"Aiya, Li Li! Prince Ding is here! " Just as they were feeling depressed, they heard Murong Ting's loud voice not far behind them. Everyone on the second floor could hear it. Everyone looked up and saw Murong Ting excitedly lying on the windowsill and looking down. Qin Zheng helplessly pulled her down and turned to Ye Li with a smile. "Li 'er, go down and pick up Prince." Hua Tianxiang covered her mouth and snickered. She waved her hand and teased, "It doesn't matter if he doesn't come back. We will go shopping after eating the snacks. Anyway, there is no extra seat for Prince Ding."
Hearing this, the few remaining guests on the second floor began to regret choosing to sit closer to the inside because they were afraid of Prince Li's cold air. Now, they could only perk up their ears and try their best to listen to the girls at the table in the corner. Ye Li saw this and couldn't help but laugh. Gossiping was indeed an indispensable nature for people of the same era. Under the direct and obscure gazes of the crowd, Ye Li got up and walked downstairs. When she passed by Mo Jingli's table, she could clearly feel Mo Jingli's fierce glare. Ye Li was helpless. Some people were born to be at odds with each other and couldn't be forced.
Seeing Third Miss Ye calmly go downstairs, the diners upstairs looked at Mo Jingli with more complicated eyes and expressions. Seeing Third Miss Ye so calmly appear in public and calmly go to Prince Ding's appointment, it really didn't seem like something had happened. On the other hand, Prince Li's face was gloomy and ferocious. It was clearly like he was angry that his conspiracy didn't succeed. People secretly exchanged glances and made silent discussions. Mo Jingli finally seemed to be unable to bear this strange atmosphere. He put the teacup back on the table heavily, stood up, and looked through the half-open window at the street downstairs. He turned around and went downstairs with a sullen face.
The moment Ye Li came down from upstairs, the entire lobby instantly quieted down. When Ye Li walked out with a gentle smile on her face, everyone was about to open their mouths to discuss when they saw Mo Jingli's gloomy face. Then, there was another period of silence. But after seeing how the two of them acted, at least the people present were more inclined to sympathize with Ye Li.
When Ye Li walked out of the teahouse, the Prince Ding Mansion's carriage had just stopped. A 'Jin was about to lift the curtain to invite Mo Xiuyao down. "Xiuyao." Ye Li softly called out. When A' Jin saw Ye Li, he respectfully stood to the side. Ye Li nimbly stepped onto the low stool and got into the carriage. Mo Xiuyao looked at her and raised his eyebrows. "Why did you get down?" Ye Li sat down across from him and said with a smile, "Tian Xiang and the others said that there was no place to sit because there were too many people, so they chased me out. It's all their fault. I originally wanted to go to the Prince Ding Mansion again tomorrow. "
Mo Xiuyao smiled. "Their fault is very timely."
"What do you mean?" Ye Li asked in confusion. Outside, A 'Jin had already started driving the carriage forward again. Ye Li thought for a moment, then poked her head out to give a name. She just happened to see Mo Jingli standing at the entrance of the teahouse, his eyes gloomy as he looked at their carriage. Mo Xiuyao said, "This morning, the entire capital was spreading the rumors that Jing Li deliberately spread yesterday to embarrass you."
Ye Li was stunned. She kind of understood why Mo Jingli's expression was so ugly. With Mo Jingli's personality, it would be strange if he felt comfortable being wronged. Thinking of Mu Rongting's confident guess, it wasn't just her imagination.
"Is there something that Li wants to talk to me about?" Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li's dazed face and asked.
Ye Li came back to her senses and nodded her head. "This morning, Han Mingyue sent over twenty thousand taels in gold notes, ten thousand taels in silver notes and a pair of jade pendants. I originally wanted to bring it with me when I go to the Prince Ding Mansion tomorrow, but it's not good to bring it with me when I go out with Tian Xiang and the others. "Mo Xiuyao didn't care as he shook his head and said," That's a gift from him. Just keep it. " Ye Li was speechless. A few hundred thousand taels in one go. Han Mingyue dared to give it to her, but she was too embarrassed to accept it. "I'll have someone send it to the Prince Ding Mansion tomorrow. You can do as you see fit. I have enough money to spend. " Mo Xiuyao sighed helplessly. "Li … … Han Mingyue sent it to you, so it's yours. You can rest assured. You don't have to feel that you owe him any favors. Han Mingyue, that kind of person, would feel heartache if he spent an extra tael of silver. He was willing to send it over to you as an apology gift because he felt that it was worth it. You don't have to promise him anything. "
Ye Li smiled and said, "I really don't have any plans to promise him anything." Ye Li secretly guessed that Han Mingyue must have done something to let Mo Xiuyao down. This time, he was involved in this kind of matter again. She didn't expect that Mo Xiuyao would let him off so easily. Han Mingyue probably felt guilty or guilty, but he couldn't find a way to make up for it. That's why he didn't care about the cost and tried to curry favor with her. It was a pity that Ye Li didn't plan on doing anything that would trigger the flower of friendship between former good friends. So Han Mingyue's money was probably wasted.
"So you asked me out today for this matter?" Mo Xiuyao asked.
Hearing Mo Xiuyao's low and pleasant voice, Ye Li, who was thinking about something, felt her heart jump. She said embarrassedly, "It's really nothing big. Sorry to disturb you?" Seeing that Mo Xiuyao didn't seem to be interested in the things that Han Mingyue sent over, Ye Li couldn't help but be curious about how wealthy the Ding Palace was.
"I'm usually very idle." Mo Xiuyao shook his head. "Since we're already out, can you accompany me to a place?"
Ye Li nodded. "I'm not very familiar with the capital. You can make the decision."
After getting Ye Li's permission, Mo Xiuyao instructed A Jin, who was driving the carriage. A Jin immediately turned the carriage in another direction.
In the carriage, Ye Li asked curiously, "Fenghua Building? You're not planning on giving me any jewelry, right? I have a jewelry store that specializes in jewelry. "
Mo Xiuyao smiled at her, "Isn't it normal to give your fiancée jewelry? Can't it be? "
Ye Li kept her mouth shut. Could she say that he didn't care about visiting her Treasure Pavilion? Fertile water doesn't flow into ten thousand fields? Even if she hadn't been in a relationship before, she knew that these words would spoil the mood. But … … was Mo Xiuyao trying to curry favor with her? Ye Li felt a strange irritation in her heart. But looking at Mo Xiuyao's gentle and calm expression, she couldn't tell what he was thinking. Ye Li could only helplessly give up. Wasn't it a happy thing to have a man who wasn't hateful and was her future husband giving her jewelry to curry favor with her?
Fenghua Building was a very famous jewelry store in the capital. Most of the jewelry they sold was jade. The reason why it was loved by the noble ladies of the capital wasn't just because of its high price and exquisite products. More importantly, the jewelry sold here was never the same. Every style was unique. This made the noble ladies who didn't like the same things as others particularly fond of this store. Ye Li had once considered going down the same high-end route in Hidden Treasure Pavilion, but unfortunately, Hidden Treasure Pavilion didn't have a very outstanding designer and sculptor. Ye Li herself only had a smattering of knowledge about the so-called jewelry design, so she could only helplessly give up.
After entering Fenghua Building, the shopkeeper immediately came up to greet them. Even when he saw Mo Xiuyao in a wheelchair, he was only momentarily stunned. Then he revealed a polite smile and greeted them. "So it's Prince Ding and Ye San Xiaojie. Your presence at Fenghua Building brings light to our humble store. Prince, Ye Xiaojie, please come in. "
