Chapter 33 All Past Events Vanish
"No." Ye Shishu smiled at him. "Your Highness, please have some."
Yu Chi Ling took the tea she offered and suddenly said, "Rumors stop with the wise."
Ye Shishu, "..."
Just then, Wenmo suddenly pushed open the door and reported, "Your Highness, not only did Wei Yonghuai come to Ziqiong Manor today, but his mother, Madam Ge, and Madam You, Madam Wen, are also in the manor and are downstairs right now."
Yu Chi Ling didn't look up, only said coldly, "Keep a close eye on them! Don't hold back if they do anything!"
"Yes!"
Ye Shishu's complexion was also not good.
Wei Yonghuai came empty-handed, claiming he was returning her things, but that was clearly a ruse!
The fact that both Ge and Wen came together shows that they had ill intentions!
"Your Highness, if there's nothing else, I'd like to return as soon as possible."
"It's still early, why go back?" Yu Chi Ling glanced at her sideways.
"I'm not willing to let Wei Yonghuai trick me out! The letters I gave him earlier are still in his hands. Even if he doesn't return them, I will find a way to destroy them!" Ye Shishu said as she got up.
"Sit down!" Yu Chi Ling's cold, hard voice was like an order, then he pointed to the tea and snacks on the table, "Eat them before you go back."
"Your Highness, I'm not in the mood for it." Ye Shishu pouted, unable to help but show him a hint of displeasure.
"A dark and windy night, the perfect time for murder and arson. What's the rush?"
"..."
According to Wenmo's surveillance, after Wei Yonghuai left Ziqiong Manor, Ge and Wen did not stay long, so Wenmo did not find out their purpose for coming to the manor.
That night.
As Ye Shishu, dressed in black, flew over the high walls of Prince Cheng's mansion, she saw a tall, dark figure standing beneath the wall.
She was nearly startled.
He was just two steps away from jumping on the other person!
"Your Highness, what are you doing?" She couldn't help but be surprised when she could see the man's appearance clearly by the moonlight.
"I haven't stretched my muscles in a long time. Tonight, having nothing better to do, I'll play the thief with you." The man leaned against the wall, a smile playing on his lips as he looked at her.
Ye Shishu's eye twitched violently.
The man in front of me was standing there, but his posture was casual and relaxed. Perhaps because of the scars on his face, his smile had a hint of evil. Compared to his usual self, he had an inexplicable air of cynicism.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered? Let me be clear: if you get caught, don't blame me!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the man suddenly reached out and hooked his arm around her waist.
Before she could react, he used his lightness skill to fly away into the distance—
The wind whistled in her ears, the night view rushed past her feet, and she soared freely through the air, feeling incredibly thrilled. But Ye Shishu had no mind for anything else; she just turned her head to look at the man, unable to describe how she felt at that moment, only knowing that her heart was inexplicably racing.
"Hold on tight! I won't be responsible if you fall!"
As if to scare her, the arm around her waist suddenly loosened.
Ye Shishu hugged him almost instinctively.
When she heard him chuckle softly, she gritted her teeth and couldn't help but pinch his waist!
……
Half an hour later.
Wei House.
Wei Yonghuai's study suddenly caught fire.
The fire quickly spiraled out of control, and by the time all the servants arrived, they were carrying buckets of water and had no idea which direction to take to put out the fire.
"Huai'er, are you alright?" Madam Ge asked with concern, holding her son's hand.
"How did a fire suddenly start?" Wei Guangzheng asked angrily.
Wei Yonghuai stared blankly at the study engulfed in flames, his eyes seemingly unable to see anything but the firelight.
Seeing that there was no hope of putting out the fire, Ge was about to send her son to rest in another courtyard when Wei Yonghuai suddenly seemed to come to his senses and turned to run away.
"Huai'er, where are you going?" Madam Ge grabbed him quickly.
“Mother, it must have been her who set the fire! She’s upset that I didn’t return the letter to her, so she came and destroyed my study herself!” Wei Yonghuai said through gritted teeth, his face ashen.
He knew all too well how strange this fire was!
He was in his study a quarter of an hour before the fire started. He blew out the candle himself when he left, and there was no other source of fire around. How could it have caught fire if someone hadn't deliberately set it on fire?
The only place where the fire started was his study, and the only person he could think of was Ye Shishu!
And only Ye Shishu had the motive to burn down his study!
Madam Ge wasn't disbelieving him, but seeing the hatred in his eyes, she knew what he was planning without asking. So she gripped him tighter, saying, "Huai'er, don't be impulsive. The study is ruined, so be it. As long as you're alright!"
"No! I want to find her and ask her why she did this? Why was she so heartless, leaving me not even a trace of hope or memory!" Wei Yonghuai roared excitedly.
"Huai'er, she's already the Princess Consort of Cheng!" Madam Ge couldn't help but shout.
Wei Yonghuai froze abruptly, his anger instantly extinguished as if doused with cold water.
Seeing this, Madam Ge said with heartache, "Why do you still want that fickle woman? They say a good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already grazed, let alone someone who has betrayed you, she's not even good grass! Huai'er, you've caught the Crown Prince's eye now, and you'll be working for him in the future. You must understand, she and Prince Cheng are both thorns in the Crown Prince's side, we can't be on their side, we'll only be their enemies! Huai'er, forget about her, okay?"
Wei Guangzheng couldn't help but say, "Huai'er, she's just a woman, you can't be willful!"
Wei Yonghuai closed his eyes and took several deep breaths.
Ever since that dream, he has felt resentful towards Ye Shishu.
She was clearly his wife, and he clearly had everything, so why did he end up losing both his wife and his money in reality...?
"Someone, help the young master to the waterside pavilion!" Wei Guangzheng gave his son no chance to speak and sternly ordered the servants.
Two servants stepped forward and helped Wei Yonghuai leave, one on each side.
After her son had walked away, Madam Ge revealed a hateful expression again. "Huai'er has become like this because of that vile woman Ye Shishu! She wanted to abandon my Huai'er and marry into the Prince Cheng's mansion in a grand manner. Even if I can't ruin her plans, I will let everyone in the capital know how despicable she and Prince Cheng are!"
Wei Guangzheng listened to her words and could only sigh repeatedly.
……
After the fire started, Ye Shishu and Yuchi Ling hid in the shadows and watched for a while. When they saw that there were many servants, they were afraid of being discovered and had no choice but to leave.
After leaving the Wei residence, Ye Shishu went directly back to the General's Mansion.
only……
After walking for a while, she suddenly turned around and looked at the tall and imposing man beside her. "Your Highness, aren't you going back to the manor?"
Yu Chi Ling pursed his thin lips awkwardly and said in a low voice, "I'll take you back first."
Night fell and dark lines appeared on Shu's forehead.
Is he trying to get into bed with her again?
After a brief moment of hesitation, she lowered her head and continued walking forward, which could be considered as tacit consent.
She had to admit that Prince Cheng had played a crucial role in her escape from the Wei family and the embarrassing exit of Wei Yonghuai from her life. Now that they were betrothed, they were completely bound together, and she couldn't bring herself to betray them.
Even if Prince Cheng has someone else in his heart, she will accept it...
She didn't know what the future held, and as long as her life and interests weren't threatened, she could just let things take their course...
The General's Mansion was no less secure than the Prince Cheng's Mansion, but since it was their own territory, Ye Shishu was very familiar with it and easily led Yu Chi Ling into the high walls and back to Yuexin Courtyard.
As soon as Ye Shishu entered the room, her waist was hooked, and the man almost impatiently pinned her against the door.
However, at that very moment, the previously dark room suddenly lit up.
The two looked in astonishment toward the direction of the candlelight.
The person who lit the candle by the candlestick was also looking up at them.
“Father…” Ye Shishu was instantly covered in cold sweat.
Ye Gengxin was also embarrassed; he never expected them to be so eager to get back to their room...
Seeing their night clothes, he immediately changed the subject, pointing at his daughter angrily and criticizing, "I sent someone to the Prince's mansion to fetch you, but they said you weren't there. Look at you two, dressed like this, are you going to be thieves? And what about the Prince's physique..."
He was in the middle of a tirade when he suddenly realized something. His eyes widened involuntarily, and he stared at the man who had pinned his daughter against the door, as if he had seen a ghost. His upper and lower lips trembled, and he could barely speak, "Your Highness... your leg..."
