Forced to Ascend the Throne after Transmigrating

Chapter 67: Caught in adultery

“Are you okay?” The little girl was small, but she looked quite genuine when she was comforting people.

The concerned look in the other party’s eyes made Ye Shuo, the fake child, feel a little uncomfortable for some reason.

But Ye Shuo was so thick-skinned that he recovered in a blink of an eye, then shook his head slightly to indicate that it didn’t matter to him.

“Thank you…”

“Wow, beggar, your voice is so nice.” Just now on the second floor, the little girl was so busy arguing with her master that she didn’t listen carefully at all. Now that she was in close contact, she found that the beggar’s voice was clear and cool, and his pronunciation was also clear, which was very pleasant to the ear.

“You have beautiful eyes, too.”

The black and white are distinct, and the bottom is clear.

The little girl, as if she had discovered a new world, came closer to take a closer look out of curiosity.

As a child, she followed her master outside every day, so she didn’t have so many ideas about the distinction between men and women. The little girl had the mentality of a child and did whatever she wanted.

But Ye Shuo was an adult, and he had no intention of taking advantage of a little girl. When he saw the other party approaching, he could only keep backing away.

The more the girl stared at the little beggar, the more handsome he was.

Even the thick layer of black mud on his face could not hide his stunning facial features. Also, his eyelashes were so long, longer than his own, and trembling. At the moment, he seemed to be frightened and kept shaking, looking weak and harmless.

In this way, Ye Shuo was quickly forced into a corner.

Xing Yucheng, who was being ignored, was completely confused and couldn’t react to what was going on.

With a “bang”, Ye Shuo’s back hit the wall, and the little girl suddenly reacted.

Seeing the child’s eyes slightly watery and his gaze constantly dodging, the little girl finally remembered what she had just done.

“Yes, yes, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean it!”

Oh my God, the little beggar is miserable enough, what on earth am I doing!

The little girl was so embarrassed and guilty that she didn’t know where to put her hands and feet.

At the same time, another strange figure appeared outside the alley. When the little girl saw the other person, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing her subconsciously calling out “Master”, Ye Shuo immediately understood the identity of the person.

“Okay, I won’t talk to you anymore. I’ll give you all these things. Leave here quickly. Remember not to get caught again, little beggar.”

Anyway, since she didn’t like all these bits and pieces of things on her head and body, the little girl took them all off without thinking and stuffed them into Ye Shuo’s hands.

Without waiting for Ye Shuo to refuse, the girl ran out of the alley and stood in front of the man.

The man seemed to say a few words to her, and the little girl smiled foolishly. The man was helpless and didn’t say anything else.

Before leaving, the other party seemed to glance over here, but Ye Shuo was not afraid at all. After all, even his cheap master Wu Yi couldn’t tell that he knew martial arts, and Ye Shuo didn’t believe that the other party could tell.

Sure enough, it was just a glance, and the man quickly looked away.

Soon the alley became quiet, with only Cao Hu’s shrill screams remaining.

Xing Yucheng watched the Ninth Prince hesitating for a moment, then put away the two tassels, his brows slightly raised, without any trace of shyness or embarrassment on his face.

Xing Yucheng: “…”

Xing Yucheng felt that the girl had been cheated.

Ye Shuo put the lustrous crystal into his arms and was about to move when he accidentally discovered something.

He walked to Cao Hu belatedly and reached out to pick up the red string with a piece of jade tied to it. Ye Shuo touched it and found that although the quality of the jade was not as good as the one his grandfather gave him on his third birthday, it was not far behind and was also a top-grade jade.

There are two spirit fish carved on it. The shape of the spirit fish is peculiar and not very common.

Ye Shuo turned around subconsciously, trying to find the little girl, but found that the little girl and her master had disappeared.

Ye Shuo had no choice but to give up.

Cao Hu originally thought that everything would be fine after the little girl with extraordinary strength left. Only a little beggar and a young man who came from nowhere were left. They had no choice but to run away when they saw him.

As a result, the two people did not run away. After looking at each other, they walked towards him.

“What are you going to do? I warn you, I am someone close to Master Cao, and if you offend me, you will suffer the consequences—”

“Mmmmm!”

As a result, before Cao Hu could finish his words, he was kidnapped by Ye Shuo and Xing Yucheng.

Xing Yucheng had never done such a thing before. It was basically Ye Shuo who did the work. Ye Shuo’s movements were swift and skillful. Xing Yucheng couldn’t understand the way Cao Hu was tied up. He only knew that the more Cao Hu struggled, the tighter Cao Hu’s belt would be tied, which simply stunned Xing Yucheng.

“Done, done!”

Finally, he forced himself to take off Cao Hu’s socks and stuffed them into Cao Hu’s mouth. After making sure that he could not make any sound, Ye Shuo could not help but clapped his hands.

Cao Hu’s eyes widened, he couldn’t understand why the little beggar who was trembling in his hands just now suddenly became a different person.

At this time, Cao Hu didn’t know what was going on until he accidentally heard Xing Yucheng shout “Ninth Prince”. Cao Hu’s mind went blank.

The Ninth Prince…

How could this beggar be a prince? ?

Because there were households all around, there were actually quite a lot of debris piled up in the alley. Ignoring Cao Hu’s regretful and pleading look, Ye Shuo found a few pieces of debris and covered Cao Hu with them. After making sure that he would not be discovered in a short time, he left with his study companion.

Almost half an hour has passed, and I think Xiaoluzi has already made arrangements.

Ye Shuo went back to Baoyu Pavilion from the small path, and then began to look for Xiaoluzi.

In Baoyu Pavilion, Liang Wenyin barely suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and randomly selected a few pieces of jewelry. When she saw that the agreed time was almost up, she planned to ask the maid beside her to pay the money and then leave.

After all, Liang Wenyin was raised in the Taifu Mansion. Although she was hiding something in her heart, she looked calm on the surface. Therefore, Cao Rui beside her didn’t notice that she was any different today than before.

The two of them walked out of Baoyu Pavilion. After walking about a street away, they saw the prince in the alley nodding at them. Xiaoluzi, who had been waiting here for a long time, took a deep breath and rushed out with a basin of water.

As expected, all the water in Xiao Luzi’s arms was ‘given’ to the young master of the Cao family.

Cao Rui was caught off guard and felt drenched in fear.

Seeing that there were two other servants beside Cao Rui, Xiao Luzi did not dare to delay at all after pouring the water and quickly got into the crowd.

“What are you two still standing there for? Go and follow him!” First his clothes were stained with oil, and now they were soaked through. Cao Rui’s sanity finally collapsed completely.

“No matter who it is, break his arms and legs immediately after you catch him!”

As soon as the words fell, the two servants immediately started to move.

On the street, anyone who is poured cold water on will attract a large crowd of onlookers, and Cao Rui is no exception.

Some people in the crowd even recognized Cao Rui’s identity and were inevitably shocked. In fact, when encountering such a situation, everyone was surprised and curious why such a thing happened. As for those who came up and pointed and laughed at him, they were only a minority after all.

But when Cao Rui saw this scene, he felt that everyone was laughing at him.

Cao Rui’s face suddenly turned red, and he felt that he had never been so embarrassed in his life.

At this moment, Liang Wenyin had already reacted and asked her maid to fetch a cloak that she had just bought for Cao Rui in Baoyu Pavilion. Just as she was about to put the cloak on Cao Rui, Cao Rui pushed her away mercilessly.

It turned out that Cao Rui couldn’t stand the strange looks from everyone, and even Liang Wenyin started to hate him.

Liang Wenyin was caught off guard and staggered immediately.

“You clearly saw that man coming over just now, why didn’t you stop him!”

Tsk, this guy, a grown man, couldn’t even watch him or avoid him, so it’s really unreasonable to expect a woman who never leaves the house to help him stop him.

“That person left, and you didn’t even react. How could you be so stupid!”

Seeing that there was really no one else to vent his anger on, Cao Rui vented all his anger on Liang Wenyin next to him.

A person who seems to be a gentleman in normal times will become completely different once he encounters difficulties.

As he was talking, Cao Rui began to speak without thinking: “If you hadn’t been clamoring to come out today, I wouldn’t have encountered this kind of thing.”

Now, in Cao Rui’s eyes, it was his fiancée who caused him to be in such a miserable state.

“I don’t usually encounter this kind of thing. Why is it that everything changes when I’m with you? Oh, I see. These buns and basins of water are probably aimed at you, right?”

After all, his fiancée was the granddaughter of the Grand Tutor, and she was also very beautiful, so there were many people who admired her openly or secretly. Cao Rui didn’t find it strange at all if one of them did this.

Cao Rui believed that he had never offended anyone in his daily life, and he didn’t think the problem was with him. So, the only one left was his fiancée.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. When Cao Rui looked at Liang Wenyin again, his eyes immediately changed.

If this is true, even if the Grand Tutor is a top official, what does it matter? With such a shameless granddaughter, he still can’t hold his head up.

In fact, Cao Rui was not wrong. Today’s incident was indeed caused by Liang Wenyin, but the real situation was completely different from what he thought.

“Tell me, is it the Sixth Young Master of Prime Minister He’s Mansion, or the Third Young Master of Shang Shu Ling’s Family, or… the Young Marquis of Xiang Yinhou’s Family?”

Cao Rui talked more and more, but the people he mentioned had actually only met Liang Wenyin once.

Looking at Cao Rui who was pressing forward step by step, Ye Shuo in the dark couldn’t help but shake his head.

Regardless of whether this man had an affair with her cousin or had other women with him, the two points that had just been discovered were enough for his cheap niece to break off the engagement with him openly.

He is a two-faced person who is arrogant at first and respectful at last. He says one thing to your face and another behind your back. Most importantly, he is cruel and cannot control his temper. He is suspicious, irresponsible, and likes to pass the buck. He is suspected of being jealous and paranoid…

It turned out that my cheap niece and the Madam were right. This man has no good qualities except for his appearance.

Just when Ye Shuo was about to stand up, he heard a crisp “pa” sound, and when he looked closely, he found that his adopted niece was really angry. The girl who usually had a good temper could be quite scary when she got angry. Liang Wenyin slapped him immediately.

Cao Rui, who had been chattering just now, was suddenly confused.

“How dare you, how dare you hit me!?”

For a man like Cao Rui, being slapped by a woman is a great humiliation.

The blood in his body rushed backwards, and Cao Rui took action without thinking.

But since Liang Wenyin had already hit him, she naturally didn’t care about his reaction.

“My grandfather is a high-ranking official, and my aunt is the Crown Princess. If you dare to touch me, just try!”

If Liang Wenyin figured it out, with her current status, she would be able to walk all over the Great Zhou.

When Cao Rui heard this, his expression froze.

But then he thought, so what if her grandfather was a first-rank official? Anyway, her grandfather didn’t listen to her. The Grand Tutor had strongly supported their marriage and even facilitated it.

Most of Cao Rui’s concerns were immediately dispelled.

Liang Wenyin showed no sign of weakness. The arrival of the Ninth Prince undoubtedly gave her great confidence. Even if her grandfather was unreliable, she still had the Ninth Prince.

Seeing that she not only did not retreat, but the determination in her eyes became even stronger, Cao Rui’s aura inexplicably weakened, and he was suddenly not as confident as before.

Could it be possible that the Crown Princess would really help her?

Cao Rui suddenly became somewhat doubtful.

Just when he was hesitating whether to continue, Liang Wenyin first looked at him steadily, then turned and left.

Cao Rui was so angry that he wanted to dig out the eyeballs of the onlookers.

Originally, the matter was over here and there was no need to continue. Xing Yucheng had wanted to leave, but Ye Shuo was thinking, Cao Rui is so angry now, he must find a way to calm down, right?

So Ye Shuo planned to take Xing Yucheng and Xiao Luzi with him for a while.

Ye Shuo learned the skills of hiding and keeping a low profile from Wu Yi, so tracking a rookie like Cao Rui was no pressure at all.

What Ye Shuo never expected was that his sudden decision would bring him unexpected gains in the end.

Seeing that Cao Rui was wearing wet clothes, he did not choose to go back to Cao’s house. Instead, he turned several corners in a rage and then rushed into a private house near the city.

This might be… fate.

Ye Shuo asked Xiao Luzi to wet Cao Rui’s clothes. Cao Rui was such a face-conscious person that he naturally didn’t want to let his brothers who looked down on him see it, let alone let the servants in the mansion knew. Besides, Liang Wenyin had gone far away anyway, so he decisively chose to come to the small home which was closer to Cao’s mansion.

Lying on the top of the wall, Ye Shuo immediately understood what was going on when he saw the strange woman screaming and throwing herself on Cao Rui, calling him cousin.

Wow, it turns out this pair of cousins ??have never lost contact at all!

Ye Shuo recalled belatedly that today seemed to be the fifteenth day, which was exactly the middle of the month. For married women, using the excuse of going to the temple to burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of every month was indeed a good excuse to meet their lover in secret.

When Ye Shuo saw their actions, he knew that this matter would not be over for a while, and there might be something even more exciting later.

Ye Shuo did not hesitate and made a prompt decision: “You two stay here, and I will go back to the Taifu Mansion.”

Looking at Xing Yucheng and Xiao Luzi again, the two young boys who had never seen the world were already blushing because of the noise inside. They didn’t know what to do with their hands and feet. When they heard what the Ninth Prince said, they immediately panicked.

If the Ninth Prince left, they really wouldn’t know what to do.

Xing Yucheng subconsciously grabbed Ye Shuo’s arm and asked stupidly, “What are you going back to the Taifu Mansion for?”

Ye Shuo looked at him like an idiot and said, “Are you stupid? Of course, I’ll call the Master to catch the adulterer!”

Words are not enough. Ye Shuo wants the tutor to see it with his own eyes. He doesn’t believe that this engagement can be successful.

After breaking free from the other party, Ye Shuo took two steps at first, then suddenly thought of something, turned back and reminded him: “By the way, they haven’t started their business yet, don’t rush to blush, when the noise inside gets louder, remember to move away.”

It would be fine if it was just a small thing, but Ye Shuo was afraid that Xing Yucheng was too young to bear the shock and might scare the child to death.

Just like that, under the nearly desperate gazes of Xing Yucheng and Xiao Luzi, the Ninth Prince, their backbone and their reliance, disappeared in a flash.
