Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Li Chengge is really having a headache this time.

But he forgot to explain when he saw Ye Zhen, especially since there was not a trace of care on her calm face.

That night at the Xiaoyan banquet, she at least cursed the man for being unclean. At that time, he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but now he didn't even say that.

This scene also hurt Mrs. Chen. Two years ago, she was plotted against by the concubines in the mansion and was trapped outside the city during a heavy rain and suffered a miscarriage. It was Ye Zhen who delivered medicine in the rain to save her life.

Even though she knew that Ye Zhen's kindness was to pave the way for Li Chengge's future, it did not affect Mrs. Chen's gratitude towards her.

She had noticed the change in Ye Zhen when the screen incident happened just now. She was looking for an opportunity to ask her about it in detail, but she happened to run into this kind of thing. What else could she ask!

Madam Chen pulled Ye Zhen aside and said, "The only mistake your elder sister made in her life was probably letting a wolf into the house."

"The general's wife's body is still warm, and he is being intimate with another woman here. I really can't stand it at all."

When Mrs. Chen thought that the concubine who had framed her was also as delicate and trembling as Ye Xue, she felt hatred rising in her heart.

But no matter how much he hated it, he couldn't interfere in other people's affairs. He just gave a wink to the maid beside him. Soon the matter became known to everyone, and the Marquis's Mansion was truly disgraced.

Dong Yuan didn't know that Ye Xue had hooked up with Li Chengge yet, but now he was the first to jump out and point his finger at Li Chengge and scold him, "How can you be worthy of Ah Zhen's love for you all these years!"

"She has done so much for you, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Li Chengge said, "It is the fault of the Marquisate for not entertaining the guests well, but this is a private matter of the Marquisate. In what capacity do you, Miss Dong, question this general?"

Dong Yuan was speechless.

Mrs. Chen had been waiting for Ye Zhen to speak, but Ye Zhen remained indifferent. She could tell that Li Chengge was trying to drive people away.

Then he asked Ye Zhen, "Does the Ye family know about this?"

Ye Zhen shook her head. "My parents are heartbroken over my eldest sister's death. I can't bear to make them sad any further."

Madam Chen raised her eyebrows, "Madam's death is related to their affair?"

Ye Zhen frowned slightly, lowered her eyes and remained silent, as if she agreed with this statement, which made the others gasp.

As soon as the word "adultery" came out, Li Chengge clenched his fists, and when he looked at Ye Zhen's expression, the corners of his eyes twitched.

Discussions arose one after another.

"The general's wife has been guarding the mansion for four years, and she has taught her beloved concubine so well, but she doesn't care about her concubine and is hanging out with other bitches."

"This third young lady's mother was a prostitute. What good can she learn?"

"That's right. Most likely he saw that the general had a promising future and wanted to climb up the social ladder."

Ye Xue knelt on the ground and sobbed. No matter how harshly others said it, she did not refute a word. Although she had not thought of forcing Li Chengge, it might not be a bad thing to make a fuss about it.

Obviously, she was really afraid that Li Chengge would fall into Ye Zhen's trap and she would get nothing in the end.

Although it is a bit embarrassing now, at least she doesn't have to hide. Li Chengge has to admit it even if she doesn't want to.

Zheng came over angrily to defend her son, "Who doesn't have three wives and four concubines? I don't believe that any master's house is clean."

The faces of the ladies froze. Although these words prevented them from committing a crime, they also caused hatred.

"Besides, they were just a little closer and didn't do anything. What's there to discuss?"

Zheng was smart enough not to let anyone know that they had been having an affair.

It is true that Ye Xue and Li Chengge did not kiss each other just now, so it can only be said that the two of them are not innocent, but they cannot be charged with adultery.

After Zheng finished speaking, she pointed at Ye Zhen viciously, "You didn't take good care of your own sister, and let her tarnish the reputation of the general and the marquis's mansion, and you're still feeling wronged?"

"Rong'er entrusted the entire Marquis' Mansion to you, but you didn't care about the details of the funeral, and you didn't care about Chengge's reputation. What on earth do you want to do?"

Zheng was so angry that she felt dizzy and had to be supported by a maid to avoid falling.

Madam Chen sneered, "Old Madam, what you said is biased. It takes two to tango. This is the first time I've seen someone blame someone with a good reputation instead of a vixen for something like this."

"The rules of the Marquis' Mansion are really strange."

Zheng blushed and was unwilling to accept it, but she couldn't refute it, so she frowned at Ye Zhen again, "You just watch others humiliate Chengge?"

Ye Zhen slowly glanced at Ye Xue, who was lying on the ground with a wronged look on her face, and said calmly, "What the old lady said makes sense. The general just likes the third sister. It's no big deal."

"The Marquis' Mansion is not a place where people are wronged. After the eldest sister is buried, I will propose marriage on behalf of the general and take the third sister into the family."

No one expected that she would be so tolerant and generous to accept Ye Xue at this time and give Li Chengge enough face.

Zheng was so angry that she didn't know where to vent her anger and even suspected that she had heard it wrongly.

Li Chengge's pupils dilated slightly, and every word Ye Zhen said was beating in his heart. This was indeed the situation he wanted most, but if it happened like what happened to Xiaoyan that night, he would be happy.

But now, he felt uneasy.

Sure enough, the next second, Ye Zhen said quietly, "The general and I have not yet been married, and the six months I have been in the Marquis' Mansion is also a boundary crossing. Since the general has found a close friend, I am willing to cancel the engagement and help you two be together."

break off an engagement?

Except for Dong Yuan, everyone was shocked, but many people could completely understand Ye Zhen in their hearts.

Although they were both concubines' daughters, Ye Xue was a worthless person. Li Chengge's hanging out with her not only humiliated Ye Zhen's years of infatuation, but also trampled her face on the ground.

"You..." Mrs. Chen was so shocked that she couldn't speak, but she couldn't help but worry about Ye Zhen.

But before she could persuade him, Li Chengge suddenly laughed softly, his eyes as cold as ice, "You deliberately brought people here to discover this general and Ye Xue."

"You take revenge on this general."

"You want to force me to agree to cancel the engagement, right?"

Li Chengge felt that the blood in his body was being pressed down by something, and he felt swollen and uncomfortable. He knew that he shouldn't have forced her just now, but he failed. Why was she so cruel and ruthless that she had to expose such a trivial matter to others?

She was so selfish, so selfish that she didn't care about his reputation or future, and tried every possible way to leave him.

Ye Zhen plotted against him.

How dare she plot against him!

Ye Zhen looked indifferent, "If the general feels that this will make him feel better, I have nothing to say."

Li Chengge rushed over, his eyes wide open, "You admit that you schemed against me, right?"

Ye Zhen was well prepared and quickly hid beside Mrs. Chen. Li Chengge's roar followed closely, "Ye Zhen, how dare you!"

Mrs. Chen was a little nervous when she saw the almost crazy Li Chengge, but she still held Ye Zhen's hand tightly without hesitation, "General, please calm down."

"I'm asking her."

"answer me!"

Li Chengge pointed at Ye Zhen and roared again.

Ye Zhen choked up and lowered her eyelashes, "Whatever the general thinks, it doesn't matter anyway."

Zheng understood what he had heard, and couldn't wait to pin all the blame on her. "I told you that after Rong'er's 100 days, Chengge will make you your legal wife. She is your biological sister, can't you even wait for a few days?"

Zheng started to talk nonsense, "It's only two or three months, and we have already promised you, why are you doing this!"

"You hold Rong'er's dowry in your hands, and you also hold the betrothal gift from the Marquis' Mansion in your hands. How can you like Chengge? You are clearly trying to cheat the Marquis' Mansion of the betrothal gift!"

Ye Zhen couldn't help laughing. Zheng was really impatient. Seeing that things would get out of hand, she was afraid that Li Chengge would really break off the engagement with her and not get a penny, so she put the blame on her first.

Ye Zhen said, "General, you are sorry for your elder sister. Do you still expect her to die and leave her dowry for you to use for your entertainment?"

"The old lady is stretching her hand too far."
