Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess

Confronted with such a situation, Ye Zhuchan's response was straightforward and decisive.

She directly sent Zhou Yiyi for the assassination.

To the sensible, another chance is given; to the senseless, a visit to King Yan.

Ye Zhuchan's concern and diligence stirred feelings of inferiority among the other women to varying degrees.

Especially Li Nanshuang.

Back then, upon learning that her father had secured the Empress title for her, the young girl was filled with joy.

But as time passed, she realized that Ye Zhuchan was far more suitable for this position.

One could even say that Ye Zhuchan was the most qualified, the most suitable person to become the Emperor.

Fortunately, Ye Zhuchan, with her delicate mind, keenly sensed Li Nanshuang's unease and conflict within. Thus, she made time for a heartfelt conversation, patiently guiding her.

Under Ye Zhuchan's attentive counseling, Li Nanshuang finally unraveled her heart's knot.

Everyone was actually very clear in their hearts, regardless of Ye Zhuchan's status and name among the women, she was undeniably the mistress of the harem.

The entire group, from the bottom of their hearts, acknowledged and silently accepted Ye Zhuchan's position as mistress of the harem.

——

In the tranquil and profound Imperial Study Room, candlelight flickered like beans.

Ye Zhuchan sat quietly behind the desk, focused on the letters she was writing.

The woman was dressed in a simple, elegant robe, its soft color like moonlight gracefully spilling over, untouched by worldly dust and smoke.

Suddenly, the candlelight flickered several times.

The flickering light illuminated the woman's profile, outlining a nearly flawless contour.

Ye Zhuchan's alabaster hand paused briefly, and she smiled gently:

"Almost forgot, the forty-nine days have passed. So, did you manage to keep that Demon Venerable here?"

The man sitting in the corner said nothing.

Ye Zhuchan softly bit her lip, helplessly gazing at the seemingly still sulking young man, and spoke in a gentle voice:

"It was wrong of Sister Ye to trick Brother Jiang back then, but now Sister Ye is wholeheartedly maintaining the harem's relationships for Brother Jiang, without accomplishments, there should still be some efforts recognized, right?"

The woman's face showed a bit of grievance, captivatingly.

Jiang Shouzhong remained silent.

Ye Zhuchan stood up, walked to Jiang Shouzhong, crouched down, lifted her face to gaze into the handsome man's face, and smiled: "Really planning to sulk with Sister Ye?"

The candle flickered, shadows danced across her face.

Her cool visage, in the interplay of light and shadow, carried even more mystery and an allure as stunning as the city's finest.

At this moment, Ye Zhuchan was like the most distant star in the night sky, accessible only from afar, inspiring awe and admiration.

Jiang Shouzhong wanted to reach out, yet dared not.

Even now, he still felt extremely unreal.

Afraid it was merely a dream, and waking up would bring him back to the hopeless Anhe Village.

Ye Zhuchan held the man's hand, placed it on her face:

"Brother Jiang, for you, I'm willing to do anything, anything, anything, even... die."

A teardrop slid from the woman's eye.

Jiang Shouzhong's lips moved, countless words he knew not how to voice.

At this moment, the woman smiled broadly, and unexpectedly began unfastening Jiang Shouzhong's belt: "Alright, it seems to get Brother Jiang not to be angry, Sister Ye has to give something in return."

Gazing at the woman's exquisite face, Jiang Shouzhong started breathing rapidly.

This was a scene he never dared to imagine.

Yet just at the crucial moment, a woman's voice suddenly erupted outside, furious and frantic:

"Jiang Shouzhong, you despicable and shameless bastard, come out for my presence! I agreed to assist you in dual cultivation, but I didn't agree for you to make my presence pregnant, get out!"

Ye Zhuchan was stunned, her expression odd.

Who would've thought, the first to be pregnant with Brother Jiang's child was actually the Demon Venerable.
