After the mind-reading and gossip-eating incident, officials in the imperial city were demoted one a

Chapter 126 One Big Scumbag

Ye Yaoyao never expected that business could be done this way. If this were in the city, she would be arrested and imprisoned.

"This is probably not true."

When Ye Mian took the imperial examination, there was a case of cheating in the court. After that, the examination questions would not be released too early. Sometimes, the emperor would change the examination questions on the spot if he was in a good mood.

If exam questions are to be set, they will be finalized at least two weeks later. Right now, even if there are channels available, it's just speculation about the questions.

"The probability is high; young master, would you like to consider buying a copy?"

The vendor approached Ye Yaoyao with a fawning expression, trying to persuade her.

"No need, I'll send someone over to inquire in a month."

"OK then!"

Ye Yaoyao left the stall.

"This black market really sells everything."

"As long as there is no major unrest, the government will not interfere."

"Hmm! Is there anything you want?" Ye Yaoyao looked at him expectantly.

[Buy a gift for the handsome man.]

Qin Jingyu didn't lack anything, but he still looked around.

An old man was sitting to one side reading a book, followed by a fine horse. Ye Yaoyao followed his gaze.

It was an Akhal-Teke horse, with a tall and upright body, long and strong limbs, firm muscles, and a bright red coat, like a burning flame.

Its head was exquisite and majestic, its eyes were bright and deep, and its tail was long and fluffy, swishing proudly. Ye Yaoyao walked over with great joy.

"Sir, is this the horse you want to sell?"

The old man looked up and saw that the two men were wearing masks. He replied, "Old man, I'm looking for a new owner for it. If the horse likes it, you can take it away."

"Are you giving this away?" Ye Yaoyao was surprised to find people here who didn't want money.

"Yes! Young master, why don't you go near it? If it likes it, it will follow you."

The old man did not put on the reins and spoke in a very kind tone.

Ye Yaoyao pulled Qin Jingyu to the horse and gently stroked its head.

"Horse, would you like to come with us?"

"Neigh!" The horse twitched its nose, then neighed and paced back and forth.

"What do you mean?"

"It is willing to go with you. I found and raised this Akhal-Teke horse. I am too old to follow it anymore. I come here every night because I want to find it a new owner."

Many people have wanted it, but it hasn't given a second thought. Young master, I'm giving it to you; I hope you'll treat it well.

The horse nuzzled against the old man, its eyes filled with tears. The old man's eyes were also full of reluctance, but even more so, a sense of relief.

He patted the horse's head a few times, then picked up the reins and handed them to Ye Yaoyao.

"Don't worry, old man, we will treat it well."

Ye Yaoyao took out a silver note from her bosom and gave it to him.

"No, no need, I just want to find it an owner," the old man declined.

"If you don't accept it, we can't take it with us."

"Well... alright!" The old man said goodbye to the Akhal-Teke horse and left.

"Handsome man, do you like this horse? It's yours." Ye Yaoyao smiled at Qin Jingyu.

"I love it!" I naturally love the gift she gave me.

"I think this horse has some intelligence. What should we name it?"

"You pick one for me."

"This horse is a very bright red, how about we name it Crimson Flame?"

"Okay!" Qin Jingyu nodded, and Lian Jin came over and led him away.

Afterwards, Ye Yaoyao mainly looked for stalls selling medicinal herbs. She walked down the street but did not find the two herbs she wanted. However, she saw some rare and unusual ones and bought them.

"It's getting late, we should go back," Qin Jingyu asked, pulling her hand.

"Okay." Ye Yaoyao nodded, looked at the horse and the medicinal herbs on its back, and thought, "Not bad, this trip wasn't a waste."

"Wait!" Ye Yaoyao suddenly grabbed Qin Jingyu.

"what happened?"

"Guard Lian, you wait here for a moment." Ye Yaoyao pulled Qin Jingyu back.

I stopped next to a medicine stall and listened to the two people talking next door.

[System, check the person who bought the medicinal herbs.]

[Ok, host. 】

“Young master, these medicinal herbs of mine are all of the highest quality; they are excellent for replenishing qi and blood.”

"Wrap all of these up."

"Alright, these herbs are very suitable for women who are weak after childbirth. Are you buying them for your wife, sir?" the vendor asked with a smile.

"Okay! Hurry up and wrap it up." The man's voice sounded somewhat impatient.

"Right away, right away!" The vendor's movements became even more efficient.

After the person carrying the medicine left, Ye Yaoyao started walking back.

[What a scumbag! A complete scumbag!]

"Who is that person?"

"Xu Tianyuan, the second young master of the Ding'an General's Mansion."

Xu Tianyuan was not present at the palace banquet, so Qin Jingyu naturally did not recognize him.

[That scumbag already has a child and was still lying to Sister Mu. Now that I've found out, I'm going to rescue Sister Mu from this misery and make her my second sister-in-law.]

"Hehe..." Ye Yaoyao was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't realize she was laughing out loud.

Qin Jingyu deliberately patted her head lightly and asked her:

"What are you thinking in that little head of yours? Why are you laughing so silly?"

Ye Yaoyao came to her senses and said, "That man was Mu Youxi's fiancé. Those medicines are for replenishing blood and replenishing postpartum deficiency."

It's nothing special, so the fact that he came here to buy it means it's something shady.

"Hmm! Then this marriage is not a good one."

When Ye Yaoyao returned home, Ye Li'an was waiting outside the door. He greeted her as she got off the carriage.

"It's late at night, little sister, you're finally back." Seeing her return, Ye Li'an's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was finally at ease.

"Big brother, wait for me at the door!"

With Ye Lian'an's help, Ye Yaoyao jumped off the carriage.

"Okay! Go and get some rest as soon as you get back."

Qin Jingyu remained in the carriage without exiting, while Ye Li'an bowed towards the carriage.

"Thank you for taking care of my sister tonight, Your Highness."

"You are Welcome."

"Miss Ye, these are your things."

Lian Jin handed over the things Ye Yaoyao had bought, and Ye Li'an took them before the carriage departed.

"Little sister, this trip was still worthwhile."

"Yes! Although we didn't find those two herbs, we gained other things, so the trip wasn't in vain."

Ye Yaoyao took off her bundle and gave the book to Ye Li'an.

"Big brother, look at this."

Ye Li'an took the book, glanced at the title, his lips twitched, and he looked at her with a dark expression.

"Little sister, what are you buying this for?"

"Brother, this was discovered by someone who spent time conducting on-site research, so there must be some useful information inside."

"Big brother, take your time looking at it. If you can't find the problem, then give it to second brother. I'm going back to my room now. Big brother, get some rest! Good night!"

Ye Yaoyao took her bundle and skipped into the house. Ye Li'an watched her back and smiled helplessly before taking his book and entering the mansion as well.

When Ye Yaoyao returned to her room, Tingqin and Fuling immediately came to greet her and helped her wash up.

"Miss, are you tired today?" Fu Ling asked with concern as she combed her hair.

"Not bad! Go find your cousin to come over tomorrow."

"Yes! I've got it."

After washing up, Ye Yaoyao lay down on the bed and fell asleep soon after, but she had another dream.
