The situation in the capital became even more tense in March. The emperor had begun to take action against Ning Yunyin's forces. Many of the soldiers and officials had suffered. Because the Ye Family was busy getting married a year ago, they managed to escape this calamity.
With this, the Zhao Family was promoted, and Ye Jinsu's status in the Ye Family was even higher.
At this moment, Ye Jinsu's mind was not here. Ning Yunyin's situation at the front was not good. Since December, she had not sent any news. The Emperor spared no effort in cleaning up Ning Yunyin's forces, while sending troops to assist her.
In fact, he had even sent Ning Yunquan when Ning Yunquan's imperial concubine had been pregnant for more than seven months.
No one could understand what the emperor was trying to do.
Ye Jinsu's heart was in a mess.
In June, Princess Shu gave birth as scheduled. She had a difficult birth and gave birth for a whole day and night before she was born. It was the first time that Ye Jinsu had seen such an army. She was much calmer in her heart than she would have been if she had not let Princess Wangfei down.
By the time Princess Shu was born, she too was sweating profusely.
In July, Ye Jin Su began to persuade Ye Jin Su.
He started to prepare a new marriage for Ye Jinsu. Ye Jinsu had dragged on for more than two years, and her age could no longer drag on.
Ning Yunyin still hadn't returned.
In the capital, Ning Yunyin's influence had been largely wiped out. On the other side of the border, Ning Yunyin had suffered another fierce battle. The Qi King began to enjoy his glory once again. Ye Jingru began to hook up with the Qi King, showing off in front of Ye Jinsu all day long.
Ye Jinsu couldn't be bothered with her.
However, everyone said that Ning Wang was finished, and she couldn't take their words lying down.
Thus, Ye Jinsu rarely went out.
By the end of August, Mrs Zhao was already able to take care of the house by herself. Ye Jinxiu completely dragged her hand and spent the whole day either in the Cloud Light Temple or in the courtyard. Falling leaves began to fall outside, rustling with the sound of rustling red leaves. Ye Jinsu held the jade that Ning Yunyin had given her and sat in the pavilion without saying a word.
She had been sitting like this lately, occasionally thinking about what had happened before.
Seeing this situation, Xiao Hong could not take it anymore. She knelt in front of Ye Jinxiu and said, "Miss, let's not wait any longer."
Ye Jinsu was caught off guard by her crying. She smiled and wiped her tears, "What are you crying for?"
Xiao Hong did not speak and only shook her head, crying, "Miss, let's not wait any longer. Let the old master find a new marriage for the little miss."
Ye Jinsu didn't say anything, but her expression was a bit moved.
Xiao Hong's advice and Ye Zhenzi's advice to him had also come from Xiao Hong. He had even begun to decide on his own to find Ye Jinsu. Unknowingly, Ye Jinsu had been arranged to meet him.
In the end, he left the stage in anger.
This time, it was Mrs Shu's turn to persuade him.
In just ten short days, everyone had come to persuade her that something was amiss.
"Are you hiding something from me?" Ye Jinsu looked at Little Red and asked.
Xiao Hong looked flustered for a moment before hurriedly shaking her head in denial, "No, I didn't. We just think that if Miss continues to wait like this, there will be no end to it. "
Ye Jinxiu frowned and looked at her, not believing her in the slightest.
Something must have happened outside.
Ye Jinsu shook her off and suddenly started to walk towards the outside. However, she was stopped by Xiao Hong and choked with sobs, "Miss, don't go. You can stay in the mansion."
Something was not right.
The more Ye Jinshu thought about it, the more she panicked. She struggled for a bit before suddenly pushing Little Red away.
The jade pendant hanging from his waist loosened, and with a crisp sound, the jade pendant fell to the ground and shattered into two halves.
Ye Jinsu was stunned on the spot.
"Why is elder sister in such a sorry state?" Ye Jingru leisurely walked over from the side and mocked as she looked at Ye Jinsu.
Ye Jinxiu lowered her eyes to look at the broken jade on the ground. Suddenly, she felt as if her heart had been broken. She no longer felt safe. She was like a floating duckweed that could no longer be relied on.
Ye Jingru's mocking laughter was exceptionally ear-piercing to the ears.
Ye Jinsu squatted down and picked up the jade before coldly looking at Ye Jinru, "Since Second Sister is so free, why don't you think of a way to please your mother?"
Now, they could no longer be compared on the same level. Zhao Ruxue was becoming more and more powerful. She was able to capture Ye Zhiru firmly, and even managed to distance herself from Ye Zhiru.
Ye Jingru's face darkened as she gnashed her teeth in anger.
The moment she mentioned Zhao Ruxue, she was filled with the urge to skin her and rip out her tendons. Not only did she steal her mother's position, she also made her father become more and more distant from her!
However, very quickly, Ye Jinru's face returned to normal.
She turned her head to look at the ice-cold Ye Jinsu and mockingly said, "Elder sister still doesn't know what's going on outside, right?"
Xiao Hong's expression changed. She immediately pulled Ye Jinsu and said, "Miss, let's go back."
However, Ye Jinsu stopped in her tracks.
She turned her head to look at Ye Jingru. Her eyes were frighteningly cold. It was as if there was a poison sword hidden inside that could take Ye Jingru's life at any time.
"What's going on outside?"
Ye Jingru was frightened by Ye Jinsu's gaze, but she still forced herself to remain calm and said, "Our army is victorious. We are preparing to return to the imperial court."
Ye Jinxiu's eyes widened as her heart skipped a beat.
In other words, Ning Yunyin was finally coming back?
Ye Jingru looked at Ye Jinsu's surprised expression and quickly smiled mockingly. Her expression became even more arrogant, "But big sister doesn't know that Ning Wang won't be coming back."
"Stop it!" Xiao Hong suddenly bellowed from the side and retreated Ye JinRu without a care.
While holding onto Ye Jinsu, Xiao Hong tried her best to hold back her tears and said, "Miss, let's go back."
However, Ye Jinsu stood where she was, motionless. Ye Jingru's voice was like a sharp blade that stabbed into her brain, extinguishing the sliver of hope that she had just ignited. The cool autumn wind could not make out her chaotic thoughts. She pushed Little Red away and suddenly took a step towards Ye Jingru.
When Ye Jinru saw the stunned look on Ye Jinsu's face, the ecstasy in her eyes turned to disappointment and finally turned into a complete winter.
Ye JinRu panicked.
She took a step back and opened her mouth nervously, "Ning Wang went missing. It's been more than a month and there's no trace of him."
Ye Jinsu's expression suddenly changed.
Her hands suddenly tightened. The edge of the broken jade was sharp, cutting open her palm. Warm liquid flowed down his fingers, pricking his little red eyes.
She knelt down and tried to pry Ye Jinsu's hand away as she sobbed, "Miss, Miss, quickly let go of me."
Ye JinRu lowered her head and saw the blood on Ye Jinxiu's hands.
Her heart trembled as she completely panicked.
"This... "This is news from the front lines, I'm not lying to you. Ask yourself if you don't believe me." Finishing her words, Ye JinRu turned around and hurriedly left.
Ye Jinxiu still did not let go.
Little Red burst into tears. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break Ye Jinsu's hand. In the end, she could only pull Ye Jinsu's sleeve, "Miss, why are you crying? Let's not do this …"
After a long while, Ye Jinsu suddenly let go of her hand and casually wiped it a few times before starting to run outside.
Little Red followed behind and knew where Ye Jinxiu was heading to.
In the past two years, the family that Ye Jinsu had been going to the most often was Princess Shuang. Little Red was bandaging Ye Jinxiu's wounds while comforting her, "Don't be anxious Miss, Princess Shu definitely wouldn't want you to be like this."
Shu was nursing a child.
When he heard that Ye Jinsu had come, he wanted to persuade her again. However, Ye Jinsu stood in front of her with her eyes red. The Shu family knew that she knew everything.
Ye Jinxiu clenched her teeth tightly as her brows trembled.
"Is that true?"
