Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

Chapter 147 Life hangs by a thread

At breakfast, Su ignored the light dishes on the table and had a special liking for those cakes. Ye Yunzi found it strange, as she had never seen her mother particularly fond of anything, but she had a special liking for these cakes.

"Mom, a doctor is coming to check your pulse today."

"Diagnose pulse?"

"Mom is always weak and often suffers from cold and cough. There must be something wrong. Asking a doctor to take her pulse will also put our minds at ease." Ye Yunzi said lightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes.

"Yes." Nanny Zhao nodded in agreement. Although the lady's spirits have improved recently, her body is still weak. It would be wise to ask a doctor to take her pulse.

Su nodded without objection, "Okay."

……

Ye Yunzi didn't plan to go out today and planned to stay in the wooden house waiting for Dr. Tao.

Unexpectedly, Ye Qianyao actually came to my house on her own initiative and called me "big sister" affectionately. People who didn't know the inside story would think that they were very affectionate sisters.

"Sister, you finally get out. It's so boring to stay in the house all day."

Ye Qianyao stepped forward, took Ye Yunzi's arm, and said, "Today, several young ladies are gathering together to hold a horseback archery competition. Miss Su Yu from the Marquis's Mansion will also be there. I heard that the Thirteenth Princess will also be there!"

"If I can win the favor of the princess, I won't have to worry about anything in the future." Ye Qianyao said with a smile, and there was no trace of scheming in her eyes.

Ye Yunzi remained silent. She didn't believe that Ye Qianyao's sudden visit would lead to any good thing. She must be planning something secretly.

"I have to accompany my mother for a walk nearby today, so I'm afraid I can't participate in the horseback archery competition." She politely declined.

"Really? That's such a shame."

Ye Qianyao let go of her hand and left without entanglement. This kind of Ye Qianyao made people feel unfamiliar, and Ye Yunzi's suspicion became deeper and deeper.

Could it be that she really came to invite me to participate in the horseback archery competition? Impossible!

She shook her head and put the thought out of her mind.

An hour later.

Ye Yunzi walked out of the wooden house and looked up at the blue sky. The sky was clear and the sun was so bright that it made people squint their eyes. There was silence all around, and she suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Yu Shu for a long time.

She stopped a servant and asked where Yu Shu had gone.

The servant replied in confusion: "Miss, Yu Shu just went to the hunting grounds and said she wanted to see you."

Ye Yunzi's heart tightened. Go to the hunting ground to find her? What was going on?

"By the way, I saw Yu Shu went with the third young lady." The servant added, and Ye Yunzi's face suddenly changed, with anger flashing in her eyes.

"Ye Qianyao..."

No wonder Ye Qianyao gave up so easily in the morning. It turned out that she had other plans secretly, forcing her to go to the hunting ground!

Ye Yunzi turned around abruptly and walked quickly towards the hunting ground.

Yu Shu is her personal maid, and she will never allow anyone around her to come to any harm!

"Miss?" The servant saw Ye Yunzi's face was full of frost. This was the first time he saw her so angry, and his heart was full of doubts.

……

In the hunting ground, Ye Qianyao had a sneer on his face and was waving the folding fan in his hand with a smug look on his face.

Not far away, Yu Shu was surrounded by a group of maids and guarded by guards, making it impossible for them to escape.

"Will she really come?" Su Yu asked.

Ye Qianyao looked at Yu Shu in the distance, a smug smile on her lips, "Her maid is here, how could she not come."

"Hmph, as soon as she shows up, we'll humiliate her." Su Yu snorted coldly and turned his gaze to the woman surrounded by the crowd.

The woman was dressed in hunting clothes, looking heroic, with a fair and charming face, revealing cleverness and cunning. She was the Thirteenth Princess Baili Yue, also born to Concubine Wu, and the younger sister of the Fourth Prince.

Baili Yue had a blank expression on her face, her chin slightly raised, revealing a sense of arrogance and willfulness.

These ladies, like the maids, only knew how to fawn over her and please her. Their constant smiling faces only made her feel bored and brought no pleasure at all.

"I heard there's an archery competition today?" This competition was the only thing that interested her.

"That's right, Princess." Su Yu took a step closer with a smile on her face.

"How do we compare?" Princess Thirteen asked curiously.

She had an inexplicable love for riding and shooting, but unfortunately the palace had strict rules and the nanny who was in charge of teaching her was very strict and did not allow her to touch these dangerous things. She could only indulge herself when she had the opportunity to go out.

Su Yu's eyes flashed with a cold smile and said, "Princess, you have seen many archery competitions. Let's do something different today."

As she spoke, she pointed at the maids who were surrounded in the middle and said, "Put some fruits on the heads of these maids and let the ladies shoot arrows. The one who hits the fruits wins." Her tone was cold, completely ignoring what would happen if the arrow missed.

Baili Yue's eyes lit up after hearing this. This idea was quite novel and much more exciting than the usual entertainment.

She agreed excitedly, "Sounds great, let's do it!"

"Take them all to the pillars and tie them up!" Su Yu ordered.

The guards came forward, dragged the maids to the pillars one by one, and tied them to them by force, including Yu Shu. She looked around with a confused look on her face, and finally saw Ye Qianyao.

The third lady said that the young lady was waiting for her at the hunting ground, so she hurried here. She didn't expect that it was all a scam, the young lady was not here at all, and she was about to become someone else's target.

“No, don’t…” Yu Shu’s face turned pale and her whole body trembled. “Third Miss! Third Miss!”

They were tied to pillars by the guards and apples were placed on their heads.

Swords are merciless, not to mention arrows shot from a distance, which can kill people if you are not careful. The maids were pale, trembling, and some of them couldn't help crying softly.

In the distance, Su Yu said coldly: "Stand still, if the apples on your heads fall off, your heads will roll with them."

"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly! After the game, each of you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver."

Everyone had different expressions. Some young ladies felt sorry to see their maids being tied up, but no one dared to speak out. The Thirteenth Princess was in high spirits. If she was spoiled, the consequences would be disastrous. The princess couldn't afford to offend her.

"Game start!"

Everyone took out their bows and arrows, and Baili Yue asked the maid to bring her bow and arrow.

The man tied to the pillar was trembling, and facing the cold arrows, he could only close his eyes and pray silently.

Whoosh...arrows are flying.

Yu Shu's whole body was trembling, her back was sweaty, and her eyes were full of despair.

Miss, Yu Shu can no longer serve you. If there is an afterlife, I will still be your maid. She bit her lower lip and closed her eyes.

The cold wind was whistling, and the arrow grazed the ends of her hair and penetrated deeply into the wooden stake, making a buzzing sound.

……

When Ye Yunzi arrived, she saw the arrow almost grazed Yu Shu's head, and her life was almost in danger.

"Yu Shu!" Ye Yunzi's face was solemn and she ran over quickly.

"Miss..." Yu Shu seemed to hear a familiar voice vaguely. She opened her eyes and saw Ye Yunzi walking towards her with an anxious look on her face.
