Chapter 125 Enticing Her to Make a Scene
But after secretly searching the area, they found nothing suspicious.
The brother and sister hid in the woodshed that You Hongxin had mentioned, feeling both disappointed and unwilling to give up.
“Little sister, logically speaking, if they had kidnapped someone, they would definitely have sent someone to guard them. But we have searched the entire Marquis’s mansion for so long and haven’t seen any guards anywhere. Could it be that Ninth Aunt is being held somewhere else? Didn’t you say that Eldest Aunt went to the Prime Minister’s mansion last night? Could it be that Ninth Aunt is being held there?”
Ye Shishu shook her head as she analyzed, "Ninth Aunt must have been captured by Hua Ping. Even if the Prime Minister's Mansion knows about this, they will only instigate it in secret. Knowing that Ninth Aunt is from the Prince Cheng's Mansion, if they were to capture her, it would be blatantly opposing the Prince Cheng's Mansion. If anything goes wrong, they would only give others a handle to use against them. The Prime Minister's Mansion would not do something so pointless."
Ye Shijun was filled with worry. "The most important thing right now is to find Aunt Jiu's whereabouts... If the people who kidnapped her are only after money, that's fine. But I'm afraid that they might use Aunt Jiu as bait to deal with us. If that happens, we'll be in a very passive position."
Ye Shishu looked around the woodshed, recalling You Hongxin's words.
"Little sister, what are you thinking about?" Ye Shijun nudged her with his elbow.
"Second brother, I have an idea..."
"Say it quickly!"
“We don’t know where Ninth Aunt is, but I believe it must be related to the Wei and You families! The note we received this morning only told Second Sister-in-law to bring silver to exchange for Ninth Aunt, without specifying when or where. This shows they aren’t fully prepared. Second Brother, what do you think about us finding them some work to do…”
Before she could finish speaking, Ye Shijun chuckled and added, "If they get bogged down in other things, they won't have much time to care about Aunt Jiu. That way, we'll have more opportunities to find her! Little sister, your idea is brilliant, let's do it this way!"
Ye Shishu said earnestly, "Isn't Second Uncle going to break with the Marquis's Mansion? This is a perfect opportunity! Go to Second Uncle's place later and ask him and Second Aunt to cooperate. I'll send someone to the Wei family to spread the word that You Qingrou must go back to the Marquis's Mansion and cause a scene. Then I'll have the Prince send people to keep a close watch on the Marquis's Mansion... Hmph!"
……
Wei House.
Today should have been You Qingrou's homecoming day, but she didn't go back because of anything else, but because she was feeling unwell.
This story begins on the day she got married.
She and Wei Yonghuai slept naked together at Wanfu Temple. They were both unconscious that time, and nothing happened. On their wedding night, she planned to tamper with the wine, so that Wei Yonghuai would have sex with her while he was in a daze. This would cover up the secret that she wasn't a virgin, and then in a month or two, she could legitimately say that she was pregnant…
But people are not as good as heaven.
On their wedding night, when Wei Yonghuai arrived at the bridal chamber, he not only refused to drink the nuptial wine, but also told her with disgust that he had only married her out of necessity for the sake of their family ties, and that he had no interest in her whatsoever.
Then he left the new house without looking back.
Because she was a bride, You Qingrou had been sitting all day and hadn't eaten much. When faced with Wei Yonghuai's disgust and departure, she was so angry that she went into premature labor.
Wen arranged for a reliable old woman, Jiang Ma, to be her dowry attendant. In order to prevent anyone from discovering her secret pregnancy, Jiang Ma secretly bought medicine to help her maintain the pregnancy while complaining to Wei Guangzheng and Ge about Wei Yonghuai, her son-in-law, and even claimed that You Qingrou's illness was entirely Wei Yonghuai's fault.
Wei Guangzheng and Madam Ge were well aware of the marriage between the Wei and You families. They were not at all surprised that their son neglected You Qingrou on his wedding night.
They knew You Qingrou's temper very well. In the end, their son was in the wrong, and the old couple were afraid that You Qingrou would cause trouble for them, so they had been avoiding her as much as possible these past few days, not daring to show their faces in front of her at all.
You Qingrou, on the other hand, was able to have some peace and quiet and focused on resting in bed to prepare for childbirth.
"Miss, something terrible has happened! There's a commotion at the Marquis's residence!" Jiang Ma heard the servants' discussion and quickly returned to her room to report.
"What happened?" You Qingrou asked her, frowning.
"Miss, the Ye family father and son went to the Marquis's residence today. I don't know what they did, but the Second Master and Second Madam suddenly started arguing about dividing the family property. They're moving things out of the Marquis's residence right now!"
"Second Uncle wants to divide the family property?" Upon hearing this, You Qingrou couldn't sit still any longer. She coldly cursed, "For so many years, my second uncle and second aunt haven't dared to utter a single word in the Marquis's mansion. Now they actually want to divide the family property? This must be the work of the Ye family!"
It's better not to mention the Ye family; the mere mention of them makes her hatred erupt.
Putting everything else aside, just look at the bastard child she's carrying—it was all caused by the three Ye siblings!
And then there's Wanfu Temple. Ye Shishu drugged her and forced her into bed with Wei Yonghuai! Her life has been completely ruined by the Ye family!
Now the Ye family is even going to the Marquis's mansion to instigate her second uncle and aunt to divide the family property...
It’s so deceiving!
She grew angrier the more she thought about it, and ordered Jiang Ma, "Quickly help me with my hair and makeup! I want to go back to the Marquis's mansion!"
Aunt Jiang looked at her belly with concern, "Miss, you've just recovered a bit, it's better not to..."
Before she could finish speaking, You Qingrou interrupted her coldly, "You've recovered well these past two days and are fine. Even if something is wrong, Mother will find a way to deal with it once I return to the Marquis's residence. Hurry up and get things sorted out for me; I absolutely will not allow those scoundrels from the Ye family to do as they please in the Marquis's residence!"
Jiang's mother looked at her complexion again, and it was indeed much better than the previous two days. Unable to go against her temper, she could only do as she was told.
……
When You Qingrou rushed back to the Marquis's residence, she saw that the gate of the residence was piled with household items.
Although they were all old things, she still flew into a rage and slapped one of the servants who was carrying things across the face.
"Who gave you permission to take things from the Marquis's residence? Put them down!"
The servant who had been hit covered his face and retorted indignantly, "These all belong to the Second Master's courtyard. Now that the Second Master and Second Madam are moving out of the Marquis's mansion, they naturally have to take their things with them!"
You Qingrou arrogantly retorted, "What do you mean 'their things'? These all belong to the Marquis's mansion! They can leave if they want, but they can forget about taking a single needle or thread from the Marquis's mansion!"
After saying that, she ordered Jiang Ma, "Jiang Ma, keep an eye on them. If anyone dares to touch anything again, report them to the authorities and accuse them of robbing the Marquis's mansion of its property in broad daylight!"
Then she quickly entered the inner courtyard and rushed directly to the small courtyard where You Jianchuan and Madam Ma lived.
With the help of the Ye family's servants, You Jianbin and Madam Ma were able to relax and chat with Ye Gengxin's family of four in the small hall.
Suddenly, they heard You Qingrou shouting outside, so the couple quickly went out to see what was going on.
You Qingrou was stopping the servants from moving things when she saw the couple appear. She pointed at them and scolded, "Second Uncle, Second Aunt, you are shameless! These are all things from the Marquis's mansion. What right do you have to take them away?"
