Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

"Yue'er." He whispered, as if chewing the name over and over in his heart. He understood that on the road to the throne, there were many choices that he had to make, including marriage, but once he had power, everything would be done according to his wishes.

"Whoever you want to marry in the future, I will definitely help you realize your wish." He made a promise on a quiet night, and then added: "No matter who that person is."

"Really?" Baili Yue's eyes sparkled.

"real."

Baili Yue's face blossomed with a brilliant smile, and she hugged Baili Ye's arm tightly, saying coquettishly, "Fourth brother, this is what you said. I don't have anyone I like yet, and I don't want to get married so soon. You have to help me persuade mother not to arrange a marriage for me casually."

"Okay." He looked at his sister who was snuggling beside him and nodded.

……

Rong Wanling returned to the room with a livid face.

"Young lady, what's wrong with you..." The maid covered her mouth in surprise when she saw her miserable appearance. The young lady looked as if someone had poured cold water on her, and her clothes were disheveled.

Rong Wanling was filled with anger and had no place to vent it. When she saw the maid in front of her, she slapped her hard.

"You vile thing!"

With a crisp sound, the maid's body trembled and half of her cheek quickly became red and swollen.

"Do you also think that I'm ridiculous?" Rong Wanling slapped him several times in a row until her palms became numb, and then she stopped, shaking her sore wrists.

The old maid Gui Ma Ma walked into the room and was worried when she saw this. She asked, "Miss, what happened?"

"A Xiang, get out quickly."

"Okay." The maid breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the room.

Rong Wanling tugged at her clothes in annoyance, and Aunt Gui hurriedly stopped her, fearing that her loss of composure would be seen by others. "Oh, my lady, what's wrong with you? Why are you so angry..."

"It's all Ye Yunzi's fault!" Rong Wanling said gritting her teeth.

"She tampered with my clothes and made me look bad in front of His Majesty the Fourth Prince." She paused and said no more, "Check it for me, check it immediately."

Nanny Gui guessed what was going on and knew that this matter concerned the young lady's reputation and must be handled with caution.

The nanny sent someone to check the clothes carefully and asked a doctor and a pharmacist for help, but nothing was found.

"How could this happen!" Rong Wanling's face turned pale. She remembered that when she was bumped into by a strange maid, she smelled a hint of fragrance, but now there was no trace of it. That smell was definitely not an illusion. Moreover, the maid did not look like someone from the mansion.

"Keep investigating!" Rong Wanling ordered.

She remembered something and added, "We also need to find out who went to the back garden just now!"

"Miss..." Aunt Gui was a little worried. If too many people were involved, the news might spread all over the city. In that case, the things that the young lady wanted to hide would also be exposed.

Rong Wanling was very angry. She had always been the one scheming against others, but she didn't expect that this time she would be ambushed without leaving any loopholes.

Although he knew it was Ye Yunzi's work, he could do nothing about it.

A feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart. "Forget it, don't investigate." These words were almost squeezed out of her mouth. After admitting this matter, she could only let it go temporarily. No matter how embarrassing it was, she had to swallow her anger.

"Oh, alright." Nanny Gui responded, reminding the servants not to talk about it.

The Duke's Mansion has strict rules and regulations, so there is no need to worry about servants leaking secrets.

Aunt Gui suggested softly, "Miss, you still have to attend the banquet. If you hide away from everyone, wouldn't that be exactly what that person wants?"

Although she suffered setbacks one after another, Rong Wanling felt uncomfortable thinking that this was a banquet hosted by her family and everything should be done according to her wishes.

But after listening to Aunt Gui's words, she decided to face everything. She tidied her appearance and walked out of the room.

She was dressed elegantly and had a calm expression. If one was not an insider, one would have no idea what she had just experienced.

She found Su Yu and quietly asked her if Ye Yunzi had made a fool of herself. Su Yu shook her head and told her that Ye Yunzi was safe and sound and had been sitting quietly in the corner, not at all as embarrassed as they had expected.

Rong Wanling's face suddenly changed and she became confused.

She frowned slightly and was about to go out to find Ye Yunzi to inquire about the situation, but she unexpectedly met a familiar figure at the door.

Ye Yunzi had a meaningful smile on her face. She looked at her quietly without saying much.

Seeing Ye Yunzi in a new outfit, Rong Wanling immediately understood the reason. It turned out that she had known that someone had tampered with her clothes, no wonder she had not shown up at the banquet and had not caused any trouble.

Thinking about the embarrassing situation she found herself in front of the Fourth Prince, it was all planned by Ye Yunzi!

"Ye Yunzi..." Rong Wanling had just opened her mouth when she noticed a strange maid standing behind Ye Yunzi. She was the one who bumped into her in the garden before. It was obvious that she was Ye Yunzi's confidant.

"It's you!" Rong Wanling stared at the maid named Leng Xue, a hint of coldness flashing in her eyes.

"Miss Rong, why are you in such a hurry? Is there something important?" Ye Yunzi asked casually, as if nothing had happened.

Although Rong Wanling was filled with anger, she could only suppress it, "I just... want to go for a walk."

"Oh, then I won't bother you anymore." Ye Yunzi turned to Leng Xue and said, "Let's go."

"Yes, Miss." Leng Xue responded, and the two of them walked into the banquet hall, leaving Rong Wanling alone there, shaking with anger.

Ye Yunzi chose a secluded corner and sat down, her eyes stern. She knew very well that if someone didn't offend her, she wouldn't offend them, but if someone provoked her, she would definitely fight back.

Just now, Rong Wanling tried to get close to the Fourth Prince. The Fourth Prince wanted to use the power of the United Nations Mansion and the general's order to gain support. He might be interested in marrying Rong Wanling.

On the surface, this seemed to be a good thing for the Fourth Prince, but Ye Yunzi knew that his personality was changeable and unpredictable. He would attack his confidants without mercy.

Therefore, he will not trust others easily, and will not allow any threats to exist.

Rong Wanling's actions planted the seeds of doubt in his heart, and even if they intended to form an alliance in the future, there would still be a gap in his heart.

Ye Yunzi raised her glass and took a sip of the fruit wine. A warm feeling surged into her heart and her cheeks gradually turned red.

Just then, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her, and when she turned around, she happened to meet Shen Siyan's eyes. He smiled indifferently, as if he had crossed the crowded crowd just for her.

Ye Yunzi also responded with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness.

The crowd was bustling, but their eyes met as if across time and space, and this moment seemed eternal.

As the night deepened and the air became chilly, the two left the banquet and strolled in the back garden of the Duke's Mansion. Not far away, Leng Xue was standing guard for them to prevent anyone from approaching and disturbing them.

Ye Yunzi's cheeks were flushed due to the effect of alcohol, which made her look even more beautiful.
