Chapter 1039 Brewing (6)
Ye Mei stared intently, then suddenly smiled again, saying, "She is truly blessed with good fortune, and also truly blessed with luck."
"But sister," Ye Ke looked at her, "Why did you let the Ye family kill the Princess of Rui? Was it really because you wanted to take over the Prince of Rui's mansion? I always feel that this decision was hasty and a little poorly thought out."
Ye Mei paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "If I say that the first time I saw her, I felt that I didn't want her to live in this world, would you believe me?"
Ye Ke was stunned, but Ye Mei was still lost in her own thoughts.
When she first arrived in Longye with the Ye family, Xie Yuan had just returned from a hunting trip in Imperial City. Ye Maocai had given her the antidote, asking her to pretend to have accidentally uncovered the wanted list and come to the rescue. Naturally, the Ye family's ability to provide the antidote meant they were likely responsible for Prince Rui's injury. If Ye Mei had come to the rescue as a member of the Ye family, suspicion would inevitably be drawn towards the Ye family. It would have been more logical to claim she was seeking a relative, and then discover she was a member of the Ye family.
Ye Maocai wanted to use Ye Mei to get into Prince Rui's Mansion. Ye Mei was beautiful and was Xie Yuan's savior. The longer she stayed in Prince Rui's Mansion, the more natural some things would happen.
Ye Mei met Prince Rui Xie Yuan at that time.
Ye Mei couldn't say she loved or disliked men. She was ambitious and resourceful, and men were tools to achieve her goals. If she found someone better, she would just switch. To her, just as a beautiful woman needed gorgeous clothes, precious jewelry, and a wealthy house, she naturally needed a noble husband.
Xie Yuan was the best person she had ever met since she grew up.
He was young, yet he held a high position of power and influence, possessing a charming and handsome appearance. Even lying quietly, his natural elegance would attract attention. Furthermore, Ye Mei had learned from Ye Maocai that Xie Yuan was a very resourceful and powerful man. It was natural for her to want to possess such a good man, but Xie Yuan's indifference only made her want to conquer him even more.
Ye Mei had heard that Xie Yuan had a princess, but she had never met her. Knowing that the woman was the daughter of a Ming Qi general, she was quite disapproving. She considered the daughter of a general uncouth and unrefined, having come all this way alone, without support. Ye Mei didn't even think she was qualified to be her rival.
Until the moment she saw Shen Miao.
There was still some dirt on Shen Miao's clothes, her hair was messy, and her face looked dusty, but she stood in front of Ye Mei, facing the light, with a dignified and majestic posture, like a domineering beast, declaring her sovereignty.
Obviously Ye Mei was the most glamorous one, while Shen Miao was the most embarrassed one.
But at that moment, Ye Mei had an absurd feeling, as if even if she used up all her strength, she would not be able to snatch even a little bit from the woman in front of her.
In the days that followed, Shen Miao was quite cold towards her, and occasionally Ye Mei could even sense a faint disgust and hatred.
But since ancient times, women's feelings have been relative. Not only did Shen Miao feel uncomfortable with her, but Ye Mei also felt uncomfortable with Shen Miao.
I heard that Shen Miao had the love of her parents, the care of her elder brother, friends and sisters, and Xie Yuan's love for her. Although it was a cold war, bystanders knew best. If there was no love, why would there be a cold war? It was clearly love to the bone, and every move would involve his own emotions.
The more she compared them, the more she felt resigned. Why should all the good things in the world be enjoyed by Shen Miao alone? She was aloof and straightforward, not a spoiled child, so how could she possibly win Xie Yuan's favor?
The most unbearable thing is that people who are worse off than you are live better. Ye Mei is jealous and disgusted. She loves to snatch other people's things and make them her own. But it seems that it is very difficult to snatch Shen Miao's things.
What should we do then? Just let Shen Miao disappear.
So Ye Mei told Ye Maocai that only if Shen Miao died and Xie Yuan's position as princess remained vacant, she would be sure to win Xie Yuan's heart.
Rather than saying that Ye Mei wanted to snatch Xie Yuan away, it would be better to say that Ye Mei just couldn't bear to see Shen Miao living a better life than her, and Ye Mei didn't want to lose to Shen Miao.
Ye Maocai had always wanted to get Ye Mei to marry into Prince Rui's palace, so he finally agreed.
But who would have thought that Shen Miao was not dead, and that someone would actually be willing to risk their life to protect her. Furthermore, because of the Ye family's rash actions, Xie Yuan seemed suspicious and kept a close eye on the Ye family. Ye Maocai even took his anger out on Ye Mei because of this.
Ye Mei had never failed to get what she wanted in her life. She exploited every available person to achieve her goals, and she was adept at stealing things from others, whether it was objects, people, or even hearts.
But he hit a wall with Shen Miao.
She couldn't snatch away Shen Miao's man, nor could she snatch away Shen Miao's life, nor could she snatch away Shen Miao's good luck.
