Although they had seen through Ye Qingge’s intentions, the concubines tacitly didn’t expose her.

After all, a slightly silly Madam of the household was far more reassuring than a beautiful and scheming Madam of the household.

At the same time, Ye Yuyao could tell what Ye Qingge was implying. That’s right, she was in the most awkward position right now.

Originally, she had wanted to use the excuse of becoming a nun and wait for the future to be peaceful before marrying an ordinary person. However, Ye Qingge had completely blocked her path.

Right now, she could only choose to stay or die.

This b*tch! How dare she harm her like this!

Ye Yuyao wished she could cut Ye Qingge into a thousand pieces, but there was nothing she could do now.

“There must be a way. Don’t worry, leave it to me.”

Minister Liu comforted Ye Qingge, but it was actually a stalling tactic.

He would let Ye Qingge stay first. After they entered the bridal chamber, wouldn’t it be great if the two sisters stayed in the residence?

Minister Liu had plenty of plans.

A pair of turbid old eyes flashed lecherously.

“I can’t let my sister stay here without any status. What will everyone think of her then? Besides, this is also for the good of the minister. I don’t know what happened exactly last night. If someone maliciously guesses that you forced yourself on her, won’t you, such a good person, be sued for nothing?”

Ye Qingge had an innocent look on her face and her eyes were filled with ‘for your own good’. She glanced at Minister Liu and then at Ye Yuyao.

If the latter wasn’t too stupid, she should know what to do, right?

Minister Liu’s face turned pale when he heard this, and he felt a little afraid.

It wasn’t that he was afraid of what others would say, but he was afraid that Ye Yuyao would bite back.

But for some reason, he felt that her words were a little strange.

However, looking at her harmless expression, he felt that she was really thinking for him.

At this moment, Ye Yuyao also had a plan in mind. She could either stay in the Liu Residence or commit suicide. Although she was unwilling, she couldn’t really give up living anymore.

However, it was impossible for her to stay in the Liu residence as a concubine. She wanted to be Madam!

Hence, she chose to remain silent. Although Ye Qingge had a divorce and left the Liu Residence, her future days would not be easy.

However, if the minister did not divorce her, she could only be a concubine.

Therefore, letting Ye Qingge leave was the most beneficial thing for her.

“Master, there are indeed some things that shouldn’t be spread. Although we know that Master is a gentleman and won’t force others to do things, not everyone knows that Master is open and honest.”

The concubine who had a lot of weight in her words said again.

As soon as she spoke, the others also followed.

“That’s right. If Master’s matter really reaches the yamen, it will be really dishonorable.”

Another concubine stood up and said, exuding an enchanting aura.

“Furthermore, who can say for sure if the person who climbed into the bed will bite back again?”

A young concubine mocked. Her words were a little personal, but clearly, no one stood on Ye Yuyao’s side.

She could only be secretly angry.

For a moment, the eighteen concubines in the hall spoke one after another.

It was really lively.

However, their opinions were surprisingly unanimous. They hoped that Master and Ye Qingge would divorce.

The women who always fought in the backyard were all veterans.

They knew very well that this sister who was as beautiful as a fairy but had extraordinary means could not be left in the residence.

Ye Qingge watched the women of different ages and charms fight in the hall.

This was probably the liveliness that Ye Yuyao liked, right?

She glanced at Ye Yuyao, the future Minister’s wife, whose face was pale and had a complicated expression.

Ye Qingge laughed silently in her heart.

She admitted that her smile was very b*tch-like!

“All right, get a pen.”

In the end, Minister Liu couldn’t stand everyone’s persuasion and made a painful decision.

Originally, he had wanted to ask Ye Qingge if she was willing to be his concubine.

However, she firmly expressed that she would never stay in the residence for her sister’s sake.

Her figure and appearance were really top-notch. Now that she was unattainable, he really couldn’t bear to part with her.

Although Ye Yuyao was also young and beautiful, she could not compare to Ye Qingge.

For Ye Qingge, he even gave fifty thousand taels of silver as a betrothal gift.

Now that he had changed people, he had to get the money back.

Perhaps Madam Ye was deliberately putting on a show and giving him a false impression.

Minister Liu’s thoughts wandered as he wrote the divorce letter.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had been played by them. He had nowhere to vent his anger and wished he could go to the Ye Residence and cause a scene.

After taking the divorce letter, Ye Qingge rejected the Liu Residence’s sedan chair and said that she wanted to be alone.

Hence, everyone in the Liu Residence saw Ye Qingge leave in a daze.

She was really pitiful.

Minister Liu could not take this lying down. He brought a few capable concubines and Ye Yuyao straight to the Ye Residence.

After turning the corner, Ye Qingge’s downtrodden appearance changed and she was full of joy.

Ye Qingge patted the divorce letter on her chest and decided to go to the ready-to-wear shop to change her clothes.

This bright red wedding dress was a hindrance to the view.

After changing into a set of emerald green clothes, Ye Qingge felt that she had been duped by her boss.

The boss insisted that she was suitable for this emerald green dress, but didn’t it look a little too young now?

Just as she was about to go back and change into a new set, she saw that the notice board was filled with people. Hence, her curiosity prompted her to lean in.

Someone shook his head and read the notice. This saved her the trouble of reading it herself.

“Over the past few months, the Northern Mang has repeatedly invaded our Great Xiao. Although there are warriors guarding the borders and fighting with their lives, the weapons in the hands of the Northern Mang army are extremely lethal, causing a large number of casualties in our army. We are finding a few wise men who are good at making weapons to discuss the upgrading of our weapons. If you can produce the weapons in the Northern Mang army, you will be rewarded with 1,000 taels of silver. Seal of the Great General Zhanbei.”

Ye Qingge nodded, feeling that the person who wrote the notice was talented.

He had learned the essence of Li Hongzhang’s ‘fight on despite repeated setbacks’.

She knew the Great General Zhanbei. In the original owner’s few memories of politics, there was indeed such a person.

Along with the Host’s father, he was one of the four generals of the Xiao Kingdom. He was a military powerhouse.

They could discuss weapons and equipment? And get money? Wasn’t such a good thing prepared for her?

Moreover, the Ye family was in a mess now. If she went back, she would definitely suffer.

Why not take a trip to General Zhanbei’s Estate first and think about what to do next?

After making up her mind, Ye Qingge found someone to ask about the location of the Great General Zhanbei’s Estate and directly went to visit.

However, it was not so easy to enter General Zhanbei’s Estate.

Before she could say that she wanted to go in, she was chased away by the two guards at the door.

“You’re not allowed to stay at the entrance of General Zhanbei’s Estate. Those who are unrelated, leave quickly.”

“Sir, how do you know that I’m unrelated?”

Ye Qingge tilted her head as she spoke as if she was asking for an explanation.

The guard saw that Ye Qingge’s expression was calm and fearless, and her clothes and speech were extraordinary. He immediately had a plan in mind.

Could it be that this girl was not an ordinary person?

The two of them looked at each other with a hint of worry in their eyes.

After all, those who could guard the door were not fools.
