But even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs. Jiang Wei is his daughter after all.

"Jiang Wei, your father warned you last time, but you have disappointed your father again and again." Jiang Cheng turned around and looked at Jiang Wei disappointedly, "So, you will kneel in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights, and then be confined to Mingxuan until you get married."

"Uncle!" Chen burst into tears and looked at Jiang Cheng in despair.

"Mrs. Chen, you have raised such a good daughter!" It would have been better if she hadn't said anything. As soon as Jiang Cheng heard Mrs. Chen's voice, he cursed, "You and your son, stay in Mingxuan! If you don't behave yourself, go to the Dali Temple. Don't blame me for being cruel then!"

To this day, Jiang Cheng's heart is really cold.

It has only been three years since Su passed away, and her daughter has been bullied like this. How can she rest in peace in her grave?

Jiang Cheng was so angry that he threw his sleeves and left.

Jiang Wanyue looked at the Chen mother and daughter lying on the ground and shook her head: "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

Then he turned around and left the study.

In the following days, Jiang Wanyue, apart from looking at the account books, went to Qingshang Garden to see Jiang Ye, but she did not tell Jiang Ye that she had found a doctor who could cure his leg. She wanted to give Jiang Ye a surprise.

However, since she became familiar with Su Luoluo at the poetry party, Su Luoluo sent a letter to come to the Bo's house to find her the next day.

The two girls went out shopping. In the morning, they went to Bajianji to pick out some jewelry. At noon, they went to Jiangfenglou to eat the latest dishes. In the afternoon, they went to Shuiyunjian to check out the latest clothing styles. They had a great time.

On the third day, Su Luoluo wanted to make another appointment, but Jiang Wanyue was too tired, so she politely declined the invitation. Then she chose a pair of silver magpie beads from her jewelry box and sent them to the Su Mansion as an apology.

That night, Jiang Wanyue got some free time and changed into her nightgown and went to Ye's house.

But she didn't expect to meet the man in black again in the study.

"Ms. Jiang, we meet again."

Last time, no one spoke, and just based on those eyes, Jiang Wanyue really couldn't guess who it was.

This time, it was the man in black who spoke first. The voice was so familiar that Jiang Wanyue's eyes widened in the dark.

It turns out that her last guess was right!

The man in black walked towards Jiang Wanyue and pulled down the black veil. His handsome facial features were reflected in Jiang Wanyue's eyes. Who else could it be but Xie Jingce?

She had calculated everything, but she had missed the fact that Xie Jingce would pretend. It was a waste of the past ten years of getting along with him! Jiang Wanyue was annoyed.

But she didn't say anything and she didn't take off her veil, so the other party probably didn't know who she was.

She immediately lowered her voice and asked, "Who are you?"

"It's only been two days since we last met, Miss Jiang, have you forgotten what I look like so quickly?" Xie Jingce smiled jokingly, "Or does Miss Jiang not recognize this?"

A pendant slid out from Xie Jingce's right palm.

Jiang Wanyue looked over and recognized that it was the purse she had lost some time ago.

Damn!

It must have been dropped during the last fight with the man in black, and someone had used it as a handle against him for no reason.

But she could not admit to the outside world that "Jiang Wanyue" did not know martial arts. Even if she had taught "Jiang Wanyue" a few moves in her previous life, they were just some mediocre skills and not enough to climb walls and sneak into the Ye Mansion.

Jiang Wanyue regained her composure and continued to say stubbornly, "Your Highness, you must have made a mistake. There is no Miss Jiang here. I don't recognize this purse either."

Jiang Wanyue shook her head.

Xie Jingce took Jiang Wanyue's reaction into his eyes and chuckled. His voice was particularly clear in the silent night, yet it also made people feel a little creepy.

"Miss Jiang is really gifted with a sharp tongue. Why didn't I notice it before? Or have you always been hiding your incompetence in front of me and Ye Qingwu?"

Xie Jingce seemed to have determined that she was Jiang Wanyue and simply ignored her excuses.

"What is the prince saying? I don't understand." Jiang Wanyue looked at Xie Jingce with blank eyes.

And Xie Jingce finally showed the same look as the last time they fought, sharp and murderous.

He pressed Jiang Wanyue's acupoints while she was not paying attention, pinched her chin, and pulled off her face mask with his other hand.

Jiang Wanyue's oval face, which was the size of a palm, was exposed in front of him. Since she couldn't move, she could only stare at Xie Jingce.

"Miss Jiang hid it really well. I'm afraid she fooled everyone, right?"

Xie Jingce moved closer to Jiang Wanyue, and the man's warm breath sprayed on her face. Even though she had lived two lives, she couldn't help but blush at this moment.

"I can't help it if your Majesty thinks so."

Now that her face had been seen, she couldn't pretend anymore. She couldn't tell him that she was actually Ye Qingwu reincarnated, right?

"I'll ask you again, who are you?" Xie Jingce seemed to have run out of patience, his brows turned cold.

"Your Majesty, everyone has secrets. Why do you need to delve into them? You just need to know that I will not pose a threat to you."

Jiang Wanyue was not moved at all. The more he threatened her, the more she went against him.

Xie Jingce took a deep breath, and finally took the people away from Ye Mansion and went to the Regent's Palace without saying anything.

Jiang Wanyue herself is an expert in Kung Fu. In her previous life, she has mastered the Ye family's martial arts and unique skills to perfection. However, she is still slightly inferior to Xie Jingce today.

The acupoints were untied halfway through, and due to inertia, Jiang Wanyue had to hug Xie Jingce's neck to prevent herself from falling.

"Prince, why are you bringing me back to the palace?" Jiang Wanyue looked confused.

But Xie Jingce seemed to be only concerned with his way forward, ignoring Jiang Wanyue, with a cold face from beginning to end.

After finally arriving at the palace, Xie Jingce took Jiang Wanyue directly to the study and pushed her in.

"I discovered last time that Miss Jiang's Ye family martial arts were no worse than mine, and as far as I know, she has never taught you these in a systematic way." Xie Jingce walked closer to Jiang Wanyue step by step, "Doesn't Miss Jiang need an explanation?"

Xie Jingce's eyes were red, revealing an emotion that he could hardly suppress.

The Ye family was extremely kind to him, but their loyalty for generations was stigmatized due to the emperor's suspicion, and all the members of the family were executed.

Everyone knows that Xie Jingce was raised in the Ye Mansion since he was a child. He rose to become the Regent Prince, second only to the emperor, but he did not save the Ye Mansion from the dire situation.

However, he didn't know that three months before the Ye family was wiped out, he was forced to go to the border to repel the Rongdi. Even though he knew Xie Jinghong's actions in advance, he was still one step too late and five horses died along the way.

The Ye family's martial arts are unique. Just when he thought that he was the only one in the world who knew the Ye family's martial arts and that the Ye family's unique skills had been lost, Jiang Wanyue appeared.

Jiang Wanyue met Xie Jingce's eyes and was stunned.

There seemed to be a kind of attachment and guilt in those eyes?

Why did he feel this way? What was he feeling guilty about? Jiang Wanyue was puzzled. She certainly didn't know the pain Xie Jingce felt when he wanted to save the Ye family but was helpless.

Jiang Wanyue shook her head and told herself in her heart that Xie Jingce was good at disguising himself and she shouldn't be fooled by his appearance.
