Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Dong Yuan didn't expect Li Chengge to be such a beast!

At that moment, he hated himself for not following Ye Zhen, and also hated that the thunder did not kill him.

"I asked my second sister to chop off his head!"

After all, Dong Yuan was a girl who was brought up under protection. Whenever she got angry, she would either say "My second sister is the virtuous concubine, or my second brother-in-law is His Majesty". If she had said anything else, Ye Zhen would not have had to suppress her smile uncomfortably.

Dong Yuan's cheeks puffed up, "You can still laugh?"

Ye Zhen held her hand and said, "Of course I'm happy that I have someone as powerful as you to rely on."

Dong Yuan accepted this reason and immediately patted his chest, "If this matter is brought to the attention of Second Sister, it will be bad for your reputation. However, my eldest brother will come back this year to report on his work. I will have him beat that beast so hard that he can't even stand up and avenge you."

Ye Zhen had a smile on her face and felt warm in her heart.

"I will break off the engagement with Li Chengge and make sure they get their comeuppance."

break off an engagement?

It was the first time that Dong Yuan heard a woman say she wanted to break off an engagement. He was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows and eyes full of excitement, "Yes, that's it!"

Then he looked at Ye Zhen excitedly, "Whatever you want to do, I'll help you."

"My eldest brother is the God of War of the Great Zhou, my second sister is the virtuous concubine, and my second brother-in-law is a little old, but he has great power. No one in the entire Great Zhou should dare to say no to him."

Ye Zhen smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I won't try to be stubborn. If there's anything I can't do, I'll definitely ask you to support me."

Dong Yuan put his arm around her neck. He knew that his status was special, so Ye Zhen never let him get involved in anything. "Break off the engagement, and I'll introduce you to a better man. I guarantee you'll like him."

Ye Zhen just thought she was comforting her and agreed with a smile, but she didn't know that Dong Yuan really had a candidate in mind.

On this side, Ye Xue heard what the servants in the yard said, and she was so angry that she smashed two worthless tea cups on the spot.

The debris splashed at Hongluo's feet. She didn't dare to go any closer and advised carefully, "Maybe the guard heard it wrong. After all, that place is remote and the general doesn't allow anyone to get close."

When she mentioned this, it was hard for Ye Xue not to think too much.

It was certain that Li Chengge didn't like Ye Zhen, which meant that Ye Zhen deliberately seduced him! From the beginning of the small banquet, she had acted out of character by first rejecting Li Chengge's initiative to marry her, and then handing over the housekeeper's cards, turning a blind eye to the chaos in the mansion, causing Zheng to turn against her.

Later, she deliberately exposed in front of Li Chengge that Ye Rong wanted to poison her, making Li Chengge feel a little guilty. He could have taken the opportunity to ease the relationship, but she said she wanted to cancel the engagement!

She even used money to force Li Chengge and Zheng to sign an IOU, allowing Lai Pozi and herself to torment each other, and then clean up the mess in front of everyone when something happened. If she were Li Chengge, it would be difficult for her not to notice her.

A good move is to retreat in order to advance.

"I knew she was a tough girl!" Ye Xue gnashed her teeth in hatred. In her previous life, Li Chengge had married so many concubines. No matter how glorious they were at the beginning, they all ended up being defeated by Ye Zhen.

Ye Xue was so angry that her lungs were about to explode. She couldn't beat Ye Zhen, and she didn't have the energy or means to fight her.

Her target from the very beginning was Li Chengge!

"Where is the general? I want to see him."

When Hongluo heard that she was going out, she said anxiously, "Although the thunder just now made a mess, the guests are all in the front yard, and the general has to greet them. You, you'd better not go out."

"Not going out? Am I going to watch Ye Zhen and the general reconcile? I'll become a joke in their eyes."

"I am innocent and have been involved with him, bearing the name of a shameless person, just for this?!"

Ye Xue started to panic the moment she knew that the screen might make Li Chengge a heinous criminal. She knew this man. No matter how affectionate he was in bed, he would not care about the old feelings as long as someone affected his interests.

Let alone asking him to make me his concubine right now, just the matter of the screen is hard to explain.

"Change my clothes."

*

Li Chengge changed his clothes and went to the front yard. Several colleagues had already said goodbye and they all looked as if they wanted to avoid him.

The women in the back hall were even more panicked. Seeing that Ye Zhen was nowhere to be seen, they left without even saying goodbye.

Li Chengge has been praised by everyone since he returned to Beijing. How could he be despised like this?

When he came back and saw the little Taoist boy in front of the coffin, he suddenly thought that since Li Xuan was revered as the national teacher, how could he let the thunderbolt fall on his head?

Thinking about how he had helped Ye Zhen to embarrass himself time and again, he was so angry that his stomach ached.

He looked at the Taoist boy with disdain, "Didn't the Imperial Master tell you to be careful and not get struck by lightning?"

The Taoist boy looked over with clear eyes and replied respectfully, "It's no use being careful. As long as you don't do anything that harms the heavens and the earth, you won't be struck by lightning."

Li Chengge's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

After coming out of the mourning hall, the guard whispered in his ear that Ye Xue wanted to see him.

"Take her back and don't let anyone see her." Li Chengge frowned, looking impatient. "We haven't settled the score with her about the screen yet. You should make her behave herself."

The guard was embarrassed. "The third young lady knew that she had caused trouble for you, so she threatened to commit suicide in the courtyard to make amends. Her maid tried to stop her, but the third young lady had already cut a thin wound on her neck."

"There are still many guests in the mansion. I can't make up my mind, so I have to ask for your advice."

Li Chengge pinched his brows and said, "All you do is cry, make a scene, and then hang yourself all day long."

He couldn't help but think of Ye Zhen again, and became even more upset. He sighed, "I'll go take a look."

The guard immediately led the way.

Ye Xue was just making a scene for Li Chengge to see. The wound on her neck was worse than a cat scratch, but she begged for forgiveness with tears in her eyes. Li Chengge fell for it. Even though he was annoyed in his heart, he didn't say anything harsh on his face.

Seeing him like this, Ye Xue was no longer so nervous.

But when she took the initiative to lean towards him, Li Chengge avoided her without leaving a trace, "Rong'er's funeral is today."

Ye Xue looked aggrieved and snorted in her heart. Why didn't she remember that Ye Rong had not been buried yet when she forced Ye Zhen just now!

"I knew the general hated me. I don't know as much as my second sister. I can't help the general and instead I'm a burden to you. I understand. I get it."

She turned around in despair, her face filled with despair that was worse than death.

Li Chengge was not at ease letting her go, so he reached out and grabbed her into his arms, and kissed Ye Xue's forehead perfunctorily, "Okay, I don't blame you, just go back and wait obediently."

Ye Xue wrapped her arms around his waist and tiptoed to kiss his lips.

Before their lips touched, they heard something fall to the ground in the corridor with an unusually crisp sound.

Ye Xue's eyes trembled, and she hurriedly shrank her shoulders and hid in Li Chengge's arms, hugging his waist tightly, making it look like Li Chengge was hugging her very tightly.

Li Chengge looked over and his expression froze. It was Mrs. Chen.

Ye Zhen helped her in through the crescent-shaped door. There was no expression on her face. Instead, Madam Chen and the maid behind her looked surprised, and Madam Chen even looked disgusted as if her eyes were dirty.

During the stalemate, Ye Xuexian spoke tremblingly, "Have I caused trouble for the general again?"

The strong smell of green tea immediately angered Mrs. Chen. She turned around and saw Ye Zhen with a calm face. She immediately understood, "I know why the general was able to let that screen into the mansion."
