at kind of a head maid would seduce her master She had never seduced him, it was the master who, after drinking too much, took advantage of her. 。The Second Madam, in an attempt to put on a facade, al...On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, invitations to the banquet had already begun to be issued in the palace. 。Countless palace maids and eunuchs streamed out from the Imperial Palace, bustling about the grand residences within Lin'an's inner city. The mansions of high-ranking officials, including that of a first-rank general, were among them. 。Sending out palace invitations is a very meticulous affair. What kind of people are sent to deliver the invitations and to which houses, all of this needs to be arranged before leaving the palace. 。Generally, this kind of thing is handled by the emperor's chief eunuchs, who also serve as the director of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. 。Although the new emperor ascended to the throne, the head of the Imperial Household Department remained unchanged. It used to be Wu Fu, and it is still Wu Fu now. 。Doing this kind of thing isn't particularly skilled, you don't really need to think about it, just wave your hand and everyone can be arranged. 。But this year, one had to use their brain because a Night Wenyan suddenly appeared, raising the status of the First Rank General's Mansion by several ranks. 。But at the same time, Ye Wen also has a grudge against the current head of the Ye family, so the existence of the First Rank General's Mansion is rather ambiguous. 。

Wu Fu thought about it and came up with a devious plan...

Madam Ye had been waiting for the palace to send out a notice since morning, and even changed into new clothes for this purpose.

Although the new dress is still plain, the lace at the cuffs makes it look less drab than before. 。In previous years, this was a particularly grand day for the General's Mansion of Rank One. With the prestige of the Old General and the Great General, the Chief Eunuch of the Inner Court would personally attend. 。Not only that, but she also brought along the Empress's chief maidservants, and even last year, Sixth Prince came in person! In short, they really put on a grand show of respect. 。But this year was different. Wu Fei, the grand secretary of the Imperial Household Department, followed the new emperor. The new emperor also owed a favor to Ye Wenyan. That night when the previous emperor died, Wu Fei stumbled after Yun Chen to the Ye residence and slapped him in the face. 。So the old woman figured, this year it's definitely impossible for Wu Fu to come and pay her respects. 。But it can't just be a eunuch sent to pacify the situation, so there's a high probability that Empress Li is behind this. 。Because of the incident with Yè Hongzhuang, the relationship between the Yè family and Empress Lǐ had deteriorated significantly. Even she was constantly worried that Empress Lǐ would blame the Yè family for the Sixth Prince's account. 。The old madam was very uneasy. She wanted to use this palace banquet to express her determination to the Empress Dowager Li and also to distance the Ye family from this affair. 。She had to make the Empress Dowager Li understand that Ye Wenyan was Ye Wenyan, and the Ye family was the Ye family. The Ye family and Ye Wenyan were not on the same side. 。The > hall was not only occupied by the old mistress, but also by Mu Shi with Ye Feiyu and Ye Lianmiao, as well as Liu Shi with Ye Chulian. > 。The night had stretched on, and Ye Lian remained by the old lady's side, diligently shelling walnuts for her grandmother. 。Unfortunately, the old lady didn't eat. She even advised her: "We will be receiving guests soon. Eating before meeting guests could get food stuck in your teeth, especially nuts like these. Even if you don't mind getting it on yourself, it would be considered rude to our guests." 。“Finished, she even glanced at Mrs. Mu, and snorted coldly, “One's own daughter, she wouldn't even teach this simple truth, I really don't know how this mother managed to raise her!”

Mrs. Mu sighed, “I'm not unwilling to teach, but there was simply no opportunity to teach” 。Because my daughter was only a few months old, she was taken by you, Old Madam. 。ubine"Intuition told Ye Jian that tonight, this great-niece was determined to cause trouble. He suddenly regretted coming; perhaps if he hadn't come, he could have avoided this disaster and not had to...
