Ye Mei’s expression changed slightly.

“Princess Consort looks like a good person.” Ye Hongguang lowered his head and whispered, “She’s not angry with me for slandering her like that. She’s also friendly to me. She’s a good person and doesn’t look down on me for being a cripple… Sister, I lied and wronged a good person. I feel very bad.”

“Didn’t I tell you?” Ye Mei frowned and said, “If you didn’t say that, the emperor and the empress would definitely suspect me. It’s fine if they suspect me, but the entire Ye family will be implicated. Do you want to see Father and Mother get into trouble? The royal family are not merciful. Father and Mother are old. What if they torture them?”

Ye Mei had always been polite and friendly to Ye Hongguang, and Ye Hongguang also liked this fairy-like sister. This was the first time he was reprimanded by Ye Mei like this, and she even took her anger out on him. Ye Hongguang did not dare to retort. Ye Mei continued to say, “Besides, how do you know she was wronged?”

“Princess Consort Rui said that it’s not her. The emperor and the empress also trust her.” Ye Hongguang whispered, “Sister, why do you have to lie? Why don’t you make them suspect you? Why do you have to insist that it was Princess Consort Rui who did it.”

Ye Mei finally revealed an angry look. She looked at Ye Hongguang sinisterly. “Do you rather believe her than me, your sister?”

Ye Hongguang shook his head. “I just don’t think Princess Consort is that kind of person.”

The fact that Ye Hongguang kept saying he trusted Shen Miao made Ye Mei furious. Emperor Yong Le, Empress Xiande, and Prince Rui all believed in Shen Miao. Now, even Ye Hongguang believed in Shen Miao. What kind of an enchanting witchcraft did Shen Miao use to win the trust of others?

At the thought of what happened today, Ye Mei couldn’t help but tremble with fear.

She did not expect Lu Jing to be so bad-tempered and stupid. Ye Mei came over to ask Lu Jing for information under Ye Maocai’s instructions. Unexpectedly, Lu Jing was jealous of her and actually wanted to disfigure her.

Ye Mei was not a pushover. During the argument, she accidentally pushed Lu Jing down. She fled in a panic. She originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape. Ye Maocai would definitely not help her get away with it. Ye Mei could only rely on herself. However, at this moment, she realized that after being in Long Ye for so long, she barely knew anyone. The Ye family was the only one she could rely on.

However, her luck had always been not bad. She could always escape from a calamity. Much to her surprise, Lu Jing actually died. The dead could not give witness. She was safe for the time being.

After Ye Mei slowly calmed down, she thought of a way to bribe the unfavored consort. She knew that it was impossible for her to make a flawless alibi, so she might as well make the situation even more puzzling. She asked Ye Hongguang to testify for her. Ye Mei threatened Ye Hongguang. If he did not lie, the entire Ye family would be doomed. Ye Hongguang was timid and innocent, so he agreed in fear.

However, Ye Mei did not expect Ye Hongguang to be so useless. In the end, this scheme almost backfired, and the fear the Lu family displayed towards Xie

Jingxing made Ye Mei finally understand how terrifying it was to offend Prince

Rui.

Previously, she suggested to Ye Maocai to assassinate Shen Miao. Now, she instructed Ye Hongguang to slander Shen Miao. Ye Mei felt that once Xie Jingxing found out that she was the one behind it, he would definitely not let her off..
