After being imprisoned in a women's prison for five years, I became a master of both medicine a

"Big brother, are you sure you want to do this?" Ji Xiang hurriedly pulled Ji Xian aside and asked in a low voice.

Ji Xian glanced in Ye Chen's direction, then whispered in his ear the promise made by Grand Tutor Yan.

"Holy crap! The Ji family is about to take off! Big brother, wait here, I'm going to call for help!" Ji Xiang said, and then ran out.

As the most prominent family in Dongzhou, the Ji family is large and prosperous, with more than twenty women of marriageable age.

Ten minutes later, these beautiful women stood in two rows in the middle of the hall, like ancient imperial concubines entering the palace, to be chosen by Emperor Ye Chen.

Standing at the very front were Ji Xian's two daughters, Ji Wanting and Ji Wanqing.

"Dad, are you getting senile? Why are you letting this bastard humiliate us like this? We'd rather die than marry him!"

The other women, who were unaware of the situation, erupted in a frenzy upon hearing this, all shouting that they would not marry him.

Seeing this, Ji Xian gritted his teeth, strode forward, and slapped Ji Wanting and Ji Wanqing once each.

"Shut up, all of you! Xu Xian is such an outstanding young man, what is wrong with him? If anyone dares to utter another word, I will expel him from the Ji family."

"Dad, you..."

Before Ji Wanqing could speak, Ji Xian raised his hand again. No one could sabotage the Ji family's path to the top, not even his own daughter.

At this moment, Ye Chen walked over, deliberately putting on a lecherous look, staring at the women with shining eyes.

"Uncle Ji, can I start choosing a wife now?"

Ji Xian clenched his fist hidden in his sleeve, forced a smile, and nodded.

"Haha, then I won't be polite." Ye Chen rubbed his hands together and walked up to the Ji Wanting and Ji Wanqing sisters first, immediately receiving a look of utter disgust from the two women.

"Slap! Slap!"

Ye Chen flashed behind them and gave each of them a hard whack on their pert buttocks.

The two girls jumped up on the spot, clutching their sores and tears streaming down their faces, exclaiming in utter embarrassment and anger, "What are you doing, you bastard?"

Ye Chen chuckled, "I've heard that big butts are good for childbearing. Let's see if you have any meat on your bones first?" He shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have much meat on my bones. I would never be interested in a woman like that."

As he spoke, he indeed ignored the two of them and went to look at the next woman.

"You... ahhh..."

The Ji sisters were going crazy. Xu Chun was a beast! He actually looked down on them. It was outrageous!

"These teeth are crooked, this hot air balloon is too small, this one is too fat, this one is too thin..."

Ye Chen wandered between the two rows of women, pinching one's face and touching another's waist. He didn't look like he was choosing a wife; he looked more like he was choosing a female slave with good qualities.

Seeing this, the rest of the Ji family were furious. It was an insult, a blatant insult!

After tonight, the Ji family will become the biggest joke in the entire Dongzhou.

However, all their dissatisfaction and insults were suppressed by the cold gazes of the Ji brothers, Ji Xian and Ji Xiang, and they could only swallow their anger.

The younger generation from other families present were incredibly envious. Xu Chun was so lucky; even if they went to a club, they would never dare to order so many princesses at once.

Ye Chen quickly arrived in front of the last woman. He had noticed this extraordinary woman long ago. Not only was her appearance unique among these women, on par with Gu Ning and Qin Yu, but although she was dressed very simply, her aloof and otherworldly temperament was unforgettable.

"If you dare touch me, I'll chop off your claws right now. You can try if you don't believe me." The woman's tone was icy, as cold as her demeanor.

"Ji Qingxue, how dare you speak to Young Master Xu like that? Watch your attitude!" Ji Xian immediately reprimanded.

The aloof woman's tone remained icy. "This is my stance: if he dares to choose me today, it's either him or me!"

As the woman spoke, she pulled out a dagger hidden in her sleeve and pointed it at Ye Chen's throat.

"What are you doing?!"

Ji Xian was both shocked and furious, but Ye Chen's life was in her hands at this moment, and he dared not move an inch.

Faced with Ji Qingxue's threat, Ye Chen remained unmoved. He simply looked at her before him, and some distant memories gradually surfaced in his mind.

After a moment, he murmured to himself, "So it's this girl?"

"Uncle Ji, it's decided, I'll choose her." He turned around and gave Ji Xian a bitter smile.

"Nephew, be careful!" Ji Xian exclaimed, almost scared out of his wits. Before Ye Chen could finish speaking, Ji Qingxue's dagger stabbed at him without hesitation.

However, Ye Chen's speed was much faster than she expected. He simply turned slightly to dodge the sharp dagger, and then struck with lightning speed, flicking his finger at the dagger.

"when!"

Ji Qingxue's hand trembled violently, and the dagger slipped from her grasp.

Before she could react, Ye Chen had already grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

To his surprise, Ji Qingxue did not struggle, but calmly said, "I can't be your wife. If you choose me, you'll only get a corpse."

"Why?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

"Because you are just like Ji Xian and his ilk, ungrateful and treacherous dogs." For the first time, Ji Qingxue's icy voice showed a fluctuation of hatred.

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen trembled. "Could it be that there are still people within the Ji family who are loyal to the Ye family?"

Just as he was wondering, Ji Xian's furious voice rang out, "Ji Qingxue, I want you to obey all of Young Master Xu's orders, or don't blame me for stopping your father's medication!"

Ji Qingxue glanced at him without saying anything, but Ye Chen could clearly feel that the woman's delicate body was trembling slightly.

He was so curious that he picked Ji Qingxue up in his arms and laughed, "Uncle Ji, don't worry, find me a room and let me have a deep conversation with her. I guarantee she'll be completely submissive."

"Alright then, but be careful, this is a rose with thorns," Ji Xian said helplessly.

"Heh, too easy to conquer, I'm not interested."

After saying that, he carried Ji Qingxue and, led by the butler, walked towards a villa behind the reception hall.

As he walked away, many members of the Ji family revealed meaningful smiles.

Ji Wanqing nudged Ji Wanting's arm and whispered, "Xu Chun is really asking for it. He actually chose that ice block. Do you think he can survive tonight?"

"How could that be? That family has always thought that our Ji family's defection from the Ye family to rely on the big shots in Longdu is a shameful betrayal. Now Xu Chun is doing the same thing. I'm afraid he'll be beaten to death on the spot in less than an hour."

Ji Xiang said with a worried expression, "Brother, Xu Chun might be in danger. What should we do? It's all the fault of our men; why did they call her here too?"

With a grim face, Ji Xian ordered, "Send two Foundation Establishment Grandmasters to guard their door. If you notice anything amiss, rush in immediately to rescue them."

At the same time, Ye Chen carried Ji Qingxue to a room and threw her onto the bed.
