Ye Wenyan stuck out his tongue, "You don't hit smiling faces, I'm here to give you a gift. Senior brother wouldn't really throw me out, would you" 。Just now you were still over there, whose child will be like whom

So, Yan'er, you should be careful with your words. After all, I am your grandmother. Don't give people a chance to find fault with your mother. 。The old lady retorted with veiled words, criticizing her. 。Yet Ye Wen shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, Grandmother, you're overthinking. Besides, it's not really a mistake. After all, if my mother had pills, she wouldn't give them to you" 。So I used to be just like her, I didn't care what others thought. 。"

The old madam rolled her eyes, feeling like she was about to be driven mad.

" 。She decided to change the subject. There was no way around it. 。Then coughed lightly, pretending nothing had happened, and began to eat something else. 。A large family and a prosperous business should have some rules and order, that's how people who are truly living their lives do things. 。Although this house is a little small right now, it feels more like home. It makes us feel closer to each other. 。I was so pleased to see you all seated here, filling the room. 。"

Ye Wen was truly impressed by this old woman. After such a fright last night, and even breaking her foot, she slept through the night and woke up just like nothing had happened. She was able to organize the morning and evening routines as if nothing had occurred. Her mental fortitude was extraordinary! >>>" 。

Next, Madam Jun Tao will speak on behalf of the old lady—— "I have seen all the masters. The old lady's meaning is this: from now on, morning and evening visits must be restored, and everything in the house must follow the old ways. This way, the family won't appear chaotic, and only then can we demonstrate the grandeur and style of our first-rank general's mansion, so that outsiders will not laugh at us. "> 。People didn't have any doubts about this, after all, it had always been like that before, and every household was the same. 。The old lady nodded repeatedly as she watched everyone's reaction, and she was very satisfied that no one opposed her. 。Only then did she realize that someone was missing. She let out a surprised "Eh" and asked Liu Shi, "Where's the Fifth Miss"Liu Shi hastily stood up, looking flustered. She opened her mouth several times but couldn't form words. In her panic, she even glanced at Ye Wenyan's direction. 。The old lady frowned, how come everything was related to Ye Wenyan Seeing that the matter had reached this point, Ye Wenyan couldn't just remain silent. After all, she was the one who sent him out of the house, and it was her responsibility that he hadn't returned by now. 。"Then she spoke to the old madam: 'The fifth younger sister went out of the mansion early this morning. She went to see what was happening in the city and where help was needed.'" 。I sent one of my maidservants, a skilled accountant, to accompany her. There should be no problems. 。" Lius relaxed her breath. Ye Wenyan being able to acknowledge it was enough; she had been genuinely worried that Ye Wenyan wouldn't care at all, and then she would be truly helpless. 。But these words displeased the old lady, who immediately asked, "What was she going out to see As a concubine's daughter"Ye Wenyan said again, "Sister Wu has a righteous heart and cares for the people. This is also what Master taught well." 。" The old madam didn't want to speak with Ye Wenyan, so she turned to Liu and said: "Although you are a concubine, your daughter has never been raised by the legitimate mother. Therefore, there are some things you must teach her well." 。Just like how the heart belongs to the common people, it's not her turn as a lowly daughter to do such things!

Before, Lady Liu was also invisible, just like Ye Chulian. She rarely came during morning and evening rituals, and usually for half a year, the old lady wouldn't even acknowledge her because she was taking care of Madam Xiao's emotions. 。She's been getting scolded more and more frequently lately. It's become quite obvious how close she is to Ye Chulian, with them being reprimanded every other day. On New Year's Eve, Chulian was even beaten. And now, he's furious at her again. 。Liu's heart was also filled with anger. Were they, her and her mother, just playthings To be discarded and then picked up again If you pick them up, at least treat them well! One nose isn't a nose, the face isn't a face, what good is she to anyoneSo she didn't give the old madam a good look either. She immediately replied, "Regarding matters of common people, it was indeed not something Fifth Sister was involved in before. But now, Fifth Sister, Master and Second Master have hired a tutor for her, teaching her not only music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but also the principles of being a person. They constantly remind Fifth Sister to strive for excellence, to make a name for herself, and to bring honor to the family." 。So she had to strike that pose, because it's what the old lady and the second master were willing to see, something that would benefit the Ye family. 。"

The old madam was choked with pain, feeling that even a concubine dared to talk back to her now But she also felt that Liu was right. She had indeed intended to let Ye Chu Lian replace Ye Hongzhuang and support the facade of the second house>>> 。In two years, the emperor will turn eighteen and it will be time for the selection of concubines. At that time, we will send this illegitimate daughter into the palace. With the status of a first-rank general's mansion, she will at least become a concubine. Once she gives birth to a child, she can then be promoted to a noble consort. 。This is the achievements that the old man earned during his lifetime, plus there are so many generals watching, the royal family must give the Ye family enough face. 。So Ye Chu Lian was not wrong, but the problem is that she doesn't think about it that way anymore. 。Because His Highness has become different from before, it is obvious that something is happening with the Regent King and Dowager Empress. 。Moreover, Ye Chulian has been getting too close to Ye Wenyan recently, which has also caused her to feel wary. 。Mrs. Liu felt the old matriarch's anger, even though she didn't raise her head, she could feel the old matriarch's usual hostile gaze fixed on her. 。She didn't dare to look up, and deep down she also regretted that she had just spoken hastily for a moment. 。Now I don't know how to end this, and I have no idea what the old madam will do next. 。After a long silence, the old lady finally spoke again: "A concubine's daughter should behave like a concubine's daughter. No one has ever heard of a concubine's daughter going out and showing her face in public. This is a matter of upbringing." 。" " Ye Wen listened and felt uneasy. He immediately retorted: “Even a legitimate daughter should behave like one. I’ve never heard of any legitimate daughter daring to become pregnant before marriage.” 。So, this is the root of General Fu's downfall. Who should we blame Second Aunt, right"

Just mentioning this made Xiao feel particularly ashamed. The fact that Ye Wenyan kept bringing it up just added insult to injury. It was like someone was always targeting her wounds, adding salt to them when things were fine, poking at them when they were already sore. Would there ever be an end to this When would she finally get some peace

She wanted to regain some face for herself, so she said: "Hong Zhuang is now recognized as the legitimate consort of King Su." 。" hehe 。"Ye Wen's lips curved into a humorless smile. "I'm too tired to argue with you about how she became the Duchess of Shu. We just don't acknowledge it, so what can they do It's not like the King of Shu is here anyway..." 。“ When the old lady heard this, she knew it was time to step in. If things continued like this, Xiao Shi and Ye Wenyan would end up arguing. ” 。Today's topic isn't about letting them fight, but rather about the entire second family needing to humble themselves. 。So I quickly smoothed things over: "Alright, I called you all here today for something else. Bai, don't feel wronged, Wenyan is right, in this matter you both need to reflect." 。" Xiao shi also understood the old lady's meaning, so she quickly said: "Yes, daughter-in-law understands. 。“I’m sorry, little niece. Don’t trust the fourth miss anymore!”Night Wenyan remained silent. Xiao Shi was a little embarrassed, so the old lady continued, “Shu Bai, your family owes Night Wenyan more than just this.” 。The past is in the past, after all, now Wen Yan no longer favors the Sixth Prince. Let's not bring it up again. 。But the matter of the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, you must give Wen Yan and your elder sister-in-law an explanation! The old madam's posture today was very proper and very just, so much so that Mu Qianqiu was stunned. 。

What is she doing Bringing up the fifteenth of the lunar month on her own, and even asking the second family to explain themselves, this is to make them beat the second family again

She glanced at Ye Jingsheng and Xiao Shubic, as well as Xi Chun and Ye Fei Zhou. She felt that these people probably couldn't stand a beating either. If they continued fighting, they might be killed directly. Then wouldn't the old lady go crazy

The second family deserves to die, she dreamed of killing them, but now is not the time. Yan’er, keeping them alive has its uses, she still has things to investigate.

Mu Qianqiu steadied his emotions, trying to suppress them. At this moment, Ye Wenyan said: "Why are you more anxious than me I haven't rushed to settle the score with you, and you're the ones who rush your necks in front of me"Ye Ye Sheng, who had been silent all along, spoke up at this time, grunting softly: "Whether it's early or late is a calculation. Could you possibly just pretend nothing happened and not mention it at all Since it's going to happen sooner or later, then don't drag it on." 。But I still have to ask you, hearing you insist that you've been at the mansion all along, and that on the fifteenth night of the twelfth lunar month, you met with the Fourth Prince who was returning home, having tea with him and your brother, and then returning to the mansion with your brother the next day... 。"Since that's the case, wouldn't your account be a bit forced"

"Forced Not at all!" Ye Wenyan looked innocent, "How could it be forced Don't you know what I'm like at home Some things are said to outsiders, and some things are said privately among ourselves. If I were to insist at home that nothing happened, then each of you would have delusions! I could fool Old Madam just like I did on New Year's Eve, turning all of you into lunatics." 。"How about it, willing to go crazy" Nightingales gazed fiercely at the night sky, she really wished she could just go mad. What did it matter if this witch called her crazy at home As long as Night Flying Boat's life was saved. 。Although this son doesn't care, it's still true that something is better than nothing. He's his only son, after all. If he really died, their family line would be broken. 。 Before he could even speak, Ye Wen said again, "A madman can't go to court anymore, a madman can't be a general again. Uncle Three, you need to think this through! But actually, there's no need to think too hard. You didn't need to go to court anyway, and you couldn't be General Ye Er anymore." 。"

Ye Wang Sheng was a bit stunned, "What do you mean"

Ye Wen Yan looked at the old lady, "Didn't Grandma go with Second Uncle At the New Year's Eve Palace banquet, the Emperor personally said that he would remove his general title. Although it was supposed to be removed when he resumed court on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, isn't this a dragon turning over The court couldn't resume for a while, so maybe it was considered removed from the evening of New Year's Eve! Grandma is responsible for all this. If Grandma hadn't been making a fuss at the palace banquet and stirring up trouble, Second Uncle wouldn't be following you watching the drama!" 。The night view blinded me……ople forget some things. 。All the servants who left the General's Mansion had to take the pill under their noses. After swallowing it, they drank a large bowl of water to make sure it went down their...
