hu'er frowned. "How could Grandmother be so...so..." The maid almost blurted out another word again. 。The Xiao family glared at her, but she didn't dare to do anything. She just waved for someone to c...“You drugged me, you deceived me into this room, and you even took the initiative to lock the door. Clearly, I am the victim, so why are you acting so pitiful now Miss Ye Er, I don't even have a passing acquaintance with you, I can't even remember your name, why do you insist on blaming me Although I was drunk, look at my clothes, and then look at yours, is there any sign of disarray Nothing happened between us, I didn't even touch a single strand of your hair, what do you want from me”Ye Lianmeng was also getting impatient, “What do I want I want you to marry me! Even if you didn't touch me, my reputation is already ruined. The fact that we shared a room together cannot be changed...” 。"If your Xiao family doesn't admit to it, you will be laughed at by the world!"

"You—"Xiao Ziming was so angry that his face turned red. He really couldn't argue with Ye Lianmian. He didn't have Ye Lianmian's shamelessness. 。But he really didn't want to marry Ye Lianmian, marrying a woman like that was better than dying! This thought flashed through his mind, and immediately he made a decision. He rushed forward, snatched the wine jar from Bai Taishi's hand, and smashed it on the ground. 。The wine jar shattered, a large shard of porcelain clutched in Xiao Ziming's hand, pressed against his carotid artery. 。"I will never marry you. A woman of your depraved morals is not worthy of entering my Ningguo Hou Mansion." 。 。As long as I, Xiao Fang, hold the title of Marquis of Ningguo for a day, and as long as my son is the heir apparent of Marquis of Ningguo, you can believe me, the number of women brought to our door will be countless. 。Second Miss Ye, today my Xiao family gives you face and will not pursue the matter of you poisoning my son. 。But if you persist in this unruly behavior, then we will report to the authorities. This marquis believes that Lord Pool Commissioner will give my Xiao family justice!"

Yè Liánmiàn was terrified, even though he was unwilling deep down, when he saw Chí Hóngfāng take a step forward, he had to swallow his anger.

At this time, the second branch of Ye's family, who had remained silent until now, also spoke up, with Chang Xueqiao representing them: "A girl should always abide by her duty. Otherwise, you will not only lose face yourself, but also disgrace your family." 。" Ye Lianmian cursed, "Shut your mouth! What do you think you are" Chang Xueqiao wasn't angry, she still spoke in a gentle tone, "Second Miss shouldn't be angry and make a fool of yourself, that would be even more rude." 。The night was so long, I felt suffocated. Words failed to express the way I felt. 。Today, Mingming in the house is not her, why did it end up like this It's as if she doesn't recognize what's right or wrong. What is right thenMu looked at this scene and sighed heavily, then said to Ning Guo Hou: "It is my fault for teaching her poorly, making her like this, Ning Guo Hou laughs at me." 。"Fortunately, no major mistakes were made. If the Xiao family is magnanimous and doesn't pursue this matter, then let it be at that!"Ning Guo Hou nodded, "Very well, let it be at that!"Mu Shi thought for a moment, then said again: "There's one more thing I want to warn Young Master Xiao..." 。“She looked at Xiao Ziming and said, 'Today's matter is our Ye family’s apology to you. Your stepmother apologizes to you. If you have anything to ask for in the future, your stepmother will definitely do her best to help you.'” 。But your aunt also wants to tell you, our Yán'er is already betrothed. She is the future Empress, and her marriage concerns the national fortune of the entire land. Therefore, your aunt hopes that you will let her go and stop thinking about her. Please do not mention any past affections to her anymore. 。You two have never had any real connection, just having eaten together a couple of times brought by your families. You were both young and naive back then, what could that even be called a connection Believe me, I'm saying this for your own good, and for the good of the Xiao family. If you continue to cling to our Yan'er, it won't just harm yourself, but also the entire Xiao family. 。Having said this, she cast a deep look at Xiao Ziming and then stopped speaking to him, turning her gaze to the assembled officials instead. 。"I haven't brought up my daughter well, making a laughing stock of all of you." 。This daughter was never raised by my side, and now she's like this. It's a tragedy for her, and it's a regret for me. 。This time, the Xiao family will not pursue her crimes. As for myself, I also hope that your Majesty, along with the princes and ministers present, will show mercy and let her go. 。If I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely discipline her well. 。If there's no chance left, then let reality take care of teaching her a lesson. I won't say another word for her, nor will I do another thing for her. 。"Today's events here, please, for the sake of our ancestors' illustrious contributions to the family, give me some face. Once you leave this place, please do not speak of this again!"

With that, he turned back to Ye Wenyan: "Wenyan, I will give you an explanation for what she did to you today." 。“ Ye Wen nodded in response, accepting the assignment. 。The general's widow had said it this way, who else could say no So people readily agreed to forget about it, and indeed nothing happened. At most, they had just shared a meal and some wine together. 。Then, Third Prince Quan Qingyun stood for a while and listened for a while. Seeing that things were almost settled, he opened his mouth and said: "Alright, it's time to end the Underworld Longevity Feast." 。"Now, everyone, pay your respects to General Ye one last time, then you may all return."

The others also felt it was time to leave. With such an incident happening in the Ye family, they were sure to be locking themselves up to discipline their child. It wouldn't be good for them to stay any longer.

Then each of them returned to the front yard of the First Rank General's Mansion, and they bowed before each of the memorial tablets that had returned from their night duties, then left. 。But Quan Qingcheng and several princes did not leave, and Ye Zhinan's subordinate generals also stayed. 。They were left behind by Mu Shi. When everyone who was supposed to leave had gone, only the Ye family and these people remained in the front courtyard of Ye Mansion. Then, Mu Shi addressed the martial artists and said: “I want to keep you all a little longer because I have a few more things to say to you.” 。You are all General Ye Da's old subordinates, brothers who fought together through life and death in his campaigns. 。Some of you have shielded him from arrows on the battlefield, and some have carried him out of the pile of corpses. I know all these things; he has never hidden anything from me. 。Of course, there are more than just you guys who have such a close friendship. It's just that coincidentally you're all in Beijing today and able to attend. 。And some of our brothers are still guarding the borders, just like him. They can only go home twice a year at most, and sometimes when there is intense fighting, they can't come back for several years. 。They can't come, but I know they feel the same way you do in their hearts and miss the General too. 。Actually, I miss him even more than you do, because I am his wife. We have been married for twenty years and have four children. 。Today, I want to do some things, and I don't want to explain them to anyone because they are my personal matters. 。The reason I kept you all here wasn't to explain anything, but just to say a few last words to you. 。Fellows of Jinggui, this is my last banquet held at the First Rank General's Manor, in the Night Household. It is also the last thing I can do for General Ye. 。Wait until the banquet is over, wait until all of you have left this mansion. Whatever decision I make, I hope you can all accept it and understand me, and have compassion for me. 。The generals looked at each other, some confused, but also seeming to understand. 。Mu's words weren't very clear, but they understood the meaning behind them nonetheless. They instantly grasped how difficult Mu's decision had been and even felt sorry for her, thinking that her life hadn't been worth it at all. 。Whether it has value or not, life has already passed like this, and things have already reached this point. 。Whatever the hardship, it's all a choice we made in the past. All the consequences can only be borne by ourselves. 。Lü Wei stood up and, facing the Mu clan, performed a military salute, calling out: “Madam.” 。Then he shook his head helplessly and said, "Since Madam has made a decision, we shall do as you have ordered." 。We know a few things, though not much, but we also understand how difficult the decision you have made must have been. 。I would not advise Lady to change her mind. I only wish to tell Lady that the country needs the General, and loyalty always finds it difficult to reconcile both sides. 。We like him, but we also know that he's not perfect. 。In the end, it was still your wife and a few children who suffered. 。Lü Weì put the words here, from now on, no matter what difficulties Madam encounters, all of us will do our utmost to protect you, and also protect the young masters and ladies. 。"In our hearts, you will always be the General's only wife, and we respect you!" Other generals followed Lü Wèi's example and bowed to Mrs. Mù. Mrs. Mù watched them bow, watched them leave, then watched the servants of Ye Mansion shut the gate heavily. 。Tears finally welled up and flowed down her cheeks. 。Ye Feiyu stepped forward and gently hugged her mother. Ye Qingmei also came over and nestled beside her mother. 。Yè Wēn yánquè méi dòng, tā hái zài zhǐyàng zhànzhe, xīnlǐ shuō bù chū shì gè shénme zuì. 。“Sister, 。"Qian Qingcheng didn't know when he had crept over again, "Sister, don't be afraid, we're here for you!" "Yes," 。"Ye Chu Lian also opened her mouth and said, 'No matter when, you have us!'" "> in, so figure out a way yourself.” 。I'm getting tired, I need to rest. 。Tao left. He left very slowly. 。She kept pondering over a single thing in her mind: how could someone locked up in the firewoo...
