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

Ye Yunzi pondered for a moment and replied, "I haven't made up my mind yet. Please allow me to inform Your Highness later. I believe Your Highness is trustworthy."

The fourth prince laughed: "Then you can think about it slowly. There are still many opportunities between us."

Although the words were spoken lightly, there was a deep meaning in his eyes.

Ye Yunzi's smile froze, she held the teacup tightly in her hand, feeling mixed emotions.

Ye Yunzi was not clear about Baili Ye's intentions, but she wanted to avoid having any connection with him. Her top priority now was to return to the Su Mansion as soon as possible and restore her identity.

The two of them had their own thoughts and were secretly calculating.

The arrival of the South Vietnamese envoys made the capital lively. The palace prepared a three-day banquet and invited civil and military officials and noble families to celebrate together. Baili Ye also took a carriage to attend the banquet early.

As the sky gradually darkened, Ye Yunzi looked calm on the outside, but her clenched fists in her sleeves revealed her inner nervousness. She whispered, "Si Yan..."

At the same time, in the backyard of the Su Mansion, Mu Yan's mood became more and more irritable and uneasy. Every time she saw Su, she felt an indescribable discomfort in her heart.

"Yunzi, be careful not to catch a cold. Go back to the house quickly." Su urged her daughter to go into the house with concern.

During this period, in order to protect her daughter from further harm, Su took meticulous care of her and even ordered that no one should mention the topic of disfigurement.

Accompanied by Su, Mu Yan reluctantly walked into the room. Facing the sweet-scented osmanthus and red date tea handed to her, Mu Yan felt a bitter taste. The cold reception she had received while growing up made her insensitive to such sweetness.

Seeing that her daughter was reluctant to touch the cup, Su gently asked if she needed to add more brown sugar to suit her taste.

In this regard, Mu Yan could only suppress the turmoil in her heart and change the subject, asking, "Mom, why hasn't Master Shen come to see me for so long?"

Hearing the news that Shen Siyan was ill, Mu Yan hid the plot in her eyes. This was a chance to get close to him. She pleaded, "I want to go see him."

Although she was worried that the rumors from outside would affect her daughter, after seeing Mu Yan's persistence, Su finally agreed to the request and immediately began to prepare for the trip.

"Thank you, mother." Mu Yan said gratefully.

Mu Yan arrived at Ningcaotang in a carriage. The mansion was silent and there was not even a servant to be seen.

In the past, everything here was carefully taken care of by Tao Qiming and the housekeeper. This quietness gave her some convenience.

After getting off the carriage, Mu Yan said to the people accompanying her, "You stay here and wait for me." After that, she walked into the mansion alone.

Ningcaotang was not big, and Mu Yan walked straight through the front hall and along the corridor to the door of a room in the backyard. The door was slightly open, and she pushed it gently and went in.

The air was filled with a bitter smell of medicine. A figure was lying on the bed, looking haggard, with his eyes closed and his face as pale as paper.

Seeing the sick Shen Siyan, Mu Yan's eyes flashed with surprise. This once high-spirited person was so weak at this moment. She called softly, "Siyan?"

The person on the bed's eyelashes trembled slightly, but he did not open his eyes.

Mu Yan approached silently, pretending to be worried, and reached out to touch his neck. In fact, she had a thin blade hidden in her sleeve, and she could make a fatal blow at any time if she wanted.

Her eyes turned cold in an instant.

However, the person on the bed showed no reaction, as if he was really seriously ill and had no strength to resist.

Mu Yan's hands were shaking, and she was struggling internally. Should she do it?

Adults always say that Shen Siyan is extremely smart and as dangerous as a monster.

But the person in front of him looked like a deceived fool, and even his closest people couldn't recognize him.

Is he really that scary? Mu Yan frowned, her heart full of hesitation.

At this time, the person on the bed was breathing rapidly and a look of pain appeared on his face. "Water..." he called weakly.

Mu Yan stared at him for a long time, and finally slowly withdrew her hand. Although her expression was still cold, her tone softened: "Si Yan, I'll make you a cup of tea."

As he turned around, the pair of deep eyes on the bed quietly opened, their gaze as dark as night.

When Mu Yan came back with the tea, she shook her sleeves lightly, and a pill fell into the cup and quickly dissolved. A barely perceptible sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"Si Yan, come and have some tea." Mu Yan said gently, helping Shen Si Yan up and letting him drink the cup of tea mixed with poison.

This poison will cause abdominal pain for seven days until death from a broken heart. During this period, she can use the antidote to control him and force him to tell the secret.

"Come..." Her voice was soft, but it contained murderous intent.

The weak Shen Siyan obediently opened his mouth and drank the tea in one gulp.

Mu Yan's smile became even brighter. It turned out that Shen Siyan, who made the adults so afraid, was just like this. In the end, he was defeated by her trick. She quietly watched Shen Siyan drink the last drop of tea.

Shen Siyan drank the cup of poisoned wine and then fell weakly on the bed.

Mu Yan stood aside, her eyes fixed on his face, waiting for signs of the poison taking effect.

Time passed minute by minute, but the person on the bed's breathing remained steady, with no signs of poisoning.

Mu Yan's expression changed from smug to puzzled, and finally to shock. She saw Shen Siyan drink the poisoned wine with her own eyes, how could he be unharmed?

Just when Mu Yan was about to go crazy, Shen Siyan slowly opened his eyes, his eyes as calm as water.

"How do you feel?" Mu Yan pretended to be calm, but her smile was a little stiff.

"Are you talking about the heartbreak grass? It doesn't taste that good." Shen Siyan replied calmly, with a subtle hint of sarcasm in his tone. His calmness made Mu Yan feel unprecedentedly uneasy.

"You knew it a long time ago?" Mu Yan's voice trembled, her heart filled with fear. No one could see through her disguise, but the man in front of her seemed to see through everything at a glance.

Shen Siyan just looked at her quietly and did not answer immediately.

After a moment, the corners of his mouth rose slightly: "If even you can't see it, it means my plan is successful."

Mu Yan stared at the person in front of her, her eyes full of disbelief. She almost screamed, "You are not Shen Siyan!"

The man gently touched his neck and slowly tore off a layer of skin as thin as a cicada's wing.

In an instant, a completely different face appeared in front of Mu Yan.

"This...what's going on?" Mu Yan gasped in shock, her heart pounding.

She didn't even notice that the other party used a disguise technique!

This man's disguise skills were simply perfect, far superior to anything she knew. "Who are you?"

The man who took off the mask rubbed his cheeks and showed a relaxed smile: "My name is Tao Qiming, and I am a doctor who travels all over the world. Thanks to your help, my disguise skills have been improved to a higher level."
