Wen Fu glanced at Ye Li, turned around and left quickly.
Zhan Xuan finally poked his head out from under the quilt until she was no longer visible. "You almost suffocated me! You two are really capable! You can't even fool a little girl!"
Ye Li urged: "Boss Xuan, hurry up and leave. If my mother comes here again, I really can't hide you!"
Zhan Xuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Ye Li, I've thought of a way to make your mother change her mind. I'll wait for her to come!"
Ye Li looked at him in disbelief: "Boss Xuan, what exactly do you want to do?"
Zhan Xuan whispered a few words into his ear, and he instantly became excited: "Can it work? Can you really make her give up the idea of forcing me to get married?"
Zhan Xuan patted his chest and assured: "It will definitely work!"
Ye Li obeyed his orders and quickly got busy with Ye Qian.
At this time, Wen Fu had already come to Madam Ye's yard with a hesitant look on her face. She always felt that something was wrong.
After hesitating for a long time, she reached out and knocked on Madam Ye's door.
"Wen Fu? Why are you here so late?" Mrs. Ye welcomed her into the house.
She hesitated and said, "Madam, just now when I went to give the second young master some tranquilizing soup, I found that he and the eldest young master were acting strangely, as if there was someone hiding in the house, but I didn't see it!"
Madam Ye's expression suddenly changed. She knew her two sons too well. There was only one person who could make them unite against the outside world, and that was Zhan Xuan.
Could it be that he is here?
Thinking of this, she quickly put on her cloak and said, "Let's go. I want to see who dares to break into our Duke's Mansion at night!"
The two hurried into the yard, but were choked by a burst of white smoke and started coughing.
Madam Ye covered her nose tightly and shouted, "What's going on? Is there a fire somewhere? Send someone to check around!"
Many maids and nannies dispersed, leaving only her and Wen Fu.
But after a moment, her consciousness became a little dazed.
She suddenly looked up and saw a white shadow slowly floating towards her from a distance.
She was shocked all over. Wasn't that her dead mother-in-law?
How could her soul come back?
It’s clearly not the seventh day yet!
She fell to her knees and kowtowed vigorously, "Mother, why did you come back? Are you dissatisfied with your daughter-in-law's arrangements?"
The figure floated higher and higher, and actually hid directly in a tall tree.
She spoke in a vague voice, "Why do you take the initiative to force Li'er to get married? Didn't I tell you not to force him to do anything? Why don't you listen? You even want to use me as a shackle that he can't break free from?"
Madam Ye argued in panic: "There is no daughter-in-law. Li'er is also willing to get married. This is his own idea and has nothing to do with the daughter-in-law!"
The figure sneered: "It has nothing to do with you? Do you think that if I die, your lies will not be exposed? You are clearly imprisoning him. You said that he should obey my last wishes, otherwise, he would be unfilial!"
Madam Ye burst into tears. She gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I deceived him, so what? Would I let him go and do something shameful? I can't let him bring disgrace to our Duke's Mansion. I do everything for the Duke's Mansion. What could I have done wrong?"
As she finished speaking, silence fell around her.
She raised her eyes in horror and saw Ye Li standing not far away with a sad look on his face.
He sarcastically said, "So, everything is done to preserve the reputation of the Duke's Mansion, including getting married and imprisoning me in the Duke's Mansion!"
At this point, can't Madam Ye realize that these tricks were all done by Ye Li?
She was filled with anger and resentment. She suddenly got up from the ground and slapped him hard on the face, saying, "How can you be so despicable and selfish? Wouldn't it be better for you to stay at the Duke's Mansion, get married, and live out your life there? Why do you have to make such a fuss? I really want to stuff you back into my stomach!"
Ye Li's cheeks swelled up immediately, but he didn't feel any pain.
His ears were filled with only his mother's accusations: "Are you going to destroy the Duke's Mansion? Ye Li, you are a disgrace to the Ye family. You are inhumane in this life. You have no offspring to continue this life. How can you still have the nerve to live?"
He swallowed hard, and after a long moment, he spoke in a hoarse voice, "Mother, thank you for giving me life. I was wrong. I shouldn't have set foot in the Duke's Mansion again. Now that Grandmother is dead, I no longer have any hope of ever returning. I will do as you wish and die in apology!"
Madam Ye's eyes were filled with ferocious hatred. She suddenly pulled out a dagger from her sleeve and threw it in front of him: "Alright, go die, Ye Li. If you dare to die, I will still recognize you as my son. You have brought shame to the Duke's Mansion!"
Ye Li reached out and took the dagger with a sarcastic smile on his face.
There is no greater sorrow than a dead heart. At this moment, he finally understood that his mother hated him so much in her heart.
Just because he is a eunuch?
Or was it the scene where you saw him wearing women's clothes?
No matter what the reason is, he should fulfill her wish.
Then die!
We must return this life to her!
Without further hesitation, he stabbed the dagger into his lower abdomen.
"Puff!" Blood gushed out in an instant.
Zhan Xuan, who was hiding in the shadows, rushed out quickly. He hugged Ye Li tightly and scolded him, "Who allowed you to die? Ye Li, why are you so stupid?"
Ye Li smiled bitterly: "Boss Xuan, I should return my life to her. From now on, there will no longer be a second son named Ye Li in the Duke's Mansion. He is dead!"
Zhan Xuan didn't dare to hesitate, he stood up, picked him up and left quickly.
Without even turning his head, he said to the stunned Madam Ye, "You'd better pray that Ye Li can keep his life. Otherwise, if you force him to death, I will definitely avenge him!"
Madam Ye then broke down and burst into tears: "I didn't mean to kill him. I just wanted to scare him. I never thought I would actually stab myself!"
Ye Qian came out and said, "Mother, you disappoint me so much. Why can't you tolerate Li'er?"
Madam Ye patted her chest and burst into tears: "Who am I doing this for? Am I doing this for myself? Isn't it for the reputation of the Duke's Mansion?"
Ye Qian interrupted without hesitation: "That's enough. It's not enough for you to put yourself in shackles. How many more people do you want to imprison? You married the innocent Wen Fu to Ye Li and made her a widow for the rest of her life, just to maintain that superficial appearance. How can you be so cruel?"
Wen Fu explained anxiously, "Master, please don't blame Madam. I did all this voluntarily. Even though I knew I would be a widow, I was willing to stay by the Second Master's side!"
Ye Qian sneered, "Alright, you two are willing to fight and be beaten. There's no such thing as a Second Young Master now. He's been driven to death by his mother. He stabbed himself in the stomach!"
