After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Su clenched her fists and glared angrily at Ye Qingwu. If it weren't for the fact that she still needed this brat right now...

Based on what she just said, she absolutely cannot be let off lightly.

Ye Qingzhu, holding Jiang Wenjin's hand, turned back and glared fiercely at Ye Qingwu before entering the mansion.

On the day of her return visit to her parents' home, her husband, the regent, was not by her side. She wanted to see how long this slut could remain so smug.

"Husband, why did you say those things in front of Ye Qingwu just now?"

Upon entering the mansion, Ye Qingzhu looked displeased and questioned Jiang Wenjin.

“My lady, no matter what, she is still your sister. As the saying goes, harmony in the family brings prosperity, and besides, she is the Regent’s wife.”

Jiang Wen patiently explained to Ye Qingzhu that with the Regent's position in the court and being the Emperor's younger brother, if he could get the Regent's support and have a Duke as his father-in-law as a backer, his future career would surely be smooth sailing.

Ye Qingzhu scoffed at Jiang Wenjin's words, "She's just a useless princess who's about to be buried with him, what's so great about her!"

Jiang Wenjin's expression changed, and he quickly interrupted Ye Qingzhu, asking seriously, "Wife, what do you mean by 'burial with him'? Does that mean the Regent...?"

"Some things can't be said carelessly."

Ye Qingzhu, however, was quite smug. "Just wait and see, we'll find out whether I'm talking nonsense or not!"

Ye Qingwu was about to enter the mansion when Su Shi stopped her.

"What does Aunt mean by this?"

"Qingwu, why didn't the Prince come with you today for his homecoming?"

"I've heard about what happened the day you married into the Prince's mansion. Did you do something to anger the Prince?"

Faced with Su's questioning, Ye Qingwu remained calm and composed.

"I thought that my aunt was more concerned about what would happen if my father found out about the marriage exchange than whether the prince would come with me."

"You brat, how dare you threaten me!" Su's pupils contracted, and she said fiercely.

"It's just facts."

Ye Qingwu ignored Madam Su and walked past her. After entering the mansion, she suddenly stopped, seemingly thinking of something.

“Aunt, stop calling me that brat. I am now the Regent’s Consort.”

Su glared hatefully in Ye Qingwu's direction, her face flushed with anger.

This brat first threatened me, and now she's using her status to pressure me.

“Madam, the eldest young lady… no… the Regent’s wife seems to have changed.” The maidservant beside Madam Su said.

"What if the Duke returns and says something she shouldn't have?"

The maid's words reflected Su's concerns. Now that Qingzhu had married Jiang Wenjin, it was a fact. Rather than waiting for Ye Qingwu to spout nonsense, she might as well add fuel to the fire.

"Go inside and keep an eye on that brat's every move! I'll wait here for the Duke to return!"

Madam Su gave the order to the maid beside her.

Upon entering the mansion, Ye Qingwu did not go to the main hall where Ye Qingzhu and Jiang Wenjin were, but went directly to the courtyard where the original owner had lived.

But to his surprise, as soon as he pushed open the door, he found the room filled with all sorts of odds and ends, with the original owner's belongings scattered all over the floor. This was no place to live; it was clearly a storage room.

This alone shows how miserable the original owner's life was.

She walked past the clutter, but as she passed a corner, she was drawn to a worn-out book.

Ye Qingwu bent down to pick it up, patted off the dust, and was slightly shocked when she saw the contents after flipping through a few pages.

This is... a medical book?
