Ouyang Wu left Ye Chonghua and returned to the mansion soon. She knew very well what would happen if she was found out after not returning for a night.
As soon as she arrived at the yard, she saw Ah Xiu's pale face. Ah Xiu pulled her sleeve and looked up and down: "Where did you go this morning? Ah Xiu was really scared."
So this girl thought she had just gone out in the morning? Very good, very good, otherwise she would have to explain again.
She went to the Sun Mansion to steal last night, and only one night had passed, but in her opinion, the night she was alone in a room with Ye Chonghua seemed to have passed longer than her previous life.
Holding the fragrant tea brewed by Ah Xiu, Ouyang Wu's eyes flashed with a cunning, but she pretended to be ignorant and asked: "Did Madam and Miss Three and Miss Four send anyone over?"
A Xiu's face showed an excited smile, her little face flushed, and she whispered in Ouyang Wu's ear: "Miss, Madam and her friends don't have time to take care of you now, they are in big trouble."
"Oh?" Ouyang Wu pretended to be surprised and inquired about gossip: "What's going on? What trouble did they encounter?"
"Miss, you don't know, someone from the Sun Mansion came to the door early this morning, and I don't know that person told Madam What, the lady fainted directly. "A Xiu's eyes flashed with a touch of gloating emotion, she continued, "I asked the doctor to finally wake up the lady, but after waking up, the lady kept throwing tantrums in the room, crying or making a fuss, the situation was very scary."
"Really? That's really interesting." Ouyang Wu's slender white fingers held the fragrant tea, and the rising mist blocked the bright eyes, "By the way, go out and ask around to see what happened."
"Okay, I'll go out and take a look." After receiving Ouyang Wu's order, A Xiu ran out with a smile on her face.
Not long after, A Xiu came back with great interest and brought back the latest gossip to Ouyang Wu: "Miss, everyone outside is saying that the Sun Mansion was robbed!"
"It's just a robbed, what's there for the lady to make a fuss about?" Ouyang Wu pretended to be puzzled.
"Miss, you don't know. It is said that..." Ah Xiu whispered in Ouyang Wu's ear, "A large number of treasures looted from the northwest were lost in the Sun Mansion. Now it is spreading like wildfire outside. It is said that when General Sun was in the northwest, he levied heavy taxes, burned, killed and robbed, and found a treasure!"
Seeing Ah Xiu's solemn oath, Ouyang Wu couldn't help but laugh. What treasures were lost in the Sun Mansion, besides the general of the Sun Mansion, Ouyang Wu knew it best. She can say with certainty that there were no treasures, but there were really burning, killing and robbing.
However, at this time, if such news was released, wouldn't the Sun Mansion be in a very passive situation?
If they flatly denied that there was no large amount of wealth, wouldn't it be a matter of swallowing their anger?
If they admitted that there was a large amount of wealth, how would the emperor let Sun Bingyi live?
The person who spread this statement has a grudge against the Sun Mansion, right? This is not a conspiracy, but a naked conspiracy. He put this dilemma in front of Sun Bingyi, making it difficult for him to admit it, and even more difficult for him not to admit it.
What a clever trick. Ouyang Wu knew that this rumor was not out of thin air. She could smell that there was a pusher behind the scenes, strategizing and winning thousands of miles away.
Ye Chonghua's cold and noble face suddenly appeared in her mind, and Ouyang Wu suddenly had a flash of doubt in her heart: Could the person behind the scenes be him?
But it was just a suspicion, and she didn't have the courage to run over and ask in person. She decided to stay away from Ye Chonghua, a dangerous man, because standing in front of him, she felt a sense of frustration she had never had before.
Ouyang Wu had a peaceful life. During these days, because the Sun family had swallowed their anger and insisted that they had only lost a few thousand taels of silver, the rumors gradually stopped.
One day, after Ah Xiu came back from outside, she couldn't hide the excitement in her eyes.
"Just say whatever you want to say. Isn't it uncomfortable to hold it in?" Ouyang Wu looked at her unhappily.
A Xiu's expression suddenly became lively, and she said incessantly: "Miss, do you know? The Second Prince Ye of Xiling Kingdom came to our Eastern Jin Dynasty, saying that he came to ask for marriage!"
"The Second Prince Ye?" Ouyang Wu shook her head, indicating that she had never heard of it and was not interested.
"Miss, you can't have forgotten who the Second Prince Ye is, right?" A Xiu looked at her master with sympathy, her eyes full of pity.
"Is he great? Why should I remember him?" Ouyang Wu thought A Xiu's expression was funny.
"Alas, Miss, when you were obsessed with King Huai'an, you said that the best person in the world must be the Second Prince Ye of Xiling State, and even King Huai'an couldn't compare to him. You said that yourself!" Ah Xiu reminded Ouyang Wu deliberately, "Second Prince Ye is truly a dragon among men, with both literary and military skills, and he is omnipotent. Moreover, he is also the legendary God of War in Mobei. The bear tribe that troubled Xiling State for hundreds of years was defeated by him. Everyone says that Xiling State has the status of the leader of the four countries today, all because the old emperor of Xiling State gave birth to such a good son!" "Really?" Ouyang Wu was slightly interested. Being able to support half of a country with his own strength, the Second Prince Ye is indeed a talent. "Yes, yes, how could you forget it, miss? Not only the Princess of Nanfeng who has a broken finger, but also the Princess Fenghua of Beihua, who is known as a cold beauty, fell in love with the Second Prince Ye at first sight and felt distressed at the second sight." Ah Xiu said excitedly, her face flushed, "But this Second Prince Ye is dismissive of all women and doesn't even look at them!"
"Is he that powerful? What's the name of the Second Prince Ye?" Ouyang Wu asked casually.
"Ye Feibai, his name is Ye Feibai——" Ah Xiu said with a smile, "There is almost no one in our entire continent who doesn't know this name."
Ye Feibai? If I have a chance, I'd like to see him for myself.
