Chapter 16 The Sky Has Collapsed



Then she remembered the maid named Yinyue.

Yin Yue had once beaten up the old woman beside her, so she seemed to be quite skilled. This explains why Ye Zhen was able to escape her scheme and turn the tables.

She had the food returned, but didn't touch it, hoping to gain the Marquis of Zhongyong's pity.

When the letter reached the hands of the Marquis of Zhongyong, he glanced at it briefly and then put it in his pocket, intending to give it to his daughter after returning to the capital.

However, he showed no intention of visiting Lady Hou.

Lady Hou didn't see the Marquis Zhongyong again; instead, she heard that the manor was going to hold a big barbecue feast, and she felt like the sky had fallen.

The Marquis's lavish drinking and eating was a way of telling everyone that it was not his son who had died.

Marquis Zhongyong felt that Ye Zhen was a grateful person.

Lady Hou was unaware that her actions had further angered Marquis Zhongyong.
