I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 85 Finding Your Own Way Out

Qi Yunsheng was immediately shocked: "What? Prince Yongning?"

"That's right," Ye Wanshu nodded calmly. "Prince Yongning had already sent someone to borrow money long before you did."

Pointing at Fu Yunni who was playing not far away, Ye Wanshu said in a quiet voice, "He's much more sincere than you are. He's holding the young princess here. I'm not afraid that he won't return the money."

Qi Yunsheng sighed speechlessly.

It is true that the weak are bullied. Now even King Yongning wants to get a piece of the pie. Fortunately, I acted quickly.

Thinking about it more carefully, Fu Mingchi exempted Yuezhou from taxes for two years for the sake of a girl. He must be in urgent need of money and is also collecting money everywhere.

I think he still doesn't know the details of the Ye family. If he tells him the secret of the Ye family's concealment of their property, it will be a great achievement. Fu Mingchi will naturally not care about a mere 500,000 taels.

"Okay, Miss Ye, don't worry. I will take care of Prince Yongning."

Qi Yunsheng said perfunctorily, and watched as all the silver was loaded into the carriage. He had no intention of staying here. He looked at Ye Wanshu meaningfully, then got into the carriage and left with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Qi, please keep an eye on the silver. Be careful not to let it get blown away by the wind."

Ye Wanshu shouted in the direction the carriage was going away. Seeing that it was already past dusk and she was starving, she immediately called Fu Yunni and pulled her inside.

"Little princess, what do you want to eat today?" she asked with interest.

Fu Yunni thought of Qi Shuangshuang, who had just arrived today, and said considerately, "I'll eat whatever the girl inside wants to eat."

"Our little princess has become so well-behaved and sensible." Ye Wanshu happily pinched her cheeks and instructed Mother Yan, "I'm happy today. I'll roast all the venison sent by the county government and share it with everyone to celebrate."

Mother Yan didn't know that the girl had plotted against Qi Yunsheng. She just thought that she was happy that Chu Yin and her daughter were free from the cage.

"Miss Yin's event is indeed worth celebrating." Leaning closer to Ye Wanshu, Mother Yan whispered, "But Miss Yin's dowry of several hundred thousand taels of silver, and our five hundred thousand taels of silver, will probably all be wasted."

"Don't worry, there won't be any less."

Ye Wanshu winked at her, then calmly took Fu Yunni back to Fuya Pavilion.

In the room, the wet nurses asked Chunhong and Xingtao to prepare medicinal food, and Chu Yin was feeding Qi Shuangshuang herself.

Seeing their daughter enter, the wet nurses all sighed: "That old woman from the Qi family is really cruel. After all, she is her own granddaughter, but she treats Miss Shuang worse than an animal. She locked her up in the cellar until her face burned, and she didn't care about her for several days."

Ye Wanshu felt distressed after hearing this. She first dismissed the two wet nurses, then walked to Chu Yin and slowly sat down.

Staring at Shuangshuang's thin figure, she couldn't help but think of her childhood.

At that time, her and her mother's situation was not much better than that of Ayin and her daughter. If it were not for her grandmother's mediation, she would probably have been killed by Zhou Ru long ago.

She will never forget the days when she just returned to her grandmother's house. At that time, she had not yet met the Gu brothers, and her mother was depressed all day long. It was Chu Yin who led her out of that darkest time.

"Wanwan, I'll protect you in Tongyang from now on. If anyone dares to bully or mock you, I'll beat her up for you."

It was a very childish sentence, but Ye Wanshu remembered it for two lifetimes.

"Shuangshuang, don't think about the Qi family anymore. Stay here with your mother and I will never let you be bullied again."

Her eyes were gentle and she gently stroked Shuangshuang's cheek.

Qi Shuangshuang blinked her clear eyes: "Wherever my mother is, there I will be."

Fu Yunni had never seen a child smaller than herself. She held Qi Shuangshuang's dry palm and said solemnly, "Don't be afraid, sister. I will protect you from now on. No one in the whole Yuezhou will dare to bully you."

This was the first time that Qi Shuangshuang walked out of the Qi family and the first time that she interacted with other children. She looked at Fu Yunni, who was like a little adult, and looked at Chu Yin at a loss.

Chu Yin glanced at Ye Wanshu with some embarrassment. "Wanwan, the princess is the younger sister of Prince Yongning. Isn't it inappropriate for Shuang'er to call her sister?" This was clearly malicious. Ye Wanshu was about to argue when Fu Yunni interrupted, "Sister Yin is right. Sister Ye is my future sister-in-law. So, little Shuangshuang should call me aunt, but I don't want to be someone's aunt."

Curling his lips in annoyance, the little fellow said to himself, "It's better for each of us to discuss our own affairs."

After saying that, he pulled Qi Shuangshuang out to play.

Chu Yin always felt it was weird. The little princess called herself sister and her daughter sister. What kind of address was that?

Ye Wanshu was completely clueless about this little kid. She silently looked at the quiet Qin Chulin, smiled, and waved her hand, "Chulin, go stay with them."

Qin Chulin bowed respectfully to everyone and was led out of the house by Chunhong and Xingtao.

It had been quiet for a long time in her previous life, and now there were several more children in the yard. Ye Wanshu actually liked this kind of liveliness.

Pulling Chu Yin in her arms, Ye Wanshu said with relief, "Sister Yin, today is the day you're reborn. We're going to get drunk all night long."

Chu Yin was still a little nervous: "Wanwan, are you really sure you can deal with Qi Yunsheng?"

"We don't have to worry about this matter for now, just wait."

Ye Wanshu had already made up her mind, and she didn't believe that Fu Mingchi would miss the great opportunity to suppress the Pacification Commissioner's Office.

"After a while, I will introduce you to a very good sister. Our lives in Yuezhou will only get better and better."

Chu Yin had heard her mention the girl from Dingyuan Marquis Mansion over the past two days, and she was a little curious.

Since Wanwan was so sure, she didn't want to spoil the fun anymore, so she calmed down and decided to celebrate her new life with her.

As dusk fell, Qi Yunsheng led his men and drove the silver carriage straight to the Pacification Commissioner's Office. The joy on his face could not be concealed even by the dark night.

But halfway through the journey, they encountered robbers.

This group of robbers came with great force and robbed all the silver carriages effortlessly. Qi Yunsheng and the remaining men chased them for more than ten miles, but the robbers had disappeared without a trace, as if they had planned it all along.

Qi Yunsheng was extremely anxious, and the servants beside him were also at a loss.

"Mr. Qi, what should we do now?" asked a servant, holding up a torch.

"Ye Wanshu?"

Qi Yunsheng gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. He wanted to go back and settle the score with that little bitch, but the servant suddenly reminded him, "Qi Xiucai, although Miss Ye is a princess, she doesn't have such powerful helpers under her command. The group just now didn't seem like ordinary ruffians."

Qi Yunsheng immediately calmed down: "He is indeed not an ordinary person, but seems to be a good soldier in the army."

Looking at the entire Yuezhou, perhaps only the Pacification Commissioner and the Yuezhou Army can be so brave.

This money was originally sent to the Pacification Commissioner's Office, so there was no need for Xue Jiu to take the risk of robbing his own money.

As for King Yongning, there was no need for him to do so. That bitch from the Ye family said that he was going to borrow some money, so he just needed to ask for it from him legitimately. There was no need to go through all this trouble.

"I'm afraid we encountered pirates." Qi Yunsheng was very sure of his judgment.

Moreover, the only wise thing to do now is to put the blame on the pirates.

"Return immediately to the Pacification Commissioner's Office and report to the Pacification Commissioner. We will do our utmost to capture the pirates."

At Qi Yunsheng's command, all the troops headed straight for the Pacification Office.
