Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

"The general agreed to bring me here, but he refused to let me in." What Ye Xue was most worried about was that Li Chengge would fall in love with someone else. It had only been a few days, and he was already flirting with Qin Yu.

Li Chengge's face was filled with nonsense, "I already told you that it would be even more embarrassing if you go in with your identity."

Embarrassment was one thing, but the most important thing was that Prince Yu had always been dissatisfied with the commotion caused by his marriage to Ye Xue. How dare he bring people in front of Prince Yu?

Ye Xue looked sad, "Ms. Qin is just a dancing girl, but she was able to go in, and the general even escorted her out personally. She wasn't embarrassed at all. After all, I am your concubine."

Li Chengge saw the male guests coming out one after another, and hurriedly said in a low voice, "She was invited by Prince Yu to dance, can you compete with her?"

"It's true that I'm a lowly woman, but I'm my father's legitimate illegitimate daughter. Am I not as good as a dancing girl?" Ye Xue lost her temper. As soon as she said this, all the goodwill she had gained before was wasted.

"Don't cry. It will upset others if you see it."

Li Chengge pushed Ye Xue aside impatiently, straightened his clothes, turned around and greeted everyone one by one.

Ye Xue endured the grievance and stood there in a pink dress, very conspicuous. Whenever someone greeted Li Chengge, she would bow, just waiting for someone to ask about it so that Li Chengge would be proud.

However, although everyone saw her, no one asked anything. They just ignored her as a living person and started teasing Li Chengge and Qin Yu.

"Our General Feihu is really popular with women. Miss Qin is known for her high standards, but she performed the entire dance as if it was specially performed for the general. We are so envious."

It was still the Grand Tutor's young master Xu Zechuan who dared to make fun of Li Chengge in public. He even patted him on the shoulder with the fan, with a look of envy on his face.

"General, it would be better for you to take a beauty like Miss Qin back to the Marquis' Mansion and hide her there as soon as possible, so that we don't have to miss her every day, but she doesn't like us."

"Ah, it makes both sides unhappy."

Xu Zechuan's half-hearted sigh caused everyone to burst into laughter, and they all followed suit. Li Chengge also felt a little itchy, "Mr. Xu, you are joking."

"General, don't be so modest. You can give me a glass of wedding wine later."

Liuxia was so happy when she saw this, "The Third Miss's cheeks are stiff. She deserves it."

Ye Zhen leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes to rest. "She knows how to exploit Li Chengge's weakness, but she overestimates herself and the bottom line that Li Chengge can tolerate in a woman."

In the previous life, Ye Xue and Li Chengge had an affair secretly. Li Chengge was more fascinated by the thrill of having an affair with his brother's wife than with a concubine who was married to him in a formal ceremony.

He inherited the title of Marquis and slept with Li Xuan'an's wife, which was even more satisfying than being promoted to a higher position, which made Ye Xue mistakenly believe that he loved her the most. Therefore, in this life, Ye Xue thought that as long as she took away Ye Zhen's status, she would be able to rest easy all the way.

Ye Zhen whispered, "Go back and ask Rong Fei to keep an eye on Qin Yu. Li Chengge will not give up."

If he could find an opportunity to make Li Chengge and Prince Yu's aide jealous and cause trouble, no matter how much Prince Yu loved him, he would not let him ruin the reputation of the Northern Camp Army again and again.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen felt refreshed. In her previous life, she was able to lift Li Chengge to the top, and this time she could also make him sink into the mud.

As soon as she finished speaking, a servant came running over and whispered a few words in Liuxia's ear. Liuxia's expression froze, and she got in the car and told Ye Zhen about Fang Jing and Ye Xue's meeting.

"Xiao Nian also said that after we entered the manor, Hong Luo bumped into Mr. Liu's servant, and the two talked for a while before they dispersed."

Ye Zhen suddenly understood.

No wonder Fang Jing made things difficult for Liuxia and she looked frightened when she saw me. No wonder Qin Yu had no one to lead the way into the manor. No wonder Fang Jing dragged me to find the jade pendant and even hid it in the guest room under the pretext of changing clothes.

It was Ye Xue who instigated the two of them, asking Fang Jing to create trouble to attract everyone to the small pond. She also sent a note to Liu An in advance, asking him to meet under her own name. Liu An was also so bold that he dared to humiliate Ye Zhen on Prince Yu's territory.

When Fang Jing saw Ye Zhen appear, she guessed that Liu An had failed, and she kept pestering Ye Zhen, hoping that Liu An would get the news and come to help her out.

When Ye Zhen thought of this, he felt a chill in his back.

If she hadn't been unwilling to give up, and hadn't seen Qin Yu trying to kill someone with a borrowed knife, she would have been afraid that when Fang Jing was in trouble, the one who came would not be Li Xuan'an, but that bastard Liu An.

Then they will create some topics to tie themselves and Liu An together...

Ye Zhen clenched her fists tightly. She would not let Ye Xue go, nor would she let Fang Jing go!

"Let Xiaonian come over."

In her previous life, Fang Jing hooked up with Prince Yu and made things difficult for Ye Zhen at every turn. She thought that she could calm down the situation by being tolerant a few times, but she didn't expect that the Fang family had collected evidence of collusion between officials and businessmen of the Cui family. Ye Zhen had no choice but to find something against Minister Fang and, on the grounds that Fang Jing had seduced Prince Yu, she brought the Fang family down from their high ground.

Ye Zhen sorted out his thoughts and told Xiaonian to go to the south to take a closer look at the disaster relief grain. "The shopkeeper of Huainan Jinxiu Manor is my man. If you take my letter with you, he will find a way to help you."

Xiao Nian was brought up by Rong Fei. Although he was young, he was always cautious. Hearing this, he said seriously, "Second Miss, rest assured. I will do a good job on this mission."

Ye Zhen nodded. At this moment, she was extremely glad that she had only made a fool of herself with Li Chengge in her previous life. Over the years, with the trust of Cui and Ye Rong, she was able to reach out quite a lot, and she also had trusted people to rely on, which saved her a lot of trouble.

After Cui's death in the previous life, the Cui family also trusted Ye Zhen very much. In order to cooperate with the Marquis' Mansion, their head of the family even gave Ye Zhen a seal that could be used to mobilize all the shops of the Cui family to show his sincerity.

In this life, given Cui's current relationship with her, it would probably be difficult.

However, Ye Zhen has not been idle these days. She has people employed in the shops and properties under her. Two days ago, Cui sent people to take over the two shops that Ye Rong brought as a dowry, but has not touched hers for the time being.

Ye Zhen knew very well that she had been good at winning people's hearts in the past, relying only on her status as the future mistress of the Marquis' Mansion. If she could not gain a firm foothold now, she would not be able to keep anyone even without waiting for Cui to make a move.

Thinking of this, Ye Zhen became anxious, and the wound on the back of her neck started to itch again, "Why hasn't Madam come out yet?"

Cui deliberately waited until all the other ladies had left, and then asked Wang Ma to give Ruan a turquoise bracelet. The color was smooth and each stone was full, with almost no flaws visible under the light. The slightly raised corners of Ruan's lips showed that she was very satisfied.

Cui said cautiously, "Ye Zhen feels that her family background is not good, and now she has broken off the engagement, so she doesn't dare to accept the old lady's kindness."

"This child is careful and sensible, and she has a bad temper because of Rong'er's pampering. If the old lady can really lift her up, I will be very grateful."

Ruan's smile gradually disappeared, and finally she touched the turquoise bracelet and said, "I understand what Madam means. But Prince Yu's Mansion never forces anyone. Miss Ye Er saved me once, so I decided to cancel her marriage with the Marquis' Mansion."

"It can be considered as repaying her kindness."

Hearing this, Cui's face turned pale, "Old Madam..."

Ruan interrupted her and continued, "It is rare that the Imperial Master has done me a favor and told me my fortune. Miss Ye's horoscope complements mine, and she is my benefactor."

"The Imperial Master also warned us not to force it."

Cui hit a snag and the turquoise was returned.

As soon as she came out, she heard others talking about Li Chengge and Qin Yu. Then she saw Ye Xue dressed like a morning glory and posing coquettishly. The corners of Cui's mouth twitched twice. She didn't want to leave at this moment.

"Where's Ye Zhen?"

Seeing Liuxia guarding the carriage, Wang Ma said, "I guess she's already boarded."

Cui frowned. She got into the car without even waiting for him to serve her?

This is not the important thing. What makes her most angry is that Ye Zhen seems to be slipping away from her control little by little.

One imperial master was not enough, and now here comes a general from the Dong family... No matter how dissatisfied she is, she cannot treat her like an ordinary mistress who can kill a concubine's daughter at will.

Cui was unhappy and said, "Let her go first. I don't want to see her right now."
