Seeing her panicked look, Ye Gui thought for a moment and said, "What you said makes sense. Cindy's matter can't be delayed. So, I'll write to Lord Huang today to mention this. If the marriage certificates are exchanged and the date is discussed, it's not impossible."
"Everything depends on master." Ren Wanyun said obediently.
Ye Gui said a few more words and then left satisfied. Today, Ren Wanyun was submissive and obedient. She admitted her mistakes and did as he said, which made him feel much better. The gloom of the past few days was swept away and his steps seemed a little triumphant.
After Ye Gui left Cai Yun Yuan, Xiang Lan closed the door outside and said anxiously, "Madam, is it really okay to hide this matter from master ?"
Ren Wanyun made Ye Gui think that Ye Cindy was really willing to marry Huang Dexing, but she didn't tell him her plan to swap Ye Cindy and Ye Lily's marriages. So, Ye Cindy would marry the real good man Wei Qian, and Ye Lily would marry the dissolute and homosexual Huang Dexing.
This matter naturally couldn't be known by Ye Gui. No matter what the outcome was, a person like Ye Gui, as long as it might involve his career a little, he wouldn't take the risk. But Ren Wanyun couldn't let her daughter step into the pit of fire.
"Naturally, we have to hide it from him. He's so heartless. He wants to exchange my Cindy for his career without even asking if I'm willing." Ren Wanyun sneered. Her husband's indifference and her daughter's incident had made her look old during this period. It seemed that wrinkles had added a few overnight, and the originally kind face was only left with a vicious expression, "This matter must be foolproof. Even if he finds out later, it'll be too late."
"But wouldn't this be bad for Second Miss?" Cai Ju asked, "Even if the marriage swap is successful, how could the Huang family and the Wei family, who know the truth, be willing?"
"Don't worry," Ren Wanyun held the paperweight in her hand, "The Huang family just wants a name. Anyone is the same. As for the Wei family, if they dare to make a sound, I'll accuse them of raping an innocent girl. There are always ways to make them shut up. Besides," Her face suddenly became fierce, "What's wrong with my Cindy? Could it be that she's not as good as that little bitch Ye Lily! Switching my Cindy is their Wei family's blessing!"
When it came to Ye Lily, Ren Wanyun trembled with hatred. Xiang Lan and Cai Ju immediately lowered their heads in silence and dared not speak anymore.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
After a while, Ren Wanyun's voice sounded, "But now, the most important thing is to make the two marriages happen quickly. It has to be before Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law return to the capital."
"Big Master won't return to the capital until the end of the year. There are still several months." Xiang Lan stepped forward and reminded, "On the contrary, Fifth Miss has too unruly a temperament. If she knows that the marriage was privately arranged, I'm afraid she'll make a big fuss. Maybe she'll even escape from the Ye Mansion at night. What should we do then?"
"Escape?" Ren Wanyun said viciously, "Let's see if she has that ability. Isn't she currently confined in the ancestral hall? From today on, lock that ancestral hall for me!"
She was actually going to lock Ye Lily up alive!
Xiang Lan and Cai Ju were startled and both lowered their heads. In the past in the Ye Mansion, although they suppressed Ye Lily, it was all done on the surface without showing any signs. This was the first time such a thunderous method was used against Ye Lily, almost tearing the face without any scruples.
"That little bitch has many tricks. Only by locking her up. When the time comes, give her a glass of wine and send her to the sedan chair. Even if she calls for help, there will be no response. The Huang family is not an easy one either. After a few days of discipline, she'll be obedient." The malice in Ren Wanyun's words was undisguised, "If not, there's still Prince ." She laughed.
...
The winter was getting colder and colder. Good news came frequently from the northwest desert. Ye Xin's army was in repelling the enemy and was brave in battle, making the enemies frightened on the battlefield. In the capital, it was naturally guessed that when Ye Xin returned to the capital at the end of the year, he would surely receive countless rewards.
The glory of the Ye family was really enviable, but it was all fought for with real swords and guns on the battlefield. Now that the Xiongnu haven't retreated and neighboring countries are eyeing them, the royal family of Ming Qi naturally has to reuse the Ye family. But in the future, it's not clear. When the rabbits are killed, the hunting dogs are cooked. It has always been what the royal families love to do. After all, a new emperor has new ministers. Especially the undercurrents among the nine princes of the current Ming Qi royal family couldn't be underestimated.
If there was any lively thing in the capital recently, it was that the Ye family intended to form a marriage alliance. But for some reason, this matter was also rumored mysteriously. Only knew that two families came to propose marriage. One was the Wei family, the vice minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the other was the Huang family, the. Both of these two families were noble and the two young masters were also talented. They were well-matched with the Ye family. Ye Amy still went to Guangwen Hall as usual. So everyone guessed that the ones who were going to form a marriage alliance must be Ye Lily, the legitimate daughter of the eldest branch of the Ye family, and Ye Cindy, the legitimate daughter of the second branch.
Regarding Ye Cindy, that's fine. Ye Lily's identity was a little subtle. Among the current military officers, only the Lord of Lin'an could be compared to him. But the Lord of Lin'an seemed to be a smart person. Except for being ordered by the emperor to lead the army, he usually stayed in the capital. Ye Xin, on the other hand, was stationed at the border all year round.
