A red apricot is about to cheat on you

Chapter 119 Laughing at Your Pathetic

Yi Duoer's expression was as solemn as a dark cloud.

Seeing this, Yi Yuanxiao winked at Yi Zhier and Yi Qianyang, signaling them to go down first. Although Yi Zhier and Yi Qianyang were a little confused, they still retreated quietly.

Yi Zhier looked unhappy and pursed her lips slightly, but under her father's strictness, she had no choice but to do as he said.

After everyone left, the huge room became quiet and a little depressing.

Yi Yuanxiao then slowly opened his mouth and asked what happened to Yi Duoer. Yi Duoer did not respond, but walked to the stool and sat down, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Did you really collude with the bandits? Did you embezzle the money for the official salt?" Yi Duoer finally put down her teacup and asked softly. Her eyes were gloomy, like a bottomless cold pool, staring straight at Yi Yuanxiao.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yi Yuanxiao's body trembled violently, as if struck by lightning.

A look of panic instantly appeared on his face. He quickly stood up and walked to Yi Duoer. With a noticeable tremor in his voice, he asked:

"Where did you hear that?"

Yi Duoer saw his reaction and understood what was going on. It seemed that An Tingfeng hadn't lied to her. Her father had really done something that could cost the whole family their lives.

She sighed slightly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone: "Father, you are so confused!"

When Yi Yuanxiao heard this, his eyes flickered a little, and he stammered, "I... I just love money. I didn't embezzle all the official salt and silver. It's just... just a little bit."

He tried to defend himself, but his pale words seemed so powerless in the face of such a serious crime.

Yi Yuanxiao then asked Yi Duoer where she got the news from. Yi Duoer's heart tightened. She felt like telling her father that he would make a big deal out of it.

So I didn't tell him, but just warned him seriously:

"From now on, don't do this anymore. Just stop now. Now that I know everything, maybe the emperor will hear about it. Confiscating the entire Yi Mansion will be a light punishment."

Yi Yuanxiao was a timid person.

Although he felt a little reluctant, he still agreed. A look of reluctance appeared on his face, and he said:

"Duo'er, if you behave well as the Princess of Night, you might even aspire to be the Queen in the future. Your father would never take such a risk."

After saying this, he sighed helplessly.

Yi Duoer interrupted him without hesitation and said unhappily, "Hurry up and deal with all the troubles behind you. Don't worry, I will find a way to obtain and destroy the evidence."

Yi Yuanxiao knew that Yi Duoer must have encountered a lot of trouble, so he could only quickly agree. What he had to do was not to cause trouble for his daughter.

But he couldn't help but nag, asking Yi Duo'er to speak well of Chu Junye and let her return to the Ye Palace. Yi Duo'er frowned and gave him a cold look in response.

Seeing this, Yi Yuanxiao waved his hands helplessly: "Okay, okay... I won't say anything more. Well, it's up to you. If you get tired of living outside, just go home. Your room will be carefully cleaned every day!"

He looked at his daughter in front of him, his thoughts drifting away, thinking of her mother, his heart filled with guilt, and a look of sadness on his face.

Yi Duoer was stunned for a moment, and some vague memories flashed through her mind, but she quickly regained her composure.

For a moment, she couldn't see through Yi Yuanxiao, but she still gave him a nice smile and replied "OK".

Yi Yuanxiao felt relieved to see that Yi Duoer could talk to him nicely this time, and asked her to have her meal before leaving.

Yi Duoer refused. She didn't have time to stay here. Yi Yuanxiao respected her decision. He knew that his daughter had her own things to do, so he said:

"If there's anything you need me to do, just send someone to tell me." Yi Duoer nodded and said okay, then turned and left the room.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they walked to a backyard and turned the corner, they saw Yu Shu. Yu Shu stood there, head lowered, not daring to look directly at Yi Duoer. He just called out softly, "Miss..." The voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

Yi Duoer was stunned at first, a complex expression in her eyes: surprise, emotion, and a hint of barely perceptible sadness. After a moment, she said softly, "Get up..." and prepared to leave.

Yu Shu suddenly called her, and Yi Duoer turned around and looked at her with a hint of confusion in her eyes.

Yu Shu raised his head, his eyes full of regret, and said, "Miss, I was bewildered before, but now I know I was wrong.

I also want to come back to you, serve you wholeheartedly, and make up for what I did before." Her eyes were full of expectation, hoping that Yi Duoer would forgive her.

But when Yi Duoer learned that Yu Shu had betrayed her, her heart was like being wrapped in a layer of ice.

So, Yi Duoer coldly rejected her: "No need, you can do whatever you want!"

After saying that, he turned around and left, leaving Yu Shu standing there. Yu Shu's face became extremely heavy, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

Night King's Mansion——————-

The sky gradually darkened.

Yi Duoer came to the outside of the Night King's Mansion and looked at this familiar yet unfamiliar mansion coldly.

This was the first place she came to in this world, but she hadn't been here for a long time.

Yi Duoer took a deep breath and was about to step in when the guards at the door looked hesitant. They didn't know whether they should stop Yi Duoer. They looked at each other.

Yi Duoer saw their difficulties and said softly:

"Don't worry, I'm just going in to get my things back. You don't have to tell Chu Junye that I was here!"

The guards hesitated for a moment, then agreed. One of them said, "Miss, please go in and get your things, then come out quickly." Yi Duoer nodded slightly and said, "Thank you very much!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yi Duoer stepped in, Zhu Qingxue slowly walked out.

When she saw Yi Duoer, she showed a disdainful expression on her face, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and said with a hint of sarcasm:

"Oh, I thought sister, you would never come back. Is life tough out there? Do you want to come back and ask for shelter?" Her tone showed her harsh intentions to the fullest.

After saying that, she rolled her eyes at Yi Duoer, and her eyes were like a sharp knife, trying to hurt Yi Duoer's self-esteem.

Yi Duoer folded her arms and looked at Zhu Qingxue with a look that was like looking at a piece of shit. A hint of ridicule appeared on the corner of her mouth as she retorted:

"When did Chu Junye ask for a mistress? Oh no... He has so many concubines in his house. How many mistresses do you have, Zhu Qingxue?" Yi Duoer's tone was frivolous and full of mockery.

After hearing this, Zhu Qingxue hated Yi Duoer because what Yi Duoer said was the truth and she couldn't refute it at all.

She had indeed not yet married Chu Junye. Every time she mentioned to Chu Junye intentionally or unintentionally when he would marry her,

Chu Junye always found excuses to refuse, which made her feel full of resentment, and she blamed Yi Duoer for all the resentment.

"Yi Duo'er, don't be so proud. Aye said that he will marry me as his principal wife soon. Why are you back now? There is no place for you here anymore." Zhu Qingxue's tone was cold.

Yi Duoer ignored her. She was too lazy to engage in such a boring argument with Zhu Qingxue. She didn't even want to look at Zhu Qingxue and continued to walk inside.

Zhu Qingxue was furious when she saw that she had ignored her. She suddenly stepped in front of Yi Duoer, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, her fair cheeks flushed slightly with anger, and she looked extremely angry.

She continued to scold, "Don't act like you're so noble. You have no fame to gain, and no profit to make. Aren't you just begging him to let you come back? Why are you pretending to be so noble? Why are you pretending to be so aloof?" Her words were like sharp arrows, shooting at Yi Duoer.

After hearing her words, Yi Duoer couldn't help but laugh, with a hint of sarcasm and a hint of pity in her smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Qingxue asked her unhappily, the anger in her eyes burning even more fiercely.

Yi Duoer said coldly: "Do you think you are pitiful? For a man, you forget yourself. You embarrass a woman of the same sex as you. I laugh at you for being pitiful and pathetic!"

But Zhu Qingxue couldn't understand what she said. She grew up in the inner courtyard of the mansion and had seen too many women in the backyard fighting for favor.

In her opinion, jealousy and intrigue are the way women survive.

Therefore, Yi Duoer's thoughts were like a fairy tale to her. When she heard these words, she only felt angry, and there was no other meaning.

"Duo'er is back!" Just when the two were in a stalemate, Chu Junye's familiar voice came over, breaking the tense atmosphere.
