Chapter 224 Are you capable of supporting me?
Mo Qianxiao sneered, "Without your arrangements, how dare they cause trouble in the palace? Don't think I don't know that you went to see Wei Yonghuai and the Du family girl a couple of days ago!"
"Fourth brother..." Luo Lixian wanted to explain.
Yu Chi Rui entered from outside the door and said in a low voice, "Fourth Prince, please calm down. It was all at my behest."
Luo Lixian turned to look at him, her tearful eyes filled with astonishment.
Mo Qianxiao narrowed his eyes suddenly, "What is this, Your Highness?"
Yu Chi Rui took his seat in the main seat on the other side, glanced at Luo Lixian, and then said with a smile, "I have no other intentions, I just want to get rid of Wei Yonghuai, so I had Xian'er make some arrangements."
"Wei Yonghuai often bothers Xian'er, which is detrimental to her reputation. If he succeeds in his plan, he will be able to ruin Ye Shishu's reputation and drive a wedge between Ye Shishu and Yuchi Ling. Although he failed this time, he was imprisoned in the imperial prison for his illicit affair with the Du family girl in the palace, which can be considered as fulfilling my wishes."
His explanation was reasonable and well-founded. After listening, Mo Qianxiao's angry expression turned into a smile. "So it was the prince who arranged it. I thought it was my silly little sister who took it upon herself!"
He bent down and helped Luo Lixian up, then took out his handkerchief to wipe away her tears, gently coaxing her, "Your Majesty didn't mean it, you were just afraid that your impulsive actions would ruin our plans. You've been wronged, go back to your room and rest."
Luo Lixian glanced at Yu Chi Rui while sobbing.
Although he lied to Mo Qianxiao, there was one thing she believed was true—
That means getting rid of Wei Yonghuai!
After all, Wei Yonghuai's existence not only constantly reminded him of the shame of raising someone else's illegitimate child, but also meant that Wei Yonghuai would use the child as leverage against him after the child was born. Even she couldn't stand Wei Yonghuai's existence, let alone the proud and arrogant deposed crown prince!
Perhaps that's why he stood up to lie for her and took the blame for what happened last night!
"Fourth Imperial Brother, Your Highness, Xian'er will take her leave now."
As soon as she left, Yu Chi Rui had tea served.
Mo Qianxiao raised an eyebrow and said, "Your Highness wouldn't have really fallen for my foolish sister, would you?"
Yu Chi Rui smiled and replied, "If the Fourth Prince wants my father to lower his guard against you, he must keep her, the princess sent for a political marriage. You are, after all, his brother. Don't let anyone find out that you treat her worse than I do."
"Heh!" Mo Qianxiao chuckled. "Alright, this prince will be more careful in the future."
……
Du Fu.
Upon hearing that Madam Du had been taken to the authorities, Du Youchong's first instinct was not to go to the authorities to rescue her, but to go to Du Anwen's room and beat his daughter again.
"You shameless bastard, you're a jinx reincarnated, here to bring us trouble!"
"Look at yourself! How dare you provoke the Crown Prince and Crown Princess, causing me to lose my job. Are you happy now? Are you satisfied?"
"Your maternal grandmother clearly arranged a marriage for you, but you insisted on having that damn dream. You even told me you could be an empress. You're not even fit to be an empress; you might as well go out and beg for food!"
Du Anwen had already been severely beaten last night. She was exhausted both physically and mentally and hadn't recovered when she was beaten again. Even though she was spitting blood and her whole body was numb with pain, Du Youchong still didn't stop.
Looking at her ferocious and cruel father, her unfocused pupils held nothing but despair.
She regretted it.
She shouldn't have gotten involved with a man who wasn't meant for her.
She was originally a noble lady from an official family, admired by many. No matter who she married, her life would be good.
But she chose the cold and ruthless Yu Chi Ling...
Seeing his tenderness and affection for Ye Shishu, she thought that as long as she became his woman, she could receive the same tenderness and affection from him, or even surpass him...
However, she was wrong, terribly wrong, utterly wrong!
……
Wei family.
Upon learning of her son's scandalous affair with Du Anwen in the palace, Madam Ge felt as if the sky had fallen, and she fainted on the spot, unable to accept it.
When she woke up and saw the man sitting by her bedside, she angrily demanded, "What are you doing here?"
You Jianbin said, "What could I possibly come here for? Of course, I came to see you! It's a good thing I came, otherwise you wouldn't have woken up so quickly!"
But Madam Ge was completely unmoved, her face darkening as she said, "I told you not to go to the Wei family unless it's absolutely necessary. If anyone sees you there, I won't let you off the hook!"
You Jianbin chuckled and pointed in a certain direction outside the door. "That Wei fellow, let alone the fact that he's contracted a sexually transmitted disease, he's barely clinging to life. You don't really have any hope for him, do you? And your son, he did something like that in the palace, and was caught in the act by the Emperor himself. He'll probably spend the rest of his life in prison. Do you really expect him to take care of you in your old age and see you off in your final days?"
"Shut up!" Ge couldn't help but roar.
The next moment, tears streamed down her face as she covered her face and cried uncontrollably.
You Jianbin sighed, "What's the use of crying now that things are like this? Anyway, my husband is already dead, and yours will be soon too. We might as well just make do for the rest of our lives!"
"Make do? What do you mean by make do? Are you capable of supporting me?" Ge asked angrily with disdain.
"I may not be able to support you, but my brother is!" You Jianbin was not ashamed of his incompetence, but instead raised his chin smugly. "Although I have been stripped of my title, I am the eldest son of the You family, and You Jianchuan has to support me! He is doing very well with the Ye family now, and he has everything he wants. If you follow me, even if I suffer from hunger or thirst, I will never let you suffer from hunger or thirst!"
Ge only shed tears and remained silent.
She never imagined that one day her family would be destroyed and she would die...
Although her ex-husband wasn't particularly capable, he was still a fourth-rank official. While he couldn't compare to the imperial nobles and powerful families of the capital, he was certainly better off. Her son, though not very accomplished, was filial and obedient.
But when did not only her husband change, but her son changed too? These were her closest relatives, yet they all became so unreasonable, some getting sick, others going to jail…
How will she, a woman confined to her home, live in her next life?
Just then, a maid stumbled in from outside, crying, "Madam... Master heard the news of the young master's imprisonment... and left!"
……
East Palace.
Ye Shishu received the news of Wei Guangzheng's death immediately.
“Little sister, now only Ge Shi is left in the Wei family. But I heard from Yu Niang that she’s been living a pretty ‘good’ life lately. Our second uncle is climbing over the wall to sneak into her room every few days. They’re having a really good time!” Ye Shijun said with a laugh as he talked about the recent events in the Wei family.
"Second brother, only the two of us know the cause of Mother's death. This blood debt must be repaid by the Ge family! It's already enough that she's lived this long. It's outrageous that she's allowed to continue living so freely!" Ye Shishu said hatefully.
Mentioning his mother's death, Ye Shijun's smile vanished, replaced by an intense killing intent in his eyes. "Don't worry, I'll make her pay for her death in the same way she died!"
"Shijun, little sister." Gu Simo came to the garden to find them and noticed that the siblings looked strange, so she couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? What happened?"
