i immediately frowned upon hearing this, pushing Yun Chen away. "Which eye saw that my arms and legs are old I'm a martial artist! Can you mere mortals look at me, a master with extraordinary skills,...Ye Feiyu helped Mu Shi up, while his two eyes stared fixedly at the ruins before him.
The common people had already rummaged through it, and two figures emerged from the ruins, one above the other. One had blood on his back and legs, while the other huddled tightly, almost completely hiding under the other person.
Yèfēi yù's eyes were bloodshot, and he immediately said, “What are you doing, madam”
The old lady hadn't heard him. After all, the scene was too chaotic. She had been frightened by the earth dragon's thrashing. Right now, she was just babbling and urging people to save her quickly. There was no way she could hear anyone calling her name.
"Upon hearing this question, the slightly injured Jun Tao replied, "What's wrong with Young Master Since Granny was buried under the rubble, she must be waiting for rescue. Young Master, please help us! We are all women and none of us have much strength. Please help us lift Granny out!"
The old woman finally noticed them, and upon seeing Ye Feiyu, she immediately shouted: "What are you still doing there You're the only man in the family. Could it be that you'll just watch these maids and servants carry me around" As she spoke, she pushed Night Lianmiao who was lying on top of her, “Get up if you’re not dead! You’re suffocating me.”
Mu's family nearly collapsed, rushing forward and hugging Ye Lian tightly in her arms while loudly asking: "Did you fall on her, or did she pull you to take the fall"
The night, relentless in its fury, had beaten him mercilessly. He was covered in bruises and wounds, his body a tapestry of pain. He couldn't utter a word, only choked sobs as he cried out to the Mu clan, "Please let me go! Your grip hurts!"
Mu only then realized that her hand had landed on Ye Lianmian's back wound. Startled, she quickly pulled away, at a loss for how to hold her daughter, not knowing where to hold her.
The respected madam of the Ye family cried uncontrollably. Night Wenyan, on the other hand, grabbed a maid and asked her, "Tell me, did the second sister fall herself or was she pushed by the old lady to take the blame Just be honest, if you lie, I won't let you off."
The maid was very young, no more than ten or so years old. She had no idea where the old woman had gotten such a young child to serve in the courtyard. She just thought that the child looked timid and might be able to tell her a few truths.
Who would have thought that the child actually glared back at her and retorted, "What's the difference The elder madam is a grandmother, isn't it right for the second sister to take the blame for her If she really tripped and fell onto the elder madam herself, then that would be truly outrageous."
Ye Wen listened, utterly surprised. Who had instilled such a worldview in this child
She didn't want to speak to the child anymore, so she walked up to Ye Lianmian. As soon as her eyes met his, Ye Lianmian said, "You don't have to pretend to be kind to me, and you don't need to worry about who started it first. I willingly saved my grandmother, I am willing to take the blame for her, no one can control me!"
Mrs. Mu was so angry she trembled. She loudly questioned the old matriarch: "She's your granddaughter, a young girl! How could you bear to let your granddaughter take the blame for you When disaster strikes, you not only don't save her, but you even drag her down to cover for you. What kind of grandmother are you Are they truly your blood relatives"
Never did I expect the old matriarch to remain silent, but Ye Lianmian spoke instead: "You haven't raised me, so don't blame those who did. All of you dressed in fine clothes to attend the palace banquet, yet none of you thought about the fact that I am alone here celebrating the New Year If you truly considered me your daughter, wouldn't you stay and keep me company Wouldn't you make a few dumplings for me after returning home, allowing me to share in the joy of the Lunar New Year Everyone else has gone to celebrate, but I have no one to celebrate with. Mu Qianqiu, put your hand on your heart, do you truly consider me your daughter"
"Enough!" Yefeiyu couldn't stand it anymore. "No one treats you like a daughter, but please first acknowledge your own mother and sisters! We came here today to save you. If it weren't for that servant girl, we wouldn't have come."
This is clear enough. If it weren't for saving Ye Lianlian, they wouldn't care about the old woman's life or death.
Ye Lianmian stared at Ye Feiyu, gritting her teeth and spat out: "Unfilial!"
Ye Wen was about to turn and leave, but Ye Feiyu pulled him back.
No one spoke, neither Mu Shi nor Ye Feiyu. But Ye Wenyan understood. He held onto her because he wanted her to treat Ye Lianmian's wounds. Even though Ye Lianmian had said those words, they couldn't just stand by and watch her get hurt with no one to help her.
Ye Wen sighed, but still turned back and shoved a pill into Ye Lianmian's mouth.
She also told Ye Lianmian, "I saved you only because you are my biological daughter. If you weren't, even if you were dying in front of me, I wouldn't give you a second glance."
Ye Lianmian actually wanted to spit out the pills. She didn't want to accept Ye Wenyan's charity. But she also knew how badly she was hurt. Being able to hold on and speak for a while was already her limit. If she didn't eat them, she might die. After all, in this situation, it was too difficult to find a doctor. The guest doctors at the house didn't even know if they were alive or dead. How could she wait
Ye Lianmian swallowed the pill. It tasted a bit sweet, not like medicine, more like candy.
She was a little suspicious, "What are you giving me to eat What medicine tastes like this"
Ye Wen didn't respond, getting up and about to leave. Ye Lianmian, despite her weakness, called out again: "Wait! There's still Grandma. Why don't you save Grandma Why don't you give Grandma medicine"
Mu truly wanted to kill her daughter, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. All she could do was angrily shout: "What medicine did she use She pulled you and had you cushion for her, she wasn't hurt at all, what medicine did she use"
The night stretched on, Ye Lianchang muttered, "It's good that my grandmother wasn't injured. If there's another time, I'll still take the hit for her. Unkindness to one who gives kindness is a great sin, let alone a birth mother who doesn't care for me."
Mu's hands trembled, clenched into fists.
Yè Wēn Yán had to admire Old Madam Ye at this moment. To brainwash a child to such an extent was a skill in itself. However, she still told Yè Lián Miàn word for word: "I just now saved you because you are your mother's biological child. Old Madam is not your biological mother, so life and death have nothing to do with me."
Upon hearing this, the old matriarch immediately shouted out loudly: “But your father is mine!”
She sneered, "So what You didn't care when I died either."
She didn't linger any longer, strode out of Fu Lu Yuan, and even from afar she could still hear the old woman shouting loudly: "Jing Sheng Is Jing Sheng alright Have you checked on the two masters" Unfortunately, no one paid her any attention.
Ye Feiyu caught up to her from behind, grabbed her arm and asked, "Yaner, where are you going"
"I'm going to check on Fifth Sister first, then I'll head into the city to see what's happening. This time the earthquake was too strong, even our General's Mansion had several collapsed houses. Who knows how bad it is for other people! Especially in the Outer City, the government offices are also affected, so they definitely won't be able to help them out quickly. I can't rest easy without going to see for myself. Big Brother, when you have a moment, come back to my courtyard and take a look. My courtyard should be fine, but anything can happen."
Night Fei Jade nodded, "It's okay to go to the yard and have a look, but I'm really worried about Ye Wen. What can you solve by going to the city The ground dragon won't only turn over once. Although I haven't experienced it myself, I've read many historical records. So right now it's extremely unsafe. If you really have to go out, then I'll accompany you."
"No," Ye Wen said, refusing to budge. "We must have a man at home, especially with Elder Sister injured and needing care. Brother, rest assured, there won't be any more aftershocks. Someone has already used magic to shield both the inner and outer city walls of Lin'an, so it's absolutely safe for me to go out. As for what I can accomplish, brother, don't you remember I heal the sick."
She gave Yefeiyu a reason he couldn't refuse, and Yefeiyu, helpless, could only let go of her hand. He watched as she hurried away with a group of servants in the direction of the east courtyard.
He suddenly realized that he could no longer look at his younger sister the same way he used to. Just like how he himself had only just discovered, unknowingly, Yan'er already had so many people following her.
Old Madam and Mu left the Fulu Courtyard together. Old Madam said to Ye Feiyu, "Fourth Sister is a righteous person. Her life shouldn't be confined to the petty struggles of a household. Her footsteps will never stop at one place. Please rest assured, Young Master, Fourth Sister will be fine. There are people who will protect her throughout her life, keeping her safe and sound, and there are also those who will accompany her in enjoying the world."
Ye Feiyu turned her head and looked at Jimama for a while, asking her: "Grandma, why don't you go with Yan'er"
"Ma Ma smiled, "This old slave was assigned to serve the Fourth Sister, but since the Fourth Sister has allowed this old slave to take care of the Madam, then this old slave should stay and take care of her. No matter what, the master's words are like an imperial decree to me."
Ye Wen, accompanied by Ji Duo and Zhuier, went for another round in the manor. Thankfully, Ye Chu'ian was unharmed; it was only Liu who sprained her ankle in the panic. At a time like this, a sprained ankle wasn't a major issue.
She casually rescued two servants from Ye Chu's courtyard, and when Ye Chu saw her about to leave, she immediately followed behind.
The maidservant, Suixi, followed closely behind Ye Churen without a word.
Ye Wen reminded her, “At this time, it's best for you to stay and accompany Madam Liu instead of following me outside the mansion. Besides, I'm going into town to check the situation. Perhaps I'll need to hire people to carry injured people to the doctor. You wouldn't be much help if you came with me.”
When Liu heard this, she quickly said, "Don't worry about me, with so many people here, who would even care about my sprained ankle. Just let the fifth sister go with you. Even if she can't do anything else, at least she can lend a hand. We need all the help we can get right now."
Ye Wen then said nothing more.
Ye Chu's heart thumped with excitement as she followed her out the door. The moment they stepped outside, a voice called from behind them, "Fourth!"
