Chapter 104 My Enemy is Her

The Pei and Ye families were, after all, prominent families in the capital. Regardless of their children's current status, their wedding banquets were lavish and well-attended. Pei Yuanzhong was also a prominent figure in the court, having assisted three generations of emperors. The imperial family had to show some respect, and so Xie Chengyan and Xie Chengyuan also received invitations.

Even Xie Zhaohe, who had been at loggerheads with him over political affairs a few days ago, received the letter. However, because his headaches had become more frequent recently, he asked people from the Imperial Hospital to take care of him. He actively asked Lu Qianshan to take care of the marriage between the Pei and Ye families.

In the Dayin Kingdom, women of good family backgrounds were expected to marry out of their homes. Ye Qingshang, waited on by the servants in the mansion, woke up early to start dressing. Madam Ye was originally under house arrest, but since it was her daughter's wedding day, it was logical that her mother should be the one to do her hair.

Furthermore, family disgrace should not be made public. No matter what conflicts there are in the family, they cannot be seen by outsiders. Ye Zhixing also thought of this, so he temporarily released Madam Ye from house arrest.

Looking at the graceful Ye Qingshang in the mirror, Madam Ye felt a pang of bitterness in her nose, wondering how her beautiful daughter could have ended up like that.

Ye Qingshang saw the loss in her mother's eyes through the mirror and said softly, "Mother, I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill my filial duties after marrying into the Pei family."

As soon as these words came out, both mother and daughter burst into tears. Madam Ye held Ye Qingshang's hand and said, "It's all your father's fault. If he hadn't insisted on marrying into the Pei family, you wouldn't have ended up like this."

"No." Ye Qingshang denied her mother's words, holding Madam Ye's hand, and said, "It was Ye Lanzhou. She framed me! My brother said that she was the one who caused the Ye Anyun incident. If it weren't for her, Pei Song and Ye Anyun would have been together long ago. Later, she and father framed me, making him rush to marry me off."

"Mother, my enemy is Ye Lanzhou!" Ye Qingshang emphasized again, turned her head to look into her mother's eyes, and said firmly: "She framed us, mother and daughter!"

Ye Lanzhou had also been awakened by the bustling commotion of the servants. It was still dark, and countless lanterns hung in the courtyard of the Ye Mansion, illuminating it like daylight. Shangjing had already entered the depths of winter. Ye Lanzhou had just woken up when he sneezed several times, fearing he had caught a cold. He quickly put on two more layers of clothing.

Hearing the noise inside, Hong Luo knocked on the door and came in. He handed her a cup of hot tea and said, "There's news about Wangshu."

Ye Lanzhou was surprised and delighted. Although the girl usually spoke without restraint, Wangshu never disobeyed her orders. Her lively personality made her very interesting to interact with. Ye Lanzhou immediately asked, "Where is she?"

"Dead." Hong Luo replied indifferently.

The smile on Ye Lanzhou's lips froze. She expected that something had happened to Wangshu, but she didn't expect that he was dead, and died so suddenly.

Hong Luo continued, "What happened at Wanhe Tower that day, Young Master Ye realized that it was Wangshu who reported the secret, so he tied Wangshu up that night and beat him with dozens of boards until he died."

Ye Lanzhou's hand paused, and the hand holding the teacup trembled unconsciously. She and Wangshu had not known each other for a long time, but he was one of the few people she trusted, and he was killed by Ye Lingchuan.

The Ye Mansion is really not a good place. First, they took away her mother, and then they took away Wangshu.
