Chapter 171
Luo Shuiyao raised her eyebrows, knowing in her heart that what he said was just a hint that she was a vixen. This roundabout way of speaking made her feel both amused and angry.
"Yes, I've also heard that vixens not only bewitch people, but are also adept at digging into their hearts. You'd better keep an eye on your young master, and don't let me devour him alive."
When Ye Yi heard her words, he scratched his head hurriedly and said, "No, no, no, Miss Yao, you misunderstood me. I really didn't mean that. I just thought my young master's behavior today was too strange, so I said the wrong thing without thinking. Please don't be angry."
Ye Yi was really anxious.
A few days ago, he'd heard Old Chu tell a story from a picture book about a scholar who was bewitched by a fox spirit, his personality changing dramatically. He hadn't expected to see his own prince acting so strangely today, completely unlike his usual self. Ye Yi couldn't help but grumble, but regretted it the moment he'd finished. How could he accuse someone of bewitching in front of a young woman? If the prince found out, he'd definitely be punished again.
Luo Shuiyao smiled nonchalantly. She had never intended to blame Ye Yi, so why would she dwell on such trivial matters? She raised her jade hand lightly, patted the table, and motioned for Zhuangzi and Ye Yi to sit down and talk.
Ye Yi's gaze darted in the direction Ye Yunzhou had left. Just as he was about to say he'd make tea, he stopped himself. The image of the prince tenderly gazing at Miss Yao surfaced in his mind. Furthermore, the prince had specifically mentioned making tea for her, surely expressing his affection for his beloved. If he did it himself, the prince would likely be displeased.
After consideration, he obediently pulled Zhuangzi's sleeve, and the two sat down opposite Luo Shuiyao.
Ye Yi thought of the embarrassing scene just now and secretly warned himself not to embarrass himself in front of Miss Yao again. Then, he smiled politely: "Miss Yao, are you here for fun?"
Luo Shuiyao nodded gently and said softly: "I live in the villa next door, and I came here to have fun and relax."
"No wonder!" Ye Yiyi slapped his forehead, a look of sudden enlightenment appearing on his face.
"What's the matter?" Luo Shuiyao asked in confusion when she saw him like this.
"No wonder my young master has been hanging around the nearby farm these past two days. It turns out he knew you were coming."
His eyes rolled, and a plan suddenly occurred to him. His young master was always taciturn, and even if he had a crush on someone, he wouldn't know how to express his feelings. As the most important person around the young master, how could he not help his son solve his problems?
Zhuangzi, standing nearby, froze at his words. Luo Shuiyao was right across from him, so he couldn't offer direct warnings, so he kept winking. Ye Yi, usually so alert, seemed blind, not even glancing at him. Zhuangzi had no choice but to reach out and try to kick Ye Yi, warning him to stop talking nonsense.
But Ye Yi didn't care about him at this time. After being kicked for no reason, he immediately turned around and looked at him, saying dissatisfiedly: "Why did you kick me for no reason? I'm not blocking your way."
Zhuangzi "..."
His mother once told him that it was impossible to persuade a damned ghost with kind words, so let this fool get beaten on his own.
Ye Yi deliberately leaned aside, creating some distance between him and Zhuangzi, then moved closer to Luo Shuiyao, whispering softly, though both present could clearly hear him. "I'm telling the truth. My young master is usually very busy. But since the night before yesterday, he suddenly wanted to come here to train horses, and even dug out his best-kept clothes. You know, he rarely does this on a normal day."
At this point, Ye Yi looked at Luo Shuiyao and said meaningfully, "Miss Yao, why do you think he is like this?"
Luo Shuiyao still had that gentle smile on her face. She shook her head gently and said, "I guess your master is just busy."
"He is very busy with his daily affairs. He would like to split an hour into two halves. How can he finish his work?" Ye Yi waved his hands hurriedly, his face full of an expression that showed that this was impossible.
Luo Shuiyao was about to respond when she caught a glimpse of someone slowly approaching with a teapot in hand. She narrowed her eyes slightly, "So that's how it is. Your young master is so busy that he doesn't even come home."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yi panicked. He didn't even consider how this girl knew whether his young master had returned home. He was only concerned with making it clear that although his young master was busy, he must not let others think he was too busy to go home. After all, few girls would like a man like this. What woman wouldn't want a husband to spend more time with his wife and children at home? If he couldn't even go home, how could he find a wife?
So he quickly explained: "That's not the case. My son doesn't come home not because he is too busy, but because he doesn't like certain people."
Luo Shuiyao's lips curled up slightly, "I see. To be disliked by your young master, this person must be extremely corrupt."
Ye Yi only wanted to explain why his son didn't come home, and he didn't care about anything else. He said directly: "This is my cousin who was brought back by my master. She is vain, cruel, and arrogant. That's why my master doesn't like her."
Luo Shuiyao already had the answer in her mind, but still pretended not to know and asked, "What's the girl's last name?"
"The girl's surname is Luo."
As expected! Luo Shuiyao had expected this, but her eyes still dimmed slightly. This evaluation was exactly what others in the original novel said about the original owner!
Zhuangzi, who was standing next to him, couldn't bear it and closed his eyes. He no longer had the intention to stop it. He thought that some people could not escape being beaten after all. Zhuangzi thought with a feeling of vicissitudes in his heart.
Ye Yunzhou approached with the teapot in hand. From a distance, he saw Ye Yi and Luo Shuiyao standing very close together. He couldn't help but frown and quicken his pace. Unexpectedly, when he got closer, he heard Ye Yi's words. He couldn't help but clench the tea tray tightly. If he hadn't tried so hard to restrain himself, the tray would have been crushed by now.
“Miss Yao, you don’t know, some people are really vicious…” Seeing that Luo Shuiyao’s expression had not changed, Ye Yi thought that she didn’t believe it, so he couldn’t help but move closer, wanting to say a few more words.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a cold rebuke: "Get out."
Ye Yi's entire body froze. He slowly turned his eyes and saw Ye Yunzhou staring at him coldly. He immediately shrank back in fear, wondering what he had said to anger the prince so much. However, he was always a man of tact. Even though he didn't understand the situation, he didn't dare to linger. He quickly jumped to his feet, dragging the stunned Zhuangzi with him as he left, and scurried out the door.
