Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

In his previous life, Ye Zhen stayed by Ye Rong's bedside without taking off his clothes. Before she closed her eyes, he swore for his brother's safety that even if he died, he would ensure the prosperity of the Ye and Li families, and he would do his best to take care of Li Chengge.

Ye Rong finally died with tears in her eyes.

In this life, Ye Rong is still holding on to her last breath to see Ye Zhen.

There were slaves kneeling on the ground in Cheng'en Temple, and the wailing sounds were endless.

Zhou Ma had not recovered from the beating yet, and was dragged here by two maids, crawling on the steps sobbing. She saw that Ye Zhen had a calm face, without any signs of crying. Thinking that she had not visited the eldest lady once in the past few days, she said angrily, "The eldest lady loves you in vain."

Wang Ma came out of the room and glared at Zhou Ma. She wiped her tears and said to Ye Zhen respectfully, "Please let the second young lady and this servant come in."

Ye Zhen entered the house, while Aunt Wang took the maid and went out.

The light was blocked, making the room full of bitter medicine even more lifeless. She stood in front of the screen, lifted her skirt and knelt.

Ye Rong heard the noise and spoke hoarsely, "Second sister, what is this..."

Ye Zhen said firmly, "I can't do what you want me to do."

"My elder sister failed to convince the general to agree, and Ye Zhen is even less capable of standing on equal terms with the general."

There was silence for a long time. Ye Rong's breathing was very rapid and it was uncomfortable to listen to.

She clutched the mattress tightly, straightened her neck and threatened, "I can assure you that Ye Xue will not live longer than me."

"Originally, for the sake of the Ye family, my mother and I planned to let her marry the Second Master and live a stable life, but she sought her own death."

Ye Zhen had a blank expression on her face. "Eldest sister, are you sure you are helping me? But I guess the general will think that I saw that my eldest sister passed away, so I killed Ye Xue out of desperation."

"Eldest sister was obviously mad at them, but in the end she insisted on standing by my side, and in the end I was the one who pissed you off to death. In the general's mind, I became a ruthless and unscrupulous woman."

"Then I remembered my elder sister's kindness and worked diligently for the foundation of the Marquisate, but I didn't know how I would be humiliated by the general."

"Life like this..." She paused, a chill in her eyes, "It's better to be in a nunnery."

Ye Rong's pupils constricted, and her nails even scratched the silk threads on the brocade quilt. Her selfishness and schemes were exposed, and her chest heaved, and her pale face turned red as blood.

She was well-known for her virtue and kindness, and was also the most respected young mistress in the capital. No one dared to say a disrespectful word to her.

But in the end, first she had her relationship with her husband ruined by a lowly maid, and then she was betrayed by her own sister whom she had raised so carefully!

What went wrong!

"You..." She wanted to say something else, but she could only stare with her eyes wide open and breathe heavily.

Ye Zhen had already stood up and said goodbye, "I won't disturb you from resting."

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she heard the sound of things being smashed inside. After seven years of humiliation in her previous life, Ye Rong got it back once before she died. It was really a good thing for her.

Ye Zhen walked out of the yard and hurriedly grabbed Liu Xia's hand, "Go to Ye Xue quickly, it will be too late if you are late."

Liuxia didn't understand what was going on, so Ye Zhen pulled her to the back.

"Second Miss, you've turned pale. You can't run away anymore." It was the first time that Liuxia saw her look so serious. Even when she came back from the Xiaoyan that night, she wasn't as anxious as she is now.

Ye Zhen's eyes were deep. "When I entered the room, Aunt Wang had already gone out. It's been at least two cups of tea now. I hope we can still make it in time."

It’s no pity that Ye Xue died, but she can’t be made to take the blame.

Li Chengge's study.

He had just returned from court and was about to go to Cheng'en Courtyard when Aunt Wang came over with medicine.

"Madam, when she learned that the third young lady had sprained her ankle, I prepared some medicine to relieve the pain and dissolve blood stasis early in the morning."

Li Chengge thought of Ye Rong's affectionate look yesterday and knew that she had figured it out. This was to give him face by allowing Ye Xue to exist.

Or maybe she wanted to make herself feel better before leaving.

Li Chengge was moved, "There are people inside."

Aunt Wang entered the inner room and bowed to Ye Xue. "This old servant will serve the Third Miss with medicine."

Ye Xue's right eyelid twitched twice. She was a little worried about Ye Rong's sudden kindness, but because Li Chengge was still outside, she could only pretend to be grateful, "Thank you for your mercy, elder sister. If you can forgive me, Ye Xue will die without regrets."

Anyway, Ye Rong just wants to stay in Li Chengge's good heart. No matter how good she is, she is still a dead end!

Who can't act?

"It's all my fault." She said and wiped away her tears.

When Aunt Wang saw that she was only wearing a light gauze, with her snow-white skin and red dress faintly visible, she looked like a pure and charming woman who could seduce men. No wonder the general would not let go no matter how the eldest lady tried to persuade him.

Damn it.

"After you drink this medicine, Madam will be relieved."

Ye Xue closed her eyes because of the strange sour taste in the medicine, and then she heard Aunt Wang say, "These are all valuable medicinal herbs, Miss Third, you must drink them all."

These words sounded more like a mockery of her for never having seen anything valuable, which made Ye Xue feel uncomfortable.

Ye Xue took the medicine bowl and took a deep breath...

At this moment, Ye Zhen pushed aside the guards who were blocking her and rushed in angrily, "Wait!"

When Li Chengge saw her, his temples throbbed, "You? Who allowed you to break in?"

Ye Zhen glanced at him and walked into the inner room. This was not only rude, but also showed that she didn't take him seriously!

Li Chengge was so furious that he didn't even call the guards to deal with it. Instead, he kicked over the table and chased in like a wild beast.

Ye Zhen snatched the medicine bowl from Ye Xue's hand and smashed it to pieces.

Ye Xue was the first to react. Her eyes fell on Li Chengge who followed in. Her eyes were red. “No matter how much Second Sister hates me, she shouldn’t be so rude in front of the general.”

"This is a token of my eldest sister's love. She doesn't have many days left. How can my second sister bear this?"

"My elder sister loves you so much."

It seemed that Ye Xue was not crying for the bowl of medicine, but for the love of Ye Rong as the eldest sister and the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion.

Ye Zhen's whole body was tense, staring straight at the medicine liquid under his feet, ignoring Ye Xue at all.

Li Chengge is full of murderous aura, and no one dares to be so presumptuous in front of him!

No matter what grievances Ye Zhen has, she shouldn't affect Ye Rong's feelings!

"Bitch!" He yelled angrily and kicked Ye Zhen in the ribs.

Ye Zhen had her back to him, all her thoughts on the medicine. She felt a chill rustling against her hair, but it was too late to hide.

"Second miss!"

Liuxia was almost scared to death, but that was her second daughter! She didn't know where she got the courage from, but she rushed over and knocked Ye Zhen away. Li Chengge's foot brushed Liuxia's lower back and kicked into nothing.

Ye Zhen hugged Liu Xia almost immediately, and the two of them bumped into the clothes rack next to them. Ye Zhen felt a dull pain in the back of his shoulder.

Li Chengge's eyes were red with anger, and he was about to pull out the dagger from his boots. If he didn't kill someone today, he would not be able to get rid of the hatred in his heart.

Ye Zhen saw his movements from the corner of her eye, her brows furrowed, and she hurriedly protected Liuxia behind her.

Fortunately, the venom in the medicine had already reacted by then, and white foam was sizzling on the ground.

She pointed at the ground under Li Chengge's feet and said, "The medicine is poisonous."

Li Chengge's anger almost burned out his rationality, but fortunately it was just a shortcoming. He froze the action of pulling out the dagger, lowered his head in the direction of Ye Zhen's finger, and then clenched his back teeth.

Ye Xue had been frightened since he started to take action. When she saw that the medicine that had just been brought to her mouth was poisonous, her breathing became tight and her eyes even went dark.

But she had died once after all, so she grasped the most important point in the blink of an eye and said in an unbelievable and frightened tone, "Eldest sister is going to poison me!"

Then she shook her head again, "No. My eldest sister wouldn't do that. Who wants to harm me?"

She was at a loss of what to do. She got off the bed barefoot and threw herself into Li Chengge's arms, shaking like a sieve. "General!"

Li Chengge hugged her, and his sharp eyes immediately fell on Wang Ma.

Wang Ma didn't expect Ye Zhen to come, but now that things have come to this, she made up her mind and pointed at Ye Zhen and said, "Second Miss, if it weren't for you who asked me to get rid of Third Miss to relieve Madam's hatred, if I had known that you wanted to put the blame on Madam, I would never agree even if I died!"

She fell to her knees, her face determined to die, "General! The Second Miss is jealous of the Third Miss for snatching her good fortune from you, and seeing that Madam is powerless to change the situation, she knows that it will be even more difficult for her to please you after Madam is gone, so she decided to do something drastic and persuaded this old slave to poison the Third Miss to death!"

Wang Ma is worthy of being brought up by Cui. She bit back at the critical moment and her words were well-reasoned.
