Volume 2: Eagle vs. Dragon Chapter 90: Seizing the Ship

Tanka Sanniang was very surprised.
The relationship between her and Wu Chengjian was not known to the whole city, but at least the people in Xiguan Street knew it very well. Although she knew Wu Chengjian first and Wu and Ye got married later, from the perspective of the world, she, Tan Sanniang, was just a "concubine", and Ye Youyu was the "main wife".
This Huachahao belongs to Tan Sanniang, and it can be regarded as a private plot of land for Tan Sanniang. But in the eyes of the world, it is also Wu Chengjian's - at least Wu Chengjian bought it from his private property, and it is not considered a public property of Yihehang. Ye Youyu took over the Ye family's house affairs, and it was natural for him to intervene in Wu Chengjian's private property issues. Since Wu Chengjian got married, the third young lady seemed to be unaware of the matter of Huachahao, but today Ye Youyu suddenly came, so it was no wonder that Bihe was nervous.
"Don't be nervous." Tan Sanniang said, "Let's go and meet the distinguished guest."
She and Bihe walked outside, one in front of the other, and saw two rows of people standing on the huge deck, both men and women. The men were led by Wu Qi and the women were led by Xia Qing. They were the male servants and maids in Wu Chengjian's room, a total of sixteen people.
Bi He looked at the scene and thought, "What is this? Taking advantage of Hao Guan's absence, she came here to act like a big wife?"
In front of the birdcage made of roses, there was a pair of maids and servants - they were Dongxue and Changzi, but Bihe didn't recognize them - guarding a woman. Judging from her attire, it should be the third young lady of the Wu family.
Dongxue called out, "Third Young Lady, here she comes."
Only then did Ye Youyu turn around.
When Wu Ye got married last year, the two had seen each other across the boat, but this was the first time they met in person.
When Tan Sanniang saw her, she thought to herself, "Haoguan is so lucky. He married such a good wife. I... I should be happy for him." Although she said this to herself, she felt a little bitter in her heart.
Ye Youyu thought in her heart: "With such demeanor and such charm, no wonder he has been on my mind for so long." Although she came here to do serious business today, she still couldn't help feeling sad.
She took two steps forward, and Tan Sanniang also came over to greet her. Ye Youyu bowed and said, "Hello, sister."
Tan Sanniang quickly returned the greeting: "I dare not, hello, Third Young Madam."
Ye Youyu was going to do something rude today, so he had to make such a scene. If Tan Sanniang refused to cooperate or was aggressive, Ye Youyu would be fine. However, seeing her humble attitude, he felt a little reluctant. He thought to himself, "If I let him know what I'm going to do today, he'll probably be angry. It's better to say less than more. Let him hate me if he wants to."
She got straight to the point and said, "Sister, although this is our first meeting, you are very sensitive to the recent events of the Wu family, so I am sure you are aware of them. So I came here today because I have no business."
After hearing what she said directly, Tan Sanniang was a little worried that something bad might have happened to Wu Chengjian, so she hurriedly said, "Third Young Madam, you are welcome. If you have anything to say, please speak directly."
Ye Youyu said, "I have something to do, so I need to borrow this flower."
When Bi He heard this, she almost jumped up and said angrily: "This...what do you mean!"
But he had already been held down by Tan Sanniang.
Bi He shouted, "Miss, they are taking advantage of Hao Guan's absence to bully you!"
Last year, when the Wu family was in great trouble, Tan Sanniang proposed to sell the boat to help them out. However, when Tan Sanniang proposed the idea, it showed that they were very righteous, but when the third young lady of the Wu family proposed it, it had a different meaning.
Tan Sanniang shouted, "Shut up!" She and Bihe were like sisters, and they rarely spoke in such a loud voice as today.
Bi He's eyes suddenly turned red with grievance. Among the Wu family's servants: there was the maidservant under Qiu Wen's charge, who thought that the Third Young Lady was very powerful, taking advantage of Hao Guan's absence to bring people to the door to expose the mistress; there were Chang Zi and Dong Xue, although they didn't quite understand what their mistress was going to do, but they helped their mistress anyway; there was Xia Qing, who had been close to Ye Youyu several times, and couldn't help but feel puzzled by her actions at this time; and finally, there was Wu Qi, who looked at her nose, as if he saw nothing.
Tan Sanniang forced a smile and said, "Although Hao Guan pointed this Huachahao to me, it is still the property of the Wu family. If Third Young Lady wants to use it, just take it back. It can't be said to be a loan."
Seeing her so modest, Ye Youyu felt even worse. However, this was not the time to be soft-hearted. She also needed to make sure that everyone in Xiguan thought she was a powerful and vicious wife. Some things could not be said openly, so she just said, "Thank you very much, sister."
She actually accepted it so calmly.
Tan Sanniang couldn't help but be a little surprised. Bihe was so angry that her face turned red. She pointed at him and shouted, "You...you...you..."
Ye Youyu pretended not to see Bihe and continued, "Sister, you are very understanding. I am very grateful to you. But things are urgent. Can you please pack up? I have already found a place for you to stay."
It was heard that not only did she not refuse, but she even drove the guest away on the spot. Her two sentences were polite and light, but the more indifferent she acted, the more the maids and servants on this side and the sailors and fishermen on the other side secretly felt that the third young master of the Wu family was sweet-mouthed but had a sharp tongue.
Bihe was already shaking with anger, and she shouted, "Girl, girl!"
She hoped that Tan Sanniang would at least stand up and fight today no matter what. Even if she couldn't win, at least she couldn't be so cowardly - besides, the Hua Cha was so big, with so many maids and servants, even if Ye Youyu brought so many people up, he would not have the advantage in numbers - besides, the ship's deed of the Hua Cha was also in the hands of Tan Sanniang, so as long as she was willing to fight back, she would not have to be bullied in vain.
Tan Sanniang was also feeling uncomfortable. Although she had just expressed her willingness to give in, Ye Youyu not only wanted her to leave, but also wanted her to move out immediately. This was a bit too aggressive.
After all, she was once the most popular prostitute in the Immortal Continent, so she still had some pride. She had been fighting with others in the entertainment industry for many years and had never lost to anyone. As soon as she got angry, she was ready to fight back - with the eloquence she had honed over the years, she might not be at a disadvantage at this time.
However, before she could finish her words, she suddenly saw Ye Youyu dressed like a young lady - this was the standard attire for a respectable and wealthy family in Guangzhou - she immediately thought of the difference in status between herself and the other party, and couldn't help but feel bitter: "Why should I do this? Why should I do this? Even if I win the fight now, what will I mean? It's just that a concubine won the argument with the main wife, and if it gets out, people will laugh at me."
Unlike Ye Youyu who has been working hard to improve herself for more than ten years, behind the beauty and kindness of Tan Sanniang, there is always a deep sense of inferiority hidden deep in her heart.
She swayed a few times, supported Bihe, and finally did not lose her temper. She nodded patiently and said, "Okay, I... I'll go pack it now..." She suddenly laughed bitterly, "Actually, there's nothing to pack, just a few sets of clothes to change. Bihe, you... go and help me pack some clothes..."
Bihe didn't expect Sanniang to give up like this, and she burst into tears: "Girl!"
Tan Sanniang shouted, "Go!"
Bihe paused, then left, hiding her tears from her face.
Seeing how her master and servant reacted, Ye Youyu felt even more guilty. However, since the other party was willing to give in, she didn't want to create any more trouble. She bowed and said, "I'm sorry, sister."
In the eyes of others, however, they all felt that the gift from the Third Young Lady of the Wu Family was like a mockery of the victor.
"No need!" After all, Tan Sanniang had experienced the storms of the Immortal Continent. After a while, her heart calmed down. Her face turned cold and her tone became indifferent: "It's just returning the property to its original owner."
 
Tanka Sanniang was an extremely self-abased and arrogant person. She said she would take a few pieces of clothes, and then she took Bihe and left on the Tanka fishing boat. She did not take away any of the countless good things that Wu Chengjian had given her, including the ship's deed to the Huacha, and countless gold, silver, treasures and jewelry.
After the master and servant left, Dongxue wanted to go into the room to check, but Ye Youyu ordered Sanniang's cabin to be sealed up and not a single thread was allowed to be moved.
 
Wu Chengjian is a prominent figure in Baietan, and Tan Sanniang is the legendary courtesan of Shenxianzhou. However, Wu Chengjian had just entered the area a few days ago, and today his first wife stepped on the flower shop and snatched this garden on the sea from Tan Sanniang.
As soon as the news spread, the entire Shenxian Continent exploded.
Such a big drama, even if no one saw it with their own eyes, just hearing about it would be enough to make people talk about it for three months.
This Shenxian Island was originally a news distribution center in the Guangdong region. It didn't take long for the background of the third young lady of the Wu family to be exposed. Not only did everyone know that the third young lady was not born of a legitimate wife, they even knew some secrets of the past, including how Ye Dalin's principal wife, Ma, took advantage of Ye Dalin's absence and went straight to the door to humiliate Ye Dalin's favorite mistress, and the mistress who was humiliated happened to be the biological mother of the third young lady Ye.
"This is really amazing!" A guest from the Immortal Continent said, "So it's a family tradition. But it's very strange that the third young mistress of the Wu family didn't learn the methods of her biological mother, but the methods of her stepmother."
Someone then said, "You don't understand. Whenever these illegitimate children were bullied when they were young, they would often find someone to take revenge on them when they grow up, if they have the chance. This is how they can feel relieved. And the means they use to take revenge on others are often very similar to those of the people who bullied them. This is what it means to be the one who was bullied in the past, and now bully others."
What this person said was actually a common thing in the world, so the people around him responded one after another: "That makes sense, that makes sense!"
After all, Shenxianzhou is Wu Chengjian's home turf, so there are inevitably people who help Wu Chengjian. Because they help Wu Chengjian in their hearts, they don't want the Wu family's young mistress to have a bad reputation, so they want to help clear it up: "Speaking of which, the Wu family is in big trouble, and suddenly they come to ask for this big ship, maybe they want to do something serious."
"What business?" Then a knowledgeable person laughed and said, "Guess what happened after the third young lady of the Wu family took away the flower number?"
"What's going on?" everyone asked.
But Zhi "" laughed and said: "Not long after she seized the Huacha, her brothers boarded the ship one after another. After that, the Huacha was filled with lewd music, and the two best Shunde cooks from Shenxianzhou were also called away. Now there is wine and meat on the Huacha, and the brothers of the Ye family are having fun on board."
Now, even those who wanted to take sides felt that the third young lady of the Wu family had no chance of exonerating herself.
 
Shenxian Island is the news distribution center of Guangzhou. News from all over will converge here, and at the same time, the news here will quickly spread to all directions. In just half a day, half of Guangzhou Prefecture knew about it.
Not only did the Wu family and the Ye family know about it, but even Cai Qinghua, who was concerned about the Wu family's situation, heard about it. After hearing this, he couldn't help but sneer: "Women are stupid, women are stupid!"
He was different from the spectators outside. He had a deeper understanding of the Wu Chengjian case. Seeing that the Wu family was about to fall, his wife took the opportunity to expose her husband's mistress. "Women are so stupid! It's really stupid!"
However, he was a man who wanted to do great things after all, so he just shook his head and sneered twice, then let the matter go and ignored it.
