I have suffered enough in my previous life, my cousin will never marry me

Chapter 14 Adding fuel to the fire
"Marquis Wuping's Mansion?"

Ye Wanshu frowned tightly.

The trip back to Ji's house was really bumpy, but I was stopped twice on the two-block road.

But I have only been in Lin'an City for about half a year and have no dealings with the Wuping Marquis Mansion. I am afraid it is related to the two brothers.

"Since you're blocking the road, is there something urgent you want to say?"

Ye Wanshu poked her head out in a bad mood and looked ahead: "Go and ask quickly."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yueling led two maids and walked over slowly.

"Miss Ye, I just saw your carriage on Changle Street. I just want to talk to you about something. Could you please give me a favor?" She looked at Ye Wanshu with a smile.

This person was so eager to find trouble that Ye Wanshu was speechless. She sneered and said, "I have nothing to say to you. Please get out of the way immediately."

"What if I don't let you?"

Jiang Yueling glanced at her provocatively, "If I'm not mistaken, Miss Ye, you've heard that the young master, the second young master, and I have entered the Marquis of Wuping's mansion, and you're thinking of seeking support from your powerful father, right?"

"You guessed right, I am indeed going back to the Ji family."

Ye Wanshu's eyes were tinged with anger. "Now that you know my father's name, you should be more tactful. My two cousins ​​are easy to fool, but Marquis Wuping wouldn't offend the Prime Minister for you."

"Of course, of course, I am not as good as Miss Ye, who has a powerful father to rely on."

Jiang Yueling's lips curled into a sarcastic smile. "I don't care what Marquis Wuping does. I only know that the young master and the second young master are willing to go through fire and water for me. Even if you have a ten-year friendship, what does it matter? Isn't it just a word from me that makes them abandon you like a piece of trash?"

"So? You came all this way to find me just to show off your pathetic vanity?"

Ye Wanshu shook her head in disdain. "Miss Jiang, if you truly believed how much they liked you, why would you come to me time and time again to prove how much they cared about you, and even go to such great lengths to gain their sympathy and pity?"

Glancing at her with a lack of interest, Ye Wanshu sneered, "In the final analysis, even you think you're just a pathetic creature who relies on others' pity."

Every word was like a sharp sword, poking at the scar in her heart. Jiang Yueling was so angry that she could hardly hide it: "You, you are..."

"Chunhong, keep going."

Ye Wanshu interrupted her impatiently, "If anyone dares to block our way again, knock them out of the way. I don't believe the Marquis of Wuping's Mansion is so arrogant that they would even dare to block the carriage of the Duke of Guo's Mansion."

Jiang Yueling never thought that she was so arrogant. Seeing that the carriage was about to set off again, she hurriedly chased after it and lifted the curtain.

"Ye Wanshu, why are you so shameless and pestering the young master? He has already promised me to be the Crown Prince's wife. Even if you bring up your father, it will be useless."

Ye Wanshu sneered in disgust, lowered the car curtain, and didn't bother to say anything more.

I don't know what's in her mind. She is still calculating carefully about the things that I have discarded.

However, it would be good for her to know that I was returning to the Ji family. I could go back and add fuel to the fire and speed up the process of the two brothers entering the palace.

Seeing that the carriage had bypassed the Marquis' Mansion and left, Jiang Yueling felt unwilling. She glanced at the two maids beside her, took out two silver ingots from her sleeves, and stuffed them into their hands.

Jiang Yueling smiled meaningfully and asked tentatively, "What did you hear and see just now?"

The two maids exchanged a glance, and the taller one spoke first, "This servant saw Miss Ye secretly giving away jewelry to someone on the street, and even gave all her jewelry to a stranger."

The shorter maid immediately took over the conversation: "Miss Ye rushed back to see the Prime Minister in order to prevent the prince from breaking off the engagement."

Jiang Yueling nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, when we return to the Marquis' Mansion, you will tell us what you heard and saw truthfully, just like you did just now."

The two maids smiled flatteringly and responded in unison.

When the carriage from Prince Yongning's Palace entered Lin'an City, Ji Yuan had already received the news.

He had been planning this marriage since his time in Yuezhou. Now that his eldest daughter had fallen out with the Gu brothers, it shouldn't be difficult for her to accept the Yongning Palace's marriage proposal. To avoid further complications, he decided to bring his eldest daughter back to the palace today to discuss the marriage.

As he walked out of the mansion with two servants, he saw a golden carriage parked in front of the door.

"Wanwan."

Before Ye Wanshu got out of the car, Ji Yuan had already guessed the identity of the person in the car and personally went forward to help the person down.

"But were you bullied in the Duke's Mansion?"

He asked anxiously, and hurriedly explained: "Father was about to send someone to pick you up, but he didn't expect you to come back on your own."

Ye Wanshu originally wanted to play the victim, but the thought of Jiang Yueling being so weak and unable to take care of herself in front of the Gu brothers made her feel really disgusted. She was too lazy to play her tricks and just leaned silently into her father's arms.

Anyway, her father had many eyes and ears, and she believed that everything that happened in the Duke's Mansion must be unknown to her father.

Silence is better than words. Ji Yuan secretly looked at her two maids. Chunhong and Xingtao lowered their heads in confusion. Ji Yuan immediately knew what was going on.

"Those two bastards actually ran away from home for a bitch."

Ji Yuan shouted angrily, then softened his tone. He patted her on the back and said soothingly, "Wanwan, Dad heard that Duke Rong has entered the palace. Don't worry, Dad will go to see the emperor today and ask His Majesty to make a decision for you."

Ye Wanshu responded obediently, "Thank you, Dad."

Ji Yuan anxiously ordered the servant, "Take the young lady back to the room and let Concubine Zhou take good care of her."

After saying this, he smiled at Ye Wanshu again, "Wanwan, go back to your room and rest first. Father will be back from the palace to have dinner with you."

"it is good."

Ye Wanshu watched him get into the carriage, then followed the servant into Ji's mansion.

Ever since she left the Ji family with her mother, she had not known about the situation of the Ji family. However, she had heard her aunt mention that the one who was now in charge of the family in her mother's place was Aunt Zhou, who had bullied her mother the most.

Although there are still some childhood traumas, things are different now. The Ji family still relies on her to make friends with powerful people, so they are not worried that this woman dares to do anything to her openly.

As soon as I entered the courtyard and reached the entrance of Langfang, I saw Aunt Zhou walking out in bright clothes, wearing a peony red dress with wide sleeves, dressed up very gorgeously.

Even after more than ten years, that fair and delicate face still retains its charm, without any trace of the ravages of time.

Among the group of people following Aunt Zhou, there was a woman who was almost the same size as Ye Wanshu. She was most impressed by her because she was Aunt Zhou's daughter Ji Ningxi.

"Are you Wanwan?"

Aunt Zhou stood there in surprise, looking at Ye Wanshu for a long moment before walking forward.

Looking at the graceful young lady, and then comparing her with the girl under his knees, they are clearly of the same father's blood, but their temperaments are completely different. One is like the bright moon in the sky, and the other is just like the grass and trees in the mortal world, extremely mediocre.

When she thought about how she had won the master's favor because she looked somewhat like her short-lived mother, Aunt Zhou could hardly hide her resentment.

But she knew the master's intention of bringing the legitimate daughter back home, so she quickly concealed the hatred that appeared in her eyes and spoke with a tone of great sympathy.

"You, child, haven't come back home for so many years. Your father and sisters are very worried about you. I was also worried that you were not living well outside, so I persuaded the master to take you back a long time ago."

"Really?" Ye Wanshu pursed her lips. "I miss you all too, so I'm not leaving this time."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhou's face froze, and she replied with a forced smile, "That's how it should be, that's how it should be, a family should be together."

Ji Ningxi remained silent, looking at the master and servants with interest, and suddenly frowned in displeasure.

"Big sister, you came home to see us for the first time, but you came empty-handed?"
