After Kicking Over the Scumbag, the Whole City Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 216

Gu Ying stroked her eyebrows irritably and glared at him, but her heart was sweet, "What's there to be jealous about, you're my brother, not someone else."

Ye Qingchi laughed lightly. This girl still didn't understand men.

"Alright, I'll remember what you said. Su and I are also keeping a close eye on Jiang Yin's every move. He has a Zhang Liang plan, and we have our own way. You're just a young girl, just focus on being the future mistress of the Duke's mansion, leave the rest to us men."

Gu Ying felt a warmth in her heart, and her eyes moistened slightly, "Cousin, how is uncle?"

Ye Qingchi's mouth curved slightly, "Very good. With his health, he can easily live another seventy or eighty years. When you have time, come back to see him."

"Yeah..."

She owed her uncle too much that even now, she didn't dare to see him.

"After going to Yueyang, the Prince and I will work together according to your reminder and plan our actions. Don't worry too much, nothing will go wrong."

"I know cousin and the Prince are heroes of their time, they definitely won't get into trouble." But she still couldn't completely let go of her worries. After all, Jiang Yin had the upper hand and was backed by Prince Shu. Who knows what he would do. "I'll keep in touch with you. If there's any change, we can respond accordingly."

"Alright." Ye Qingchi naturally had absolute confidence in Gu Ying. Although he didn't know why she knew so much about the future blizzard, he didn't doubt anything. He reassured Gu Ying for a few sentences, "Mother and I will leave first and come see you when we return."

"Okay."

...

After leaving the Duke's mansion,

Ye Qingchi ran into the elusive Jiang Yin.

At the corner of the long street by the teahouse, the man in blue robes and gown smiled slightly and bowed with his hands clasped, "Is Young Master Ye going home with Madam Ye?"

Ye Qingchi took one look at his clueless mother sitting in the carriage, and got off to let the servants take her back first. He was going to properly meet this man whom his sister said was sinister and ruthless.

Watching the carriage leave into the distance, the faint smile on Jiang Yin's face remained emotionless.

She was just a pathetic middle-aged madam that he threw into a brothel to be played with by thousands in his last life. Not even worth mentioning.

It was the youthful talent before him, Ye Qingchi, who was more worth his time to take another look at.

Ye Qingchi stood with his hands behind his back, carefully looking at Jiang Yin. For some reason, he didn't like this man with refined features that could even be considered handsome and had topped the imperial exam.

His tone was very indifferent. "Master Jiang, did you need something?"

The corners of Jiang Yin's lips rose, "No, I just happened to run into Young Master Ye, so I wanted to say hello."

Ye Qingchi was born into the Ye family, ingrained with innate arrogance. He especially despised those who did whatever it took to gain power through crooked means. "We don't seem very familiar with each other."

Jiang Yin was very patient. "We'll slowly become familiar. I'm quite close with your sister. May I ask how she's been recently?"

Disgust flashed in Ye Qingchi's eyes as he coldly glanced at him, "My Ye family's people and matters have nothing to do with Master Jiang."

Jiang Yin's eyes narrowed slightly, and that irritation rose in his heart again.

In his last life, this was how Ye Qingchi had always looked at him disdainfully, like he was unworthy.

Even after he married Gu Ying, the Ye family not only didn't assist them, but looked down on him.

Especially that old Ye Zhuohua. When he went to their door to ask for assistance and promotion, he had scolded him in front of outsiders, saying that he was unworthy and would eventually backfire.

Not one of them liked him. They tried to make him divorce Gu Ying many times.

Even when he later became Prime Minister,

the Ye family never changed their view of him.

In their virtuous eyes, he was just a worthless commoner, unworthy to stand with them as equals.

Hahaha...

But what happened in the end?

In the end, he made the entire Ye family die without a place to be buried. He personally cut off Ye Zhuohua's tongue that scolded him and stuffed it into his mouth, making him unable to speak for the rest of his life!

He also threw all the maids in his wife's residence, the daughters of the Ye family's side branches, into brothels and let countless men torment them!

He chopped the condescending Ye Qingchi who always tried to make him divorce Gu Ying into eight pieces and hung him on the city wall for the common people to curse every day.

So what was Ye Qingchi so cocky about?

In his eyes, he was just a defeated underling who was long dead and rotten.

In this life, he would still make the Ye family fall apart with nothing left, uprooted completely. By then, he would once again make Gu Ying watch her loved ones die before her eyes one by one.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yin's mood improved a little.

He raised the corners of his lips, but there was no smile in his eyes. "The Gu family has a family banquet on Lantern Festival night. Shan't Miss Gu come back to the Gu family then?"

Ye Qingchi's brows furrowed. "What are you trying to do?"

Jiang Yin raised his brows slightly, the smile at the corner of his lips deepening. "I'm the son-in-law of the Dongping Earl Manor. What could I do? I just want to get an appropriate big gift for my wife's sister when she returns home to her maiden family."

"Jiang Yin, are you looking to die?" Ye Qingchi was irritated inside. He coldly glanced at him, "You think backing Prince Shu means you can do whatever you want in Bianjing?"

"Am I doing whatever I want?" Jiang Yin revealed a trace of innocence. "I only want to treat Miss Gu well."

Of course Ye Qingchi knew about her improper relationship with him before she married Prince Zhao. He was instantly cold. "Miss Gu's name isn't fit for you to say."

A sinister glint flashed in Jiang Yin's eyes as hatred rose in his heart. "Does Young Master Ye still think I'm unworthy of Miss Gu?"

"Still?" Ye Qingchi sneered contemptuously. "Even if you cultivated for several lifetimes, you still wouldn't be worthy of our Miss Gu. Stop fantasizing."

As soon as this was said, it struck Jiang Yin's sore spot.

Jiang Yin's entire handsome face darkened, black clouds swirling in his eyes filled with killing intent.

Ye Qingchi had never been afraid of this man, even though Miss Gu had stressed multiple times that this man was cunning and sinister and to be careful dealing with him.

But in his eyes, Jiang Yin was just a despicable petty man who didn't hesitate by any means for fame and profit.

Not to mention making a move on him, even the Prince wouldn't let him covet Miss Gu again.

He smiled and couldn't be bothered to beat around the bush with him. He expressionlessly left from Jiang Yin's side.

But just to be safe, after returning, he specially sent someone to the Duke's mansion to remind Miss Gu to be careful of Jiang Yin herself while she was in Bianjing.

He also secretly sent several capable men to drag Jiang Yin into an alley and beat him up.

However, the men he sent back said that Jiang Yin was actually secretly protected by Prince Shu's hidden guards.

"Yo, they didn't manage to beat him up huh. This Jiang Yin has some skills, no wonder Du's men haven't been able to catch him."

The one who said this was Su.

Ever since they met, Su would often visit the Ye family. Now seeing Ye Qingchi sitting quietly at the desk in white clothes like an elegant gentleman, he really couldn't associate him with the ruthless demon who just sent people to beat someone up.

But it was pretty interesting. The gentle and refined handsome gentleman actually had the heart of a bloodless grim reaper inside.

He's a good match for Miss Gu indeed. No wonder they could become family.

Ye Qingchi said, "And you're still laughing?"

Su laughed very annoyingly. "Of course! Prince Shu secretly keeping guards, isn't that explosive news? If the Emperor finds out, it would be enough to get him executed."
