54 Scheming

In the carriage back to the Ye Mansion, Ye Lily was still alone in one carriage.

Gu Yu and Jing Zhe beside her were both worried for her.

The evil reputation of Prince Yu was known to everyone in Ming Qi.

But he sent an invitation to Ye Lily.

Not to mention how inappropriate it was for a girl like Ye Lily to go.

Anyone with a clear mind could see what Prince Yu was planning.

If Ye Xin were here, he would definitely refuse at all costs.

But now Ye Xin wasn't here.

The two sisters-in-law of the Ye family were both ill-intentioned.

It was okay when Ye Lily was young before.

Now that Ye Lily was old enough to think about marriage, they naturally had their ideas on her.

Jing Zhe endured and endured.

Finally, she couldn't help but say, "Miss, that Prince Yu... What should we do about today's matter?

Why don't we have someone write a letter to the master? If the master knows about this, he will surely come back."

"Yes," Gu Yu was also worried, "That person has ill intentions.

And now in the backyard...

Besides, today the miss showed off. I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the mansion." She sighed.

Ye Lily was young before and couldn't see anything.

But Gu Yu and Jing Zhe, the two maids specially chosen for Ye Lily by Mrs. Ye, could see clearly.

The second and third rooms were clearly jealous of the reputation of the eldest room.

That's why they secretly tripped Ye Lily up.

With the narrow minds of these two rooms, Ye Lily showed off greatly today.

I'm afraid she would become a thorn in their eyes again.

They weren't afraid of anything else.

But if it was related to Prince Yu...

If they had any bad ideas, I'm afraid Ye Lily would have a hard time dealing with it.

After all, the people in the eldest room had been almost replaced by the other two rooms.

Ye Lily said calmly, "What are you afraid of? No matter what idea he has, it depends on whether he has the ability."

She was calm and composed.

The words she spoke seemed to carry a touch of dignity and a hint of ruthlessness.

Gu Yu and Jing Zhe looked at each other.

Somehow, the panic just now dissipated a little and they gradually calmed down.

When they returned to the Ye Mansion, Ye Lily only said that she was tired today and needed to rest and said she wanted to go back to the West Courtyard first.

Ye Qing and Chen Ruoqiu both smiled and said some words to Ye Lily, telling her to rest well.

Maybe they knew that Ye Lily would surely not have a good outcome if she was noticed by Prince Yu.

Their smiles also couldn't hide a hint of schadenfreude.

Ye Qing even touched Ye Lily's head affectionately and said, "Seeing that Fifth Young Lady has grown up so much and is so charming.

It won't be long before it's time to get married."

"Yes," Chen Ruoqiu also echoed meaningfully, "A girl like our Fifth Young Lady can only be matched with someone of noble status.

Ordinary families can never marry our Fifth Young Lady."

Ye Amy's face flashed with a hint of joy.

Ye Cindy couldn't wait to speak, "Of course. Fifth Young Sister will surely get a very 'noble' husband."

After saying that, she covered her mouth and giggled.

While giggling, she looked at Ye Lily with a knowing look.

But even under her rather suggestive look, Ye Lily's expression didn't waver at all.

Ye Cindy's smile stiffened.

The more calm Ye Lily was, the more angry she was in her heart.

Everyone knew the meaning of the invitation given by Prince Yu today.

That was that he had his eyes on Ye Lily.

But now Ye Lily wasn't moved at all.

I'm afraid she still didn't know the seriousness.

A hint of sneer flashed in her eyes.

She was really a fool.

"Aunties and sisters have overstated," Ye Lily said indifferently, "In terms of age, Eldest Sister and Second Sister are a little older than me.

When it comes to finding a husband, it's not my turn first."

The expressions of several people froze.

Ye Qing smiled and said, "You child.

Alas, it's not that your uncle is not in the capital all day.

Aunts are also worried about you.

As for Eldest Young Lady and Second Young Lady, your Third Aunt and I are both in Ding Jing. There's no need to worry."

"Really?" Ye Lily asked lightly.

Her clear eyes seemed to have no expression, but it made people's hearts tremble.

As if being looked at by those eyes, what was in one's heart would be exposed.

She smiled slightly, "Since aunts are so worried about me, in the future, I will always repay you."

She spoke lightly.

Somehow, Ye Qing and Chen Ruoqiu felt a hint of unease in their hearts.

But then they threw this absurd thought behind.

Although Ye Lily was a little smarter now, she was still just a fourteen-year-old girl.

How big of a wave could she make?

Besides... Thinking of Prince Yu's matter, both of them were a little proud.

"Alas, Fifth Young Lady is being polite. We are all family." Ye Qing smiled, "Since you are tired, go back and rest first.

I still have some things to do with your Second Aunt. Gu Yu, Jing Zhe, take good care of Fifth Young Lady."

Gu Yu and Jing Zhe responded and left with Ye Lily.

After they left, Ye Qing and Chen Ruoqiu looked at each other and both saw the calculation in each other's eyes.

Half a stick of incense later, the old lady Ye in Rong Jing Hall frowned and said, "You said Prince Yu has his eyes on Fifth Girl?"

Ye Amy and Ye Qing were both sent to the inner hall.

These matters were not suitable for them as young girls to participate.

Even so, the two still secretly ran behind the screen.

Despite Mother Zhang's persuasion, they eavesdropped on the conversation in the hall.

"Yes." Ye Qing was all smiles but spoke in a high-sounding way, "Fifth Girl performed outstandingly in the examination field today and caught Prince Yu's attention.

Since he sent the invitation, he must have intentions for Fifth Girl.

I think our Ye Mansion might have a princess."

When Chen Ruoqiu heard this, the corner of her mouth twitched.

Ye Qing spoke in a high-sounding way.

But Prince Yu had his eyes on Ye Lily but didn't say he would marry her properly.

Besides, even if he really married her, with Ye Lily's life, no one knew how many days she could last.

I'm afraid she would die before being a princess for a few days.

After all, the evil reputation of Prince Yu was known to everyone in Ding Jing.

Hearing this, the expression of the old lady Ye sank a little.

In her heart, she naturally didn't want the eldest room to be good.

Why was the son born by the person who died many years ago better than the one she gave birth to?

When the old general was alive, he favored the eldest room.

Now that the eldest room was going to have a princess, it really made her very unhappy.

She immediately said, "With Fifth Girl's temper, how can she be a princess? Eldest Girl or Second Girl would be better."

The old lady Ye stayed in the backyard all year round and only knew how to enjoy.

She really knew nothing about the outside affairs.

Hearing her words, the expressions of Chen Ruoqiu and Ye Qing changed at the same time.

Ye Amy and Ye Qing hiding behind the screen were also startled.

You know, the old lady Ye didn't know, but the two of them knew.

Entering Prince Yu's mansion was only a situation of being tortured to death.

It was a purgatory-like pit.

Ye Qing hurriedly said, "Mother, it's not like that. Fifth Girl, we naturally hope she will be good.

Although His Highness Prince Yu is a widower and a little older and his reputation isn't good, his family is good."

She thought of something and raised the corner of her mouth, "When Seventh Young Brother grows up in the future, with the care of His Highness Prince Yu, it will only be better.

If something happens to Fifth Young Sister, for compensation, His Highness Prince Yu will take better care of Seventh Young Brother."

She actually exchanged Ye Lily's life for Ye Yuanbai's future.

Chen Ruoqiu gave her second sister-in-law a sideways glance.

What a good calculation.
