After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

"Your Highness, it seems that Young Master Ye is about to pass away."

Although the guards were angry at Ye Yuanfeng's behavior, they also understood that this man was, after all, a member of the Duke's mansion, and if something happened to him, it would be detrimental to Ye Qingwu.

Ye Qingwu gave a soft "hmm," and said, "Go ask him if he made a mistake."

"Yes." The guard quickly approached Ye Yuanfeng and asked loudly, "Second Young Master Ye, did my princess ask you a question that was wrong?"

"She's the one who's wrong, what did I do wrong?"

The guard approached Ye Qingwu and said, "Your Highness, Young Master Ye said he was right."

Ye Qingwu nodded thoughtfully, "It seems that Young Master Ye has not yet realized it, then let's add another hour."

Ye Yuanfeng felt like he was about to die. When he heard that it would take another hour, his chapped lips opened and closed.

The guard rushed over again, "Young Master Ye, why are you doing this?"

Is their princess someone to be trifled with?

"You...you...you just tell him I was wrong, okay?"

Ye Yuanfeng knew that Ye Qingwu was deliberately torturing him, but now that he was in her hands, he was completely unable to move.

If this continues, he'll lose his life here.

"Your Highness, Young Master Ye knows he was wrong."

Ye Qingwu walked up to Ye Yuanfeng and patted him on the shoulder. The next second, a loud bang was heard.

Having regained his mobility, Ye Yuanfeng was already exhausted after being exposed to the scorching sun and collapsed to the ground.

"Your Highness, it seems that Young Master Ye has fainted."

"Not urgent."

She had somehow acquired a silver needle in her hand; she had plenty of ways to deal with this level of unconsciousness.

Just one silver needle was inserted, and another scream was heard.

"what!"

Ye Yuanfeng, who was unconscious, suddenly sat up. He felt like his bones were about to break, yet he was surprisingly energetic.

The physical pain and mental excitement tormented him.

The guards were dumbfounded by what they saw, and their eyes were filled with nothing but admiration when they looked at Ye Qingwu.

The princess is truly amazing!

"Ye Qingwu, what exactly do you want to do!"

Ye Qingwu blinked. "Didn't you come looking for me? Why are you asking me?"

"By the way, what did you say I was going to do?"

Ye Yuanfeng was completely exhausted and afraid that Ye Qingwu would use the same trick she had just used against him.

This happens to be the Regent's Palace, and these people are on Ye Qingwu's side, so they obviously won't help him.

"Ye Qingwu, how vicious you are, does the Regent know?"

"Whether he knows or not is not important. What is important is that Ye Yuanfeng had better be careful next time he sees me."

The smile in Ye Qingwu's eyes didn't reach her eyes. "Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences."

"There's something I've never been able to figure out."

Is there any hatred between us?

"what?"

Ye Yuanfeng's eyes widened. "You've done this to me, and you still dare to say such things?"

"Isn't this the same method you used to punish people before?" Ye Qingwu retorted.

She hadn't forgotten that every time Ye Qingzhu framed the original owner and instigated Ye Yuanfeng, Ye Yuanfeng would use his second brother's name to make the original owner kneel on the ground, regardless of the scorching sun or torrential rain.

They completely disregarded whether the original owner lived or died.

For that ridiculous sense of family, the original owner almost lost his life.

Ugh……

Ye Qingwu let out a long sigh, whether it was a lament from the depths of her soul or a realization of the truth behind the book.

It is also a lament for the original owner's fate.

"Ye Yuanfeng, I'm just treating you the way you treat me, so what? You can't even stand it for a few hours?"

Perhaps because of what had just happened, Ye Yuanfeng didn't dare to act like that again, and just guiltily looked away.

"Those are things of the past, why are you bringing them up?"

That's for you.

"So, all of this is your revenge!"

Ye Yuanfeng questioned Ye Qingwu.

Ye Qingwu did not answer, but simply raised her hand and said, "Please ask him to leave."

"As ordered."

After the guard responded, his gaze toward Ye Yuanfeng was full of disdain.

Fortunately, the princess was kind-hearted and let this second young master leave with just that.

After dealing with Ye Yuanfeng, Ye Qingwu was about to go back when she turned around and saw someone standing there.

Zhan Sijing.

She walked closer to him and asked, "Did you see what happened just now?"

Zhan Sijing nodded, leaning down, his beautiful eyes reflecting her figure.

Why didn't you tell me about this?

"It's just a small matter, not worth mentioning."

Ye Qingwu replied that Ye Yuanfeng was only good at talking and enjoying himself.

Compared to the people in the Duke's mansion, nothing was more important to her than treating Zhan Sijing.

Just as she was about to speak, she was pulled into a tight embrace.

Zhan Sijing held her, watching the scene just now and hearing her nonchalant words, feeling heartbroken.

She always seemed to be like this, even in the Duke's mansion, despite suffering so much injustice, she could still remain so calm and composed.

If only he had met her sooner.

“This is no small matter for me.”

"Ye Qingwu, I want you to know that I am not just a figurehead."

"understood."

Seeing Zhan Sijing looking at her with such a serious expression, Ye Qingwu felt a little uncomfortable.

At least she didn't dislike Zhan Sijing.

Ye Yuanfeng was almost exhausted when he returned to the Duke's mansion, but he was able to stand up perfectly fine.

This must be the effect of Ye Qingwu's silver needle.

"Second Young Master, what's wrong?"

The servants who rushed over saw that Ye Yuanfeng's face was frighteningly pale, yet he was standing there perfectly fine. They were unsure what had happened and cautiously inquired.

"Doctor, quickly go and find a doctor for me!"

Ye Yuanfeng said angrily.

Upon receiving news of Ye Yuanfeng's return, Ye Qingzhu rushed over and witnessed the scene before her.

She asked tentatively, "Second brother, are you alright?"

Ye Qingzhu looked around again, but didn't see Ye Qingwu besides him.

Why didn't that bitch come back with us?

Are they not even listening to Ye Yuanfeng anymore?

Ye Yuanfeng dared not reveal what had happened in the Prince's mansion, and not wanting to lose face, he could only say to Ye Qingzhu, "Don't worry, Sister Qingzhu, I have already taught Ye Qingwu a good lesson for you."

"Really?"

Looking at Ye Yuanfeng like this, Ye Qingzhu clearly didn't quite believe what he said.

He looked more like he'd been reprimanded by Ye Qingwu.

Ye Qingzhu had just taken a step forward when she saw Ye Yuanfeng's body go limp and fall towards her.

"Ah!" Ye Qingzhu screamed in fright at the sudden fall and yelled at the maids beside her, "Quickly pull him away!"

"Second Miss, what's wrong with the Second Young Master?"

Although Ye Qingzhu was already married, Jiang Wenjin's status as a scholar was really awkward. For the sake of appearances, Ye Qingzhu still had the servants call her by her original title when they were in the mansion.

Seeing Ye Yuanfeng being helped away, Ye Qingzhu was filled with disgust. "Who knows?"

"I thought he could teach Ye Qingwu a lesson, but now he's just a piece of trash!"
