Chapter 7 Chapter 7 Deliberate Encounter in a Dark Alley

The Prime Minister's wife spoke in a gentle but slightly reproachful tone: "I heard from the third lady that you insisted on fishing for carp in the Golden Lake yourself, but accidentally fell into the lake. Next time, let the servants do this kind of thing."

"Accidentally?" A trace of shock and anger flashed in Ye Wanwan's eyes, and her voice couldn't help but rise a few points, "It was obviously Ye Liyu who pushed me behind my back! She deliberately wanted to harm me!"

The original body was a straightforward person who would not bear to be wronged. In order not to affect the fate of the tribulation and the original body, she had to maintain her personality.

"Wanwan, don't talk nonsense." The Prime Minister's wife and brother Ye Heng actually didn't like the concubine's room. After hearing what Ye Wanwan said, they were thoughtful.

"Yunting, you say!" Seeing that her mother and brother seemed to be shaken, Ye Wanwan immediately turned to look at her personal maid, with an unquestionable command in her tone.

Upon hearing this, Yun Ting immediately knelt on the ground, lowered her head, and said in a trembling but firm voice: "Madam, Master, I did see the Third Miss pushing the Fourth Miss from behind."

Ye Wanwan turned around with an expression that said, "Look, I was right."

Ye Heng looked calm, his eyes scanning back and forth between Ye Wanwan and Yun Ting. He spoke slowly, his tone steady: "But even if she pushed you from behind, how would you know?"

"Of course there is a reflection in the lake, her evil face is reflected, brother, you don't believe me?"

"Wanwan, of course I believe you. But..."

Ye Heng paused, and turned his gaze to Yun Ting who was kneeling on the ground, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes, "Since Yun Ting saw the Third Sister pushing you, why didn't she stop it in time? If she was there at the time, how could she let you fall into the water?"

Yun Ting's face turned pale when she heard this. She was not actually at the lakeside at the time, but was sent away by Ye Wanwan to get bait. She didn't know how she fell into the water, but if Yun Ting hadn't stood on the side of the fourth lady, she would have been beaten to death. "This... It happened suddenly, and I didn't have time to stop it."

Ye Heng shook his head. Obviously, these words were not enough to convince him, but he also knew that his sister was not a person who shot without purpose: "Wanwan, Yun Ting's words are not enough to convince people, but I also know that you are not a person who makes false accusations. But if there is no solid evidence, I'm afraid you can only suffer this loss in silence."

If it were the previous Ye Wanwan, she would definitely throw a tantrum and insist on punishing Ye Liyu, but now Ye Wanwan is an old immortal who has lived in the fairy world for thousands of years. In her eyes, this kind of trivial matter is nothing but a joke.

"Hmph, I won't let her get away with it." Ye Wanwan chuckled, with a bit of disdain and confidence in her tone, "Since Ye Liyu dared to attack me, don't blame me for being rude."

...

This young lady's body is indeed delicate. It was just a cold after falling into the water, and she had to lie down for several days before she recovered some strength. She stood in front of the window, looking at the pear blossoms blooming in the yard, and she was in the mood to dress up and go out.

Yun Ting took out two gorgeous clothes embroidered with gold silk clouds from the closet and respectfully held them in front of Ye Wanwan: "Miss, do you think these two clothes are to your liking?"

The sunlight shone on the clothes through the window lattice, and the gold silk embroidery thread sparkled in the light, so dazzling that it was almost impossible to open your eyes. Ye Wanwan squinted slightly, feeling a little helpless. The original body was indeed a person who liked luxury, even his daily clothes were so ostentatious. But she preferred a fresh and elegant style. She couldn't help but frowned.

Seeing the young lady's embarrassed expression, Yun Ting immediately knelt on the ground, with a bit of panic in her voice: "Young lady, please forgive me, I know I was wrong, I will change it now."

Ye Wanwan said coldly: "It's good that you know you were wrong, go find me a green and elegant dress."

"Yes, I will go now." Yun Ting hurriedly got up, but the young lady came to order again, "Don't kneel down

all the time when you have nothing to do in the future, it makes me upset." Yun Ting just walked to the door and heard this. Her steps paused slightly, and she was a little surprised. The young lady's words and deeds today seemed to be a little different from the past, but she didn't dare to think too much, and hurried to choose suitable clothes for Ye Wanwan.

After a while, Yun Ting came in holding a light green long skirt. There were a few elegant orchids embroidered on the hem of the skirt, fresh and elegant, which was the style that the original body disliked the most.

Ye Wanwan took a look and nodded with satisfaction: "This one is good, let's take it."

But she suddenly thought of something and changed back to the gorgeous gold dress.

Yun Ting heaved a sigh of relief when she saw her expression ease, and hurried forward to help her change clothes and put on makeup.

Looking at the bright face in the mirror, Ye Wanwan went out with satisfaction, but was stopped after just two steps.

"Is the fourth sister okay?" A sharp female voice came from behind.

Ye Wanwan turned around and saw Ye Liyu walking towards her. She was not born beautiful, with ordinary facial features, but her every move revealed a charming demeanor. She pretended to be concerned and said, "Fourth sister, you have made the third sister very worried. I have been thinking about you since you fell into the water."

Ye Wanwan smiled coldly, with undisguised sarcasm in her tone: "The third sister is really thoughtful. Since you are so worried about me, why don't you come to see me? Are you guilty and afraid that I will expose you for pushing me into the lake?"

The girl's voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it clearly.

Ye Liyu's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she soon returned to her weak and innocent look, and said in a delicate voice: "Fourth sister, please don't talk nonsense, how could I push you."

Ye Wanwan was too lazy to waste words with her, and turned around to leave. Unexpectedly, Ye Liyu said again: "Fourth sister, please be careful, you just recovered, don't accidentally fall into a ditch again."

In fact, Ye Liyu just wanted to provoke her to get angry, so as to turn the tables, but she didn't know that the person in front of her had changed his soul, and just left with a warning look.

Ye Wanwan didn't have time to deal with her now, and she had something to do.

The book of calamities wrote that the immortal god Li He was reincarnated as the twelfth prince of Qi State, Qi Youan, and the first calamity he experienced was the pain of betrayal by his closest relatives.

Qi Youan has been loved by his brothers since he was a child, and the best one is the fourth prince Qi Li, who was born from the same mother. Qi Youan naively thought that this brotherhood would last forever.

However, reality dealt him a fatal blow. Qi Li secretly colluded with Rongguo, ceding five cities in exchange for Rongguo's support and conspiring to usurp the throne. Overnight, Qi Li killed his father and brother and bloodbathed the palace. What made him even more heartbroken was that Qi Li sent him to Rongguo as a hostage regardless of brotherhood.

Unexpectedly, he was robbed by mountain bandits on the road. Qi Youan was displaced and picked up by human traffickers and abducted to the black market in Li'an City where Ye Wanwan was.

In this harsh situation, Qi Youan did not give up on himself. He had hatred in his heart, and he wanted to return to Qiguo for revenge. In the black market, he keenly realized that the dignitaries in this city might be able to help him. So he began to observe secretly and look for opportunities.

Soon, he noticed Ye Wanwan. She always appeared on the same street, dressed gorgeously, behaved elegantly, and was obviously of extraordinary status. If he could get close to her, he might be able to win a ray of hope for himself.

Finally, he waited for the opportunity. One day, Ye Wanwan was admiring flowers alone on the street. Qi Youan took the opportunity to approach her and kneeled down to beg her to take him in as a servant.

Now, she is the protagonist of this story. In order to prevent the plot in the Tribulation Book from deviating from the track, Ye Wanwan must act according to the established trajectory. So, she would stroll on that street every day, as if waiting for a destined encounter.

Recalling the time when she secretly went down to the mortal world to play, Ye Wanwan was always nervous, fearing that she would be discovered by the heaven. But now, she can finally let go of her mind and enjoy the prosperity and beauty of this mortal world.

Lihua Street is extremely prosperous. On both sides of the street, there are rows of buildings and shops, and the signs are swaying in the wind. The hawkers on the street are shouting one after another.

"Hey, Yunting, look, this little rabbit lantern is really unique."

"Yes, Miss." Yunting responded respectfully. Ye Wanwan suddenly remembered that she is now a vicious and arrogant lady. She quickly restrained the smile on her face, picked up the shelf, and continued to walk slowly.

She has been walking on this street for several days, but she has never seen Qi Youan. According to the records in the book of tribulations, their first meeting should be in the dark alley at the corner of the street.

Ye Wanwan came to the dark alley and looked around casually. Suddenly, a dirty hand stretched out from the depths of the alley and grabbed her ankle tightly.

"Ah!" Ye Wanwan screamed in panic, but she was ecstatic in her heart: It's finally here!

"How dare you!" Yun Ting was quick to push the hand away, standing in front of Ye Wanwan, and shouted, "Who dares to be rude to the young lady!"

A young man dressed as a beggar was crawling on the ground, with unkempt hair, ragged clothes, and stains on his face, and his true appearance was almost invisible. His body was covered with scars, and he had obviously experienced a lot of hardships. He raised his head and said in a hoarse and weak voice: "Miss... please give me a bite of food..."

Ye Wanwan glanced at him with a tone full of sarcasm: "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of begging for food from this young lady?"

Qi Youan knelt on the ground, and his forehead hit the ground heavily, making a dull sound. Although his voice was weak, it was filled with a kind of persistence and determination: "As long as the young lady is willing to give me a bite of food, I am willing to do anything. The young lady is so kind, I will never refuse even if I die!"

"Never refuse even if I die?" Ye Wanwan sneered, gently covering half of her face with the round fan in her hand, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, "There are so many people who have died for me, is it your turn?" Then she turned around and left without hesitation.

Qi Youan was still kneeling in the same place, the blood on his forehead mixed with mud was particularly dazzling. He raised his head and looked at Ye Wanwan's departing back, a gleam of surprise flashed in his eyes, this opportunity was missed. If

I don't accept him this time, I can go to the black market to buy him tomorrow. There is nothing wrong with this plot, Ye Wanwan thought.
