Chapter 113 Ye Xiyao's Admirers
"Ye Xiyao, you should know better than anyone else that I lost my virginity because of you on the day of the palace banquet."
Tang Xue stood up and roared at the top of her lungs, her face contorted in pain.
"It's all because of you that I have to marry that playboy Chu Hao. You should know what he says outside. He tells others that I had an affair with him before the marriage."
He forced me to do this, and now I have to bear this stigma. What terrible thing have I done? I'm taking the blame for you, sob sob sob…”
Seeing her in pain, Ye Xiyao felt a pang of pity. If she hadn't gone to find her, that incident wouldn't have happened.
Ye Yaoyao, inside, frowned as she listened to Tang Xue's accusations.
"Xue... I never expected you to..."
[Hmph! Tang Xue? What reason does she have to blame her sister? She only went to find someone because she wanted to marry her brother. It wasn't her sister's doing. She can't even protect herself, yet she has the nerve to blame others.]
The Tang family is a bunch of scoundrels. Instead of causing trouble for the Chu family, they first hired someone to kill someone and then tried to morally blackmail them.
You got engaged to your older brother, but then you turned down on him and put him down. You deserve to marry Chu Hao.
Upon hearing Ye Yaoyao's thoughts, Ye Xiyao instantly snapped out of her daze, took a deep breath, and said firmly:
"Xue, I didn't know you were coming to see me, nor did I know who that person wanted to harm. I also sympathize with your situation. Marriage is not something I can control."
Even your Tang family wouldn't agree. The Crown Prince Chu was just drunk that day. After you two are married, you might become a loving and harmonious couple.
Tang Xue stared at her intently, unable to believe that Ye Xiyao would say such a thing: "Ye Xiyao, how could you be so heartless!"
"Xue, I have never owed you anything," Ye Xiyao said firmly.
Ye Yaoyao walked out, staring sharply at her with disdain in her eyes, and sneered:
"Tang Xue, stop playing the victim here. You brought this all on yourself. You went to my sister with ulterior motives."
"You have the nerve to blame my sister after something happened? What right do you have to say she's the one who ruined you?"
Tang Xue stared at Ye Yaoyao, her teeth grinding together, her expression ferocious.
“That person was trying to harm Ye Xiyao. If it weren’t for my appearance, she would be the one marrying Chu Hao now.”
"Heh! That's what you think. I can find my sister myself, why should I rely on you?"
You're so sure it's because of my sister that she's suffering; it seems you know the truth behind it all.
What? You have the time and energy to blame an innocent person, but not the guts to seek revenge on the culprit!
Ye Yaoyao crossed her arms, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
This morning, news spread from the palace that Consort Yu had fallen out of favor and been demoted to the rank of Beauty. It seems that the Chu family will no longer be able to enjoy her wealth and honor!
[Unable to defy her family's arrangements, she ran away here in a mad rage, even wanting to become her elder brother's concubine—utterly delusional.]
"You...you two sisters are in cahoots."
Tang Xue was surprised to find Ye Yaoyao inside; news of her had recently spread throughout the capital.
She kept thinking that if Ye Yaoyao could find Ye Xiyao, she must have seen her back then, and she was convinced that the Ye sisters would stand by and watch someone die.
Their eyes were filled with resentment.
"Xue, now that you know the truth behind it, the marriage between your two families is an unchangeable fact. Don't think too much about it, and just live a good life from now on."
Thinking of their past relationship, Ye Xiyao gently tried to persuade her.
"Ye Xiyao, I don't need you to come here pretending to be kind. I've misjudged you."
"Miss Tang, you should know what your Tang family did to my young lady!"
"Miss, you're being kind; don't be ungrateful."
Fuya couldn't stand it anymore and retorted.
Seeing that Tang Xue remained unmoved, Ye Xiyao's face also turned cold, and her previous gentle tone disappeared.
"Miss Tang, this is the last time I will see you. I hope you will take good care of yourself in the future."
"Ye Xiyao, we'll see. You can't be so lucky in everything."
Tang Xue glared at them resentfully, then turned and left the private room.
[Tang Xue is probably the one who sold my sister to a brothel.]
"Sister, you need to be more careful with this person in the future."
"Yes! I will." Ye Xiyao's expression was gloomy, and she clenched her hands tightly.
"The food is still warm, let's eat quickly. Hmm! Chef Wang's cooking skills are still pretty good."
Ye Yaoyao had lunch and praised the chef's skills at her family's restaurant.
In this day and age, oil is expensive, so ordinary people eat very little of it when cooking, and even high-ranking officials and wealthy people don't use it much.
Even Ye Yaoyao, who advocates for low-oil diets, can enjoy it.
"Miss, someone from the manor has come looking for you. They say Doctor Han has returned." Fu Ling, who was coming from the kitchen, happened to run into the person and quickly informed them.
"Grandpa Han has been gone for over a month and is finally back. I'm going to see him now." Ye Yaoyao stood up and was about to leave.
"Oh no! Grandpa Han just got back, let's go tomorrow."
Mother's health is fine. Let Grandpa Han rest first, and we'll discuss her condition tomorrow.
"Little sister, I'll go with you tomorrow."
"also."
The two left the restaurant, and Lu Yuanyou, who was waiting at the door, walked over.
"Miss Ye." Lu Yuanyou's voice was a little nervous, and his eyes revealed a hint of expectation.
"Young Master Lu, please have some self-respect."
Fu Ya stood in front of Ye Xiyao, looking wary.
"I'm sorry, I've been waiting here to apologize for my previous reckless remarks."
Lu Yuanyou bowed deeply, his expression sincere.
“Young Master Lu, I had no other intentions. Please be mindful of your words and actions in the future. We need to go back now, so please excuse us.”
Ye Xiyao turned slightly to the side, her tone indifferent.
"Wait, there's something else I want to ask. Do you remember when we met two years ago?"
"Young Master Lu, this is the first time I've met you. You must have mistaken me for someone else!"
Hearing him say this, Ye Xiyao looked him over carefully and realized she had never seen him before, so she shook her head in denial.
“Miss Ye, think about it carefully. I was drunk at the time and almost crashed into your carriage. You didn’t blame me then, and you even told me not to get drunk in the future to avoid accidents.”
Lu Yuanyou looked anxious, trying hard to evoke Ye Xiyao's memories.
“Young Master Lu, you have really mistaken me for someone else. I did not experience this back in Changping Town.”
Ye Xiyao remained resolute and denied it again.
He wasn't wrong; he really was almost hit by the Ye family's carriage two years ago. Could it be that the woman who stopped him from being a spoiled brat was his sister?
Ye Yaoyao sensed there was some gossip going on, so she listened quietly from the side.
“Miss Ye, you must have forgotten that you told me you are a young lady of the Ye family and came back with your father to pay respects to our ancestors.”
"Our family did indeed return to our hometown to pay respects to our ancestors two years ago. What are you trying to say, Young Master Lu?"
Ye Xiyao frowned slightly. At that time, she was feeling unwell due to the long journey and may have really forgotten. She didn't understand what the person in front of her wanted to do.
"I...I..." Lu Yuanyou stammered, his ears turning bright red.
Wow! A young man in love! His ears are all red.
Ye Yaoyao looked at Lu Yuanyou with great interest, secretly smiling to herself.
