Chapter Forty-Four Do You Believe Me?

  "You said so yourself." Ye Yun walked straight forward, her footsteps didn't slow down one bit.

  "Yes." Xing'er followed closely behind Ye Yun, saying, "Miss Shi Man, actually with the Young Master..."

  "I know what happened between them in the past." Ye Yun interrupted An Qi lightly.

  She didn't want to hear it again.

  "Was it Master Zhang who told his wife?" asked Xing'er.

  Ye Yun suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned around, and looked at Xing Er with a piercing gaze, "What's the difference?"

  Xing'er hastily lowered her head and retreated two steps back.

  What a thoughtful little girl. Ye Yun glanced at Xing'er with a faint gaze and continued walking forward.

  Xing'er quietly let out a breath and followed again.

  "Madam, please forgive me for speaking out of turn."

  "You speak." She actually wanted to hear what else she had to say.

  "This point, everyone is unaware of it, even the master and miss are also completely in the dark." Xing Er said mysteriously, and even added a bit of suspense.

  Ye Yun's mouth corners slightly curled up, intentionally making a very interested sound.

  "Oh? What is it?"

  Xing'er took a few steps forward, closely following Ye Yun's back, and lowered her voice to say: "Miss Shi Man, on the surface she looks gentle and soft, pretending to be weak in front of Master Zhuang, and playing the role of an open-minded and virtuous lady in front of Miss, but in reality she has a ruthless heart."

  "Oh?" This made Ye Yun somewhat unexpected, but she wasn't that stupid either. She heard the wind and thought of rain, "She disguised herself so well, how did you know?"

  "I also saw it by chance. One time, I went to the rice flour shop on the street and happened to see Miss Shi Man buying rice flour inside. With that arrogant attitude, she pointed at the boss and said that she would be the mistress of Ling Mu Mountain Villa in the future, and even slapped the table loudly!"

  Xing'er's words seemed to have some truth to them, but Ye Yun didn't entirely believe her either.

  Someone who disguises himself so well would fail in a water powder shop? Isn't that too unhuman?

  "Oh?" Ye Yun responded faintly.

  As for Ye Yun's lukewarm attitude, Xing Er felt a little nervous, but didn't dare say anything more and only awkwardly said: "Although I don't know what Miss Shi Man wants to see the madam about, it's still best if the madam is careful."

  At this time, they had already walked to the entrance of the hall. Ye Yun came back to her senses and looked at Xing'er with a deep and meaningful gaze, "You have a heart."

  Xing'er lowered her head in fear, "I don't dare."

  Why are there so many thoughts and eyes on these two? Ye Yun turned around and walked into the hall with a gloomy face.

  Ye Yun was not unfamiliar with Shi Man, after all, she had painted her portrait and seen her a few times outside, and also heard some things about her and Ling Feng.

  As for why Shi Man looked for her, Ye Yun more or less guessed it.

  I don't know what kind of words or actions would come out of Ling Feng's mouth when he says "clever" to a woman, and Ye Yun was really curious.

  Ye Yun directly walked up to the host's seat and sat down. The table that she had smashed earlier had been replaced with an identical one.

  Schumann stood up very politely, "Nice to meet you, ma'am."

  "No need for formalities. I'm not a Mrs. yet, no need to address me as such." Ye Yun waved her hand.

  "The wind... Ling Zhuangzhu had long since announced to the world that his wife was the mistress of Ling Muxuan Manor, and they would get married on a auspicious day. Now everyone in the world knows about it." Shi Man said softly, her expression unchanged, but with a hint of bitterness in her eyes.

  The action is really fast! Ye Yun's eyes flashed with a hint of light, and the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile. "He's indeed impatient. I wonder why Miss Shi Man came to my door early in the morning, what's the matter?"

  "I..." Ximan raised her head and glanced at Xing'er beside her.

  Ye Yun understood Shi Man's meaning and turned her head to say to Xing Er: "Xing Er, you go down first."

  "Yes." Xing'er obediently retreated.

  "Now you can say it." Ye Yun lazily leaned back in her chair, like a cat that hadn't woken up yet, and slightly narrowed her eyes.

  Schumann stood up again, suddenly knelt down on one knee and fell to the ground.

  Ye Yun's eyes flashed, and she didn't move at all, asking: "What is Miss Shi doing?"

  "I," Shiman lowered his head, his voice immediately choked with sobs, "beg of you, madam, to grant me this!"

  "Really? What do you want me to fulfill?"

  "I am willing to be a concubine. No, as long as I can be with Feng, even being a maid is fine. Please, madam, grant my wish and let me stay by Feng's side." Shi Man said, almost prostrating herself on the ground.

  Feng? Ye Yunlan sneered, having just addressed him as Master Zhuang, but now he was being so familiar.

  "I remember, it was you who left without saying goodbye at first, wasn't it? Not Ling Feng abandoning you. What does it mean that you want to come back now?" How interesting!

  "I... " Shi Man stood up straight, her entire face flushed red. "I can only be with Feng... At first, I left without saying goodbye because Old Madam forced me to, and I had no choice, so... But this lifetime, except for Feng, I won't possibly marry anyone else."

  "What? Must marry? What's the reason? Tell me." Looking at the strange red color on her face, Ye Yun had already guessed the reason she wanted to say, but it was more interesting to let her say it herself.

  Schumann lowered his head and whispered: "I have long been a man of the wind."

  As expected! This Ling Feng, with an ascetic expression, would actually do something like that before marriage?

  "I didn't know such things existed." Yeyun said slowly, supporting her head with one hand, "However, I'm not good at making decisions on the spot. You go back first, let me think about it for two days."

  "But, madam..." Shu Man hastily lifted her head to say something else, but received Ye Yun's sharp gaze and immediately shut her mouth.

  "I've already said I'll consider it, what more are you dissatisfied with?" Ye Yun said coldly. "Go back! Someone come and see the guest out!"

  Ye Yun gave the order to drive away guests, and Shi Man didn't dare stay any longer. She quickly got up, lest she be seen by the servants, which would have damaged her reputation when she later became the mistress of Ling Mu Manor.

  Shi Man walked out of Ling Mu Mountain Villa, her originally bitter face had now turned sharp and cold. She sneered, "Hmph! This place will eventually belong to me."

  Ye Yun had just spoken casually, but her face already showed anger, and driving her out was the best proof.

  Men all dislike women who are jealous and unreasonable.

  She had known before that Ye Yun was a shrew who had offended all her elders at home.

  A shrew like her would never listen to her husband's explanation. She must go find Ling Feng and make a big scene.

  At that time, Ling Feng will definitely think of her gentleness and goodness, she will add a bit more effort, the position of the mistress of Ling Mushan Villa will definitely be hers.

  Ye Yun walked quickly back to Tingfeng Building with a solemn expression.

  Xing'er followed behind her, step by step, not daring to make a sound, clearly sensing that Ye Yun's mood was off.

  Ye Yun suddenly pushed open the door, and at this time Ling Feng had already stood up. Seeing Ye Yun's fiery appearance, he couldn't help but frown, "What's wrong?"

  Did Schumann offend her?

  Ye Yun turned around, "Xing Er, you go out first, without my order, no one is allowed to approach Ting Feng Tower."

  Xing'er hastily replied, "Yes."

  After An Er left, Ye Yun glanced at the table beside Ling Feng and said: "If I smash this table to pieces, you won't have any objections, will you?"

  Ling Feng shook his head, "You like it, that's all that matters. But can I ask why?"

  "I'll tell you later. It won't work if we don't take a picture now." As soon as Ye Yun's voice fell, she slapped her palm down, the table collapsed with a loud noise, and even the blue and white porcelain teapot on the table was smashed to pieces.

  Xing'er, who was hiding outside the courtyard, was startled by the sudden noise and quickly shrank her neck, hurrying to sneak away to avoid being discovered and suffering the misfortune of the fish in the pond.

  Ye Yun patted the table and walked to the window, pushing it open a crack to take a look outside.

  He let out a breath of relief, his expression relaxed, and he chuckled to himself as he sat back down on the couch, tapping his feet and laughing softly.

  Ling Feng's face was bewildered, but seeing Ye Yun's happy smile, he also unconsciously revealed a smile.

  He walked over to Ye Yun's side and sat down, asking: "What's going on? Just now when I saw you rushing in, you were clearly furious, but now you're laughing loudly."

  "It's a funny thing, of course I want to laugh! However, with my current identity, I should be angry. So I can only vent my anger on the poor table." She was born with more strength, and slapping the table casually would be a pity for this good wood.

  "Speak up. What's going on?" Ling Feng thought for a moment, "Did Shiman say something?"

  "Ah, Master is indeed a clever person!" Ye Yun laughed loudly and said in the same tone as Ling Feng before, "However, this matter is also your bad luck. I'm just here to watch the show and happen to be playing along."

  Just a gentle voice from her husband, Ling Feng thought it sounded pleasant, but the next words somehow seemed to hint at trouble. "What do you mean? Speak quickly."

  "That's what Shiman said, you've already...that. Yeyun gave Lingfeng a ambiguous glance, "So no matter what, I can only marry you. Being a concubine or being a maid is fine, as long as I can follow you, anything is okay."

  His hair was blown back by the wind, "Did she really say that?"

  "Really! She even knelt down and begged me. Hey, without getting married, that... You're quite open-minded, aren't you!" Ye Yun's eyes were ambiguous, but Ling Feng's face turned green.

  "I never even touched her. Although we talked about marriage, I didn't even hold her hand." Ling Feng frowned with his good-looking sword-like eyebrows.

  He didn't know Schumann was this kind of person who talks nonsense!

  "What?! You can't be serious! All of you have discussed marriage, but none of you have even held hands?! This... is just too ridiculous!" Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh.

  "That's the fact. At first, I thought she was very obedient and considerate, my father urged me to marry her, and I also liked her, so I had this intention. Although she left without saying goodbye, which made me a bit angry... But... I never had any physical contact with her!" Ling Feng explained hastily, afraid that Ye Yun wouldn't believe him.

  "So, it's really just like I guessed. She came to cheat me?" Ye Yun had thought of this possibility before, but didn't think it would actually be true.

  Ling Feng saw Ye Yun's calm expression and asked: "Do you believe me?"
