Su Yunmo was unaware of Hua Yi's intentions. Had she known, she would have thrown him out immediately.
The medical hall eventually opened, with Hua Yi invited to be the visible proprietor.
Su Yunmo had no intention of telling Zhou Wanyou that she had won the medical hall, fearing she would frighten her.
For the next two days, Su Yunmo stayed with Zhou Wanyou in the manor until her illness was completely cured.
Zhou Wanyou never knew she had been poisoned.
After her health fully recovered, an imperial decree suddenly arrived from the palace, inviting the general's wife for a chat.
When the verbal message reached the general's manor, Su Yunmo was at Prince Yu's manor.
"Why is it that just because you say no, it's no?" Su Yunmo stood in the man's study, hands on her hips, huffing. "This is my own business, isn't it?"
Ye Jingyu looked at her coldly, his hand gripping the teacup so tightly it was almost cracking. "If you intend for this king to lock you up in a cage, then by all means, do as you please."
This girl's audacity was too much; she would dare to do anything to extract intelligence!
Su Yunmo's lips twitched. The image of herself being locked in a cage was simply unimaginable. "You're too domineering!"
She had merely said that she couldn't find Luo Yin Feng's weakness for the moment and wanted to infiltrate the enemy camp. Was he really that agitated?
She wasn't going to the Luo family; she just wanted to visit Prince Kun's manor occasionally.
While Ye Jingkun indeed harbored ill intentions, he wouldn't go as far as to kill her.
In comparison, this was the best way to gather intelligence on the enemy.
Ye Jingyu's teacup finally shattered with a 'crack'.
He gritted his teeth. "This king forbids it!"
Was Ye Jingkun someone easy to deal with? Even if her life wasn't in danger, she might still be taken advantage of.
Just like last time, she was knocked unconscious and almost imprisoned before she even entered the manor. Not to mention she was now planning to go to his manor.
Su Yunmo gritted her teeth. "Hey, I'm not discussing this with you!"
She had only intended to inform him, and then, if he needed any help, she could gather more information for him.
Yet, not only did this man not praise her, but he also had such an attitude. It was too much!
Ye Jingyu took a deep breath, knowing her temperament. It was impossible to reason with this girl if things continued like this.
The man threw the pieces of the teacup in his hand and stood up, striding over.
Although the man was only eleven years old, he was already very tall.
Su Yunmo was only at the level of his chest.
As he walked towards her, filled with anger.
Su Yunmo instinctively flinched. In fact, if it were when they first met, Su Yunmo wouldn't have been afraid of him.
But it was different now. Her abilities were useless against this scoundrel, and she couldn't beat him with just her fists.
"What are you doing? I'm telling you, a gentleman uses his words, not his fists!" The little dumpling instinctively took a step back.
It wasn't cowardice, merely prudence.
Ye Jingyu walked forward, picked her up in one swift motion, slung her over his shoulder, and strode out.
The little dumpling flailed her short arms and legs. "Scoundrel Ye Jingyu, put me down! What are you doing!"
"I'm telling you, I'm going to get angry, I'm really going to get angry! You're being unreasonable!"
"With you, this king doesn't need to be reasonable. You won't listen anyway!" Ye Jingyu raised his hand and spanked her bottom heavily.
Su Yunmo's face instantly turned crimson.
In both her lives combined, she was much older than this scoundrel, yet he dared to hit her?
It was an insult, a monumental insult!
"Scoundrel Ye Jingyu, I'm not done with you!!!" The little dumpling struggled, trying to hit his back with her small hands.
But her strength, in Ye Jingyu's eyes, was like an ant trying to shake a tree – completely insignificant and painless.
However, the little dumpling's resistant attitude clearly angered the man.
He raised his hand and spanked her bottom again, a loud 'smack' this time with added force.
"Mmph!" Su Yunmo whimpered in pain, feeling wronged and on the verge of tears.
Qian Xue came from outside and, seeing Ye Jingyu carrying Su Yunmo towards the inner chambers, paused. "Master? What's wrong?"
What was going on with these two little ancestors now?
"Qian Xue, save me! Your master has gone mad, I want to go home!" Su Yunmo wailed aggrievedly.
Qian Xue was confused but instinctively took two steps forward, intending to speak.
Ye Jingyu shot her a cold, sharp glance.
Qian Xue was startled and dared not make a sound.
Taking advantage of this moment.
Ye Jingyu carried Su Yunmo into the inner chambers.
Su Yunmo was thrown onto the bed, her back hitting the bedding. She cried out in pain, jumped up from the bed, but was quickly pushed back down by Ye Jingyu.
Ye Jingyu pinned her to the bed, grabbed her wrists with one hand, and looked at her with a cold, stern gaze. "Do you think you're very capable?"
Su Yunmo glared at him.
Ye Jingyu raised his hand and spanked her bottom again. "This king is asking you a question, answer this king!"
Su Yunmo didn't want to acknowledge him, but she also didn't want to be spanked again. With teary eyes, she bared her teeth at him. "So what if I am? Ye Jingkun couldn't hold me, that's a fact!"
Not everyone was protected by the Glazed Lock like him, unaffected by abilities.
Ye Jingyu sneered. "Do you think you can deal with everyone alone relying on your abilities? Then let me ask you, if the King of Southern Xinjiang were to cooperate with Ye Jingkun now, what would you do?"
Su Yunmo's heart skipped a beat, and she looked at him with surprise.
Did this person also know about the King of Southern Xinjiang's arrival in the capital? When did he find out?
Ye Jingyu frowned displeasedly, raising his hand. "When this king is asking questions, you'd best not get distracted."
Su Yunmo's heart trembled under his threatening gaze. She bit her lip and retorted stubbornly, "Cooperate then, I'm not afraid of her!"
Although the King of Southern Xinjiang could suppress her abilities, she still had medicinal powder, which could save her life in a critical moment.
In terms of martial arts, she of course couldn't defeat them, given her physical limitations.
But in terms of intellect, she was not inferior.
Ye Jingyu saw through her thoughts and let out a cold hmph. "Fine, since you're so eager to show off, try it now. See if you can escape from this king."
As he spoke, he reached into Su Yunmo's clothes.
This sudden movement made Su Yunmo freeze completely, her eyes widening in disbelief. "What are you... doing?"
Ye Jingyu continued his actions, tearing open her outer garment. "To be precise, the legitimate daughter of the Marquis's manor is already sixteen years old this year. How could you not know what this king is doing?"
Su Yunmo's face instantly turned pale.
In truth, she wasn't entirely unaware, but she hadn't expected Ye Jingyu to make such a move towards her.
After all... after all...
"Because you think this king is young and doesn't understand matters between men and women, right?" Ye Jingyu suddenly spoke, his words making Su Yunmo stiffen all over.
He let out a cold scoff, his eyes filled with mockery. "As this king suspected!"
