Chapter 4

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Before dawn, while everyone was still sleeping, a red figure flipped into Minister Liu’s backyard.

Then, she turned left and right into the woodshed in the kitchen. She casually found a place to sit and closed her eyes before falling asleep.

…

The Liu residence was in a tizzy.

Ye Yuyao hugged the blanket and almost fainted from crying.

Minister Liu, who was sitting on the bed with a dumbfounded expression on his face, only wanted some peace.

The eighteen concubines stood in the room and watched with different expressions.

As well as the panicked sons and daughters who stood at the door and caught their father in bed.

No one knew why the bride was in the woodshed while the bride’s sister was in the wedding bed.

Compared to the awkward circumstance, Ye Qingge, who was sitting in the room without saying a word, seemed much more relaxed.

However, in the eyes of outsiders, she was too shocked and did not know what to say.

Seeing that Ye Yuyao was almost exhausted from crying, Ye Qingge spoke softly.

“What… what do you think we should do?”

Minister Liu looked at Ye Qingge, who was dressed in wedding attire. He could not think straight and his reaction was half a beat slower.

She was really too innocent and beautiful. She was so beautiful that people could not take their eyes off her. Just looking at her, Minister Liu felt that he had become a few years younger.

Everyone looked at her when they heard that.

Ye Yuyao, who was sitting on the bed, suddenly cursed when she heard her voice.

“It’s you. It’s all your fault, you little bitch. You did this. I’m going to kill you.”

Ye Yuyao glared fiercely at Ye Qingge. Her eyes, which were swollen like peaches, were filled with venom.

However, even though she shouted loudly, she could not get out of bed.

Because there was nothing on her except for a layer of blanket.

“Sister…”

Ye Qingge looked at Ye Yuyao in shock, as if she did not expect her to hate her so much.

In the end, she could only endure it and not speak.

Her aggrieved look made one’s heart ache.

“All of you, go out first and wait for me in the hall.”

Minister Liu waved his hand at everyone, indicating for them to leave. He had to let them put on their clothes first.

When everyone heard this, they went to the main hall to wait. Ye Qingge also left with everyone at a leisurely pace.

Not long after, Minister Liu and Ye Yuyao arrived at the hall.

Only then did the whispering crowd shut up and look at the two of them.

“Qingge, I heard from Yuyao that you were the one who knocked her out and placed her on the wedding bed last night?”

Minister Liu looked at Ye Qingge, his eyes shining.

In the room just now, Ye Yuyao had already told him what had happened. In that case, it had nothing to do with him.

Not only did he marry Ye Qingge, but he also slept with Ye Yuyao for nothing. It was really worth it.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Although there were many guesses, they did not expect it to be like this.

“I’ll knock my sister out?”

Ye Qingge looked surprised as if she had heard something incomprehensible.

“But why would I do that?”

Ye Qingge looked around at the crowd, her eyes filled with grievance.

“Maybe you don’t want to marry the Minister?”

At this moment, one of Minister Liu’s concubines suddenly spoke.

They could sow discord at will.

Moreover, this woman was so good-looking. If she entered the Liu residence, she would definitely be favored by the Master. Now, she needed to make Master feel estranged from her.

Minister Liu’s expression froze when he heard this. He felt inexplicably unhappy.

“But if I don’t want to marry, why don’t I run away?”

Ye Qingge had an aggrieved look on her face. She wanted to say something but hesitated. There was clearly something going on.

When the crowd thought about how it was the old woman who cooked in the morning who found her in the woodshed, it was intriguing.

Everyone had another guess in their hearts.

“Could Ye Yuyao be a substitute for Ye Qingge?”

Another concubine looked at everyone and voiced her guess.

Ye Yuyao, who had been crying like a victim, was stunned when she heard this.

“What do you mean? It was clear that little b*tch who harmed me. She didn’t want to marry an old man who stepped into the coffin, so she framed me.”

When Ye Yuyao said this, everyone’s faces were filled with excitement.

Minister Liu was so angry that his goatee trembled.

The concubines were secretly laughing in their hearts. This sister of the Ye family didn’t seem to be very smart.

She had no idea what kind of situation she was in.

No matter what the truth was, her innocence was gone now.

Entering the Liu residence was certain.

What only matters was whether she was given the identity of a concubine or Madam.

“Sister, you always have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. You clearly like Minister Liu, but you have to say such hurtful words.”

Ye Qingge glanced at Ye Yuyao with disapproval on her face before continuing.

“Didn’t Sister say yesterday that I’m lucky to be able to marry a minister and become a housewife? And that I’ll be a Madam after all. I might even have a son in two years. At that time, I won’t have to worry about food and clothes. Why can’t you say nice things when you acknowledge the minister so much?”

On the surface, Ye Qingge was explaining for Ye Yuyao, but that was not the case in everyone’s ears.

It was obvious that the elder sister saw that her younger sister had married well and was indignant. She knocked her younger sister unconscious and sent her to the woodshed before climbing into her brother-in-law’s bed.

She had to play the blame game when she woke up in the morning. Even though she was a b*tch, she still had to blame everything on her sister.

“How shameless! She actually did such a thing.”

“Pfft! You’ve planned your future well. Have you thought about what to do with your sister?”

“You really can’t judge a book by its cover.”

For a time, everyone in the hall despised Ye Yuyao.

Instead, they felt even more sympathy for Ye Qingge.

After all, what Ye Yuyao said was the truth. Other than Minister Liu being a little older, a position as a Madam was not bad.

“You! You b*tch!”

Ye Yuyao was so mad that she wanted to pounce on Ye Qingge.

However, in the next moment, she was stopped by the Liu family’s servants. In the eyes of the servants, although she had climbed into the Master’s bed, Ye Qingge was still the Madam.

Naturally, they could not let her suffer.

“Do you dare say you have said nothing like that?”

At this moment, a woman about the same age as Minister Liu stood up and looked at Ye Yuyao coldly.

As soon as she spoke, the others shut up.

“But that’s not what I meant.”

Ye Yuyao hurriedly explained.

But this undoubtedly proved that she had indeed said it.

No matter what she said, everyone had a plan in mind.

They found her even more disgusting, hypocritical, and scheming.

“Since Sister and the minister are already husband and wife, I’m not fated to be with the minister. I’ve been wrongly loved. Please write a divorce letter.”

Ye Qingge’s expression was sorrowful as if she had been forced to make a choice.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

She wanted a divorce?

Although they knew what happened last night, others didn’t. Once they divorced, although she was still innocent, it wouldn’t be easy for her to marry.

Instead of divorcing, it was better to sit firmly in the position of Madam Liu.

The only bad thing was that it was a little disgusting because she had to see this sister every day in the future.

But it was better than a divorce.

“Qingge, there’s no need to do this. Let’s think about it at length! You’re my officially married Madam. How can I divorce you?”

Minister Liu became anxious when he heard this. Although Ye Yuyao was also considered a beauty, she could not be compared to Ye Qingge.

Coupled with the conversation just now, he also felt that Ye Yuyao was up to no good. She had deliberately climbed into his bed.

Therefore, it made Ye Qingge appear even more beautiful and kind-hearted. No matter how one looked at it, it was good.

How could he divorce a beauty that he had painstakingly begged for?

“I appreciate your good intentions, but my sister is no longer a virgin. If you don’t marry her, she will only die. However, if you take my sister as your concubine, how can I bear it? I’ve already made up my mind. I hope you can fulfill my wish.”

Ye Qingge bowed to Minister Liu, her eyes filled with sincerity.

When everyone heard this, they were touched. Ye Qingge was actually willing to divorce him for the sake of her elder sister. It was really touching.

On the other hand, Ye Yuyao actually climbed into her brother-in-law’s bed for the position of Madam. It was really shameless.

Only the older concubines of the Liu residence looked at each other and understood.

This Ye Qingge was not simple!

This sentence pushed Ye Yuyao to a dead end. She could either marry into the Liu Residence or go home and commit suicide.

Even the path of becoming a nun was cut off.

Was she forcing Ye Yuyao to stay in the Liu Residence and escape herself?

Killing two birds with one stone!
