Traveled through time and became the darling of the whole family

"Miss." After Yifeng came back and saw Ye Ziyu, he knelt down and said, "It is my fault that I failed to protect you. Please punish me."

"What were you doing when the incident happened?" Ye Ziyu wanted to find out whether Yifeng was doing something else at the time or was right next to him and he was unable to react in time.

"The Qian family suddenly came to set up a stall, and a group of people came. I was looking over there at the time, and when the young lady had an accident, I didn't have time to respond..."

"Just focus on protecting me from now on, but I will also be careful not to get myself into any traps. Get up."

"Miss, why don't you punish your subordinates?" The old trend did not come back.

Ye Ziyu: ??? Why are there still people looking for punishment?

"Then you go to your eldest brother to receive the punishment. I don't understand the punishment of you secret guards." Ye Ziyu said lightly.

"I will follow the young lady's instructions and focus only on her whereabouts next time." After saying this, Yifeng stood up and left quickly.

Ye Ziyu chuckled.

"You're smiling so happily, it seems like it doesn't hurt anymore." Fang Jingxiu said out of the blue, startling Ye Ziyu.

Seeing Fang Jingxiu climbing in through the window again, Ye Ziyu hurriedly put her feet under the quilt. Fang Jingxiu saw everything Ye Ziyu did and his lips curled slightly.

"Young Master is getting more and more adept at climbing through windows now." Ye Ziyu said with a bad face.

"I came to bring you medicine, and you treat me like this?" Fang Jingxiu took out the ointment.

"My elder brother also has excellent ointment, so we won't waste the young marquis's ointment." Ye Ziyu smiled twice.

"Your brother's ointment is definitely not as good as mine." Fang Jingxiu said.

"Young Marquis, do you like me?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"Puff..." Fang Jingxiu, who had just poured himself a drink of water, spit out a mouthful of water...

"Please clean up this for me later," Ye Ziyu added.

"Why do you think I like you?" Fang Jingxiu asked.

"Since you don't like me, why do you always break into my room?" Ye Ziyu said.

"I..." Fang Jingxiu was speechless.

"Hmm?" Ye Ziyu raised her eyebrows.

"Do you want it or not? It's rare that this Lord Marquis is so merciful. Forget it." Fang Jingxiu took the ointment back and left through the window.

"It's incomprehensible." Ye Ziyu looked at the window.

"Ayu." Ye Qingyin pushed open the door, holding the ointment in her hand, "How could you be so careless and sprain your ankle?"

"It's okay, it will be fine after two days of rest." Ye Ziyu said with a smile.

"This is the ointment my elder brother gave me last time. It worked for me. I'll give it to you to try."

"Well, but I just applied other ointments, I'll apply this later." Li Qiu stepped forward and took the ointment.

"How was your day? Did you find the right person?"

"Well, there is a woman with a child. Her family members died in the collapse not long ago. She seems to be honest and the child is cute. I think we should not have too many employees in the shop for now. How about we slowly hire more people when the business picks up later?"

"Well, it's okay, but there's no one else in the child's family except his mother. So what about the child when I'm busy in the shop?" Ye Qingyin asked.

"I want to make some modifications to the shop and turn the second floor into a small attic for the mother and daughter to live in. This way, there will be someone to look after the shop. Food and accommodation will be provided, and the salary will be fifty copper coins per month. How do you think?"

Ye Qingyin nodded, "There's no problem with this arrangement."

"By the way, sister, have you done anything to Ye Kexin before?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"Ye Kexin? I didn't do anything to her. Although I don't like the second and third rooms, she is more honest in front of me, unlike Ye Xinhe, so I just ignore her most of the time." Ye Qingyin thought about it.

"But why is she so afraid of you?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"Maybe it's because I scolded Ye Xinhe and slapped Ye Xinhe in front of her before." Ye Qingyin disagreed.

“??? You slapped Ye Xinhe???” Ye Ziyu was shocked.

"She looked like she deserved a beating. Besides, she was still young before, so she wouldn't tolerate it. I didn't bother to talk to her verbally and just beat her."

Ye Ziyu gave Ye Qingyin two thumbs up, "Excellent."

"What's wrong? Why are you talking about her all of a sudden?"

"She came to me yesterday and said she wanted to ask me for help, but she didn't dare..."

"But it's true. She's such a coward. Tell me what's going on."

"She wants her sister to go to Master Ling and give Ye Tianrui a chance. Let Master Ling give Ye Tianrui some guidance."

"Oh, considering his age, Ye Tianrui will take part in the imperial examination today?"

"Ah."

"Although, I won't help..." Ye Qingyin said, "Even if I have an engagement with the Ling family, it's only between me and Si Chen. How can I bother Master Ling?"

"She begged me so much that I could only pass on her message. As for whether to agree or not, that will definitely be decided by my sister." Ye Ziyu said.

"Next time she comes to look for you, just tell her that I don't agree. If she still wants to persuade her, let her come to me directly and don't bother you." Ye Qingyin said.

"Miss, Miss Ling sent someone to deliver a message and it's back." Lixia came in to report.

"What was passed?"

"Miss Ling said that you can make the decision regarding the shop, and she fully supports it. But because she just returned home not long ago, it was too late for her to see the news. Also, Miss Ling said that she can't come to see you recently because she has been under house arrest by Mrs. Ling." Lixia said one by one.

"You're coming home today? Doesn't that mean you didn't come home last night?" Ye Ziyu asked.

"It should be." Lixia nodded.

"No wonder Madam Ling locked her up so tightly. Tsk tsk tsk, she actually dared not come back all night."

"So, you went there alone today?" Ye Qingyin frowned.

"Well, when the time came for my appointment with Ah Qing, Ah Qing didn't show up and no one came to report, so I went by myself."

"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let you go. I'll accompany you another day." Ye Qingyin said.

"Sister~" Ye Ziyu shook Ye Qingyin's hand, "I'm already a grown-up, and it's the beginning of autumn and the legacy, so it's okay for me to go alone. Sister, don't worry about me."

"Nothing? Then how did you sprain your ankle?" Ye Qingyin said displeased.

"This... this is just an accident." Ye Ziyu muttered softly, "Who knew that someone would suddenly give out porridge, and then a bunch of people rushed out."

Ye Qingyin didn't say anything.

"Okay, okay, next time I'll ask my sister to go with me, okay?" Ye Ziyu coaxed.

"Ayu, I'm not saying that you must be restricted in where you go or that you must stay within my sight. It's just that in a messy place like this, you need someone to accompany you." Ye Qingyin explained.

Ye Ziyu lowered her head and said nothing.

"Forget it, I won't say anything to you. Just take care of yourself. Otherwise, look who will be in pain if you get hurt like this."

"Hehe, it must be sister who is in pain. Sister loves me so much, isn't it just that the injury is in my body but the pain is in sister's heart?" Ye Ziyu said with a smile.

"Stop talking so smoothly. I'm not hurt, it's you who's hurt. Just stay at home for the next few days and don't even think about going anywhere."

"I see, I see. My elder brother also said so."

"You are so bold, Ling Bingqing, that you dare not come back all night. Do you have any manners like a lady?" Madam Ling slammed the tea table angrily. After returning from the Spring Banquet yesterday, Madam Ling had not seen Ling Bingqing. She thought that she might be playing around. This morning, she saw Ling Bingqing coming back from the gate stealthily.

Ling Bingqing, dressed in men's clothes, knelt on the ground and said, "Mom, I was just drunk for a moment and forgot the time." Ling Bingqing's voice became smaller and smaller.

"You still think you're right? An unmarried girl went out to drink with another man and got drunk. If other ladies knew about this, no one would dare to marry you!"

"If no one wants to marry me, then I won't marry." Ling Bingqing muttered.

"You...you...you are trying to piss me off to death. What are you doing if you don't want to get married? Are you just going to stay at home and wait for death? Aren't you afraid that the spit outside will drown you?"

"Why care what they think?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't want a good reputation, but what are you going to do to your father, your brother, and your sister-in-law who is not yet married? Do you think your reputation is your own? It belongs to the entire Ling Mansion!"

Ling Bingqing didn't say anything else.

"Someone, take the young lady back to her own yard and put her under house arrest. She is not allowed to step out of the yard without my permission. If the young lady runs away, you will be punished!" Mrs. Ling slammed the table, stood up and left.

"Mom, you haven't told me how long I will be under house arrest?" Ling Bingqing said.

"When you go back, copy the Women's Sutra ten times for me."

"No way, mom. Ten times is too many." Ling Bingqing wailed.

Mrs. Ling ignored her. She was really angry this time. No matter how crazy or unruly Ling Bingqing was in the past, she would never stay out all night like she did yesterday. This time she really had to punish her severely.
