Chapter 390: Bundle up with rope 390 times Chapter 390: Bundle up with rope 390 times Ye Jiu picked up a cup from the table and filled it with cold water, then splashed it directly onto Ye Gaosheng’s face.
This Ye Gaosheng, truly made her both angry and heartbroken.
What infuriated her was that he had so easily believed the people from the Liu Family, leading himself into such a wretched state; yet, what broke her heart was that he dragged along a broken leg, still not forgetting to inquire about her wellbeing.
A cup of cold water showed no mercy as it hit his face, and Ye Gaosheng slowly came to, looking at Ye Jiu’s bloodshot eyes, he guiltily lowered his head without a word.
“In a while, the waiter will bring some hot water, let Wenzheng help you clean up properly. Behave yourself, and don’t think about leaving, or next time it won’t be as simple as just knocking you out. I’ll tie you up with ropes,” Ye Jiu threatened.
As the waiter carried the hot water into the room, Ye Jiu finally stepped out, allowing Ye Gaosheng to clean himself up properly.
When the waiter came out, Ye Jiu tossed out a silver and withdrew it back just as he reached out to catch it, “I am new to the capital city, and not quite familiar with it. I wonder if the waiter could give me some introduction?”
The waiter knew that these situations generally meant someone wanted to ask about something.
Facing such a generous customer as Ye Jiu, the waiter earned more silver coins in a moment than he had in several months; naturally, he fawned over Ye Jiu, “I grew up in the capital city from a young age and know quite a bit about many things. Whatever the young master wishes to ask, just speak, and I shall leave nothing unsaid.”
Only then did Ye Jiu weigh the silver in her hand, placing it directly into the waiter’s hand, “I have a younger sister who took a fancy to the third son of the Imperial Merchant Liu Family at first sight. I would like to inquire about the Liu Family’s situation. Anything will do, just speak casually.”
“Ah, the Liu Family, they’re not ordinary Imperial Merchants. If the young master’s family background is substantial, then perhaps your sister might have some chance, but if it’s just ordinary, it would be better to let go of that idea sooner rather than later,” the waiter said expertly.
“Oh?” Ye Jiu asked with curiosity, “How is the Liu Family… out of the ordinary?”
“Well, the family background of the Liu Family itself is nothing special; they are called Imperial Merchants, but in essence, they are still merchants, and naturally, they can’t compare with those officials and nobles. But what’s extraordinary is that the Liu Family has married a Princess Consort. Miss Liu became the consort of Prince Jing, and Prince Jing is the direct bloodline of the Empress. With this, the Liu Family naturally rose with the tide and leaped into the ranks of the capital city nobility…” The waiter rambled on about various fresh developments and some matters related to the sons of the Liu Family.
However, Ye Jiu’s mind halted on that line: Miss Liu married Prince Jing!
Married to Prince Jing…
Indeed, it was too coincidental, enemies on a narrow road!
Ye Jiu’s fingers clenched tightly, her fingernails digging into her palm, reminding her to stay calm at this moment.
A Princess Consort of Prince Jing, a Liu Family.
Indeed, a mix of new hatred and old grudges!
After the waiter had finished speaking, Ye Jiu asked him to help find a doctor.
Ye Gaosheng washed up several times, finally cleaning himself up and changing into new clothes. Only then did he come out looking a bit like his former self.
By that time, the food was already set out, but considering Ye Gaosheng’s recent living conditions, Ye Jiu had ordered some light dishes.
Ye Gaosheng wolfed down his food, but as he ate, tears began to stream down, “Little sister, since you have returned home to live a good life, you really shouldn’t have come looking for me. I am sorry to you, sorry to our parents, and sorry to my elder and second brothers!”
