Zhao Qianxue didn't expect that she would dare to follow her, "Why are you following?"

Shen Mingxiu also raised his eyebrows, with a hint of unconscious pride in his eyes.

Usually, Ye Qingyu was proud of her status as a lady and her admiration for him was very subtle. But today, perhaps stimulated by Zhao Qianxue, she became very proactive.

Shen Mingxiu asked with an understanding look, "Miss Ye, do you have something to ask me?"

"Your Highness has misunderstood. I am just traveling the same way as you."

Shen Mingxiu's expression was clear, but he looked unconvinced.

Zhao Qianxue was so angry at Ye Qingyu that her teeth were itching.

She sneered and said, "Miss Ye, where are you going? Why not let me show you the way?"

"Miss Zhao, you don't have to be polite. I'm going to the same place with you. Don't worry about me. I'll just follow behind you."

Zhao Qianxue wanted to slap Ye Qingyu's indifferent face. "Miss Ye, this is very funny. There are so many roads, why did you insist on taking this one? I'm taking the Fourth Prince to the men's seats. What are you doing there?"

There was anger in Zhao Qianxue's voice. She looked at Ye Qingyu who was calm and composed, and cursed her in her heart for being shameless.

Ye Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled slightly, not taking her anger seriously at all. "Of course I'm going to the men's table. Why is it that I can't walk to the Shangshu Mansion? Miss Zhao, this is how you treat guests in your Shangshu Mansion."

In her previous life, although she became Shen Mingxiu's principal wife as she wished, Zhao Qianxue became his concubine and often made things difficult for her.

Her first child was because she didn't have...

I'm afraid that the tragedy of the Duke's Mansion is also due to her Zhao family.

Thinking of this, a layer of frost appeared in her eyes.

This was the first time that Zhao Qianxue was treated like this by her. Usually, Ye Qingyu was weak and easy to bully, so why was she so sharp-tongued today?

She was about to get angry, but she caught a glimpse of Shen Mingxiu and had to suppress her anger, "You! Miss Ye, you are too kind. There is a way to go. I am just afraid that you will take the wrong way!"

Ye Qingyu, just wait for me!

Shen Mingxiu didn't expect that after not seeing her for some time, Ye Qingyu had become much more powerful.

Seeing that she was so shameless and wanted to accompany him, a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

It seems that his plan is just around the corner.

Arriving at the men's table, Shen Mingxiu said to Zhao Qianxue with a pleasant expression, "Thank you, Miss Zhao, for showing me the way."

He glanced at Ye Qingyu, as if to say, he has arrived and it is time for you to leave.

Ye Qingyu didn't even look at him and walked straight past him.

Shen Mingxiu?

Zhao Qianxue??

What is Ye Qingyu going to do?

Ye Qingyu saw her third cousin Gu Huaizhi at the table from a distance. She walked forward slowly, ignoring the two people's surprise.

Her appearance caused a commotion in the side hall. Gu Huaizhi also looked over and hurriedly stood up when he saw her coming.

"Qingqing, why are you here?"

He glanced at Shen Mingxiu and understood why Ye Qingyu appeared here, and his expression darkened.

"Third cousin, I have something to talk to you about."

"Okay." Gu Huaizhi just thought she was using him as an excuse to see Shen Mingxiu.

He followed Ye Qingyu out of the side hall and came to a deserted place.

Gu Huaizhi sighed helplessly, "Okay, now that you've seen the person, I'll take you back."

Ye Qingyu chuckled silently, "Cousin, I really came to see you. I have something important to tell you."

Gu Huaizhi nodded lovingly in response, "Okay, go ahead and talk, and I'll listen." Gu Huaizhi thought she was just shy and couldn't admit it.

Ye Qingyu was too lazy to argue with him and said directly, "You can't drink a single drop of the wine at the banquet later."

She had no idea how her cousin was drugged in her previous life.

But later I heard from my third aunt that my cousin had a few drinks at the banquet and felt a little drowsy. He was taken to Zhao Qianmei's room without knowing it. When he woke up, he was surrounded in Zhao Qianmei's room.

Because of this plot, my cousin not only lost his bright future, but also lost his best marriage.

He had never been to Zhao Qianmei's room since he got married, but Zhao Qianmei was unwilling to be lonely, so she met with her lover in secret and was discovered by her cousin. They broke one of her cousin's legs, causing him to drown in the pond due to his inconvenience in walking.

"Oh, why?" Gu Huaizhi saw that his little cousin looked very serious and didn't seem to be making excuses.

Ye Qingyu did not hide it and said, "Someone wants to harm you."

Gu Huaizhi's expression changed.

He was about to take part in the imperial examination. There were many people who were jealous of the Duke's Mansion and did not want him to fail. But, how did my little cousin know that someone was going to harm him?

Gu Huaizhi looked solemn, but did not ask any more questions. "I understand. I will pay attention."

After Ye Qingyu informed everyone of the matter, she naturally left.

Gu Huaizhi warned, "You have to be careful too."

Ye Qingyu nodded and left with the ink calligraphy and painting.

Mo Shu and Mo Hua were two maids assigned to her by the Duke for her safety, and both of them were quite skilled.

She brought them both with her today.

"Mo Shu, go keep an eye on Zhao Qianmei."

"Yes."

"Miss, since the young master knows about it, he will naturally be on guard. That person should not be able to succeed."

Ye Qingyu rubbed her brows and said, "I'm afraid they have a trick up their sleeve."

Ye Qingyu was still worried. The withered and depressed look of her third cousin in her previous life was so frightening to her. She would never allow her third cousin to make even the slightest mistake in this life.

Seeing the young lady lowering her head in thought, Mo Hua couldn't help feeling a little distressed.

She didn't know whether what the young lady said was true, but seeing that the young lady was so young and yet was desperately trying to protect her relatives, she understood why the masters of the Duke's Mansion loved her cousin so much.

The banquet had already started when Ye Qingyu returned to the ladies' table.

After eating and drinking, Madam Zhao asked Zhao Qianxue to take the young ladies for a stroll in the garden.

Madam Zhao smiled and said, "You little girls can go and have fun by yourselves. You don't need to accompany us old guys. Qianxue, entertain the young ladies."

Young ladies from various families followed Zhao Qianxue in groups of two or three as they walked towards the garden.

Ye Qingya finally had the chance to get close to Ye Qingyu and asked, "What did you do with the Fourth Prince just now?"

Ye Qingyu explained, "I went to look for my third cousin."

"Guess I believe it?" Ye Qingya rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Ye Qingya carefully considered her words and advised cautiously, "Seriously, that Fourth Prince is not a good man."

The two had a fight over this matter before, and they hadn't spoken to each other for a long time. Now that the relationship has finally eased a little, Ye Qingya didn't want to make things awkward again, but she really didn't want to see Ye Qingyu being deceived by the Fourth Prince.
