After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Su's heart skipped a beat, and her face turned pale. Before she could speak, Ye Xuan angrily asked, "I'm asking you, who exactly is Qingzhu's husband now!"

"Master, Wen Jin is still here. Can we talk about this later?"

Su lowered her voice, afraid that things would get out of control if they continued to escalate.

Jiang Wenjin also sensed that something was wrong and looked at Ye Qingzhu and Ye Qingwu with a strange gaze.

In other words, if it weren't for this arranged marriage, the woman who should have married me would have been the legitimate daughter of the Duke's family.

"Humph!"

Ye Xuan flicked his sleeves and strode away.

“Father…!” Ye Qingzhu was quite frightened by the look in Ye Xuan’s eyes when he left. As he left, she strode up to Ye Qingwu and raised her hand to slap her.

"My wife, you mustn't!"

Seeing that Ye Qingzhu was about to make a move, Jiang Wenjin subconsciously stepped forward to try to stop her.

Regardless of the truth behind the marriage exchange, the matter is already settled. The person before us is the Regent's Consort, and their status has long been different.

He also hoped to shine in his official career, but if he offended the regent, his future would be ruined.

With Ye Xuan gone and only the two of them present, Ye Qingzhu didn't even bother to pretend and immediately started scolding Jiang Wenjin.

"What, you're already feeling sorry for her now that you've just found out about the arranged marriage?"

Although he knew that Jiang Wenjin was the future top scholar in the imperial examination and would become the first-rank official, as long as Jiang Wenjin still needed the Duke's mansion, he could manipulate him at will!

"Jiang Wenjin, don't forget that I am your wife now!"

Jiang Wenjin, feeling humiliated by the reprimand, had a flash of displeasure in his eyes, but quickly recovered and said to Ye Qingzhu in a gentle voice, "My lady, please release her first. No matter what, the Regent's Consort is still your sister."

"That's really rude of you."

Ye Qingwu looked at Ye Qingzhu's raised wrist, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.

"Sister, my brother-in-law is right. You should always think carefully about the consequences!"

Ye Qingzhu, who was already burning with anger, almost lost all reason upon hearing Ye Qingwu's words.

"Ye Qingwu, this is not your place to speak!"

"I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Before Ye Qingzhu's hand could even touch Ye Qingwu, a cracking sound of bones could be heard in the air.

As a doctor, Ye Qingwu knew best how to dissect a person's bones without much effort.

The intense pain caused Ye Qingzhu's expression to change drastically. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she roared, "Ye Qingwu, how dare you..."

"Auntie, are you just going to watch her act like this?"

Ye Qingwu looked towards the Su family.

Although Su was dissatisfied with Ye Qingwu's attitude, she also knew that if Ye Qingzhu continued to cause trouble, the marriage exchange would become common knowledge!

"Qingzhu, you're being ridiculous!"

"Mother, this is clearly the work of this despicable person..."

"Qingzhu!" Just as Ye Qingzhu was about to speak, Madam Su quickly interrupted her and subconsciously looked in Jiang Wenjin's direction.

Just then, the butler came over and was stunned by the scene before him.

Upon seeing this, Madam Su quickly stepped forward and asked, "Steward, is there something the master needs to tell you?"

The butler nodded, his gaze simultaneously turning towards Ye Qingzhu and Ye Qingwu.

"Miss, Second Miss, Master requests your presence in the study."

Ye Qingzhu left first, glaring fiercely at Ye Qingwu. So what if the arranged marriage was known? With her father's love for her, he would never do anything about it.

As for that bitch Ye Qingwu, what's the use of being arrogant now? Little does she know that her death is just around the corner!
