Chapter 1864 The Sickly Young Master's Beautiful Wife for Marriage 18

Ye Yuci's face turned cold the moment Jinchen left. The tail of his slender eyes was like a sharp scimitar, glancing down at Da Niu who was trying to commit suicide but failed.

"Tie him up and take him to the woodshed. I will interrogate him slowly."

"Yes, young lady."

Duoyu immediately waved for someone to come and help, not daring to be vague.

In the woodshed.

At Ye Yuci's signal, a pot of boiling bubbling water was boiled where Daniu was kneeling, and servants kept adding firewood.

Even in winter, it was terribly hot in the narrow woodshed.

Da Niu lowered his head, with drops of sweat dripping onto the ground. There were also a few short knives and daggers scattered around him, which Ye Yuci had someone search out of his arms.

His voice was hoarse, as if speaking was a very difficult thing, and his bulging scarlet eyes stared at Ye Yuci fiercely.

"I just want to kill the young master! I'm looking for an opportunity!"

Ye Yuci raised his cold eyes slightly, and his voice was as cold as a stream in winter, "It's honest."

"Then who ordered it?"

The big bull bent his thick neck, which was red from the heat, again and panted, but said nothing.

"Hey, you! The young lady is asking you a question!" Duoyu wiped the sweat off his face and blamed him unhappily, "Has our Jin Mansion not treated you well?"

Ye Yuci rubbed his slender knuckles on his sleeves a few times, lowered his eyes and said, "If you don't want to tell me, then go to the pot and think about it. After all, today is the day when the distinguished guest arrives, and I have plenty of time to waste on you."

Da Niu's pupils constricted as he glanced at the boiling water pot. The hemp rope tied around his body made it impossible for him to commit suicide.

People who work in the woodshed know best that boiling water of this degree will not scald a person to death instantly, but will cook a person alive, and death will only occur when the skin and flesh are cooked through.

"If you tell me now, I can let you die more easily." Ye Yuci curved her phoenix eyes, but her eyes were so cold that Daniu shivered inexplicably.

"Yes Yes……"

Daniu bent his back deeply, closed his eyes and said, "It's Master Sheng."

Ye Yuci didn't know him, nor had he heard of any Lord Sheng in Chuanze City. He just glanced at Duoyu lightly.

"Keep an eye on people."

Duoyu said, "Young Madam, aren't you going to report this to the Madam?"

"With the arrival of the young marquis, there are many more spies in the mansion."

Ye Yuci left, casually turning the jade ring Jinchen had given her on her knuckles, "Don't let family disgrace be made public."

Just as he reached the door of the woodshed, he suddenly heard the rough roar of the big bull behind him, as if mocking: "Young Master, you won't live long!"

"He is seriously ill, and now he is just recovering from his illness! He will die sooner or later!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Duoyu kicked him angrily, "You want to die? Curse the young master!"

Ye Yuci stopped in his tracks, his heart seemed to be suddenly strangled, and he lost all reason and calmness.

"Jinchen is dead, and Lord Sheng will take revenge... Ugh!"

Ye Yuci turned around expressionlessly, picked up the dagger on the ground and stabbed it into Daniu's eye socket, blood splattering.

The two servants and Duoyu in the woodshed were suddenly shocked and dared not breathe.

Duoyu was smart and quickly closed the door of the woodshed again.

The bull's scream of pain was too harsh, so Ye Yuci fiercely pulled out the dagger and threw it on the ground casually, his phoenix eyes deep and dark.

"Jinchen will not die. Those who want him to die should die."

Ye Yuci spoke softly, in the invisible fear of Daniu, like a ghost demanding his life.

After saying this, he turned around and walked away. There was a faint panic in his phoenix eyes that was well hidden, known only to him.

Back at Luochun Courtyard, Jinchen was sitting under the plum tree, studying the invitation on the stone table.

Hearing hurried footsteps, Jinchen looked up in confusion, "Ah Ci, what's going on...eh."

Before I could finish asking the question, I found my trembling husband in my arms.

"What's wrong? Did that cow say something it shouldn't have said and make our Ah Ci angry?"

Jinchen let Ye Yuci sit on him, hugged her, pinched the back of her neck, and kissed her cheek.

After coaxing him like this for a while, Ye Yuci looked up at him, her voice choked with sobs.

"Daniu said he was Mr. Sheng's man, and he received orders and money to kill you, and he also said that you..."

Ye Yuci, who had lived through two lifetimes and truly believed in ghosts and gods, did not dare to utter the following words.

He had wasted a lifetime of suffering to finally get redemption, and what would happen if the wandering ghosts heard it and really took her husband's life?

Even if Ye Yuci didn't say it, Jinchen could guess it.

It's nothing more than my own body.

"He's talking nonsense, Aci." Jinchen lowered her head and kissed her husband's earlobe, her eyes lowered, filled with gentle light and shadow.

"I won't die. With Ah Ci by my side, I will live a long life with you."

May you live a long life...

In his previous life, Jinchen died on his wedding night, and he was hacked to death after wasting several years in pain.

Living a hundred years is such a tempting blessing.

Ye Yuci lay on Jinchen's shoulder, finally separating from his embrace for a short while, and stood up to look at him, with a lingering fear in her eyes.

"Didn't I tell you before that if I met my destiny with Ah Ci in my dream, my health would get better, as long as you don't leave me."

"I can't." Ye Yuci said quickly.

Jin Chen smiled and gently stroked the red mark on Ye Yuci's neck, "Then what is Ah Ci afraid of?"

Ye Yuci took a deep breath and then saw the invitation on the stone table, "Is this... sent by Young Marquis Duan?"

"Correct."

Jinchen held him and picked up the invitation, "It said that after New Year's Eve, he invited us to his grandfather Liu's house for a gathering. It was some kind of plum blossom viewing party."

There are plenty of wintersweets in Luochunyuan.

But they all knew in their hearts that Ye Zining was now very close to Duan Linfeng, and this plum blossom viewing party invited almost all the children of the famous aristocratic families in Chuanze City.

I'm afraid the drunkard's real intention is not to drink.

Ye Yuci looked at the invitation with disgust, her phoenix eyes lowered to reveal a hint of coldness and contempt.

But since Duan Linfeng wants to set up a stage to perform.

Why doesn't he just go with the flow and make sure the Ye family will never get back on their feet again?

"Okay, Ah Ci, let's not worry about this."

Jinchen put the invitation away casually, hugged Ye Yuci and kissed him again, stroking his slightly arched back with his palm, and said happily: "The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. I heard that mother has already packed up all the New Year's goods that need to be purchased."

"But I still have a lot of things I want to buy. Ah Ci, please go with me to have a look."

Ye Yuci leaned in his arms and naturally agreed, "But many shops are closed now, even ours is not open."

"It's okay. What I want is not on the street. It's in the warehouse."

Ye Yuci opened his eyes wide, "It can't be... Dad's warehouse."

"Ah Ci is so smart."

Ye Yuci was a little hesitant.

He timidly held Jinchen's neck and said, "Husband, if Dad blames us, we will all be scolded."

Jin Jide's aura is so intimidating that it's really scary.

This is what a strict father is.

"My eldest and second brothers will be back tomorrow. They will help me take the blame."

Jinchen is determined.

Ye Yuci: “…”
