Chapter 122 isn't about you.
Ye Xuan stood there, increasingly irritated by the sight of the servants lying on the ground in the courtyard.
"Why has it been so long and no one has come yet?"
Thinking of the situation in the Imperial Study and at the palace gate, Ye Xuan became increasingly agitated. If things continued like this, everyone would likely suffer.
The guards who came with Ye Xuan were already somewhat frightened by the sudden situation.
"My lord, the steward has arrived with the Regent's wife and His Highness the Regent!"
A guard spotted Ye Qingwu and quickly reported to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan snorted lightly, "At least this wretched girl knows what's important! But..."
"His Highness the Regent has come too?" Ye Xuan looked up and saw a handsome young man standing next to Ye Qingwu. His expression was slightly gloomy, and his gaze toward them was filled with displeasure.
"Duke Ye, could you please repeat what you just said?"
Before Ye Xuan could step forward, he heard Zhan Sijing's voice, which contained a warning tone.
Ye Xuan trembled. Being stared at by the regent made him feel a strange sense of fear.
It seems that His Highness overheard what he had just said.
If it were just Ye Qingwu here, it wouldn't be so bad, but with Zhan Sijing accompanying her, the situation has become quite complicated.
Moreover, Yuan Feng still needs Ye Qingwu's treatment.
Not only Zhan Sijing, but Ye Qingwu also heard Ye Xuan's words. Her eyes narrowed slightly, her gaze filled with mockery, "Lord Duke, it seems your memory is really bad. Who are you calling this 'wicked girl'?"
Ye Xuan's expression froze, especially when faced with Ye Qingwu's questions. He didn't know how to answer. If he said that he was talking to Ye Qingwu, it would be tantamount to slapping himself in the face.
Moreover, with this regent in power, he still needs Ye Qingwu in some way.
Thinking of this, Ye Xuan could only suppress his dissatisfaction and reply to Ye Qingwu.
"Your Highness, I was not referring to you."
Ye Qingzhu, who had come with Madam Su, was about to step forward when she heard Ye Xuan's words. In the Duke's mansion, Ye Xuan only had two daughters, her and Ye Qingwu. If the "wicked daughter" he was referring to wasn't Ye Qingwu, then it must have been her.
But how can this be...!
Ye Qingzhu's face flushed red with anger, and she was trembling with rage.
She tried to rush over, but was stopped in time by Su.
"Mother, what are you doing!"
Su took Ye Qingzhu away first, fearing that Ye Qingzhu might do something uncontrollable.
Only after arriving at a slightly secluded place did Madam Su release Ye Qingzhu's hand. "I still want to ask you what you did. You saw what happened just now."
“But Father…” Ye Qingzhu became angrier the more she thought about it.
Looking at Ye Qingzhu, who was still angry, Su felt somewhat helpless.
"The Regent's status is there for all to see. Does your father dare to admit it?"
When the topic of status came up, Madam Su felt helpless. If it weren't for this marriage exchange, her daughter would be the glorious Regent's Consort, and that prestigious position would never have fallen to that wretched girl Ye Qingwu.
But now...
Madam Su had mixed feelings. Even if her daughter really did have the ability to foresee the future, and that Jiang Wenjin really did become the Grand Secretary, she was still far inferior to the Regent.
But his own daughter just wouldn't understand his good intentions.
She doesn't want to divorce Jiang Wenjin, and she keeps going back to her parents' home every few days. She doesn't want to live a peaceful life. As her mother, I'm really anxious.
"Qingzhu, I think Ye Yuanfeng is probably possessed by an evil spirit. We should leave quickly to avoid getting involved with anything bad."
Madam Su had just noticed the situation in the courtyard. She had only heard about it from the maid who went to inquire, but it was nothing compared to the shock of seeing it with her own eyes.
"Mother, nothing will happen." Ye Qingzhu said with certainty, "That bitch Ye Qingwu dared to come. If I don't show up, wouldn't others think I'm afraid of her?"
This Ye Qingwu actually used her father to insult her; how could she let this go unpunished?
Even if Ye Qingwu is now the Regent's Consort, so what? With the help of that dark figure, she's not afraid of anyone at all.
Ye Qingwu, that bitch, will one day be trampled underfoot and forced to beg for mercy.
Seeing that Ye Qingzhu was about to go, Madam Su knew she couldn't dissuade her and could only agree.
"No matter what, Qingzhu, you must be careful."
"Your Highness, I feel something is strange about this area."
Leng Feng looked around warily, especially at the people lying on the ground, which made him even more certain of his feeling.
Ye Qingwu nodded. "Leng Feng, your mission is to protect the prince. Get out of here."
She commanded the cold wind, saying that she would handle the task of subduing the evil energy.
"But……"
“I don’t want to say the same thing again.” As Ye Qingwu spoke, she looked in Zhan Sijing’s direction again.
"My subordinate understands."
Although Leng Feng was worried, he could only follow orders. During this time, he had come to regard both the prince and the princess as equally important.
After examining the courtyard, Ye Qingwu was able to determine that the reason these people had fainted was due to the evil energy, and that there must be a large amount of evil energy in Ye Yuanfeng's house at this time.
Once opened, these malevolent energies will be released. It's as if the other party anticipated this, knowing that she would have to open the house to cure Ye Yuanfeng's symptoms.
But once the evil energy inside is released, the entire Duke's mansion, including everyone outside, will suffer.
When that time comes, she will have to take responsibility for these things.
No, this black mist is different from the one that invaded the Prince's Mansion and Zhan Sijing before; it's a kind of...
As soon as Ye Qingwu approached, she saw the black mist wrap around her as if it had its own consciousness.
Images of the past kept flashing before his eyes, including scenes of the original owner being bullied by Ye Yuanfeng.
A voice came from within the black mist, growing louder as it approached.
"Ye Qingwu, Ye Yuanfeng, as your family member, has treated you like this, do you still want to save him?"
“He has never treated you as family. In his eyes, your birth was the culprit that killed his mother.”
These sights and sounds continued to surround him, and a hint of mockery appeared in Ye Qingwu's eyes.
Ah.
interesting.
She knew where these evil spirits came from; it turned out that the other party had been targeting her from the very beginning.
Although she had severed ties with the Duke's mansion, some blood ties could not be broken.
The other party took advantage of one thing: people are afraid of being constantly haunted and repeated by those painful memories, unable to extricate themselves, until finally, they fall into a state of collapse.
Once one's mind is weak, evil spirits will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. It's just a pity... Ye Qingwu took out a talisman and infused it with a trace of spiritual power, making it float in mid-air. In the end, those were all the original owner's memories, so what did they have to do with her?
Why should she be so concerned about the situation described in the book? It would be ridiculous to try to break her down with these things!
