Chapter 579: Chapter 565: The Sneaky and Dishonest Person
Wan Danrong was filled with exhilaration, bounding around, her steps echoing the sweetness of first love as she returned to the courtyard.
Yi i knew that for all the days Ye Chen had been gone, she had been looking downcast. She almost couldn’t believe it, unsure of what had happened.
All she knew was that a lot of unpleasant things had happened today. She asked, laughing, “Miss, have you found soone you fancy today? Why are you so cheerful all of a sudden?”
“Nonsense, go hurry up and pour
so tea,” Wan Danrong demanded loudly.
Yi i didn’t know that Ye Chen had returned. She countered, “Ye Chen disappeared and you’ve been sulking for days, like a pile of cow dung. It’s as if your lover died. Today you’re suddenly so happy, I’m starting to think you have been possessed.”
“Your words are so unpleasant, a pile of cow dung and a dead lover, who on earth taught you these?”
“I am happy to see you like this and I hope you stay happy. But I really don’t know how else to describe your state these past days.”
Wan Danrong then said, “I found him, he was outside the city gate.”
“Found him? Outside the city gate?” Yi i was so astonished it was as if she had turned into a fool.
“He was knocked unconscious and dumped outside the city gate and was stopped by the city guards from entering. He wanted to send a ssage to
to et him at the city gate but it was intercepted by soone else. He’s been stuck outside for so days.”
Yi i almost couldn’t believe it and asked, “Who did this?”
“Anyone could guess even with their eyes closed.”
“You’re saying it was Ding Yunjie?”
“Who else but him? Only he has such a motive. Last ti, Ye Chen helped
defeat him, making him lose face. He doesn’t like Ye Chen, so he could only resort to such thods. However, I honestly didn’t expect he would do sothing like this.”
Yi i found it hard to believe, “No way, Ding Yunjie is not that kind of person. How can he be so bold?”
“It must be that sneak thief Wang Dong who taught him. Who else besides him? I am increasingly disliking Ding Yunjie. How could he do such a thing? It’s so infuriating!” Wan Danrong expression turned serious.
“If Ye Chen is outside the city, how did you find out?”
“Do you know who saved my stepmother today?”
“Don’t tell
it was Ye Chen.”
“Yes, it was him. If it weren’t for his excellent martial arts, my stepmother would have been abducted. He originally planned to leave Wanshou City today, but on his way, he happened to encounter the besieged Zhong Yao. So he stepped forward to rescue him and in turn, saved my stepmother.”
“So the person who saved her life was him?” She had heard soone saved Feng Niang but didn’t know who it was.
“Yes, I didn’t know it either. Tonight, when my father and I went to visit my stepmother, I learned that Ye Chen had saved them.” Wan Danrong was pondering what the connection could be between that damned monkey and Feng Niang.
“No wonder you’re so cheerful.” At this point, Yi i completely understood.
There was obviously more to what was said.
Wan Danrong was indignant, “What do you an, ‘No wonder you’re so cheerful’? What are you implying? Do you think I have feelings for him?” She had beco anxious and wanted to rebut.
Yi i quickly said, “No, not at all, I just think… You should be happy. Your master is back and he can continue teaching you martial arts. How can you not be elated?” Although this was what she said, she had another idea in mind.
Wan Danrong wanted to berate her but couldn’t make a good argunt. The more she tried to explain, the less clear it beca. She could only fu.
“I’ll make you a nice cup of tea.”
“No need, I want to take a wash,” Wan Danrong said.
“Okay, I’ll go get hot water ready for you.” Yi i departed swiftly.
Wan Danrong fell silent, pausing to catch her breath as she considered sothing.
Yi i quickly asked the maidservants to prepare things before returning. “I heard,” she said, “that your stepmother and him are friends.”
“I don’t know what kind of evil friends.”
Yi i laughed a little and continued, “Your stepmother brought him back without uttering a word and sent him directly into her own room. She seed very worried and didn’t care that people might say she’s already married. She quickly brought the divine doctor from the Wastelands. I think their relationship is special.” By now, she had already heard plenty of rumors.
“Special? Feng Niang is already my father’s woman.”
“That’s true, what else could happen? She’s already married. It’s just that I’m a little puzzled how Ye Chen beca friends with her.”
“If you’re so interested, you should ask her yourself.”
“What do I care? I’m just making conversation and reminding you,” Yi i said.
Wan Danrong glanced at her coldly and pouted.
“It’s good that he is back. You don’t need to be so frantic now, nor do you need to lose yourself like you did. These past few days we didn’t know how to comfort you.”
Wan Danrong explained, “I was just afraid that I would be left in the lurch, without anyone to practice martial arts with.”
“Of course, who doesn’t know that,” Yi i said, deliberately.
Wan Danrong snorted, not knowing what else to say. Yet, she was extrely joyful, as if she had regained sothing precious that had been lost.
“There needs to be a thorough restructuring of the Wan Residence. The fact that such events can occur, causing a major commotion and requiring such a display of force – it’s quite startling.”
“Not just you, I am equally startled. They have the city guards aligned with their plans; anyone can enter, except for him. My ssages to him didn’t get through, and we didn’t know what was happening. Think about it, who could pull off sothing like this?”
“These people have indeed gone too far. But in a way, it’s understandable. Ding Yun Jie likes you, and that’s why he’s doing all this. He’s afraid you might run off with soone else. ”
“What are you talking about? Run off with soone else? Ding Yun Jie has indeed grown too bold. This is the type of behavior expected from a child, not an adult. If he continues indulging such behavior, it’ll lead to chaos. Isn’t he old enough to discern what should and shouldn’t be done?”
“What are you planning to do? Scold them?”
“You suggest we let them be?”
“I think we have to handle this slowly.”
“And you think we can tread slowly on this issue? They didn’t even want
to be aware of what was going on.”
“Oh dear, he might have been in a rush, you rejected him and he didn’t want Ye Chen to stay here anymore. It can be understood.”
“So he can just act recklessly, ignoring the consequences?”
“Well, I truly don’t know anymore what to say in his defense.”
“Honestly, I wonder how long they have been planning this! How could such events happen in the Wan Residence!” Wan Danrong thought back to the tis she’s been seeking answers and enduring hardships. Ye Chen has been prowling around the city outskirts for so long. This spurred her anger, if it wasn’t for Ye Chen telling her to keep it down, she would definitely confront Ding Shi.
The maidservant was already calling, “The water is ready.”
“This is just too much, treating
like a monkey.” Wan Danrong stood up, heading inside.
She vanished without a trace all night.
Ye Chen finally managed to get a good night’s sleep.
The impatient maidservant outside was again urging him, shouting, “You, the laborer, get up quickly. We’ve done half the tasks already. Are you planning to wait until we finish everything to get up and start your labor?”
Clearly she refers to what happened the previous night.
Ye Chen shouted back, “Quiet down! I’ve heard you!”
“You think you can live like a lord here? We all work to make a living. If you don’t plan to work, wait until you find a rich woman. Even if you did find one, I doubt she’d fall for a drunkard like you.”
The words indeed were hurtful. Ye Chen quickly got up, pushing open the room’s door. If he didn’t get up soon, she’d surely scold him incessantly.
“The water in the tank hasn’t been fetched yet.”
Ye Chen quickly covered his nose, saying: “No, I teach martial arts, any kind of martial arts.” Apparently, teaching martial arts seed more enjoyable.
“Then get up quickly and eat your al.”
“Alright, I’m eating. How can a person not do so work? Isn’t living supposed to be about working?” Ye Chen’s eyes were half-closed, still yawning unconsciously.
“We’re all busy. Don’t bla anyone. No one is superfluous here. Even though Rong’er has provided you with this courtyard, it’s not for you to be a free-loader. Do you feel good about free-loading?”
“I don’t feel good, okay? I’m up already. Can you be kind and let
enjoy a little peace while I eat? ”
“The al is ready; it’s in the pavilion.”
“Understood.”
The girl finally closed her mouth. She would surely beco a formidable character in the future.
“Just take it easy and enjoy your peace for a while. If you truly wish to be served, aim for a good family to be reborn into in your next life.”
Ye Chen ignored her.
The surroundings beca quiet. The rhythmical sweeping sound, the rustling of leaves, everything fell silent.
Wan Danrong angrily stord into Ding Yunjie’s courtyard. Only Ding Yunjie was present. She had actually intended to et Wang Dong; she was certain that it wasn’t Ding Yunjie who had the audacity to hatch this plan, rather it was Wang Dong’s idea.
Entering she demanded, “Where’s Wang Dong?”
Ding Yunjie had no idea about what had happened and assud Wang Dong must have done sothing wrong. He replied, “He’s out. Did Wang Dong do sothing bad?”
“How could you possibly not know whether Wang Dong did anything bad or not.” Wan Danrong turned on him instantly.
“Is it sothing I did wrong?” Ding Yunjie was still trying to ease the tension with Wan Danrong after Ye Chen’s departure.
Seeing that Wang Dong wasn’t there, Wan Danrong turned her anger onto Ding Yunjie, saying, “Don’t think that you can keep your actions against Ye Chen a secret. If you don’t want people to know sothing, you shouldn’t have done it in the first place. You should commit less of these transgressions.”
Ding Yunjie was left speechless by her accusations, wondering how she knew, and where their plan had gone wrong.
Wan Danrong, fuming with anger, stord off, declaring, “Don’t involve yourself with such petty thieves anymore, sooner or later you’ll beco one too.”
Wan Danrong left, her eyes blazing with anger.
Ding Yunjie realized she must have found out. Otherwise, Wan Danrong wouldn’t have said those things. He didn’t dare to respond and was stunned for the longest ti, unable to figure out what went wrong.
