After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

How could something like this appear in the original owner's residence?

Ye Qingwu flipped through a few pages and found that most of the content was about herbs, without much substantial information.

"Who?"

Just as Ye Qingwu was wondering if she could find more things related to the original owner here, she heard a rustling sound outside.

Someone is approaching...

Ye Qingwu grabbed something and threw it outside. A wail was heard, and a woman dressed as a maid fell to the ground, her face contorted in pain.

"Are you someone who works for your aunt?"

Ye Qingwu narrowed her eyes slightly. She remembered very clearly that this maid was standing behind Madam Su when she entered the mansion.

"No...no...Your Highness, you've mistaken me for someone else."

The maid, who had been recognized, lowered her head and hurriedly asked, "Then tell me why you're here?" Ye Qingwu sneered, "Then tell me why you're here."

"Staring at me?"

"Your Highness, I was just passing by when I heard some noise and came to check. I didn't know you were here."

"Is that so?" Ye Qingwu chuckled, squatting down to meet the maid's gaze. "If I were to bring you before Madam Su, do you think she would protect you?"

"I don't want to repeat myself, and you only have one chance!"

Why have you come here?

The maid trembled with fear at Ye Qingwu's words. "Yes, Madam. Madam said to keep a close eye on you until the Duke returns."

"Your Highness, I was only following orders. Please do not bring me before Madam."

"It's fine if you don't bring it, but what happened to my place? Why is it like this, and why is it piled up with so much stuff?"

"It was Madam who said that Your Highness's original residence not only took up too much space... but was also an eyesore."

It was the Su family again. These people really didn't give the original owner any way out. She couldn't even imagine what kind of tragedy would have happened if it hadn't been her who came.

Seeing the maid pleading for mercy, Ye Qingwu merely glanced at her coldly, turned and left. Calculating the time, her good father should be back by now!

As soon as I entered the main hall, I heard a soft laugh coming from inside.

Su Shi, Ye Qingzhu, and Jiang Wenjin were all here, and her father, Ye Xuan, was sitting in the main seat.

The moment she appeared, the conversation in the main hall came to an abrupt halt.

Ye Xuan's expression darkened slightly as he looked at her with displeasure.

"What time is it? Why are you only arriving now? Do you want everyone to wait for you?"

Ye Qingzhu listened to Ye Xuan's reprimand of Ye Qingwu, her eyes filled with smugness.

"Father, please don't blame my sister. Perhaps something else has kept her up."

"Qingwu, come over here and apologize to your father."

As if afraid that Ye Qingwu might say something wrong at this moment, Su winked at her and spoke.

Ye Qingwu showed no intention of paying attention to Madam Su. She glanced at the people present and said indifferently, "What have I done wrong? I've only been away from the manor for a few days. I don't know how my original residence became a storage room."

"Auntie, I heard this was your order?"

Su's expression changed drastically, and she quickly glanced in Ye Xuan's direction.

"Qingwu, what are you saying? I just felt..."

Before Madam Su could finish speaking, Ye Qingwu continued, "Does Auntie find that place an eyesore?"

Madam Su's expression froze, and she thought to herself that the maid she sent must have said something nonsense!

With Ye Xuan present, Su could only force a smile when facing Ye Qingwu.

"How could that be, Qingwu? It would be too sad for me if you thought that way."

"Ah……"

Ye Qingzhu had long harbored resentment towards Ye Qingwu, and upon hearing her tone, she immediately flew into a rage, "Sister, how could you speak to Mother like that!"

"Since Aunt has chosen to do this, why can't we say anything?"

Ye Qingwu replied, "Besides, this is your mother, not mine!"

"presumptuous!"

Ye Xuan rebuked sharply, "Qingwu, you've really become more and more unruly since you got married!"

"What will people think if this gets out?"

Ye Qingwu showed no fear in the face of Ye Xuan's reprimand.

"Your Excellency, you are only half right. The legitimate daughter of a duke has had her residence used as a storage room just a few days after her marriage."

"Those who don't know the facts will only wonder if this was done on purpose!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Madam Su quickly stepped forward and took the initiative to speak in a humble manner.

"Qingwu, this is all my fault. I didn't think things through."

"If you have any grievances, take them out on me."

Although Ye Xuan was dissatisfied with Ye Qingwu's attitude, he was only surprised for a moment when she called Su Shi Auntie, but he didn't say anything, as if he had tacitly agreed to it.

She turned her disapproving gaze to Jiang Wenjin and said, "Wenjin, are you just going to watch her make a scene like this?"

Jiang Wenjin had not expected these things to happen. When Ye Xuan asked him this question, he quickly cupped his hands and said to Ye Qingzhu, "My wife, you must not be rude in front of your father-in-law."

Seeing that he was about to head towards Ye Qingzhu, Madam Su didn't have time to think and immediately pulled him away.

Ye Xuan looked puzzled, as if he didn't understand why the Su family did this.

This scene seemed absurd and laughable to Ye Qingwu.

She was still thinking about how to stir things up, but now it seems Ye Xuan doesn't know about the arranged marriage, which makes things much more interesting.

Ye Xuan glanced at Ye Qingwu with dissatisfaction, then looked back at Ye Qingzhu.

"Qingzhu, why are you the only one who came today? Where is the Prince?"

“Wang…” Ye Qingzhu was clearly flustered, while Jiang Wenjin stood not far from her with a puzzled look on his face.

Just as Su was about to cover for them, she heard Ye Qingwu sneer.

Ye Xuan's expression darkened further. "What are you laughing at?"

"Your Excellency, I'm afraid you've asked the wrong question. The prince should be my husband."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

“Your husband, Jiang Wenjin, is standing right here!”

"Qingwu, I'm only letting you off the hook today because you're returning to your parents' home. If you continue to spout nonsense, don't blame your father for being ruthless!"

"Yes, sister!" Ye Qingzhu stepped forward quickly, lowered her voice, and tried to threaten, "There are some things you can't say carelessly!"

As Ye Qingzhu and Su Shi approached her from the left and right, their words and gazes were full of threat.

Ye Qingwu simply sighed softly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes; this was the moment she had been waiting for.

"It seems that the Duke is unaware of the marriage exchange, which is understandable."

"A marriage exchange?" Ye Xuan suddenly stood up and asked incredulously.

"Who's exchanging brides? When did this happen?!"

"Does the Duke still not understand?"

Madam Su panicked immediately. She never expected that Ye Qingwu, that brat, would dare to reveal the truth in front of Ye Xuan.

“Master, Qingwu already had grievances about this matter, and what she said…” Ye Xuan had already suspected something when he saw Jiang Wenjin standing next to Ye Qingzhu with an intimate attitude. Now, with Su’s actions and Ye Qingwu’s words…

His heart sank, and he angrily interrupted Su Shi.

"shut up!"
