Chapter 2 Reborn Next to the Naked Man
"call!"
Ye Qiongying gasped and sat up suddenly.
But he found himself lying on a bed.
Her first reaction was that she was rescued, but she soon discovered that the wounds on her limbs had disappeared. Not only that, her body, which had been tortured and shriveled, seemed to have become plump again and returned to its normal appearance.
And next to her... there was another naked man lying?
The other person was naked, with his head and face covered, revealing his smooth arms, which were the source of the warmth she had touched when she was unconscious.
Ye Qiongying was stunned for a moment, and soon this familiar scene brought back memories.
Isn't this the place where she was falsely accused of having an affair? The person next to her must be the adulterer who was accused at the time!
But this man's identity seemed to be somewhat special. He was taken away by a group of people on the day of the incident, and seemed to be sick. Leng Qianqian's group wanted to stop him but failed. Afterwards, no one dared to mention the existence of the "adulterer" in this accident.
Ye Qiongying had no interest in him and just wanted to get away as quickly as possible.
She didn't know why she returned to this moment. Was it because she was unwilling to die and dreamed of this day, or was it because God really blessed her and gave her another chance?
In short, it is obviously not a good idea to stay here.
Ye Qiongying quickly stood up, put on her clothes, and was about to leave.
The hem of her skirt brushed against the hand that was stretched out from the bed, but Ye Qiongying didn't care.
She knew that there would definitely be someone guarding the door. Since she couldn't go through the front door, she would have to leave through the window.
Fortunately, Ye Qiongying had been practicing martial arts since she was a child. Now that she no longer had the chains that restrained her body, it was not difficult for her to just climb through the window.
Soon there was only one other person left in the room, still lying in bed.
But Ye Qiongying's actions obviously also disturbed the person on the bed.
He moved his fingers and grabbed a purse that had just been accidentally hung on his hand.
Her thick eyelashes fluttered a few times and she finally opened her eyes.
The man looked around and frowned, with the slightly reddened corners of his eyes brewing with a bit of murderous intent like a ferocious beast.
He did not get angry immediately, but just looked at the purse in his hand and could not help but sniff it. The next moment, his originally frowned brows slowly relaxed.
His eyes darkened, he stood up, and exposed his body without any hesitation. His skin was so white that it was even more beautiful than that of a woman. His seemingly thin body showed some hidden muscle lines when he moved.
He was clearly just a teenager of seventeen or eighteen years old, but his silent movements gave people a terrifying sense of power, like a lion waiting for an opportunity, clamoring to quell his anger with blood.
He put on his clothes gracefully, then found something from the pile of clothes, put it to his mouth and blew gently.
Although no sound could be heard, not long after, the back window was opened and a group of men who looked like guards entered the room in panic and took the young man away respectfully. The remaining few people quickly tidied up the room before leaving.
The room where a man and a woman were lying before is now empty, as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, the tightly closed door was suddenly kicked open with a "bang"!
A crowd of people swarmed over.
"How dare you! How dare you, adulterer and adulteress, do such a thing in the residence of the Minister of Rites!"
A voice sounded sharply.
Then, a timid female voice sounded:
"Oh no, why is my sister missing? Could it be..."
"What? The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery actually..."
A chaotic sound echoed in the quiet room.
After a few seconds, someone finally came to his senses, looked around, and asked in confusion:
"Here... there's no one here? Who said that they heard someone in this room... in this room..."
That's right.
The room was tidy and clean, and it didn't look like anyone else was there.
There was no figure on the bed opposite.
Even the air was very fresh, and it didn't look like a place for a so-called affair between a man and a woman.
"Could it be..." the timid female voice just now appeared again, "I remember that my sister is a martial artist. Could she be hiding under the bed, in the closet, or on the beam... Could you ladies please take shelter first and let me call my sister out?"
The woman was wearing a white dress and had a pretty face but her eyes were watery, making her look very pitiful.
The ladies present did not like her that much.
There's no other reason. This look and this style really make her look like the kind of little bitch that the men in the mansion like. In short, she is not as dignified and graceful as a wife should be.
"Impossible!" The wife of the Minister of Rites rejected the proposal without hesitation. "You dare to mess around in my house. Even if you are the wife of a marquis, you cannot be forgiven! Are you worthy of us giving way to you?"
"That's right. No matter who you are, you shouldn't do such a thing in the Shangshu Mansion. It's simply... simply shameless. I wonder how the Loyal and Brave Marquis would react if he knew about it!"
"This... seeing as we haven't found anyone in the house yet, it's not a good idea to jump to conclusions, right?"
"But didn't the woman in the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion say she was the Marquis's wife..."
"Me?" A voice suddenly appeared and interrupted her. "What's wrong with me?"
When everyone looked back, they saw a figure wearing a red top with dark patterns and a long moon-colored skirt swaying slowly approaching them.
Ye Qiongying walked closer calmly. She had a single spiral bun on her head with a golden hairpin inserted diagonally next to it. A teardrop-shaped pendant was dangling gently on the side. She was neat and clean, and looked completely normal.
Judging from the direction she came from, it had nothing to do with this room.
However, the woman in the white dress who had spoken earlier was dumbfounded when she saw Ye Qiongying, as if she had seen a ghost:
"Sister, sister, why are you..."
Ye Qiongying raised her eyebrows:
"Sister? My Ye family doesn't have a daughter like you whose identity is unknown."
The woman in white choked and said aggrievedly: "But the Marquis..."
"No matter what the Marquis said, you haven't even entered the house yet, and you're not even a bed-warming maid. How can you call me sister?"
Ye Qiongying said in a sonorous and powerful voice,
"My Ye family has been a family of nobles for generations. Our ancestors came from Yongyu. We have had three generations of prime ministers and five generals. Even though we are now in decline, you cannot bully us. I am of the bloodline of the Ye family and the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, who was personally conferred by the royal family. What about you? Leng Qianqian, who are you to be worthy of calling me sister?"
Although she said this arrogantly, no one present thought it was excessive. They all nodded in agreement, and looked at the woman with strange eyes.
I thought she was someone from the Marquis' Mansion. She followed the Marquis's wife to today's banquet and called her sister all the time. But it turns out that she is just a mistress without even a formal status?
No wonder she acted like a vixen.
The loyal and brave Marquis is too ignorant of the rules! He has no vision.
With such a plain appearance, how could she be as graceful and elegant as the wife of a marquis!
Leng Qianqian's expression changed, she bit her lips, she was filled with hatred, but a few tears came out of her eyes, she looked at Ye Qiongying:
"Sister... Madam, I know you don't like me, but... I'm just a weak woman, and I don't want to come between you and the Marquis. But..."
"okay!"
Upon hearing these familiar words, Ye Qiongying almost vomited. She frowned in disgust and looked at the wife of the Minister of Rites instead of looking at her.
"I wonder what happened at your house? Why did it sound like it was related to me?"
