You Cannot Afford To Offend My Woman

Chapter 1140 (Heart Like Dead Ashes)

”Qing Yutong, whose side are you on?” Qing Ya was frustrated. Was her sister pretending to be on Ye Huaʼs side every time?

Qing Yutong said in a deep voice, ”Too much happened tonight. Lie Gu was poisoned, and the one who poisoned him was Qing Xu, one of Brother-in-lawʼs subordinates. Qing Xu also kidnapped Dou Fushi, and his whereabouts are unknown. The most important thing is Wei Chang! Heʼs missing! And it happened after a fight with someone else. Now, Brother-in-law canʼt even contact him.”

As Qing Yutong finished speaking, Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi fell silent.

Qian Yuqing still didnʼt understand many things, like who Ye Huaʼs subordinates were. Sometimes, she didnʼt even know who was who, and Ye Hua didnʼt bother introducing her. So, what Qing Yutong said was confusing for her. She only knew that someone important to Ye Hua was missing.

Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi were both shocked. Wei Chang was missing! Given his close relationship with Ye Hua, his disappearance would undoubtedly worry Ye Hua.

Donghuang Baizhi now remembered going to the bar; Wei Chang had accompanied Ye Hua. Wei Changʼs disappearance would definitely upset Ye Hua.

Even Dou Fushi had been kidnapped. Too many unfortunate events occurred tonight.

”Sisters, Brother-in-law is really not in a good mood tonight. You should wait another day before bothering him. Let him handle things first.” Qing Yutong suggested, advising them not to add to the troubles tonight.

Qing Ya was somewhat impressed with her sister. She didnʼt expect her sister to change so much this time. Qing Ya patted Qing Yutongʼs shoulder and said with deep emotion, ”Yutong, sister is now very relieved. Youʼve finally matured.”

Qing Yutong: ”...”

ʼGo to hell with maturity; Iʼm still in my youth. Iʼm eighteen every year!ʼ

On the other side, Ye Zizi, Brittany, and Jue Tian arrived at the firewood room.

It was late, and they could hear the sound of chopping wood inside the firewood room.

The three exchanged glances; someone was still awake.

Instead of entering from the front, they appeared stealthily inside the firewood room, heading towards the figure chopping wood.

When they saw the woman, Ye Zizi and Brittany both showed expressions of astonishment. What a beautiful woman!

Even Jue Tian thought she was very beautiful. Although he had secretly taken a glance before, seeing her for the second time made him feel that she was indeed beautiful.

Ye Zizi and Brittany now understood why Your Majestyʼs younger brother would be infatuated. Such a woman deserved to be admired.

But...

This woman seemed a bit off. Why was she chopping wood so late? Her face was pale, and she looked a bit haggard, as if something had taken a toll on her.

The palms of her hands were reddened, with marks on the tigerʼs mouth. There were even red marks on the axe handle.

The late night in the Voidless Empire was quite cold, yet her forehead still had beads of sweat, streaming down her cheeks and falling on the ground, kicking up traces of dust.

This woman was, of course, Yi Yi.

”Why does she look so... desolate?” Brittany curiously asked, and Ye Zizi felt the same.

Originally, they were quite disdainful of her. After all, she had done something wrong, and being punished by Your Majesty was normal.

However, seeing Yi Yi in such a state, it felt so pitiful. A girl like her, still chopping wood, with blood flowing from her palms...

Jue Tian whispered softly, ”Itʼs all because of Ye Juetian.”

”Why?” Curious, Ye Zizi asked.

”Because Ye Juetian is going to marry Gong Yue...” Jue Tian shook his head helplessly.

The news of Ye Juetian and Gong Yueʼs impending marriage had spread in the palace.

Yi Yi, who had just been released, was waiting for Ye Juetian to explain, but what she got was the shocking news.

Yi Yi really wanted to find Ye Juetian and ask why. Why didnʼt he ask her about such a big thing?

Every day, Yi Yi waited for Ye Juetian to explain, but he never came. She even heard that Ye Juetian and Gong Yue were inseparable, deeply in love. This made Yi Yi unbearable.

She constantly asked herself, ʼWhy?ʼ

Was it because of her humble birth? Did it make her deserving of everyoneʼs contempt, even the person she loved the most?

Her heart felt like dead ashes, and this was the state of Yi Yi.

Ye Zizi and Brittany, both being women, felt that Yi Yi before them was pitiable.

So, they didnʼt hide anything and revealed themselves.

Suddenly, Yi Yi saw two unfamiliar women before her. One was cute, and the other was tall and sexy, but she didnʼt recognize them.

But when she saw Jue Tian behind them, Yi Yi recognized him and immediately knelt down in salute.

”Get up,” Jue Tian said indifferently.

”Thank you, sir!” Yi Yi slowly stood up, bowing her head and standing silently on the side.

Brittany didnʼt like Yi Yiʼs attitude. It quite repulsed her.

”Why are you afraid of us?” Brittany asked in a deep voice.

Yi Yi kept her head down without saying a word.

”Why arenʼt you speaking?” Brittany asked again.

However, Yi Yi remained silent, keeping her head down.

Jue Tian tugged at Brittany, ”Stop asking. She rarely speaks.”

Indeed, Yi Yi hardly spoke now. No matter how others bullied her, she remained silent.

Just like when Ye Juetian first saw her on the street.

Brittany glanced at Yi Yi, then disappeared on the spot. Jue Tian followed suit.

Ye Zizi looked up at Yi Yi, took out a lollipop, and placed it in Yi Yiʼs hand. ”This is very sweet. Maybe it will improve your mood.” After saying that, she also disappeared.

Holding the lollipop in her hand, Yi Yi stood for a long time. Eventually, she gently unwrapped the outer packaging, looked at the pink ball, and extended her tongue to lick it. A sweet taste reverberated in her mouth.

Indeed, itʼs very delicious, and her mood has improved slightly.

Yi Yi licked the lollipop a few times, then put it away, saving it for when her mood was worse.

Picking up the nearby axe, Yi Yi arranged the wood, lifted the axe, and swung it down directly.

Itʼs unknown whether Yi Yi imagined the wood as Ye Juetian. Chopping it down like this must feel satisfying.

In the grand hall of the imperial palace, Ye Hua contemplated for a long time, then called out, ”Bai Gu!”

Hall fell silent for two seconds, and then a voice in the air, ”Your Majesty!”

”I want to give you a task, and it might be a bit difficult,” Ye Hua said in a deep voice, after careful consideration, deciding that it was better for Bai Gu to go out now, considering safety.

After all, the other side could make Wei Chang disappear, so they could also cause trouble for Ye Zizi and the others. For Ye Hua, that was someone he couldnʼt defeat!

”For Your Majesty, I will go through fire and water,” Bai Gu replied respectfully.

”You were originally under Kai Yun, but now the team is facing a crisis, and the others are inconvenient. I can only let you go out for a while.”

”Understood.”
