“But Sister.” Ye Ke looked at her. “Back then, why did you let the Ye family kill Princess Consort Rui? Is it really because you want to marry Prince Rui? I feel that this decision is rushed and a little unthoughtful.”

Ye Mei paused and thought for a moment before saying, “If I say that the first time I saw her, I felt that I didn’t want her to live in this world, would you believe me?”

Ye Ke was stunned, and Ye Mei was deep in thought.

When she first came to Long Ye with the Ye family, Xie Jingxing had just returned from the royal hunt with his life in danger. Ye Maocai gave her the antidote and asked her to save Prince Rui. If Ye Maocai had the antidote, then Prince Rui’s injury was most likely his doing. If Ye Mei went to save Prince Rui as a member of the Ye family, it would inevitably arouse suspicion.

Ye Maocai wanted to use Ye Mei to get close to Prince Rui. With Ye Mei’s beauty and the fact that she saved Prince Rui, she could smoothlv marrv Prince Rui.

That day, Ye Mei saw Prince Rui for the time.

Ye Mei was not into men. She was ambitious and had tricks up her sleeve. Men were tools for her to achieve her goal. If there was someone better, she would hesitate to abandon her husband for him.

Xie Jingxing was the best she had seen in her life.

He was young and powerful, and he was flirtatious and beautiful. Even when he was just lying there quietly, his noble aura still attracted people’s attention. Moreover, Ye Mei also found out from Ye Maocai that Xie Jingxing was very capable. It was normal for her to want to have such a good man, and Xie Jingxing’s coldness made her want to conquer him even more.

It was said that Xie Jingxing had a princess consort, but Ye Mei had never seen her before. Knowing that that woman was the daughter of a Ming Qi general, she didn’t think much of it. The daughter of a general was vulgar. Without a backer in the Daliang Dynasty, Ye Mei didn’t even think that she was qualified to be her opponent.

Until the moment she saw Shen Miao.

Shen Miao appeared in muddy clothes, and her hair was messy. Her face was travel-worn. However, she was standing in front of Ye Mei. Against the light, her figure was dignified and noble, like a domineering beast declaring its sovereignty.

Ye Mei was in the limelight, and Shen Miao was in a sorry state.

However, at that moment, Ye Mei had a ridiculous feeling, as if no matter how hard she tried, she could not snatch anything from the woman in front of her.

In the days that followed, Shen Miao was quite cold to her. Occasionally, Ye Mei would feel that Shen Miao had disgust and hatred towards her.

She heard that Shen Miao had parents who doted on her, a brother who cared about her, good friends, sisters, and Xie Jinginxg who liked her.

The more she compared herself to Shen Miao, the more indignant Ye Mei felt. Why should Shen Miao enjoy all the good things in this world? She was not gentle and had a stubborn personality. Why should she be favored by Xie Jingxing?

What she was most indignant about was that people who were inferior to her had a better life. Ye Mei was jealous and disgusted. She loved to snatch other people’s things. However, it was very difficult to snatch Shen Miao’s things.

What should she do then? Just make Shen Miao disappear.

Therefore, Ye Mei told Ye Maocai that only when Shen Miao was dead could she secure the position of Princess Consort Rui.

Instead of saying that Ye Mei wanted to snatch Xie Jingxing away, it was more accurate to say that Ye Mei just couldn’t stand the fact that Shen Miao was doing better than her.

Ye Maocai had alwavs wanted Ye Mei to get close to Prince Rui. so he agreed.

However, no one expected that Shen Miao didn’t die. Someone was actually willing to protect her with his life. Moreover, because of the Ye family’s rash move, Xie Jingxing seemed to be suspicious and kept a close eye on the Ye family. Because of this, Ye Maocai even took his anger out on Ye Mei.

In her life, Ye Mei had never failed to get what she wanted. She used all kinds of people she could use and had always had a smooth-saving life.

However, Shen Miao made her life bumpy.

She could not snatch Shen Miao’s man, nor could she snatch Shen Miao’s life, nor could she snatch Shen Miao’s luck..
