"A household is ruled by the principal wife. Even if a concubine is favored, how many silver coins would the man be willing to spend on her" "That's exactly right." 。“The coffin shop owner also stepp...She originally thought that this time Night Wenyan's accident had nothing to do with her, and she couldn't blame herself. She just let Mu Shi and the second family quarrel for a while, and then it would be over. She accepted reality. 。But she never expected Mu Shi to be so resolute, nor did she ever expect Ji Nu to be able to take things this far. 。Witnessing her second son's family being imprisoned and Ye Hongzhuang being dragged to the outskirts for execution, she could no longer contain herself. 。
"Mu Qianqiu" 。Finally, the old madam spoke to Mu Shi, but what she said was unpleasant. 。“You killed my eldest son in your hands. If you kill my second son too, then you will be the sinner of our Ye family, and for eighteen generations of our ancestors will come to seek revenge on you! Even if I risk my life, I will make sure the Mu family pays!”
Mu shi nodded, “Alright” 。Since the old madam insists, I shall leave it at that. 。In the General's Mansion, I lost my husband. If my daughter is killed by you as well, then you will be my enemies. Even if I, Mu Qianqiu, reincarnate one hundred and eighty times, I will never stop fighting your Ye family until we are both dead!How do we proceed from here How do we throw this back at them 。The old lady was so choked that her qi and blood surged, her eyes darkened momentarily. 。
Ye Lianmian stepped forward and asked, "Grandmother, what's wrong Are you alright Grandmother, please don't get angry with me. I'm useless. Don't hurt your body because of me."
“It’s done, and she glared fiercely at Mu Shi again, saying — “Unfilial!”
Mu Shi was so angry that her liver hurt, but she heard Ye Lian Mian turn to Ye Chu Lian again: “What are you still doing there Your grandmother treats you so well, hiring a master to teach you, but you have no conscience at all A heartless person like you, even if you learn everything, what use is it What can the Ye family rely on you for”
These words were Ye Chu Lian’s, but they were also spoken for the old lady to hear.
The speaker had intentions, and the listener was even more so. 。Then the old madam also glanced at Ye Chu Lian, seeing that she was still clueless and didn't know how to comfort her. At that moment, half of her heart turned cold. 。Can this granddaughter really help the Ye family Jun Tao felt that the morning greetings should end. The old matriarch couldn't talk to Mu Shi anymore and needed to rest. 。So he took a step forward, intending to issue the order to dismiss the guests in his master's stead. 。Just at this moment, a maidservant ran in from outside and bowed to the old madam, saying: "Madam Jiang and Miss Jiang from Shangshu's Mansion have arrived. They are here to pay a visit." 。"Which ministry" The old madam didn't react immediately. "Which Ministry of..." The maid repeated, "The Ministry of Punishment." 。The old madam listened and frowned. 。The Jiang family, who served as Minister of Justice, were close friends with the eldest branch. What were they doing at this time But since they had already arrived, it was not good to turn them away, so she nodded and said, “Please come to the Hall of Narratives!” Then she got up 。"Ye Lianmian held her back, "Grandmother, there's no need to go. The mistress of the Jiang family must be here to visit Mistress, and Grandmother has no relationship with them, so there is no need to meet them." 。The old lady glared at her, “Ignorant " 。Then she let out a cold snort and, supported by Jun Tao, went towards Xuming Hall. 。Ye Lianmian didn't know which word she had said wrong, and was stunned for a moment. 。Mu Shi took Ye Qingmei out with her, and only Liu Shi and Ye Chu Lian were left in the room. 。"Auntie, let's go back. No matter who Madam Jiang and Miss Jiang are visiting, it has nothing to do with us." 。"Ye Chu leaned back and helped Liu shi up. She then glanced at Ye Lianmian, who stood frozen in place. After a moment of thought, she said, 'Even though the Jiang family is close to the Madam from Da's side, they are still the Minister of Punishment’s residence, their status isn't inferior to that of a First Rank General's residence.'" 。Even if it's just a visit from the wife of the Minister of Punishment, the grandmother still needs to put on a show and meet her. 。Besides, this summons is addressed to the Fu Lu courtyard. If Grandmother doesn't go, she will surely be criticized later on. 。" Ye Chu Lian left, Ye Lian Mian was stunned for half a moment before she reacted: “Is she teaching me a lesson” She asked the maidservant beside her, Yu Qiao, "Is Fifth Miss teaching me a lesson" Yu Qiao quickly said, “It sounds like she is teaching Second Sister you! Fifth Miss is now a favourite of the Old Madam, and her courage has grown bigger than before. Before, she wouldn't dare to speak to you like this!” 。“ She ground her teeth with anger. Who in this house thought they could walk all over her In the Nuxing Hall, the old madam sat upright chatting with Madam Jiang. Her dark and thin face was plastered with a smile, but it was obviously fake. 。Mrs. Jiang's smile was indeed much more sincere. At this moment, she looked at the old lady with concern and asked, "What happened to your hair It looks like it was burned." 。It shouldn't be like this, the old madam doesn't even cook herself, how could she possibly burn her hair 。"Could it be that he was struck by lightning" Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but laugh at this point. "If he really was struck by lightning, then he must have done something that made the Master extremely displeased to anger him like this." 。" Mother, please don't laugh. 。"Jiang Wanting reminded, "The Ye residence is still in mourning. We should all control our emotions a bit." 。"Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I was so preoccupied with thinking about Old Madam Ye's hair that I didn't pay attention to the mourning in the house. I'm truly sorry." 。She got up and bowed to apologize, then before the old madam could say anything else, she sat back down. 。The old lady was furious. She glared at Mu, who was sitting beside her, looking like a wronged soul with a deeply sorrowful expression. She didn't say a word, just listened as she chatted with Madam Jiang. 。But what could she possibly have to talk about with Madam Jiang It was just a courtesy visit, and then you should go to whichever courtyard to chat. Why did she act as if she was the main character However, Mu Shi refused to budge. She just sat there, her eyes staring at something unknown. 。Jiang Wanting looked at the elderly lady and sighed, "Oh, I really miss when Ye Uncle was around. The General's Mansion back then was much livelier and more festive than it is now." 。Even though General Ye is away fighting wars, the General's Mansion shouldn't be this lifeless. 。“What a pity,” Mrs. Jiang sighed as well, “Such a good person is gone.” 。"Madam Ye, isn't this a pity Brother Jinggui is in his prime, he hasn't reached the end of his life yet, how come...how come..." The old madam frowned. "He's gone, that's all there is to it. Why keep bringing him up"Jiang Wanting continued, "Well, if we don't talk about Uncle Ye, then let's talk about Grandfather Ye! He hasn't reached the end of his life either!"The old madam felt a tightness in her chest and quickly called out to Mu Shi: "Old Madam, you two are acquainted, so keep Miss Jiang company. This old woman is tired and needs to go back and rest." 。“ Mu glanced at her, “Old Madam, take care.” 。But no one moved, not even bothering with the most basic courtesy. 。Not until the old lady had walked away and there were no outsiders left in Xinyu Hall did Madam Jiang stand up and walk to Mu's side, lowering her voice and asking her: "Sister Mu, hasn't Yan'er come back yet"Mu shook her head. "No." 。"Then your second house didn't explain anything at all" Mu shi still shook her head, "No" 。"
'Damn it...' Mrs. Jiang blurted out a curse word, then glanced at Mu's current state. She didn't seem to be as worried about losing her daughter as she should be. In her heart, she had a vague idea..." 。“As for Yan’er’s affairs, I presume you have your own ideas and I won’t pry further.” 。Sister Mu, I only ask you, how are those in your second household doing If you continue to let them act as if nothing happened and remain in the mansion, then don't blame me for looking down on you. 。Or you can't bear to face them and tear up your relationship, then I will do it for you. 。We're going to vent our anger! Don't worry, I won't fight Old Night, I'll just fight his wife. 。"
Jiang Wanting was also eager to try, "Then I'll beat his children!"
Ji Mama listened with delight on the side, "The two of you, our mistress is not someone who endures hardship without complaining>>> 。The night Si Jie got into trouble, the Madam took action. The second Master and his family have been locked in the study ever since, not given food or drink, until Si Jie returns. 。If they starve to death during this time, that's their fate. 。"That's right," Madam Jiang said with a nod. "Sister Mu, you need to have such courage. That's how the eldest daughter of the Mu family should be!" As she spoke, her gaze shifted to Nanny Ji and she gave her a long look before silently nodding. She didn't ask any further questions. 。The arrival of the Jiang family members reminded Lady Ye of something. With two major funerals in the Ye family back to back, perhaps people were so caught up in their grief at first that they didn't think too much about it. 。Once the grief subsided, wouldn't some things you hadn't bothered to think about before suddenly come to mind Today I am a member of the Jiang family, but tomorrow I might belong to another.
The old master and his eldest son have so many old associates, if each one came to ask about it, even if there was nothing suspicious, they would make it seem suspicious. What's more, she already felt guilty…
This morning at court, because General Ye Er wasn't present, someone brought up the incident of the Fourth Sister leaving the city to burn incense and disappearing from the Ye family… 。< >Quan Qingcheng listened to the courtiers below discussing in a flurry, and from time to time someone would say that even if a missing girl was found, it would be absolutely unacceptable. < > 。He listened with a troubled heart and couldn't help but ask, "If they are lost and found again, how can it be so terrible Doesn't your family throw away their children directly if they are lost What's the difference between that and murder" The courtier below glanced at him, seeming to be very displeased with the emperor's words. He immediately said loudly, "Even if you don't throw her away, who would want a woman like that Who knows what might happen to her when she is lost outside A woman's most important thing in life is her reputation. If her reputation is ruined, then living and not living are the same. Living is even more of a burden on her family." 。When Quan Qingcheng heard about Ye Wenyan's incident, he was anxious, but he didn't know what to say. 。If he had given too little, it wouldn't have been forceful enough. If he gave too much, wouldn't that confirm the rumors about Ye Wenyan being discarded outside the city Although he didn't really care much about his reputation, this kind of thing wasn't exactly flattering. What if Sister Wenyan cared
Seeing him remain silent, the official felt very satisfied and quite proud
Just then, a voice rang out from His Highness Cheng Guang, "Sister Ye Si merely accepted this King's invitation for a cup of tea. How did she end up being rumored to have been abandoned outside the city"couldn't help with. 。"Ye Wenyan! Why can you also divide tea When did you learn it" Ye Lianmian was really having a hard time accepting this reality. She had clearly set Ye Wenyan a challenge, so how...
