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

Although the nails didn't actually hurt her, a little more force would have left a scar.

There was a hint of venom in the maid's smile. "Such a beautiful face, it would be a shame to ruin it... Don't worry, I'm not going to destroy your appearance just yet."

After patting Baili Yue's shoulder, the maid turned and left, leaving Baili Yue alone with trembling shoulders and pale face.

Baili Yue touched the scratched spot on her cheek, which still hurt slightly, and tears flowed down her cheeks uncontrollably.

She longed to be strong, like Ye Yunzi, and to be able to face difficulties calmly. But she couldn't do it... She was afraid.

……

Ye Yunzi followed Baili Ye into a room filled with maps and scattered papers.

Baili Ye sat in a chair, staring at the map in the center, ambition flashing in his eyes.

"You know what I want." His voice was cold, and then he looked at Ye Yunzi coldly.

Ye Yunzi had a blank expression on her face, she knew Baili Ye's intention.

Baili Ye spared her life because of her so-called ability to predict the future, and wanted to use this ability to rebel. If she said something wrong, the consequences would be disastrous.

It would be interesting to know how he would react if he knew that she couldn't actually predict the future.

But now is not the time to reveal it, she can only pretend and continue to play a mysterious role to deceive him.

After Ye Yunzi pondered for a moment, she looked up at Baili Ye and said, "Your Highness wants to predict the future so that he can better deal with the war situation."

"That's right!" Baili Ye's expression revealed a hint of excitement. If he could know the direction of the future, he would be able to gain the upper hand on the battlefield, and the throne seemed to be within reach.

His thoughts drifted to that glorious moment, imagining the glory of his ascension to the throne, and that those who had framed him would not be spared. However, he quickly put away these fantasies and stared at Ye Yunzi with a sharp gaze, "Tell me quickly, what will the future be like? If you dare to lie to me, I will not let you off easily. If you don't want to taste the pain of having your tongue cut, tell the truth."

Ye Yunzi nodded in fear, frowned and thought for a moment before answering, "Your Highness, I can only foresee the future of people around me in my dreams, and they must be people I know well."

"We just met today, so I cannot foresee your future." Her words seemed reasonable, but in fact they were just to delay time and wait for the Ye family or Si Yan to come to the rescue.

Baili Ye thought for a moment and asked, "So you're saying that we can only see the future through dreams?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Ye Yunzi nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, I believe you this time. Let's talk about it tomorrow. If you still can't explain it..." He didn't finish his words, but the threat was self-evident.

"Thank you for your tolerance, Your Highness." Ye Yunzi responded respectfully.

Baili Ye ordered the guards to take her to rest and keep her under close watch. Ye Yunzi was placed in a room with closed windows and guards at the door. She knew she could not escape for the time being and could only hope for external rescue.

She sat down at the table, poured herself a cup of tea, and muttered to herself: I’ve managed to get through today, but what about tomorrow?

She knew that she had to give Baili Ye a satisfactory answer, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. She believed that both the Ye family and Si Yan would find her as soon as possible.

Ye Yunzi took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, and fell into deep thought. The fatigue of the past few days came like a tide, and coupled with the unexpected events tonight, she finally couldn't resist the invasion of sleepiness.

She glanced at the tightly closed door, and her heart calmed down a little. Then she slowly lay down and gradually fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in another place.

A beautiful maid was reporting the situation to Kuimuzhu with her head down. Kuimuzhu raised her head, a strange light flashed in her eyes, and asked coldly: "Are you sure what you heard is true?"

"Yes, master, I heard it clearly." The maid answered sincerely, not daring to hide anything.

Kuimuzhu narrowed his eyes and thought, "The ability to predict the future... If that woman really has such power..."

The maid was worried that she would be punished in the future, so she added: "Master, she may also be making up a lie. We can't believe it easily."

"We'll know whether it's true or not after verifying it." Kui Muzhu smiled slightly, with an elusive meaning in his smile.

……

Ye Yunzi's sleep was not peaceful. In her dream, the fire flickered and the image of Aliang covered in blood kept appearing. She wanted to run to Aliang, but her legs seemed to be pressed down by a heavy object and she could not move.

"Aliang..." She called in her dream, and was finally awakened by the nightmare. Her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and she suddenly opened her eyes.

She suddenly saw a dark figure standing beside the bed, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened. "Who's there?"

It was late at night and the room should have been safe. There was a guard outside the door, so how could someone break in?

The shadow said calmly: "Miss Ye, my master wants you to come over."

"Who is your master?" Ye Yunzi was still afraid, her back was wet, and her hand instinctively reached for the dagger beside the pillow, but she felt nothing - she remembered that this was not in the Ye Mansion.

“You’ll find out when you get there.”

The other party did not take any further action, but just quietly waited for her to stand up. Ye Yunzi knew that refusing would be useless, so she might as well go over by herself.

"Okay," she whispered back, standing up from the bed.

"Please follow me." The maid led the way and couldn't help but look at the woman in front of her with admiration - although Ye Yunzi had just recovered from the fright, there was no trace of fear in her eyes, as if everything was under control.

This is an extraordinary woman. If she were an ordinary person, she would have probably lost her composure long ago.

"Let's go, Miss Ye." said the maid, leading her forward.

Ye Yunzi followed the maid closely. The house was dark and she could not see the person leading the way. It was not until she walked out of the house that she noticed that the person leading the way was a slender woman.

She had a vague guess in her mind: the person who came was definitely not Baili Ye. Baili Ye was expecting her to predict the future from her dreams, so he would not come to her at night. Then, the one who summoned her could only be Kui Muzhu.

Why would Kui Muzhu, a prince of Kaifeng, choose someone of such low status as her? This confused Ye Yunzi. She had never met him before, and she couldn't see how she was valuable to him. As they walked one after the other, she saw the guard collapsed outside the door, and she didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Ye Yunzi didn't stop, but quickened her pace to catch up with the maid.

Compared to the familiar Baili Ye, this strange prince made her more worried. Although she knew that Baili Ye would not hurt her, she was not sure about Kuimuzhu...

When they came to a door, the maid stopped, turned around and said, "We are here."

Just as the maid was about to knock on the door, Ye Yunzi stopped her and asked, "Who do I want to see?"

"Our master is the prince of Kaifeng," the maid replied frankly, "Miss Ye, please pay attention to etiquette."

It was indeed Kuimuzhu. Ye Yunzi nodded to show that she understood, but her heart was full of questions.
