Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 747 - 736: Substitute Younger Sister

"Ye Xia, if you wish for me to marry in your stead, then admit outright that you don’t want to marry Prince Li; don’t speak to me with the tone of offering charity." Ye Qiu said with biting irony.

Ye Xia’s face turned pale, unable to utter a word, because ever since she became sensible, she has treated Ye Qiu with a generous and loving attitude. Now, isn’t admitting this the same as admitting that her demeanor over the past decade has been hypocritical? Isn’t this directly acknowledging that she is a despicable and shameless villain?

Ye Xia remained silent, so did Ye Qiu, and the faces of Ye Borong and Ye Wangshi were also unsightly.

"Qiu’er, Doctor Liu said you don’t have many days left anyway, why can’t you just make your sister happy?" Ye Wangshi said, unable to bear it.

"So I deserve to accept a marriage that my sister doesn’t want? It was the same before; the clothes and jewelry that my sister didn’t like were given to me, and it was said that I was the most favored. Father and mother, now your daughter wants to ask you like my sister did before, can you stop being biased? This is about my life, you know once I go to the Northwest, it is very likely that I won’t even survive the journey there, be it a month, a year, or two years. My life may not be important to you, but it’s different to me." Ye Qiu said softly, her tone might sound flat, but every word was heart-wrenching.

She continued, snickering coldly, "My sister wants to send me to my death, and she won’t even utter a single honest word, why aren’t you advising her instead of persuading me?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"I..." Ye Wangshi was at a loss for words, exchanging looks with Ye Borong.

Ye Borong looked at Ye Qiu guiltily, then turned to Ye Xia and said, "Xiaxia, do you really want to marry into the Northwest? Won’t you apologize to your sister?"

Hearing what Ye Borong said, Ye Qiu’s still eyes remained undisturbed, thinking to herself, no matter what she says, her dear parents would never let Ye Xia marry into the Northwest.

Ye Xia turned to look at Ye Qiu, her eyes flashing with resentment and embarrassment, lips tightly pressed together as if thinking of something, she clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly and said, "I’m sorry, younger sister, I was too selfish before, I never considered your feelings."

"And then?" Ye Qiu asked with a faint smile, as if watching a clown.

"I... I can’t bear to leave the wealth and glory of the capital, so can we swap identities?" Ye Xia said, enduring the humiliation.

"What if I say no?" Ye Qiu sipped her tea lightly.

Ye Xia’s face flushed with anger, and she glared furiously at her: "Are you playing me?"

"Since my sister wants me to suffer in your stead, you should at least show some sincerity!" Ye Qiu tilted her head and said.

Ye Xia roared lowly, "What sincerity do you want?"

"How about all of your jewelry and ten thousand taels of silver notes?"

"You’re robbing me!" Ye Xia, shocked and furious upon hearing Ye Qiu’s demand, said, "If I give it all to you, what about me? Where would I get ten thousand taels?"

"A little material wealth in exchange for a life, doesn’t sister think it’s worthwhile? As for the silver notes, if it’s not enough, sister can always ask our parents, after all, they love you the most." Ye Qiu said nonchalantly.

Ye Borong’s face looked displeased: "Why do you want so much money? Doctor Liu said..."

"Doctor Liu said I won’t live much longer so I don’t need that much money, right? But father, who doesn’t want to keep living? With money, I can seek a Divine Doctor, can’t I? Or does Father, like my sister, also wish to see his daughter dead?" Ye Qiu retorted.

Ye Wangshi tried to persuade again, "Qiu’er, we really don’t have that many silver notes at home, how about less, would twenty thousand be alright?"

"Mother can really drive a hard bargain!" Ye Qiu’s eyes were downcast, her tone indifferent. "Parents spent twenty thousand taels of silver for my sister’s selection process. Is a daughter’s life not worth a selection? If it weren’t for my sister’s whimsical ideas back then, none of this would be happening. Although I rarely leave the courtyard, it doesn’t mean I don’t understand. Mother, the dowry you prepared for my sister is definitely more than ten thousand taels of silver, right? Now my sister won’t be able to marry anyone soon, so why can it be for her but not for your daughter?"

"How have you become so clever with words now? I must have been blind all these years," Ye Borong said in a deep voice.

Ye Qiu chuckled lightly: "If my parents and sister hadn’t come to make me substitute in the marriage and hadn’t intended for me to go to my death today, I would have continued to play the role of an obedient and filial daughter."

"You..."

"Don’t get angry," Ye Qiu poured a cup of tea for both Ye Borong and Ye Wangshi, "Getting angry doesn’t solve problems, it only harms your health. It’s just a bit of money; with father’s capabilities, won’t it be earned back very quickly? It’s not worth getting so worked up over."

After this statement, there was another bout of silence. Ye Borong and Ye Wangshi did not drink the tea poured by Ye Qiu; their faces openly displayed their resentment.

"It’s getting late, have father and mother, and sister thought it through?" Ye Qiu reminded after a while.

Ye Xia raised her head, took a deep look at Ye Qiu, then turned pleadingly to Ye Borong and Ye Wangshi, "Father, Mother, consider this amount of silver as something I currently owe you. I’ll definitely repay it double in the future."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu clapped her hands smiling, confronting their unfriendly gazes, she continued smiling, "Sister really has integrity. Since it’s so, why are our parents still hesitating?"

Finally, Ye Borong spoke, his tone ambiguous, "Qiu’er, I hope you won’t regret this in the future."

"If I can’t find the Divine Doctor, I don’t have much time left, what is there to regret?"

"I agree to your conditions, I hope you can also keep this secret."

"Daughter would naturally not take the initiative to speak," But if someone else speaks or asks about it, she wouldn’t be blamed.

"Oh, by the way," as the three of them were preparing to leave Luoxia Courtyard, Ye Qiu added, "I hope father and mother and sister can deliver the jewelry and one hundred thousand taels of silver beforehand. This is our private transaction, not a dowry. Please prepare the actual dowry separately, mother, as to how much, it’s up to you."

As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking, a young, surreptitious figure swiftly left from the window side. Ye Qiu slyly smiled.

The three left with bitterness and reluctance, but Ye Qiu was in high spirits.

Indeed, in the face of their most beloved daughter, in the face of their coveted interests, their feigned kindness towards her was so fragile.

But it’s still not enough! She would always remember how these three including Prince Li cornered her in her previous life.

She will take her time and not spare a single one.

On February 14th, Ye Qiu replaced Ye Xia under the red bridal veil, about to marry Prince Li under the name of Ye Xia, becoming the counterfeit Princess Li.

However, on this joyous day, the entire Ye Residence seemed lifeless, hosting barely any guests. Ye Borong and Ye Wangshi greeted Prince Li with stiff smiles.
