After leaving the Fourth Prince's residence and boarding the carriage, Princess Nanyue's expression immediately became serious. She ordered, "Long Man, go find out where the Fourth Prince got the news from."

Outside the carriage, a burly, dark-skinned man nodded and left.

At the same time, Shen Yuming was in deep anxiety. In recent nights, he was always awakened by nightmares, and his chest felt like it was burning with pain.

Half asleep and half awake, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and his face turned pale.

"Ah!" he screamed in his dream and saw that his robe was stained with blood and his chest was empty.

"Blood, so much blood..." The voice of fear echoed in the room.

There was a gentle knock from the maid at the door, "Sir, Sir?"

Shen Yuming woke up suddenly, feeling the pain in his chest and his whole body was cold, but when he checked, he found that his robe was clean and there was no blood.

"Young master, are you okay?" The maid pushed open the door and asked softly.

Shen Yuming looked pale, staring blankly at his chest, and even touched his face with his hand to confirm that there was no blood, and he was still alive.

As the dream became more and more vivid, Shen Yuming worried that one day it would become reality. The pain seemed to remind him that time was running out...if the situation continued to deteriorate, death seemed inevitable.

"Young Master?" The maid looked at the dazed Shen Yuming in confusion.

Shen Yuming pretended not to hear anything and mechanically stood up and walked out of the room.

The streets were bustling with people, but to him it all seemed so distant and indifferent. As he walked, Ye Yunzi's figure appeared in his mind.

She was supposed to be his, managing the household affairs in an orderly manner, and using the Su family's wealth to open up a path to officialdom.

However, the reality was that the backyard was in chaos and Ye Qianyao cried all day long.

Just as Shen Yuming was walking aimlessly as if he had lost his soul, a bright figure suddenly came into his sight. He looked up suddenly and saw a woman wearing a moon-white cloak and a silver hairpin on her bun walking slowly.

There was a maidservant beside her, and the two were chatting animatedly, while the woman nodded slightly and listened attentively.

"Yun Zi..." The light in Shen Yuming's eyes rekindled and he followed involuntarily.

The two were several meters apart. Ye Yunzi did not notice that someone was following her, and she continued walking forward with a calm smile.

Shen Yuming looked at her back, and a beautiful picture of them being a loving couple emerged in his mind: at that time, she was not only considerate but also gentle and thoughtful, and always kept everything in order at home.

At this moment, he wanted so much to have a lady like this by his side. How great it would be if Ye Yunzi could come back to him!

"Miss, how do you like this embroidery? It will be very beautiful if used on a wedding quilt!"

"There are also pillowcases and cloth shoes to embroider!"

Hearing this, Ye Yunzi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she looked extremely charming with her head down and smiling.

Shen Yuming felt as if there was a fire burning in his heart. The bright red word "囍" in front of him made him feel heartbroken. He wished he could go forward and disrupt all this.

"Yun Zi..."

A low and slightly sad voice interrupted the peaceful scene.

Ye Yunzi's whole body trembled, and she recognized the owner of the voice without even turning around.

Shen Yuming blocked the way and looked directly at the woman in front of him.

Ye Yunzi put away her smile, her face turned cold, and she said without looking at him: "Yu Shu, let's go to another place."

"Miss, let's go!" Yu Shu glanced at Shen Yuming with dissatisfaction, and helped her young lady to leave.

But Shen Yuming stood there firmly, refusing to move aside. His face was pale, his eyes were gloomy and bloodshot, as if he wanted to see through the woman in front of him.

Shen Yuming seemed unusual today, exuding a strange aura: "Yunzi, can you really not forgive me? I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have listened to Ye Ziru's words, and I shouldn't have wronged you. Everything is my fault. Please give me another chance."

Ye Yunzi felt a chill, as if she was in an ice cellar. Judging from his words, just as the Fourth Prince said, Shen Yuming had indeed become a different person.

Shen Yuming did not notice Ye Yunzi's unusual reaction and continued to talk to himself: "Now I will make it up to you and return all my debts to you."

"Shen Yuming!" Ye Yunzi shouted, interrupting his words and no longer willing to listen, "Mr. Shen, please make way, I'm leaving."

Ye Yunzi turned around and tried to leave, but Shen Yuming suddenly grabbed her arm. "Yunzi, give me a chance. I will treat you well, and I will definitely become a great man who is second to none! As long as we join forces, there is nothing we can't overcome."

Shen Yuming was emotional, but Ye Yunzi was determined not to be entangled by his enthusiasm. She had let go of the past grudges and just wanted to live a peaceful life.

"Enough." She said coldly, drawing a clear line between herself and Shen Yuming.

Shen Yuming almost lost control: "You will regret it, Yunzi. Marrying that man will only bring disaster to the whole family, and your beloved Su family will be ruined."

"Let my young lady go!" Yu Shu's eyes widened with anger, and she rushed forward and pushed Shen Yuming away. He originally thought that Mr. Shen was a gentleman, but he didn't expect that he dared to be rude to the young lady in broad daylight. It's really hard to judge a person by his appearance.

Yu Shu stood between the two of them, vigilantly preventing Shen Yuming from approaching the young lady again.

Ye Yunzi turned away with an indifferent expression, leaving Shen Yuming standing on the street, repeating in his mouth: "You will regret it..."

Even as she got on the carriage, Shen Yuming's words still echoed in her ears. Thinking of what he said about the Su family being in trouble because of her, Ye Yunzi felt a chill in her heart: "No matter what, I will never let the Su family suffer any misfortune in this life."

Since then, Shen Yuming seemed to have given up pestering her. However, the Princess of Nanyue invited her again, but this time Ye Yunzi found an excuse to decline.

This reaction made the Princess of Nanyue very dissatisfied, "Why is she so arrogant!"

The princess was extremely angry, but she couldn't find a legitimate reason to vent.

Ye Yunzi behaved impeccably and was always polite. She hid at home like a turtle. If she continued like this, the wedding date would soon be here.

"I can't accept it!" Princess Nanyue stomped her feet in protest. As time passed, her affection for Shen Siyan grew stronger.

After hearing about his heroic deeds, she felt that Ye Yunzi was not worthy of him. But now it seems that there is no way to change the status quo.

At this time, someone from the Fourth Prince's mansion came to visit. Baili Ye made tea leisurely with a confident smile on his face.

He gently stroked the teacup in his hand and said, "I invited the princess here today to confirm whether the rumor that the Nanyue Kingdom is good at using poison is true?"
