After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

"What's so strange about that?" Ye Qingzhu said dismissively. For Ye Yuanfeng, being confined to his home was commonplace and nothing out of the ordinary.

Before, Ye Qingwu would help him take the punishment, but now that his status has changed, he's not so lucky anymore.

Thinking of her identity, Ye Qingzhu felt angry. According to the trajectory of her previous life, Ye Qingwu would have already been buried with the Regent at this time.

But then, in a second chance, the Regent not only didn't die, but was alive and well, allowing Ye Qingwu to gain the title of Regent's Consort for nothing, and to be arrogant and haughty every day.

Although Jiang Wenjin is the future prime minister, she is currently unremarkable, which means that she has to bow and scrape every time she sees Ye Qingwu.

Fortunately, this wretched woman severed ties with the Duke's mansion, otherwise she would frequently return, and every time I saw her, I felt uneasy!

"Second Miss, this confinement is different from the previous ones. I heard from other people in the manor that it seems to be related to the Princess."

"Your Highness?" Ye Qingzhu was taken aback, and asked hesitantly, "Are you talking about Ye Qingwu?"

“That’s right.” Chun’er nodded. “I also heard that the Second Young Master claimed that he went to the gambling den because the Regent’s Consort had used evil magic on him.”

"However, it's true that the young ladies of the past seem to have become completely different people after they get married, both in terms of their personality and their way of doing things."

Even from a distance, it exudes an aura that commands respect and is not to be trifled with.

"He's a different person..."

Ye Qingzhu was startled, and inexplicably thought of the days she was trapped in the Regent's Palace.

The sudden appearance of black mist, and the words Ye Qingwu spoke, were clearly not words that the Ye Qingwu of the past could have uttered. Could it be that she, like me, had also been reborn?

Otherwise, how could she have resolved the situation so quickly and even treated the Regent? Ye Qingwu must have discovered some secret formula in her previous life.

That's how I seized the initiative and got ahead of her. Everything that happened afterward was just me fooling myself.

That bitch is truly despicable. In her previous life, she only lived for seven days before being sent to be buried alive with the emperor. But Ye Qingwu, on the other hand, was able to live a stable life, becoming not only the wife of the Grand Secretary but also being granted the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady by the emperor.

She absolutely could not let this go; she was determined to make Ye Qingwu taste the pain she had experienced in her previous life.

No, she had to confirm whether Ye Qingwu had indeed been reborn in the same way.

Where is Jiang Wenjin?

Ye Qingzhu wandered around the house and asked one of the servants there.

"My son-in-law said he went to visit the Prime Minister today, and he just left not long ago."

Ye Qingzhu snorted coldly, "What visit? All you ever do is spout useless nonsense."

"Let's go, let's go to the Regent's Palace now."

"Ah?" Chun'er was startled by Ye Qingzhu's words. She used to be Su's person in the Duke's Mansion, so she naturally understood that the Regent's Consort and the Duke's Mansion had no relationship for a long time.

Besides, the Second Miss and the Princess Consort don't get along. Going to the Regent's Palace at this time, even if you get in, you won't get any benefits.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and follow us."

Seeing Chun'er still standing there, Ye Qingzhu said impatiently, "Since she has already told that bitch Ye Qingwu about her rebirth..."

There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just asking for an answer. Does Ye Qingwu dare to take advantage of her status as a princess to do anything to her?

The Regent's Palace.

"Your Highness, the Prime Minister and that Young Master Jiang have arrived."

Leng Feng's report came from outside the courtyard. Ye Qingwu was puzzled and walked outside. "Did they say what it was about?"

"The Prime Minister wants to obtain a prescription to recuperate the young master's health. As for Jiang Wenjin, he should have come along with him."

"Where is the prince?"

If it were Prime Minister Shen coming to visit, he should have met Zhan Sijing first. Why was it Leng Feng who came to report this?

"The prince went to the palace an hour ago."

"Very well, please invite Prime Minister Shen to the main hall. I will write down the prescription first and then come over."

Ye Qingwu said to the cold wind.

"Yes."

Watching Leng Feng's departing figure, Ye Qingwu couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Leng Feng was Zhan Sijing's bodyguard, and when Zhan Sijing left the palace to enter the palace, Leng Feng should have followed to protect him.

But why is he still staying in the Prince's mansion, and given the current situation, he's practically become her bodyguard?

However, Zhan Sijing's internal cold shadow poison has stabilized, and after eating the fruit in the space, his physical condition has obviously improved. Even if he enters the palace, there is nothing to worry about.

As for Jiang Wenjin, he's quite remarkable that he managed to get on Shen Xiangguo's good side so quickly after what happened last time.

She didn't care about Jiang Wenjin's affairs. As long as these people didn't provoke her, she didn't want to pay any more attention to them.

After writing down the prescription, Ye Qingwu headed towards the main hall.

In the main hall.

Jiang Wenjin looked at the guards around him. He had only been able to enter that day because Ye Qingzhu had been suddenly taken away, and he hadn't had time to take a closer look.

Now, having come here with Prime Minister Shen, I am truly awestruck by everything around me.

I used to think that the Duke's Mansion was already quite grand, but compared to the Regent's Mansion, it was far inferior.

If he could gain the favor of His Highness the Regent, why would he need to rack his brains to befriend those powerful and influential people? He could even rise to prominence with just a word from the Regent and live a life of ease where everything is done for him.

Although Ye Qingzhu bought a house, which temporarily improved his life, he would take his anger out on the people around him whenever he encountered something unpleasant, including himself.

Jiang Wen clenched his fists, a hidden anger rising within him about these things.

Once he gains power, he will surely make these people understand the consequences of their actions.

"Wenjin, I've heard that your wife is the Regent's sister?"

Jiang Wenjin's visits over the past few days, coupled with his genuine talent for reading and his gentle demeanor, left Shen Xiangguo with a good impression of him.

Jiang Wenjin couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard this. Did Prime Minister Shen find out something, or did Ye Qingzhu cause some trouble?

He looked in the direction of Prime Minister Shen and asked cautiously, "Is that so?"

"Your Excellency, is there a problem?"

"No." Prime Minister Shen stroked his beard and said with a smile, "I was just asking casually."

"To be honest, I was able to reunite with my wife and children thanks to the Regent's wife's advice."

"She also saved Ran'er's life."

"This Regent's wife is truly an extraordinary woman," Prime Minister Shen said, his tone full of praise when mentioning Ye Qingwu.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wenjin suddenly understood why Shen Xiangguo, who had always preferred tranquility, had agreed to the request for a visit and even gifted him some of his treasured rare books.

It turns out that all of this is because he is now the son-in-law of the Duke's mansion, while the Regent's wife, Ye Qingwu, was once the legitimate daughter of the Duke's mansion.

This Prime Minister Shen probably treats me differently because of this relationship.
