Chapter 218 You Like Her
At this time, Ye Chengyao was trapped in a small room, without sunlight. There was only a very small window that allowed a little light to come in.
When he woke up, he vaguely remembered seeing Yunxiang's back and desperately chasing after her. Yunxiang turned into a small alley, and he fainted after following her in...
"Where is this and who are you?"
He was startled at first when he saw someone in front of him.
Gu Ruanci looked at Ye Chengyao's character and thought about the women he had ruined over the years. She wondered if they would feel any comfort if they saw what he looked like now.
"This is a place to help you clean up. After that, you will go to a place that truly belongs to you. As for who I am, can you really not guess?"
Gu Ruanci changed her voice again, using the voice of a middle-aged woman. Ye Chengyao really couldn't think of it for a moment.
"You've harmed so many people, it's normal that you can't remember..."
A thought flashed through Ye Chengyao's mind: "Which maid's mother are you? No, those maids are all family-born children, and their mothers are also in the mansion. It's impossible for me not to know them..."
A trace of panic flashed in Ye Chengyao's eyes. He began to try hard to recall what he had done in the past, trying to find a clue from the fragments of memory.
Gu Ruanci looked at his panic, a cold smile curled up at the corner of her mouth: "You don't have to guess, none of the women you ruined could escape your clutches. Now, you have finally fallen into my hands."
Ye Chengyao didn't give in, but instead threatened: "No matter who you are, if you fall into the hands of the Ye family, you will be made to suffer a fate worse than death, and your entire family will suffer... Although your daughter is dead, you still have other family members..."
Gu Ruanci sneered and said, "Since the Ye family is so powerful, why haven't they found you yet? Is it possible that from the very beginning, they deliberately used the excuse of sending you away to eliminate you, the stain on the Ye family? As long as you are dead, the Ye family will have nothing to worry about..."
Ye Chengyao's face turned pale instantly. He couldn't believe his ears. How could the Ye family abandon him? He was the legitimate son of the Ye family, and the legitimate son of the eldest wife. His father would inherit the title in the future!
But Gu Ruanci's words were like a sharp knife, stabbing into his heart. He began to tremble, not because of fear, but because of anger and unwillingness.
"You're talking nonsense! The Ye family couldn't possibly do this to me! They've loved me for so many years, how could they possibly treat me like a stain!"
Gu Ruanci looked at him, her eyes full of mockery: "So what if I've loved you for many years? What you've done is enough to bring shame to the entire Ye family. Wasn't the Ye family's title demoted because of you? Now you yourself are a person with a disability, and you have long been a disgrace to the Ye family. But you are shameless and have no self-awareness. You dare to keep making trouble in the Ye family. What's the matter with you now? Didn't they send you away? If they really cared about the reputation of the Ye family, they would not let you continue to live."
Ye Chengyao wanted to refute, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he had nothing to say. He had indeed done many bad things and had ruined many innocent women. These were undeniable facts.
He began to feel despair. Was his life going to end like this?
"Who are you? Tell me, tell me!"
He was really scared and worried that he would die.
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door, and then a man in black walked in.
He looked at Ye Chengyao, who was extremely fragile in the dim light, with no emotion in his eyes.
"Master, everything has been arranged..."
Gu Ruanci nodded, looking at Ye Chengyao with a look of satisfaction in her eyes: "Ye Chengyao, your doomsday has come."
The man in black instantly moved to Ye Chengyao and slashed his neck with a knife.
Ye Chengyao fainted and was taken out of the cabin to a place he had never seen before.
There, there is the punishment he deserves and the fate he cannot escape.
Gu Ruanci instructed, "Changsong, make sure he's alive and sober these days."
Chang Song responded: "Don't worry, County Master, I will complete the task."
After Gu Ruanci left here, he went directly to the teahouse.
In the private room, Lu Enyan was already waiting.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting, my Lord."
Lu Enyan said, "It's difficult for ordinary people to see the county lady. Today, I have the honor of being used as a shield by the county lady. It's a great honor..."
Gu Ruanci chuckled and said, "Your Highness, you're joking. The Ye family can actually guess that what happened today was my doing. I invited Your Highness here not to cover up, but to provoke..."
Lu Enyan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said, "In any case, it is my honor to be able to help the county lady. I just wonder what the county lady's next plan is?"
A hint of coldness flashed across Gu Ruanci's eyes as he said, "Ye Chengyao has committed countless evil deeds. Now that he's in my hands, I naturally won't let him go easily. However, his sins are so grave that letting him die so easily would be too easy for him."
Lu Enyan nodded slightly and said, "The county lady hates evil, I know that."
Gu Ruanci quickly explained, "It's not necessarily directed at everyone. After all, my time and energy are limited. I won't be out there looking for bad guys to deal with all day. I might not even take action against those who continue to degenerate after I've helped them. Everyone has to be responsible for their own choices."
Hearing her say this, Lu Enyan did not object.
After all, he has been keeping a low profile these years. If Gu Ruanci had not saved his life, he would have handed over the intelligence network he founded directly to the second prince.
As for Prince Duan's Mansion, the only person he cared about was the princess.
He didn't ask Gu Ruanci what she wanted to do with Ye Chengyao. Sometimes it was still necessary to keep a certain distance.
After Gu Ruanci helped him with the follow-up consultation and treatment, she smiled and told him that the recovery rate of the disease would slow down or even stagnate at this stage. These were all normal phenomena, so she told him not to worry and to keep taking the medicine.
Lu Enyan said sensibly, "I understand all of this. More haste makes waste. Also, my condition was too severe before, so the effect was very noticeable. Now that my condition has stabilized, the recovery is naturally not that obvious."
Gu Ruanci nodded, that was indeed the truth.
She gave a few more instructions and prepared to leave.
Lu Enyan watched Gu Ruanci's carriage leave from upstairs, and the servants beside him became a little anxious.
"My Lord, you clearly like the County Lady, why don't you say it?"
Lu Enyan ignored him and said directly, "Is everything arranged over there? Help the county lady erase all traces and don't let anyone find out where Ye Chengyao went."
