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

"Cousin, that's not what I meant..."

The more arrogant Tian Yurou was in front of Ye Bai, the more humble and fearful she became in front of Qin Wanqing.

Not only was her pretty face pale with fright, but her body was also trembling slightly, clearly showing that she was genuinely afraid of the other party.

"What do you mean, 'not'? You still think you're right? Or do you think I'm wrong?"

Qin Wanqing's beautiful eyes grew even colder, and the imposing aura of a superior was now unmistakably revealed.

"Cousin, I was wrong..."

Faced with Queen Qin's rage, Tian Yurou's eyes instantly reddened, and she immediately cowered.

"You should apologize to Ye Bai, not me!"

Qin Wanqing's expression softened slightly, and she spoke calmly.

"Um... Ye Bai, I'm sorry..."

Tian Yu spoke in a soft, almost inaudible voice, and at that moment she even had the urge to bury her head in her crotch.

Being forced to apologize in public to the adopted son of the Ye family, whom she looked down upon, was truly humiliating.

But she dared not disobey. Although Qin Wanqing was not much older than her, because she had previously been in charge of the Qin Group, she was not only the undisputed queen among the younger generation, but also a figure to be feared among the elders.

The younger generation of the Qin family can be said to have grown up in the shadow of Queen Qin, and that fear is even ingrained in their bones.

Therefore, Tian Yurou didn't even dare to ask her mother for help, because she knew it would be useless.

"It's nothing, you should just go to the hospital for a check-up as soon as possible."

Ye Bai shook his head and secretly gave Qin Wanqing a thumbs up.

When Queen Qin gets domineering, she really has a presence.

"Wanqing, how is your grandmother's health?"

Qin Yuemei finally found an opportunity to speak, her face growing increasingly grim.

As an elder, she naturally shouldn't get too involved in conflicts between the younger generation, especially when Qin Wanqing clearly stood up for Ye Bai.

If Qin Wanqing were still in her paralyzed state, she certainly wouldn't need to take her seriously anymore.

However, a healthy Qin Wanqing instilled a sense of fear in them all.

"Under Ye Bai's treatment, he is slowly recovering."

Qin Wanqing said calmly.

She accompanied Ye Bai every day to serve Old Madam Qin her medicine, and naturally she could clearly feel the changes in her grandmother's body.

Although he wasn't quite as lively and energetic as before, his complexion and spirits were noticeably better.

This means that Ye Bai's medicine is not only effective, but also surprisingly effective!

This achievement absolutely cannot be denied.

"What? Ye Bai can really cure diseases?"

Qin Yuemei exclaimed in surprise, her face filled with disbelief.

Clearly, she had heard about Ye Bai's plan to treat Old Madam Qin's illness before returning to the Qin family manor, but she didn't believe it.

"This...how is this possible..."

Tian Yurou reacted even more strongly, her mouth opening so wide that a loofah could fit inside.

She was not only shocked, but also began to feel a little scared.

If Ye Bai really knows how to cure illnesses, doesn't that mean she really is sick?

Of course, it's also possible that he was deliberately trying to scare her.

But being suspicious is a woman's nature, and Tian Yurou naturally couldn't help but overthink things.

That's why Qin Yuemei and her daughter Tian Yurou didn't enjoy their meal.

He was always absent-minded and would drift off into thought from time to time.

She would occasionally glance at Ye Bai, her expression complex and difficult to decipher.

However, no one paid attention to the mother and daughter.

Tong Yan and Qin Wanqing were talking in hushed tones about the Admiral's birthday banquet tomorrow. As a famous host with an extraordinary background, Tong Yan was naturally invited as well.

What kind of gift to wear, what kind of makeup to put on, what kind of jewelry to wear, etc., are all very particular.

After all, they were not ordinary people, but the daughters of the most prestigious wealthy families in Jingzhou.

At such a formal banquet, one must not be casual or impolite in their attire, speech, or behavior.

Ye Bai naturally didn't need to worry about that; he only needed to deal with the food on the table.

I only drank at Ding Shuai's place and didn't eat much. Now I'm starving.

After devouring most of the food in a whirlwind, Ye Bai rubbed his stomach, but didn't bother with Qin Yuemei and Tian Yurou, and went straight to the back hall.

These so-called relatives who are completely incompatible are not worth wasting time communicating with.

Upon realizing this, Ye Bai's expression suddenly turned strange.

He suddenly realized that since he came to the Qin family, all the high-ranking members of the Qin family he had come into contact with seemed to be the kind of people who didn't get along with Qin Wanqing.

And none of the people who were close to Qin Wanqing have run into her yet...

"Son-in-law, you should get some rest early tonight. I'll prepare the medicine."

When Ye Bai arrived at the back hall, he found that Shen Lu was already waiting there.

Her little face was flushed, clearly a little embarrassed.

Yesterday, she drank a few more drinks with Qin Wanqing and Tong Yan, and ended up falling asleep early, so she wasn't able to help at all.

"Okay, then you can watch the first half of the night. I'll take a nap first."

Ye Bai did not refuse and nodded with a smile.

I drank quite a bit at the ghost market before, and I didn't feel it when I was busy, but now that I've stopped to rest, I do feel a bit sleepy.

"By the way, son-in-law, please be very careful when you attend the Admiral's birthday banquet tomorrow..."

Shen Lu said as she helped make the bed on the sofa.

"It's just a birthday banquet, how could there be any danger?"

Ye Bai asked, puzzled.

Shen Lu said worriedly, "Zhu Daji and Ye Xuanyuan will obviously be attending, but the most troublesome ones are actually the Zhao family, the Li family, and the young masters of the Governor's family..."

"What does that mean?" Ye Bai was even more confused.

"Young master, you're so silly! They're all your rivals in love! Now that you and Miss are married, they're probably all furious!"

Shen Lu rolled her eyes adorably, finally realizing for the first time in her life that her IQ wasn't so low after all.

"You mean this..."

Ye Bai finally understood, and for a moment he was both amused and exasperated.

Clearly, the "Zhao family" and "Li family" that Shen Lu mentioned are two of the four major families in Jingzhou.

Needless to say, the Admiral's family members are among the most outstanding young masters and nobles in Jingzhou.

Ye Bai was not surprised at all that they had feelings for Qin Wanqing.

The goddess in the hearts of all the men in Jingzhou has never been an exaggeration.

"It's alright. If they dare to complain, I'll have your young lady give birth to a baby next year to show them."

Ye Bai had no interest in competing with those rich young masters for women; they were just a bunch of pathetic creatures who liked beautiful women but were afraid of being cursed to death.

"Young Master, you...you mean...Miss is pregnant? That's wonderful!"

Shen Lu was taken aback at first, then cheered excitedly.

Ye Bai was speechless. Just as he was about to explain, his phone suddenly rang.

As soon as the call connected, Qin Wanqing's extremely anxious voice came from the other end.

"Ye Bai, come quick! Grandma's coughing up blood..."
