Chapter 792: What are you going to do at Prince Ren’s Palace?
Ye Qingtong was stunned, and the hand holding Mu Shi became a little stiff.
Mu didn't pay attention to this detail, but continued to talk to her: "I have told you many times what should and shouldn't be said. You can't just consider yourself when doing things now, you have to consider one more person."
Ye Qingtong smiled and put her hand down, "Mother, I know everything. I will take Xiangdong with me. Don't worry, mother, I won't hurt Er... myself. This body will keep her intact." After that, he said to Xiangdong, "Let's go!"
Xiangdong glanced at Mu and followed Ye Qingtong silently.
Madam Mu stood there, watching the two people walking further and further away, with one hand covering her heart, feeling particularly uncomfortable. Dannuo had just stood farther away, and Madam Mu spoke softly, so she didn't hear anything. But seeing the second young lady leave, the first lady felt a little reluctant, so she stepped forward and said, "The second young lady is getting closer to us now, which is a good thing. She has changed her personality and is willing to go out more, which is also a good thing. Madam, don't worry, no one in the inner city of Lin'an dares to make things difficult for her."
Mu snorted, "What do you know? Even if no one is against her, she rides the horse and whips it every day, which can easily hurt...herself. She is my flesh and blood, and I don't want to see her torment my flesh to pieces."
Danno felt that the eldest lady's words were too harsh. Even if she rode outside every day, she would not be beaten to a pulp. At most, she would just wear out her butt. But the second young lady didn't care. What was the eldest lady worried about?
She thought so in her heart, but could not say it out loud, so she could only agree with Madam Mu and said, "Yes, Madam, please advise me more later."
Madam Mu didn't want to wait to persuade her again, but told Dannuo: "Go to the stables and tell them not to prepare a horse for the second young lady alone. She must take a carriage when she goes out, and she is not allowed to ride a horse anymore."
"Ma'am." Danno felt that this was a bit too much, "The Second Miss has her own ideas."
"It's her business if she has her own ideas. I still have the final say in this mansion."
Dannuo had no choice but to trot all the way to the stable. She heard that the stable staff had already prepared the horses and were leading them to the gate of the mansion, so she immediately ran to the gate. Fortunately, the second young lady had just taken over the reins and had not yet mounted the horse.
She hurriedly said, "Miss, please stay!" Then she ran forward panting and told Madam Mu what she had said, "Madam doesn't allow Miss to ride a horse, saying that she's afraid... afraid of something going wrong. Miss, you should take a carriage!" After saying that, she looked at Xiangdong, "Since Miss Xiangdong is going with you, you should take a carriage, and you can't ride a horse well."
Xiang Dong wanted to say that you were overthinking, the Second Miss had no intention of taking me with her, and that she was just doing it for Madam to see. But she didn't say it in the end. She looked at Ye Qingtong, and saw that Ye Qingtong was so angry that she laughed, "How much do you care about your body? You're afraid of getting hurt even when riding a horse. My riding skills are very good, what is mother worried about? Oh, worried about rubbing your legs? That's all!"
She threw away the reins and said to the servants, "Let's change the carriage! Remember to make the bed thicker so that the second young lady of the Ye family won't have her legs rubbed while sitting. Also prepare some refreshments so that the second young lady of the Ye family won't get thirsty or hungry."
The servants thought that the Second Young Miss was really funny. Aren’t you the Second Young Miss of the Ye Family? Why do you keep calling her the Second Young Miss of the Ye Family? It sounds like you are talking about someone else.
But even though he complained in his heart, he quickly did what Ye Qingtong asked him to do.
After the carriages were all laid out and the refreshments were laid out, Ye Qingtong said to Dannuo, "Watch me and Xiangdong get on the carriage, and then go back and report to the lady! Tell her everything you saw, so she won't worry."
Danno nodded, "Okay, Second Miss, you must come back soon!"
Ye Qingtong ignored her, got into the carriage and shouted "go", and the coachman immediately whipped the horse and drove away.
Dannuo sighed, she knew that the second young lady was unhappy. But she had no choice. The lady's temper had become worse in the past few months, and she watched her daughter more and more closely. She had tried to persuade her many times but there was no improvement, so she simply stopped trying.
I hope the relationship won’t be the same as before. She, a servant, doesn’t want to live that kind of life again.
In Ye Qingtong's carriage, Xiang Dong whispered about her feelings: "In the lady's heart, she always cares more about the one she lost. When you were gone, the lady missed you more. Now that the second young lady is gone, she must miss her more. What's more, the second young lady was not raised by her since she was a child, and she always felt that she owed that daughter a lot, so..."
"So now she's torturing me." Ye Qingtong was angry and helpless. "At first I thought she had accepted this reality and could live a good life. I thought I would give her the filial piety that my second sister and I had given her, and we could live a good life together in the future. Isn't that better than anything else? But you've seen her attitude in the past few months. She just treats me like a nobody, as if I'm her enemy. Does she think I'm the murderer of her second daughter?"
Ye Qingtong was particularly upset. "I know I shouldn't say such things. After all, she is my mother and has treated me very well since I was a child. I used to be so lucky to have a good mother. I even boasted to others about how open-minded my mother was, but I didn't expect that she would become like this now. Xiangdong, do you think she is sick? Is she treating me like this because she is sick?"
Xiang Dong thought for a moment and said, "When the Fourth Miss was still in Beijing, she once said that people get sick in many ways. Some are physical, and some are psychological. Physical illnesses are easy to treat, and can be cured by acupuncture or medication. But if it is a mental illness, it is hard to say. I think that the Madam is suffering from a psychological illness now, although everything was fine at the beginning, and everything was normal in the first few days, even much better than before. But as time goes by, it is inevitable to think about this and that. Now that the Fourth Miss is not in Beijing again, maybe for the Madam, there is one less child around, so it is easy to split you into two. As she thinks about you, she thinks of the Second Miss again, and her psychological illness comes back."
"What should I do?" Ye Qingtong was helpless. She couldn't say anything to her own mother, nor could she walk away like Ye Wenyan without any psychological burden. She had to endure it no matter how aggrieved she was. At most, she could complain about her behind her back, but she couldn't say anything to the Mu family. This life was really aggrieved and miserable. She really wanted to learn from Ye Wenyan and just leave.
When thinking about walking, Ye Qingtong thought, if I can’t walk that far, then would it be okay to walk closer?
Around! If there is something wrong at home, I will just ride a horse back.
I was just going out for a walk today and browse the bookstores to see if I could pick up some military books I haven't read yet.
As a result, she suddenly decided not to go to the bookstore, but asked the driver to take a detour to the Renwang Palace. Xiang Dong didn't understand, "Miss, why are you going to the Renwang Palace?"
Ye Qingtong replied: "Going to the Prince Ren's Palace is naturally to see His Majesty the Third Prince. Is there any need to ask?"
"I know you want to see the Third Prince, but the question is, what are you going to do with him? The Second Young Master is not in the capital now, so we have no reason to go to the Prince Ren's Mansion!"
"Do I have to be famous? If I'm not famous, can't I go to his house? Then I went to Prince Su's house without a name, but I went anyway!" Ye Qingtong didn't take it seriously at all. What a joke, she is a witch of the Ye family, where can't she go in the inner city of Lin'an?
Xiang Dong grasped the key point, "Miss, you went to Prince Su's Mansion? When did it happen?"
Ye Qingtong twitched the corner of his mouth, "Just, just yesterday."
"Yesterday? So those books were moved from Prince Su's Mansion and were not bought from the bookstore at all?"
"Since he already has it, why should I spend my own money to buy it?"
"So, young lady, what you mean is that we have to go to the Prince's Palace to move the books today?"
"No, no, no." Ye Qingtong shook her head. "I won't move books today. I want to discuss some serious matters with the Third Prince today."
Xiang Dong wanted to ask, what business do you have? But then she thought again, these young ladies and young masters in the family have indeed been very close to the Third Prince in the past six months. It is said that they are all for the sake of helping the Emperor, and these were all instructed by the Fourth Young Lady before she left.
After thinking about it, she did not stop him, but only reminded Ye Qingtong, "Miss, you went to the Renwang Mansion before, always with the Second Young Master, so even if someone saw you, they would think you were visiting with your brother. But this time we are going alone, if someone sees us, you have to think about how to explain it."
Ye Qingtong snorted, "What's there to explain? A lot of people saw me go to Prince Su's Mansion yesterday, who dared to say anything? Xiangdong, don't stay in the mansion all the time, go out more often, and you'll know when you go out. Now in Lin'an, no one dares to say anything about me. If I know who is talking about me behind my back, I will make his family uneasy."
Xiangdong thought of her master's previous "battle achievements" and stopped talking.
Ye Qingtong laughed twice and said, "Actually, if I go by myself, even if someone says something, it will sound better than saying something about my second brother. After all, I am a woman and the Third Prince is a man, so it is not against common sense. My second brother often goes in and out of the Prince Ren's Palace, so that's called an unauthorized person!"
Xiang Dong thought about it and it was true that the words of the Second Young Master were more unpleasant to hear in Beijing. At first, the Second Young Master was quite careful about the influence, but in the past six months or so, he has not been very careful. Maybe he has let himself go! He is not shy about anything anymore.
Never mind, the masters are all open-minded, why should a maid like her worry about things all day long?
Finally, we arrived at Nio Palace.
The driver stopped the carriage at the gate of the Renwang Palace. The guards of the Renwang Palace saw the word "Ye" written on the sign hanging in front of the carriage, and hurriedly ran forward to greet him and asked, "Excuse me, which master of the Ye family are you?"
