Chapter 213 Let them stop being a pair of star-crossed, ill-fated lovers.
puff!
Ye Shijun couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Mo Qianxiao was already embarrassed by Ye Shiting's words, and when he heard Ye Shiting's unrestrained laughter, his eyes flashed with murderous intent as he glared at Ye Shijun with extreme malevolence.
"Who are you? How dare you be so insolent before this prince!"
"Brother-in-law!" Ye Shijun seemed startled by his glare and immediately ran to Yu Chiling's side, shouting, "Someone yelled at me! How fierce!"
Yu Chi Ling's lips twitched violently.
That's why people say my second brother-in-law is such a talented person!
A tall, strong man looked as wronged as a little wife. He wasn't afraid of being laughed at, nor did he care whether others found it painful to watch!
His address of "brother-in-law" in particular left Ye Shishu, Ye Shiting, and Gu Simo speechless, both amused and exasperated.
Gu Simo was about to step forward and pull him away when she saw Yu Chiling stand up from his seat and shield his brother-in-law, who was about the same height as him, behind him.
"Fourth Prince, Li Yao is our guest. You claim she is your woman. What evidence do you have?"
"Prince Cheng, this is my private matter with her, it's none of your business!" Even a blind person could see his favoritism, so Mo Qianxiao did not change his expression towards him, but glared at him as if he were an enemy.
"Since this is your private matter, then please let the Fourth Prince handle it when he returns to Beilin Kingdom. This is Da Ye Kingdom, not a place for you to be competitive and petty!" In terms of aura, Yuchi Linghan was no less imposing than him, and even had the upper hand in his cold words.
"Fourth brother, let's talk things out and not ruin our harmony." Luo Lixian stepped forward, gently playing the role of peacemaker.
"Hmph!" Mo Qianxiao turned his gaze to Li Yao again, gritting his teeth as he said, "I've said it before, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will not let you go! Don't think that just because you've found a backer, I won't dare to do anything to you. If you have the guts, then follow them for the rest of your life. Don't give me a chance, or I will definitely kill you!"
After saying that, he angrily flung his sleeves and left, exuding a fierce aura.
Luo Lixian quickly ordered his men to retreat, and then chased after them.
The room fell silent.
Looking at the serious and composed faces of those who were concerned for her, Li Yao's eyes welled up with tears. She suddenly said to Ye Shishu, "Your Highness, please take me somewhere else! Mo Qianxiao is notoriously treacherous and vicious. If he misunderstands that I am engaged to the eldest young master, he will definitely try every means to deal with him!"
Ye Shishu looked at her eldest brother.
Ye Shiting said in a low voice, "You don't need to worry. He is a prince of Beilin Kingdom. Even without you, we wouldn't get along with him." Then he looked at Yuchi Ling, "Your Highness, don't you think so?"
Yu Chi Ling didn't answer him directly, but instead smiled knowingly and said, "Let's deal with this for today. After tomorrow, my two brothers-in-law shouldn't always be thinking about having fun. There are some things that need to be prepared in advance."
Looking at his two elder brothers' cold and resolute eyes, Ye Shishu could guess the meaning behind Yu Chiling's words without even asking.
It's time to prepare for war...
Of course, such important matters cannot be discussed outside.
Her two older brothers, in particular, were intelligent men and tacitly ended the conversation.
"Shi Jun, I heard there's a jewelry auction today. Why don't we go and join in the fun?" Gu Simo suddenly suggested.
"Okay." Ye Shijun put his arm around her and walked out, laughing as he went. "If there's anything you like, buy it. If you don't have enough money, just go back and ask your father for more."
"How old are you? Still asking your father for money? Are you trying to become a spendthrift?" Gu Simo couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
"Your Highness, let's go too." As soon as the two of them left, Ye Shishu quickly gave Yu Chiling a wink and pulled him away.
Only Ye Shiting and Li Yao remained in the room.
Ye Shiting didn't understand their intentions and prepared to follow them.
"Eldest son."
Hearing Li Yao call him, he turned his head and looked at her. "Hmm?"
Li Yao clutched the hem of her clothes with both hands, her face flushed, and said, "Thank you for getting me out of that predicament, but I know you don't really want to marry me. I can assure you that once Mo Qianxiao leaves the Great Ye Kingdom, I will leave as well. Then you can announce to the public that I am dead, so it won't affect your marriage to someone else."
Ye Shiting's face tightened, his gaze fixed intently on her face.
But he didn't say a word.
Li Yao felt a chill run down her spine under his gaze, and tilted her head back to ask him, "What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
Ye Shiting pursed his thin lips awkwardly and said in a low voice, "We'll see."
He left behind three brief words and headed straight for the door.
Looking at his straight back, Li Yao felt a chill creep down her spine.
The important thing is that she didn't understand what he meant.
We'll see...
What more?
When will we talk about it again?
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and follow me!" Ye Shiting stopped at the door, glanced at her sideways, and coldly reprimanded her.
……
Auctions are the most exciting event at Ziqiong Villa, and the venue is always packed.
Ye Shishu and the others had come before, but they were all there to watch the spectacle.
It's the same this time.
However, under Yu Chi Ling's arrangement, Ye Shi Shu was in a secluded pavilion this time, where she could overlook the entire venue and see every move of everyone in the venue.
Inside the building, Mo Qianxiao and Luo Lixian sat in the central, head-of-the-table position, each flanked by a subordinate. Although they were close together, they didn't exchange a single word throughout the entire encounter.
Ye Shijun and Gu Simo sat behind them.
Throughout the auction, Luo Lixian purchased a total of twelve items, with the total bids reaching seventy to eighty thousand taels of silver.
Ye Shijun also bid on several items, but no matter how much he raised the price, Luo Lixian would raise it again without hesitation until no one else bid.
“Having an identity really makes a difference!” Ye Shishu said with a sneer.
"Don't you think something's strange?" Yu Chi Ling, who was watching the commotion with her, suddenly asked her.
"What's strange about them?" Ye Shishu narrowed her eyes, her gaze lingering on the backs of Mo Qianxiao and Luo Lixian's heads. Suddenly, she laughed and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I really wouldn't have noticed. They do seem odd to each other. They're supposed to be siblings, but their interactions are completely distant. Even though they've been separated since childhood, they're still close siblings, so there's no reason they wouldn't exchange a word. Yet, Mo Qianxiao is willing to spend such a huge sum of money on Luo Lixian, as if he'd grant her anything she wants."
After the auction ended, Luo Lixian did not leave with Mo Qianxiao, but instead quietly exited through another exit.
Ye Shishu turned to Sanshui and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on Luo Lixian and see what she's up to."
"Yes."
Not long after, Sanshui returned and reported, "Your Highness, Wei Yonghuai has arrived. He is at the Dingzi Room in Yunshuijian. Luo Lixian is on her way to see him."
A soft "ah" came from the night.
This pair of "lovebirds" have not separated to this day; their love is truly deep.
"Your Highness, our marriage is all thanks to Wei Yonghuai and Luo Lixian. Why don't we give them a 'perfect' celebration and let them stop being a pair of star-crossed lovers?"
