News of Yun Chi's humiliation and reputation damage in front of Ye Qingxue reached Ningcui Pavilion.

Ye Yabing returned after delivering the Heartless Fruit to Guanju Courtyard.

Knowing that Ye Qingxue would die today, she didn't want to be there, fearing that she would get herself into trouble and be unable to extricate herself from the situation.

Previously, her elder brother had brought thousands of guards but failed to subdue Ye Qingxue, so she felt that a direct attack on Ye Qingxue would not work. Therefore, after the appearance of the Heartless Fruit, she resolutely chose to use it.

The Heartless Fruit is skilled in using poison. Since Ye Qingxue "stole" her man, she will definitely try to kill Ye Qingxue.

If Ye Qingxue could withstand the guards' attacks, could she also block the all-pervasive poison?

Han Yu told her the news she had inquired about from the front courtyard: "The old lady said that she will announce to the outside world that the eldest daughter is mentally unstable and is a madwoman. His Highness Prince Ding's reputation will be somewhat salvaged."

"I've already sent people to do it. I'm afraid the news that the eldest daughter is a madwoman will spread throughout the entire capital before nightfall."

Ye Yabing sneered, "This method is not bad."

Once the Heartless Fruit kills Ye Qingxue, she will take Ye Qingxue's face, find a man to defile Ye Qingxue, and then throw Ye Qingxue in front of everyone, so that even in death, Ye Qingxue will be despised by thousands.

Only in this way can she vent her anger.

Of course, this can also be seen as revenge for the fifty strokes of the cane that Prince Ding was given that day, and for the humiliation he suffered today.

As for the incident where His Highness Prince Ding suffered a setback in front of Ye Qingxue today... the poison on the cloak was administered by Wuqingguo at her request, and the antidote was also prepared by Wuqingguo.

Her purpose in doing this was to infuriate Prince Ding, making him wish he could immediately come to his door and kill Ye Qingxue.

As long as Prince Ding comes to the door, Ye Qingxue will definitely be summoned, and he will also bring the skilled martial artist Dongbai. Then she can take the Heartless Fruit and take down Ye Qingxue's maid first...

In other words, her actions towards Prince Ding were merely a feint and a diversionary tactic against Ye Qingxue.

She didn't expect the Prince of Ding to kill Ye Qingxue today; her trump card lay in the Heartless Fruit.

"Hanyu, I can be taken care of here by Granny Tu. You go to Guanju Courtyard and keep an eye on things. Come and tell me as soon as you have any results," Ye Yabing said.

Han Yu agreed and quickly disappeared from Ningcui Pavilion, heading towards Guanju Courtyard, where she found a secluded place to hide.

.

Ye Qingxue walked slowly on her way back, as if she was attracted by the newly sprouted buds and blooming flowers of the plants.

We walked slowly, taking our time to appreciate the scenery.

She was walking alone.

When they were almost at Guanju Courtyard, Dongbai caught up with her from another path, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something only they knew.

They finally arrived at the entrance of Guanju Courtyard. The gate was open, and Ye Qingxue and Dongbai both slowed their pace.

They both sensed that the atmosphere in the entire Guanju Courtyard was very oppressive, and there was even a faint murderous aura.

An evergreen leaf drifted down from the tree, landing in front of Ye Qingxue without any wind.

She reached out to catch it, and the emerald green leaf landed steadily in her palm, making her palm appear even whiter and the red line beneath her skin even more glaring.

Dongbai stepped into the courtyard first and said, "Miss, please allow me to go in and see what's going on inside!"

Suddenly, a charming and unrestrained laugh came from the main house, and the laughter drifted through the courtyard as if it were everywhere.

"You two, mistress and servant, are quite perceptive. You've only just stepped outside the courtyard, yet you've already sensed something amiss inside," the woman's voice rang out again, alluring and seductive.

Even though Ye Qingxue was a woman, she felt a chill run down her spine and her ears tingle.

She didn't wait outside the courtyard, but followed Dongbai inside. However, once inside the courtyard, she and Dongbai stopped at the same time, watching the woman walking out of the main house.

She wore a purple dress that clung to her body, outlining her graceful waist. The neckline was quite low, easily revealing a glimpse of her snow-white breasts. She was truly beautiful and alluring, with skin as white as ice and bones as jade.

Her gaze immediately fell on Ye Qingxue: "You must be Ye Qingxue? You are indeed beautiful. No wonder he is so infatuated with you, preferring to stay in this small courtyard rather than leave."

Ruthless Fruit leaned against the door frame, fiddling with the strands of hair at her temples, her smile both charming and cold.

She said, "Ye Qingxue, I've been waiting for you for so long. You've finally come back. If you had been any later, I would have razed this Guanju Courtyard to the ground."

Ye Qingxue's expression remained unchanged: "What do you want with me?"

The ruthless woman suddenly stopped smiling and commanded, "Xiangsi Zi is my man, hand him over!"

Ye Qingxue said, "Xiangsi Zi has gone out on business. Since you've come to find him, please wait a moment. He will be back before dark."

The Heartless Fruit snorted coldly, certain that Ye Qingxue had hidden the Acacia Seeds and was merely deceiving herself.

She said, "You little brat, you actually tried to lie to me?"

"Do you know that two maids and a concubine in your room have been poisoned by me? If you don't obediently hand over the love seeds, I will make them die in front of you!"

"If you don't believe me, you can call their names and see if anyone answers!"

Dongbai was shocked and cried out in a panic, "Spring is pale, summer is green?"

No one answered, and she was about to rush in when the Heartless Fruit lazily raised its hand, "Don't come near, I have more poison on me than just a few people."

Dong Bai was forced to stop and could not go inside the house. He could only glare at the Heartless Fruit with resentment and anxiety.

Ye Qingxue took two steps forward and saw that Wuqingguo was very wary.
