Xiao Qin and Song Wan's wedding day is scheduled for the beginning of next month. Since it doesn't need to be a big deal, there is not much to prepare. On the day, all the family members will be there, prepare two tables of delicious food, invite some friends they know, and hire a master of ceremonies to witness them complete the wedding ceremony.
Xiao Hechuan heard Jiang Sui talk about how she went to Ye's house to seek revenge that day, and seeing how vividly she described it, Xiao Hechuan didn't want to disappoint her.
So he told her what happened to Ye Shu later.
She was locked up in the ancestral hall for three days, and became so miserable that she was frightened and fell ill in bed. She hasn't recovered yet, and has nightmares every day and has to take medicine all the time.
After listening to this, Jiang Sui smiled with satisfaction and said it was very gratifying.
Did Ye Shu shoot herself in the foot?
Now Ruxing and Ruyue are both his spies, and the situation in the Ye Mansion can be said to be completely under his control.
Moreover, he did not intend to let Ye Shu have an easy time. The day before yesterday, he met Ruyue privately, and then gave her a bottle of medicine, asking her to put a small amount of it in Ye Shu's food every day. The medicine would not be easily detected by others, as long as the amount was small, it could be said to be colorless and tasteless.
Moreover, it would aggravate Ye Shu's nightmares and make the things she feared in her heart infinitely magnified at the source and in her senses.
She will have trouble sleeping day and night, and if this goes on for a long time, even her spirit will be affected.
Xiao Hechuan wanted to torture her slowly like this. He said that since she didn't want to spend the next two years honestly, he would just play with her.
In the Ye Mansion, Ruxing and Ruyue felt extremely happy every time they saw Ye Shu lying on the bed, having nightmares, sweating profusely, and even talking nonsense.
It would be best if she stayed like this for the rest of her life, so she wouldn't be able to torture others anymore.
Seeing his daughter suffering from nightmares every day, Ye Congwen was not a heartless person and felt somewhat distressed. He invited many doctors and prescribed many medicines, which at most could slightly relieve her pain. However, within two days, the nightmares would worsen.
In just half a month, Ye Shu had been tortured to the point of losing weight, with dark circles under her eyes, and she had not slept well for a single day.
Almost as soon as she closed her eyes she could hear her mother coming to claim her life.
Because Madam Ye died of complications during childbirth, she was less than 20 years old when she died. There were many portraits of Madam Ye hanging in Ye Congwen's room, which Ye Shu had seen.
That time when she was a child, no one knew who wanted to scare her, but it left her with such a big trauma.
Mrs. Ye loved her, no matter what else she did. What she was most worried about before her death was her daughter. She repeatedly told Ye Congwen to treat her well. If there really were ghosts and gods in the world, they would only be protecting her, not scaring her.
When Ye Congwen came to see her, Ye Shu had just woken up. When she saw her father, she started shouting, saying that her mother was coming to take her life and wanted to kill her, and asked him to quickly take her mother's spirit tablet out of the Ye Mansion.
The more she talked, the more outrageous it became. Ye Congwen felt that she might have been possessed. Her mother loved her the most, so how could she harm her?
But seeing how frightened she was, Ye Congwen couldn't bear to say the harsh words that were on the tip of his tongue.
He had no choice but to invite some monks to perform rituals to exorcise the evil spirits for her.
After all the operations, no one knows whether it was useful or not. Anyway, Ye Shu was forced to drink several bowls of talisman water. She started to have diarrhea the next day and was in a mess. It was hard for the two maids, Ruxing and Ruyue, who were serving her. They had to endure the nausea and clean up the dirt for her.
The mage said that Ye Shu was haunted by not just one evil spirit, but several. If she continued like this, she would be drained of her energy. He suggested sending her to a temple outside the city to live for a few months. If she stayed in a place with a lot of incense every day, the evil spirits would not dare to approach her.
Ye Congwen had no choice but to follow the advice, hitched a carriage overnight, packed up his things and sent Ye Shu to a temple outside the city. This way, he could have a few months of peace and quiet.
I hope she is lucky and won't be driven mad by nightmares.
…
As September approaches, Baiyun Academy once again faces the month-end exams. No one has any hope of getting the top spot, as there is always suspense every time.
Ye Congwen has been troubled by his daughter's affairs recently. Originally, it was his turn to set the questions for the academy examination, but he really didn't have the heart to do so, so he asked Mr. Zhongyun to set the questions for him.
After all the teachers have reviewed the students' answer sheets, they will be brought to him for final approval.
If it weren't for Ye Shu, according to the previous rules, the dean Ye Congwen would have to review it first, and then it would be sent to each teacher to review in turn, and finally the ranking would be determined unanimously.
But due to this sudden change, on the first day of the month, the list had not come out yet. Everyone was waiting anxiously. Ye Congwen went to the temple to see Ye Shu, and all the answer sheets had not yet been submitted for final review.
Luo Ming now lives in Ye Mansion every day, so he is naturally aware that the answer papers are still in Ye Congwen's study and he has not had time to read them.
Now, he is the only one in Ye Mansion, and he is also waiting for the final result.
He always wanted to surpass Xiao Hechuan and regain the top position, even if only once.
He didn't want to hear other people talking about him anymore, and he hated the title of "eternal second".
Once a person starts to have false thoughts in his heart, two little people will quarrel in his mind, one representing justice and the other representing the evil thoughts in his heart.
If one's mind is not firm, one will be influenced by evil thoughts and do bad things.
Obviously, the evil thoughts in Luo Ming's heart finally defeated the good thoughts, and he finally chose to step into Ye Congwen's study.
The moment he opened the door, he was panicked and walked towards the desk with trembling steps. On the desk was a thick stack of answer sheets of students who were taking the final exam at the end of August, neatly arranged there.
Luo Ming walked over there and reached out for the pile of answer sheets on the table.
The first one was Xiao Hechuan's answer sheet. He reached out and picked it up to read. It had to be said that Xiao Hechuan's strength was there. His policy paper was indeed well written, with neat handwriting and unique insights.
This made Luo Ming very jealous, and he had to admit in his heart that Xiao Hechuan was stronger and better than him.
But the selfish thoughts in his heart had already arisen, and it was impossible to stop them.
"It's just this time, it won't be a big deal..." He murmured, then spread his answer sheet aside, picked up the ink in the inkstone that had not dried yet, and poured it on.
After he finished all this, he cleaned up the mess and waited until the ink was completely dry before leaving the study.
