Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 107: No mercy for women

"Then I'll teach you?"

"No, let Li Yi teach me."

"Why can't I?"

"You're so smart. If you see that I'm slow to react, won't you scold me? Li Yi wouldn't dare to do that."

"I'm more patient than Li Yi, and I promise I won't criticize you."

"Okay, I have to go get ready now."

"What preparations are needed for practicing?"

"I need to change into some workout clothes, and I've got some for you too. Come on, let's go change."

Ye Youlan drew a blueprint and asked the Weaver Girl in the mansion to make two sets of Tai Chi suits, which were simple and comfortable.

The Seventh Prince came out wearing a white Tai Chi suit and asked Ye Youlan why it looked strange.

"This clothing is loose and comfortable, unlike the clothes you wore before, which had several layers inside and outside, and made you sweat all the time."

The two of them came into the yard, and the maids and servants passing by couldn't help laughing when they saw them.

The Seventh Prince asked Ye Youlan to squat in a horse stance first, but Ye Youlan gave up after half an incense stick of time and shouted that she didn't want to practice anymore.

The Seventh Prince grabbed her collar to prevent her from running away: "Hold on."

"Your Majesty, I've discovered that I'm not cut out for martial arts. I give up."

"No."

An hour later, Ye Youlan entered the house, turned around and bolted the door, and told the Seventh Prince: "You will sleep outside tonight!"

Xiaomei wanted to laugh and asked the Seventh Prince if he wanted to climb in through the window again.

Ye Youlan said loudly in the room: "I've already plugged it in, you can't come in, I'm sleeping."

The Seventh Prince smiled and asked Xiaomei to bring some tea to the study.

Ye Youlan heard no movement outside and thought that the Seventh Prince had left. She dragged her tired body to her feet and opened the door, only to find that the Seventh Prince was standing straight at the door, looking at her with a smile.

Ye Youlan panicked and tried to close the door, but the Seventh Prince pressed it shut, squeezed in, and lay down on the bed. "Did I teach you badly?"

Ye Youlan sat on the couch beside her and said, "You teach well, but I am your wife. Why do you treat me like your subordinate and train me? You don't know how to be gentle with women at all."

The Seventh Prince did not answer, but instead made a slight breathing sound. Ye Youlan walked over quietly and patted him, but he did not respond. Ye Youlan muttered, "Why are you more tired than me?" She pulled the quilt over to cover him and took off his shoes.

She smelled her body and found that it still smelled of sweat, so she went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Miaoyu recovered well, but she didn't want to recall what happened that day. Now she was even afraid to ride in a carriage. Several sisters came to her house to chat with her.

Chen Xiaoling said, "It's been strange lately. Some interesting things have happened in Beijing."

The sisters asked her what was going on.

"Master Liu, who lives on East Street, has a son. He once stopped us when we were shopping together. Youlan and I scolded him at the time, and he even threatened to sue us. Yesterday, someone broke his leg in the casino."

Miaoyu leaned against the headboard of the bed. She thought hard and said, "Liu Yifeng."

Ruoyun laughed: "Serves him right. He's just a playboy. It's just a gamble. How dare you break his legs? It's not like his family is poor."

"Someone caught him cheating."

Yu Rou smiled calmly: "This kind of thing happens every day in the casino, what's the big deal?"

Chen Xiaoling said proudly, "I haven't told you the funniest thing yet. Liu Yifeng's leg was broken and he was recuperating at home, but Miss Zheng, who was engaged to him, didn't want to marry him anymore and asked to cancel the engagement. Both families went to Jingzhao Prefecture to make a fuss."

Miaoyu was curious about what happened next?

"The Liu family threatened that if Miss Zheng didn't fulfill the engagement, she would be ruined and no one would dare to marry her."

"Shameless. No wonder I haven't seen Miss Zheng out shopping for a while."

Chen Xiaoling said, "Master Zheng is also very stubborn. He said that even if his daughter is old and old, he will cancel the engagement. He said that the Liu family is a marriage fraud, that Liu Yifeng is a bad person and a gambler, and that he would rather his daughter marry him than let him marry him even if he had to spend all his money."

Ye Youlan nodded: "Master Zheng is quite a man of integrity."

Ruoyun asked Chen Xiaoling to tell her quickly whether she had successfully broken off the engagement.

"It worked. The matter alarmed the Emperor, who issued an oral order to cancel the engagement immediately. The next day, Master Zheng had his wife and daughter leave the capital. They left so hastily. I feel like Master Zheng's family was forced into the marriage, and now they finally found a suitable reason to cancel the engagement."

Qin Yurou frowned. Liu Yifeng and Li Zong were close, so was Li Zong also gambling? Was it necessary for a mere minister like him to be away from home every few days during the Spring Examination? And her father-in-law, Li Da, had broken his leg after drinking a few days ago, and his constant yelling at home was giving her a headache.

Ye Youlan casually asked Chen Xiaoling what else she had heard?

Chen Xiaoling pretended to be mysterious and said, "Mr. Wang, the Minister of Works, discovered that his concubine was having an affair with a servant and nearly beat the servant to death. The concubine was so ashamed and angry that she hanged herself. Mr. Wang hasn't been to the Ministry of Works for several days."

Ye Youlan raised her eyebrows slightly: "That's what Chen Su said. I didn't expect Chen Su to like gossip now."

Chen Xiaoling glared at Ye Youlan and said, "Tao Ye heard the cook say that in the kitchen, the cooks from various mansions often go to the market to buy vegetables, so they are all very familiar with each other. When they have nothing to do, they chat about the things going on in their respective mansions."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Youlan suggested that everyone should go home quickly so as not to disturb Miaoyu's rest.

Zhang Liang was rubbing his hands outside the door when he saw them come out and bowed to the princess and the prince's wife.

Chen Xiaoling smiled: "You don't have to bow to me, Chen Su is not the prince yet."

Zhang Liang said embarrassedly, "It's just a matter of time." Then he reminded everyone to be careful when they go back.

"It's okay, someone is here to pick us up."

The "someone" Chen Xiaoling was referring to was, of course, their husbands. Outside the Li residence, carriages were lined up. The Seventh Prince got out and helped Ye Youlan up, leaving first. Then, the carriage from the Yong'an Palace arrived. Chen Su, smiling, lifted the curtain and reached out to support Chen Xiaoling.

Li Chuang was riding a horse today. He stretched out his hand, put his arm around Ruoyun's slender waist and brought her onto the horse. Ruoyun leaned in his arms with a blush on her face.

Qin Yurou was the last one to leave. She felt a little sad, but she quickly adjusted her mood and regained her composure.

As soon as she entered the Li Mansion, Aunt Liu came to tell her that the lady was invited to come over and talk.

Qin Yurou was a little puzzled. She couldn't imagine what the lady wanted to talk to her about at this time?

The lady in the Buddhist hall had a calm expression, as if she had no desires or requests. Only when she saw Qin Yurou coming did a smile appear on her face, but it was not much and very forced.

"From today on, I will move to Qingyue Temple, and this house will be handed over to you."

Qin Yurou was very surprised and asked her mother-in-law why she suddenly had this idea?

"I've wanted to leave a long time ago, but I was a little greedy and thought I'd wait until you had a child before leaving. Now I've completely come to my senses. Each generation has its own way of living. If I stay in this family, I might really go crazy."

"What about Dad? He has broken both legs and needs someone to take care of him. If you leave now, I'm afraid people outside will say something."
