Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Ye Zhen stood under the shade of the tree for a while. Maybe the effect of the medicine had worn off or something, but the sunburned area began to feel hot and painful again.

When it moves, it feels like a small insect drilling into the skin and flesh.

Liuxia saw that she was fidgeting, "Second Miss, is your wound hurting again?"

Seeing that the carriage was still nowhere to be seen, Ye Zhen shook her head and said, "Not bad."

Liuxia pursed her lips at her and said, "Look, the general came out with someone, and Miss San's eyes are as red as a rabbit."

Ye Zhen looked sideways and saw that Li Chengge's coat was still draped over Qin Yu. He looked majestic and spacious in his dark sleeved shirt, giving him a sense of security.

Qin Yu looked even more like a little bird in comparison with him. When she raised her eyes, she looked like a cloud, as if afraid that it would break if touched.

Some female relatives left one after another, leaving about six or seven ladies. They were so shocked by what happened that they couldn't close their mouths.

Ye Xue's face turned pale. How could she not recognize Qin Yu!

Among the seven concubines in her previous life, Qin Yu was the most favored. She went through a lot of trouble to get pregnant with a child, but unfortunately the child died before the birth. Since then, she has been in tears every day and has no intention of competing for favor.

Li Chengge initially felt that he owed her and patiently coaxed and accompanied her. Over time, as his career progressed, he gradually forgot about Qin Yu.

Ye Xue clenched her fists, her teeth itching with hatred, but fortunately she was reborn and her mind was more flexible than in her previous life.

So he hid the jealousy in his eyes, walked forward with a smile, and pulled Li Chengge's arm from Qin Yu without leaving a trace, "General, is this sister feeling unwell?"

"Your coat is too long. It might trip you."

She turned around and told Hongluo, "Go and get the new cloak I made, and call a car to take this sister here."

At this point, Ye Xue looked at Qin Yu straight in the eye and asked, "Which family are you from, sister?"

Qin Yu's face was pale, with tears in the corners of her eyes. Hearing this, she looked at Li Chengge at a loss.

Li Chengge was satisfied with Ye Xue's attitude, but he didn't like her forcing herself between him and Qin Yu. "This is Miss Qin from Qianwu Pavilion. She just..."

Li Chengge coughed lightly and said, "I sprained my ankle while dancing."

Ye Xue's eyes curved into a line, and she deliberately raised her voice, "It turns out that she is the famous Miss Qin Yu from Qianwu Pavilion. No wonder she looks so beautiful."

"Spraining your ankle is no small matter. I will ask someone to go back and get a doctor. He will be available to see Miss Qin as soon as she returns to the capital."

Qin Yu guessed that she was the concubine that Li Chengge had brought back to the mansion in a high-profile manner. He originally thought that she was just the daughter of a seductive and charming concubine, but he didn't expect her to be so capable.

Seeing that they were so close, he did not show any jealousy, and his words gave Li Chengge enough face.

Ye Xue personally took Li Chengge's coat from Qin Yu's shoulders, turned around and helped Li Chengge put it on. She even shook off the dust on his head before doing so. Qin Yu couldn't laugh at all when he saw this.

Then he took his cloak from Hongluo and covered it on Qin Yu, whispering in her ear, "Sister, you don't have to rush to return it. This is a new one. If you don't mind, keep it to keep out the wind."

"Please invite my sister to come over for a gathering some other day."

Ye Xue smiled and pulled Qin Yu to give instructions. Anyone who saw this would have to admire her, except Ye Zhen who knew that Ye Xue's rebirth was not in vain.

In his previous life, Ye Zhen took good care of these concubines. One reason was to save his mistress's reputation, and the other was to relax their vigilance so that he would not be held responsible for anything that happened in the future.

Ye Xue did this just to please Li Chengge, but unfortunately she only learned the basics.

Everyone could see Li Chengge's feelings for Qin Yu. It was really stupid to praise a dancing girl in front of so many wives.

Qin Yu knelt down and saluted, "Thank you for your kindness, Auntie."

"The prince has sent a car to take me home, so I won't bother you."

Ye Xue was stunned for a moment, then she slapped her own corner of the mouth and laughed at herself, "Look how stupid I am. The young lady is the prince's guest, how can it be my turn to take care of her?"

Now not only Qin Yu looked unhappy, but Li Chengge also came to his senses.

Was it worth it for him to escort Prince Yu's guest all the way? But... Qin Yu did not refuse him.

Seeing Qin Yu's embarrassed expression, Li Chengge brushed Ye Xue away and said, "Miss Qin, I will arrange two people to take you back safely."

Qin Yu looked grateful, "Thank you, General."

Ye Xue also said, "Hongluo, follow us so that we can greet Miss Qin on the way."

Qin Yu bowed again and said, "I am fine. I dare not trouble my aunt's people."

Ye Xue held Li Chengge's arm and smiled, "The general's people can be used, so why can't I use my people?"

"What did the General say?"

Li Chengge couldn't hear what was wrong specifically, but he just felt it was awkward.

Ye Xue wanted to strangle Qin Yu to death, but she pretended to be sensible on the surface, "General, please don't worry. I will go with you to see Miss Qin another day."

Li Chengge saw her leaning against him, and thinking of her passion for Qin Yu just now, his heart softened, "It's wrong for you to wait for me for so long."

With what he said, Ye Xue’s efforts were not in vain.

Li Chengge could not see through her hypocrisy, but those ladies who had been fighting in the inner palace for half their lives saw it clearly. For example, Ning, the wife of General Pei Xuan, who was also one of the four generals, died of depression because she lost her favor to a dancing girl.

Qin Yu's appearance already made her unhappy, and seeing Ye Xue being so spineless, she immediately mocked, "What an uneducated thing, she doesn't know how to advise her husband, and she's even licking her face and being a sister to a dancing girl."

"It's really hilarious."

"Mrs. Pei, don't be angry. Aunt Ye did this to leave a good reputation for herself. I think she is the one who is most upset right now."

Several other ladies also followed Ning's topic and enjoyed watching the joke.

Ning said coldly, "She is not the main wife. She failed to learn from the tiger and ended up being like a dog."

Ning rolled her eyes at Ye Xue, turned around and got into the car. Only then did Ye Xue dare to grit her teeth.

But Li Chengge's heart was still on Qin Yu, and he didn't protect her at all!

As soon as the ladies left, Ye Xue saw Ye Zhen and Liu Xia at a glance, and she felt a sense of suffocation in her chest, "Second sister used to be the one who was most willing to get together with the ladies of the various families. Why are you standing so far away today?"

"Is it possible that people don't like you anymore?"

Ye Xue smiled to herself, "That's right. It's unlucky for a woman to break off an engagement, but there's nothing we can do about it. It's all Second Sister's fault."

The discomfort of the wound on the back of Ye Zhen's neck became more and more obvious. She glanced lazily and said, "Of course I am not as thick-skinned as my third sister, who deliberately joined the crowd."

"I thought the general loved you so much, but it turns out that he didn't even let you in the manor."

Ye Zhen's few words were enough to make Ye Xue's defense collapse. It's not that she didn't ask Li Chengge to take her in, but Li Chengge said that her family background was too poor, and even if she went in, she would not be qualified to sit with those ladies, so it would be better for her to wait outside.

Ye Xue's heart sank at that moment, but she didn't dare to get angry. She pulled his sleeve and begged, "General, please come out soon."

She never dreamed that Li Chengge came out with Qin Yu.

Ye Xue gritted her teeth, "If I can't get in this time, there will be next time. The general and I have a lot of future together. But you, second sister, you failed to hook up with the second master, and now even the Dong family is thinking about you. It's really surprising."

Ye Zhen's carriage came over, and she gave Ye Xue a mocking smile, "Third sister likes to snatch things, why don't you also think about it?"

Ye Xue was so angry that her teeth itched. She grabbed Li Chengge's arm and said, "General, are you going to let them bully me?"

Li Chengge's mind was focused on Qin Yu's eyes. He couldn't help but think of his acquaintance with Ye Rong. He didn't hear what they said clearly. Now he came back to his senses, "Hmm? What?"

Seeing him like this, Ye Xue burst into tears, "The general's soul has also gone with Miss Qin."

Li Chengge frowned, "What are you talking about!"

"The general knows what I mean."

Li Chengge shook off her hand and saw Ye Zhen getting ready to get on the bus. He said in annoyance, "What are you doing?"
