Chapter 669: Flirting and Promising
The young man noticed everyone's gazes and ignored everyone else, continuing to curse loudly.
"Damn scumbag!"
“Hey, young man, isn’t it a good thing that Prime Minister Yun abandoned Ye? At least Ye, the mistress, deserves it! Things that are robbed are not yours after all!” The old woman thought that the young man didn’t understand the affairs of the Yun Mansion, and was just unilaterally scolding Yun Xiang when he saw him divorcing his wife. So she kindly explained the background story of the Yun Mansion to the man.
The young man smiled gently: "Old man, I am not speaking up for the Ye family, I am speaking up for the Meng family so I called Prime Minister Yun a 'dead scumbag'!"
The old woman finally understood and whispered, "So that's it."
The old woman and many people around the man quickly reminded him that they could curse in private, but if they cursed too loudly, Yun Xiang might hold a grudge against them and they might even be thrown into jail!
The man laughed again: "I'm not afraid, Meng is my aunt. If you have the guts, come find me and see if the people in the Mengguo Mansion are vegetarians!"
The people around him realized that this handsome guy was the young master of the Meng family! No wonder he hated Yun Xiang so much! A good aunt married into the Yun family but died.
Everyone expressed sympathy for Meng Ninglang, and then the crowd started to riot. Everyone's face was filled with righteous indignation, and they listed the faults of Yun Xiang's family. Of course, Yun Mujiu was not among them. After all, Yun Mujiu openly showed his opposition to the Yun family.
Ling Xingmu put his arm around Meng Ninglang's shoulders and said, "Come on, little brother, I'll buy you a pot of wine."
Meng Ninglang said: "I want to go to Yun Mansion and beat that bastard up!"
Ling Xingmu was stunned. "Meng Ninglang, when did you become so heroic?"
"I'm so angry." Meng Ninglang added, "I can't say anything good about a scumbag like Yun Xiang."
"That's great, little brother. You've made great progress. When you were little, you were always timid, but now you've changed a lot." Ling Xingmu pulled Meng Ninglang's shoulders and kindly advised, "King Ye and Princess Ye have their own plans for Yun Mansion. You'd better not rush to Yun Mansion."
"Yes, I know. Even though I am angry, I will not cause trouble for her and the Night King."
"Okay, okay!" Ling Xingmu raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw Meng Ninglang listening to his advice. "Let's go to the restaurant and have a drink!"
...
After Yun Xiang divorced Ye, he thought he would no longer be affected by the bad influence of this evil woman and would be able to preserve his good reputation. Unexpectedly, after he sent out the divorce letter, he was cursed by a large group of people.
However, people didn't scold him for divorcing Ye, but mainly scolded him for being so heartless and letting Meng down. If she hadn't lived a bad life in Yun Mansion, how could Meng have died of dystocia!
In addition, there was a small group of people who scolded Yun Xiang for being too deep-minded and too evil, and for abandoning Ye immediately after Ye got into trouble.
Yun Xiang had planned everything, but he never expected that divorcing Ye Shi at this time would completely backfire on him. He also didn't expect that there would be people in the crowd arranged by Yun Mujiu to stir up the atmosphere and take the lead in scolding the people in Yun Mansion.
When Yun Xiang heard the outside world's discussions, he felt dizzy and almost fell down. The direction of public opinion was not what he expected at all. He became the target of everyone's accusations. Damn it!
The servant came to report that they had finally found out about Doctor Wu and his daughter. Doctor Wu and his daughter had been imprisoned by the emperor for poisoning the prince.
When Yun Xiang heard this, he almost fainted. Wu Mingwei had offended the emperor, empress, and prince, so how could he invite Wu Mingwei to treat Yun Shirou!
Do I really have to ask Yun Mujiu for help?
...
In the Ye Mansion, Qichi Courtyard, Yun Mujiu finished his breakfast and listened to the servants of the Ye Mansion talking about the situation outside the mansion.
Hearing Yun Xiang being scolded, Yun Mujiu felt relieved. Didn't Yun Xiang insist on being with Ye before? He deserved to be scolded now! She would not let this bad man and bad woman have an easy life!
After hearing the gossip, Yun Mujiu turned to Ye Xiaohan and said, "Your Majesty, I have to go out to the villa and the shop. Last time I said I would go to the villa to watch the assassins' martial arts training, but I never had time to go."
He took out a manual from his pocket and said, "This is the inspiration I had for making desserts yesterday. The manual contains some recipes for making summer drinks. The chefs at Laurel House can make drinks and then sell them to the public. At the same time, I also urged them to brainstorm and come up with some new drink recipes."
Ye Xiaohan quickly flipped through the manual, a hint of admiration flashed across his eyes, and then he handed the booklet to Yun Mujiu.
"I'll go out with you."
"Are you sure, Your Majesty? Isn't Your Majesty busy with official duties?"
"I'm done." Ye Xiaohan said decisively. Anyway, there shouldn't be anything big to deal with today.
Yun Mujiu nodded, changed his clothes, and left the house with Ye Xiaohan.
They went out in a very low-key manner, riding in an ordinary horse-drawn carriage, with Suixi acting as the coachman to drive the horses.
Along the way, Yun Mujiu lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked at the scene on the street with interest. From time to time, he could hear the discussions of the people. The storytellers, scholars, and vendors on the street were all talking about some hot topics.
For example, the Night King would not allow anyone to slander the reputation of the Night Princess, even if those people were people close to the Crown Prince, the Night King would still teach them a lesson.
Yun Mujiu was worried about Ye Xiaohan, and said casually: "Your Majesty, why do you want to let the emperor know that it was you who did it? The emperor will hate you even more."
"It doesn't matter. Whether I do it or not, he will hate me." Ye Xiaohan said indifferently. "What's more, telling the truth about my beating and killing people can greatly deter those who want to harm you."
Yun Mujiu's eyes flickered, and she immediately poured tea for Ye Xiaohan. Her dark eyebrows drooped, and a mischievous smile appeared on her oval face.
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I have nothing to repay you, so I can only offer you a cup of tea as a token of my appreciation."
"Humph! You have a conscience." Ye Xiaohan accepted Yun Mujiu's joke and said leisurely, "One cup of tea, how can it be enough?"
"What should I do then?" Yun Mujiu looked innocent, with an attitude of a rogue who said, "This is all I can give you."
"Then I'll punish you."
"What's the penalty?"
Ye Xiaohan put down the teacup and said in a resounding tone: "I will punish you by making you pledge yourself to me."
Yun Mujiu raised her eyes, and her heart started beating again. Why is Ye Xiaohan so good at teasing her recently?
"My Lord, why do you always tease me?"
Someone wondered: "What is 'teasing'?"
"It means something like 'seduce'. The prince has been talking to me differently lately. It tugs at my heartstrings."
"Oh?" Ye Xiaohan became interested, and only now realized that he had accidentally provoked Yun Mujiu again. It seemed that he had made some progress, at least sometimes he knew how to get along with Mu Mu.
Ye Xiaohan said with a straight face: "I didn't flirt with you. I just told you the truth."
“Okay, okay…” Yun Mujiu complained in his heart: Ye Xiaohan is really stubborn!
Suixi and Fusang, who were outside the carriage, felt their teeth ache when they heard the voice coming from inside the carriage. How could the prince and princess bicker so sweetly?
The carriage arrived at another busy street, and Yun Mujiu heard the people outside discussing this morning's imperial edict. They gathered together and despised Yun Xiang, the Phoenix man who had ascended to power and betrayed his original wife.
Yun Mujiu said again: "Your Majesty, if Prime Minister Yun can't ask Wu Mingwei for treatment, who else do you think he will ask?"
Ye Xiaohan blurted out: "You."
Yun Mujiu chuckled, "Then we have to go back home quickly, so as not to miss another good show..."
