After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Brother, please tell me what's wrong. Wanqing is weak and needs to rest."

Ye Bai opened the door, looked at Ye Xuanyuan, and said with a smile.

"This is between Wanqing and me, so don't interfere."

Ye Xuanyuan frowned and rebuked him coldly.

He had looked down on Ye Bai since he was a child, and he couldn't understand the point of the Ye family adopting such an orphan.

So from the day Ye Bai entered the Ye family, he tried every means to mistreat him.

It wasn't until Ye Bai was sent to guard the mountain town that he vaguely guessed his parents' plans.

But this still couldn't change the fact that he disliked Ye Bai, and he never regarded him as his younger brother.

Especially now, Ye Xuanyuan is increasingly annoyed that a mere orphan adopted out of pity by the Ye family has actually married Qin Wanqing, the most beautiful woman in Jingzhou who is the object of every man's fantasy.

Even though he knew that the Ye family sent Ye Bai to marry Qin Wanqing to shield him from disaster, he still felt as if his most cherished possession had been taken away.

Ye Bai's smile faded, and he said calmly, "Brother, I don't understand what you're saying. Wanqing is my wife now."

Ye Xuanyuan's expression grew increasingly grim, his eyes flashing with cold light: "You dare to disobey me? Don't forget your identity! You're just an adopted son of the Ye family!"

"That's a nice way of putting it. If this were ancient times, you'd be no different from a servant!"

The thought of Qin Wanqing acting as if she were Ye Bai's wife at the banquet made Ye Xuanyuan feel a burning rage within him.

Unable to vent his jealousy on Qin Wanqing, he could only direct it all at Ye Bai.

"Ye Xuanyuan, is this your opinion, or the Ye family's opinion? Do you regard my Qin family's son-in-law, my Qin Wanqing's man, as your Ye family's slave?"

Before Ye Bai could react, Qin Wanqing's cold voice rang out as she pushed her wheelchair to the vicinity.

That stunningly beautiful face was now covered in frost, and her beautiful eyes were icy cold.

"Wanqing, you've misunderstood..."

Upon seeing Qin Wanqing appear, Ye Xuanyuan's expression instantly changed, revealing a kind and gentle smile.

But before he could finish his greeting, Qin Wanqing sneered, "Shut up! Who do you think you are to call me that?"

Ye Xuanyuan's smile froze, and he said awkwardly, "From Xiaobai's perspective, we're family too..."

Qin Wanqing interrupted with a cold laugh, "Family? Didn't you treat Ye Bai like a servant? And you're planning to treat me like a maid?"

"That's not what I meant..." Ye Xuanyuan's face flushed red as he tried to explain.

But Qin Wanqing had no interest in listening at all, and waved her hand, saying, "Get out of here, or I'll have Uncle Ye settle this!"

"...Okay, then you should get some rest!"

Ye Xuanyuan took a deep breath, then turned and left dejectedly.

He glanced at Ye Bai before leaving, his eyes filled with extreme coldness.

"As expected of Queen Qin, she's amazing!"

Ye Bai closed the door, smiled, and gave a thumbs up.

"Sometimes I really don't understand. You're not an incompetent person, so how can you tolerate the Ye family treating you like this?"

Qin Wanqing's face was ashen, and the more she looked at Ye Bai, the more displeased she became.

Ye Xuanyuan's words were not only unpleasant to hear, but they also likely represented the thoughts of the entire Ye family.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent Ye Bai, their adopted son, to the Qin family to stand in for a marriage!

Fearing something might happen to their own child, they replaced him with an adopted son. Only the Ye family would do something like that!

"Without them, I wouldn't be where I am today."

Ye Bai shook his head; there were some things he couldn't tell Qin Wanqing.

For example, the ancient Xuanmen book that his master asked him to find is very likely in the Ye family.

Otherwise, his collection of books wouldn't be stolen from time to time.

The ancient texts are written in the Great Seal script, which is decipherable by very few people. It is necessary to first use the Small Seal script to decipher them.

Only Ye Bai possessed the Xuanmen books written in Small Seal script.

His fishing plan has been a clear success.

It's not advisable to completely break off relations before finding the item.

Then, Ye Bai laughed and said, "And I should thank the Ye family, otherwise how could I have married you, a woman of wealth... uh, talent?"

He almost blurted out the words "God of Wealth," but luckily he reacted quickly enough.

"Stop grinning at me! I don't care if you like being a loser, but don't make me lose face with you!"

Qin Wanqing grew increasingly angry and, ignoring everything else, stood up from her wheelchair and said, "And how long am I going to pretend to be paralyzed?"

She was disappointed with Ye Bai's performance just now, so she naturally had no interest in continuing to play along.

"You can get rid of your wheelchair first thing tomorrow morning."

Ye Bai thought for a moment and then said.

"What exactly is your purpose in making me pretend to be paralyzed?"

The fact that they could keep up the act until tomorrow calmed Qin Wanqing's anger somewhat, and she began to feel curious.

"It's nothing. The Qin family agreed to the marriage alliance with the Ye family just to borrow their good fortune, right? Your leg will be better tomorrow, so it will be considered that you've successfully borrowed their good fortune."

Ye Bai didn't keep them in suspense this time.

The Queen of Qin was in a bad mood, so he dared not continue to make things mysterious.

"So you wanted to distance yourself from this..."

Qin Wanqing finally realized, and then nodded, saying, "That's good, at least you'll be safer."

Those who wanted to harm her will not give up after learning that she has recovered her health; they will continue to use underhanded methods.

Once they find out that Ye Bai cured her legs, they will definitely include him in their list of targets, which will be very dangerous.

"As the saying goes, behind every successful woman stands a strong man. So I can just be behind you. Fame is no different from dirt to me."

Ye Bai possessed an air of nonchalant superiority.

He'd rather not bother making money off others than spend it on himself.

"...Ye Bai, you're such a scoundrel!"

Qin Wanqing's pretty face suddenly flushed red, as if she had thought of something.

"??"

Ye Bai was completely bewildered.

……

The next morning, when Qin Wanqing threw away her wheelchair and appeared in the Ye family's reception hall with Ye Bai, all the Ye family members were struck dumb, their jaws dropping to the floor in shock.

Qin Wanqing stood up, wearing a long purple dress.

She has a tall, slender waist, long legs, and a curvaceous figure with perfect proportions.

She even gives people a feeling of unreal beauty, as if she were a princess who stepped out of a fairy tale.

"Wanqing, your...your leg is healed? How...how did you do that?"

After the initial shock, Yang Fenglan stepped forward first, looked Qin Wanqing up and down, and gasped in disbelief, covering her mouth in astonishment.

"This...how is this possible!"

Ye Xuanyuan was stunned, and he seriously doubted that he was hallucinating.

Ye Wentian's expression kept changing, as if he had thought of something but was not sure.

Yang Guangyao was even more distressed, repeatedly slapping his own face in an attempt to regain his senses.

"I don't know either, but my leg was fine after I stayed at your Ye family's house for one night."

Qin Wanqing smiled slightly, feigning ignorance and letting others speculate.

"I understand! This is all thanks to the Ye family's fortune; it broke her curse of bringing misfortune to her husbands!"

“I said at the time that my Ye family is prosperous and my fate of being a widow is nothing!”

"But none of you believe me, and you insist on having Ye Bai marry in my place! Qin Wanqing should be my wife!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Ye Xuanyuan suddenly roared to the sky, appearing like a madman, clearly provoked into a frenzy...
