Chapter 1880 The Sickly Young Master's Beautiful Wife for Marriage 34

Recently, rumors have been circulating in the capital that the powerful Prince Li is planning a rebellion.

He secretly recruited aides who also wanted to rebel without telling the current emperor, and even raised private soldiers outside the capital.

But the rumors were vague and varied, with no specific source, and after they reached the palace, they actually gained some credibility.

Since ancient times, emperors have been the most suspicious by nature.

Jin Yudong received a reply from his subordinates. The emperor summoned Prince Li to the palace overnight and talked with him in the imperial study for nearly an hour. When Prince Li left, his face looked very ugly.

Since he has already become suspicious, according to the agreement with his younger brother Jinchen, what Jin Yudong has to do is to add fuel to the fire and make the emperor completely believe that Prince Li has the intention of rebellion.

Jin Yudong and five loyal civil servants wrote letters to the emperor one after another, and the emperor finally sent secret guards to investigate the matter privately. After a few more days, the rumors became more and more fierce, and even the place where Prince Li kept his private soldiers was revealed.

Kawazawa Castle.

The rich city where the Jin family, the world's number one imperial merchant, lives.

Even the secret guards who were investigating reported back that Prince Li's staff and disciples were also making frequent moves, entering and leaving Chuanze City very frequently.

This made the emperor more and more suspicious and he flew into a rage, but he remained calm on the surface in order to dispel Prince Li's vigilance.

In early June, the emperor secretly dispatched an imperial envoy, together with Jin Yudong, back to Chuanze City to investigate the matter thoroughly. At the same time, he bestowed a yellow jacket on them, stating that if the matter was true, they could be executed first and reported later.

Ye Zining helps an unknown man in gray to do things and places a beautiful woman undercover in the Liu family's backyard in exchange for food that is barely enough to feed and clothe the family.

But there was no sign of fulfilling the promised huge sum of money as agreed in advance. Ye Zining finally couldn't hold back and brought up the matter when he met the man in gray again.

On this day, Ye Zining said it in an almost pleading tone, feeling embarrassed and ashamed, but he was no longer the eldest son of the Ye family, and face could not buy survival.

He also wants to seek revenge on Ye Yuci.

Huiliu: "It just so happens that my master also wants to see you, so come with me back to the mansion to ask for the reward money."

I don’t know if it was Ye Zining’s illusion, but I always felt that the word “reward money” had a deeper meaning. However, when I looked into it carefully, I couldn’t find anything else strange.

It was not until he followed Huiliu to the Jin Mansion that he saw Jinchen again in the Luochun Courtyard, lazily leaning against a bamboo vine, drinking and enjoying the cool air.

The raging waves came like a tide, causing Ye Zining to almost lose all ability to think in an instant, and his whole body was filled with chills.

But then, Ye Zining had another guess, and a tiny hope ignited in his cold and dead heart.

He clenched his fists hopefully, and even straightened his now rather disheveled appearance before slowly approaching.

"Jin... Young Master, long time no see."

Jinchen glanced at him lazily, and seeing that her husband had gone to get the plum wine but had not come out yet, she stood up and sat up straighter.

"Master Ye, how are you? You look a lot more miserable than before. Yes, I heard that you became a beggar."

Ye Zining was choked for a moment, and said with a self-deprecating tone, but also with other meanings, "I don't know people well enough."

"But Master Jin, the people around you are vicious and scheming. Have you never noticed it?"

Jinchen spoke delicately: "Are you talking about my husband?"

Ye Zining took a few steps forward, feeling very unhappy and even vaguely regretful.

"It was him. You don't know it yet. He was the one who planned to have my entire Ye family executed. He wanted me to live a life worse than death and have me beggared on the street!"

Jin Chen was a little interested when he heard this: "What does Master Ye mean by this?"

"My husband and I suffer together. How could I not know what he did?"

"What……"

Ye Zining was stunned for a moment, the last bit of hope in his heart shattered. He asked in disbelief, "Didn't you arrange for that gray-clothed man to rescue me? Didn't you want me to have a chance of survival?"

Jinchen thought for a moment and asked calmly, "Why do you think I'm a good person?"

【That’s a huge misunderstanding! 】

Ye Zining tried hard to maintain a smiling expression, but his eyes suddenly turned red and filled with resentment.

"Can……"

"But I was supposed to be the one you married."

"Ye Yuci took away everything from me!"

Jinchen: "..."

Jin Chen was overjoyed and said sarcastically, "Master Ye, it's too late to say these things now. What's more, I was so sick at that time that you couldn't even escape in time."

"I…I don't want to either."

Ye Zining was filled with regret. Suddenly, he thought of something and said hurriedly, "But didn't the Taoist priest say that I am the most suitable person to bring you happiness?"

Jinchen leaned back and looked at her husband who was walking quietly behind her with a little grievance, "Aci, this guy is talking nonsense here."

Ye Zining kept silent subconsciously.

The shadow left by Ye Yuci outside the empty house that day was so deep that he still feels fear to this day.

But when he thought of what he had just said, he felt very confident. He raised his chin slightly and looked back at Ye Yuci's cold eyes.

"Am I wrong? Ye Yuci, although you were born only a few hours later than me, things like birth dates and horoscopes are not something you can replace just because you want to."

Jinchen looked at Ye Yuci's expressionless face, keenly smelled something sour, and a slight curve appeared on the corner of his lips. He thought to himself that his husband was not someone who was easy to bully.

Ye Yuci glanced at Ye Zining lightly, ignoring his provocative words, and placed the white porcelain wine pot on the small table, pouring out the pink plum wine.

Then, Ye Yuci sat in Jinchen's arms with a glass of wine in hand, and lowered her cold voice, "My husband shouldn't have met him here. He has polluted the cleanliness of Luochun Courtyard for nothing."

After saying that, he put the wine glass against Jinchen's lips, lowered his eyes and watched him drink it. The clear wine inevitably stained the corners of his lips. Jinchen raised his eyebrows slightly, hugged Ye Yuci's waist tightly in his arms, and his eyes were filled with interest.

Ye Yuci pursed her lips slightly, hooked her arms around Jinchen's neck, let her long, dark hair slide down his slender shoulders and neck, and licked the wine from his lips clean.

Ye Zining: “…”

Ye Yuci is such a shameless and vicious husband!

The unreasonable anger devoured his reason, as if Ye Yuci had really taken away something most important to him. He was so angry that he couldn't breathe smoothly.

Ye Yuci knew very well that Jinchen should not go too far in teasing her, otherwise she would be the only one to suffer. She felt the arm restraining her waist suddenly tightened, and hurriedly pushed his shoulder.

When their lips parted, she could clearly see the smile in Jin Chen's eyes, as if he was saying -

This method is very good, you can do it more often.

Ye Yuci's earlobes turned slightly red, and she poked his face unhappily before sitting up from his arms. Her phoenix eyes still contained a hazy affection as she glanced coldly at Ye Zining.

"Cousin, since I've saved your life, it should be of some use."

"Now that the imperial envoy is about to arrive in Chuanze City, your mission is completed. As for the reward..."

Ye Yuci smiled unintentionally, "Look behind you."
