Chapter 988: 455: Ex-lover turns informer! Caught in a single sweep!

Ye Feidie hailed from a family with a lineage of military commanders and possessed a hereditary title of viscount.

However, since her grandfather’s generation, the Ye Family had already begun to decline. Her grandfather, holding the title of viscount, had only held the position of a deputy commander at the rank of centurion.

By her father’s generation, the situation had become even more disheartening, with him merely serving as a chiliarch in the frontier forces.

It wasn’t because others were oppressing him, rather her father, Viscount Ye Jin, truly lacked capability. His martial arts talent was at an all-time low; despite being in his thirties, he couldn’t even break through to the intermediate rank of a samurai. Moreover, his military talent was practically nonexistent.

However, stating that Viscount Ye Jin was completely incapable would be incorrect, as he was well-connected, having established good relationships with both the higher and lower ranks within the military, eventually becoming the quartermaster of the Northern Legion.

Speaking of talent within the three generations of the Ye Family, Ye Feidie was the one endowed with the highest ability.

From a young age, she exhibited exceptional talent in archery, although not as heaven-defying as Fen Mo, it was still quite remarkable.

After graduating from the Royal City Academy, partly because her archery skills were exceptional and partly because her father had extensive connections, opening up an opportunity through Marquis Jianyong, she remained at the Royal City Academy to become an assistant archery instructor; two years later she fully assumed the role of an archery instructor, being only twenty-three at the time.

It was at that time that she was seduced by Suo Lun, losing her virginity in a daze; that year, Suo Lun was merely eighteen years old.

Their affair was passionate, and they rented a house in the Royal City to live together.

Later, when her father, Viscount Ye Jin, learned of this, he was infuriated to the point of raging like thunder.

He was very strict with his daughter, denying any opportunity for external men to approach her. Because the Ye Family was already in decline, with such an exemplary daughter, Viscount Ye Jin placed all his hopes for the family’s resurgence on Ye Feidie, hoping she could marry into a distinguished family.

Although it was quite normal for a noblewoman to lose her chastity before marriage, and they could even restore their virginity through a magician, Viscount Ye Jin held higher standards for his daughter, as he aimed to cultivate a reputation of chastity, beauty, and strength for her.

At that time, Ye Feidie indeed had a good reputation amongst the noble daughters of the Royal City. Quite a number of high-ranking nobles had set their sights on her, planning to marry her into their families.

Of course, even though Suo Lun had a poor reputation at the time, he was still a lord and one of the foremost lords in the Rage Wave Kingdom.

Therefore, if Ye Feidie could marry into the Suo Family, that too would be quite decent.

But this bastard Suo Lun was a full five years younger than Ye Feidie, not to mention, this scoundrel had countless lovers, well into the double digits, even maintaining several relationships at once. To expect him to take responsibility for Ye Feidie and marry her? Don’t even dream of it.

Even Ye Feidie herself didn’t dare to harbor such desires; her love for Suo Lun was based only on the thought of not caring about forever, but cherishing what once was.

Hence, Viscount Ye Jin decisively and forcefully separated this pair of lovers, looking for a way to move Ye Feidie away from the Royal City Academy and away from Suo Lun, the troublemaker. As for his daughter being slept with over a hundred times by that bastard Suo Lun, he could only swallow his tears and keep it inside because one cannot simply kill that bastard, can they?

Thus, Ye Feidie was transferred to the City Defense Army, taking up a position as an officer at the rank of centurion.

When Suo Lun returned to the Royal City from the southern border towns, the city gates had already closed; it was Ye Feidie who helped him enter the city. At that time, driven by passion, she wanted to rekindle their former love, but Suo Lun didn’t show up for the reunion.

After spending a short time in the City Defense Army to enhance her reputation, Ye Feidie was transferred to the Northern Legion, serving as both the deputy chiliarch and a senior official in the Archer Camp.

It was at that juncture that Viscount Ye Jin found a marriage prospect for her.

Since she had been tainted by Suo Lun, maintaining her previous reputation of chastity became difficult, and courting high-ranking nobility for marriage was out of the question.

Therefore, Viscount Ye Jin began to shift his thinking and no longer focused on high-titled nobility.

In the kingdom, there were many with great authority but low noble titles, such as Prime Minister Yanwuji.

However, the prospect of marrying into the household of the Prime Minister was definitely out of reach for Viscount Ye Jin, a noble now in decline.

After much deliberation, Viscount Ye Jin set his sights on Yuwen Gai, Commander of the Imperial Guards.

Yuwen Gai held a high level of authority; in the military circles of the Rage Wave Kingdom, he wielded the sixth highest power, ranking just below the four Great Commanders and the Forbidden Army’s Commander Hei Ningqi.

But ironically, Yuwen Gai’s title was very low. His viscount title was bestowed by Zhi Li without the King’s Jade Seal.

Furthermore, arising from a background among the common elite and betraying King Zibian, he was severely isolated within the military circles; yet he remained a favored direct successor of Zhi Li, and was one of Zhi Li’s trusted confidants.

Viscount Ye Jin, although powerless and of no influence, was indeed an old noble within military circles with extensive connections.

As such, the two families quickly came to an agreement, and Ye Feidie married Yuwen Gai’s eldest son, Yuwen Fa.

At that time, Ye Feidie did not object to the marriage; after all, she was already twenty-five, considered an old maid, and it would have been more difficult not to marry at that point.

Furthermore, one couldn’t seriously expect that bastard Suo Lun to marry oneself, could they?

Back when she was fooling around with Suo Lun, she had never expected any future with him.

She felt that if a woman never experienced a wild romance with the man she loved, her life would be a great loss.
