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

Chapter 154 Deity, please show your power!

Xu Tianyuan took two steps back. She actually knew all this. He was just momentarily infatuated. How many men could turn a blind eye to the maid's occasional seduction?

Now that Mu Youqi calls him Second Young Master Xu, Xu Tianyuan clutches his aching chest. Is there no going back to the way things were between them?

“Of course, a person who is completely drunk cannot move unless he is not completely drunk,” Ye Yaoyao added.

"Since Young Master Xu has someone in his heart, he should treat her well. We are not suitable for each other, so farewell."

How could Mu Youqi not have complaints? But in an era where men could marry multiple concubines, she dared not dream that her future husband would only have her.

Moreover, how could she not see the guilty conscience in Xu Tianyuan's eyes? Just as Ye Yaoyao said, the world is not very lenient towards women, and it is most important to be good to oneself.

Mu Youxi suddenly had a change of heart, and looked at Xu Tianyuan as if he were a stranger.

“Secluded Abode…”

Mu Youxi turned away from him without saying a word. Xu Tianyuan was being pointed at and whispered about by passersby. After watching Mu Youxi's back, he led his men away.

"Ye Yaoyao, stop right there!" Mu Ningyan shouted.

"doing what?"

[Would Mu Ningyan feel uncomfortable if she didn't make her presence known after meeting me?]

"Ye Yaoyao, I paid for your money last time, and you, you despicable person, actually harmed my mother?"

"Princess Chang Le, don't talk nonsense. How did I harm the Princess?"

"Do you dare say that you weren't involved in the dismissal and exile of the officials under my mother, or in the affairs of Xinyang County?"

Ye Yaoyao smiled at her, "Princess Chang Le, you really think highly of me. The Princess sent someone to kill me, but this little trouble is nothing."

Mu Ningyan scoffed dismissively, "Ha! What arrogance."

"Of course, I have divine help."

Mu Ningyan regarded Ye Yaoyao as a half-charlatan, so Ye Yaoyao simply played along.

"Stop pretending to be a god here. This princess doesn't believe you have any divine help."

"Should I ask the gods to send down a rainstorm right now and soak you to the bone?"

"Ye Yaoyao, go ahead and yell if you dare."

"Ha ha……"

An Ruyi chuckled to herself, which only fueled Mu Ningyan's anger. "You fatso, what are you laughing at!"

An Ruyi quickly stopped smiling. "Can't I even smile? You're so nosy."

Ye Yaoyao rolled her eyes at Mu Ningyan, "Princess Chang Le, I advise you not to cause trouble for others all the time. No one is your real mother and will give in to you."

"Ye Yaoyao, how dare you speak to this princess like that!"

Ye Yaoyao crossed her arms and raised her head, "Isn't what I said the truth? It's not like it's the first time I've said it."

Mu Ningyan stomped her feet in anger and raised her hand to hit her, "You... Ye Yaoyao, I'll beat you to death."

Ye Yaoyao avoided her, looked up at the sky, and muttered something to herself:

"My lord, please show your power and teach this ungrateful princess a lesson."

Mu Ningyan sneered, "Keep pretending!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sky suddenly became overcast, and it looked like it was about to rain.

Mu Ningyan's expression changed instantly. "This, how is this possible?"

Ye Yaoyao smiled smugly: "Princess, do you believe me now?"

The people following Ye Yaoyao were also surprised.

Mu Ningyan was both embarrassed and angry: "Ye Yaoyao, you're ruthless!" After saying that, she hurriedly ran away with her followers, afraid that they would really get wet in the rain.

"Yaoyao, I heard my brother say that you said it would rain in the palace, and then it really rained. Can you really see the gods?" An Ruyi asked excitedly.

"No way! It's just a coincidence."

If what I saw in my dream was real, then it must have been a real encounter with a deity!

Liu Langyue: So my cousin really can see gods!

Ye Yaoyao touched her chin with one hand and looked up at the sky in confusion.

"I still want to go shopping, so I hope it doesn't rain."

Before long, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sky returned to its clear state.

"Little sister Yaoyao, the weather has gotten better again. If there's a drought or flood somewhere in the future, your words will solve the problem, right?" Mu Youxi teased.

"It's just a coincidence." Although Ye Yaoyao said this, she still looked at the sky with doubt.

[System, I haven't actually met a god, have I?!]

[Host, you don't seem to have been dreaming these past two days.]

【Then I'll go find the handsome man and see if I still have those strange dreams.】

Ye Yaoyao was unaware that this scene on the street had been reported to the Emperor by the secret guards.

"Everything you said is true."

"Your Majesty, I dare not deceive you. Princess Chang Le has already run away in fear." The kneeling guard spoke firmly.

"Go down!"

The Emperor narrowed his eyes in deep thought. If Ye Yaoyao was the daughter of the Ye family, she absolutely could not be allowed to live.

He was also afraid that she might really have some divine protection, and now that heaven had once again shown its favor, the emperor felt he was in a difficult situation.

In the bustling market, people came and went, and the noise was incessant. Ye Lian strolled leisurely among them, a book in his hand.

"Make way, make way quickly, the horse is startled."

"Make way, the horse's gone mad."

Two voices rang out simultaneously from both sides, and pedestrians quickly made way.

A sharp cry of a child mingled with the sound of horses' hooves. Ye Lian looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young child standing in the middle of the street.

The candied hawthorn in her hand fell to the ground. She stared in terror at the approaching carriage, not knowing what to do, and stood there crying.

"Whose child is that? Two carriages would trample him to pieces."

Without hesitation, Ye Lian rushed towards the child like an arrow, successfully catching him and protecting him in his arms. However, he had no time to avoid the two carriages already in front of him.

"Oh no!" Upon seeing this, Xin Chuli threw down what she was holding and leaped up to kick one of the horses in the rump.

With a loud bang, the surrounding stalls were destroyed by the carriage, and Ye Lian was also hit hard by the carriage, flying out and crashing heavily to the ground.

The child was well protected by him; his clothes were torn to shreds from being scraped on the ground, and he had abrasions on his face and blood staining his back.

"Brother Ye, how are you?" Xin Chuli ran over and helped him up.

Ye Li'an's back ached, his brows furrowed, and his eyes looked ahead to a corner where a white brocade robe flashed by quickly at the alley entrance.

"Thank goodness! How's the baby?"

"He's fine, but your back is bleeding. I'll take you to the clinic."

Seeing that the child was safe and sound, Ye Li'an managed a weak, relieved smile.

The child forgot to cry and stared blankly at Ye Lian, frightened by the blood on his back.

The horse, kicked by Xin Chuli, stopped its madness, and the surrounding crowd gasped and gathered around.

"Bao'er, Bao'er..."

The child's mother rushed out of the crowd, hugged her child tightly, and burst into tears.

"Young master, thank you for saving Bao'er. Please go to the clinic to get your injuries treated! Bao'er, please thank your big brother for saving you."

"Big brother, thank you!"

"Be careful in the future. It's dangerous in the middle of the road. Try not to stand in the middle of the road."

The child's mother wiped away her tears and held Ye Lian'an's left hand with one hand.

"It's all my fault for not watching him properly, young master. Let me help you to the clinic."
