Ye Gui thought that since Ye Cindy had been defiled, it would be better to marry into the Huang family. Since Huang Dexing had no interest in women and wouldn't touch Ye Cindy, naturally this secret wouldn't be discovered. Ye Cindy just needed to hold the empty name of a Huang family daughter-in-law and enjoy wealth and honor. And he could also rely on the marital relationship with the Huang family to advance his career further.
Ye Gui naturally had a good plan, but Ren Wanyun wouldn't agree. Even if Ye Cindy had been defiled, in Ren Wanyun's heart, she was determined to find a good marriage for Ye Cindy. Marrying Huang Dexing was like being a widow for a lifetime. She would definitely not exchange this marriage with her daughter. Because of this matter, Ye Gui and Ren Wanyun had argued for a long time. The already cold relationship between the couple became even worse. Ye Gui almost never came to Cai Yun Yuan and stayed in the concubine's room every day.
"If only Fifth Miss and Eldest Miss could swap their marriage partners, it would be great." Cai Ju said angrily.
The speaker didn't have a special meaning, but the listener took it to heart. Hearing this, Ren Wanyun's eyebrows jumped and she suddenly looked at Cai Ju, "What did you say!"
Cai Ju was startled and stammered, "This servant said if Fifth Miss and Second Miss could swap their marriage partners, it would be great."
"You're right!" Ren Wanyun suddenly stood up and suddenly showed an ecstatic expression on her face. She said, "Yes. As long as Qing'er and the little bitch swap their marriages... " She murmured, "It should have been my Qing'er's. This time, let that little bitch suffer the consequences!" Saying this, she suddenly remembered something, "Bring my cloak. I'm going to Rong Jing Tang."
"Madam, why are you going to Rong Jing Tang?" Cai Ju and Xiang Lan were both confused by Ren Wanyun's sudden action. But they saw Ren Wanyun grin viciously, "Naturally, I'm going to ask the old madam to keep the good marriage with the Wei family."

In winter, the sunlight shone on the flowers and plants on the windowsill, as if it was also tinted with a layer of pale cyan. However, the sunlight was thin, as if it could be broken carelessly. Ye Lily was wearing a brocade dress with double butterflies and standing water patterns. On top, she wore a narrow-shouldered purple lotus embroidered shirt. The dark purple color made her already fair skin almost seem transparent, and her eyebrows seemed as clean as if they were drawn with ink. Even standing still by the window, an air of nobility faintly surrounded her.

Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang almost stared blankly. Even they, who had served Ye Lily since childhood, had seen Ye Lily's face for so many years. Somehow, whenever they saw Ye Lily now, they would have a feeling of not recognizing her. That faint elegance appeared on this originally childish girl. So the cuteness turned into dignity and the naivete turned into sternness.
"Miss seems to like wearing lotus cyan clothes very much." Bai Lu said, "Although it looks very good on you, but at this age, don't young ladies usually like bright colors like pink and blue?"
Lotus cyan was noble and solemn, but for young ladies in the boudoir, except for princesses and princesses in the palace, very few wore such a color. One reason was that it was easy to look old-fashioned. The other reason was that it was difficult to hold this color. If not careful, it would be like a child stealing and wearing adult clothes.
But Ye Lily clearly had a tender and young face but managed to wear this dress with the demeanor of a palace lady. The maids didn't understand.
Although Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang lowered their voices, they were still heard by Ye Lily. She smiled slightly. Why did she like wearing lotus cyan? Probably because this color could constantly remind her to be calm, deep, and never be soft-hearted.
In her previous life in the palace, she wore the empress's court dress every day. The golden color could威慑 those concubines in the palace with ill intentions. Holding the posture of the empress made people hesitate. But actually, that color wasn't suitable for her.
She married Xu Hao when she was young and experienced many things that others wouldn't at her age. Because of this, her naive and almost stupid nature was finally polished into a pool of stagnant water that was calm and unperturbed. Later, she competed for favor and love with Mrs. Mei in the harem. In order to protect XuSheng and Wan Yu, she wanted to keep the bright yellow empress's court dress, but in the end, nothing remained.
Evil purple takes over vermilion, meaning insubordination and usurping power. Wearing purple all her life in this life meant that one day, she would seize the power that the royal family of Ming Qi was longing for and trample those bandits and robbers underfoot.
But... Ye Lily suddenly thought of another handsome young man who always wore purple.
Evil purple takes over vermilion, insubordination and chaos. But she didn't know if the mysterious legitimate eldest son of the Xiao family also had the intention of usurping power.
"Miss, it's not good!" Just as she was thinking, Jing Zhe rushed back in a hurry. She said, "Miss, Mo Qing got the news from Chun Tao that the Wei family, the vice minister of the Ministry of Rites, came to propose marriage. Old Madam Ye accepted the Wei family's marriage certificate."
Shuang Jiang frowned and asked, "So hurriedly. Who from the Wei family proposed marriage?"
"It's, it's Miss." Jing Zhe was so anxious that she stomped her feet, "The situation of the Wei family isn't clear yet. How could Old Madam accept the marriage certificate without even asking Miss's opinion. Master and Madam don't know either. This is clearly forced buying and selling."
Jing Zhe had never looked up to Old Madam Ye and naturally knew that Old Madam Shen's actions would surely not be good for Ye Lily. If the Wei family was really a good family, how could Old Madam Ye give Ye Lily such an easy time.
