There are two such outstanding examples. Princess Yu thought that everyone in the Marquis's mansion, from the old lady to the descendants, should be loyal, brave, and righteous, but the result was so disappointing.

Because Ye Qingxue is outstanding, is the old lady suppressing Ye Qingxue to prevent her from standing out in order to promote the young marquis? The Princess Consort Yu thought to herself, and her face showed obvious anger.

"Qingxue is right. I will take your suggestion into consideration. As for the princess's husband, I will continue to search and will not push my daughter into a pit of fire!" said Princess Yu.

At this moment, she even felt a little scared. If Ye Qingxue hadn't arrived in time, she would have been tricked by her own stereotypes, as well as by the old lady and Ye Cunjin.

Her daughter will suffer in the future, her precious daughter, how can this not be terrifying!

Ignoring the murderous glares from the old lady and Ye Cunjin, Ye Qingxue continued, "Please take back the gift sent by the Princess Consort of Yu. I appreciate your kindness."

"But even if you send this gift as a token of your gratitude, Qingxue may not be able to use it. It would be a shame to disappoint you."

This was a complete overturning of the table, directly exposing the old lady and Ye Cunjin's true colors, leaving them no room for maneuver.

As usual, they were about to reprimand Ye Qingxue, and even subconsciously wanted to invoke family discipline, but the Princess Consort of Yu suddenly swept her cold gaze over, her face full of anger and domineering.

"These two boxes of gifts are from me, the Princess Consort, to Ye Qingxue, the savior of the Princess. Who among you dares to steal them?"

The old lady, her face pale, hurriedly said, "We absolutely did not mean that. The reason we had people carry it away was to send it to Qingxue's Guanju Courtyard. Qingxue harbors resentment towards her second aunt and has mistakenly thought we had ill intentions towards her. Your Highness, please understand."

The old woman cried out and tried to kneel down.

If she succeeds in kneeling, she will be placing Ye Qingxue in a position of filial impiety.

I thought Princess Yu would stop it, or Ye Qingxue would stop it in front of Princess Yu, but neither Princess Yu nor Ye Qingxue did.

The old lady knelt down with a crisp, decisive motion.

Ye Cunjin was shocked and knelt down as well.

The members of the third branch of the family dared not delay and knelt down one after another.

Before long, in the main hall, everyone from the master to the servants of the Marquis's household knelt down in a scattered manner.

Princess Yu looked down at them coldly: "The gifts I gave to Miss Ye Qingxue of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion as a token of my gratitude are now being taken to her Guanju Courtyard. If I ever see these gifts on someone else in the future, I will personally go to the Marquis's mansion to demand an explanation. I hope the old lady and the young marquis will remember this."

The old lady and Ye Cunjin felt both hatred and fear.

The old lady gritted her teeth and said, "That's exactly how it is, Your Highness, please rest assured! Madam Wan, quickly have someone carry the gifts bestowed by Your Highness to Guanju Courtyard!"

Madam Wan immediately arranged for people to handle it.

Princess Yu thought for a moment and then said, "I invite Miss Ye Qingxue to visit the Prince's residence in half a month. If I do not see Miss Ye Qingxue arrive safely in half a month, then I will have no choice but to report the evil deeds of the Marquis's residence to the Emperor."

This was done to protect Ye Qingxue's life.

Today, she has stood up for Ye Qingxue so much that I'm afraid the people in the Marquis's mansion will hold a grudge and bully Ye Qingxue even more, or even take her life.

The inner quarters are dark and gloomy; murders are committed without shedding blood. What wouldn't they do for fame and fortune?

Ye Cunjin's teeth were about to grind to powder.

The old lady broke out in a cold sweat and quickly promised, "Your Highness, rest assured, Qingxue will definitely be able to visit safely in half a month."

"Excellent!" Princess Consort Yu said in a deep voice.

She turned to Ye Qingxue, her tone gentle: "If you have any trouble, just come to the Prince's Mansion to find me. You are the Princess's savior, and therefore the Prince's benefactor!"

"Thank you, Your Highness. Qingxue will remember this." Ye Qingxue curtsied in thanks.

Princess Yu took her hand and smiled, "Half a month from now, I will be waiting for you at the palace. Rongqing misses you very much."

After saying that, she turned and left, followed by a large entourage of guards, old women, and maids.

The main hall of the Marquis's mansion was suddenly half empty. The old lady and Ye Cunjin breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground.

The old lady simply looked at Ye Qingxue quietly without saying anything. After a few breaths, she turned and left.

Back at Fushou Residence, she played with the dagger by her bedside. The dagger was very sharp and could cut hair like mud.

Ye Qingxue must die! She ruined such a good marriage with Jin'er. With her around, the Marquis's mansion will never rise to a higher level!

Even if Princess Yu protects Ye Qingxue, so what? Can't Ye Qingxue suddenly die in an "accident"? Can't she use someone else to do her dirty work?

The old lady's eyes gleamed with a cold light: "Has Cunsi been sent away? Go and call Zhou Shi here. I have something to tell her to do."

In the main hall, after the old lady left, Ye Cunjin was still looking at Ye Qingxue. The two stared at each other from a distance of one zhang, neither giving an inch!

Suddenly, Ye Cunjin smiled, his eyes filled with a cold glint: "Sister Qingxue, you will regret your arrogance today. I will make sure that you and Ye Cunsi have no chance to turn things around."

He had already come up with a way to suppress Ye Qingxue and Ye Cunsi. No, not just suppress them, but ensure Ye Cunsi's death.

Wasn't Ye Qingxue protecting Ye Cunsi? He then killed Ye Cunsi to show Ye Qingxue.

As for the position of Minister of War, although he had longed for it before, he felt that the chances were slim. However, the fact that the Princess Consort of Yu almost married him a princess made him feel that it was within reach!

His desire swelled up instantly, making him determined to get the position no matter what method he had to use!
