I became a fool who is married to a villain

Chapter 20

Ye Yuehui showed no reaction, In contrast, Li Luo couldn't help but frown after hearing the report from the immortal servant.

"Your Highness, are you really going to let the Second Princess continue this nonsense?" Li Luo asked, clearly troubled.

The Second Princess had kidnapped all the maids responsible for meals and beaten them if they disagreed, abusing her power, intimidating others into submission, and killing innocents indiscriminately.

Ye Yuehui remained unfazed and responded calmly, "Let them make trouble."

Li Luo didn't give up and said. "Your Highness, the Second Princess has captured all the kitchen maids responsible for preparing meals. If this continues, you won't even have dinner tonight."

Ye Yuehui put down what he was holding and asked the clerk, "How far have they progressed?"

The reporting immortal guard respectfully replied, "When I left, the Princess had already followed Qing Cheng's suggestion and was searching for the source of the poison."

"Not entirely foolish," Ye Yuehui remarked, narrowing his eyes as he stood up. "Let's go and take a look."

Li Luo, delighted, quickly followed Ye Yuehui, not forgetting to put Ye Yuehui's coat on him before they went out.

Meanwhile, Hua Zuiyue was facing difficulties. The source of the poison had been found. The suspects included fairy maids responsible for meals, fairy slaves who picked the ingredients, and the maids who made the tea.

When Ye Yuehui and Li Luo arrived, Hua Zuiyue was in the midst of interrogating a group of fairy maids who might have been involved in the poisoning, searching their belongings with great fanfare.

Ye Yuehui and Li Luo stood in the courtyard, observing the tied-up maids and slaves.

Ye Yuehui: "..."

Li Luo: "..."

"I wonder what Madam is doing?"

Ye Yuehui looked at the immortal maids and immortal slaves tied up all over the yard, and his eyelids twitched.

Hua Zuiyue, who had been seated, quickly looked up upon hearing the voice and saw Ye Yuehui and Li Luo entering the courtyard.

"Husband."

Seeing Ye Yuehui, Hua Zuiyue's eyes lit up, and she stood up with a grin to greet him. She seemed genuinely pleased by his arrival.

Ye Yuehui wore a warm smile as he glanced at the bound immortals scattered around the yard. "Madam, are you tying them up for fun?"

Hua Zuiyue: "..."

Hua Zuiyue blinked, momentarily silent. She hadn't realized Ye Yuehui had such a sense of humor. 

Feigning innocence to the sarcasm, she explained seriously, "Husband, I'm not playing with them. I'm looking for the murderer."

"Chu Jiu said the ones who poisoned the snacks and tea were clearly targeting you, husband. I must catch the poisoner and prevent them from harming you."

Ye Yuehui narrowed his eyes, still smiling. "So, you're trying so hard to catch the murderer all because of me?"

"It's not entirely because of you." Hua Zuiyue scratched her head in embarrassment, showing a silly smile. "I was in a lot of pain when I was poisoned. I'm very angry and want to catch those who did this and beat them up."
