Chapter 161: Give her a taste of her own medicine?
"Madam, the old lady said that the fourth young lady will bring the fourth brother-in-law back home tomorrow. Please take care of it." Someone from the old lady's side came over to deliver the message.
"I understand." Jiang Xu replied.
"Returning home? Isn't it the third day after marriage? Why is she returning now?" Ye Qingyin was puzzled.
“I just didn’t expect Ye Kexin and Lin Yun to get married so soon.” Ye Ziyu said.
"Heh." Jiang Xu sneered, "At first I blamed you for setting her up, but it turns out they were together even earlier."
Ye Ziyu was surprised how Jiang Xu knew about this. She must have witnessed this incident by accident before.
Seeing Ye Ziyu's surprised expression, Jiang Xu explained, "The baby in her belly is not the one she conceived before. It was conceived earlier. Lin Yun also admitted it. Originally, the Lin family did not agree with Ye Kexin marrying him, but they relented because of this child."
"So this baby will be older in the month?"
"Well, when the baby is born, we'll say it's a premature baby."
"I never thought that Ye Kexin, who looks well-behaved, is actually such a person in private." Ye Qingyin said.
"Yeah, when Ye Xinhe was clamoring to marry Lin Yun, I thought it was her, but it turned out to be Ye Kexin."
"Anyway, neither of them is good." Ye Qingyin pursed her lips.
"Okay, you can't say that in front of others. After all, she is still the daughter of the Ye family, your own sister. If outsiders hear it, who knows what they will say about you." Jiang Xu said.
"I know, mother. I will tell you about it in front of you."
The two sisters accompanied Jiang Xu to finish lunch and chatted for a while. Seeing that Jiang Xu was a little tired, the two sisters left and went back to their rooms.
After returning to the room.
"Miss." Mo Qing came to find Ye Ziyu.
"How about it?"
"I told him, but he said he would ask."
"Want to ask?" Ye Ziyu understood. It seemed that the young doctor was Fang Jingxiu's man. At first, she thought that the young doctor was alone. But if that was the case, then Fang Jingxiu would know that she had asked him to treat Jiang Xu.
"Okay, if you can come, tell me and I'll tell my mother in advance."
"Yes."
"Miss, the second lady is here to see you." Lixia said.
"You go down first." Ye Ziyu said to Mo Qing, then turned to look at Lixia, "What did she come for? Did she say anything?"
Lixia shook her head, "No, I just said I wanted to see you."
"Go ahead and invite me."
"Third sister." Ye Xinhe called Ye Ziyu as soon as she entered the room.
Ye Ziyu smiled slightly, "What do you want to talk to me about, Second Sister?"
"My fourth sister will bring her brother-in-law back home tomorrow."
"I know." Ye Ziyu said lightly.
"Thinking back then, she framed you and stole your fiancé..."
"Second sister, please don't talk nonsense. Master Lin and I have not yet been engaged, so how can there be a fiancé?"
"Oh? Really? But a lot of people must have known that Mr. Lin was fond of the third sister." Ye Xinhe said.
Ye Ziyu frowned, "No one should know about this." Ye Ziyu looked at Ye Xinhe with an inquiring look.
Ye Xinhe felt uncomfortable being stared at, "What do you want?" Ye Ziyu asked.
Ye Ziyu felt that there must be something wrong when Ye Xinhe came to see her, after all, Ye Xinhe had insisted on marrying Lin Yun.
"Since she has stolen your beloved, don't you want to teach her a lesson?"
Ye Ziyu felt puzzled. "First of all, I don't have any love for Mr. Lin, and I don't know where my second sister heard that Mr. Lin is my beloved. Secondly, since my fourth sister has already married Mr. Lin, the matter is set in stone. Why should I teach her a lesson? Moreover, my second sister told me so blatantly that she wanted to take action against my fourth sister. This is not good."
"You... I just saw that you were bullied by her before, so I asked you if you want revenge."
"No need. Besides, I advise you, second sister, don't cause any trouble at the fourth sister's return banquet tomorrow, otherwise it will be embarrassing for the Ye family." Ye Ziyu smiled slightly, "Second sister, go back if you have nothing else to do. I'm tired."
"You..." Ye Xinhe waved her sleeves and left, "You don't know what's good for you. I'm here to help you vent your anger."
Ye Ziyu rubbed his temple, "Miss?"
"I'm a little tired. I'll take a break."
"Okay." Lixia helped Ye Ziyu to go to bed to rest.

"You can go and help out when you have time." Mo Qin reported to Fang Jingxiu that Ye Ziyu asked him to treat Jiang Xu. Fang Jingxiu said after hearing this.
"Yes, Master, the reward..."
"It's up to you, but don't ask for too much."
"clear."
After Mo Qin left, Qin Luoheng came.
"Everything is arranged."
Fang Jingxiu and Qin Luoheng left Zhu County and went directly to Liangzhou, met the King of Liangzhou, and told him what had happened. The King of Liangzhou promised to increase patrols to prevent the trafficking of young girls, and would also keep an eye out and tell Fang Jingxiu and the others if there was any situation.
Afterwards, the King of Liangzhou asked his daughter to come to the capital, saying that she was the one who was going to pay a visit to the Emperor on behalf of the King of Liangzhou.
"Why do you look so sad?" Fang Jingxiu asked, "Didn't you say that the matter has been settled?"
"The matter was settled, but Aqing became very strange."
"Huh? Why is it so strange?"
"She seems to be avoiding me."
"Hiding from you? Why?"
Qin Luoheng glanced at Fang Jingxiu resentfully, "If I knew why, would I be so distressed?"
"Then just go and ask and you'll know." Fang Jingxiu said slowly.
"Ask Achen? Achen doesn't know as much about his sister as I do."
Then Fang Jingxiu smiled and said, "I'll ask for you."
"Why do you ask? Who do you ask?" Qin Luoheng's eyes lit up.
"Just wait and find out the answer."
"Row."

When Ye Ziyu woke up, it was dark outside. "Is this travel syndrome? Why am I so tired after coming back? It's like I can never get enough sleep."
"Are you awake? You're sleeping like a pig." A male voice sounded.
Ye Ziyu looked towards the direction where the voice came from vigilantly. The figure looked familiar, and then a faint woody fragrance came, which was a familiar smell.
"Young Marquis really needs to change your habit of breaking into the boudoir at night. You are not afraid of a bad reputation, but I am afraid of a bad reputation for myself." Ye Ziyu said.
"I wanted to ask you something, but you slept so soundly that it's so late."
"I think this is not the first time I've said this, can't the young marquis go through the main gate? Is there thorns on the gate that will prick the young marquis' feet?" Ye Ziyu retorted.
"But I just don't like going through the main door." Fang Jingxiu smiled instead of getting angry.
Ye Ziyu rolled her eyes, "What do you want from me, young marquis?"
"You won't get up?"
"...If you have something to say, say it now. If you have to fart, fart now." Ye Ziyu said impatiently.
"You should get up and have your meal first. I'll come back later." After saying that, Fang Jingxiu walked out of the window.
"...Is this person sick?" Ye Ziyu was speechless.
"beginning of summer."
"Miss." After a while, Lixia pushed open the door.
"Serve me."
"Yes." Lixia came in and lit the candlesticks.
"Were you not outside the door just now?"
"I was here when the young lady was sleeping. Just now the concierge said someone was looking for the young lady, so I left for a while."
"Did you hear any noises in the house while you were there?"
Lixia shook her head, "No, what's wrong, miss?"
"It's okay. I just want to confirm whether I am talking in my sleep. Who is looking for the concierge?"
"It's Miss Yuan. The Yuan family is going to hold a small banquet and would like to invite you, Miss. So I sent you a visiting card. Will you go?"
"No, I'm not familiar with her, so just reject it." Ye Ziyu refused directly.
"Yes."
After Lixia helped Ye Ziyu to wash up, she said, "I will go to the small kitchen to serve the food."
"Well, let's go."
