You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman

Chapter 1144 (Despicable Maids)

"It's because of Mother's reason, big brother is still very filial." Ye Yuanqing could understand her big brother.

"Sigh, that palace maid actually has a tough time." Qian Yuqing sighed.

"Sister-in-law, let's go see Little Tian first."

"Mm."

The two quickly arrived at Ye Juetian's sleeping palace. In broad daylight, Ye Juetian sat in a pavilion drinking tea.

And Gong Yue sat beside him playing the zither, the melodious music lingering in the air, very pleasant.

Indeed a talented woman, Gong Yue, had all eighteen skills. Such a woman is indeed a good marriage prospect.

However, Ye Juetian never felt it, all his thoughts were on Yi Yi.

Gong Yue, playing the zither, could sense that, although she deceived him, Ye Juetian still yearned for Yi Yi...

'Why! Why am I, Gong Yue, inferior to a despicable maid! I play the zither for you, pour water for you, and in the future, I can even bear you children, help you in your career, what can that Yi Yi give you!?'

'Apart from being coquettish, what else?!'

"Little Tian." Ye Yuanqing called out, this guy seems to... have matured, unlike before in the Ye family.

Men only mature through experiencing emotions.

"Second sister." Ye Juetian stood up directly upon hearing, very excited.

Gong Yue, on the side, also stopped playing the zither, respectfully standing behind Ye Juetian.

When Ye Yuanqing approached, Gong Yue also obediently called out, "Sister-in-law, second sister."

Ye Yuanqing looked at Gong Yue, feeling that the two standing together looked quite compatible. Being able to see Little Tian get married is also good.

"Little Tian, you've turned from a boy into a man now." Ye Yuanqing couldn't help but tease, patting Ye Juetian's shoulder.

Ye Yuanqing is a general, surrounded by men when on the border, so sometimes she speaks a bit like a man.

But before her big brother, she still behaves like a woman.

Ye Juetian chuckled, indeed there is such a thing as a boy becoming a man, but that was an accident...

Gong Yue blushed directly, not expecting this second sister to be so bold.

Qian Yuqing pulled Ye Yuanqing's sleeve, indicating she's being a bit inappropriate now.

"I'll go pour water for sister-in-law and second sister." Gong Yue hastily ran off, her face flushed from being teased.

After Gong Yue left, Ye Yuanqing chuckled lightly, "Not bad, Little Tian's flirting skills are quite good. Haven't seen each other for long, already got a beauty."

"Second sister, you don't have to make fun of me, me and Gong Yue... are just pretending." Ye Juetian sighed deeply. His sister-in-law knew about his affairs, so Ye Juetian didn't need to hide anything.

Qian Yuqing sighed lightly.

Ye Yuanqing glanced at her sister-in-law, puzzled. "Little Tian, what's going on with you? Getting bullied by others and still pretending?"

"Second sister, this is a long story, I... I like someone else."

"That palace maid?" Ye Yuanqing asked in a deep voice.

"Mm."

"Do you know that maid harmed Mother?" Ye Yuanqing questioned.

Ye Juetian looked up at Ye Yuanqing, firm in his response. "Second sister, Yi Yi would never do such a thing. I can guarantee it with my life!"

"Little Tian, what do you want now?" Ye Yuanqing asked softly.

Ye Juetian sighed helplessly. "I can only marry Gong Yue, that's the only way to save Yi Yi's life. Big brother promised me."

No wonder big brother didn't kill that palace maid. So it was an agreement with Little Tian, that makes sense. After all, with such a big incident of trying to kill Le Jing happening and still not being executed, that's a miracle.

"Little Tian, Emperor Fei is dead now," Ye Yuanqing said solemnly.

"What! Dead?!" Ye Juetian exclaimed. He had been planning to help clear Yi Yi's name, but now that Huang Fei is dead, who can clear Yi Yi's name? There's no one! Yi Yi will have to bear the stigma of plotting against his mother for her whole life!

Ye Juetian covered his forehead with both hands, appearing very distressed.

"How did he die?"

"Big brother had someone kill him," Ye Yuanqing said softly. An Emperor's death, when they said it like this, it seemed so ordinary, not worth paying attention to at all.

Huang Fei's death was not undeserved in Ye Juetian's opinion, but now there's no evidence...

At this moment, Gong Yue walked over with a tray of tea. Ye Yuanqing showed a gentle smile, suddenly feeling that this woman was quite pitiful. It was obvious she liked Little Tian.

But Little Tian liked another woman, the most painful thing in life is liking someone but they like someone else.

"Juetian, sister-in-law, second sister, have some tea." Gong Yue respectfully called out, serving tea to the three of them.

Ye Yuanqing could only smile and say, "Sister-in-law is very virtuous."

"Second sister is jesting, I'm just doing my duty," Gong Yue smiled faintly.

If it weren't for Little Tian liking another girl, Ye Yuanqing would have thought Gong Yue was very suitable for Little Tian.

But Ye Yuanqing was also very curious about this Yi Yi. What kind of girl is she that captivated Little Tian like this?

The four of them sat together chatting, and Ye Yuanqing decided to go see this Yi Yi.

Exiting the sleeping palace, Ye Yuanqing whispered, "Sister-in-law, take me to see that Yi Yi."

"Really want to go?"

"Mm, I want to see what kind of person she is and have an estimate in my heart." Ye Yuanqing wanted to see why Yi Yi gained Little Tian's trust, whether she was truly a spy of Huang Fei.

Qian Yuqing nodded, and the two immediately headed towards the woodshed.

During the day, the woodshed door was wide open.

Before Qian Yuqing and Ye Yuanqing even entered the woodshed, they heard bursts of harsh cheers, mixed with the sound of whips!

"This despicable maid actually likes Prince Ye!"

"She even shouts Prince Ye's name in her dreams!"

"Doesn't even know her own status, can she climb up to Prince Ye? Does the ugly duckling dream of eating dragon meat?"

"Thinking she looks good, dreaming of becoming a princess, watch me beat you to death, you despicable maid!"

Slap, slap, slap...

Qian Yuqing's face sank, hurriedly rushing in, and Ye Yuanqing quickly followed!

The scene before them made both Qian Yuqing and Ye Yuanqing's faces darken!

They saw four or five palace maids mocking and taunting another palace maid, while that maid was curled up, enduring even a whip being used on her by one of the palace maids.

Although they were all ordinary people, being whipped was still extremely painful...

And their clothes were torn, the cruelty level was outrageous!

"What are you doing!" Qian Yuqing coldly shouted!

These palace maids were sent here as punishment for committing offences, so they were not virtuous women, quite jealous in fact. Yi Yi had been bullied for some time now, but she had always endured it, still waiting for Ye Juetian to explain himself.
