n shook her head, but then nodded. "Half and half!" she said. "Half and half. Empress Li definitely won't be grateful to me, but Empress Yu might be a different story. Hehe, actually, whether the empr...When smashing firewood, one smash is enough for a log. Ye Wenyan’s hand was swift and accurate, with just two hammer blows, the Su Mansion became an open-air attraction.
Inside, people were screaming to report to their master, but their master was seriously injured and unable to leave his bed. Hearing that the mansion had been smashed, all he could do was scream along from his bed.
Quan Qinglu had never felt so humiliated in his life. His mansion had been vandalized by Ye Wenyan time and again, leaving him utterly disgraced. He desperately wanted to know what Ye Wenyan's end game was; this feud seemed endless. He grabbed a servant and shouted, "Go and ask that witch from the Ye family why she came to smash my mansion today! Tell her to explain when this will ever end! Go now!"
The servant ran all the way to the gate and soon discovered that in just a short while, Ye Wenyan and Jiang Wanting had already smashed the walls on both sides of the gate flat.
The open-air scenic area had directly become a ruin, he really suspected that if this continued, the ruins would become relics.
Then, she hurried forward, crying and lamenting, "Fourth Sister, my lord sent me to deliver a message. He asks why you are again smashing the Wangfu, and when this will end."
Ye Wen stopped, took the tea brought from the carriage by Zhuai'er and Yu, and drank it before saying: "Why come to smash the Prince's Mansion Well, of course, it's for revenge. Last time I was letting out air for my cousin, this time it's for myself. As for when this matter will be over, well, it won't be over. You go back to your master, this matter is not over."
Then the servant truly cried, “No end What does no end mean”
She replied, "Not finished means that as long as I remember or when I'm bored at home, I'll bring the hammer and come to Su Wangfu for a walk. You can build this wall and gate however you like, I guarantee that I'll smash it once every time you rebuild it, I won't break my promise."
The Steward Eunuch, Fang Hai of Duke Su's Mansion, was fuming with anger. Seeing the servant and Ye Wenyan didn't understand, he pulled the servant aside angrily and stepped forward to question loudly: "Sister Night Four! Do you think this is where you can just smash things around Damaging the mansion is against the law! Now that General Ye has passed away, don't think anyone will back you up anymore!"
Ye Wen said unconcernedly, "Then go report me to the authorities! Anyway, no one is backing me up. Why not just arrest me directly Or perhaps the Su Mansion can send their guards to get me I'll stand right here in front of you and do nothing. What are you waiting for Are you going to eat your threats as a meal Are you going to arrest me or not If not, I'll continue working."
"Alright, he greeted Jiang Wanting and, dragging the sledgehammer, went back towards the wall. "
Fang Hai stepped forward, stopping the two of them. He no longer spoke to Ye Wenyan, but turned to Jiang Wanting instead: "Miss Jiang, are you representing Shangshu Jiang's mansion Can we understand this as Shangshu Jiang going against our Wangye"
Jiang Wanting glanced at him, a sneer on her face. "Cut the crap. Who are you trying to scare I'm here today to stand up for Wen Yan, and I don't represent our Jiang family. But if you want to know what you're doing, go ask your Lord Wang. Is he planning to oppose our Jiang family My father is a clean official who isn't afraid of him. But tell me, is he afraid of the Ministry of Punishment Is he afraid of all those documents piled on my father's desk"
Fang Hai’s heart skipped a beat, and the rest of his words died in his throat. He stood frozen, glancing between Ye Wenyan and Jiang Wanting for a moment each, realizing that neither of them were easy to provoke. But would he just let them wreck the Wangfu What about the face of Su Wangfu Would they even repair the broken walls and doors And if they did, wouldn’t they come back and destroy it again
In the blink of an eye, Ye Wenyan and Jiang Wanting had already bypassed him and started working under the wall.
The rhythm of work is like this: bang! Crash! Bang! Crash!
When the master of the house finally reacted and turned his head back, another section of the wall collapsed.
He was on the verge of tears.
Finally, the two sisters were exhausted. They didn't want their newly bought hammer anymore, so they threw it at the gate of Su Wangfu and called for their maidservants to get into the carriage. Fang Hai heard Ye Wenyan's last words: "Tell Quan Qinglu, regretting my marriage, I owe you a life. This matter will never end. As long as I am alive, I will definitely become his nightmare. For the rest of his life, he must atone for what happened on the second day of the first lunar month. Hurry up and repair the walls, I'll be back in a few days."
The carriage drove off, and the onlookers applauded. Fang Hai looked at the applauding crowd, and among them were many women. He angrily questioned: “What are you cheering for Wasn’t Ye Wen on that night someone you all dreamed of killing”
A woman replied, “Yes, even in my dreams, I want to strangle her because she's too beautiful. But that doesn't mean we can't cheer for her because she did something none of us dared to do!”
"Yeah! Next time if this happens again, we'll do it again."
People left, in small groups of three or two, and soon there were no people left in front of the mansion.
A servant stared blankly: “This all feels like a dream.”
It was indeed a dream, but an awful one. Fang Hai took a deep breath and turned to go back to his mansion, but a guard pulled him back and asked, "Master Fang, what about this wall and gate We can't just leave them here."
House Hai, finally letting out all his anger, roared: “If you are willing, then just leave it like this! No door, no walls, what use are you guards Today's incident happened because of your incompetence. Go and explain to the prince yourselves, don't come to me!”
The guards were also getting angry, and House Hai was exasperated. They retorted immediately, "You are the official in charge, what can we do if you don't speak up Shall we use force to take down Fourth Sister at night Could we even handle that crazy woman Besides, the Prince has already said that whenever anything happens with Fourth Sister, it must be reported to him first. Remember, we absolutely cannot make any decisions on our own. So, what should we do according to you, Eunuch Fang If we take her away, can you guarantee that this is what the Prince wants"
Fang Hai was scolded speechless and slunk back home. The guards still didn't figure out what to do about the gates and walls in the end, so they could only continue standing guard at the entrance, enduring the curious stares of all passersby, getting increasingly angry.
It's truly a case of fortunes turning. The Sixth Prince shouldn't have entered that marriage. Back when the former Duke of Su was in power, no one dared to provoke him. But ever since that wedding took place, he's become someone anyone can belittle and mock.
What on earth is going on
In the Jiang family's carriage, Jiang Wanting was already laughing so hard with her two maidservants that she had lost all composure.
Night Wen looked at the three people shaking his head repeatedly, "Is that so It's just smashed a few walls, is it worth being so excited"
Jiang Wanting covered her stomach and finally managed to hold back her laughter. Then she said, "How could it not be possible Although I haven't been a saint all my life... I mean, although I haven't always played by the rules... No, wait, what am I saying"
The fish took over the conversation: “Although my sister hasn’t done any less chivalrous deeds.”
"Yes!" Jiang Wanting slapped her thigh, "Although I've also done my share of righteous deeds, none have been as exhilarating as this. We smashed a prince's mansion! To be honest, without you, I wouldn't have dared to do this. But speaking of which, why are the people of Su Wangfu so afraid of you They're usually unreasonable and prone to violence. Even if you just say something unpleasant at their doorstep, they'll drag you in for a beating. Wen Yan, did you drug them"
"If I could drug them, I'd just knock them out directly, why bother with all this" Ye Wen said with a smile.
"Why are they afraid of you"
"Maybe she was feeling guilty!" She gave such an answer, "After all, she had done something wrong. No matter if it was day or night, she was afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. And I, on that day, stabbed myself in front of Quan Qinglu and was abandoned by him in the wilderness. So, to him, I am just like a ghost, nothing different. Of course he would be afraid of me knocking on his door."
"Is that so" Jiang Wanting blinked. "I heard that the young magistrate from the Imperial Inspectorate went to your house several times, all to find you. Could it be that your Sixth Highness is afraid of you, and this has something to do with it"
"What do you want"
Jiang Wanting laughed even more mischievously, "I think, Wen Yan, your luck with women is truly remarkable! The Imperial Inspector is a high-quality peach blossom, far surpassing the Sixth Prince. You must be careful and seize the opportunity."
Zhu'er listened and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I think the same way too."
The fish didn't know what was going on, but the gossiping heart couldn't be contained. It kept nudging Zhu'er: "What happened Tell me everything."
She was speechless, not wanting to pay any attention to the three of them. She looked out the window and said to herself, "How much longer until we reach the outer city I'm starving to death."
The three people who had fanned the flames of gossip finally reacted, realizing that it was already midday. Lunchtime had long passed, and they were already hungry. They had just finished a large amount of strenuous labor, and now mentioning it made their stomachs growl. They were so hungry that they felt dizzy and lightheaded.
Jiang Wanting hurriedly instructed the coachman, "Hurry up the carriage, dinner is a big matter."
The coachman urged the horses on, the wheels barely touching the ground as they raced. They traveled for over an hour before finally pulling up in front of a tavern outside the city gates.
This was Ye Wenyan's first good meal since crossing over, the first meal with meat. When he took a sip of the meat broth, he almost shed tears of excitement.
Jiang Wanting looked at Wen Yan with a wistful sigh: "You're the most beloved fourth sister in the General Mansion, yet after just a few days, you look like a beggar. Wen Yan, how long has it been since you've had a proper meal How long since you've smelled meat Is that black-faced, skinny old woman at your home mistreating you Come on, eat more. If that's not enough, I'll order another pot of mutton. Let's eat our fill and then go back. We'll strike while the iron is hot and tear down the General Mansion!"y about me, I'll go see her tomorrow. 。Just then, Mu Shi had already brought Ye Qingmei in. 。Hearing that Ye Wen had fallen ill, the mother and daughter immediately rushed over to see him. 。Ye Qingm...
