Ye Youlan's daily life of traveling through time

Chapter 8 Shouldn't You Be Responsible for Me?

The carriage suddenly stopped.

Xiaomei lifted the curtain and asked the driver what was going on?

The driver said the wheel was broken and needed to be repaired.

"This is in the middle of nowhere. When will you be able to fix it?"

"About an hour."

Ye Youlan got off the carriage and saw that the wheels were cracked. She squatted down to take a closer look. The cracks were very fresh, as if someone had done them deliberately.

She stood up and looked back, and saw the Seventh Prince's carriage swaying towards her. Ye Youlan pursed her lips and tried not to laugh.

The prince's carriage stopped, Li Zhi jumped out of the carriage and asked what was going on?

Seeing the driver repairing the carriage, Li Zhi was a little worried: "How about this, Miss Ye, why don't you take my carriage back home first and let the driver repair it slowly."

Xiao Mei pulled Ye Youlan and shook her head to signal her not to agree.

Li Zhi looked at Xiaomei and said, "There's no village or shop here. You and your servant are both girls. If we run into bad guys, the driver alone won't be able to help."

Li Zhi's words took effect. Xiaomei got on the carriage and took down the package of silver. Li Zhi put the horse stool in place, and Ye Youlan got on and went inside. Xiaomei also wanted to go in, but Li Zhi stopped her with his sword and asked her to sit outside and lead the way for him.

The prince and Ye Youlan looked at each other, neither of them spoke, and turned their heads away, with a tacit understanding.

Xiaomei reminded outside: "Miss, if you need anything, please call me."

"understood."

The Seventh Prince raised his starry eyes slightly and asked her why she made such a big bet. What if he lost?

Ye Youlan smiled charmingly: "You won't lose, I know."

The Seventh Prince looked at Ye Youlan and asked, "Do you know me so well?"

Ye Youlan thinks I understand you better than you understand yourself, but I can't say it.

"It's just luck actually. I think it's pitiful that no one bet on you."

"Am I so terrible in your eyes?"

The Seventh Prince had a gloomy look in his eyes, and his gaze made Ye Youlan feel a little uncomfortable.

"You are a high and mighty prince, yet you insist on hanging around in brothels and other brothels. It's strange that you care about your own reputation now."

The Seventh Prince smiled with relief.

Suddenly he leaned forward and said, "Actually, what I care about is your attitude."

Ye Youlan pretended not to understand. She stroked her hair and said, "Seventh Prince's words are too profound. I don't quite understand."

The Seventh Prince stroked the kiss mark on his neck: "I have had physical contact with you, shouldn't you be responsible for me?"

Ye Youlan wanted to laugh, but she bit her lip and held it back. She had seen scoundrels before, but she had never seen such a scoundrel, a man who asked a woman to be responsible for him.

Ye Youlan whispered, "How many women have you met in Qinlou and Chuguan? Have you been responsible for them?"

When the Seventh Prince heard this, his expression became serious and his smile disappeared. He grabbed Ye Youlan's arm and brought her into his arms. Her warmth and fragrance made his blood boil and his face flush.

Ye Youlan glared at him and signaled him to let go quickly. The prince quickly apologized.

"I didn't mean to do that. I was just a little anxious."

Ye Youlan sat down again and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ears. Her ears were completely red.

"Ye Youlan, listen carefully. I have never touched any woman before. The only person I have ever had physical contact with is you. I have my reasons for hanging around in brothels and other places."

Ye Youlan raised her head, not daring to look into the Seventh Prince's eyes, for fear of being burned by his scorching heat.

Ye Youlan didn't want to talk about this topic. It was still an unknown whether she and the Seventh Prince could be together. Even if they were together, there would be a lot of problems to face.

Ye Youlan paid attention to his left hand and reminded him to apply medicine and bandage it again after returning home.

The Seventh Prince was very direct: "Don't change the subject, do you trust me?"

Ye Youlan's eyes moistened, she felt a little aggrieved and helpless: "If I didn't believe you, would I go to you on a rainy night? I'm just scared."

The prince was very satisfied with her answer.

Seeing that the prince was silent, Ye Youlan could not help but turn to look at him. Seeing that he was staring at her infatuatedly, she pursed her lips and smiled softly, stretching out her palm to cover the prince's face: "Don't look."

After the carriage entered the city, Li Zhi wanted to drive to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Xiaomei suggested going to the money house first.

"The bank is closed at this time."

Xiaomei turned around and said to the inside while holding the silver: "Miss, the bank is closed. Let's go tomorrow."

Twenty meters away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, the carriage stopped. The Seventh Prince watched Ye Youlan reluctantly as she lifted the curtain and got off the carriage. They waited until the master and servant entered the Prime Minister's Mansion before they left.

Li Zhi said as he drove, "Your Majesty, don't you think this Miss Ye is strange?"

The prince was displeased: "What's so strange about that?"

"You've never fished before, so how can she be so sure you can win?"

A smile blossomed on the prince's stern face: "Intuition."

The prince went to the manor today on a whim. He had important matters to deal with, but when he heard that Ye Youlan was also going, he took his men there.

He just wanted to go over and see her, especially on that rainy night, when she suddenly appeared in front of him, he felt that his fate seemed to be changing. He originally had no expectations for her, he just hoped that she would live a happy life.

But that night, she came to him and dragged him into her life. He had a strong feeling that the trajectory of his life was about to change. When he hurt his hand holding the teacup, he sat in Fengwan Pavilion and believed that she would come. Finally, she did come, and at that moment his heart beat particularly hard.

She still looks sunny, lively and lovely, but she is actually very intelligent and graceful.

Today was the fourth time he had met her, but the two of them seemed to have known each other for a long time. There was a tacit understanding that did not require many words, and they understood each other.

Although she said she disliked his frequent visits to prostitutes, she still chose to trust him. He had never fished before, yet she placed her biggest bet on him. She saw through her own little scheme but kept silent.

When Ye Youlan returned home, her family had just finished dinner and were chatting.

Ye Youlan put the silver on the table, gave fifty taels to her sister-in-law so that she could buy some rouge and powder, gave fifty taels to her mother so that she could go out and have tea with the lady, and gave fifty taels to her father and elder brother each so that they would have money to spend when they went out for social events.

The family looked at the pile of silver and asked where it came from.

Regardless of Ye Youlan's answer, Xiaomei vividly explained her thoughts at the time and everyone's opposition. In particular, Li Zong's "Ye Youlan, are you crazy?" was so lifelike that it made everyone laugh.

Mrs. Ye scolded her daughter for being so bold. What if she lost? One hundred taels of silver was enough to cover the expenses of the Prime Minister's Mansion for two months.

Ye Youlan analyzed, "My thinking is very simple. The Seventh Prince has been to the battlefield. Life on the front lines is tough, and sometimes food and fodder can't be delivered in time. So we have to find a way to solve the food problem. Hunting and fishing should be essential skills. Just because everyone hasn't seen the Seventh Prince fishing in the capital doesn't mean he hasn't fished before!"

The Prime Minister looked at his daughter's lively and bright smile, and he felt a little worried. That day, the Seventh Prince had hurriedly stopped him at the palace gate, saving him from disaster. He appreciated the Seventh Prince's kindness, but how could he repay this favor?

He knew that the Seventh Prince liked Youlan, but he didn't want Youlan to marry him. If Li Zong wasn't suitable, then the Seventh Prince was even less suitable.
