Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Chapter 635 Inquiring about Shen Yuming's whereabouts

In her opinion, he was just a lowly servant, not worthy of such a reaction.

"Bai Liyue, without the support of Concubine Wu and the Fourth Prince, what can you do?"

Baili Qin said coldly, watching the other person's figure disappear into the distance, then turned and left.

A few days later, in the Shen residence, Ye Qianyao sat in front of the mirror, her fingers gently sliding across the scar on her neck - that was the evidence that Ye Ziru tried to take her life.

Ever since the attack, she has been troubled by nightmares, in which Ye Ziru keeps asking her why she doesn't die.

In the dead of night, she often woke up screaming, and people in the courtyard began to discuss privately whether she had gone crazy.

In fact, she just felt extremely insecure and longed for comfort from her husband Shen Yuming.

Although she had been married to Shen Yuming for a long time, they rarely communicated with each other and had never even spent a night together.

Recently, she noticed that Shen Yuming seemed to have other concerns in his heart - the figure of the Eighth Princess vaguely appeared in her mind.

Ye Qianyao's heart was stirred. She noticed Shen Yuming's special attention to the Eighth Princess, and the vague hostility was revealed in the Eighth Princess' words.

She couldn't help but wonder if there was something going on between them.

At this moment, Ye Qianyao clenched her hands tightly, feeling mixed emotions.

She knew very well that the only person she could rely on in this world was her husband Shen Yuming, but now this pillar seemed to be crumbling.

In order to find out the truth, she called in her most trusted maid Cui'er.

"Tui Er, I have something important to entrust to you."

As she spoke, she took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and gently placed it in Cui'er's palm.

Cui'er was a little hesitant, but after seeing the lady's determined eyes, she nodded and accepted the task.

Ye Qianyao lowered her voice and said, "Go and investigate the matter between the Eighth Princess and the Master, but be careful not to let anyone find out."

Cui'er understood the importance of the matter. Although she was afraid of offending the princess, she could not refuse the lady's request.

So she left the room with her lady's instructions and the precious jade bracelet.

To Cui'er's surprise, the news came much easier than she had imagined.

A servant in the mansion accidentally revealed the truth:

It turned out that Shen Yuming had heroically rescued the Eighth Princess who was attacked by bandits on his way back, and was therefore generously rewarded by the palace.

When Cui'er told Ye Qianyao all this, Ye Qianyao's expression became serious.

She didn't show much joy, but her heart sank as she realized that things were not what she had feared.

The connection between Shen Yuming and the Eighth Princess originated from a story of a hero saving a beauty, rather than the emotional entanglement that she feared.

Cui Er smiled and said, "On the way back to the capital, the master saved the princess from being attacked by bandits."

Since this incident, the palace has sent many rewards, and the Shen Mansion’s storehouse has become full, and life has become much more affluent than before.

Ye Qianyao unconsciously clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand.

When she heard this, her heart sank - so that's why Shen Yuming was so cold to her.

However, she was unwilling to accept the fact that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed.

"Tweety."

Ye Qianyao's voice trembled slightly: "Can you help me find out the master's recent whereabouts? Tell me in detail when he left the house and where he went."

Cui Er was a little hesitant, but when she saw that the lady looked pale and was obviously very uneasy, she finally agreed.

These past few days, Ye Qianyao has always been restless. Whenever the courtyard becomes quiet, her thoughts begin to wander.

Shen Yuming didn't allow her to leave the house, which made her guess more and more crazy. She even suspected that there was an unspeakable relationship between Shen Yuming and the Eighth Princess.

Although her heart was full of doubts and pain, Ye Qianyao knew clearly that Shen Yuming was already a husband and should not behave like this.

But she had never seen Shen Yuming step into her room, or even touch her, and every time he looked at her, his eyes were full of disgust.

When Cui'er brought the news that Shen Yuming was going to attend a boat cruise tomorrow, Ye Qianyao's heart suddenly tightened.

The boat party was a place for young talents to display their talents, and as a former Miss Ye, she had also watched from afar.

And now, Shen Yuming wanted to get involved, which made her thoughts even more confused.

Finally, Ye Qianyao made up her mind.

"Tweety."

She said, "I need a favor from you. I need to go out for a walk tomorrow."

Cui'er looked at the lady, who seemed to have lost her former rationality in the past few days, but she still nodded and agreed, ready to help the lady realize this sudden wish.

Cui Er immediately objected: "Madam, this is not possible. The master has ordered that you cannot leave this yard. There are people watching outside."

Ye Qianyao stood up, her shoulders trembling slightly, and said firmly: "Cui'er, I have to go out. I want to see the situation with my own eyes."

"Madam, even if you want to go out, there are servants guarding everywhere, and they will not let you leave."

Cui'er shook her head helplessly.

In the Shen Mansion, although Ye Qianyao has the title of Madam, she actually does not have much authority.

Everyone understood that the master's heart was not with her, and he had the final say in all matters of the mansion.

If the master found out that they disobeyed his orders, he would definitely punish them severely.

Ye Qianyao walked closer to Cui'er and held her hand tightly: "Cui'er, you are the only person I can trust. Tomorrow, I must go out. Please help me go out through the back door."

Cui Er wanted to pull back her hand and said fearfully, "Madam, please spare me. If the master knew about this, I would definitely be kicked out."

Cui'er was very frightened. She had seen how the master got angry, and no one dared to provoke him.

Moreover, the lady's behavior is somewhat abnormal. What if we let her out and she causes trouble?

Ye Qianyao held Cui'er's hand tightly and pleaded, "Cui'er, this is the last time, please. This is my last request."

Cui'er broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to agree or refuse.

"Don't worry, no one will know. Usually there are few people coming here, and no one will notice if I sneak out."

Hearing this, Cui Er wavered. Finally, she reluctantly nodded: "Madam, this is the last time, really."

"Tomorrow you will put on your maid's clothes and follow me out the back door, but you must go and come back quickly. Please don't get me into trouble!"

After Cui'er finished speaking, she felt uneasy, not sure whether this was the right thing to do.

Ye Qianyao shook Cui'er's hand gratefully: "Thank you, Cui'er."

The next day, Cui'er prepared a set of servant's clothes for Ye Qianyao to change into and helped her change her appearance.

After making sure that no one was paying attention, Cui Er said softly, "Madam, you can go now. It's time for the servants to have dinner."

Ye Qianyao quickly followed Cui'er and left the yard she had not been to for a long time.

At that moment, she seemed to travel through time and space.

"Madam, come this way..." Cui'er guided in a low voice, leading Ye Qianyao towards the back door.
