack and put some mice in the sack. He likes cleanliness and is most afraid of mice."

"..."

Ye Wanqing stepped in and called them one by one.

The three of them raised their heads together.

As soon as he saw her, Chu Anlan immediately stood up from his chair: "Qing'er, did you get enough sleep? Why did they wake you up early? Didn't I tell you to sleep a little longer?"

Ye Wanqing's eyes were gentle: "If I don't wake up, you should all go out and beat people up, right?"

Chu Anlan raised his eyebrows: "Are you here to stop us?"

"No." Ye Wanqing said, "You guys go quickly and come back soon. Let's have dinner together in the evening. I'll wait for you at home."

The three people in the room were all stunned for a moment.

Ye Chenxi spoke first: "Sister, is what you said true or false?"

"Do I look fake to you?" Ye Wanqing did not answer but asked: "Are you ready? Aren't you going out yet?"

"I'm going." Chu Anlan flexed his wrist and said like he was offering a treasure: "While you were asleep, I practiced boxing and kicking for the whole afternoon. I will definitely beat Chu Xiaoyan to his knees and beg for mercy. You squeeze my fist, it's very hard."

Ye Wanqing looked at him and asked, "After beating up Chu Xiaoyan, will the prince make peace with him?"

"Of course..." Chu Anlan said halfway, and suddenly changed his tone: "Qing'er, I have known Chu Xiaoyan for many years. Although I also doubt what Liao Fuyu said, I don't think he is that kind of person."

"In that case, there is no need to fight." Ye Wanqing nodded: "It is getting late, the prince should go home early to look after the prince."

"Qing'er, what do you mean by this?" Chu Anlan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him. "Are you ordering me to leave? Do you misunderstand me and think that I won't help you?"

Ye Wanqing's expression faded. "Father has sent a message to Prince Duan's Mansion. Tomorrow, my father and mother will bring me to the palace to seek justice and restore my reputation in front of the emperor. Since the prince believes in Chu Xiaoyan, why should he waste his energy and words on me? It is really not worth it to hurt the brotherhood of more than ten years for me."

After saying that, she nodded slightly at Chu Anlan, turned around and walked out.

Ye Chenting frowned: "Qing'er..."

"Second brother has just finished the palace examination, take a good rest and relax." Ye Wanqing walked out without looking back.
