Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1717: Chapter 1717: Vengeance Satisfied

The housekeeper Ye sighed. He said nothing; although he was just a servant, being a housekeeper, he still knew quite a lot.

This Second Young Master really has no brains. What was done in the past is done, but now their status and position are different.

The other person is no longer just a concubine-born son of the Marquis Mansion, now he is an official of the court. You are a commoner, and hoping to bully him as before is definitely not feasible.

Ye Liangkun looked at the two sitting there with hatred; although now he was only in casual clothes, it was still the attire only those with honors could wear.

With a bright smile directed at Ye Liangkun, Meng Po’s expression was full of joy, the kind of satisfaction of a victor looking down upon the defeated.

Ye Liangkun couldn’t stand it. Despite being tightly bound, he still charged towards them.

This caused a commotion, as the government officers rushed over trying to subdue Ye Liangkun. Qi Wen lifted her foot and kicked Ye Liangkun flying, knocking down several officers as well.

Meng Po stood up smiling, standing above the curled-up Ye Liangkun, "The evidence is conclusive, plotting to harm an official."

She then cupped her hands towards the few officers getting up, "Apologies, it was a mistake just now."

The officers also cupped their hands, "My lord is too courteous."

Disrespecting them as he did, Ye Liangkun was pulled up directly without any politeness.

No fool there; everyone could see these two would not let this one off, so what was there to be afraid of?

Lord Bai had just entered court when Ye Zongshen arrived.

However, he just arrived. In the court hall, he really dared not make any move.

Meng Po glanced at Ye Zongshen with a smile, looking at his ashen face; she felt particularly pleased.

How could Ye Liangkun plead guilty? Although he was the Second Young Master of the Marquis Mansion, he was still a commoner; he was about to be executed.

"Hold on, Lord Bai, are you resorting to extortion under duress?"

"Marquis Ye, you’re exaggerating too much. No extortion under duress, but the person showing contempt for the court should indeed be taught a lesson."

"Marquis Ye really has misunderstood." Duke Lu walked in with a smile and sat opposite Ye Zongshen.

Now Meng Po’s smile became even more genuine.

Qi Wen was a bit annoyed; it was getting dark soon, delaying dinner.

She stood up, "Lord Bai, I’m truly sorry, I’m feeling unwell, I shall leave first."

Meng Po smiled, "You go back, I’ll stay. How can I miss such a lively scene?

Look at all the lords present here; bear with it and stay, otherwise, what if someone wants my life when I’m leaving alone?"

Lord Bai promptly spoke up, "My lord, you jest. Such a thing happening under my jurisdiction is indeed my incompetence."

"Lord Bai, you’re taking it too seriously. There’s nothing like that; it’s possibly because our brothers attract resentment, but I trust the security of the Capital City very much."

"Haha, Lord Ye really knows how to speak," said Duke Lu with a laugh.

"I’m just being truthful," said Meng Po, pulling Qi Wen to sit down.

"If you’re unwell, just sit down. Perhaps I should ask?"

Lord Bai chuckled, "Lord Ye, you may ask."

Meng Po, with a smile, walked over to Ye Zongshen, as if it was he kneeling before her.

Ye Zongshen’s eyes turned red.

The more distressed he looked, the happier Meng Po felt. Her smile became even more joyful.

Seeing his gritting teeth, Meng Po laughed heartily, "Are you particularly indignant? Does kneeling to me feel like an injustice? Haha, this feeling is simply wonderful, Young Master. Once the high and mighty, now you must crawl at my feet. This feeling is refreshing."

"Wretched woman, don’t be complacent. The last to laugh will laugh best."

"Haha, that’s exactly what I wanted to say. Let’s see who laughs last.

Do you think you’re fearless now? Do you think you can sit back and relax?"

This time, it was Ye Liangkun’s turn to laugh heartily, "What can you do?"

"Do you think I’m powerless? Do you think I’d let that person who wants me dead walk free?

Do you believe I can make you confess personally?"

"Haha, go ahead and try. I’m waiting for you."

"Alright, Ye Zongshen, if I call you, would you dare to respond?"

"You call me a hundred times, and I’ll gladly respond."

"Beast."

Ye Zongshen struggled to get up to charge at Meng Po, and Qi Wen once again lifted her leg to knock him down.

"Haha, a prisoner is still being arrogant?"

Ye Zongshen became anxious. These two were humiliating the Second one, this was mutual destruction.

"Impudent."

Before Meng Po could say anything, Duke Lu spoke up, "Marquis Ye, this is not your Marquis Mansion."

Meng Po smiled at Ye Liangkun; by now, his eyes were a bit glazed, aware that it was the work of the Golden Immortal.

"Ye Liangkun."

"Present."

"Speak freely, say what’s on your mind, speak without fear."

Ye Liangkun laughed loudly, "Don’t think that just because you have official positions now you can do anything. If I can make the Eldest unable to be a man for life, if I can kill you once, I can certainly do so a second time."

"You really are incapable of doing anything to us."

"Haha. How did you dodge that gut-wrenching poison last time? That poison I got at a hefty price, I intended for all those in my way to taste it someday."

"You won’t have the chance, you’ll never have the chance to harm others again."

"Haha, do you think you’re safe? This time the four people failed, but I have more plans."

"Those four people you arranged were really lousy, too inferior."

"I underestimated you, but next time you surely won’t escape."

"Haha, you’re already a prisoner, what else is there to fear?"

"Busy yourself and wait and see."

Meng Po monitored the clerk while focusing on something else, watching him write rapidly, that was enough.

With a smile, she turned to leave, disregarding Ye Zongshen, who was still laughing heartily.

"Lord Bai, he has now confessed personally, with three witnesses, I think our brothers should head back, and also check out if what he arranged is as precarious as he claims."

"This way, my lords, please."

The two got up and bade farewell to Duke Lu, completely ignoring Ye Zongshen, whose face was livid.

Upon stepping out, the Zhang father and son waited by the side.

On the way back, they indeed encountered assassins once more, but this time several individuals with exceptional skills subdued them quickly.

"I wonder if we can keep this Young Master safe."

By the time they got home, dinner was already prepared. After freshening up, Zhang Sheng reported that Minister Wang had come to visit.

"Just inform Minister Wang that our brothers are suffering from poison attacks and cannot host him."

Zhang Sheng returned quickly, describing how Minister Wang left in anger.

"We shall see him in the court session tomorrow morning."

Minister Wang did not go home but went to the Ye Marquis Mansion instead.

Mrs. Wang at the scene was already at her wits’ end. Upon seeing her father arrive, she clung to him as if he were her lifeline.
