My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.

Ye Qinglan waited until Ye Huai finished scolding her before asking in a low voice, "Dad, how is the prince now?"

"I've already returned to the Marquis' Mansion, you should go back too! You are not allowed to come back again without my permission!" Ye Huai roared angrily.

Ye Qinglan felt a chill in her heart, tears welled up in her eyes: "Dad, can you take me home to stay for a few days? If I go back to the Marquis' Mansion now, Jiang Shiming will beat me to death!"

"cannot!"

"Dad, do you want to watch your daughter die?"

"You have to bear the consequences of your own actions!"

Ye Huai didn't even turn his head.

The matter was so serious that Mrs. Ye could only give her daughter a look that said "I wish you good luck".

Seeing the two people leaving, Ye Qinglan became very nervous.

From now on, she has no mother's home...

There was nowhere to hide, so he had to bite the bullet and return to Changning Marquis Mansion.

The atmosphere in the Marquis' Mansion was unprecedentedly depressing.

Ye Qinglan lowered her head and walked in a hurry, wanting to go back to Lanyuan and be a coward.

"Aunt Ye is finally back." Mu Qing, along with a group of maids and nannies, had already been waiting in Lanyuan.

When Ye Qinglan saw this scene, her legs became weak and she almost knelt down: "Madam, aren't you recuperating from illness? How did you have time to come to Lanyuan..."

"Take him to Songhe Tower!"

"Yes!"

At Mu Qing's command, Ye Qinglan was taken away by two sturdy old women.

Songhe Tower is where Marquis Changning and the old lady live. Ye Qinglan has been married for so long but has never had the pleasure of visiting there.

Today she finally had the chance to go to Songhe Tower, but she was so scared.

"Madam, I was wrong! But I was also trying to make money for the Marquis's Mansion. I didn't know that I would be targeted by the Third Prince..."

"Madam, please let me go for the sake of my contribution! I have made money for the Marquis' Mansion..."

"..."

Ye Qinglan cried and begged continuously.

No one paid attention to her.

In Songhe Tower, Jiang Shiming was scolded by the old lady and beaten by Marquis Changning, and he was feeling upset.

Seeing Ye Qinglan was furious, he snatched the stick from the servant and swung it at Ye Qinglan: "It's all your fault! You evil spirit!"

"what--"

The thick wooden stick hit Ye Qinglan's lower abdomen hard, and the pain made her almost faint.

"I was so blind to accept such a disaster like you. If I had known earlier, I would have wanted Ye Qinghuan..."

"The prince is talking nonsense again."

Mu Qing interrupted Jiang Shiming majestically and stepped forward to take the stick from his hand.

Facing the pale Mu Qing who had been ill for a long time, Jiang Shiming did not get angry.

As if being scolded by her mother, she dared not fight back. She only pointed at Ye Qinglan and cursed: "Madam, it's all her fault that she has ruined me and our mansion. I want to divorce her!"

"Prince, calm down. Being angry won't solve the problem. You should think about the next steps!" Mu Qing comforted him gently.

Jiang Shiming finally calmed down and said, "I don't care! Madam, please deal with her!"

"Yes."

Jiang Shiming walked away.

Ye Qinglan was shivering like a dead leaf in the wind.

If the prince doesn't care about her, then is there any chance for her to survive?

"My son, my son..."

Ye Qinglan endured the pain in her stomach and chased after him, but was kicked in the heart by Jiang Shiming again: "Get lost! Unlucky thing! Don't touch me, my prince!"

Chang Ninghou didn't care about the women in the backyard. He glared at Ye Qinglan and left.

Mu Qing sat down next to the old lady and asked, "Mother, how should we deal with Ye Shi?"

"The Ye family misled my son and almost harmed the entire mansion. Such a person cannot serve the prince anymore." Old Madam Jiang looked at Ye Qinglan with great resentment, "But we still have to give face to the Ye family. Send her to the ancestral hall, copy scriptures and clean the ancestral hall every day, and apologize to our ancestors!"

"Yes." Mu Qing nodded and raised her hand to signal.

Several old women came forward, plucked the hairpins on Ye Qinglan's head, stripped off her gorgeous clothes, and threw her into the ancestral hall with her hair disheveled.

How humiliating is this?

Ye Qinglan was trembling palely, lying on the cold floor and crying silently.

If she can no longer serve the prince, how can she turn over and become the mistress?

They were both concubines of Jiang Shiming, so why was Ye Qinghuan able to rise so quickly while she was having a hard time?

What went wrong?

"Aunt Ye, please reflect on yourself and don't cause trouble again. Otherwise, Lord Ye will not be able to save your life." Mu Qing said.

Ye Qinglan looked up at Freedom and Glory as the door slowly closed, and asked unwillingly: "Madam, I have one more question to ask. Did the prince escape this disaster?"

"The Changning Marquisate has only one heir, so of course they have to protect the Crown Prince. But do you know how much the Changning Marquisate has paid?" Mu Qing sneered.

Ye Qinglan gritted her teeth and said, "Were you forced to surrender to the Third Prince?"

"You're quite clever."

it is as expected……

She was only thinking about dealing with Ye Qinghuan and Mu Qing, but never thought about getting involved in party disputes. She asked Gao Yu to use the coal hoarding incident to force Chang Ninghou and the Ye family to stand on the same side to assist him.

But actually, this is not wrong.

Crown Prince Gao Xun is a sickly person. If Gao Yu ascends to the throne, both the Marquisate and the Ye family should thank her for creating opportunities for them!

So, she's not done yet.

She still has a chance!

Everything that is happening now is a test given to her by God. In the end, everything will return to the starting point. She will definitely become the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion and receive a royal decree!

After counseling herself, Ye Qinglan became strong again.

Just as he was preparing to tidy up his appearance and burn incense to the Jiang family's ancestor to ask for protection, his abdominal pain suddenly intensified and it hurt as if someone was scraping him with a knife.

"Someone come, I'm in so much pain..."

----

The news that Gao Yu took action to rectify the charcoal market spread quickly. Ye Qinghuan held a hand warmer and listened to Feng He's report on what happened today.

"All the charcoal in the Jiang family's stockpile was confiscated, and the illegal gains were doubled and handed over to the court. Marquis Changning even knelt in front of the emperor for three hours before he rescued Jiang Shiming. Ye Qinglan was punished to go to the ancestral hall, and except for not having her hair shaved, she was no different from being a nun."

Ye Qinghuan frowned and murmured, "It turned out that it was the Third Prince who took action..."

"Madam, you also find it strange, right?" Feng He asked.

Ye Qinghuan nodded: "He is not kind, and has done a lot of things to plunder the people's wealth. How come he suddenly becomes righteous?"

A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind, and Ye Qinghuan's face changed drastically: "Oh no!"

"lady?"

"Gao Yu is forcing Changning Marquisate to take sides! He just lost the support of the Zhao family and is worried that he has no one to rely on. In order to protect Jiang Shiming, Changning Marquisate was dragged into the water by him!"

Ye Qinghuan spoke quickly, his hands unconsciously gripping the hand warmer.

If involved in party disputes, the Changning Marquisate will have only one outcome - destruction!

"Madam, the Ye family may have also been lured over. You'd better find an opportunity to draw a clear line between yourself and the Ye family." Feng He reminded.

Ye Qinghuan took a deep breath: "You are right!"
