Chapter 35 Brother-in-law visits
Hao Fu listened attentively.
After explaining her idea, Ye Shishu said hatefully, "The Wei family has spread rumors to slander me and the Prince. If we confront them openly, it will only make outsiders think those rumors are true. And we can't involve my father in dealing with the Wei family. They just don't want the Prince and me to have a good time, so let's find a way to make their lives miserable!"
Hao Fu's eyes also revealed hatred. "Miss is right, they should be taught a lesson! The annulment of the engagement was agreed upon in person, but the Wei family was treacherous and scheming. They not only bribed your maid, but also drugged you at the temple to ruin your reputation. Now Wei Yonghuai is still harassing you. If we don't teach them a lesson, who knows what they will do to you!"
Ye Shishu truly harbored deep resentment.
In her previous life, although she was bedridden for many years, she still knew quite a bit about the situation of Wei Guangzheng and Ge, the old married couple.
This time, she won't target Wei Yonghuai; she'll make things difficult for the Ge family!
If the Ge family is in trouble, then the Wei family can forget about having any peace...
……
Cheng Wang Mansion.
Upon seeing the painting that Ninth Aunt had brought back, Yu Chi Ling's face instantly darkened.
"Is this the letter she wrote to me?"
"Yes, Your Highness," Ninth Aunt said cautiously, looking into his angry eyes. "The Princess Consort has been writing in her room for several hours..."
'Snapped'!
Yu Chi Ling slammed the painting onto the desk, so angry he was practically fuming.
He asked the woman to write him a letter, and she actually copied a whole scroll of scriptures for him, and at the end she even asked him to pray for his well-being!
Wenyan and Wenmo looked at each other, then kept giving Jiugu meaningful glances.
What exactly did the princess write that could make the prince so angry?
Aunt Jiu received their glances, shrugged at them, and said, "She didn't know either!"
Just then, a guard secretly waved to Wen Yan from outside the door.
Wen Yan quickly left the room.
After listening to the guard's whispered words, Wen Yan entered the study and reported, "Your Highness, the Wei family has spread some rumors that are detrimental to you and the Princess, but the people of the General's Mansion have already put those rumors down."
Yu Chi Ling's eyes turned cold.
He originally planned to take action against the Wei family after the wedding ceremony, but the Wei family repeatedly challenged his bottom line. They really wanted to die!
Wen Yan continued, "Your Highness, our spies have also discovered something strange. The General's Mansion sent people to the brothel, but we don't know what they're up to."
Yu Chi Ling suddenly frowned.
He then looked at Ninth Aunt and said coldly, "Go back to the Princess's side!"
Aunt Jiu understood and quickly took her leave.
That evening, Yu Chi Ling received a letter from his Ninth Aunt, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, which had been silent for a long time.
Wen Yan and Wen Mo looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Your Highness, what did Ninth Aunt say?" Wenmo asked cautiously.
Yu Chi Ling handed him the note.
Wenmo took it, and after reading it, he and Wenyan couldn't help but laugh.
Their princess is really vengeful!
First, they used a scheme to "matchmake" Wei Yonghuai and Miss Yufeng Hou into sleeping together, then they set fire to Wei Yonghuai's study, and now they're pointing the finger directly at Wei Yonghuai's father...
It was already late, but Yu Chi Ling didn't rest; he was waiting for news from Ninth Aunt.
Just as he was about to dismiss Wen Yan and Wen Mo after receiving the news, a gatekeeper suddenly came to report, "Your Highness, the two young masters of General Zhihe's mansion have returned to the capital and are right outside the gate, saying they want to see you!"
Upon hearing this, the three of them, master and servant, couldn't help but frown.
Why did the two young masters of the Ye family return to the capital and come to the Prince Cheng's residence instead of going to General Zhihe's residence first?
Although he found it strange, Yu Chi Ling still asked Wen Yan to bring them in.
Before long, several pairs of footsteps rushed toward the study, accompanied by low shouts of obstruction, "Shi Jun! You stop right there!"
The door was ajar, and a figure leaped in, a sharp longsword in hand pointing directly at Yuchi Ling behind the desk—
"King Cheng! I have always regarded you as the God of War of my Great Ye Kingdom, but I never expected you to be such a despicable and shameless villain! Speak! Why did you try to break up my sister's promising marriage? What are your true intentions?"
"Ye Shijun! Don't be rude!" The man who followed couldn't help but growl and quickly snatched the longsword.
"Big brother! Don't worry about me, I'm going to get justice for my little sister today no matter what!" Ye Shijun roared defiantly.
"Do you want to get beaten up?" Ye Shiting glared angrily at his brother.
"Even if you beat me to death, I will still demand an explanation for my little sister! He is a prince, and you dare not offend him, but I am not afraid. He steals other people's love and ruins their marriages. He does not deserve to be respected!" Ye Shijun argued indignantly.
"Ahem!" Yu Chi Ling couldn't help but cough lightly, signaling the two arguing brothers to pay attention to him. "What brings you two to me so late at night?"
"you……"
Seeing that Ye Shijun was about to speak, Ye Shiting quickly covered his mouth and glared at him fiercely, gritting his teeth and saying, "If you continue to be so willful, believe me, I'll throw you out!"
Ye Shijun coldly snorted and turned his face away.
Ye Shiting released his mouth and then knelt down on one knee before Yuchi. “Your Highness Prince Cheng, my brother and I have just returned to the capital and heard some rumors. Since we do not understand the inside story, we have come to your residence to seek your advice.”
Yu Chi Ling said with a stern face, "I dare not ask for your guidance! I am merely a despicable and shameless villain who steals love and ruins other people's marriages!"
Ye Shiting pulled his brother to kneel down as well. "Your Highness, please calm down. We have just returned to the capital and have truly offended you. We have no objection to whatever punishment Your Highness desires."
Yu Chi Ling narrowed his eyes, casting a cold gaze at the second son, Ye Shijun. "I've heard that Young Master Ye has studied military strategy since childhood and led troops into battle as a vanguard at the age of fifteen. But to me, Young Master Ye is incredibly strong, but his mind is completely empty."
Upon hearing him belittle himself like that, Ye Shijun's face instantly turned red.
But Ye Shiting was already on guard, gripping his wrist tightly with one hand and glaring at him with oppressive eyes.
Ye Shijun was indignant, but he had no choice but to suppress his temper.
Ye Shiting apologized again, "Your Highness, we brothers were reckless and should not have disobeyed our superiors. Please punish us!"
Yu Chi Ling snorted coldly, not saying anything more to him, but only ordering Wen Mo, who was watching the commotion with great interest, "Bring the scroll that the Third Miss gave me, and let the two young masters take a look!"
Actually, Wenmo wasn't just watching the show; it was just that the two Ye brothers were really too funny. Who would start a fight with their own people when they were looking for trouble? It made it impossible for outsiders to know who to approach if they wanted to break up the fight!
He suppressed a laugh as he went to the cabinet, took out the scroll he had received that day, and handed it to Ye Shiting.
Ye Shiting didn't understand what Yuchi Ling meant, and opened the scroll with a puzzle in his heart.
Ye Shijun also craned his neck to look at the scroll.
The two brothers were completely bewildered by the entire passage of scripture.
Yet they were intimately familiar with the handwriting of the scriptures.
"Watch the tail end!" Yu Chi Ling reminded him coldly.
Ye Shiting quickly unfolded the scroll to the end.
Yu Chi Ling spoke again, "This was specially copied for me by the Third Miss. Judging from the words, do you think I hold a grudge against the Third Miss for ruining someone's marriage?"
The two brothers were speechless as they looked at their younger sister's words of gratitude to Prince Cheng.
To have someone copy scriptures for you must mean that person has done you a great favor. If my younger sister wasn’t extremely grateful to Prince Cheng, she would never have devoted herself to copying such a long scripture.
Furthermore, regarding the hatred stemming from a broken marriage, with this scripture as witness, it seems that all hatred is a joke...
Seeing the two brothers looking at each other in bewilderment, Wenmo couldn't help but speak up, "Young masters, you've really misunderstood. It was the Third Miss who wanted to break off the engagement with the Wei family, and it was also the Third Miss who insisted on marrying no one but my Prince. My Prince is a gentleman, not the kind of shameless villain who would ruin someone's marriage! As for those rumors outside, they are just malicious people trying to ruin my Prince's reputation. Don't fall for their tricks! If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask the General. He knows everything."
Ye Shijun finally calmed down.
After calming down, he looked embarrassed, his face flushed with shame, and he didn't dare to look up at the person behind the desk.
Just as I was pondering how to apologize, I heard a command coming from behind the desk—
"Wenmo, Young Master Ye has failed to distinguish right from wrong, trespassed into the Prince's residence, and committed insubordination. Take him away and give him ten strokes of the cane!"
