When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the light in a room in the Ye Mansion was still on.

Ye Jinyu paced in the room, she was feeling very irritable and uneasy at the moment.

She knew she had gotten into trouble, and she was extremely conflicted about whether or not to tell her father...

But she was also very scared, afraid that her father would not only not help her, but might even scold her.

But she had never expected things to turn out like this... She had originally just wanted Shangguan Yueyin to disappear...

Ever since Shen Lebai helped her, she has always been thinking about him.

However, she learned that he was already engaged to the Shangguan family, and that the marriage was personally arranged by the Empress Dowager.

But she could feel that Shen Lebai had her in his heart, otherwise why would he help her?

But every time she deliberately created an opportunity to find him, he always avoided her and was unwilling to talk to her.

Ye Jinyu felt that all of this was caused by Shangguan Yueyin. If they were not engaged, Shen Lebai would not treat her like this...

But how could the engagement personally granted by the Queen Mother be cancelled?

So Ye Jinyu listened to Princess Jiayin's instigation and thought of making Shangguan Yueyin disappear from this world so that she could be with Shen Lebai legitimately.

Princess Jiayin told her that Shangguan Yueyin would go to Lingquan Temple every month to pray for her mother. After she knew the news, she had been waiting for the day when Shangguan Yueyin would go to Lingquan Temple.

Ye Jinyu bribed the bandits in advance and ambushed Shangguan Yueyin on the way to Lingquan Temple today.

She originally wanted to prevent Shangguan Yueyin from coming back today, but Princess Jiayin asked her not to kill her.

Because she fell into the hands of bandits, Shangguan Yueyin would be ruined even if she came back.

After all, the bandits' methods are extremely despicable. They are originally a group of desperate criminals. As long as someone pays them, they will do anything.

Of course, if such a beautiful lady fell into their hands, she would definitely be ruined.

How could a woman who had been abused by countless men marry into a wealthy family like the Shen family?

Not only the Shen family, even ordinary families would not be willing to marry an unclean woman who had been raped by bandits.

Of course, the purpose of Princess Jiayin doing this is nothing more than to see how good the relationship between Shen Leyan and Shangguan Yueyin is?

If Shen Leyan knew that her best sister was raped by bandits and lost her virginity, would she still be willing and support her to marry her dearest brother?

However, neither of them expected that Shen Lebai would actually accompany Shangguan Yueyin to Lingquan Temple.

How could ordinary bandits be a match for Shen Lebai?

Ye Jinyu thought that Shangguan Yueyin would only bring a few guards and maids with her at most, and never expected that there would be such a group.

Fortunately, there were quite a few bandits there. Even though Shen Lebai had good martial arts skills, he was outnumbered and ultimately lost.

But he took Shangguan Yueyin and hid away, and they still haven't found their whereabouts.

If the Shen family and the Shangguan family knew that the two were missing, they would definitely send people to look for them.

The more Ye Jinyu thought about it, the more scared she became. If this matter got out, not to mention marrying Shen Lebai, even her father might not be able to protect her...

Just then, footsteps were heard outside, and Ye Jinyu trembled with fear.

The door was pushed open, and it was her personal maid Taotao.

Tao Tao hurried in and said palely, "Miss, something bad has happened."

"I just heard from the master that not only did the Shen family send people out, but even the emperor was alarmed and sent a large number of imperial guards out to search."

"what?"

Ye Jinyu felt dizzy and collapsed in the chair.

"How could...how could the emperor interfere in this matter?"

"I don't know either. It's because the Emperor sent out troops and the whole city was under martial law. It seems that there was a lot of commotion, so the master got wind of it."

"I'm afraid this matter will soon be exposed. It's better for you to confess to the master as soon as possible."

"Let the master think of a solution. Otherwise, if the emperor knows the truth, I'm afraid it will be troublesome..."

Ye Jinyu was trembling all over at this moment, and seemed to have just realized how serious the trouble he had caused this time was.

"You...you go find my brother...never mind, I'll go find him myself."

Ye Jinyu couldn't wait to find Ye Jinzhi for help, asking him to find a way to help her...

"What? You said you hired someone to kidnap Shen Lebai and Shangguan Leyin?"

Ye Jinzhi looked at his sister in disbelief as she burst into tears. Although he knew that his sister could be willful and unruly at times, he never expected her to do such a stupid thing.

Ye Jinyu nodded aggrievedly, "Brother, I was just confused for a moment, I already know I was wrong."

"What's the point of knowing you're wrong? Who gave you the courage to do such a thing?"

"You can't blame me entirely for this, brother. It was Princess Jiayin who gave me the idea, which is why I acted like this..."

"Princess Jiayin?"

Ye Jinzhi stroked his brows. He was really overwhelmed at the moment.

He knew that Ye Jinyu couldn't be so bold and presumptuous.

But he never expected that the one who gave her the advice was actually Princess Jiayin...

Ye's father and the eldest princess seemed to have reached some kind of deal recently, so both of them wanted to facilitate his marriage with Princess Jiayin.

Ye Jinzhi of course accepted this with pleasure. After all, marrying a princess was much better than marrying Princess Shang.

If he could really marry Princess Jiayin, he would not only be able to hold military power in the future, but also get the support of the eldest princess.

The eldest princess has only one precious daughter, Princess Jiayin, so of course she will make good plans for the princess, and he will be the biggest beneficiary in the future.

But now these two people have come together to do such a thing. He feels like the sky is falling.

It was the first time that Ye Jinyu saw her brother so angry, so she could only bring Princess Jiayin out.

"After Princess Jiayin knew that I liked Young Master Shen, she came up with this idea for me..."

"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have known that Shangguan Yueyin goes to Lingquan Temple every month."

"Besides, we don't want Shangguan Yueyin's life. We just want to teach her a lesson so that she can't marry Mr. Shen." Ye Jinyu cried bitterly.

"Idiot, can't you wait until Shen Lebai is not around? Why did you take him away with you?"

"I didn't intend to capture Master Shen, and I don't know why he was with Shangguan Yueyin."

"You didn't even find out everything, and you just took action?"

Ye Jinyu was choked by his question. She was busy taking care of the bandits at the time, so how could she have the extra energy to pay attention to those things?

She was afraid that the bandits would just take the money and not do the job, so she kept watching and urging them to set up an ambush quickly. After all, they only cared about money, so how could they have any integrity?
