Chapter 7: The Witch of the Ye Family

y rich, so why would he sell his land for money And if he's not amassing wealth to rebel, then he's probably saving up to marry a wife – in which case, he definitely wouldn't sell it to me. 。"So, you'...This marriage, she went as a proper bride at night. But if she went as the red makeup of the night... that would be another story entirely.

The residence of a high-ranking official like Yi Pin would never stoop to such humiliation. How could they possibly allow two daughters to marry into the same family, especially with no regard for their reputation

About this morning's events, the original owner's memory wasn't much. She only remembered waking up very early, someone dressing and styling her hair, a veil covering her head, until she got into the flower sedan chair and left the house, never taking it off again.

The original owner was so overjoyed at being able to marry her sweetheart that she didn't notice they were taking a secluded route and using the side gate instead of the main one. The grand front entrance, however, was bustling with activity and far removed from where she was.

Not until the old woman from Duke Su's residence stood before her bridal sedan and mocked her did she realize she had been tricked. In a fit of rage, she created a scene at Duke Su's residence, slashing open her elder sister Night Red Makeup's left cheek. Finally, unable to bear this humiliation, she took her own life with a blade.

This is all that is known of the antecedent.

After all this commotion, if the Sixth Prince still wishes to marry Ye Hongzhuang, who has been disfigured, she might have to consider whether she should bless this love.

However, how could this possibly come to pass.

Yèhóng zhuāng zuǒ liǎn bèi huò kāi, chángcháng yī dào xuè kǒuzi, xuè shùn zhe gǔ bù dàng le yī shēn, kàn zháo xiàng guǐ.

In a rage, she ordered her servants to throw Ye Wen into the wilderness. The Sixth Prince, however, summoned all the imperial physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau and renowned doctors from Lin'an Inner City to come to Su Wangfu to treat Ye Hongzhuang's wounds.

The only problem is that this injury is difficult to heal. It's on the face, long and deep. Doctors can barely stop the bleeding, let alone guarantee it won't leave a scar.

Ye Hongzhuang cried all night, from morning to dusk. Not only did her tears cause chaos throughout the Duke of Su's residence, but they also brought her parents in General's Mansion to their knees.

When Ye Wen reached the gate of Su Mansion, quite a few curious onlookers had gathered behind him.

The former owner was quite well-known in Lin'an City. Aside from being known as the first beauty of Lin'an, she was also considered the most difficult person to provoke in the city.

She was given a nickname, called the Witch of the Night Family.

And the reason she was a witch was simply because her grandfather's reputation was too great, and his love for her was too excessive. To the point that the original owner could get whatever she wanted, and do whatever she pleased. If anyone dared to stand in her way, General Ye had to personally go and settle it.

Who dares to provoke a renowned general of the first rank! So they had to swallow their anger and keep their fire in check.

So, when the body of Ye Wenyan, known as the “witch” of the Ye family, was carried out of Su Mansion early that morning, people breathed a collective sigh of relief and exclaimed, “The witch of the Ye family is finally dead!”

It's truly puzzling why they so desperately want the Night House witch dead, yet offer no explanation for their motives.

It seems like everything that could be thought of is about her. For example, Ye Wenyan is so beautiful that nine out of ten eligible men in both the inner and outer cities of Lin'an have a heart for her. Even ineligible men feel their wives lack flavor, and even the beauties in her own household look down upon them.

Men aren't any better, and women aren't either.

All unmarried women viewed Ye Wenyan as a thorn in their side, because the men they liked all favored Ye Wenyan, and the men they didn't like also favored Ye Wenyan.

All married women were even more careful, guarding against fire, theft, and men at night. This was because there had been an incident where a drunk married man had abandoned his wife in the middle of the night and wandered outside the residence of a high-ranking military official all night.

In short, Ye Wen is a scourge in Lin'an City, a demon that everyone grits their teeth at when they mention him.

This morning, the devil died. Shouldn't the whole city celebrate with drums, gongs, firecrackers, and cheers It certainly gave many people a sense of excitement.

But just as this was happening, before it even got dark, the dead person came back. Still wearing that ruby wedding dress from this morning, she walked all the way from the city gate to the gate of Duke Su's Mansion, leisurely strolling and looking around, just like nothing had happened.

People were simply curious and followed behind. At this moment, they were still standing behind Ye Wen's words, looking like a group of close friends who came to support her.

Su Mansion was in utter chaos. Lord Ye Jingsheng, the second master of the Ye family, and his wife, Madam Xiao, had arrived early. One was chatting with the Sixth Prince in the front hall, while the other was in the back hall holding their daughter and sobbing uncontrollably.

The servants in the mansion had already begun to dismantle the wedding decorations. The entire mansion, adorned with red lanterns and silk streamers for the joyous occasion, was slowly returning to its usual state.

The gate to the mansion was open, and doctors from the city and imperial physicians came in groups, then went out shaking their heads.

The eunuch in charge asked the Sixth Prince, "Your Highness, the wedding hall has been dismantled. Now there are only the dowry items brought by your wife. What do you think we should..."

"What princess What kind of princess" The Sixth Prince roared, "She's not a princess unless we have a wedding ceremony!"

"Upon hearing this, the old master of Ye (Ye's Second Master) also panicked: 'What do you mean, Your Sixth Highness The bride has already entered the manor. Even if she hasn't paid respects at the altar, she is still the legitimate Duchess of Su!"

The Sixth Prince, Quan Qinglu, is eighteen years old this year. He is the biological son of the current Empress and a legitimate heir. He has been favored since he was young.

The Qian family members all lived prosperous lives. Although the seven princes each had their own unique qualities, if you looked at them individually, they were all exceptionally handsome and beautiful.

However, Quán Qīnglù is a person with a bad temper, prone to anger, acting recklessly, and most adept at turning his back on people.

Previously, Lord Ye Er had gone to great lengths, even stepping on Ye Wenyan, to marry his daughter off to the Duke of Su's mansion. This was because they believed that the Sixth Prince was legitimate and a strong contender for the throne. As long as Ye Hongzhuang married him as his principal wife, there would be a chance in the future that she could become empress.

But unexpectedly, such an accident happened. Right now, the Sixth Prince is acting like he doesn't even know us, and Ye Er Lao Ye feels utterly powerless...
