After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

"She also said she knew some things that would happen in the future."

Su's tone was full of pride; it was only her daughter who possessed this special ability.

Ye Yuanfeng was completely bewildered by these words. "Mother, you said that Sister Qingzhu can know about the future? That... is unlikely."

"What's the big deal?" Madam Su replied arrogantly, then smiled and said to Ye Xuan, "Master, if you don't believe me, call Qingzhu here, and you will know what happened."

Although Ye Xuan was shocked by Su's words, she had indeed accurately predicted the curse. In addition, given that it concerned the safety of the Duke's mansion, Ye Xuan had no choice but to agree to Su's proposal.

Ye Qingzhu had just bought the house and was about to buy some other items when Jiang Wenjin, who was standing to the side, seemed to be preoccupied with something.

The things Ye Qingzhu bought, including the house, totaled nearly ten thousand taels of silver, but Ye Qingzhu showed no signs of stopping.

Thinking of his mother, who was still suffering in his small village in the countryside, Jiang Wenjin felt a pang of sadness.

I wish I could have all this money.

Ye Qingzhu was buying with great enthusiasm when she saw Jiang Wen standing there motionless, and her expression instantly darkened.

"Don't stand there, we need to go to the next place."

"My wife, I think we've said enough. Why don't we go back today?"

"Go back?" Ye Qingzhu snorted coldly, completely denying Jiang Wenjin's words.

"I still have so many things to buy, how can I go back now?"

"I just feel that I've already spent a lot of money today, and if this continues..."

Before Jiang Wenjin could finish speaking, Ye Qingzhu immediately became angry.

“Jiang Wenjin, this money is part of my dowry. I’m spending my own money, so why are you so upset?”

Ye Qingzhu said angrily, especially the way Jiang Wenjin looked at her, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Let me tell you, I am, after all, the daughter of the Duke's mansion. I didn't marry you to live a life of hardship."

If it weren't for her past life experiences, she would have definitely fallen for a poor, uneducated scholar.

Seeing that Jiang Wenjin remained silent, Ye Qingzhu had no choice but to give up. After all, this man was the future Grand Secretary, and she still needed him to obtain the title of First-Rank Imperial Lady.

Thinking of this, Ye Qingzhu took Jiang Wenjin's arm and said, "Husband, I did this for your own good."

“Your future is limitless, how can you just live in that small courtyard?”

"Besides, this is also what my parents wanted."

Upon hearing that the matter was related to the Duke's mansion, Jiang Wenjin forgot his earlier anger.

With the scientific expedition imminent, aside from his own abilities, if Ye Xuan could put in a good word for him, there would certainly be no surprises.

He had heard about giving gifts to officials when he was in school, but how could those officials compare to the Duke's mansion?

Moreover, after those people learned that he was the son-in-law of the Duke of Ye, they looked at him with fawning eyes, unlike their previous disdain.

This is why he remained silent after learning about the arranged marriage and was able to keep his composure even when facing Ye Qingzhu's reprimand.

His current situation is indeed inseparable from the Duke's Mansion.

After buying some more things, Ye Qingzhu finally agreed to go back with Jiang Wenjin.

They had only just arrived when they saw the guards.

"Who are you?"

"Ye Qingwu, I have been ordered by the Emperor to request that you go to the Regent's Palace."

……

When Ye Qingwu and Zhan Sijing returned to the palace, they heard a commotion coming from not far away.

"Why did you bring me to this place? Let me go!"

Ye Qingwu paused, the voice sounding so familiar. After taking a few more steps, she saw five or six guards standing there, their attire suggesting they weren't from the Regent's Palace.

They seemed to be sent from the palace. On the other side of the guards, Granny Chang, Ye Qingzhu, and Jiang Wenjin were also there.

She could understand the appearance of the guards and Granny Chang, but why were Ye Qingzhu and Jiang Wenjin here?

This seems illogical.

When the leading guard saw her and Zhan Sijing, he quickly stepped forward and first bowed in Zhan Sijing's direction.

"Greetings, Your Highness the Regent."

"What is the meaning of Commander Wang bringing so many people here?"

The man addressed as Commander Wang bowed and said, "Your Highness, I am here on the Emperor's orders to protect your safety for the next two days."

"Go back, I don't need any protection here."

Zhan Sijing's words startled Commander Wang. "Your Highness, the Emperor has given an order, and this humble general dares not disobey."

Zhan Sijing's gaze was icy, and the chill emanating from him was extremely oppressive.

Ye Qingwu stood in front of Zhan Sijing, "Your Highness, since the Emperor sent people to the Prince's residence for protection, it must be for your safety."

"Since you're already here, let's keep you here."

Zhan Sijing was somewhat puzzled. With Ye Qingwu's intelligence, it was impossible for her to know the intentions of these guards.

Leaving them behind would likely put her in greater danger.

Although Zhan Sijing was worried about this matter, he didn't say anything more since Ye Qingwu had already spoken.

"We will leave this matter to the Princess."

Ye Qingwu smiled and said, "Commander Wang, I'll be relying on you for the next two days."

Commander Wang quickly agreed. Even as an outsider, he could tell that His Highness the Regent treated this woman very differently.

It's unbelievable that she got the prince to agree with just one sentence.

"Ye Qingwu!"

Ye Qingzhu was equally shocked by what had happened. In her previous life, although she had married into the family, she had never seen this prince treat anyone so differently.

What makes Ye Qingwu so capable of such a dramatic change?

"My lady, you must not be disrespectful to the Regent's wife!"

Seeing Ye Qingzhu's actions, Jiang Wenjin quickly said that he couldn't afford to offend these people present.

Feeling the cold gaze, Ye Qingzhu trembled and her body gradually stiffened as she hid behind Jiang Wenjin.

"Your Highness, you should go back and rest. I will handle things here."

Taking this opportunity, she also wanted to find out what had happened.

"it is good."

Zhan Sijing responded softly, and before leaving, he coldly looked at the people present, his eyes carrying a clear warning.

After seeing Zhan Sijing leave, Ye Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief and immediately prepared to step forward.

"Ye Qingwu, why did you send someone to bring me here?"

Every time she stepped into the Regent's Palace, she would recall the scene of being dragged to be buried alive with him in her previous life.

Those things lingered in her mind like a shadow.

"Ye Qingwu, standing before you is the Regent's Consort."

Granny Chang, who had remained silent until now, was extremely dissatisfied with Ye Qingzhu's actions and reprimanded her.

Ye Qingzhu was clearly somewhat frightened. Seeing that something was wrong, Jiang Wenjin quickly said, "What you say is absolutely right, Granny."

Then he said to Ye Qingwu, "Your Highness, Qingzhu was too reckless just now. I will bring him to apologize to you."

"Jiang Wenjin, please don't..."

As soon as Ye Qingzhu finished speaking, Granny Chang arrived beside Ye Qingwu, her eyes full of warning.
