After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 422

Second Ye casually said, "Big brother, tell me what to do, and I'll arrange it right away."

The others echoed, "Yes, the Gu family not only hurt Zhuzhu, but A Ying can't follow the same path as Zhuzhu. We also need to give Zhenguo Duke Manor a lesson."

"We didn't come here for nothing this time. Whoever dares to bully the young ladies of our Ye family will be confronting me!"

"Right, right, right! We also need to thoroughly investigate Zhenguo Duke Manor, especially A Ying's husband, that Zhao Changdu!"

"If he is of the same virtue as Gu Boqing, after A Ying gives birth, we'll bring both A Ying and the child back to Haizhou."

"The Huo family also came today. Should we deal with that brat Zhao Changdu's sweetheart Huo Qiyun as well?"

"That Zhao brat is a philanderer everywhere, he doesn't seem to be a good person."

"I heard all the Zhao men are handsome. I wonder if he seduced our little A Ying with his looks."

Old Master Ye raised his hand to stop them and said slowly, "Leave the Zhao man for now. A Ying is carrying his child and must love him. I will deal with him and Gu Boqing personally later."

Everyone nodded, "Yes."

Second Ye's eyes showed deep admiration, "Big brother is decisive!"

The light in Old Master Ye's eyes froze as he said lightly and sipped his tea, "As for the others, we will stick to the old rules of the Ye family. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth."

Do they really think the Ye family has endured for hundreds of years by learning the Four Books and Five Classics so extensively?

Old Master Ye narrowed his eyes coldly. A Ying cried so miserably when she hugged him, she must have suffered grievances. Since she was aggrieved, he would make those who bullied her pay the price.

He didn't live this many years in this world for no reason.

...

The grand wedding banquet officially began at dusk.

Everywhere was covered in bright red wedding fabrics and embroidered silk. Exquisite big red lanterns were hung everywhere in the manor.

The servants were busy shuttling around in festive clothes.

The hall was filled with smiling guests. Almost half of Bianjing City had gathered around the Ye family today.

Some were delighted joyfully looking at the couple standing in the center of the grand hall, some were feeling sorrowful, and countless unmarried women looked at them with envy in their eyes.

No one had expected the eldest grandson of the Ye family to actually marry the inconspicuous fourth young lady of the Gu family with a bad reputation.

And they were holding such an extravagant grand wedding!

Many looked covetously at the hall full of gems and precious silks, gritting their silver teeth resentfully.

The two Huo sisters, Huo Qiyan and Huo Qiyun, had come with their grandfather to attend the wedding. Huo Qiyun was fine, but Huo Qiyan was unhappy.

The grandmaster had determined her to have the phoenix fate, but because of the incident at Zhenguo Duke Manor last time, she was still unmarried until now.

After Prince Shu was executed, the new Crown Prince entered the Eastern Palace, and his marriage with Ning Si gradually came onto the agenda. Today, Ning Si had also come to attend the Ye family wedding reception, sitting right across from Huo Qiyan.

The Ning family had produced a crown princess, the Gu family had produced a young madam of the Ye family.

She was still unwed at this time, how could she feel happy?

Gu Wan, as the elder sister of the bride, was naturally also present, with a dark expression on her face without a hint of a smile.

To the left of Huo Qiyun sat Li Tian from Changning Marquis Manor.

All the young ladies in the capital knew of Li Tian’s feelings for the Eldest Young Master Ye, and now sympathized with her.

"Is Miss Li willingly giving up Eldest Young Master Ye?" Gu Wan asked mockingly and smiled meaningfully. "My fourth sister is not as talented or beautiful as Miss Li. How did she win Eldest Young Master Ye’s heart then? It seems my fourth sister has some means."

Huo Qiyun was not interested in talking to Gu Wan, but hearing her words stirred her competitive streak. "Oh? Miss Gu said something true for once. However, Tian Jiejie and Eldest Young Master Ye were classmates for three years and have a relationship from traveling together. How did Gu Shuang snatch Young Master Ye instead? Could it be that Gu Shuang secretly seduced the Young Master?"

Huo Qiyun's words left much to speculate.

The means women from prestigious families used to deal with men were nothing unusual.

Gu Shuang was first engaged to Fu Xunzhi, then broke off the engagement. This showed she was not a good woman. Marrying into the Ye family, who knows if she might already be pregnant.

Li Tian gave a self-deprecating smile, her gaze lingering on Ye Qingchi’s handsome and glowing face. Over a decade of chasing ended today. Although she felt bitter, she was not clingy. Since he was getting married, she had to remove him from her heart.

Seeing the loss on Li Tian's face, Huo Qiyan asked, "Is Jiejie willing to just give up Eldest Young Master Ye?"

"What else can I do?" Li Tian replied bitterly.

"If Jiejie wants to win back Eldest Young Master Ye, there are ways."

Only then did Li Tian turn to look at Huo Qiyan with knitted eyebrows. "What ways?"

Seeing Li Tian's attitude softening, Huo Qiyan pulled her outside.

The lively hall was filled with celebrations and drinking, missing just two people did not attract any attention.

When they arrived at an empty place, Huo Qiyan took out a small green jade bottle from her sleeves embroidered with lotus vines. She smiled cunningly. “This drug can make a man lose his mind. If Jiejie gets Eldest Young Master’s body, Jiejie will certainly be able to enter the Ye family.”

Elder Marquis Huo was a famous scholar in court. How could Huo Qiyan as a young lady from a prestigious family have such a nasty drug?

Li Tian was suspicious but her expression remained aloof as she received it. “Do you know the Ye family only takes wives and no concubines?”

The corners of Huo Qiyan's mouth raised. “That’s right. So the only one who can marry Eldest Young Master is Jiejie.”

Li Tian looked at Huo Qiyan quietly. After a slight pause in thought, she put the bottle into her sleeve. "Thank you Miss Huo for your help."

Huo Qiyan was overjoyed that her scheme had succeeded. The smile at the corners of her mouth deepened as she watched Li Tian's fading back view.

In the wedding hall, Ye Qingchi wore bright red brocade robes with a black jade belt around his waist, appearing even taller. His deep black tranquil eyes were full of affectionate gazes looking at his bride before him, courteous and restrained yet deeply affectionate.

There was no lack of prestigious young masters in Bianjing City, but most were only prestigious themselves.

Ye Qingchi was different. His noble temperament was innate, making it difficult for people to look away once they set eyes on him.

Li Tian caressed the medicine bottle in her hand with slightly knitted brows.

Below the hall, the Fu family members had been forcibly brought to the Ye family by Ye family servants to attend the grand wedding ceremony.

Fu Old Lady glared indignantly with anger, her bony old hands tightly gripping the chair handles, her face alternating between green and white.

What the Ye family did was clearly slapping her old face!

Yet she didn't have the power to fight back!

Fu Xunzhi's lips quivered as he stared at Gu Shuang wearing wedding clothes with dark eyes.

He stared fixedly at her little face behind the ceremonial fan, not knowing what he felt.
