Chapter 53: A Rumor that Went Wild (3)

The instant that Ye Li got down from the second floor, the whole first floor went silent at once. After Ye Li walked out of the teahouse with a mild smile, people were about to gossip. At that exact moment they saw Mo Jing Li come downstairs in a dark mood and the teahouse went quiet again. However, after seeing how they behaved, at least those who were at the teahouse had a tendency to show sympathy for Ye Li.

When Ye Li walked out of the teahouse, the carriage of Prince Ding's Manor just stopped. Ah Jin was about to draw the curtain and invite Mo Xiu Yao out.

"Xiu Yao," Ye Li called softly.

Seeing Ye Li, Ah Jin stepped aside with respect. Stepping on the low stool, Ye Li got into the carriage quickly. Mo Xiu Yao looked at her and raised his eyebrows: "Why do you get downstairs?"

Ye Li sat on his opposite and smiled: "Tian Xiang said there's no room for another person and asked me to come downstairs. They are just messing with me. I was going to visit your Manor tomorrow."

A smile appeared on Mo Xiu Yao's face: "They are doing it at the right time."

"Why's that?" Confused, Ye Li asked. Outside the carriage, Ah Jin already started to drive the carriage forward. Thinking for a moment, Ye Li poked her head out of the carriage window and gave Ah Jin an address when she saw Mo Jing Li standing at the entrance to the teahouse house and looking at the carriage with a gloomy face.

Mo Xiu Yao said: "Since this morning, the whole capital is talking about how Jing Li made up and spread yesterday's gossip just to embarrass you."

Ye Li was stunned and she started to realize why Mo Jing Li looked so sullen. A person like Mo Jing Li didn't just suck up the wrong accusations about him. Murong Ting's firm guess occurred to her once again. Only then did Ye Li realize that Murong Ting's guess wasn't out of nowhere.

"Do you have anything to discuss with me since you want to see me, Ah Li?" Mo Xiu Yao looked at Ah Li, whose mind had obviously gone to somewhere else.

Ye Li collected her thoughts and nodded: "This morning, Han Ming Yue gave me two gold notes which value 200,000 Liang, silver notes which are worth over 10,000 Liang, as well as a pair of jade pendants. I am going to take them with me when I visit your Manor tomorrow. It's inconvenient to bring them with me going out with Tian Xiang and the other girls."

Mo Xiu Yao shook his head and seemed to not care about that: "He gave that to you and you should just keep them."

Ye Li didn't know what to say. Giving out hundreds of thousands Liang of sliver, Han Ming Yue was too generous with the money for her to take. "I will send them to your Manor. You can figure it out for me. I have enough money already."

Mo Xiu Yao had no choice and sighed: "Ah Li... What Han Ming Yue sent you is yours now. Just do whatever you want with it. You don't have to feel that you owe him anything. A person like Han Ming Yue wouldn't in a million years spend one unnecessary Liang. He would send the money to make amends because he thinks it's worth it. You don't have to promise him anything."

Ye Li smiled: "I didn't intend to make him any promise either." Ye Li had speculated that Han Ming Yue had probably done something that let Mo Xiu Yao down and this time he did it again. It never occurred to Han Ming Yue that Mo Xiu Yao would let him off so easily, which he did. Han Ming Yue, out of his guilty conscience, couldn't find any way to make up for Mo Xiu Yao, and thus decided to win her favor, not considering the cost. Unfortunately, Ye Li wasn't going to interfere by helping the two who used to be friends getting their friendship back once again. So Han Ming probably spent this large fortune on a bad investment.
