C1 The Long Room Destroyed!
It was the first thunderclap in Xia Zhi's life outside the window, lighting up the dark sky.
The Fu Mansion's Eastern Tomb Garden was quiet, not even the cicadas could be heard. In front of the Eastern Tomb Garden was the master's bedroom, and there were a few other rooms. On the left side was the study, on the right side was the storeroom and the kitchen. After circling around the garden, they went to the pond, and then the servants' rooms. There were two more rooms, but no one knew what they were used for.
At this time, other than the master's bedroom, the other rooms were not lit. It was obvious that the house was empty.
A few days ago, the Ye Mansion had already fallen in the struggle for the throne. The Seventh Prince, who had ascended the throne, brought a group of people and personally raided the Ye Mansion, confiscating the national treasury. The Ye Family was imprisoned, and in a few days, they would be put on the execution ground. The unmarried women were either sent to the military camp as prostitutes or sold to brothels. The light ones were even sold as slaves. The young men were sent to the brothels to receive guests every day.
Ye Yuning sat by the bed, staring at the flickering candle on the table, her mind in a daze.
It had been more than ten days since Fu Ranzhi last came to visit her. According to the old mama who came to clean the house this morning, Fu Ranzhi had been sleeping in Hui Lan and Ye Yuying's rooms. Hui Lan had been sleeping less, but Ye Yuying had been there for six or seven days every ten days.
Hui Lan was pregnant, so it was only natural for Fu Ranzhi to be there. However, she didn't understand Ye Yuying's sister.
If Fu Ranzhi really wanted to leave her for the sake of the Ye Residence, then why did he care so much about Ye Yuying?
Ye Yuning could not understand it.
"Third Sister."
The door was pushed open with a creak. Ye Yuying, who was wearing a cyan brocade dress, walked in from the outside. Ye Yuning felt that the material of her clothes was extremely familiar. After staring at it for a while, she realized that it was one of the brocade materials that Fu Ranzhi had brought back from the Cloud State last time. It was used specifically for the clothes for the Mistress. Now, it was worn by the aunt.
Seeing Ye Yuning looking at her clothes, Ye Yuying chuckled, "Dear Fu brought it back from the Cloud State. Is it good?"
Hearing Ye Yuying's words, Ye Yuning's indifferent expression suddenly changed. She stood up from the bed and said, "Dear Fu brought this back for me! Yuying, if you don't believe me, you can check it yourself!"
"Madam, this is not a twist, but it's true." Hui Lan, who was pregnant, walked in from the outside and stood behind Ye Yuying. There were a few other women with her as well. "This material was asked by Sister Yuying what color she liked a month ago. That was why the people from the Weak Water Pavilion from the Cloud State specially rushed over to bring this color back. It wasn't for you, Madam."
"That's impossible!" Ye Yuning took a step forward. "How could the material used by the Mistress be given to you as an aunt!"
As soon as she said that, Ye Yuning suddenly realized something. She seemed to have known about those things, but she had denied them time and time again.
"Because Dear Fu has long wanted me to take your place and become the head of the Fu Family!" Ye Yuying said, believing her guess.
However, Ye Yuning did not want to believe it. She took a big step back and fell to the ground. "Dear Fu loves me! How can I let you be the mistress? He doesn't like you!"
"Dear Fu, you like him! It's always me!" Ye Yuying pointed at Ye Yuning angrily, "It was me who met him first, and it was me who took a fancy to him. But you were despicable and shameless to approach him again and again! And you even used your status as a concubine to attack me! Only then did you marry him as your wife!"
"I didn't!" Ye Yuning denied, "Dear Fu and I are in love!"
"Never! You stole my things!" Ye Yuying scolded, but then she slowly smiled, "You stole the love that big uncle gave me, stole the shop that should be mine, and even stole Dear Fu's wife's position … Heh, it's fine. In any case, the long branch has been destroyed, and the things that belong to the Ye Family have all fallen into my hands. Now, I will take back what belongs to me, the position of the head of the Fu Family!"
"Take her and bring her to the pond at the back!" Hui Lan sneered and ordered the woman beside her.
Ye Yuning was startled by the meaning in Ye Yuying's words. She didn't know what Ye Yuying meant, but the woman beside her quickly came to her side.
When she was being held up by a few women, her eyes gradually widened. "The long room has been destroyed … Ye Yuying, Ye Yuying! The death of your father and mother has something to do with you? The shop, and the things of the Ye Family have all been in your hands? Ye Yuying, what do you mean! "
Ye Yuning kicked her legs to stop the women from carrying her to the pond, but the women were very strong. Not only could she not break free, but they also held her tightly.
When they arrived at the pond, Hui Lan made a gesture, and the servants loosened their hands. Ye Yuning immediately sat on the mud.
However, she had no time to care about her appearance. She got up from the ground and wanted to question Ye Yuying, but she was held by the shoulders of two women. Their hands were tightly gripped on her shoulder blades. The moment she moved, the two women gripped her shoulders so tightly that she could not help but curl up in pain.
"Ye Yuying! The things of the Ye Family! What do you mean by that?" Ye Yuning shouted at Ye Yuying, who was between the two women.
"Anyway, you are going to die anyway. It's fine even if I tell you." Stroking the pattern on the sleeve on her arm, Ye Yuying looked at Ye Yuning indifferently. Compared to her usual docile appearance, she had changed her heart.
"Aren't you very fond of Dear Fu? But I have to tell you that it was Dear Fu who worked with me and Hui Lan. He poisoned your big aunt's swallow every month and caused her to die. Then, he bribed the killers and besieged your uncle on his way back to the province. He killed him and threw him off the cliff. Do you still think that Dear Fu loves you very much? "
"Impossible!" Ye Yuning shook her head, refusing to believe what Ye Yuying said.
"Heh." Ye Yuying laughed sarcastically, "Then let me tell you, the Ye Residence had already planned everything out with the Fourth Prince. However, why was the plan that was supposed to be flawless so easily foiled by the Seventh Prince?"
Ye Yuying lifted Ye Yuning's chin and snorted lightly. Then, she flung Ye Yuning's face to the side. "That was because the neutral Dear Fu, through my cooperation with my mother, found out about the Ye Residence's plan and told the Seventh Prince about it!"
"How about it? Do you think Dear Fu still likes you, Third Sister?" Ye Yuying saw the shock in her eyes and couldn't help but laugh. When she laughed, everyone around her laughed as well.
Ye Yuning's eyes sparkled. However, at this moment, she couldn't do anything. Even if her enemy was right in front of her, she had no power to fight back. She could only hate herself for being blind.
