Wh...what! Ye Cunjin and Madam Min were shocked, and Ye Yabing was also completely stiff!
The reason is simple: the Sixth Prince is the closest brother to Prince Ding. If the Sixth Prince finds out about Ye Yabing's disfigurement, then it won't be long before Prince Ding finds out.
Ye Cunjin, his face deathly pale, asked, "What does the Sixth Prince want to ask?"
The gatekeeper asked tremblingly, "The Sixth Prince asks, what great show is on display at the Marquis of Zhongyong's residence today?"
Undoubtedly, Ye Qingxue invited the couple to watch the show, so she naturally wanted to tell him that the show was very exciting, which is why the Sixth Prince asked this question.
For the Sixth Prince, it was just a casual question out of curiosity, but for Ye Cunjin, Madam Min, and Ye Yabing, it was a deeply ironic and hurtful remark.
Ye Qingxue's smile grew even more flamboyant: "I forgot to tell you, Minister Ye, that I, a woman from the inner quarters, naturally cannot invite the Sixth Prince. Therefore, I invited him here in Minister Ye's name."
Ye Cunjin's politeness and manners completely crumbled, and he gritted his teeth as he spoke to his sister Ye Qingxue: "Bitch!"
Madam Min had gradually calmed down. She knew what was important and that the most important thing was to go to the front hall to welcome the Sixth Prince and his wife.
The matter in the inner quarters should be suppressed for the time being to prevent it from escalating further. Otherwise, even if Ye Qingxue is injured, they will suffer a great loss of strength, and the fact that Ye Yabing is disfigured will be completely exposed.
After figuring it out, Madam Min's face turned ashen.
She closed her eyes briefly, then opened them again, her gaze as cold as a sharp sword: "Jin'er, have Ye Qingxue leave. You go to the front hall to greet the Sixth Prince and his wife. Leave these guards and Ningcui Pavilion to me."
Ye Cunjin was so angry that he was almost heartbroken, but he also knew how to make a choice. He sheathed his sword, bowed to Madam Min, and said yes.
Staring intently at Ye Qingxue, he lowered his voice and said, "You won't live much longer. Just wait! I'll tear you to pieces!"
"That depends on whether you have the ability," Ye Qingxue said coldly. "You defeated opponent."
Ye Cunjin wanted to kill her again. In all his life, he had never been so crazy as to want to kill someone again and again. Ye Qingxue did it!
But in the end, he just snorted coldly and turned away!
He took several guards with him outside Ningcui Pavilion, while the rest of the guards continued to watch over Ningcui Pavilion and await Madam Min's orders. No one was allowed to step into Ningcui Pavilion without Madam Min's permission.
Seeing Ye Cunjin leave, Ye Qingxue said, "Xiangsizi, we should also leave. Aren't you going to give Aunt Liu acupuncture later? After this acupuncture, Aunt Liu should be better! She must know how my father died nine years ago!"
After saying that, Ye Qingxue turned and walked out. Bai Qi cleared the way for her outside, and none of the guards standing in rows dared to stop her.
Summer green, autumn deep and winter white, follow behind her, always protecting and caring for her.
Xiang Si Zi was stunned. When did he ever say that another acupuncture treatment would make Aunt Liu better?
However, he didn't think much of it. Ningcui Pavilion was too dangerous, so he quickly caught up with Ye Qingxue's departing steps.
Ye Yabing was filled with rage. Not only had Ye Qingxue barged into her Ningcui Pavilion, but she could also leave unscathed! Even her elder brother and second aunt were helpless against her. Was she a devil?!
Ye Yabing didn't notice that Madam Min, who had been gently embracing her, froze after hearing the news that Aunt Liu would recover after acupuncture.
How could Aunt Liu, who had been tormented by Ye Xiaowei for so many years, possibly get better? How could she possibly recover!
"Second Aunt, what should we do now? So many people have seen my face, what should we do?" Ye Yabing's voice interrupted Madam Min's thoughts, and she suddenly came back to her senses.
"Furthermore, even the world-renowned physician Xiangsi Zi can't cure my face. How can I marry Prince Ding? He'll despise me!"
Ye Yabing cried like a child in Madam Min's arms, "And Ye Qingxue, she killed me, is this how it ends? I'm not reconciled, I'm not reconciled!"
Madam Min held her shoulders, trying to calm her down: "Don't panic, there will definitely be a solution. If you lose your composure, your whole life will be in chaos."
She helped Ye Yabing to a chair and pressed her down into it: "Be quiet for a while. I'll tell you what to do after I've dealt with these people!"
Granny Hu had already brought a veil and put it on Ye Yabing, so now no one could see her face.
Madam Min walked into the courtyard, where there were about twenty guards. She told them that Ye Yabing had no scars on her face; what they saw was just Ye Yabing's special way of taking care of her face.
Then, in front of everyone, she stabbed the guard who had been closest to Ye Yabing and had the clearest view of Ye Yabing's face to death.
Her hands were stained with blood, her eyes icy cold. "Anyone who dares to go out and say anything bad about the Second Miss's face will suffer the same fate as him! As long as the word gets out, I don't care who spreads it, everyone here today will die!"
She summoned the remaining nineteen guards and made them memorize their faces one by one. She also had Hu Mama write down all their names to form a complete list before allowing them to carry away the dead guard.
Madam Min instructed Hu Mama to deal with the guard's family and prevent them from causing trouble: "Give his family two hundred taels of silver for funeral expenses, and we'll consider it a favor to save his life. If they still cause trouble, just say that Ye Qingxue killed him."
Granny Hu agreed and went to get busy.
Ningcuixuan finally quieted down.
Madam Min walked up to Ye Yabing and said, "Judging from Xiangsizi's reaction, Second Aunt is quite certain that there must be someone in the world who is skilled in face-changing, but Xiangsizi just doesn't want to tell us. Perhaps face-changing requires killing people, so he is unwilling to say."
