f you accept being bullied, how will you ever rise to become the mistress But don't feel sorry for your fourth young lady either, she raised these maids herself, so any bitter fruit she reaps is her o...On the way to the house eastward, Ye Wenyan had already sent Ji Duo ahead to inquire about the situation. No matter what, he absolutely couldn't let Ye Chulian be bullied by Xiao Ziming. 。As long as Ye Chu Lian is fine, she doesn't care about anything else. 。

Prince Ningguo, Xiao Fang, approached her with a face full of apology and lowered his voice: "Yaner, it's all Ziming's fault. Don't worry, when we get there, whether it's beating or punishment, you decide." 。If he really did something inhumane, you could kill him and Uncle Xiao wouldn't say a word of complaint. 。Just please don't get angry first, let's take a look at the situation and then talk. 。"

Ye Wen's face remained composed. She knew this wasn't Ning Guohou's fault today. Although Xiao Ziming was wrong, there must be something else going on here. " 。According to the original owner's memory of Xiao Ziming, that person, although he was always infatuated with her, couldn't possibly do such an outrageous thing. 。Besides, the object of his affection is Ye Wenyan, how could he possibly run away with Ye Chulian She glanced at Xiao Fang and said, “Uncle Xiao, you’re overreacting. Things aren’t that bad.” 。My fifth younger sister has always been close to me. I know her well, and there's no way she would ever get involved with someone like the son of Duke Ningguo. 。“

When someone nearby heard this, that person was also quick-witted and asked, “How does the Fourth Miss know she couldn’t do it Miss Ye Wu is just a concubine’s daughter. If a concubine’s daughter could marry into the Ningguo Duke's Mansion, it would be a good match” 。" Ye Wenyan glanced at him with a displeased expression, "First of all, Your Majesty had already spoken. You should call me Empress." 。Besides, my fifth younger sister also had a long talk with the Emperor through the night when the earth dragon turned over, offering him strategies and advice. 。I also dined with the Emperor alongside the Heavenly Emperor and received a gift from him. 。Do you think such a noble young lady would sacrifice her reputation for the sake of a marquis's son Furthermore, my younger sister, whom I, Ye Wenyan, acknowledge, has seen all sorts of worldly affairs. A mere Ningguo Marquisate wouldn't even catch her eye!

These words caused those present to be both envious and jealous, also turning the face of Ningguo Marquis Xiao Fangzheng red.

He hadn't initially thought that Ye Chulian had seduced Xiao Ziming, nor had he been annoyed by Ye Chulian, the illegitimate daughter. 。But he was quick-witted and soon thought of the good relationship between Ye Chulian and Ye Wenyan. If he could marry Ye Chulian, then in the future he would also be considered related to the Emperor Zun. 。Although she was a commoner's daughter, as long as Ye Wenyan acknowledged her, she was noble. 。He had a good idea, but he didn't expect that Ye Wenyan didn't look down on the Ningguo Hou Mansion at all. Thinking about his own son who was actually secretly admiring Ye Wenyan, he felt overwhelmed and confused, thinking that this matter was getting more and more tangled. 。Finally, people walked into the house on the east side and, led by the maid, arrived at that courtyard. 。The mansion doesn't have a new name yet, and there are no plaques hanging outside. People from the General's Mansion just call it Dongzhai out of habit. 。When people arrived, they saw Ye Chulian's maid, Sui Xi, pounding on the door while shouting, "Miss, Miss, please come out! Open the door! We can't stay here, something is going to happen!" 。Then, Ye Chu Lian’s voice came from inside the house: “You go back. I can't leave this room tonight. I'll only be able to go out once I’ve calmed down Shao Shizi.” 。Get out of here quickly, don't let anyone see you were here. The fewer people who know about this, the better. 。"Ye Wenyan frowned, turned his head and said to Ji Mamā: "Yeliu has been missing for a long time, Mamā, go find him and bring him back as soon as possible. " 。"Nowadays, *Jie's* grandmother no longer stays by *Mu's* side. She is with *Zhui'er* and accompanies Ye Wenyan together." 。After speaking with Ye Wen for a while, it was discovered that Ye Lianmian wasn't in the team. So, I immediately went to find her. 。At this time, the calculating Jie Du also came over to inquire about the situation. He leaned down and whispered a few words in her ear. 。Yè Wēn Yán listened and frowned again, his hand inside his sleeve gently crushing a flower. He used telepathy to speak to Yè Chǔ Lián inside the house: “I’ll cast a little spell in a moment, don’t be afraid, just follow my instructions and say what I tell you, understood”Inside the house, Yè Chǔ Lián was holding a copper basin and slapping it against Xiāo Zǐ Míng. Hearing Yè Wēn Yán speak to her suddenly startled her, causing the basin in her hand to fall with a bang onto Xiāo Zǐ Míng’s head, who was already sitting on the floor, making him let out a shriek. 。 This sounded quite different to those listening outside. Some people smacked their lips and said, "Young Master Xiao seems very pleased!" Xiao Fang's face flushed red in an instant, and he immediately confronted the man, "Hearing is deceiving, seeing is believing. Sir Zhang hasn't seen anything, so where did you get this from This marquis is right here, I urge you, Sir Zhang, to be mindful of your words!" 。That Zhang official was only a fourth-rank official, so he wasn't too bold in front of the Marquis of Ningguo. He lowered his head and remained silent. 。Night had fallen, and even the little Yuchu could react. She realized it was her fourth elder sister speaking, though she found this way of communicating rather strange. Still, she quickly gave herself an explanation: it must be a spell taught by the Divine Emperor. 。But how should she reply Night Wen Yan reminded her timely: "You just need to talk to me with your mind, you don't have to speak aloud." 。"Ye Chu Lian understood, so she thought in her mind and said: "Fourth Sister, I understand. I will definitely say what you say." 。" "Good" 。Ye Wen retracted the transmission, closed his eyes slightly and sent out his divine sense. He quickly discovered that he had found Ye Lianmiao's grandma. 。Ye Lianmian was still struggling, even wanting to run away. Ji Mamu picked her up like a chick. 。Ye Wenyan smirked, walked two steps forward, stood beside Mu Shi, and whispered, "Mother, Second Sister isn't here" 。After finishing his words, he didn't wait for Mu Shi to reply. From within his wide sleeves, the fragrance of flowers dispersed as he formed a hand seal with a subtle shift. Unnoticeably, he swapped the positions of Ye Chu Lian in the room and Ye Lian Mian from afar. 。With a piercing scream echoing through the night, Mu Shi suddenly shuddered, her face contorting into a mask of terror as she turned to look at Ye Wenyan. 。"Just listen to Ye Wenmian said expressionlessly: "Our second miss is really worrying!"Mu Shi's heart clenched tightly, but she quickly regained her composure. 。She glanced at the door to her room, and then listened to the continuous sound of pleading coming from inside: "Don't come here! Get away! Xiao Ziming, are you blind! Open your eyes and see who I am!"

Outsiders wouldn't be able to tell anything was wrong, but Mu Shi, as a mother, immediately heard the problem.

She could tell that it was the sound of Yuliang, but at the same time she could be sure that the one who had spoken before wasn't Yuliang. 。It's very clear that the people inside the house have been switched, but with so many guarding here, how did they manage to changeShe turned her gaze to Ye Wenyan again. Ye Wenyan didn't avoid her eyes at all, staring back calmly. In the end, it was Mu who lost the face-off... 。She let out a soft sigh and said, “You were right” 。Then he took a few steps forward and said, "Lian Mian, come out" 。Everyone was stunned. "Lianmian" Lianmian isn't Miss Night Er's name, is it Why would the Madam be calling out to someone inside by Miss Er's name Could it be that instead of Fifth Miss, it was Second Miss who was with Young Master Xiao insideNingguo Hou also became a little flustered. Second Miss Second Miss was raised by Old Lady Night, and Empress Dowager looked down on that elder sister. If the Xiao family were to get involved with Second Miss, they would be finished!He made a quick decision and took a few steps forward, standing behind Mu Shi and loudly saying, "Ziming, you come out too! Hiding in a room with a young lady under broad daylight, what kind of propriety is this Your father knows you've been deceived, come out and explain things clearly!"Mu Shi glanced at Xiao Fang, her eyes seeming to carry a reproach. 。Xiao Fang also looked at her and spoke first: “I know my son best. He's always been measured and restrained.” 。Besides, he has never interacted with the Second Miss of the Night Family. They only met a few times at banquets hosted by the Night Family several years ago, and even then, they were far apart and didn't speak. 。When Jinggui Brother dined with me, he only brought Fourth Miss. He never mentioned Second Miss. 。"How could my Zining, a stranger to this girl, possibly take the initiative to flirt with her" Ning Guohou's words were reasonable, and Mu Shi had nothing to refute. 。She is well aware of her daughter's temper, and while she wouldn't necessarily look favorably upon Xiao Ziming, it's certainly possible for her to use him to harm others. 。She had already thought about this matter of changing people in the house. Besides Ye Wenyan, no one else could have such ability. 。This soul residing in her daughter's body, would even resort to something like possessing a corpse. How could a simple act of switching bodies be difficult for her Besides, with an Emperor behind her, it wouldn't be surprising if she knew how to pull off such small tricks. 。As for who Ye Lianmian targeted, she knew. Ye Chulian was just a decoy; the real target was undoubtedly Ye Wenyan. 。But afraid that Ye Wen was too smart, she dared not. So in the end, she set her sights on Ye Chu Lian. 。Finally, the door swung open with a bang. 。Ye Lianmian rushed out in a panic, running straight towards Mu Shi and leaping towards him. 。Mu Shi was held in her arms, calling out "Mother" over and over again. This surprised her, as her second daughter had never been so close to her since childhood. 。It's a shame that we finally got closer today, but something like this happened. 。She pulled Ye Lianmian's arm away from her neck, her face dark as she asked, "Why are you in the house"Ye Lianmian turned to look at Xiao Ziming who had also come out. The man seemed to have sobered up, staring blankly at the golden hairpin in his hand. 。She burst into tears: "Mother, I wasn't in the house. I don't know why I'm in the house." 。"It should be Ye Chulian here. I was walking outside just fine, even with Granny Ji. How did I suddenly end up in the room Mother, there's a ghost! There must be a ghost in the house!"

“Nonsense!” Mu shi slapped her hard and said loudly, “Where is there a ghost in this house Look up and see the clear sky today, look at the sun above your head. In broad daylight, where would a ghost come from! Lianlian, you've disappointed me too much!"

>ily were driven to the front yard, even Old Master Shen and Madam Shen were carried over.Ye Wen looked at these people, saying nothing. Instead, he crushed a flower in his hand and directly used magic...
