Mo Xiuyao was silent for a moment and then nodded, "I'll send you back."
Ye Li nodded and gave an order to A Jin who was driving the carriage outside. The carriage headed towards the Minister's Manor. Mo Xiuyao looked at Ye Li's calm and relaxed expression and his expression softened a lot. He couldn't help but smile, "Li doesn't seem to be worried at all." Ye Li shrugged and said, "There was nothing to worry about in the first place. But I'm guessing that the matriarch at home is very worried. " If the Ding King's Manor broke off the engagement, the matriarch would probably want to send her to a nunnery to cultivate. Not only would this ruin the Ye family's reputation, it would also cause them to lose the large amount of betrothal gifts from the Prince Ding Mansion. It would be enough for the matriarch and Wang Shi to feel distressed for a long time.
"Nothing will happen. At most in one or two days, this matter will be over."
Ye Li nodded and didn't say anything else. If something really happened to her last night, what would happen? Ye Li didn't ask this question and Mo Xiuyao also didn't mention it. They both had a tacit understanding. Perhaps even if something really happened, Mo Xiuyao would still cover it up and marry her. Perhaps he would kill Han Mingyue. Perhaps Ye Li would kill Han Mingyue herself, but she wouldn't marry him. Who was the mastermind behind the scenes? Mo Xiuyao didn't plan on telling her and she also didn't plan on asking. They were prepared to spend the rest of their lives together, but they didn't plan on treating each other as their most important person. Just like how Ye Li would never think that Mo Xiuyao was more important than her family, in Mo Xiuyao's heart, there was someone more important than her.
At the Ye Manor's entrance, Mo Xiuyao personally saw Ye Li walk in. Only then did he put down the curtain and say to A Jin, "Let's go back."
A Jin silently looked at the slowly closing door and hesitated before asking in a low voice, "Prince, why didn't you tell Miss Ye … …"
"A Jin, let's go back."
"Yes, Prince."
Ye Li had just entered the door when Qing Xia and Qing Shuang, who had been waiting at the side, came up to report that their uncle had come and was waiting to see their young miss. Ye Li was puzzled. "Is it Eldest Uncle or Second Uncle?" He had just returned from the Xu family this morning. Did something happen again?
Qing Shuang said, "The two granduncles are here. She's talking to the old lady in Rongle Hall. "
Ye Li helplessly looked at her clothes and said, "Forget it, let's just go over."
When he entered the Rongle Hall, he saw his two uncles sitting and drinking tea. The Old Madame, Minister Ye, and Madame Wang all sat on the side with a strange look on their faces. Seeing Ye Li enter, Old Madame Ye let out a sigh of relief. She smiled at Ye Li and said, "Li-er, the two uncles specially came to visit you. Why did you run out? Why haven't you come over to greet them?" Ye Li obeyed and went forward to greet them. Xu Hongyu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Li-er just came back from the Xu family today. There's no special visit." Xu Hongyan also nodded with a sullen face and said, "That's right. Eldest Brother and I had something to tell Li-er yesterday, so we took her over. We didn't expect that she would cause so much trouble. It's our Xu family that didn't think it through. "
Old Madame Ye and Minister Ye looked at each other awkwardly. Although Xu Hongyan said that it was the Xu family's fault, how could they not hear the blame for the Ye family? After the rumor spread, the Ye family did nothing. They even sent someone to the Xu family to ask about it. How could the Xu family not feel bitterly disappointed? But Old Madame Ye looked at the slim and graceful young girl in front of her and still couldn't make up her mind. She really couldn't tell whether Ye Li really went to the Xu family yesterday or was kidnapped by bandits like the rumor said. If something really happened to him, then …
Xu Hongyan looked at Old Madam Ye and Minister Ye and snorted in dissatisfaction. Xu Hongyu, who was beside him, glanced at him and smiled at Ye Li, "Didn't you say that Li 'er went out with Miss Hua and Miss Qin? When uncle came over, I heard that the two young ladies from the Qin family and Hua family were dragged by General Murong's daughter to cause trouble for second young master Leng. Could it be that Li-er also went to cause trouble? " Ye Li didn't expect Murong Ting to cause such a ruckus. She quickly shook her head and said, "Li-er and Prince Ding went to Fenghua Building and met Zhaoyang Eldest Princess and Zhaoren Eldest Princess. Then they came back. It's Li-er's fault for making uncle wait for so long. "
"Oh? Went to Fenghua Building with Prince Ding? It's okay. It's not a bad thing for young people to walk around. "Xu Hongyu was obviously very satisfied with Ye Li's answer. Xu Hongyan also nodded and casually complained, "Your aunt often reminds Qingze to accompany Miss Qin to go out for a walk. That kid just has to be a blockhead. It's as if saying half a word more will make him suffer!" Ye Li thought of Xu Qingze's cold expression and couldn't help but smile. Zheng 'er was obviously the most gentle and pleasant one among them, but she had a cold and serious fiancé. They had been in the capital for so long. It seemed that other than the time when second aunt sent a gift to the Qin family, the two hadn't officially met.
Without looking at Minister Ye and Old Madame Ye's changing expressions, Xu Hongyu directly turned to Minister Ye and said, "I have something to tell Li-er alone. I don't know …" Minister Ye had always been afraid of this brother-in-law. He didn't dare to say no. He quickly said, "Then Li-er will take eldest brother and second brother to your courtyard to sit. Later, brother will prepare a banquet. Two brothers, please come. " Xu Hongyan got up and said indifferently, "Eldest brother has an appointment with Old Su to play a few rounds tonight. There's no need for a banquet." Seeing Xu Hongyu's indifferent expression, Minister Ye had to give up and let Ye Li invite the two uncles to talk in private. Old Madame Ye looked at her son's useless appearance and glared at him with dissatisfaction. Unfortunately, the current patriarch of the Xu family had too much power and had to give up.
Returning to Qing Yi Xuan, Xu Hongyan looked at the decorations inside and outside. He nodded with satisfaction and turned to go out, leaving the room for his eldest brother and niece to talk.
"Eldest uncle and second uncle came specially. Do you have something important to tell Li-er?" Ye Li asked Xu Hongyu to sit down and personally poured tea while asking.
Xu Hongyu looked at her and smiled, "It seems that Li-er's complexion is good. You're not affected by those rumors. Is that so? "
Ye Li served tea and just sat down. She smiled helplessly and said, "Rumors are everywhere. We have to live. What's more, the situation now is much better than what we originally thought. "
Xu Hongyu looked at her seriously and said, "Then, if the situation is worse than what you originally thought, what will you do? Being able to escape unscathed last night was indeed very lucky. But if something really happened … … Li-er, have you thought about it? " Ye Li silently looked at the clear tea in front of her and nodded, "Li-er has made uncle worry. But … … no matter what happens, I still have to live. Li-er may not be afraid of death, but as long as there is hope, I will definitely live. At least, I won't die because of the rumors. "Speaking to here, Ye Li couldn't help but bite the corner of her lips. Even in the Da Chu State, where the customs were still open, a woman's chastity was still far more important than life. She didn't know if her eldest uncle could accept her words, but these were her heartfelt words. Ye Li definitely wouldn't give up her life for a mistake that didn't belong to her.
