t a normal listener to begin with, so even from far away from that room, he could hear his conversation with the woman in bed.I finally understand what the master meant by his last words, this world.....It's simply scum, worse than an animal.

Xiao Qin had already cursed this jerk countless times in her heart.

If you like guys, just go for it. Why do you have to hurt other girls

And what's worse, the woman would be destined to live a life of widowhood after marrying you. That's already tragic enough, but you went and took her life!

This is simply unforgivable!

Ye Er looked at her indignant expression and inexplicably felt relieved.

After knowing about the Chen family's situation, she would certainly not be deceived by them again.

He didn't want her to know about Master Chen, those dirty and shameful things shouldn't be known by someone as innocent as her. But he was also afraid that she would always remain like a little white rabbit, ignorant of everything, and end up being deceived in the future.

After all, he didn't know how long he could protect her from behind.

She reacted to the news with more composure than one might expect.

Xiaoqin became angrier and angrier the more she thought about it, not wanting that scoundrel to continue to go unpunished.

She didn't care about anything else, but an eye for an eye. Most importantly, he couldn't be allowed to continue harming other women.

Now that she knows his true colors, but other women don't. What if he really marries another woman It's bad enough for her to be a widow, but it could also cost her life.

Didn't his previous wife die from this very thing

Such a cruel person must not be allowed to continue having the opportunity to harm other women.

"No, I can't let him continue to harm people. We have to find a way to bring him to justice. Even if there's no way to make him legally responsible, at least we should expose his dirty deeds and let everyone know what kind of person he is!"

Seeing her eager expression, Ye Er smirked. "Rest assured, he will get what's coming to him. My people have found the evidence of who sold him the poison back then, and even the houseboy who poisoned that woman has been found. However, these witnesses took the hush money from Young Master Chen and fled long ago."

"Huh Then...then what do we do If we can't find those people, how else can we expose his true face"

"Certainly," Ye Er nodded slightly. "Don't forget his tastes. Since he frequents all sorts of establishments, we have plenty of opportunities...to catch him red-handed."

“......”

That's not impossible either.

A person's preferences are their own, and even if they are unconventional, it is not illegal. While such methods might ruin his reputation, they cannot legally lead to his conviction.

Even thinking about this scoundrel getting away with it, she still felt unsatisfied.

Ye Er seemed to have seen through her thoughts and added, "Of course, this method is just a last resort. I've already found out where those witnesses are staying and sent people to bring them back. However, the journey is long, and it will take some time for them to return to Beijing."

Had the matter not required resolution within three to five days, he would not have felt the need to tell her about Chenjia Gongzi's character beforehand. Instead, he would have chosen to deal with Chenjia Gongzi before she had the chance to meet him.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qin instantly felt completely at ease. "That's good then. Lord Ye, you truly are a good official."

“!”

Where did this come from

Seeing his confused and puzzled expression, Xiao Qin smiled and explained, "Lord Ye is not only a good official but also a very righteous person. Look, as soon as you found something amiss with Young Master Chen, you immediately investigated him. You discovered that he had a life on his hands and immediately sent people to find witnesses. And you know that my mother has recently been trying to match me with that scoundrel. So today, you specially told me about this and warned me to stay away from him. This shows that Lord Ye is very kind and righteous, and he can't bear to see others being deceived by scoundrels."

"..."

Ye Er smiled helplessly. As for the cause-and-effect relationship in this explanation... forget it, just be happy.

The two of them had talked for quite a long time today. Outside the door, Qing Ya was getting impatient. After hesitating for a while, she cleared her throat and knocked on the door, reminding, "Miss, it's time we head back to the estate."

Today, I came out with the lord and lady. They even dismissed our guards. If we don't go back now, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain it to the lord and lady.

Now that she had been reminded, Xiaoqin also realized that it was almost time.

She stood up, "Adults must believe what I say. Find some people who can protect you as soon as possible. If you can't find them, adults can really consider taking refuge with the Princess of Beijang. The princess will have a way to protect you."

To her reminder, Ye Er nodded slightly, “Thank you, Princess. I will consider it carefully.”

Xiaoqin saw that he had listened, and did not continue to linger. She told Ye Er that she could leave from the alley they had entered earlier, and then she took Qingya and returned home first.

Leaf Two was not in a hurry to return home at this time. He just sat where he was, pouring himself a cup of already cold tea.

The guard came in to see him drinking cold tea and immediately said, "My lord, I'll have them change the teapot right away."

"Not necessary."

Ye Ermian drained the tea in his cup without a change of expression. After setting it down, he stood up and walked out, "Return to the manor."

"Yes."

The bodyguard walked behind Ye Er, he could clearly feel that his master actually liked the Lady Xiao Qin very much, but he just didn't understand why these two couldn't be together.

The standoff between the Ye family and the Anle Houfu wasn't caused by their elders, besides, those from the Ye family were enemies to their master.

Setting aside any familial ties, Princess Xiaoqin's accidental killing of Ye Xiaoming, their lord's nominal older brother, was in fact a favor to their lord by eliminating an enemy.

And now, the only people who cared about Ye Xiaoming, his parents, are also gone. Now, only their grown-up children remain in the Ye residence.

Their master isn't an enemy of the Anle Hou Mansion, so what's wrong with their master marrying a county princess from the Anle Hou Mansion in his eyes

I really don't understand what the adults are worried about.

The guard held back his words, but finally, unable to contain himself any longer, he bravely asked, "My Lord, haven't you ever wanted to find someone who could truly harmonize with you"

His sudden question made Ye Er's steps falter, and she slowly turned to look at him, "Why do you ask that"

The guard bit his lip, since he had decided to speak, he might as well say it all.

Thinking this way, the guard didn't know where he got the courage. He looked Ye Er in the eye and said, "Sir, touch your own heart. Do you truly hope to see the county princess happily married to another man for a hundred years"

"...."

Needless to say, this guard's words hit the nail on the head. He bluntly brought up the most critical issue.

Ye Er clearly hadn't considered this issue, so at this moment, his eyes were fixed on the guard, his lips moving, but not a word came out.

He even, following the guard's lead, asked himself the same question in his mind.

Does he truly hope to see Xiaoqin and the other man playing music together harmoniously, happily unitedd gone mad, "Shut up! Shut your mouth, Huaduo! If you dare..." Ugh..."The man was startled. After all, this was the palace. Even though this place was secluded, few dared to come here at night when i...
