Rebirth and Rewriting Fate

"Nanrao!" he glared at her angrily.

Chiwu stepped in front of Nanrao and then heard the voice of the person behind him.

“Being the Regent’s brother-in-law is not easy, and besides, you are not, and you are not, worthy of it!” Nan Rao said the last few words heavily, one by one.

Chiwu's lips curved slightly, but given the current situation, he immediately suppressed his smile.

At this moment, Nan Rao was rubbing her hand, looking at Ye Wangqi with disdain. She had actually wanted to hit him for a long time. Back when they were in the Ye family, her young lady had suffered a lot of bullying from him, both openly and secretly.

She had just learned that people from the Ye family had come. She hadn't wanted to come out, but when she saw that only Chi Wu and the others came out, she was worried because, although she knew there were still guards in the shadows, Chi Wu wasn't a member of the Ye family and didn't know what was going on inside.

She glanced at Mo Han standing guard in front of the study, then followed him out.

Just then, she felt someone watching her from the side. She turned her head and saw Zhu Ling's admiring gaze. She had followed her out. But why was there also envy and a hint of eagerness in that gaze?

Ye Wangqi was intimidated by the chilling aura emanating from Chiwu and dared not utter a sound. He took a step back.

Seeing that his elder brother had only come but had not spoken, Ye Shizhen couldn't help but anxiously say, "Brother, say something!"

Ye Shihuan simply stared at the plaque of Qingfeng Courtyard without saying a word. Qingfeng Courtyard, Qingfeng Courtyard, would Chen'er miss the Ye family mansion? He fell into deep thought.

Seeing that his elder brother didn't move, Ye Shizhen had to take matters into his own hands. "Xingchen's marriage is a major event, and it should naturally be handled by her family. Our Ye family is also willing to accept it."

“Miss doesn’t need your Ye family.” Perhaps because Nan Rao had just slapped a member of the Ye family, Zhu Ling’s courage grew.

Ye Shizhen was losing face; after talking for so long, Ye Xingchen still hadn't come out. He took a step back and gave Ye Wangqi a wink.

Ye Wangqi hurriedly stepped forward and exclaimed, "Don't think your family isn't important. What do you think a concubine can do? There are so many concubines in the Prince's mansion. What will you do without your family when the Prince gets tired of you? Men understand men best!"

"Slap!" Another clear five-finger mark was left on the other side of Ye Wangqi's face.

He covered his face and shouted angrily, "Zhu Ling!"

Meanwhile, Zhu Ling was hiding behind Cheng Feng, panting heavily. She had wanted to hit him for a long time, and seeing Nan Rao hit him gave her even more courage. Besides, she had her mistress and the prince behind her now, so what did she have to fear? She had been furious when he scolded her mistress, and taking advantage of Ye Wangqi's momentary lapse in attention, she rushed up and slapped him before running back. It felt so good to vent her anger. She turned her gaze to Nan Rao, just in time to see him looking at her. The two exchanged a smile.

In fact, Chengfeng had already noticed that Zhuling beside him had become excited after Nanrao beat someone up, and even started to get restless. So when she came back, he straightened his back and stood in front of her.

Zhu Ling looked up and saw the back of the person in front of her, which made her feel very safe. Then she blushed and couldn't help but feel annoyed at herself for thinking such things!

When Yun Chu, who was inside the house, heard Ye Wangqi's words, she couldn't help but shudder slightly.

Gu Ruoxiao noticed, and he held her in his arms, speaking above her head, "Only you, it will only be you."

"Mmm," Yun Chu responded softly.

But the drama outside isn't over yet.

A person walked out of the Qingfeng Courtyard and bowed to everyone.

“This old servant is the steward of the Regent’s Palace. My master said that this is the residence of the Regent’s principal wife, and that the Regent will only ever have Miss Yun Chu in his life. I hope that the neighbors will take good care of her in the future.” After saying this, Uncle Cheng arranged for the servants to distribute the wedding candies and cakes.

Those who received the candy all said, "No problem, no problem."

Ye Shihuan was stunned. What had he just said? That Chen'er was the principal wife? That the prince would only ever have her in his life? He suddenly felt gratified and happy for her. But then he felt a pang of sadness. What right did he have? He was the one who had severed the bond between father and daughter, and now he came here with ulterior motives. Actually, he had been to the vicinity of Shili Pu before. He had watched her from afar; she seemed to be doing well, her face beaming with smiles. And with the Ye family gradually declining, he shouldn't be dragging her down. He was filled with melancholy.

"Is the Regent inside?" Ye Shizhen couldn't help but ask.

"Exactly."

Ye Shizhen's face turned pale instantly. Hadn't they sent the betrothal gifts this morning? Why were they still here? He must have heard everything they were shouting just now.

Before he could figure out how to save face, someone arrived.

"Congratulations! Congratulations!" The man who came was in his forties. He walked over while speaking. Behind him followed a large group of servants carrying bags full of pastries and candies.

"Brother Cheng!" he greeted Uncle Cheng.

"Brother Jing!"

"I am here today on the orders of my matriarch, Madam Shen, to discuss with you the preparations for Miss Yun Chu's wedding," the visitor said.

Chengbo smiled and nodded.

"Which Madam Shen is it?" someone in the crowd asked curiously.

The newcomer turned to the crowd and said with a smile, "Naturally, this is Madam Shen from the Marquis's residence. This old servant is Shen Jing, the steward of the Shen family. I will be in charge of Miss Yun Chu's marriage this time."

"Why should you be in charge of her marriage? We are her family!" Ye Shizhen stepped forward.

Shen Jing glanced at him and smiled, "Master Ye may be getting old and has forgotten that the Ye family has no connection with Miss Yun Chu anymore. Coincidentally, I have an official document here regarding the Ye family's severance of ties with Miss Yun Chu. I've made a copy. Would you like to take a look?"

After saying that, Shen Jing took out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and instead of handing it to Ye Shizhen, he walked into the crowd and showed it to them.

"As for her maternal family," Shen Jing continued, "Old Madam Shen has already recognized Miss Yun Chu as her goddaughter, so she is naturally a young lady of the Shen family, and the Shen family is her maternal family."

"You, you, you..." Ye Shizhen was so angry that he couldn't speak.

To onlookers, it all seems like the Regent and Miss Yun Chu are deeply in love. The Ye family, having driven her out, are now jealous and trying to marry her. When that failed, they got angry. What's worse, the Shen family is now their maternal home, which is a real slap in the face to the Ye family. Ouch, the Ye family has been slapped three times today! Hahaha!

"Someone, distribute the wedding candies so everyone can share in the joy," Shen Jing ordered, then ignored those outside. "Brother Cheng, please!"

"Please!" Uncle Cheng stepped into the courtyard.

Chengfeng and Chiwu exchanged a glance, one grabbing Zhuling and the other pulling Nanrao, and stepped into the courtyard.

As the courtyard gate slammed shut, the servants outside quickly stepped in front of it and began handing out candy to the onlookers. There was so much candy left that it could last until tomorrow.

Ye Shihuan took a deep look at Qingfeng Courtyard, then turned and left.

Ye Shizhen was now riddled with scornful stares from the surrounding crowd. He could only slink away. Ye Wangqi, clutching his bruised cheeks, chased after him.
