Marquis Changxin naturally understood he couldnât allow Ye Zhenzhen to leave. How could he not know Chu Yihanâs cruel and bloodthirsty nature?
However, when he spoke, his tone was serious. âYour Highness, I have failed to properly guide my daughter. I hope Your Highness can forgive me. Please donât punish my daughter. As a consequence, I will confine her to home for three years without marriage. I hope Your Highness will grant this request.â
âDaddy!â
Ye Zhenzhen exclaimed, âIâm already eighteen! I canât remain unmarried for three years! Iâll be considered an old woman!â
She couldnât accept it!
She wanted to marry into a good family, not stay single forever!
âMarquis, please have mercy. Donât be so harsh on Zhenzhen. Sheâs your beloved daughter!â Su Xinlan pleaded desperately.
âShut up! If you had raised her properly and prevented her from having such thoughts, would I have to punish her like this?â Marquis Changxin snapped, his disappointment evident in his tone.
At this moment, everyone awaited Chu Yihanâs decision.
Marquis Changxinâs punishment was already severe, but without Chu Yihanâs final word, it would not be final!
Chu Yihan gently touched Su Yingxueâs face and asked, âDo you dislike her that much?â
Su Yingxue nodded. âOf course, I donât want her trying to steal you away from me!â
She had no reason to like a woman trying to snatch her future husband, nor did she need to act saintly.
âMarquis Changxin.â Chu Yihanâs voice held authority.
Marquis Changxinbowed. âYour Highness.â
âSend Ye Zhenzhen to a convent thirty miles outside the city for spiritual cultivation. Without the permission of the Princess Consort, she is not to marry in her lifetime.â
Chu Yihanâs voice was deep and commanding, resonating with authority.
Especially when he mentioned needing Su Yingxueâs approval.
Su Yingxue whispered, âHowdomineering!â
A faint smile graced Chu Yihanâs lips.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Su Han and Su Miaoyan agreed that Chu Yihanâs punishment was fitting.
Only Marquis Changxin and Su Xinlan were shocked and heartbroken.
âYes, thank you for your leniency, Your Highness.â Marquis Changxin conceded, unable to hide his pain.
âHow could this happen⦠My daughter, why did you have to send her away!â Su Xinlan sobbed as she embraced Ye Zhenzhen, her heart aching.
Su Yingxue and Chu Yihan were as ruthless as Su Qingzhi had been in the past!
âSu! Ying! Xue!â Ye Zhenzhen gritted her teeth, tears in her eyes.
She refused to cry. She wouldnât let Su Yingxue off so easily!
After handling Ye Zhenzhen, darkness fell. Su Yingxue handed the prescription to Ye Lingbai, asking him to prepare the medicine for Xu Aoqing.
Ye Lingbai expressed his gratitude profusely, and with sincerity.
Xu Aoqing gave Su Yingxue a promise, âMiss Su, rest assured, I will fulfill the promise I made to you.â
With this assurance, Su Yingxue left satisfied.
However, when Ye Lingbai saw her off, she suddenly asked him, âYoung Master Ye, have you ever deeply loved a woman?â
Ye Lingbai was momentarily surprised, then replied solemnly to Su Yingxue, âYes.â
Upon hearing this, Su Yingxue nodded, finding his response unsurprising. âDeeply loved?â
âYes.â
Although Ye Lingbai was unmarried, Su Yingxue guessed, âHave you parted ways?â
Ye Lingbai nodded. âYes, itâs been a while.â
They had separated despite their deep love, likely due to circumstances beyond their control.
âDo you still love her?â
For some reason, Su Yingxue was particularly curious.
