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

Chapter 182 Street Fight, Father and Daughter Reunite

Everyone crowded forward to take a look, occasionally letting out exclamations of amazement.

"This painting of Miss Ye is so exquisite!"

"It's obvious that a lot of thought and effort were put into it."

"Truly a talented woman."

"Mu Ningyan, we've shown our pictures to everyone, do you dare show them to anyone else?"

Why should I show my paintings to others?

"You can deny it all you want, I'll just go in, take everything out, and burn it."

"Ye Yaoyao, how dare you!"

"If you dare to steal from us, what wouldn't I dare to do?"

Mu Ningyan pointed at Ye Yaoyao and cursed:

"You dare accuse me of being a thief without any proof? Why is it that only you are allowed to sell this?"

"That's right, you can't sell it without my permission."

Ye Yaoyao was smug. Luckily, she had applied for a patent when she opened her business. Anyone who sold her products without her permission would have to close down.

"There are so many shops in the world that sell the same things, but none of them are like you. Listen to this, isn't Ye Yaoyao a robber?"

“This time, Princess Chang Le is right.”

"Miss Ye, even though you're the first one to open this place, that's being too domineering."

"Ye Yaoyao, did you hear that? It's not like you're the only one who can sell it." Mu Ningyan said smugly.

“What do you know? I have applied for a patent, which is protected by law. Selling it without my permission is illegal.”

The group looked at each other, clearly unfamiliar with the term "patent".

"Our dynasty has never had the concept of 'patent,' and I, the princess, have never heard of it. You are lying."

"This patent is an exclusive right recognized by the government. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask."

"That's impossible. If it were true, why would only you know about it?"

Mu Ningyan was absolutely certain that the Emperor would not allow Ye Yaoyao to become too powerful.

"I can't help it if you don't believe me, but I'm going to burn all those stolen dolls of yours."

Ye Yaoyao took two steps forward, but Mu Ningyan blocked her way.

"Ye Yaoyao, do you even respect the law?"

"I already told you, my figurines are protected by law. If you can't produce the design drawings, you're a thief. Get out of the way!"

Ye Yaoyao pushed Mu Ningyan aside and was about to barge in.

"This is outrageous! You stop right there! You can only get in by beating me!" Mu Ningyan had wanted to beat Ye Yaoyao up for a long time.

"Perfect timing, I've been wanting to teach you a lesson for a while now."

Ye Yaoyao stopped and looked around for a weapon. Mu Ningyan had a whip at her waist, and she would be at a disadvantage if she was unarmed.

"Little sister, no!"

"Little sister, I'll fight her," Ye Xiyao said.

"Second brother, sister, don't worry, I'll be careful."

[Host, she has a whip. Quickly find a weapon.]

"Listen to me, everyone, no one is allowed to make a move." Mu Ningyan untied the whip from her waist.

Ye Yaoyao saw a rolling pin on a nearby stall and picked it up.

"Can I borrow it?"

Ye Yaoyao swung it around; it felt alright.

Although it's short, it's better than nothing.

Mu Ningyan was secretly pleased, thinking, "Ye Yaoyao, you're doomed!" Then she lashed out with her whip.

"Little sister, watch out!"

Ye Yaoyao quickly dodged.

“Master, Miss Ye is being taken advantage of. Should we help her secretly?” Lian Jin asked worriedly.

"Let's see how well she's practiced her skills."

The whip is suitable for long-range attacks, and it was difficult for Ye Yaoyao to get close to Mu Ningyan. She narrowly dodged the whip.

"My stall!" the vendor shouted as his wares were damaged by the whip.

Mu Ningyan was skilled with a whip, but since she had no martial arts skills, Ye Yaoyao moved around nimbly, and Mu Ningyan couldn't hit her.

Ye Xiyao and Ye Jingyang were still worried that she would get hit.

Ah! Flour!

Ye Yaoyao picked up the flour and quickly splashed it at Mu Ningyan, hitting her own arm in the process.

"Ye Yaoyao, you bitch."

Mu Ningyan's face was covered in flour. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ye Yaoyao approached her and swung a rolling pin at her lower back.

"Ah!" Mu Ningyan closed her eyes, only able to take the beating.

"Mu Ningyan, you thief, I'll teach you a lesson!"

"Ah... Ye Yaoyao, stop right now."

Mu Ningyan was beaten so badly that she couldn't fight back, but Ye Yaoyao didn't care and kept attacking.

"I, this princess, have been beaten so badly, are you all dead, you dog servants?"

"Protect the princess and capture Ye Yaoyao!" The people Mu Ningyan brought swarmed forward.

"Trying to bully a little sister? Do you think I'm dead?" Ye Jingyang leaped and kicked away anyone who approached Ye Yaoyao.

"Mu Ningyan, you are shameless. You were the one who said that if you couldn't win a one-on-one fight, you should find someone else."

Ye Yaoyao knocked Mu Ningyan down, threw away the rolling pin, sat on her, and punched her with her fists.

"Master, Miss Ye is so amazing." Lian Jin looked at Ye Yaoyao with admiration.

"Mu Ningyan is skilled with the whip and has no martial arts skills, so it's only a matter of time before she wins."

Qin Jingyu laughed. Ye Yaoyao had been hit when the flour was thrown, but seeing how energetic she was, she seemed to be alright.

Suddenly, a man in black appeared from the shadows, flew towards Ye Yaoyao, picked her up, and threw her away.

"Little sister!" Ye Xiyao ran towards Ye Yaoyao.

"Miss, be careful." Fu Ya shielded Ye Xiyao behind her.

"Master, hurry and be a hero to save the damsel in distress!"

Let him have this opportunity!

"Who is it?" The next moment, Lian Jin saw a man wearing a half-mask catch Ye Yaoyao.

Seeing that someone had caught Ye Yaoyao, Ye Jingyang attacked the guard.

"You dare throw my little sister away? You're asking for it!"

Wow! My own dad caught me!

Ye Xiumu's gaze never left Ye Yaoyao, and his eyes flashed when he heard her voice.

He had imagined many scenarios for recognizing his daughter, but he never expected that she already knew, and that he could even hear her inner thoughts. It was truly...amazing.

"Mysterious Uncle, I missed you so much." Ye Yaoyao hugged him and rubbed against his clothes affectionately.

"It's been so long, you've even gotten into a fight now." Ye Xiumu affectionately pinched her cheek.

"That Mu Ningyan is infuriating. She stole my sister's work and sold it."

"Little sister, are you alright?" Ye Jingyang chased after the people and came over to ask.

Ye Yaoyao jumped down from Ye Xiumu's arms and said with a grin, "Second Brother, I'm fine. Mysterious Uncle is here."

Where is my real dad?!

Ye Jingyang recognized him and was shocked. His master was actually his little sister's biological father!

A teacher for a day is a father for life, so the little sister's biological father is also his father.

Ye Xiyao looked at Ye Xiumu, and for some reason felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

My younger sister's biological father looks a hundred or a thousand times better than Ye Mian. I'm so envious!

"Thank you so much, hero, for saving my sister."

Mu Ningyan was helped up, her whole body aching, and she glared angrily at Ye Yaoyao.

"I am a princess, and you have beaten me so badly. Ye Yaoyao, I am going to report you to my uncle, the emperor."

Ye Xiyao stepped forward and accused:

“Princess Chang Le, it was you who proposed to fight with my younger sister. You had a whip, and my younger sister had a rolling pin. You were simply outmatched.”

"Ye Xiyao, shut up!"

Ye Xiumu looked at Mu Ningyan with icy eyes: "Princess Chang Le, it's best to follow some rules when doing things."
