Rebirth Of The Villainess: Young Master Lu's Wicked Wife

'This couldn't possibly be happening to me!'

Ye Mingyu was shocked to hear the verdict of the jury. Although her lawyers had told her of this possibility, she thought that the worse outcome for her would be lifetime confinement. She thought that as long as she could live, there's still a chance for her to start anew once she left this horrendous place.

She regretted not being able to be reborn in this life much earlier, before the time she and Su Xiaofei's path crossed. However, it was too late for her to change anything. The verdict was like a fiery slap on her face, making her realize the gravity of her actions.

It wasn't like she was the 'Ye Mingyu' who killed Cai Lin, it was actually the one originally from this lifetime. She never thought that the person who would put her into this situation wasn't her nemesis, Su Xiaofei, but Feng Xue'er, who she had relied on a lot in the past.

Ye Mingyu thought that she only needed to be wary of Lu Qingfeng. She was able to bully Su Xiaofei and humiliate her, but she had Lu Qingfeng backing her. In her previous life, this tyrant had ruined their lives after Su Xiaofei's death and she wasn't spared from his rampage.

She couldn't even bare to look at Lu Qingfeng without remembering the torture he subjected her to that eventually led to her death. But now… how did it end up like this? Ye Mingyu couldn't believe that she had lost to a small fry like Feng Xue'er.

When she married Han Yize, breaking several of her contracts for endorsements and projects that Top Tier Entertainment had given her, she was blacklisted by the Ouyang family and they weren't willing to take her back when they divorced. She paid a large sum of money as a penalty to avoid being sued.

Realizing that she was trapped in a dead end, a sense of panic slowly overcame her. Ye Mingyu tried to find Su Xiaofei in the crowd, but she couldn't see her or Lu Qingfeng anywhere. She was sure that they were just seated there a moment ago.

Even when the police escorted her out of the courtroom, her eyes filled with tears were still looking for Su Xiaofei. She resisted their hold until a few officers came over and cuffed her hands behind her back, before dragging her away.

'Su Xiaofei, where are you?'

'Su Xiaofei, you can't turn your back on me like this! You are nothing without me!'

She couldn't think of anyone who can help her right now.

Mo Yuchen? That man had long disappeared from her life, even before she was reborn in this life.

Han Yize? No matter how she tried to contact him, he didn't offer her any help. Instead, she received a threat from him through his assistant.

She had no family or friends and she simply had nowhere to turn to.

"If you dare to speak recklessly about me, I will kill you and make sure that no one will be able to find you or your dead body."

The police were indeed trying to extract information from her about Han Yize, because they knew he was involved in some illegal activities and crimes, but lacked enough evidence to lock him up. They were hoping that as Han Yize's ex-wife, they would be able to garner some useful information from her.

But what they didn't know was that Han Yize was a paranoid person and after being with him, Ye Mingyu realized that she barely knew anything about him and anything else he did aside from managing his pharmaceutical company.

If it was not for the cold poison, she wouldn't even get involved with this man! However, Han Yize had something she didn't have and had been craving for a long time - power and control. She thought that by having him by her side, she wouldn't have to face bitterness in life any longer. It was just a pity that she caught feelings for him, but Han Yize's heart was still with another woman.

Ye Mingyu cursed the original Ye Mingyu in this lifetime for being so stupid. She shouldn't have let her relationship with Feng Xue'er turned sour. In the past, she was able to move up the ladders courtesy of her, but now, Feng Xue'er was the one putting the nail in her coffin.

She didn't know how long she'd been sitting on the cold floor of her detention cell when the food ration was delivered to her. Ye Mingyu eyed the food for a moment, wondering when she would have her last meal. Nevertheless, she ate it without a complaint and drank the water till its last drop before moving to the bed to lie down.

It didn't take long before she felt a burning sensation spreading too quickly in her body. She screamed for help, curling on the floor as she gasped in pain, but no one came to her aid. Ye Mingyu didn't understand what was happening to her, until a familiar person stood outside her cell and looked at her with a cold pair of eyes.

"Y-you…"

She recognized him as one of Han Yize's subordinate who mostly did the dirty work for him, so Ye Mingyu was frightened upon seeing him. She was so terrified that her entire body began to tremble, especially when the man met her gaze. He was dressed as a police officer.

"You're part of the police force?" She asked in disbelief.

"Why do you think they couldn't capture him?" The man chuckled amusedly. "Master is making sure you won't mess with his life until you take your last breath. Don't worry, we gave you a high dose of cold poison. It shouldn't take too long. This will give you a quick death, Ye Mingyu."

It was only then that it dawned to her what just happened. Han Yize, her ex-husband, had poisoned her. That man really intended to shut her mouth till she was six feet under!
