Chapter 68: Volume 1, Chapter 68: The Prince Said No Outsiders Allowed

Hearing this, Ye Lanjue glanced at Moyu. "Did this Prince say I wanted to meddle in other people's business?"

Moyu: "..." He indeed hadn't said he wanted to meddle, but he had ordered them to keep an eye on that side...

Moyu was not Chen Feng, so he didn't say anything more and retreated silently.

On the other side, Ouyang Xi also received news from the dilapidated temple.

However, because Ye Lanjue's people had erased the traces of the two little beggars, Ouyang Xi didn't know about them, only that Yun Qiyue was treating beggars at the temple.

When he received the news, Ouyang Xi remained silent for a long time. Qing Jie thought his master didn't take the matter to heart, so he said nothing.

Yet at this moment, Ouyang Xi spoke with profound meaning: "It seems I won't have come to this Hundred Flowers Festival in vain."

Hearing this, Qing Jie was terrified: "Master, you... what do you mean by that?"

Ouyang Xi glanced coldly at Qing Jie, his expression indifferent. "You have been increasingly overstepping your bounds lately."

Qing Jie was startled and immediately knelt down. The youthful feeling on his face vanished instantly, and his expression became somewhat more composed. "Master..."

Ouyang Xi didn't look at Qing Jie again, only saying coldly, "Everything in excess is bad. If you don't understand your place, go back yourself and have Qinglin come instead."

With that, he walked away, ignoring Qing Jie's pale face.

The next day, no one knew who had spread it, but the news of Yun Qiyue saving beggars at the temple spread throughout Jingcheng, and it became more and more exaggerated, saying that Yun Qiyue had even brought a dead person back to life.

Yun Qiyue wasn't the least bit surprised when she heard the news. Since she had shown her face, there was no way it wouldn't spread.

Moreover, this was the result she had intentionally allowed. Once the rumors were out, she wouldn't lack patients.

Treating patients could not only earn points but also money. With money, she could better develop her own influence; why wouldn't she do it?

Sixue, who brought the news, had been anxious at first, but seeing her Young Lady wasn't the least bit worried, she stopped worrying too.

This news naturally reached the Marquis Mansion. Upon hearing that Yun Qiyue really knew medical arts, Xu Shi, who was putting on her makeup, smashed the jade hairpin in her hand in anger.

"It really is that little bitch!"

The others in the Yun family also heard the news and eventually gathered in the front hall to discuss it.

"That little bitch Yun Qiyue cannot be kept any longer." Yun Jianye was furious.

Yun Jiande glanced at Yun Jianye and said coldly: "Not keep her? Then will you cure Rou'er's poison?"

Yun Jianye felt deflated upon hearing this and couldn't help but look at Yun Laofuren. "Mother, do you have any good ideas?"

Yun Laofuren had a dark face. "What ideas could an old woman like me have?"

If she could, she would most like to get rid of that little bastard, but without her, her two granddaughters would have no one to help them detoxify, and they would miss the Hundred Flowers Festival. The Yun family couldn't afford that price.

"The most urgent task is to cure the faces of Rou'er and Xiang'er first. As for the rest..." Xu Shi spoke, and when she reached this point, her gaze was like poison. "There are ways to make her look good."

Everyone looked at Xu Shi.

Seeing everyone looking, Xu Shi said, "At this Hundred Flowers Festival, as the legitimate daughter of the Yun family, Yun Qiyue cannot avoid going. And as long as she goes to the Hundred Flowers Festival, I can make her reputation ruined."

She recovered and isn't a fool anymore?

Then she would make her regret not being a fool, and make sure she could never hold her head up in the noble circles of Jingcheng again.

Although they still had to wait, there was no other way besides waiting for the Hundred Flowers Festival, so this discussion ended in compromise, and the Marquis Mansion sent people to the neighbor's house to invite her again.

But the people sent couldn't even enter the Mingyue Building.

Seeing this, Xu Shi went over herself, but only met Yun Bo.

"Our Young Lady is not here," Yun Bo said calmly. Seeing Xu Shi didn't believe him, Yun Bo added, "If the First Madam doesn't believe me, you can ask the servants in the mansion to see if our Young Lady has gone out."

With Yun Bo having said this much, what else could Xu Shi do?

Naturally, she could only return to the mansion.

As for Yun Qiyue, she was indeed not in the General's Mansion at this time.

She was standing at the gate of the Regent's Mansion, carrying a food box.

As for the reason?

Naturally, it was the inspiration Jiuyuan had brought her.

Whether to have a long-term top-up device or to complete that ultimate task, her top priority was to maintain a good relationship with Ye Lanjue.

It was just that while the idea was good, Yun Qiyue couldn't even enter the gate of the Regent's Mansion before being stopped by the guards.

Yun Qiyue pointed to her nose with her finger. "You don't recognize me?"

This wasn't scientific; her face was a living signboard, and she should be recognized wherever she went.

The straightforward guard: "The Prince has said that no outsiders are to be seen. Young Lady Yun, please return."

Heh, they recognized her but wouldn't let her in.

"Your master told you to stop me?" Yun Qiyue wanted to see if there was a chance.

The straightforward guard hesitated, but shook his head, repeating the same words: "The Prince said no outsiders are to be seen."

Meaning, he didn't name her specifically as someone not to be seen, so there was still a chance.

Her eyes rolled around, and Yun Qiyue said with a smile, "Tell me, guard brother, did you overlook something?"

The straightforward guard looked at Yun Qiyue suspiciously upon hearing this.

What could he have forgotten?

He had always acted according to the Prince's orders.

"I am your Prince's fiancée. Could I be an outsider?" Yun Qiyue pointed to her nose.

The straightforward guard: "..." That made a lot of sense; he couldn't refute it.

Seeing the guard waver, Yun Qiyue put down the food box in her hand.

Just kidding, for the sake of the saying "to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach," she had been busy all morning. She had made quite a lot of food, and it was a pure wooden food box, so it was very heavy, okay?

Yun Qiyue put down the food box and started to bluff seriously again. "I have a marriage contract with your Prince, which means I am different in your Prince's heart, right?"

The straightforward guard: "That was an Imperial decree." Otherwise, how could the Prince have a marriage contract with an ugly woman?

Those who wanted to marry their Regent could line up from the north gate of Jingcheng to the south gate.

Yun Qiyue was almost laughed to anger by this straightforward guard. "But it's a fact that your Prince hasn't called off the engagement, right?"

The straightforward guard: "... Yes." He couldn't refute this.

Although he didn't know why.

Yun Qiyue had an expression of "you can be taught." "Think about it, if it were someone else, would your Prince let this marriage contract continue to exist?"

The straightforward guard thought about it and shook his head.

Other women wouldn't live past the second day of the Imperial decree.

Yun Qiyue: "Since that's the case, do you dare say your Prince doesn't treat me specially?"

This time, the expression on the straightforward guard's face completely loosened.

Yun Qiyue pressed on. "Alright, I won't make it difficult for you. Go in and report it. Just tell your Prince that his little fiancée has brought him food she made herself."

The straightforward guard's mouth twitched wildly; he always felt that Yun Qiyue's words sounded awkward no matter how he listened to them.

But the straightforward guard had listened to Yun Qiyue's previous words, so after hesitating for a while, he told his companion and went to report to the Regent's Mansion.

Yun Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief; at least he had gone in to report. ===== CHAPTER 69 =====
