After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Ye Qingyu looked at Xia Wanyue coldly, "Miss Xia, you colluded with the bandits to plot against my fourth cousin, and then pretended to save him in order to become his savior and make him marry you.

In order to marry you, he was willing to break off the engagement and leave the Duke's Mansion, take you back to your hometown, marry you, and protect you for the rest of your life.

Now, since you say that it was just his own words and you have never been moved by him, let's pretend that nothing happened. You go with your Mr. He, and my fourth cousin will return to his Duke's Mansion to fulfill his engagement."

Gu Yuanchen stared at Xia Wanyue intently. It was she who planned his assassination! "Xia Wanyue, what my cousin said is true!"

Xia Wanyue frantically defended herself, "You, don't talk nonsense, I don't know what you're talking about, I didn't do that! Brother Chen, I didn't do that, I just saved you by chance!"

Ye Qingyu sneered, "It doesn't matter whether Miss Xia admits it or not. Grandfather has already brought back the witnesses and evidence. Now that you and Fourth Cousin have nothing to owe each other, we will not pursue the matter any further."

Ye Qingyu looked at He Rui with cold eyes, not smiling, "Mr. He, take your woman and go."

He Rui's hair stood on end when Ye Qingyu looked at him. He understood what kind of person Xia Wanyue was and regretted having anything to do with her.

He glanced at Xia Wanyue with disgust, turned and left.

Xia Wanyue, with pitiful tears still in her eyes, looked at Gu Yuanchen, "Brother Chen, I..."

Ye Qingyu stood in front of Gu Yuanchen, blocking her view, "Ms. Xia, you and Fourth Cousin are done with each other, please leave."

Xia Wanyue saw that Gu Yuanchen tilted his head and didn't look at her. She knew that she had made him angry, and now she could only catch He Rui. She turned around and hurriedly caught up with He Rui.

The farce ended and the people couldn't help but shake their heads.

"That woman is truly shameless. She has exposed her true nature, yet she still wants Mr. Gu's pity.

"Hmph, vixen! Only because Fourth Young Master Gu is innocent and infatuated, and the Duke's Mansion is tolerant and generous, if it were me, I would definitely send her to prison.

Okay, let’s go, let’s go. I have to tell my son to stay away from beautiful women. Beautiful women are all bad women!

What nonsense are you talking about? Isn't Miss Ye beautiful? She's kind and generous. Don't generalize."

The crowd dispersed with a chatter of chatter.

Ye Qingyu sighed softly and walked to Gu Yuanchen, "Fourth cousin, get in the carriage, I'll take you home."

Gu Yuanchen lowered his head and murmured, "How can I have the face to go back?"

"Fourth brother."

Gu Yuanchen looked up suddenly.

In the warm morning sun, his third brother, second aunt, third aunt, and grandfather were standing not far away. The sunlight shone on them, golden and gentle, making his eyes sore.

"Fourth brother, go home."

"Third brother, I..."

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get home." Gu Huaizhi patted his shoulder.

Gu Huaizhi looked at Ye Qingyu, and she smiled, "Third cousin, I won't go."

She walked up to the Duke and said softly, "Grandfather, you must stop being so rude to our fourth cousin. He's been deceived and it's quite pitiful. Please talk to him nicely."

The Duke agreed reluctantly.

"Qingqing, aren't you going back home with Grandpa?"

"Grandpa, I still need to catch up on some sleep, so I won't go."

After seeing off everyone from the Duke's Mansion, Ye Qingyu went back to Wanyan Pavilion to catch up on her sleep.

After a short nap for an hour, it was just time for lunch.

"Miss, Uncle Fu is here."

"Please."

"I've seen Miss."

Ye Qingyu chuckled, "Uncle Fu, please stand up."

"Miss, the storage of grain and fodder you ordered is almost complete, and the 100,000 taels of silver you gave me has been used up."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Uncle Fu. I still have a hundred thousand or twenty thousand silver coins here, so keep hoarding them."

Uncle Fu took the banknote and said, "Miss, you still need to stockpile. We already have two warehouses full of old grain. The rice seedlings in the fields have been planted, and the new grain will be harvested in a few months. How will we sell this old grain then? Besides, why are you stockpiling fodder? Are you going to raise livestock?"

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, would you believe me if I said there would be no new grain this year?"

Ye Qingyu smiled slightly at Uncle Fu, who was actually a little shaken by the look on his face. Could this be true? Could the young lady still predict it?

"Uncle Fu, please exchange these 100,000 taels of silver for food and fodder as quickly as possible. This must be completed within ten days. Half of the food and fodder must be shipped to Yanzhou for storage."

Uncle Fu wrinkled his face. Miss Yanzhou? Where is the grain going to be transported to? It’s almost at the border.

Uncle Fu walked out, full of doubts.

Ye Qingyu looked at the clear blue sky outside and couldn't help but sigh deeply. With such good weather, who could have thought that in half a month, there would be heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River, which would last for more than ten days. The weather suddenly turned cold, as if it had entered a cold winter. The newly grown crops were frozen to death. Snow disasters occurred in many places in the north, and countless people were frozen to death or starved to death.

Especially in the heart of Jiangnan, where the temperature has not been so low for many years, the people have not even prepared cotton clothes to keep warm. The weather suddenly seems like entering the ice and snow world of the north, which is something they cannot bear.

……

Today is the day when the Princess's Mansion holds a flower-viewing banquet. Xu took Ye Qingyu to the Duke's Mansion a day in advance, fearing that she would not go.

Ye Qingyu was helpless. She didn't want to attend at first. She thought about her previous life. It was at this flower-viewing banquet that her second aunt chose Ye Qingya and betrothed her to the second son of Cao, the Minister of War, which caused Ye Qingya to suffer for the rest of her life.

In this life, since she knew that the Cao family was not a good family, she naturally wanted to stop Qingya from marrying into the Cao family again and suffering torture.

When Ye Qingyu and Xu arrived at the Princess's Mansion, it was crowded with people. Only Princess Yongjia was there to greet the guests at the door.

"I've met the princess."

Princess Yongjia smiled and said, "Madam, Miss Ye, welcome. Please come in. Mother has been waiting in the hall for a long time."

The two followed a maid to the flower hall where the princess's mansion was used to receive guests.

Ye Qingya and Second Aunt had already arrived. When they saw Ye Qingyu, they hurriedly stood up and walked over.

"Greetings, Third Madam." After Ye Qingya finished her greetings, she pulled Ye Qingyu's sleeve and tugged at it.

Ye Qingyu understood and said to Xu, "Third aunt, let's go sit with Second Aunt."

Xu nodded.

Flower-viewing banquets are generally not that formal. Regardless of rank, ladies and young ladies will find people they are familiar with and sit together to appreciate the flowers together.

As soon as they sat down, Ye Qingya complained to Ye Qingyu in a low voice, "My mother insisted on dragging me here, saying that she wanted to see me. Alas, why do you have to get married when you grow up?"

Ye Qingyu smiled and comforted him, "If you don't want to get married, tell your uncle and aunt. They won't force you."

Ye Qingya shook her head. "I can't let them support me for the rest of my life, and then people will gossip about me. I don't want my parents to be talked about. I just feel uncomfortable for a while. Everyone gets married, so why should I be the exception?"
