Chapter 2 Complex Marriage and Emotions

One night, Ye Lingyue and her friends gathered in a restaurant in the capital, drinking and getting drunk.

Li Chen, the son of the prince, patted Ye Lingyue on the shoulder, "Lingyue, what's wrong with you recently? You look sad these days, is there something on your mind?"

Ye Lingyue smiled bitterly and drank the cup in one gulp, "What else could it be? It's just that I was betrayed by the closest person. Shen Yuli got married, and I was the last one to know!

Zhao Hanlin, the son of the prime minister's mansion, "Miss Shen got married? That's a big deal. With your relationship, she didn't tell you?"

Ye Lingyue sneered, and a trace of pain flashed in her eyes, "She married Mu Xuanye, my father's apprentice, and I only learned about this news after they got married.

You were not in the capital that day? Zhao Hanlin asked puzzled!

I was with my brother in the barracks those days.

Li Chen's expression was complicated when he heard this. He sighed, "Lingyue, Miss Shen may have her own difficulties. Don't be too sad." Zhao Hanlin frowned, "If that's the case, this marriage may not be a bad thing for Miss Shen. Lingyue, you should also consider yourself and don't let these things disturb your mind." Ye Lingyue glanced at everyone, and her thoughts were all unspoken. She raised her glass and clinked glasses with several friends present one by one, "Let's not talk about it. Come on, drink!" Li Chen saw this and laughed loudly, Lingyue, in all these years, this is the first time that we brothers have seen you so sad. Don't let these troubles disturb our interest today. Zhao Hanlin came closer and whispered, "Lingyue, actually... I attended Shen Yuli's wedding, it was quite grand, but... I heard that she didn't live well after she got married."

Ye Lingyue was immediately annoyed: "Who told you that?"

Zhao Hanlin hesitated for a moment and replied, "I heard from our servants. Shen Yuli stayed alone in the empty room on her wedding night and was bullied by the servants."

After hearing this, Ye Lingyue's face suddenly changed and she stood up angrily, "What is going on?"

Li Chenran tried to comfort her, "Lingyue, don't get excited, maybe it's just a rumor."

Ye Lingyue didn't listen to the advice and hurriedly left the tavern and went straight home.

As soon as Ye Lingyue entered the house, the housekeeper came forward and whispered, "Miss, the general is meeting a guest. Do you know who it is? It is Miss Shen's father. After hearing this, Ye Lingyue suppressed her anger and decided not to disturb them. She paced back and forth in the room, her heart full of anxiety and doubts. Until she heard the sound of Shen Junhao leaving, she went straight to the study and pushed the door open. Ye Zhengshan looked up and saw her, frowned, put down the teacup in his hand, and said, "What important matter do you have that you are so anxious that you even forgot to knock on the door?" Ye Lingyue asked coldly, "Father, what is the matter with you meeting Shen Junhao?" Look at your tone? How can you be drunk! Shen Yuli looked sad.. Ye Zhengshan replied calmly, "Father has arranged a marriage for you. It is a young man from Shen Junhao's cousin's family. I heard that this young man is handsome and gentle. Father thinks he is quite suitable for you. "Father, I don't need a gentle husband. "

Ye Zhengshan put down his teacup and looked up at Ye Lingyue, "Then tell me, which young man in the capital dares to marry you? With your temper, which famous young man would not avoid you?"

Do I have to get married?

Lingyue, if you really still have a little filial piety, let your father live a stable and peaceful life. You have been making trouble for so many years, it's time to let me, your father, feel at ease.

Father, just because I have a bad reputation in the capital, do you want to find someone to marry me?

"This marriage is not a random one. Your father chose a gentle and rich young man. Moreover, your father heard that the appearance of this young man is one in a million, and he can be called a handsome young man. "

His family is a famous cloth merchant in Qingyun Town outside the capital. There are many cloth shops in the capital. The family is honest and loyal. If you marry him, you will definitely not be bullied."

Ye Lingyue was stunned, and then she was furious. I won't marry! Marry whoever you love! You actually arranged my marriage without telling me? This is my lifelong event, how can you decide it so casually? "

Ye Zhengshan frowned and said calmly, "Lingyue, this marriage is for your own good, you should understand."

Ye Lingyue was furious and asked, "Then do you know that Shen Yuli's marriage was arranged by you? Do you also know her current situation in the Mu Mansion?"

Ye Zhengshan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I know Shen Yuli is not living a happy life in the Mu Mansion, but this is her fate, and we can't do anything about it."

"You can't do anything? That was a marriage arranged by you! Have you ever thought about how she will be treated?

She is my friend, I can't watch her suffer!"

Ye Zhengshan roared, what do you want!

At this time, Ye Lingyue's elder brother and second brother also rushed to the study and tried to comfort her.

Eldest brother Ye Qingyun stepped forward and said, "Lingyue, father is also for your own good, we just hope you can have a stable life. "

The second brother Ye Qingshan also said, "Yes, Lingyue, father has considered everything very carefully, don't get too excited."

Seeing that she was still excited, Ye Zhengshan finally said angrily, "Why do you think I didn't tell you about Shen Yuli's marriage?

It was to prevent her from being criticized on her wedding day!

Aren't the rumors about you and Shen Yuli in Beijing embarrassing enough?

Your relationship has brought shame to the entire family. I did this to protect her, and even more to protect you! "

After hearing this, Ye Lingyue felt sad and tears welled up in her eyes. Shen Yuli is my friend and sister. There is no relationship between us as others say!"

Ye Zhengshan sneered and asked, "Why don't you go to the streets and ask who will believe it? Rumors have never needed evidence since ancient times, but only people's words are scary."

Shen Yuli was silent:...

Ye Zhengshan sighed, with helplessness and a little softness in his tone, "Lingyue, as you know, Shen Yuli is not living a happy life in the Mu Mansion, but if you marry obediently, I will negotiate with the prince and let him protect Shen Yuli and ensure that she will have no worries in the rest of her life."

Are you threatening me?

I just hope you can recognize the facts...you decide how to choose!

Shen Yuli...was silent for a moment...Okay, I promise you, but please...keep your promise!

The day of marriage finally came. Ye Lingyue changed her heroic appearance and wore a gorgeous red wedding dress. The brocade was embroidered with golden phoenixes and peonies, symbolizing nobility and wealth.

The lapels and cuffs were outlined with delicate gold lines to create intricate patterns, showing her temperament. She wore a phoenix crown inlaid with gems on her head, and the tassels hanging on both sides swayed gently, highlighting her beauty and nobility.

The veil was made of delicate silk gauze, covering her face vaguely, revealing only clear and bright eyes.

The bun was piled high, decorated with golden step-shaking and pearl hairpins, gorgeous and elegant. The makeup was exquisite, with eyebrows like distant black, eyes like autumn water, and lips like red dots, just like a fairy in a painting.
