"Haha, Xiuyao, we haven't seen each other in so many years. I didn't expect to see you again under such circumstances. It's really … a pity. " Even though the handsome man was dressed in the rough clothes of a bandit, he still gave off the impression of a distinguished and elegant young master. However, the slightly fawning expression on his face made people feel slightly uncomfortable. "You must have said that I would come all the way here to congratulate you on your wedding. It seems like you still don't welcome old friends."
"Your congratulations are to kidnap my fiancée?" Mo Xiuyao's voice was deep and pleasant. Ye Li, who was standing behind him, unconsciously pulled her cloak closer.
"It's a misunderstanding." Han Mingyue said helplessly with a bitter expression, "I didn't know that the person I was going to kidnap was your fiancée. However, I've already accepted the deal. If I can't complete it, how can I, Han Mingyue, keep my reputation and face? I've already tried my best to minimize the loss. Now, I've completed the deal and your fiancée is safe and sound. "Moreover, I've been tricked by her. I'm the one who's losing out, okay?
"Who paid for it?" Mo Xiuyao stared at her and asked.
"I can't say." Han Mingyue smiled bitterly.
Mo Xiuyao sneered, "Han Mingyue, as long as there's money, is there anything you don't dare to sell other than your brother?"
Han Mingyue sighed. The expression on her face became even more bitter. She looked at Mo Xiuyao and said, "There's always one or two things that I can't sell no matter what. Moreover, Mingxi was dealt with badly by you this time. Xiuyao, for my sake, can you not pursue the matter this time? I promise there won't be a next time. " Mo Xiuyao's expression darkened. Han Mingyue stomped her feet and said, "We'll send ten percent of the Tianyi Pavilion's profits this year to my sister-in-law!"
"Han Mingyue, you're too nervous." Mo Xiuyao raised his hand and touched the mask on his face.
Han Mingyue froze, and a trace of annoyance flashed across her face. How could he forget that Mo Xiuyao knew him too well? If he didn't appear so nervous, it would be difficult for Mo Xiuyao to determine his target. "Xiuyao, I'm begging you …"
After looking deeply at Han Mingyue's pleading face for a while, Mo Xiuyao spat out these two words, "Scram."
In the face of such rude treatment, Han Mingyue's face was filled with joy. "I will definitely send an apology gift to sister-in-law's residence within three days!"
Mo Xiuyao's reply was to raise his hand slightly, "Black Cloud Cavalry, fire!"
The people who were originally standing around in a semicircle, wrapped in black clothes and wearing black headscarves, had unknowingly grabbed their bows and arrows. Draw the bow and release the arrow — —
Han Mingyue could only helplessly fall down the cliff. "Mo Xiuyao, you're ruthless!"
Han Mingyue's pitiful cries disappeared from the cliff. Ye Li blinked and lowered her head to look at Mo Xiuyao. She wasn't sure if Han Mingyue was still hiding his strength. At the very least, even if she was in her best condition, there was no way she would be fine after falling down from here. As if he knew her doubts, Mo Xiuyao explained, "Han Mingyue likes to leave a backup plan behind. He definitely has some arrangements below. He won't die from the fall. "Ye Li frowned. So her threat to throw him down was not a threat at all. As expected, it was easy to make mistakes if you didn't understand your enemy. Know yourself and know your enemy, and you won't be defeated in a hundred battles. The War Saint didn't lie to me.
"Let's go back." Mo Xiuyao reached out his hand and said softly.
"Okay."
In the other courtyard of the Xu fu, she finally managed to get rid of her two uncles and five cousins with great difficulty. On one hand, Ye Li felt that dealing with so many people at the same time was a bit of a headache. At the same time, she could feel the uncontrollable warmth and joy of being cared for by her family. Mo Xiuyao sat to the side and silently looked at the young girl sitting across from him. He suddenly found that he didn't understand his fiancée at all. In reality, his fiancée wasn't even sixteen yet, but she was unexpectedly strong, decisive and mature. What was he doing when he was fifteen or sixteen? Mo Xiuyao rarely thought about the past, but looking at the young girl's faint smile in front of him, he felt that it wasn't that painful to think about the past.
When he was fifteen or sixteen, he was in the prime of his youth. Riding a horse in the capital, he was frivolous and wanton. Who in the world didn't know that the Young Master of the Ding King's household was a young hero? Who in the world didn't know that the Young General of the Ding King's household had swept through the southern border like a god at a young age? Even on the bloody battlefield, he was still in high spirits, his words and actions unrestrained. But when this young girl was fifteen years old, she had already experienced things that most girls would never experience in their lifetime. Losing her mother at a young age, breaking off the engagement, being schemed against by her stepmother, a dismal reputation, a marriage that everyone was afraid of, being plotted against, being kidnapped. But he had never seen her panicked appearance before. Even after encountering this kind of situation today, she didn't cry or get angry after escaping danger. She even smiled and said sorry to him for making him worry. If he was in her position, he definitely wouldn't be able to be this calm at her age. Mo Xiuyao sighed in his heart.
"Li, I'm very sorry about today's matter." After a long time, Mo Xiuyao said in a soft voice.
Ye Li looked up at him and smiled, "This isn't something you can control. I was too careless. But … … tomorrow in the capital, I'm afraid … … I'm afraid it will affect the Ding King's household's reputation. "
Mo Xiuyao looked at her, his eyes deep and unfathomable, "I have the final say in the Ding King's household, as long as you don't regret it."
Ye Li blinked and instantly understood what he meant. He had the final say in the Ding King's household, so no matter what her reputation became, it wouldn't affect their marriage. Was it like this? Tilting her head to think, Ye Li helplessly smiled and said, "I think if I regret it … … I probably won't be able to get married in this lifetime. Then how about … … we make do? "
Mo Xiuyao's lips curled into a hard to see curve, "That's for the best. I also feel that if you regret it, it won't be easy for me to find a suitable princess in this lifetime. "
Ye Li looked at him with a smile and said, "Since the Prince doesn't mind, then let's make do."
Seeing the young girl sitting in front of the window turn around and smile at him, saying let's make do, Mo Xiuyao suddenly felt his heart sway. Under the candlelight, the young girl's slightly pale face seemed to glow faintly, making one's heart skip a beat. Mo Xiuyao quickly moved away and supported his forehead with his hand, saying, "Han Mingyue will probably send you something in the next two days. Don't worry about him, just accept it."
Ye Li said in surprise, "Will he really give me ten percent of the Tianyi Pavilion's income?" The Tianyi Pavilion was the largest intelligence organization in Da Chu State. Even ten percent of the income from selling all kinds of information every year was absolutely shocking.
Mo Xiuyao nodded and looked at Ye Li, wanting to say something, but hesitated.
Ye Li said with a smile, "There's no need to talk about today's matter. Since you've already agreed to Han Mingyue. Although I'm not sure how powerful the Tianyi Pavilion and the Wind and Moon Pavilion are, I don't really want to be enemies with him. However, this is the only time. If that person makes any moves in the future and falls into my hands. I won't accept his pleading. "
"Of course." After a moment of silence, Mo Xiuyao looked seriously at Ye Li and promised, "Since Miss Li doesn't regret it, then you and I are family in the future. Anyone who wants to hurt Miss Li is my enemy. "
