Knock knock knock!
"Ninth Madam! Ninth Madam! Open the door!"
Ye Ningwan was still asleep. In her dream, she found her parents, and the five of them lived happily together.
In reality, Ye Ningwan rolled over and fell off the bed. When she opened her eyes, she was met with the cold floor and the despairing reality of having lost her only clue.
The bedroom door was pounded so hard that the paint on the ceiling was falling off in a loud crash.
"Ninth Madam, if you don't come out soon, I'm going to break down the door!"
Ye Ningwan frowned, rubbed her bottom, and stood up.
As soon as the door opened, the housekeeper's hand nearly struck her face, but the other woman showed no intention of pulling her hand back.
Just a second before the other person's hand was about to strike her face, Ye Ningwan suddenly grabbed the other person's wrist and slapped the housekeeper hard across the face.
"What are you banging for? Are you trying to call back my soul?!"
The housekeeper was slapped and was so angry that she wanted to retaliate, but Ye Ningwan kicked her hard in the stomach.
"ah--"
With a scream, the housekeeper fell backward and crashed heavily into the group of servants behind her.
In an instant, the sound of bottles and jars hitting the ground and screams rose and fell in the quiet corridor.
The housekeeper's clothes were disheveled, and her hair was loose and haphazardly draped over her shoulders. She struggled to her feet, glaring fiercely at Ye Ningwan in front of her, and roared angrily.
"Ye Ningwan, you're just a substitute bride, how dare you treat me like this! I want..."
Before the housekeeper could finish speaking, Ye Ningwan strode forward, grabbed her hair, pulled her up by the hair, and slapped her several times across the face.
Clap clap clap!
The resounding slap echoed across the face.
"What do you want? Huh? Say something! What are you going to do to me?"
The housekeeper was so dizzy from the beating that her head and ears were ringing. She reached out and tried desperately to crawl forward.
"Help...help me! Help me..."
But Ye Ningwan was too strong, and she couldn't break free at all.
The servants who had come with the housekeeper were also terrified. They stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the housekeeper who had beaten her so badly that she was crawling on the ground. No one dared to step forward to stop her.
Ye Ningwan shook her numb hands before tossing the housekeeper aside like trash, looking down at her with disdain.
"Remember this! I am Pei Fengzhi's legally married wife. Who do you think you are to talk to me like that!"
The housekeeper coughed a few times and spat out a pool of blood foam, in which were a few broken teeth.
She lay on the ground, covering her face and wailing, unable to utter a single word.
Ye Ningwan didn't look at her again, but pointed to the pool of blood on the ground and gave an impatient order.
"Make sure it's clean before you roll!"
Amidst everyone's fearful gazes, she turned to go inside, but before she could close the bedroom door, a suppressed, angry shout suddenly rang out behind her.
"Ye Ningwan!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Ye Ningwan turned around and saw Pei Minghan's younger brother, Pei Minghao, standing in the shadows at the other end of the corridor, staring at her face in disbelief.
"Ye Ningwan, what's gotten into you now?!"
Pei Minghao's tone was full of disdain.
"How dare a slut like you lay a hand on my mother's people? I think you're asking for trouble! You want to kneel in the snow for another day and night?"
Ye Ningwan raised an eyebrow when she saw it was him.
Pei Minghao is the third young master of the Pei family, the younger brother of her former fiancé Pei Minghan. He was spoiled rotten since childhood, and because of the power and wealth of the Pei family, he was fawned over both at home and outside, so he has always been extremely arrogant.
After all, even if someone like him kills someone, there will still be people to cover for him.
When she thought about what had happened, a dark and ambiguous cold light flashed in Ye Ningwan's eyes, disappearing in an instant.
She quickly regained her previous nonchalance and spoke to Pei Minghao in a sarcastic tone.
"Oh, it's Young Master Pei? Am I seeing things? I'm not mistaken, am I? How come it's you? Young Master, what brings you here today to visit me?"
"No way, no way, am I going blind?"
Pei Minghao's expression suddenly changed.
He has always been a favored son of heaven. In recent years, after Pei Jiuye was in a car accident and became a vegetable, the eldest branch of the Pei family has gradually become more powerful and has now secured its position in the Pei family. Pei Minghao, the second son of the eldest branch, has naturally risen in status as well. Who would dare to speak to him like that?
Therefore, even such a small provocation was enough to enrage him.
"Ye Ningwan! Who the hell do you think you are! How dare you speak to me like that? I can kill you as easily as crushing an ant!"
As he spoke, Pei Minghao made a "I'll kill you" gesture towards Ye Ningwan.
Ye Ningwan smiled.
She gently twisted her wrist, stepped over the housekeeper who was lying on the ground unable to get up, and walked step by step toward Pei Minghao.
"Oh? I think the Third Young Master is asking for trouble?"
Since he asked for his own death, then she shouldn't blame her for seeking revenge on him for both old and new grudges!
Ye Ningwan's cat-like eyes seemed to be filled with icy blades; she was smiling, yet it sent chills down one's spine.
As Ye Ningwan approached, Pei Minghao looked at her and inexplicably thought of someone: his unpredictable, cold, and cruel Ninth Uncle, Pei Fengzhi.
Pei Minghao was startled and subconsciously took a few steps back. But then he was unwilling to be so weak in front of Ye Ningwan, so he immediately straightened his neck and glared back fiercely.
"Ye Ningwan, do you really think that just because you've become my Ninth Uncle's woman, I, the young master, won't dare to touch you?"
Ye Ningwan smiled, her smile bright and beautiful.
"Try moving one of them?"
Her smile seemed to illuminate the entire dark corridor with a shimmering light, causing even the usually intoxicated Pei Sanshao to swallow hard.
His fingers twitched.
How come I never noticed before that Ye Ningwan is such a beautiful and charming woman, even surpassing Ye Ruoxin in beauty?
His gaze swept from Ye Ningwan's face to her chest, then lingered on her long legs beneath her nightgown, before he licked his lips.
Snap!
A slap sent his face flying to the side.
"If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out!"
Pei Minghao covered his burning face, his ears ringing, and glared venomously at Ye Ningwan standing in front of him.
"Ye Ningwan, you bitch, how dare you hit me!"
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked ferocious as he prepared to pounce, when Ye Ningwan suddenly kicked Pei Minghao in the shin.
Pei Minghao's knees buckled, and he knelt on one knee in front of Ye Ningwan.
