the Fourth Miss of the Ye Family and must carry out the grandest of ceremonies – three letters of engagement, six rituals, eight sedan chairs – to escort her from General Manor to Yan Hua Palace with...Tonight, her long hair was styled in a very clever way, with many accessories to hide the single strand of hair that had been cut off last night by the Nightflying Boat.
She really dislikes Ye Wen, she disliked him before, and now she dislikes him even more. 。When my grandfather was alive, he had only one granddaughter. He almost always got her what she wanted, including her marriage. 。But he ignored the other children, barely paying them any attention. Even she, who had been raised by her grandmother, couldn't get a kind word from him. 。Now things became even stranger. Grandfather passed away, but her mother and older siblings treated her better than ever before. 。And even the second room's cousin, that brother who was once the most unwelcome in the family but also the best-looking one, had started leaning towards Ye Wenyan. He even almost chopped off her head to protect Ye Wenyan. 。The night wore on, and the more Ye Lian thought about it, the angrier he became. He wished nothing more than for Ye Wenyan to be executed immediately. 。Auntie Tang was also shocked, her mouth agape. It took her a good while before she could speak - "Didn't you come back last night My goodness! What are you doing Has your family gone mad" She looked at Mu Shi and asked loudly, "Jinggui's wife, do you know about this"Mu Shi frowned; she didn't. This morning, she had only brought Ye Qingmei directly here and hadn't even bothered to call Ye Wenyan 。She meant well, thinking that Ye Wenyan liked to sleep in and the old lady wouldn't want to see her, so she decided not to call. 。But I didn't expect Ye Wenyan to have left completely, is this really true If it's true, where could the child have gone Mu shi unconsciously glanced at Jì MaMa, seeing that Jì MaMa didn't seem to care much about whether Ye Wenyan was in the General's Mansion or not, she had a little more understanding of the situation. 。Ye Wen's absence from the General's Mansion means he must be at Yan Hua Palace. If we were to just move Yan Hua Palace out, then no one would dare do anything anymore. 。Yet, Ye Wen seemed reluctant to do this at night, so Mu didn't feel comfortable saying more. 。But the night stretched on relentlessly, still lingering there, refusing to leave. It kept returning to the courtyard where Night Gentle Words had gone that morning. There was no one in the house, not even her close maidservant, Zhuai'er. 。Mu Shi couldn't take it anymore and shouted, "Don't talk nonsense!"
This sentence exploded Ye Lianmian again, who immediately yelled — "I'm not talking nonsense, she just isn't home! You only know how to protect your daughter, no matter if she's right or wrong you protect her. Why is that A young girl staying out all night, shouldn't she be punished Shouldn't family rules be enforced Why does everything get covered up here Even after the truth was revealed, you still defend her. Why is that What kind of mother are you"
Ye Lianmian was truly furious, "That Ye Wen only knows how to cause trouble. What else could she be doing She liked Sixth Prince before, now who has she set her eyes on Staying out all night and not returning home, who knows which man's bed she's sleeping in!"
Slap! A whip crack suddenly echoed, and Ye Lianmian, who had just been shouting obscenities, suddenly spun around. Her cotton robe was whipped open by a soft whip, revealing a gash that immediately drew blood.
The night was so long and painful, he cried out miserably. He fell to the ground and didn't dare to get up. 。Mu's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively wanted to step forward to protect Ye Lianmiao, but she was held back by Ye Qingmei. 。Ye Qingmei shook her head at her, using an extremely low voice: "Mother, no, Lian Mian's words are truly too harsh." 。“The whip was drawn by jié māmāmā, with great force, not at all ambiguous. ” 。At first, the pain in her arm was just unbearable, but she could still endure it and sit on the ground crying. 。But after crying for a while, she realized something was wrong. The wound didn't just hurt anymore; it was an unbearable pain that made her unable to move. 。She looked at Granny Ji with terror, wanting to know, "What did you do to me" At this moment, Granny Ji was already bowing to Lady Mu, earnestly saying: “Madam, Fourth Sister has left the old slave by your side to serve you. The old slave believes that she has served well.” 。But as an old servant, I came to the mansion of a first-rank general to protect Fourth Sister. So, I cannot tolerate such vulgar and obscene language, even if she is your biological daughter, Madam. As a loyal servant, I must protect her with all my might and won't allow any harm to come to her. 。"
Mu took a deep breath and nodded, "I understand everything, Grandma. You don't need to explain. I get it" 。“What do you understand She almost beat me to death! She snapped my arm with a whip!” Yeliang finally understood what was wrong. Jimama's whip didn't just tear her flesh, it actually broke her arm. 。Aunt Grandmother Tang was thoroughly taken aback by this scene. She remained speechless for quite a while, whereas Old Madam had adapted slightly better. Although she thought Granny Ji's actions were a bit too harsh, it paled in comparison to the time Ye Wenyan had shoved her second uncle's hand into a fire pit, resulting in a broken bone. That was truly horrifying. 。She didn't even summon a doctor. She just stared at Mu Shi, wanting to see how this mother would react to the scene and how she would handle the situation. 。But Mu didn't react at all, even sitting back down in her chair with Ye Qingmei's support. 。The old lady thought for a moment, then opened her mouth to persuade Ye Lianmian: "Don't cry, crying won't help. Your biological mother never intended to care about you. In her eyes, you are nothing at all, not even as good as a servant in her courtyard." 。Okay, get up. The ground is cold and if you stay down any longer, it'll be even worse when it freezes later. 。"Your grandmother has sent someone to find a doctor for you. As for whether your bones can be set, that's up to fate." 。There's nothing I can do about it, if you want to blame someone, blame your mother and your younger sister. 。The old woman's words directly escalated the conflict to a peak. Ye Lianmian hated the Mu family so much that she almost gritted her teeth in anger. 。If she had a knife in front of her right now, she would without hesitation pick it up and stab the Mu family. 。The Mu family wasn't doing much better either. Her whole body was shaking, a mix of anger and heartache for Ye Lianmian. 。Looking into the unending gaze that stretched across the night, my heart grew heavier and heavier. Eventually, I couldn't bear it any longer and burst into tears. 。At this time, Xiao came out to play the role of peacemaker. She comforted Mu: "Sister-in-law, don't cry. Every family has arguments. I believe Granny Ji won't be too harsh. We just need to find a good doctor and she will definitely recover." 。“It’s done, and then he said to the old lady, “Why don’t I have someone take my mother’s name tag and go to the palace to invite a imperial physician”
The old lady glared at her fiercely, “Invite what imperial physician, my name tag doesn’t have that much face, to invite an imperial physician…” 。Go to the city and find a good doctor. There isn't much silver left in our common account, so weigh your expenses carefully. 。“ Night after night, she cried out in agony. She felt so wronged, so unloved. Her mother didn't care for her, and neither did her grandmother. In this house, she was simply an extra burden.” 。Why is her life so miserable What's the point of her living anymore Aunt Grandma Tang finally calmed down, tremblingly pulling up the old lady's sleeve and asking in alarm, "Is this what a First-Rank General's mansion is like Sister, what kind of life have you been living in Kyoto Servants dare to openly beat their mistress, is this First-Rank General's mansion hell Sister, why don't you come back with me to Xiushan County From now on, if anyone asks, you just tell the truth! I want to see how those servants justify this! It's outrageous, sister, how could you have married into such a family If your ancestors knew about this, they would be heartbroken! You are the direct daughter of my father-in-law! Waaaa…" Aunt Grandma Tang started crying, stirring up trouble on one hand while genuinely being scared on the other... 。This was the first time she had encountered such a thing. She didn't know who Ji Mama was, only that she was a servant. For a servant to hit their master so brazenly... This First Rank General's Mansion was truly terrifying. 。She really regretted staying now. What if that old woman's whip landed on her She would be in trouble!
Madam Tang had already started to back down, even mentally calculating how she could find an excuse to leave the Ye family
However, Granny wasn't going to say anything more. She felt it was inappropriate to speak with these people; all she could think about was whether Mu Shi would ever get over this hurdle in her heart, and if so, would the fourth sister make things difficult again 。She had a little regret for herself to beat the night with this whip, but fortunately, the younger brother and sister were still in the mansion, not leaving with the fourth sister. She still wanted to find them to discuss it later. 。Each person had their own thoughts. The Xiao family had already sent someone to invite a doctor, and she personally helped Ye Lianmian up. She even ordered her close maid, Jinxiu, to personally send Ye Lianmian back to her room. 。Since Ye Lianlian kept making a fuss about not wanting to return to Xiyuan, Xiao shi had someone take her to her own room. This touched Ye Lianlian deeply. 。Xi Chun stopped crying and stared with wide eyes, waiting to see the excitement. 。Liu Shi tightened her brows, unwilling to be involved in these matters. She wanted to leave, but couldn't find an opportunity or reason to do so. 。Ye Chu Lian watched this scene silently, without saying a word. But when Ye Lian Mian was helped out of the Fulu courtyard, she took advantage of everyone's inattention and quietly slipped away. 。When Liu saw this scene, she was really sweating for her. 。But seeing Ye Chu'lian leave smoothly, and with no one having the energy to pay attention to her, she finally let out a breath of relief and continued sitting in the hall, waiting to see how things developed further. 。Things developed quickly. Aunt-grandmother regained her spirit and sent someone to check on Ye Wen's courtyard at night. 。The Mu family had no reason to stop her, and Nanny Ji didn't have the standing to intervene. They could only watch helplessly as the servants went back and forth, bringing back the news that Fourth Sister wasn't in the room. 。Then they called the gatekeeper over. The old madam sent her maid to question him with a board, and the gatekeeper had no choice but to tell the truth. Sister Four had left the mansion yesterday afternoon and hadn't returned yet. 。Tang became furious and slammed her fist on the table, “This is terrible! This is a major incident! A young woman unmarried returning home late at night...this could be fatal if it gets out!” 。The daughter-in-law is back, and it's not you or me, how can you just ignore the children! This kind of thing would be unreasonable in anyone's house! Mu shi stopped crying, when she was confronted with such words, her mind went blank for a moment. 。At the entrance of the General's mansion, Ye Chulian paced back and forth, occasionally glancing out...tual power is something only the Fourth Miss could make the Emperor so willing to do. " 。The old slave had heard before that spiritual power could be passed on to mortals, and even their mortal spirit...
