The scumbag was secretly having an affair, while I was openly having an affair with the prince.

Chapter 133 Wen's Suicide

"Sister-in-law...it was you who gave me the poison...it was you...I want you to pay with your life..."

"No! No!" Madam Wen screamed in despair, clutching her head. "The poison was given by Hua Ping! The person who poisoned you was Madam Ge! I didn't do anything! I didn't do anything—"

"Ha! Is that so?" The woman's chilling voice suddenly turned into a normal person's cold laugh.

Moreover, the cold laugh sounded very familiar to the Wen family.

She stiffly raised her head, her bulging eyes still filled with lingering fear. But when she saw the female ghost tear off her pale face, her fear instantly transformed into a cannibalistic rage.

"Ye Shishu! You bitch, how dare you impersonate your mother to swindle me!"

"So what if I'm bluffing you? Even if you deny everything, you're not getting out of here alive." Ye Shishu took out a key, unlocked the cell door, pulled a long rope from his waist, and walked towards her step by step.

"What...what are you going to do?" Fear resurfaced in Wen's eyes. She pressed herself against the wall, wishing she could disappear into it.

"Wen, I've long suspected that my mother's death was related to you and Ge! Now that you've admitted it, do you think I'll let you off the hook?" Ye Shishu was shrouded in hatred and resentment, the murderous aura emanating from her eyes even more ferocious and terrifying than the ghostly aura she had previously feigned. "For the sake of my Ye family's wealth, you didn't hesitate to poison my mother, separating her from her husband and forever from her own flesh and blood! Wen, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death—"

"Do not--"

……

The next day.

Wei House.

The steward reported to Madam Ge, "Madam, I heard that Madam Wen was haunted by a vengeful spirit last night and died in prison!"

"A vengeful spirit seeking revenge? How is that possible?" Ge asked in astonishment and disbelief.

"Madam, it's true! The government itself released the news, saying that Madam Wen inexplicably hanged herself last night, and there were words written in blood at her feet that read 'Blood debts must be repaid in blood'!"

"What?!" Ge jumped up from her chair in shock, her face turning deathly pale.

She had never seen ghosts or spirits and didn't usually believe in such things. But Wen's death made her think of the things they had done together...

Could there really be ghosts in this world?

But so many years have passed, why is You Yueqin only now seeking revenge?

Do not!

It couldn't be You Yueqin; it could only be Ye Shishu and his group playing tricks!

"By the way, Madam, Master withdrew a thousand taels of silver from the accounting office this morning," the steward reported another matter.

"A thousand taels? What is he going to do with it?" Madam Ge immediately asked angrily.

"Reporting to Madam, Master said that Consort Yu is in poor health and is worried that her unborn child will not grow well. He wants to buy nourishing ingredients for Consort Yu."

"That damned old bastard, the bastard born from a woman who's slept with a thousand men, is he really worth spending a fortune to raise? He's really trying to drive me crazy!" Madam Ge cursed.

Ever since that bitch entered the manor, Wei Guangzheng has almost never come to her courtyard again. To put it bluntly, he thinks she's old and faded!

The butler kept his eyes down and didn't dare to say a word.

"You go down first!"

"Yes."

Watching the butler leave, Madam Ge stared out the door, her eyes growing increasingly sinister.

If it were someone else, they would definitely take action before that bitch turned three months old, so that she could no longer rely on her child for status.

But she wouldn't do that.

The bastard child hasn't even formed yet; for her to make that slut abort the bastard is far too lenient on her.

She would wait until the bastard was fully formed, until everyone thought the wretched woman's pregnancy was stable, before she made her move! In this way, not only would the wretched woman not be able to give birth to a live child, but she would also die from the stillborn fetus!

……

The residence of Marquis Yufeng.

When Ninth Aunt woke up, she found herself in an unfamiliar environment, which startled her so much that she instinctively sat up.

"Ninth Aunt, you're awake." The bed curtains were drawn back, and Ye Gengxin couldn't hide his joy, asking with concern, "Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"General...?" Aunt Jiu was surprised by his appearance.

"Don't worry, there's no danger anymore."

Ye Gengxin then told her what had happened in the past two days.

Although they were alone in the room, Aunt Jiu was still moved to tears after hearing the story, and choked up as she said, "It was all my carelessness that made you all suffer for me!"

Ye Gengxin hung up the bed curtains, sat on the headboard, and said gently to her, "You can't blame yourself too much. Hua Ping is no ordinary person. Not to mention you, even I couldn't deal with him. Fortunately, you're alright, and everyone is relieved."

Ninth Aunt looked up and asked, "Where are the Prince and Princess?"

“They left the Marquis’s residence yesterday, saying they were going to capture Hua Ping.”

"Oh."

Just then, Ye Shiting's voice came from outside the door.

Ye Gengxin got up to open the door.

Upon hearing the news from his son, he was astonished. "Dead? A vengeful spirit seeking revenge?"

Ye Shiting nodded. "The yamen found nothing, so this is the only conclusion we can draw."

Ye Gengxin frowned.

What kind of vengeful spirit is this, coming to claim her life not earlier or later, but only after Wen was imprisoned?

Could it be...

He suddenly asked, "Shi Jun, is there any news about the Prince and Shu'er? Where are they now?"

Ye Shiting replied, "They returned to Prince Cheng's residence yesterday and are resting there. This morning, Shi Jun took Xin'er to Prince Cheng's residence, saying he wanted to discuss something with his younger sister."

Ye Gengxin couldn't help but sternly say, "This brat, he's already married, and he's still jumping around all the time, he has no manners at all!"

Ye Shiting couldn't help but chuckle.

I thought my brother would change his personality after getting married, at least become more stable, but I didn't expect his wife to be just as restless. Now, my brother hasn't changed at all, and he even has someone else jumping around with him.

"Father, is Ninth Aunt awake?"

"Ah."

"Then I'll have someone bring the herbal medicine over. You haven't eaten much since last night, so I'll have someone bring your meals over as well."

"it is good."

After watching his son walk away, Ye Gengxin closed the door and returned to his bedside.

Aunt Jiu looked around the room and asked, "Where are we?"

"The Marquis of Yufeng's Residence".

"Oh."

"You haven't eaten for two days. Eat something first before going back to the General's Mansion."

Ninth Aunt paused awkwardly, then lowered her head and whispered, "General, I want to go back to Prince Cheng's residence."

Upon hearing this, Ye Gengxin felt a surge of anger. "I only didn't listen to what you said that day. Does that mean you want to sever ties with me?"

Ninth Aunt remained silent.

Ye Gengxin reached out and took her hand, his tone softening, "I didn't mean to distrust you, I was just angry at the time... Please don't be angry, okay?"

"……Um."

"Everyone in the Marquis's mansion knows about us, and it won't be long before the news spreads. To avoid gossip, I've decided that once you've recovered, we'll pick a date to get things done."

Upon hearing this, Ninth Aunt looked up at him in astonishment, "Is this appropriate?"

Ye Gengxin retorted irritably, "Otherwise what? Do you want us to continue this ambiguous relationship? I've lived an upright life, and if I'm going to be with you, I have to give you a legitimate status! Don't give me that talk about being a good match or not; my Ye family doesn't care about such things! If anyone dares to say a single bad word about you..."

Aunt Jiu was speechless after hearing what he said.

In terms of social status, she had no say. In terms of eloquence, she couldn't compete.

So she changed the subject and asked, "Did the eldest young master just say that Lady Wen died in prison?"

"Yes, the government has already issued a notice."

"You deserve to die!" Ninth Aunt said coldly and hatefully, "Wen and Hua Ping not only wanted to use me to exchange for silver with the Princess, but also wanted to use me to exchange for the last time with the Crown Prince, and then... then sell me into a brothel..."

'Click click!'

Ye Gengxin cracked his knuckles and gritted his teeth, uttering, "What a vicious woman!"

Seeing him get up, Aunt Jiu quickly asked him, "Where are you going?"

"I'll go to the government office to get her body back, and then throw it into a mass grave to feed the dogs!"

"...!"
