Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Hong Luo was completely panicked. After thinking for a long time, she could not think of any solution. She knelt down for a few steps, looked at Ye Xue and said, "Miss Third, please save me!"

Ye Xue had no time to pretend to be pitiful and weak. She didn't dare to look Li Chengge and Cui in the eye. She just pretended to wipe her tears and covered her eyes with a handkerchief, "I, I feel so uncomfortable..."

"Father, help me." Now she could only pretend to be unwell, leaning against the door frame, gasping and murmuring.

Cui laughed mockingly, "Auntie Wang, please take good care of the Third Miss."

"Someone! Drag Hongluo down for me to interrogate. I must find out where she got the poison from!"

When Hong Luo was dragged away, his whole body was limp and the only hope in his eyes was Ye Xue.

Ye Zhen restrained her edge, and when she looked at Li Chengge again, she was startled by his gaze. He seemed to be recognizing her for the first time, with a curious and... somewhat excited look on his face.

baffling.

"This matter has nothing to do with my brother. In the future, please distinguish right from wrong and don't be fooled by women again."

Ye Zhen's clear and concise words immediately made Li Chengge a little angry. He tutted his tongue and was about to speak, but Cui reminded Ye Zhen, "How do you talk to the general?"

Cui saw clearly from the look in Li Chengge's eyes when he looked at Ye Zhen just now that a man was interested in a woman, this was the best opportunity and she didn't need to bother making arrangements.

Whether Ye Xue returns home today or not is not a big deal. What is important to her is that Ye Zhen surrenders and goes back to the Marquis' Mansion with Li Chengge.

Ye Xue's tactics were shallow, and she was very satisfied with how Ye Zhen broke the game.

Therefore, Cui put on airs and said, "Since the matter has nothing to do with Jing Lan, it will not affect the relationship between you and the general. The general is worried about Ye Xue, you should understand."

Li Chengge understood Cui's meaning immediately after hearing her words, and his eyebrows relaxed. If Ye Zhen could go back to the Marquis' Mansion with him, everything would be perfect.

He wants Ye Xue, and Ye Zhen...has always been his!

However, Ye Zhen said slowly, "The general and I have broken off our engagement, so it has nothing to do with me. Is the general so worried about his woman that he can kill innocent people?"

"Ye Zhen can't understand."

This was the first time Cui was rejected by her. Her eyes suddenly became sharp. "Marriage is a big deal. It's up to your parents and the matchmaker. You can't just back out of it."

Li Chengge raised his eyebrows, "This general has not agreed to break off the engagement with you."

Ye Zhen gritted her teeth; the scene she was most worried about finally happened.

Seeing that she had nothing to say, Li Chengge rarely had the upper hand in this matter, and said with a generous and merciful look, "This general will only give you one chance. If you are willing to return to the Marquis' Mansion obediently, all the past will be forgiven. If you are still stubborn and insist on going against this general, then this general will give you a letter of divorce today."

He lowered his voice and threatened, "You will have to spend the rest of your life in a nunnery."

Breaking off an engagement is different from divorce. The former will only be discussed for a period of time, and then it will be over. Divorce is unclean and a serious mistake, which will bring shame to the mother's family and will make the person become a wandering ghost after death.

Cui was shocked. Rong'er had painstakingly trained her for many years and she couldn't let all her efforts go to waste.

"General, your words are too serious. Ye Zhen has been spoiled by Rong'er. I want her to apologize to the general and stay in the Marquis' Mansion in the future."

Cui expressed her opinion, but Li Chengge was dissatisfied. "She contradicted me, the general, and made my mother sick. She left the mansion without permission, and ruined the reputation of the mansion. Even if she is willing to return to the mansion today, she is not worthy of the position of concubine."

Cui frowned and gritted her teeth. Who let Ye Zhen cause all this trouble? She could only go back to the Marquis' Mansion and make plans. "This... is natural."

Ye Jinglan watched Cui and Li Chengge lift Ye Zhen up one by one. He grabbed Ye Zhen's sleeve and said, "Sister, you can't go back."

Ye Zhen patted his arm, smiled to comfort him, and turned to look at Li Chengge, "I can agree to the general's request and go back to the mansion with you honestly, but Ye Xue framed my brother, what explanation do you plan to give me?"

Li Chengge's eyes were sharp. Explain? What a big tone!

But thinking of the commander's request and Deputy General Cen's responsibility to escort grain for him, he endured it and said, "Hongluo, you can kill him if you want."

Ye Zhen laughed in anger and didn't beat around the bush with him, "I replaced the dripping Guanyin in Jinglan Courtyard with a calla lily, but this thing was given to me by my wife, how can I just throw it away."

"After I informed my elder sister, she kept the Dripping Water Guanyin in the study of the Marquis's Mansion. The general went in and out every day. Didn't he notice this thing by his window?"

Li Chengge was suddenly startled. He never paid attention to these things, but in front of the window...

He only thought of the day when Ye Zhen was reading a military book in his room, and there seemed to be a pot of green plants by the windowsill.

"The general's study is not Jinglan's yard. Hongluo can do whatever she wants."

"Whether you met Jing Lan in the market today or not, Ye Xue has no good intentions when she returns home."

"The general asked me to go back to the Marquis' Mansion. Are you willing to deal with her?"

Ye Zhen dared to ask this because she knew Li Chengge's hypocrisy too well. He would not punish Ye Xue, who was his concubine after he betrayed his wife, and he claimed to be deeply in love with her, so he favored Ye Xue in front of everyone in the market, just to confirm that reputation.

People in this world are tolerant of men falling in love with every woman they meet. After a few days, there will be a new topic and people will gradually forget about it.

But if he punished Ye Xue today, he would be slapping himself in the face.

As expected, Li Chengge's face was gloomy. "Your brother is fine. Ye Xue deserves it. This is already a punishment."

Ye Zhen said, "General, please write a letter of divorce."

Cui's palms were sweating, "Ye Zhen!"

Li Chengge stood up angrily, "How long are you going to make trouble? I have given you a way out several times, but you insist on going against me?"

Ye Zhen stared at him coldly, "General, you can't see this. I don't care about the divorce or the divorce. I just want to sever all ties with you, and we will have nothing to do with each other in the future, including marriage and funerals."

Li Chengge never knew that the words of a woman in the harem could be so destructive. It made him feel powerless and terrified as if the enemy had stabbed him in the heart.

Her expression and words were more resolute and colder than the last.

What a joke! He doesn't accept it!

Li Chengge was so excited that he lost his mind. "You are dreaming! What dripping Guanyin is in the Marquis' Mansion? This general said that it was your brother who harmed Ye Xue. It was him who harmed her! If you don't go back to the Marquis' Mansion, your brother will be imprisoned in the Dali Temple."

"Li Chengge!" Ye Zhen was furious and shouted his name angrily. The two of them confronted each other, and their eyes were like sharp swords.

"I'm going to make it clear today. Not only will you return to the Marquis' Mansion, but you'll also have to admit that you're jealous of Ye Xue and accept the punishment. I can guarantee that when this is over, you'll still be the Marquis's concubine, and Zhongkui will still be in your charge."

When Cui heard this, she felt relieved. However, before she could persuade him, Ye Jinglan blushed because of the atmosphere and said, "I would rather go to the Dali Temple than let my sister go back!"

Ye Zhen's tense body suddenly softened when she saw Ye Jinglan holding her sleeve tightly, as if he was afraid that she would agree to Li Chengge's request.

The feeling of being connected by blood and protecting each other made her nose sore.

Li Chengge laughed in anger, "Well, I want to see how long you can stay in the Dali Temple."

"Somebody come!"

Ye Zhen's pupils trembled. She couldn't really let her younger brother go to jail.

"Someone is coming from Prince Yu's Mansion!"

The extremely tense atmosphere in the inner courtyard was interrupted by a shout from a servant. Cui's expression suddenly froze. The Ye family and Prince Yu had never had any contact, so what was the purpose of someone suddenly coming to the palace?

Li Chengge's throat tightened. Could it be that what happened at the market had spread to the North Camp, and the prince was angry?

Only Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately understood what Li Xuan'an meant, "You'll know soon."

An indescribable feeling arises in my heart.
