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

Chapter 89 Rumors
"Your Highness, why are you in Taowu?" Qi Yunsheng looked surprised.

Feeling panic, he secretly glanced at Ye Wanshu, wondering how she had invited King Yongning.

Ye Wanshu curled her lips and sneered. Since she dared to plot against Qi Yunsheng and the Pacification Commissioner, she would naturally be fully prepared and find a knife for herself in advance.

Fu Mingchi is now the sharpest knife in her hand. If nothing else, at least they now have a common goal, and this knife will definitely be willing to be used by her.

"I'm truly sorry for disturbing your Highness's meal."

She bowed respectfully towards Fu Mingchi, with a gentle and dignified look, which made Fu Mingchi, who was originally very calm, suddenly stunned.

The last time I remembered her being so calm was when I first met her in Lin'an.

Just looking at the scenery in the yard, he couldn't savor it at this moment.

Silently glancing at the crowd in the courtyard, Fu Mingchi said in a gloomy tone, "Miss Ye doesn't seem to be sincere in entertaining me. She invited so many guests in advance without informing me."

I was drinking tea and enjoying snacks in the room when I was called out by Fu Yunni.

Fu Yunni winked at Ye Wanshu playfully, then turned to face Fu Mingchi with an aggrieved face.

"Brother, please stop making fun of Sister Ye. Sister Ye looks forward to your coming every day. It's obviously you who attracted these uninvited guests."

Fu Mingchi thought about it and realized that it made sense. "That's right. It's because your sister Ye is so popular that people tend to miss her."

Listening to the brother and sister singing in unison, Ye Wanshu rolled her eyes helplessly.

Qi Yunsheng had already sensed something bad was going on, and he quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, I'm not here today to abuse your power, but to help you resolve your problems."

After saying this, he glared at Ye Wanshu fiercely and immediately said, "Actually, you don't need Miss Ye, and there's no need to detain the little princess here."

Yu Bai was immediately displeased when he heard this and slapped Qi Yunsheng in the face: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

If the little princess is not detained here, how can His Highness come to Taowu with a legitimate reason?

"Commander Yu, why are you saying this?" Qi Yunsheng said, bewildered. "I've already found out that the old lady of the Ye family has hidden a lot of property. It's now in Miss Ye's name. If we search Taowu, we'll definitely find it."

Fu Mingchi's brows darkened when he heard this, and Yu Bai slapped him again: "What criminal law did Miss Ye violate that made Scholar Qi mobilize so many people to confiscate other people's property?"

Qi Yunsheng still didn't understand the situation. He only realized that Prince Yongning didn't want to ruin his reputation. He changed the subject and said, "I'm not here to confiscate your property. I'm here to borrow money. I'm borrowing money from Miss Ye."

Yu Bai was so angry that he raised his hand to slap again, but Fu Mingchi had lost interest in watching.

"Alright, where do you want me to collect the money for killing someone?"

Fu Mingchi gestured for Yu Bai to leave, and glanced at Qi Yunsheng casually: "I will give you three days to recover 500,000 taels of silver within three days, otherwise your Qi family's property will not be confiscated as a simple matter."

Glancing at Ye Wanshu from the corner of his eye, he added, "As for this Taowu, if you dare to come even a step closer, I will make sure you die without a burial place."

Then, rows of soldiers in bright armor trotted in from outside the yard and surrounded the archers of the Pacification Commissioner's Office. Their awe-inspiring aura was enough to intimidate everyone.

The commander of the Chifeng Camp had someone carry a freshly caught fish from the sea. With a serious expression, he approached Fu Mingchi and Ye Wanshu and said, "Your Highness, I, following your instructions, led the brothers of the Chifeng Camp to catch a sea wolf overnight. Miss Ye, please enjoy it."

"What? Your Highness actually asked the Chifeng Camp to go fishing?" Qi Yunsheng was shocked again.

The Chifeng Camp is very famous in Yuezhou, but it was sent by King Yongning to fish. This is simply insane.

However, no one on the field paid any attention to his curiosity.

Looking at the sea fish weighing over a hundred kilograms in the frame, which looked particularly beautiful, Fu Yunni couldn't help but go forward and touch it.

Looking at Ye Wanshu with a smile, the little guy drooled greedily: "Sister Ye, let's go back and get ready. I want to have a big meal."

It was the first time that Ye Wanshu saw such a big fish. She was quite shocked. She only came to her senses after being pulled by Fu Yunni.

She stroked the little guy's head, smiled and responded, then led Fu Yunni back to the house. Fu Mingchi was about to turn around when she accidentally saw Gu Tingzhou secretly clenching his fists. She just curled her lips nonchalantly and followed him in.

"Wanwan."

Gu Tingzhou wanted to catch up unwillingly, but was stopped by Tingfeng.

"What are you doing?" Gu Tingzhou asked angrily, "Why did you allow Wanwan to get close to Prince Yongning? Does Prime Minister Ji know?"

"That has nothing to do with Master Gu." Ting Feng snorted disdainfully, "Compared to that, my master doesn't want the Master to get close to the Young Lady anymore."

"Mr. Gu, please come in." Yu Bai also made a gesture to see the guest off. "From what I can see, neither Miss Ye nor Steward Feng want you, so don't bother yourself. That sea fish was prepared by His Highness for Miss Ye, so you have no share."

"Asshole."

Gu Tingzhou wanted to charge forward with his men, but the guards of Chifeng Camp surrounded him.

Seeing that he didn't take the Duke of Rong's Mansion seriously at all, his attendant hurriedly reminded him in a low voice: "My lord, the Prince of Yongning won't stay in Taowu every day. Let's come back next time."

Gu Tingzhou clenched his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly that they made a creaking sound. He glared at Yu Bai with a sinister look, "Warn Prince Yongning, if he dares to do anything bad to my cousin, I will never let him go."

"Tsk, who can't brag?"

Yu Bai drew his knife and pointed it at him and the others: "Clear out the irrelevant people and don't disturb Miss Ye and His Highness."

The Chifeng Camp pressed forward step by step and drove out all of Gu Tingzhou and Qi Yunsheng's men.

"Qi Xiucai, don't forget, you only have three days."

Yu Bai shouted at Qi Yunsheng, then looked back at Ting Feng.

Knowing the grudge between His Highness and the Prime Minister, he quickly and humbly said, "Manager Feng, why don't you stay and have a drink with me."

"Get lost." Ting Feng still hadn't figured out what Prince Yongning was up to, and he shouted angrily, "Commander Yu, Prince Yongning, don't try to deceive my daughter. I will tell her the truth about his breaking off the engagement with the master sooner or later."

After saying this, he left angrily.

"No."

Yu Bai wanted to chase after him and try to persuade him again, but Ting Feng didn't want to pay any attention to him at all. He took two steps at a time and quickly walked out of the peach forest.

"Your Highness is in great trouble now." Yu Bai sighed silently and had to go back to report.

After Qi Yunsheng and Gu Tingzhou were both driven out of Taowu, they ignored each other and went their separate ways.

On the way to the Pacification Commissioner's Office, Qi Yunsheng carefully recalled what had just happened, muttering to himself, "Why is Prince Yongning so close to that little bitch from the Ye family? Even if the prince's palace is poor, it wouldn't be so humble as to curry favor with the daughter of a lowly merchant for hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

"Mr. Qi, don't forget that Miss Ye is the daughter of the Prime Minister after all. The fact that Steward Feng appeared in Yuhua Town is a testament to this."

The servant beside him reminded him, "And the Miss Hui who caused so much trouble a few days ago also has the surname Ye. If my guess is correct, that Miss Hui is the one from Taowu."

Qi Yunsheng was stunned. "No wonder the young princess and Prince Yongning are so close to her. Doesn't that mean I've offended Prince Yongning?"

"Mr. Qi, there's no need to worry," the servant said soothingly. "The imperial inspector will arrive in Yuezhou in the next two days. That young Master Gu doesn't even take Prince Qi seriously. He's here to deal with Prince Yongning."

"I've heard a little bit about this guy. He's a tough guy."

Qi Yunsheng nodded thoughtfully, "Rumor has it that when this little bitch from the Ye family escaped from Lin'an, she was hunted down by Gu Tingchen all the way. Somehow, she managed to escape. I think Gu Tingchen will definitely not let her go when he comes to Yuezhou this time."

Thinking of the humiliation he suffered today, Qi Yunsheng clenched his fists tightly.

"Envoy Xue is not here, so you and I will go and greet the young master in person. This time, I want Prince Yongning and that little bitch dead."
