The Mute Wife Who Brings Prosperity-Chapter 530 - 497: Would It Kill Me to Marry Her? (Third Update)
This shout was so high-profile and abrupt that it made all the young lads turn their heads.
Song Yuanbao had just settled in his seat when he heard Ye Rong’s roar. He turned his head slowly and asked, "Where were you looking to know it’s a male and a female?"
The lads burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, Brother Ye, what are you thinking about in broad daylight?"
"Brother Ye, you’ve got some sharp eyes to see the gender of such small rabbits."
"Brother Ye, we still have a few at home, and I still can’t tell which is male or female. Maybe you could spare some time to take a look?"
Ye Rong was so choked up that his face turned red, and he shouted angrily, "Get lost and stay aside!"
The crowd fell silent but couldn’t hold back their laughter.
Ye Rong was almost bursting with anger, glaring at Song Yuanbao, "You little brat, you stop right there!"
Song Yuanbao waved the whip in his hand, "Stop so you can stab me again? Am I crazy?"
As he finished speaking, the horse’s hooves flew up in a cloud of dust, rushing to the front, causing another uproar among the lads.
Ye Rong really wanted to strangle those two little beasts in the cage. Considering that they belonged to his sister, he barely held back, carrying the rabbit cage in one hand and clutching the reins with the other, seemingly about to chase after Song Yuanbao.
Song Yuanbao wasn’t good at archery, but he’d been practicing horsemanship for two years, and learning from the Eldest Prince meant it wasn’t weak. Soon, he left the lads far behind.
Ye Rong didn’t expect Song Yuanbao to be so good at riding. He chased for a long time but was still a distance behind. Immediately annoyed, he shouted at the other’s back, "Song Yuanbao, you stop, or I’ll drop these two little beasts to their death."
Song Yuanbao didn’t even look back, shouting back, "Go ahead, drop them. It won’t be my sister who ends up heartbroken."
Ye Rong gritted his teeth, "Song Yuanbao, you shameless bastard!"
"You’re too kind, compared to you, I’m far off."
Ye Rong shouted, "How could Ah Yao fancy someone as shameless and despicable as you? Stop daydreaming!"
Song Yuanbao continued to ride as he replied, "Whether she fancies me or not, it’s not up to you."
"Bullshit!" Ye Rong spat, "I disagree with this marriage!"
Song Yuanbao raised an eyebrow, "Who said I want to marry her?"
Ye Rong pushed forward, and the whip mercilessly lashed towards Song Yuanbao, "Bastard, dare to give her a male and female rabbit if you don’t intend to marry her?"
Song Yuanbao leaned back, dodging Ye Rong’s attack, frowning, "Can we not resort to violence at every disagreement? Fine, I’ll marry, I’ll marry, is that not good enough?"
Ye Rong: "...!!!"
After a while, he was furious, bursting into curses, "Song Yuanbao, you..."
"Hmm?" Song Yuanbao looked at him with keen interest, seemingly curious about his next words.
"Shameless little bastard!" Ye Rong finished.
Song Yuanbao wasn’t angry, and said to him, "If my father knew you called me such names, he’d surely reward you handsomely."
"Ha, you still dare to snitch?"
Song Yuanbao said seriously, "What kind of relationship do we have, why wouldn’t I report you?"
Having been "tricked into marriage" earlier, Ye Rong had been fooled once already, knowing this kid was very treacherous with words, easily setting traps.
This time Ye Rong wised up, ignoring his question, strictly warning, "Stay away from my sister, or I’ll beat you every time I see you until you’re beaten to death!"
Song Yuanbao’s eyes fell on his hand, "You’re holding my rabbits and still talking about beating me, is this how you act? Give me back the rabbits."
"No." Ye Rong switched the cage to his other hand, keeping it out of Song Yuanbao’s reach.
"The things of an outsider, is it something your sister can casually receive? Give it here!"
"I refuse to give it to her, I’ll keep it myself, what can you do about it? Catching rabbits in the rain while idle, idle is as idle does."
"Hope you choke on it, you’re so idle."
"I enjoy it, what can you do about it?"
Song Yuanbao spread his hands, "Nothing, really. After all, I wanted the rabbits, you wouldn’t give them to her, so you had to snatch them from me to gift to your sister, what can I do?"
Ye Rong: "Get lost, get lost, get lost!"
Song Yuanbao: "Third Young Master Ye, your swearing is quite uninspired, it’s just the same few words over and over, can’t you be a bit more creative?"
Ye Rong: "I spit on you!"

The two bickered all the way to the city gate, where Yun Huai and Zhao Xi had been waiting for a while.
Song Yuanbao, seeing the two of them, hurriedly went up to ask who had won.
Yun Huai raised his eyebrows, "Is it so important who won or lost?"
"Of course it is." Song Yuanbao said earnestly, "If Yun Liulang beat the Eldest Prince, it would break his undefeated myth and vent my anger, then I must treat you to a drink."
Yun Huai chuckled, "So if I lose, not only do I miss out on Young Master Song’s treat, but you hold a grudge against me?"
"Not really a grudge, more of a resentment."
Zhao Xi scoffed lightly, "Such impudence and slick talk."
Song Yuanbao immediately cast an aggrieved look at Yun Huai, "Look, look, he’s scolding me again. Even clay figurines have some temper, I have a temper too, if pushed, I’ll..."
"What will you do? Jump over the wall?" Zhao Xi’s gaze, as always, was cold and indifferent, without the slightest warmth, his brow slightly furrowed.
"I won’t jump, I’ll go over the wall!" He turned to Yun Huai, "Uncle, is your family martial arts hall still accepting disciples?"
Yun Huai nodded and said they were, "But, you’re already spoken for. If you jump to the Yun Family, it would surely bring disaster upon us, I dare not take you in."
Song Yuanbao was displeased, "You are a famous man of the Heroic Gate, afraid of him?"
Yun Huai said, "And you, at fourteen, are a prodigy who topped the imperial exams, but aren’t you pretty afraid of him too?"
Song Yuanbao: "..."
I’ve never seen such a way of chatting.
Ye Rong listened and immediately clapped his hands in laughter, "Well said, this little brat needs a good beating, I’ve long found him unpleasant."
Song Yuanbao threw a big white eye back at him, "Don’t act like you’ve seen me before, we just met for the first time today, we don’t know each other well."
Ye Rong had already forgotten that he was holding a rabbit cage, just finding it handy, lifted his wrist intending to throw it over.
"Brother!"
A shout of surprise from Ye Ling came from not far away.
Ye Rong’s whole motion froze.
"What are you doing?" Ye Ling was already jogging over, standing on tiptoe to reach for the cage in his hand, "Don’t scare my rabbits."
Ye Rong glanced at Song Yuanbao, chuckling twice, but the words were for Ye Ling, "Just kidding, see, the rabbits are fine, aren’t they?"
Ye Ling took over, carefully checking them before confirming they were indeed fine, then looking over at Zhao Xi and Yun Huai, curiously asking, "Who won the match between Your Highness and Yun Liulang?"
Zhao Xi said frankly, "Yun Liulang."
Ye Ling: "Wow!"
Song Yuanbao: "Wow wow!"
Ye Rong: "Wow wow wow!"
Yun Huai: "..."
Zhao Xi: "..."
Song Yuanbao looked at Ye Rong like he was an idiot, "What are you doing?"
Ye Rong: "None of your damn business!"
