Chapter 51: A Rumor that Went Wild (1)

Translator: Night Fury

The rumor that the third young miss of Ye Family, namely the future Princess Ding, was kidnapped by bandits really shook the capital . It was already spread to all corners of the capital not long after Ye Li was kidnapped . As for rumors, if silenced by force, it would only get worse . Therefore, no one from the Ye Family, Xu Family or Prince Li's Manor had commented on it on the surface . The next morning when Ye Li took the carriage home from Xu Manor with a handsome reward from the palace, escorted by the second and third son of Xu Family, people started to doubt the rumor . After all, people who passed by, accidently or intentionally, inadvertently saw that the third young miss of Ye Family was in good health and spirits, and that she looked far from someone who had been kidnapped a short while ago . And the two sons of Xu Family, including the third son who was said to have a hot temper and outspoken, seemed normal . So... Was the information of yesterday nothing more than a malicious rumor?

Ye Li absent-mindedly listened to Qing Shuang talked endlessly about what she heard outside and laughed at those comments .

Of course third older brother is able to act normal in front of everyone since he let out his anger at last night's bandits who overrated themselves .

Recalling the heavy smell of blood that filled the mountain stronghold and the murderous look on third older brother's face when getting down from the mountain with Mo Xiu Yao last night, Ye Li was quite sure that Xu Family, a family of scholars and officials, was going to groom a general . Ye Li would not concern herself with what Mo Xiu Yao was going to do with those bandits . No matter they fled to the capital from other places or they were locally born and bred, it would be better if the world got rid of them .

"Third young miss of Ye Family . "

A loud and clear voice came from outside, Qing Luan drew her sword immediately and pointed it at the young man who suddenly appeared by the window . Ye Li pulled Qing Luan's arm down with a smile . She turned and grinned: "Mr . Han, I trust you have been well since we parted?"

Outside of the window, it was her kidnapper Han Ming Yue who she just parted with last night . Han Ming Yue could only force a laugh: "Third young miss, do you think I look well?" A moment earlier, as soon as he walked into the yard, he felt secret glares on him like tigers eyeing their preys . He did not doubt one bit that if he took a reckless action, the master of Tian Yi Pavilion would disappear from this world quietly .

Taking out a wooden box with carving on it, Han Ming Yue put it on the edge of the window and said: "A little something to help you get over the shock and a gift to your engagement with Xiu Yao . I'm not sure whether I can make it to your wedding . "

Ye Li nodded, without looking at the box, she asked: "Mr . Han, are you preparing to leave the capital?"

Han Ming Yue grinned: "I've gone through quite some horrifying experiences lately . Being in the south comforts me more . I would love for you and Xiu Yao to visit the south sometime . I will certainly be the best host for you . "

Ye Li smiled and said: "Mr . Han, you are being too kind . "

Han Ming Yue raised his eyebrows and said: "Then... How about we let what happened in the past remain in the past?"

Ye Li shifted her glances slightly and smiled: "Sure . Let us bury what happened between you and me in the past .

Any misunderstanding between you and Mo Xiu Yao is yours to clear up . " Han Ming Yue was a little disappointed, but he knew that he was asking too much of Ye Li . In addition, he really admired Ye Li for knowing what to say and what not to say . Then, without further delay, he cupped his hand at Ye Li and said: "I will be leaving now . "
