Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

After Sancho left, Ye Zhen broke out in a cold sweat.

She was really confused that day, and she was anxious to see Ye Rong, so she dropped her torn clothes! The underwear fell into his hands, and he deliberately used this to threaten her today.

But Sancho is a Taoist priest after all, fame and fortune have no meaning to him, is it for money or...

Ye Zhen stroked his forehead, feeling a severe headache.

She didn't dare to think of the other possibility. What they did that day was so soul-stirring. Could this bastard use this as a threat to take advantage of her?

Can't sit still.

"Liuxia, take out my set of needles and apply poison to them."

Liuxia's expression tensed up and she hastily closed the window. "Second Miss, if you kill someone in the Marquis' Mansion, something bad will happen."

Ye Zhen smiled at her, "I know, it's just for self-defense."

Why do you need to poison for self-defense?

But when Liuxia thought of Li Chengge's angry look that day, she felt uneasy for her, so she made up her mind and went to prepare.

In the afternoon, Ye Xue came over with her willow-like waist, wiped her tears, and then knelt outside the door. "Second sister, if you want to blame someone, blame me. If you want to punish someone, punish me. The fault is all mine."

"You can do whatever you want to calm down, but don't make it difficult for the general."

Based on Ye Zhen's character, Ye Xue was sure that she would never let herself say this, because her only advantage was to save the face of the Marquis' Mansion and Li Chengge.

However, she didn't know what went wrong, and Ye Zhen ignored her.

She knelt until her waist and knees ached, but she had no way to retreat, and her tears were somewhat genuine. "The general has been busy away from home, and it makes me sad to see my elder sister when I come back. If my second sister gets angry with me again, the general will feel even worse."

"Second sister managed the mansion so well, and suddenly she left a bunch of things and refused to deal with them. You hate me, there's no need to embarrass others."

Ye Xue was quite clever, and every word she said was for Li Chengge's sake, which made Ye Zhen look narrow-minded and unreasonable.

She looked at the tightly closed door, bit her lip and wiped the sweat from her forehead, her eyes already showing some anxiety and resentment, "If Second Sister refuses to agree to me, I will kneel and die in front of your door to relieve your hatred."

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened.

Ye Xue's anxiety completely disappeared, and she pretended to wipe away her tears, but she was mocking in her heart, knowing that she could not bear this reputation. In her previous life, Ye Zhen watched Li Chengge marry concubines one after another for the sake of her own reputation, and pretended to be reasonable. Later, when she knew that she and Li Chengge were secretly having an affair, she pretended not to know for the sake of her reputation.

Ye Zhen sat on a stool, fanning herself leisurely. She was wearing a lake green dress and a pearl headdress, which made her look fresh and fair. Her expression did not show the anger and dissatisfaction that Ye Xue had expected, nor the nervousness and anxiety that came from worrying about her reputation.

She only said, "Third sister, don't come to my courtyard to act. If you really want to help the general out of trouble, it would be best to hit your head and die."

Ye Xue's face turned pale and she sobbed, "Second sister, do you really want me to die?"

"Stop." Ye Zhen tapped her palms with her small fan, her nonchalant expression revealing a coldness that no one could ignore. "You came here to ask for your life or death, and I never argued with you from the beginning to the end."

"Besides, I would like to ask what your identity is? Is the general in trouble and needs you to solve it?"

Ye Xue's teeth were almost broken. She was really nothing now, not even a maid! Compared with Ye Zhen, she was really willing to be lowly.

But this is only temporary, Li Chengge likes her!

She cried even harder, "I just feel sorry for the general. I don't want any status, I don't want anything. What can you do to let me stay by the general's side and serve him?"

If her disturbance was exaggerated by someone with ulterior motives and spread outside, even if Ye Zhen succeeded in breaking off the engagement, she would still be branded as jealous and intolerant.

"Whether to keep you or not is the general's business. Whether to keep you or not is the eldest sister's decision. It has nothing to do with me. Third sister, instead of crying here, you might as well go to the eldest sister's bedside and take care of her. Maybe the eldest sister will show mercy and promote you for the general's sake."

Ye Xue refuted without words.

She was deliberately playing the victim, making people think that Ye Zhen was cruel and jealous. Unexpectedly, Ye Zhen cleared herself with just two sentences. It was indeed Ye Rong who was the mistress, and it was Ye Rong who could not tolerate her. Because Ye Rong would not give in, Li Chengge slept with her at night, but never mentioned the matter of separation during the day.

Seeing that she was frustrated, Ye Zhen lazily ordered, "Come here, send the third young lady to Cheng'en Courtyard, so that she won't waste her mood today."

Ye Rong was breathing out more than breathing in, so Ye Xue didn't dare to go over and make trouble. "Don't bother with that!"

Ye Xue left resolutely. She was upset and sprained her ankle when she left the hospital. Liuxia hurriedly supported her and said, "Miss Third, be careful. If you have any problems in Ningguang Hospital, it will really cause trouble for the general and the second lady."

"You!" Ye Xue rolled her eyes, pushed Liuxia away fiercely, and left in a huff.

Not long after, word spread in the mansion that Ye Zhen forced Ye Xue to die to vent her hatred.

Liuxia checked it out and found that it was from the old lady Lanyuan. Ye Zhen thought to herself that this old woman was resentful of not getting the material and took the opportunity to ruin her reputation.

But everything was interrupted by Cheng'enyuan's crying.

Li Xuan'an had just returned from the palace and still had bruises on his face. He went to Ye Rong's place as soon as he got back home and did not come out until about half an hour later.

When Li Chengge saw beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, he knew that Ye Rong was in bad condition.

"Brother, if sister-in-law has any unfulfilled wishes, please fulfill them as soon as possible while there is still time." His light words made everyone's heart fall into the abyss.

"How long will it take?" Although Li Chengge knew this day would come, his eyes were still dazed and his voice was a little hoarse.

"One or two days at most."

Li Xuan intended to wipe the sweat off his face with a handkerchief, but he couldn't find it after searching his waist and cuffs for two times. Suddenly, a dark light appeared in his eyes, which were usually calm.

As soon as he came out, he asked Yun Zhui, "Did the handkerchief I always carry with me these days fall into the room?"

“But the one with kite-colored bamboo embroidery?” Yun Zhui was very impressed by this thing, because Li Xuan always used pure white sweat towels. It was also the first time for him to see something embroidered. The key point was that he didn’t know where the master got it from.

I carried it with me for a few days, but I couldn't bear to wipe the sweat off my face. When I had nothing to do, I even liked to stare at the handkerchief.

"Yes." Li Xuan'an's voice was a little tense.

Yun Zhui laughed and said, "The palace urged you to bring it today, so you forgot to bring it."

Li Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, but Yun Zhui changed the subject, "Master Junior found it interesting and said he would wear it for half a day and bring it back to you after it's washed."

Li Xu'an's eyelids suddenly jumped, "Where is Junior Master-Uncle?"

Yun Zhui felt a chilling aura around him, even more frightening than when Ye Lie faced a powerful unknown object. "I'll go get him over here right now."

Li Xuan'an's intuition was always accurate. Sure enough, Yun Zhui came back soon and said breathlessly, "I searched the entire Baoyue Tower but couldn't find Junior Master."

Li Xuan'an's eyes were as cold as ice, his lips were tightly pursed, and his slender fingers moved a few times, "In the southwest corner."

Under the crabapple tree, Ye Zhen arrived as promised.

Her fingers hidden under her sleeves were holding a few poisoned silver needles, but her eyes as she looked at Sancho were calm and flawless.

Sancho held up his handkerchief, and the moonlight sprinkled on the brocade, reflecting a pale white gelatinous halo.

He said, "This seems to be the precious brocade that the Cui family gave to Madam a month ago. At that time, the Imperial Master had just returned with us. When we entered the mansion, we saw servants carrying two pieces of silk. They were dazzling in the sun."

Ye Zhen stood not far from him and saw that he was wearing a yellow Taoist robe today, and the Bagua pattern on his chest was exactly the same as the one he saw in the attic that day.

Her palms were covered in cold sweat, and she forced herself to stay calm. "I was poisoned by the Hehuan Powder that day. I had no choice."

"But the Taoist priest also practices a false way and took advantage of my unpreparedness to do something ridiculous."

Sancho turned his back to her and his expression suddenly became cold.

Ye Zhen added, "I don't care whether the Taoist priest is real or fake. We can just take it as a matter of mutual benefit and forget about it."

She lowered her voice, "But it's too much for the Taoist priest to use a small piece of clothing as a handkerchief to wear. What do you want?"

Ye Zhen didn't want to be outdone. "As long as it's not an excessive request, I can consider it, but you must return the things to me today."
