Chapter 45: Bride Price and Returning

Chapter 45: Bride Price and Returning

"This servant thanks the life-saving grace of Third Young Miss."

Concubine Zhao knelt in front of Ye Li, an elegant dress that made her beauty more enchanting, completely different from her previous appearance.

Ye Li raised a hand to signal Qing Luan to help her up. With a soft voice, she said: "No need for the ceremony. Once you have arrived in Yunzhou, there is nothing more to worry about. Naturally, there will be someone that has already arranged everything."

Concubine Zhao nodded and said: "This servant believes the words of Third Young Miss to be as heavy as a mountain. This servant knows her place and will rest her mind as she raises the child." She bent her head and stared at her flat stomach; Concubine Zhao's eyes showed affection and adoration. In the future, this child will be her everything.

Ye Li nodded and instructed Qing Shuang: "Take out bank notes worth 500 teals for Concubine Zhao. Consider it money for the road."

Qing Shuang loudly answered; Concubine Zhao looked at Ye Li with gratefulness.

The entire manor was under the control of Wang-shi; of course, this included all of the surrounding properties. Wang-shi deducting her allowance was an inevitable thing; although she had some silver saved up, it was not much. In the entire Ye Manor, with the exception of the Old Madam and the Master, only Third Young Miss could take out such a large sum of money at once.

Concubine Zhao understood that though Third Young Miss was not a warmhearted person, as long as one understood their place, she was definitely a reliable person. "Thanking Third Young Miss for her pity."

"Once there, there will be someone responsible for your safety and the child. With father here, she won't dare to be too blatant. But if you want a good life over there, it would depend on your own skills." Ye Li faintly reminded. Anyways, that place did not belong to her. If Concubine Zhao had the ability to control the house, the child would fair better.

Concubine Zhao was dazed, startled that Ye Li was able to see her intentions. However, she had already opened her mouth. The Xu family would help to some extent; as long as she can take control of this place, Yunzhou can become a good place for her and her child. Thinking to here, Concubine Zhao hurriedly thanked Ye Li once again. A bit more admiration rose in her heart.

"Young Miss, the bride price from Prince Ding's Manor has arrived." Qing Yu happily came to inform Ye Li. "Master and Old Madam invites you to hurry over and take a look."

Ye Li nodded. Seeing the strange expression on Qing Yu's face, she frowned and asked: "Is there more?"

The happiness on Qing Yu's face turned a bit complicated. She looked at Ye Li and said: "His Highness Prince Li and Fourth Young Miss has also returned." Today is Ye Ying's official return. One does not know if it was deliberate or if there could be something so coincidental. Fourth Young Miss's return and Third Young Miss's bride price had come on the same day.

Ye Li was a bit surprised. She had almost forgotten that Ye Ying would return today. "Has something happened?"

Qing Yu pouted and said: "Prince Li and our Young Miss's groom arrived at about the same time. And that gloomy face, acting as if someone owed him tens of thousands of silvers and not repaying. Really bad luck!"

"Presumptuous." Ye Li lightly reprimands. Qing Yu blinked a few times, couldn't hear any hints of anger from her Young Miss and stuck her tongue out. Covering her mouth, she ran to the side to hide.

Qing Shuang held a plain white purse and gave it to Ye Li. Ye Li turned and gave the bag to Concubine Zhao. "You can consider this a gift for my younger brother. When the time comes, I will not be able to send concubine off."
