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

"...What does Zhu Daji's arrival at the Qin family have to do with me?"

Ye Bai was increasingly speechless, but he began to understand why his master always said that women were the most difficult creatures in the world, because sometimes they were truly unreasonable.

He was merely a bystander, yet he suffered this undeserved misfortune.

But he wasn't the only one watching the drama unfold; Lulu was there too!

Dissatisfied, Ye Bai glanced at Shen Lu, only to find that the little girl had almost shrunk herself under the table.

I guess they were afraid that standing up and running away at this point would attract more attention; otherwise, they would have disappeared long ago.

"Heh, still being stubborn! I'm asking you, did you rescue Zhu Daji from Ye Xuanyuan?"

Qin Wanqing said with a cold smile.

"...You mean this?"

Ye Bai finally realized, but then a huge question arose in his mind.

"But apart from the three of us and Grandma, no one else knows who did it."

So how could Zhu Daji possibly know?

Is there a traitor among them?

Ye Bai's eyes were somewhat strange as he looked at Shen Lu first.

This little girl never thinks before she speaks, because she never thinks about it anyway, so could she have let something slip?

"It wasn't me! I didn't tell anyone!"

Shen Lu reacted quickly this time. Upon seeing Ye Bai, she immediately understood what he meant and quickly stood up and raised her hand to deny it.

“My Lulu would never lie.”

Ye Bai nodded, then turned to look at Qin Wanqing with a suspicious expression.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? Maybe some guy was trying to seduce her and told her on his own."

Qin Wanqing sneered, denying the allegations while also taking a jab at Ye Bai.

"That's strange... Could it be what Grandma said? But that shouldn't be the case."

Ye Bai ignored the habitually erratic behavior of Queen Qin and began to ponder with a frown.

No one told anyone, but Zhu Daji found out, which was clearly strange.

Wait a minute... something seems off. Can anyone be sure that Zhu Daji is coming to the Qin family tomorrow just for this matter?

All of this is just speculation; perhaps the Queen of Qin is just acting crazy.

This woman led me astray!

"What? Did I hit the nail on the head? Tsk tsk, Ye Bai, you're really getting more and more successful! You're not satisfied with marrying me, the eldest daughter of the Qin family, and you're secretly flirting with the eldest daughter of the Zhu family."

"Judging by this, are you planning to take all the young ladies from the wealthy families in Jingzhou in one fell swoop? Do you think this is ancient times? Do you want to enjoy the blessings of multiple wives and concubines?"

Seeing Ye Bai fall silent, Qin Wanqing naturally assumed he was feeling guilty, and her pretty face grew even colder.

"...Are there any young ladies among those who are cursed to bring misfortune to their husbands?"

Ye Bai's eyes lit up as he suddenly realized that Qin Wanqing's suggestion seemed pretty good.

Of course, it has nothing to do with having multiple wives and concubines. He just felt that if he could find someone with the same fate of bringing misfortune to their husbands as Qin Wanqing, it wouldn't be wrong for him to change wives.

She's gentler and more generous than Queen Qin, and not as sharp-tongued or eccentric.

"Get lost! Go find whoever you want, I don't care!"

Qin Wanqing was so angry that she threw down her chopsticks, got up and left.

It wouldn't be so bad if this womanizing scoundrel were actually seduced by Zhu Daji.

Staying in the Qin family will only drive her to her death.

"Oh no, oh no, Miss looks really angry! Young master, why don't you hurry up and go after her to coax her?"

Seeing Qin Wanqing storm off, Shen Lu turned pale with fright and quickly tried to comfort her.

"It's okay, ignore her. Lulu, can you guess how our secret was exposed?"

Ye Bai racked his brains, still thinking about Zhu Daji's arrival tomorrow.

Although he previously thought Qin Wanqing was just guessing, for some reason, he had a hunch that Zhu Daji was coming to the Qin family tomorrow for him.

This is definitely not a coincidence.

"Son-in-law, with a brain the size of a walnut, there's nothing I can do to help you!"

Shen Lu's face scrunched up in a frown, then she suddenly jolted awake, glanced around, and whispered, "Young Master, there was someone else in the car that day..."

Ye Bai was taken aback at first, then his eyes narrowed and he said, "You mean Tong Yan?"

"Yes, yes, Miss Tong was drunk that day, but what if she didn't completely lose consciousness? Maybe she heard it!"

Shen Lu nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

There was a dinner party at the TV station tonight, and Tong Yan didn't go back to the Qin family, which meant Shen Lu didn't have to hold back when she spoke.

"She shouldn't be the type to gossip, and besides, she doesn't even know Zhu Daji..."

Ye Bai thought about it and felt that Tong Yan was not very suspicious.

Tong Yan was so drunk that night, it couldn't have been an act.

"Then I don't know what happened..."

Shen Lu rested her chin on her hand, shook her head with a worried expression.

With her limited brain, the idea of ​​a youthful appearance is already the limit.

"Whatever, whatever. We'll know what's going on tomorrow anyway."

Ye Bai was too lazy to waste brain cells, so he took Shen Lu for a walk after dinner.

As they walked, the two unknowingly arrived in front of a villa that was dark and exuded a sinister atmosphere.

"By the way, have Qin Xiuzhao and those black-robed Taoist priests still not come to the Qin family manor these past few days?"

Ye Bai glanced at the villa of Second Madam Chen Jingmei and asked Shen Lu.

Ye Bai felt uneasy until he quickly found those scoundrels from the Xuanmen sect.

Those people posed no threat to him, but he was no longer alone.

He cared deeply about the safety of Old Madam Qin, Qin Wanqing, Shen Lu, Feng Gu, and many others.

"Uncle Wang and I agreed that he would notify me as soon as he saw it, but nothing has happened."

Shen Lu shook her head.

The "Uncle Wang" she mentioned is the security captain of the Qin family manor, an elder of the Qin family, whose loyalty is beyond doubt.

The security office is responsible for monitoring the entire manor. Although it can't be completely blind spot-free, it can still keep track of a few living people.

"Huh? Someone's coming out of the villa..."

Shen Lu gasped and quickly tugged at Ye Bai.

"It seems to be the Second Madam... What's she doing out so late? Doesn't she need to chant Buddhist prayers?"

Ye Bai looked over and indeed saw a white BMW 760 slowly driving out of Chen Jingmei's villa garage.

The driver was wearing a black trench coat, a hat, and a mask, completely covering himself up.

But judging from her eyebrows and the car, it should be Chen Jingmei herself without a doubt.

Given that second wife's personality, she probably wouldn't lend her car to someone else.

"Son-in-law, I have a strange feeling. Should we follow them and see?"

Shen Lu said excitedly.

"Never mind, the Second Madam is an elder after all, and she also needs privacy."

Ye Bai thought for a moment and then declined Shen Lu's suggestion.

……

The next morning, after breakfast, Ye Bai noticed that Qin Wanqing hadn't gone to work, which made him ask curiously, "Didn't you say you had an important meeting today?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

Qin Wanqing rolled her eyes and left Ye Bai with a haughty back of her head.
