The first lady is my aunt, Ms. Xue.

The Hedong Xue family was also an ancient aristocratic family, but it was more low-key than the Langya Wang family and the Chenjun Xie family. In order to avoid the limelight of the Wang and Xie families, the Xue family's descendants rarely served as officials in the court, and most of them focused on business.

The Xue family was very famous south of the Fen River and east of the Yellow River, and was a well-known local tyrant.

In his previous life, the King of Qi kept a close eye on the Ye family. In addition to the Ye family's military power, the Ye family was also related to the Xue family in Hedong.

Throughout history, those who have accomplished things have been inseparable from power and money.

And the Ye family just happens to have them all.

Therefore, the princes in the court tried their best to win over the Ye family, but their grandfather had a stubborn and rigid character and was loyal to the emperor all his life, so the princes were helpless.

But the King of Qi was narrow-minded and wanted to destroy what he couldn't get.

After being rejected by his grandfather, he held a grudge and used insidious means to harm the Ye and Xue families.

And the King of Qi drove a nail into the Ye family.

It’s her elder cousin Ye Chunan.

Cousin Chun'an is the only son of my uncle and aunt, and the most studious person in the entire Ye family. The whole family has placed high hopes on him since he was a child, hoping that he can pass the imperial examinations and wash away the stereotype that the whole family of Ye is rough and uncouth.

Therefore, cousin Chunan has been very well protected since he was a child. He has to do nothing but study, and all the big and small matters in his life are taken care of by his aunt.

From big things like hiring a teacher to find an academy to small things like eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, there were special people to take care of everything. My cousin was never asked to spend any time on anything, and he was never allowed to go to brothels. He was not aware of the sufferings of the world, so my cousin developed a naive character who only knew about the world.

Such people are simply prime fish and are the perfect target for attack.

This time, my cousin has returned from studying abroad.

This was the beginning of King Qi's plan to tear apart the Ye family...

Qing Luan whispered, "Young Master Chun An didn't come back alone this time. He brought back a girl from a brothel. The eldest lady wouldn't let her in, so Young Master Chun An brought her and knelt at the entrance to the general's residence. He even contradicted the eldest lady, who was so angry that she fainted..."

Yan Qing put down the account book and walked out.

And asked: "Does grandma know?"

"The old lady has a fierce temper. If she knew that Master Chun'an brought a prostitute back, she would probably rush out and break his legs. That's why the eldest lady didn't dare to tell the old lady."

"Well, go tell Aunt Fang, don't let Grandma know yet, I'll take care of it."

Qingluan looked at her young lady in surprise.

She knew that the young lady had not been the same since her divorce, but she was always easily provoked when encountering problems and had never been so calm.

Not only calm but also orderly.

It's like no matter what happens, it won't be difficult for her.

Such a lady makes people feel at ease.

"Yes, ma'am."

Qingluan responded and immediately went to inform Nanny Fang.

Yan Qingze, accompanied by the maid from the general's mansion, walked calmly towards the gate.

A moment later, she appeared at the gate.

My eldest aunt had already been carried in, and my second aunt was standing at the door.

Looking at the man kneeling in front of the gate and the crowd gathered in front of the general's mansion to watch the joke, Second Aunt Yang was extremely anxious.

She looked at Ye Chunan and advised: "Chunan, just listen to your mother and settle this girl outside first, it will be the same..."

"Different."

Ye Chunan looked up at the woman beside him, his eyes full of heartache and tenderness: "Yanyan is my savior. I promised to bring her back home and I will definitely bring her back home. I will never let her be ridiculed outside. Second Aunt, can you let Yanyan accompany me in? I beg you!"

As he said this, Ye Chunan immediately kowtowed to Yang.

Yang's face was filled with embarrassment. "Chun'an, it's not that we don't want this girl to enter the mansion, but you've already been engaged to that girl from the Liu family. Miss Liu hasn't even entered the house yet, and you're bringing another woman into the mansion. How...disgraceful?"

"But Yanyan is my savior!"

Ye Chunan looked at Yang with innocent eyes, his face full of confusion. "Second Aunt, our Ye family has always been grateful for kindness. Now my savior is right in front of you. How can you bear to see her kneeling here? Besides, I have already promised Yanyan. Mother always said that a gentleman's promise is worth a thousand gold. But you don't let Yanyan enter the mansion. Why is that?"

"well said!"

Yang was speechless when Yan Qing suddenly stepped forward and applauded, "Brother Yang is indeed the most knowledgeable person in our Ye family. His words are so righteous and insightful that they are truly thought-provoking!"

"cousin!"

Seeing Yan Qing, Ye Chunan's eyes lit up, and he immediately said happily, "Cousin, you understand me. Please ask my mother and Second Aunt to let Yanyan come with me into the mansion."

Yang said anxiously: "Qingqing..."

"Second aunt, please be at ease."

Yan Qing comforted Yang, then looked slowly at the woman kneeling beside Ye Chuntang.

Wei Yanyan, a native of Jiangnan, was sold to a brothel by her father at the age of thirteen. She learned some skills from the brothel's courtesan and can play the piano, dance, and recite poems. She has a pure and charming appearance and is simply the dream lover of all men.

Such a famous prostitute fell in love with her nerdy cousin?

Yan Qing wanted to laugh.

What a savior! He is clearly a deadly enemy.

The beginning of the Ye family’s tragic fate in the previous life was when Wei Yanyan entered the general’s mansion.

At that time, she heard Qingluan say that her eldest cousin had stubbornly gone on a hunger strike at the gate of the general's mansion in order to let Wei Yanyan enter the mansion. In the end, her eldest aunt softened her heart and had to back down, which offended the Liu family.

The Liu family immediately came to cancel the engagement.

The eldest cousin was also bewitched by Wei Yanyan. He even stopped reading books and spent all his time enjoying poetry, wine and women with her. He even got together with the King of Qi.

My uncle was so angry that he wanted to break his legs, but he accidentally hurt my aunt, who became ill and died soon after.

However, the honest and well-behaved cousin suddenly turned against his uncle, became even more uneducated, and even refused to take part in the Spring Examination.

Later, my grandfather died in battle, and my eldest and second uncles also died on the battlefield. The Ye family was falsely accused of treason and collaborating with the enemy, and all the men were beheaded. Only my eldest cousin, who had severed ties with the Ye family, survived under the protection of the King of Qi.

after that……

King Qi failed in his bid for the throne, and Gu Huaizhou ascended the throne. When he was rehabilitating the Ye family, he found out that the letter that caused the Ye family to bear the stigma was the one that Wei Yanyan secretly placed in her grandfather's study.

That Wei Yanyan is the King of Qi's man.

When the truth came to light, my cousin realized that he had been plotted against. He could not accept such a cruel truth, and he hanged himself with his last belt in front of the graves of all the members of the Ye family.

Yan Qing retracted his gaze and looked at Ye Chunan and said, "My eldest cousin is right. The General's Mansion should repay the favor and keep its promise..."

Ye Chuntang immediately took Wei Yanyan's hand with joy and said excitedly: "Yanyan, my mother and Second Aunt listen to my cousin the most. As long as my cousin is willing to speak for me, my mother will definitely accept you. Come on, I will take you into the mansion and show you the place where I lived when I was a child..."
