Chapter 126 The Man Who Set Up the Trap
"It's strange, why is Second Sister so sure that the person inside is me?" Ye Ziyu came out from behind.
Everyone looked back after hearing the sound. Ling Bingqing ran to Ye Ziyu's side and said, "Ayu."
Ye Ziyu smiled sweetly.
Jiang Xu and Tao Ling both breathed a sigh of relief, but Ye Xinhe looked extremely bad.
"Second sister was so sure that it was me inside, and now she sees me in such a bad expression, could this be the case?"
"Don't talk nonsense..." Ye Xinhe said angrily.
Ye Ziyu smiled slightly, "The elders can decide who is inside and what happened. You are all unmarried daughters, so don't let such filthy things dirty your eyes. Ah Qing, let's take you back."
"Yeah, it's better not to watch such filthy things. You will have nightmares when you sleep tonight. Let's all go back. The banquet hasn't ended yet. Let's continue to enjoy our meal." Ling Bingqing said, and then pulled Ye Ziyu in front to lead the way back to the banquet.
After paying their respects, the daughters all left.
"What is going on?" Ling Bingqing asked in front.
Ye Ziyu told Ling Bingqing what had just happened.
*
After closing the door, Ye Kexin covered Ye Ziyu's mouth and nose with a handkerchief from behind. Ye Ziyu took advantage of the situation and held her breath, pretending to faint. Then she was dragged to the bed by Ye Kexin.
Hearing the sound of Ye Kexin opening the incense cover, Ye Ziyu immediately stood up, and when Ye Kexin closed the cover, she knocked Ye Kexin unconscious with a palm. This technique was what Ye Ziyu specifically asked Yifeng to teach her after she was kidnapped. She also tried it several times on the beginning of autumn and the beginning of summer.
After Ye Kexin was knocked unconscious, Ye Ziyu moved Ye Kexin to the bed, lowered the curtain, and glanced at the incense on the table. "This trick is enough to use once, but you have to use it twice or three times." Then she left the room and hid. She wanted to see who would come next.
But no matter who comes, Ye Ziyu will not go in to save her. She is not such a saint. She is the one who wants to harm her first.
After Ye Ziyu waited for a while, she saw the servant bringing the unsteady Lin Yun to the guest room. The servant sent Lin Yun to the guest room which was one room away from Ye Kexin, and then left.
After the servant left, Lin Yun's door opened and Lin Yun walked straight to the room where Ye Kexin took Ye Ziyu. Ye Ziyu understood that all this was a trap set up by Ye Kexin and Lin Yun.
Ye Ziyu: So, the person who was at the Spring Banquet that day was not Ye Xinhe, but Ye Kexin.
Ye Ziyu laughed at herself, "No wonder Ye Kexin has been trying to get close to me since the Spring Banquet. So this is her purpose."
Lin Yun entered the room and closed the door. He was groggy because he had drunk a few glasses of wine and the incense in the room had been burning for a long time. He only saw a person lying behind the curtain on the bed, so he stumbled over and kept muttering, "Ye Ziyu, Ye Ziyu, you still fell into my hands in the end."
Some noises began to be heard from inside, so Ye Ziyu asked Li Qiu to go to the front hall to find Jiang Xu and say that something happened to me in the guest room, and asked Jiang Xu to bring Tao Ling to handle it themselves. Based on Ye Ziyu's understanding of Ye Xinhe, she would definitely join in the fun and bring people to see the joke.
*
After Ye Ziyu finished speaking, Ling Bingqing praised Ye Ziyu, "What a good plan."
"Are you praising me or insulting me, Aqing?"
"Of course I'm praising you. Ye Kexin is really going too far. No matter what, you are her sister and the daughter of the Ye family. If you ruin your reputation, she won't be able to find a good husband in the future."
"Perhaps she has already decided on the person she wants to marry, and that person is notorious, so she naturally doesn't worry about damaging her reputation."
"What about the other young ladies of the Ye Mansion?"
"Talent doesn't think so much. Do you think it's like you?"
"But fortunately, you are smart, Yu, and you didn't fall for their scheme."
"Okay, let's stop talking about this and leave the rest to our mother and the others."
Jiang Xu and Tao Ling looked extremely unhappy outside the house. Tao Ling called two maids, pushed open the door to interrupt the action inside, and then ordered people to watch over the two separately.
*
There were no other problems at the banquet. When it ended, Master Ling and his wife, Ye Zhengde and his wife, Ling Sichen and Ye Qingyin saw everyone off in the front hall.
Jiang Xu asked Ye Quanyong to take Ye Jiaxuan and Ye Ziyu away, but left behind the third branch of the Ye family.
Ye Ziyu thought she could still wait and see how things turned out, but she didn't expect Jiang Xu to send her back home directly.
On the carriage.
"Why did mother leave my third uncle and his wife behind and send the three of us back home?" Ye Jiaxuan asked.
"Second brother, why are you so gossipy?" Ye Ziyu looked at Ye Jiaxuan.
"I... I'm just curious. Aren't you curious? Or do you know what happened?"
"I..." Ye Ziyu paused for two seconds, "I don't know."
"Tsk, you act like you know it." Ye Jiaxuan said.
"Lululu." Ye Ziyu made a face.
*
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Li asked.
The Ye family's first branch and the Ling family's people stood in the main seat of the reception room, the Ye family's third branch stood on the side of the first branch, and Ye Kexin and Lin Yun knelt in the middle.
"What do you mean? Madam Ye San really taught her daughter well." Tao Ling spoke suddenly.
"Mrs. Ling, today is your son and Qingyin's wedding day. We are here to congratulate you. Don't you think it's too much to say this about my daughter?"
After Tao Ling and Jiang Xu subdued the two men, they asked the maid to fetch some water and clean them up properly so that it wouldn't be so messy, so Li didn't know what happened.
"Brother, this...?" Ye Zhenghong also asked Ye Zhengde.
Ye Zhengde looked unhappy. When the banquet ended, Jiang Xu told Ye Zhengde about this, and Ye Zhengde felt ashamed.
"What's the matter? You can ask your good daughter yourself, an unmarried girl... Alas." Ye Zhengde flicked his sleeves.
No matter how stupid Li and Ye Zhenghong were, they could roughly guess something after seeing Ye Zhengde's angry expression and the people from the Ling Mansion looking disgusted, and taking a closer look at Ye Kexin's somewhat messy attire.
"You...you really bring shame to the Third House!" Li stepped forward and pinched Ye Kexin's arm.
Ye Kexin kept sobbing quietly and didn't dare to dodge.
Tao Ling sneered, "This Mr. Lin said before the banquet that he wanted to marry Miss Ye. It seems that the two of them have been secretly in love for a long time. In this case, Mr. Lin might as well go directly to the Ye Mansion to propose marriage to the third room. What's the point of ruining my son's banquet?"
Lin Yun clenched his fists. He thought he had caught Ye Ziyu, but he didn't expect to be caught by someone. He didn't expect that the person was actually Ye Kexin.
Lin Yun: This idiot, he said it was Ye Ziyu, but in the end he was the one who got involved. No, we can’t lose this thread of the Ye Mansion.
"It's my fault. I offended the girl. I am willing to take responsibility for her." Lin Yun said.
"In that case, the betrothal gifts you brought today will belong to Fourth Miss Ye. Let's exchange engagement letters soon." Jiang Xu spoke, and the matter was settled.
*
After returning home, Jiang Xu asked everyone to disperse, and then asked Guyu to invite Ye Ziyu over.
"Mother, are you looking for me?" Ye Ziyu came to Jiang Xu.
"Master, don't you still have some official business to deal with? Go to the study and deal with it quickly." Jiang Xu said to Ye Zhengde with a smile.
"I..." Ye Zhengde noticed that Jiang Xu's face looked wrong. "Yes, yes, Xu'er is right. I still have official business to attend to. I'll go and deal with it first." Ye Zhengde walked very quickly. After going out, Jiang Xu signaled Guyu and others to leave.
When Ye Ziyu and Jiang Xu were the only ones left in the room, "Kneel down," Jiang Xu said.
Ye Ziyu knelt down as she had never seen Jiang Xu so serious.
"It was you who caused today's incident." When Li Qiu called Jiang Xu, he said that he had something to do, so Jiang Xu and Tao Ling rushed over in a hurry. However, when they arrived, Ye Ziyu appeared in good health. Although Jiang Xu was relieved, he also found that something was wrong.
"Yes and no." Ye Ziyu admitted straightforwardly, "The trap was set up by Ye Kexin and Lin Yun. I just changed the heroine of today from me to Ye Kexin."
Jiang Xu knew what Ye Ziyu meant as soon as he heard it, and his voice softened a little, "Then you could have told me the truth instead of saying that you had something wrong, which caused Ah Ling and I to rush over in a hurry, and other ladies saw us and followed us. Now don't those ladies know all about this?"
"How should I start? Should I just let Li Qiu tell Mother that Ye Kexin plotted against me, I saw through it, and then Ye Kexin and Lin Yun did something unspeakable in the guest room?" Ye Ziyu said, "If I say this, will Mother believe it? Will Madam Ling believe it? Or even if Mother believes it, will she come here so quickly? If they've finished their plan and left by the time Mother comes, what should I say then?"
Jiang Xu was speechless.
"Then you should be more tactful. At least let me and A-Ling be prepared, and don't let those ladies follow and laugh at us."
"Mother, you think, if it was me who got caught today, wouldn't they send people to catch me? Then not only would my daughter lose her innocence, but her reputation would also be ruined." Ye Ziyu said.
After hearing what Ye Ziyu said, Jiang Xu also felt that this seemed to be the case. However, when she found out something was wrong, her first reaction was to be angry at Ye Ziyu for using tricks to damage the reputation of her own sister. This was the act of a villain.
