After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

After his mother-in-law's last attempt to dissuade him, Ye Qingzhu finally agreed to let his mother move into the house after a long standoff.

But ever since that day, the two have been arguing constantly.

"Mother, what has happened now?"

Upon seeing Wang Shi come out of the house, Jiang Wenjin quickly went forward.

As soon as Wang saw her son return, she instantly felt emboldened and began to wail and complain to him.

"Son, you're finally back! If you had been any later, your mother would have been bullied to death by your wife."

Ye Qingzhu, who was already furious inside the house, exploded upon hearing Wang's words. She rushed out and gave Wang a good scolding.

"What do you mean I'm bullying you! Jiang Wenjin, you'd better talk to your mother and make her understand her place!"

If it weren't for her mother's dissuasion, she would never have agreed to let this old woman move in.

It's such an eyesore to see it every day!

Seeing Ye Qingzhu speak to his mother like that, it was impossible for Jiang Wenjin not to be angry at all. However, considering the current situation, he could only suppress his anger and force it down.

After comforting his mother, Jiang Wenjin approached Ye Qingzhu and said softly, "Wife, didn't you agree with your mother-in-law before? Besides, my mother moving in is just one more person. Why did you..."

"Jiang Wenjin!"

Seeing that Jiang Wenjin still dared to speak up for that old woman, Ye Qingzhu became even more aggressive, "Get this straight, I bought this house, you didn't contribute a single penny."

"I'm the master here. I can keep whomever I want. If I don't want to, and the other party is like this, humph!" Ye Qingzhu said disdainfully. "I'm only doing this for your sake, otherwise I would have already taken action!"

Wang had originally hoped that her son would seek justice for her and teach Ye Qingzhu a lesson, but who would have thought that Jiang Wenjin would adopt such a humble attitude.

"Wenjin, what are you afraid of her for!"

Wang angrily pulled Jiang Wenjin over and said to Ye Qingzhu, "Ye Qingzhu, I don't care what your previous status was. Now that you've married into this family, you'd better behave yourself!"

"Haven't you heard the saying, 'A woman follows her husband wherever he goes,' or 'She follows her husband wherever he goes,', don't you!"

"Even if you move in, so what? If you dare to do this again, I'll have Wen Jin divorce you!"

Wang said viciously, "I'd like to see if anyone will want a divorced woman like you!"

"what!!!!"

Ye Qingzhu was furious and slapped Wang Shi.

Wang Shi, relying on Jiang Wenjin's presence, did not expect Ye Qingzhu to make a direct move and was suddenly struck down to the ground.

"Damn it, Wen Jin, my bones are about to break!"

Wang fell to the ground and shouted at Jiang Wenjin.

"Mother!"

Jiang Wen was extremely worried and shouted to the maids and servants around him, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and find a doctor!"

"Ye Qingzhu, how could you lay a hand on my mother!"

No matter how much Jiang Wenjin could endure, he could hardly bear to see this scene.

Ye Qingzhu glanced at Wang Shi on the ground, unimpressed. "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"

"She fell down on her own, what does it have to do with me? At worst, I'll pay for the doctor's visit."

Ye Qingzhu's attitude made Jiang Wenjin even more dissatisfied, but he really had no other choice now.

The maid quickly carried Wang Shi to her own courtyard.

"How is the doctor? How is my mother now?"

After the doctor took his pulse, Jiang Wen asked anxiously.

"I suffered a minor injury and will need to rest and recuperate for the next few days."

Jiang Wenjin breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. After seeing the doctor off, he returned to Wang's bedside, feeling both helpless and angry.

“Mother, didn’t I tell you before that if you see Ye Qingzhu, you should avoid her? Even if you can’t avoid her, try not to get into a conflict with her.”

"No matter what, Ye Qingzhu was a young lady from the Duke's mansion. She's always had a bit of a temper, so just be lenient with her."

When Wang, who was lying in bed, heard Jiang Wenjin's words, she was instantly furious.

She tried to raise her hand to hit Jiang Wenjin, but the movement was too forceful, aggravating her wound and causing her to cry out in pain.

Jiang Wenjin became a little nervous upon seeing this. "Mother, the doctor said that you need to rest now. We can talk about anything else after you've recovered."

"Stay still? Wenjin, I raised you all these years hoping you'd have a good life, but what are you now?"

"You're a man, why do you have to put up with a woman's attitude? Just now, you were even trying to say nice things to her?"

Wang became increasingly angry as she thought about it, exclaiming, "I really raised you for nothing!"

Jiang Wenjin lowered his head, feeling guilty towards Madam Wang. "Mother, it was indeed my fault in this matter, but Ye Qingzhu is, after all, the daughter of the Duke. I do need more help now."

"Mother, I promise you, I will make sure you live a good life from now on."

"You said it yourself." Seeing Jiang Wenjin like this, Wang Shi knew he was her son after all, so she didn't want to scold him too much.

As for Ye Qingzhu, she will always find a way to deal with her.

In the following days, Ye Qingwu's life became much quieter.

After Zhan Sijing took the herbal soup she brewed every day, his physical condition also improved significantly.

this day.

"Your Highness, we have found a lead regarding the matter you instructed your subordinates to investigate the dark energy a few days ago."

Upon hearing Leng Feng's report, Ye Qingwu became interested.

Where did you discover the anomaly?

“At a gambling den in the east of the city, a guard came to report that the talisman you gave me, Your Highness, had become luminous.”

"East of the city..."

You should know that her talismans have the function of bringing good fortune and warding off evil. They will only emit light when they encounter a certain degree of evil energy. This is to make people wary and also to make it easier to investigate.

The black energy that escaped from the Regent's Palace was not powerful enough to make the talisman glow. The fact that this happened can only mean that the black energy had absorbed more greed during this period.

It seems she still has to go.

"Lead the way, we'll go now."

Ye Qingwu said that if this matter is not resolved quickly, the black energy will turn into malevolent energy and continue to absorb more greed and evil thoughts, which will inevitably become a disaster.

When that time comes, even more people will inevitably be harmed.

Not to mention, this is in a place like the capital.

"Your Highness, should we inform the Prince?"

Before leaving the mansion, Leng Feng asked.

"His Highness has just drunk his medicinal diet and is still resting, so it's best not to disturb him," Ye Qingwu said.

"Let's go."

"Yes."

Leng Feng agreed without saying anything more, and followed Ye Qingwu out of the mansion, heading towards the gambling den in the east of the city.
