Wang Yiping gasped in fright. Her face turned white and sinister. Under the moonlight, it was as creepy as a ghost!

Being scolded by his father and brother had Mu YingRui’s anger rising. He ferociously kicked her and scolded, “You poisonous woman, not one day is peaceful! This Ye really regrets marrying such a troublemaker!”

He was still angry and kicked her again. “Ye did not intend to accept Lian’er so early. Since you are so concerned, Ye would deliberately ignore your wishes and take her as my concubine. We’ll have the bridal night tonight and anger you poisonous woman to death!”

He ignored Wang Yiping’s anguished wailings and walked away. His back looked decisive.

Wang Yiping collapsed in front of the bed. She stared at Mu YingRui’s back. Her lips were bitten raw, her fingernails were broken, and her chest filled with monstrous hatred. Her organs were painful enough to shift positions.

Lecher! So those days of loving affection and tender affection were fake! So he was such a fickle man!

Good, good, good. You’re heartless, so don’t blame me for being unjust. You act first so I retaliate. I would not wrong myself for such a fickle man.

What kind of man couldn’t I get with my looks and skills? I don’t have to hang myself on your tree. If I don’t give you eighteen cuckolded hats to wear, then I would be letting you down.

Wang Yiping stood up and wiped off her tears. The smile on her face was strange and eerie, giving people goose bumps.

In his courtyard, Old General Mu was clutching Zi You’s bloody and red arm, distressed until his eyes reddened.

Zi You’s skin was very white and tender, like white jade. Because she wore a sari, she was clad only in a thin layer of silk. No one knew if Zi You’s wound had porcelain pieces in it.

Faced with Zi You’s bloody gash, Née Liu’s heart ached with grief. She had tears on her face but was helpless. She didn’t know how to cope.

Old General Mu yelled, “Go urge the Imperial Doctor to hurry! Where is YingYi? Tell him to meet the Imperial Doctor personally.”

The General’s Manor’s Butler, Mu Zhong, quickly replied, “Second Ye personally went. He has been gone for a while now.”

Zi You saw her grandfather, uncle, and aunt so anxious and was a bit regretful. Her trick of injuring herself succeeded, but was it not a bit cruel to let her loved ones be so distressed and panicked over her?

“Grandather, Aunt, don’t worry. You’er can’t rest easy seeing you like this. I’m fine. The wound doesn’t hurt. To comfort her loved ones, Zi You endured the pain to reveal a smile as beautiful and refined as Epiphyllum.

Old General Mu felt even more tenderness towards his granddaughter. She was always so sensible and well-behaved. Like her mother, they both thought of others and bore grievances and pain alone.

If Dier was a little more selfish back then, Mu YingYi likely would have married her and not Née Liu.

After all, Dier save Mu YingYi’s life. They fought sided by side as comrades-in-arms suppressing the rebellion in Nanjiang. Who could compare to that?

With her illustrious achievements, asking the Emperor to bestow a marriage and push Née Liu’s marriage aside was not difficult.

However, after learning that Mu YingYi was engaged to Née Liu, a withdrawal from the marriage would have affected Née Liu too badly. Without the slightest hesitation, Dier chose to marry Mu YingRui instead.
