When the mysterious heroine saw an outsider breaking in, she realized that her plan was going to fail and she quickly prepared for a quick battle.

The silver needle suddenly stabbed, Ye Yunzi seized the opportunity, twisted her body, and dodged the silver needle that was hitting her vitals, but the tip of the needle still hit her shoulder, and she almost fell down in pain.

When Zhilan heard the noise, she rushed over like lightning. Without saying a word, she used her lightness skills to kick the woman in the air, sending her flying.

The woman cried out "ouch", covered her chest, and could not speak clearly.

"Miss!" Zhilan shouted anxiously.

Ye Yunzi's whole body went limp. That quick move just now had almost exhausted all her strength.

"Chase." She gritted her teeth and squeezed out two words.

Zhilan understood what she meant and chased after her immediately. The woman saw that something was wrong and decided to run away. She disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Yu Shu had not yet recovered from her shock. When she saw Zhilan chasing the thief, she finally recovered and ran to Ye Yunzi, "Miss, Miss..."

She shivered and carefully pulled out the silver needle. Blood immediately gushed out, staining her clothes red.

If this silver needle really pierces the eyes, the consequences will be unimaginable!

"Miss, it's all my fault, Yu Shu. I shouldn't have left you." Yu Shu was filled with remorse. If she had been a step later, the lady's eyes would have been...

Ye Yunzi shook her head gently to indicate that everything was fine.

This time, the thief's plan failed and her eyes were saved.

"Miss."

Zhilan walked back with her head down, obviously not catching up with the woman.

Ye Yunzi knew that the woman was not an easy person to deal with, otherwise she would not have been able to get into the Ye family. Moreover, she was knowledgeable about medical theory and acupuncture points and meridians.

"Who is she?" Ye Yunzi lowered her head in thought.

Who else could be offended except the Third Aunt and Ye Ziru? Could they find such a master?

Thinking about it this way, the answer seems to be obvious.

She paused, her brows knitted into knots, and said firmly: "Find out Zhao Changfu's background for me."

"Understood sir." Zhilan nodded in agreement.

They kept the assassination of Ye Yunzi a secret, and except for their brothers and sisters in Zijin Courtyard, no one outside knew about it at all.

Su was already worried, and hadn't yet recovered from the shock of her daughter falling into the water. When she heard that her precious daughter had been ambushed again, she fainted on the spot.

"Madam, you have to take care of yourself." Nanny Zhao spoke earnestly and sighed. In this world, everyone is targeting the eldest lady and the eldest daughter, wanting to kill them all, but the master's mind is not on the Zijin Courtyard, so it is extremely difficult to get justice in this matter.

Alas, poor girl, what sin did she commit by marrying into the Ye family?

Su's face turned pale, her shoulders kept shaking, she closed her eyes to rest, and only opened them after a long time.

"Madam Zhao." Her voice was surprisingly calm.

"The old slave is here."

"We can't stay in this Ye Mansion anymore." Su uttered these words slowly, her eyes revealing a firmness and indifference, as if she had returned to the heroic daughter of the Su Mansion more than ten years ago.

"Madam?" Nanny Zhao was stunned.

Su sighed, leaned back on the couch, and lowered her eyes. "I used to hope that Wangshu would change his mind. The old man said that Wangshu was young and full of vigor, and he would naturally settle down when he got older. I waited for ten years, and his hair turned white. He has aged, but Ke Xin has become more and more confused."

"Madam..." Madam Zhao was heartbroken.

"I don't expect anything now. Even if I have to bear the world's infamy, I will take Yunzi away from here. Only the Su Mansion can give Yunzi a safe haven."

Su quietly clenched her handkerchief. This assassination attempt was like a knife stabbing her heart.

What if they are not satisfied with blinding her eyes, but want to kill Yunzi?

She was out of breath and her whole body was cold.

Su has made up her mind and is dead in her heart. Nothing can change it.

Zhao Ma was worried. If Madam wanted to escape from the Ye Mansion, she would have to divorce the master. People in the capital always looked at the man's face and only divorced his wife, not divorced. But if she was divorced, Madam's reputation would be ruined and she would be cursed by the world.

"Madam!" Madam Zhao frowned tightly.

In the boudoir.

After the assassination, Zhilan and Yushu became Ye Yunzi's personal bodyguards and dared not leave for fear that something might go wrong again.

Ye Yunzi didn't know about the Empress's plan yet and was recovering from her injuries peacefully.

With careful care, her body gradually regained its vitality, but she would still shiver from the cold from time to time. Even in the hot summer, she had to wrap herself in several layers of clothes for fear that the cold wind would get through.

The doctor said that she had coldness penetrating into her bones and needed to be treated slowly. It would be difficult to cure her completely!

At the Shen Mansion.

Shen Yuming sat there alone, drinking one cup after another, his face longer than a horse's. There were empty wine jugs all around him, and the aroma of wine was so fragrant that it could attract bees.

The servant at the door looked at him with a worried look on his face, wondering what had happened to the young master. He had become like this ever since he returned from the Qiqiao Festival.

Even when his wife tried to persuade him several times, he blocked them away and refused to let anyone get close to him.

Shen Yuming was leaning on the chair, his eyes wandering, and holding a wine jug in his hand.

"Ye Yunzi..." he muttered.

The scene of the Qiqiao Festival played like a movie in his mind. Ye Yunzi was being affectionate with another man, releasing river lanterns, and smiling like a flower.

He had never seen her smile like that. Every time she smiled at him, she always had a stern face and never showed any good expression.

What was going on? Shen Yuming clenched the wine jug tightly, the veins on his hands throbbing, and he almost crushed the jug with such force.

He thought of the little girl who always followed him around and called him Brother Shen. Her eyes were curved and her smile was brilliant. Her eyes and heart were filled with him. Her admiration was so obvious.

I found her annoying then, but now I miss her.

It felt like my treasure was taken away, like a piece of my flesh was dug out, leaving me feeling empty.

He took another sip of wine, which flowed down his neck, and his chest was wet. His eyes were blurry, and his dark pupils were full of reluctance.

"Why did you change? You obviously liked me before... why are you smiling at other men?" he muttered softly.

"Master."

The servant outside the door hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't help but stepped forward, "Master, you can't drink anymore, it will damage your health!"

Shen Yuming did not respond, as if he did not hear other people's advice.

He raised the jug again, ready to take another swig.

"Master..." The servant was anxious. He stepped forward and stopped Shen Yuming. "Master, stop drinking."

"Don't drink?" Shen Yuming looked at him coldly, "If you don't drink, how can I put out the fire in my heart?"

The servant sighed, it seemed that the young master was disappointed in love. On the night of the Qiqiao Festival, the young master specially invited the young lady of the Ye family to go out with him, but the young lady politely declined.
