After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

After she married into the Fourth Prince's Mansion in her previous life, Marquis Ye married Chen Yinyin as his second wife and wanted to make Ye Shuwen the heir apparent. Her grandfather was worried, so he asked someone to investigate the backgrounds of several people.

Only then did he learn that Lord Ye had already had an affair with Chen Yinyin long before he married his mother. When his mother married Lord Ye, Ye Shuwen was already three years old.

Chen Yinyin was dressed in plain clothes. Although she had already given birth to two children, her figure was still as graceful as a girl.

Her voice was soft and gentle, "Qingyu, my cousin doesn't have any good things, so I'm giving you this bracelet as a gift for meeting you. I hope you don't dislike it."

She took off a green jade bracelet from her wrist and was about to put it on Ye Qingyu's hand as she spoke.

Ye Qingyu pulled her hand back, stopping her movements.

"Qingyu doesn't dare to accept such a valuable gift. Cousin, please take it back." Ye Qingyu said lightly.

Chen Yinyin looked at Lord Ye with some grievance, "Qingyu, do you think this bracelet is not good?"

Lord Ye said with a somewhat unhappy look, "Qingyu, this is a token of your cousin's love, just accept it."

"Yes, Qingyu, although it's not a good thing, it's also a token of your cousin's love."

"Then it would be disrespectful for Qingyu to refuse it." Ye Qingyu asked Wanqiu to accept it on her behalf.

"Since there is nothing else, Qingyu will go back first." Ye Qingyu said goodbye and turned to leave.

After returning to Wanyan Pavilion, Ye Qingyu called Wanqiu.

"What do you want, young lady?"

"Find two maids and have them pretend to accidentally tell Ye Shuwen that I want the white jade Buddha statue from Jinyuxuan as a birthday gift for my grandmother."

"The servant understands."

Wanqiu received the order and went out to do work.

"Miss, the second young lady is here." Nianchun reported.

"Let Qingya come in."

Ye Qingya walked in quickly and said with a look of dismay, "Ye Qingyu, how could you be so spineless? You forgave your uncle just because he gave you some headgear? And you even agreed to let Ye Shuwen stay in the Marquis' Mansion?"

Ye Qingyu smiled slightly and said with a hint of teasing, "I think my second sister really likes the look of those headgear."

Ye Qingya held up her fair little face, looking like she had given up. "I do like it, but as a father, if you hurt your children so much and apologize with such an insincere apology, I won't accept it."

Ye Qingyu sighed slightly, her expression somewhat indifferent. "Since ancient times, there have always been parents who are not wrong. Even if I disagree, so what? This mansion is still under the control of my father and grandmother."

Ye Qingya held up her little face and sighed helplessly.

Yes, even if Ye Qingyu has the support of the Duke's Mansion, as a child, she naturally has no way to resist.

"Then you shouldn't have let Ye Shuwen live in the Marquis' Mansion. You don't know how many connections your uncle had to use to get him out. I've never seen your uncle care so much about you." Ye Qingya felt uncomfortable for Ye Qingyu.

Ye Qingyu's voice was as cold as ice. "It's easier to handle some things if you keep him under your watchful eyes. Do you think that if I don't agree, Father and Grandmother won't take him into the mansion? Ye Shuwen is very precious to them."

Ye Qingya pouted and waved her hands in annoyance, "Forget it, whatever. As long as you can let it go, I'm leaving now."

"Wait, go back and tell my brother that I will handle Ye Shuwen's problem myself, so he doesn't have to worry."

Ye Qingyu was afraid that her eldest cousin would deal with Ye Shuwen for her and anger Lord Ye. She didn't know how much Lord Ye loved Ye Shuwen, as he was his own son.

"Okay, I got it. I'm leaving." Ye Qingya came here to find out about Ye Shuwen. Now that she knew Ye Qingyu was not really stupid, she was no longer worried.

"Do you have anything to do tomorrow?"

Ye Qingya paused and looked back at her in confusion, "It's okay, what are you doing?"

Ye Qingyu smiled slightly, "I'm going to inspect the shop my mother left me tomorrow. Do you want to go with me?" With Ye Qingya accompanying her, she shouldn't be so bored.

Ye Qingya was naturally happy to be able to go out and play, and she agreed with shining eyes.

Not long after Ye Qingya left, Wanqiu came back.

"Miss, it's done. Ye Shuwen already knows about it and has taken people to Jinyuxuan."

"Very good." A hint of coldness flashed in Ye Qingyu's eyes.

Wan Qiu hesitated and said, "Miss, I asked someone to investigate and found out that the item was ordered by Prince Zhuang."

Ye Qingyu raised her lips into a cruel smile, "Yes, it's that little devil's thing."

That white jade Buddha statue was ordered by Prince Zhuang's son Shen Junchen.

The Crown Prince of Zhuang is the number one devil in Kyoto. His father is the younger brother of the current emperor, His Royal Highness the Prince of Zhuang. He and Princess Zhuang have only one son, and he dotes on him like the apple of his eye. What's more, the emperor trusts his only brother very much. He dotes on Shen Junchen more than some other princes. For example, the fourth prince Shen Mingxiu is not as favored by the emperor as Zhuang Junchen.

He was spoiled by so many people, so naturally he became arrogant and domineering, running rampant in Kyoto and no one dared to mess with him.

If Ye Shuwen stole his things...

The next day, he took Mo Shu and Wan Qiu, selected a few guards, and went to the gate to meet Ye Qingya.

From a distance, I could see Ye Yanzhi standing next to Ye Qingya.

Ye Qingya smiled and took Ye Qingyu's arm, "Brother is worried about the two of us going out, so he insisted on coming with us." Ye Qingya pouted a little unhappy. She wanted to go to some special places, but she couldn't go with her brother following her.

"You two are still young, and those shopkeepers are very shrewd. I'll follow you to prevent you from being cheated." Ye Yanzhi explained that as the eldest grandson of the Duke's Mansion, he naturally had to take good care of his younger brothers and sisters. This was his responsibility.

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "With big brother following me, Qingyu is naturally very relieved."

The group got on the carriage and headed towards the shop.

Along the way, Ye Qingyu was looking at the account book in the carriage. Ye Yanzhi was afraid that she didn't understand, so he explained it carefully.

The nearest one is a jewelry shop located on Suzaku Street, the most prosperous street in Kyoto.

Ye Yanzhi first led the two to the teahouse next door to drink tea, and watched the flow of people in the jewelry shop opposite.

They also asked the waiter at the teahouse about the jewelry shop and got the news that it was very profitable. There were many people coming in and out of the shop, many of whom were noble ladies and young ladies they knew in Kyoto.

"Did Qingyu see anything?" Ye Yanzhi asked.

“There’s something wrong with the account book.”

Although the account book does not show that the jewelry shop is in the red, it made a profit of 180 taels last year. This is very problematic and shows that the account book is fake.

By analogy, there were also problems with the accounts of her mother's other shops.
