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

The maid knocked on the door and gently opened it. Ye Yunzi walked into the room with her head down. She tried hard to think about Kui Muzhu's purpose, and suddenly raised her head.

At that moment, her heart almost stopped beating. The man in front of her was not only handsome, but his deep and dull eyes reminded Ye Yunzi of Ye Heng. The two were so similar that they seemed like brothers.

Ye Yunzi was startled and secretly clenched her fists, trying to calm her inner turmoil. She had long been aware of Ye Heng's extraordinary status, but she had never thought that he had any connection with Kaifeng State. Since Ye Heng and Kui Muzhu were so similar, there must be some kind of connection between them.

Realizing this, Ye Yunzi quickly lowered her head to hide her surprise.

At this time, a lazy and cold voice sounded: "What are you thinking about?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Yunzi's eyes. This subtle change did not escape Kui Muzhu's sight, and he felt curious. She was hesitant, unsure about the relationship between Ye Heng and Kui Muzhu, and felt that it might not be appropriate to mention it at this time.

After a moment's thought, she responded softly: "The prince's appearance is amazing, especially his eyes, which are incomparable to any treasure in the world."

After hearing this, Kui Muzhu smiled slightly and stopped asking questions, which made Ye Yunzi feel relieved.

"Do you know why I summoned you?" Kui Muzhu asked again. Ye Yunzi shook her head honestly, indicating that she didn't know.

Kuimuzhu narrowed his eyes, "I heard you can predict the future?"

Ye Yunzi was shocked. She didn't expect the topic to turn here. She guessed that the news might have been leaked from Baili Ye, but considering Baili Ye's character, he would not disclose such information casually. So, how did Kui Muzhu know it?

Trying to remain calm, she replied, "The prince may have misunderstood. I don't know where you got that statement from, but it is certainly a mistake."

Kuimuzhu's eyes became sharp, as if to penetrate her soul. "You don't have to care about the source of the information, just answer my questions." His voice was full of unquestionable authority. "One last time, can you predict the future?"

Ye Yunzi's palms began to sweat, and she felt like she was in a deeper predicament. She knew that lying was not a good option, whether facing Baili Ye or Kuimu Zhu. Neither of them would let her go easily.

Just as she was about to bite the bullet and make up a lie, the door was suddenly pushed open and Baili Ye rushed in, his face as gloomy as the sky before a storm. "What are you doing here!" He shouted, and his eyes became even colder when he fell on Ye Yunzi.

It turned out that Baili Ye received a report that Ye Yunzi was brought here. He rushed over and found that the guards were all knocked unconscious, and immediately realized that something was wrong. Obviously, Kui Muzhu's interest in Ye Yunzi was not without reason, and he seemed to have noticed some secrets.

Anyone who can foresee the future would want to possess such a treasure.

"Kui Muzhu, why are you stopping her? She is under my control!" Baili Ye shouted in a cold tone, then turned his gaze to Ye Yunzi, "Come here."

Ye Yunzi, who originally had no good feelings towards Baili Ye, saw him as a life-saving straw and was about to step forward. However, a flash of cold light appeared, a cold sword was across her neck, and a beautiful maid holding a sword blocked her way.

Ye Yunzi's steps came to a sudden stop, not daring to move. Baili Ye's face became even gloomier, "Kui Muzhu, what do you want to do?"

Kui Muzhu seemed unconcerned. Facing Baili Ye's questioning, he just smiled faintly, "Don't be angry, Your Highness. I just heard some interesting news and wanted to verify it."

"Let her go! She is just an ordinary daughter of the capital, worthless to you." Baili Ye was worried, afraid that Kui Muzhu would take Ye Yunzi away. He needed her ability to predict the future to help him ascend the throne, and now was not the time to make mistakes.

"Oh? Then why does the Fourth Prince attach so much importance to her?" Kui Muzhu asked with a chuckle.

Baili Ye clenched his fists. If he had not relied on Kuimu Zhu's troops, he would have taken action long ago. Kuimu Zhu continued, "It is said that this lady can predict the future..." When Baili Ye heard this, his pupils shrank suddenly and his body trembled slightly.

"You misunderstood! She is just an ordinary woman!" Baili Ye hurriedly denied.

"We'll know its authenticity after a try." Kui Muzhu's gaze fell on Ye Yunzi, with a hint of inquiry and coldness in his eyes.

Ye Yunzi felt uneasy and a chill ran down her spine. Her intuition told her that nothing good would happen if she fell into Kui Muzhu's hands.

Baili Ye frowned. He had originally planned to take Ye Yunzi away quickly without anyone noticing, but when he heard Kui Muzhu's words, his heart was disturbed. "What did you say? Can you test it?" he asked.

"Of course." Kui Muzhu answered easily.

"How do I test it?" Baili Ye was excited. He had never known how to judge whether Ye Yunzi was lying. Now that he had a chance to verify it, he was eager to try.

Kuimuzhu laughed out loud, "So, the Fourth Prince admits that she has this ability?"

Baili Ye's face changed, realizing that he was being tricked, but he did not respond and remained silent.

"I do have a way to quickly find out whether this woman is lying." Kui Muzhu put away his smile and said calmly.

Ye Yunzi's face turned pale, her palms were full of sweat, and she secretly thought that something was wrong. She didn't know Kui Muzhu's intentions, but if she was really exposed as lying, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Fourth Prince..." She looked at Baili Ye helplessly.

Baili Ye was conflicted. He was afraid of losing Ye Yunzi, but he also wanted to know if she was deceiving him. In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided, "Let's give it a try."

Kui Muzhu sneered and motioned the maid beside him to go get something. The maid nodded, put away the sword on Ye Yunzi's neck, walked away quickly and returned quickly, holding an old wooden box in both hands. The box looked very old, and the patterns on it were complex and mysterious.

"Master." The maid respectfully presented the wooden box.

Baili Ye stared at the wooden box with a frown on his face. "What on earth is this? How can I use it to verify it?"

Kuimuzhu walked forward and opened the wooden box. Inside lay a pitch-black dagger. The blade and handle were both black, with faint red lines visible on it, like a phoenix spreading its wings to fly. His slender fingers holding the dagger formed a sharp contrast with the darkness of the dagger.

Seeing this dagger, Ye Yunzi suddenly felt a burning anxiety in her heart, as if some danger was approaching her heart. Baili Ye was also full of doubts: "How can this thing prove anything?"

Kuimuzhu's eyes became sharp. "This is the sacred object of Kaifeng State - the Phoenix Dagger, forged by an ancient priest. Legend has it that if you stab it into the heart, you can tell whether a person is lying."
