Because he was concerned about the fetus in the princess' belly, Ye Wenbo gently embraced Princess Pingle in his arms, suppressing the throbbing in his heart, his heart full of tenderness.

He did not notice that Princess Pingle in his arms was looking annoyed. She had conceived this child in the first place just to completely control Ye Wenbo.

But now, she felt extremely disgusted with the child in her belly.

If it weren't for him, I would have become a laughing stock.

Princess Pingle became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it. She felt that her life was ruined by this child.

She was originally a high and mighty princess, loved and admired by everyone.

But now, because of this child, he has lost his title, been despised by His Majesty, and become a laughing stock of everyone.

Maybe, I really shouldn't have gone to so much trouble to get pregnant...

......

Ye Xiaoxiao naturally had no idea what Princess Pingle was thinking.

Now, she was just waiting for Madam Ye's nightmare pill to take effect.

These days, she had been living too comfortably that she almost forgot the purpose of coming to Beijing. Apart from Princess Pingle, her scumbag father was also her main target!

Today, her step-grandmother came to Beijing. How could she, as her granddaughter, not express her gratitude?

The nightmare pill will take effect once you fall asleep, trapping you in a nightmare and making you terrified.

If this continues, I'm afraid that Old Madam Ye will gradually be consumed by fear.

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the nightmare pill in her hand, a cunning look flashing in her eyes.

This is the first gift she gave to her scumbag father and grandmother. She hopes they will not disappoint her expectations.

After Old Madam Ye moved into the Ye Mansion, she was initially delighted to be in charge of the housekeeper's power and fantasized about the glory that would follow the princess after she moved into the mansion.

However, from the first night she entered the mansion, she began to have frequent nightmares.

Whenever night fell, she felt as if she was trapped in endless terror as soon as she fell asleep.

In her dreams, she always saw all kinds of terrible scenes. Sometimes, evil spirits with hideous faces pounced on her, and sometimes, the Ye family was ransacked and she and her son were displaced.

It would be fine if it happened once, but it happens every night.

Sometimes, she even dreamed that her son was implicated by the princess and was beheaded together with her.

Sometimes she was thrown into jail.

Every time Mrs. Ye woke up from a nightmare, she was so scared that she trembled all over and sweated profusely.

She began to wonder if she was possessed by some evil spirit.

She sought out various Taoist priests and monks to perform rituals to exorcise the evil spirit, but to no avail.

Mrs. Ye's mental state became worse and worse. She became anxious and her temper became more and more irritable.

Ye Wenbo was very worried when he saw his mother in such a state.

Alas, when he came back from the outskirts of the capital that day, he learned that his mother had sold half of the servants in the mansion and even reduced the monthly salary by half. He was furious at the time.

Seeing that his wedding date with the princess was approaching, the mansion was beginning to get busy. His mother sold the servants at this time. If there was any mistake in the marriage, given the princess's temper, she would not let it go.

But his mother insisted on her own way and sold the child, and there was nothing he could do.

I could only comfort myself that my mother had good intentions, and she was frugal when I was young. If I had listened to her, I might have been able to save a lot.

Therefore, from that day on, Ye Wenbo clearly felt that the food in the mansion was not as delicious as before, the flowers and plants in the yard had lost their usual freshness, and even his personal servant, Ye Quan, was arranged by his mother to do this and that, and was so busy that he could not take care of himself.

But before he could have a reaction, his mother's health deteriorated day by day.

As Madam Ye's nightmares became more frequent, her body gradually collapsed.

She felt listless all day, had no appetite, and even began to have hallucinations.

She was convinced that there were unclean things in the mansion, and all day long she either asked Taoist priests to cast spells or hired shamans to perform rituals, making the entire mansion full of smoke and foul smells.

Ye Wenbo felt sorry for his mother at first, but as time went on, he couldn't help but feel resentful.

My mother's daily medical treatment and medicine expenses, plus the money spent on hiring those Taoist priests, are probably enough to cover the family's expenses for a month.

He is really having a headache now. He has tried to comfort his mother before.

But as soon as you open your mouth, you are accused of being unfilial.

However, within a few days, some rumors gradually spread in the capital, saying that the old lady of the Ye Mansion suspected that Princess Pingle's horoscope was not compatible with her.

I heard that someone was specially invited to go and see it.

As soon as this rumor came out, it immediately caused a lot of discussion among the public.

Some people say that Madam Ye is too superstitious and is still obsessed with the theory of eight characters at this time.

Some people also said that Princess Pingle had lost her title and was disliked by His Majesty. Maybe it was really because of her bad luck that she brought trouble to the Ye family.

Some people also speculated that Madam Ye was deliberately making excuses to embarrass Princess Pingle.

Ye Wenbo became even more annoyed when he heard these rumors.

He knew that his mother had been in a bad mental state ever since she had the nightmare, and now that such rumors were spreading, it would only make the Ye family's situation even more difficult.

"Mother, please stop believing those rumors. The capital is not like Jiangnan. If the princess hears about this, she will definitely be unhappy. We should find a way to solve the current predicament instead of dwelling on these imaginary things."

Ye Wenbo said helplessly.

Old Madam Ye refused to listen. She stubbornly believed that her nightmare was caused by the fact that Princess Pingle's horoscope was incompatible with hers.

"Wenbo, you don't understand. There must be a reason for my nightmares every night. I have consulted so many Taoist priests and monks, but it's useless. Maybe it's the princess's horoscope that's causing trouble."

Ye Wenbo frowned and said, "Mother, this is an unfounded guess. The princess is pregnant now, we can't keep going like this, otherwise it will affect the princess and the child."

Old Madam Ye disagreed. She had heard that the princess must not be innocent since she could commit adultery before marriage.

"Humph, we still don't know if that child is from our Ye family."

Ye Wenbo was furious after hearing what his mother said.

"Mother, how can you say such a thing? The princess is sincere to me, you can't doubt her like this."

Seeing that her son was angry, Mrs. Ye didn't dare to say anything more.

But his dissatisfaction with Princess Pingle grew deeper and deeper.

The Princess Pingle in the dream was not pregnant with the Ye family's child at all. She had someone calculate it and it was true that the princess and her son were incompatible.

Because of what happened in her dream, she is now extremely dissatisfied with Princess Pingle.

She has incurred His Majesty's dislike, lost her title of princess, and caused her son to lose his official position. How could she be happy?

How much I looked forward to my son's marriage to the princess before, how much I hate it now!

Princess Pingle naturally also heard these rumors, and she was even more angry.

"Damn you, old woman, you really don't know what's good for you. You actually dared to frame me. Is Ye Wenbo dead? You actually let his mother do whatever she wants."

Lin Ke knelt trembling on the bluestone floor, motionless, allowing the princess to vent her dissatisfaction.

"Go and call Ye Wenbo to me. I want to ask him if he can control his mother?" Princess Pingle said angrily.

When Lin Ke heard the princess mention Ye Wenbo, his whole body froze. After a moment of silence, he nodded in agreement, stood up and left.

He really didn't understand why the princess would bother spending so much time on such a man.

He was obviously the closest person to the princess, but he could do nothing.
