fuse her proposal tonight as well. 。The old lady, seeing that Mrs. Mu had finally looked over at her, thought she must want something 。After waiting for a long time, Mu still just sat there deliberat...As for the matter of Chiang Hsiu and the scholar back then, Tang Xiu actually had an idea in her heart. She knew, including that the scholar later went to Lin'an City and met Chiang Hsiu again, she knew a little about it. 。But she never expected that Jiang Xiu would be so bold as to give birth to the scholar's child and raise him in the home of a first-rank general. 。Although Night Wind had hinted at these things in his words during our last visit to Lin'an, who would have imagined so much Even if one guessed at the clues, who would dare believe it

The scholar then vanished, for several years no one knew where he went. 。She still thought the scholar had run away, but she never expected that the man not only didn't run, but was hiding right under her nose, working as the housekeeper in the Chiang family for so many years. 。Ye Wenyan hooked his fingers, signaling her to stop listening and follow him away. 。Tang shi felt a pang of reluctance; she wanted to hear more. These revelations were explosive for her, and she was particularly curious about Jiang Xiu and the steward's future plans. 。Now the steward questions whether the child is his own. What should Jiang Xiu do 。But Ye Wen told her to leave, and she didn't dare not to go, so she could only reluctantly leave. Even after walking out of the courtyard, she kept looking back inside several times. 。"Ye Wen saw the situation and smiled, saying to her, “After our old lady came back, Aunt Grandma didn't ask her why she was divorced”“How could she not have asked But she wouldn’t! It's just that Fourth Miss you are too domineering, and with your connection to God尊, so at home it is all up to you. You divorced her, so you had to divorce her." 。We thought so too, after all, your grandfather last time he went to Lin'an City, had a pretty unpleasant run-in with you. 。He also thinks you are arrogant and can't tolerate Jiang Xiu. 。But I always felt that there was something fishy going on here, because Jiang Xiu never showed any divorce papers. Unless the person who sent her back was her husband and she was divorced, she would definitely keep this a secret. It's just that she came back to visit relatives and stayed for a few days... 。She is the old lady of a first-rank general's mansion. With such a high status, could she be divorced just because Fourth Miss, even though you are the future empress, I can see that you are a filial child. Our two families are relatives, and we all know how much your grandfather valued you when he was alive. 。So you couldn't just divorce your grandfather's wife without a reason. 。"

Tan's analysis made sense. Ye Wen listened and smiled, "Just nobody thought that the reason for her dismissal would be like this Moreover, the divorce papers weren't written by me. It wasn't my idea to have her dismissed either. Everything was decided by the head of our Ye clan. I didn't play a crucial role in it; I just presented the facts." 。"

Mrs. Tang nodded, “You did the right thing. This kind of thing, no matter who it happens to, has to end this way.” 。Even the Ye family was too merciful. If it were our Jiang family... Humph, I would have killed such a person on the spot! She finished her sentence and suddenly realized that Ye Wenyan wasn't so merciful. The reason he spared Jiang Xiu's life must have been for some reason. 。She thought about it again and quickly understood, "Miss Fourth also discovered that the housekeeper was suspicious after coming here, right You kept Jiangxiu and let her come back, the purpose is to lure out the scholar from those years, I guess I'm right But that housekeeper Jiang Xian…"She couldn't understand more and more, "Miss Fourth, are you really sure you haven't mistaken someone He doesn't resemble that scholar at all! That man was in our house for decades, I have seen the scholar from back then. If he were under my nose, I wouldn't be able to fail to recognize him..." 。The steward looked nothing like the scholar. Could it be that Jiang Xiu had only hired one scholar" Ye Wenyan shook his head. "There should only have been that one scholar, and now the steward of Jiang's household is that same scholar." 。 “That’s not right!” Mrs. Tang still couldn’t believe it. "That scholar was very thin back then, pale and clean-looking. Our family steward was dark, fat, and had a big beard. He didn't look like a scholar at all." 。He's been to our place for decades, arriving as a young man. It was your grandpa... and so on!"

Mrs. Tang seemed to remember something, "This reminds me of something else..." 。The steward was brought back by your uncle, but there was already another steward at the mansion at the time. That steward had also served in the Jiang Mansion for over twenty years, he was an old servant of the Jiang Mansion and had never made any major mistakes. 。Your uncle's grandfather, without any reason, didn't need someone and just drove them away after giving them silver. He used this current person instead. 。The old butler shed tears when he left, kneeling in the courtyard and kowtowing to his master. He didn't even take the silver offered to him and just left. 。When the new manager first started, he couldn't do anything right and made many mistakes, but your grandfather still insisted on keeping him. 。At first, I couldn't understand why this was the case. But if you and he are actually the scholar who had an affair with Jiang Xiuhua back then, I would understand. 。When Tang arrived here, she let out a long sigh, "No wonder over the past few decades, Ye's family has given anything Night had asked for. Jiang Xiu's care for her natal family far exceeded what Ye's family should have provided to the Jiang family. We haven't seen such repayment even for life-saving graces or immense kindness." 。The Jiang family's prosperity today is entirely due to the Ye family's contributions. Every brick and tile in this mansion was built with the Ye family's silver. 。And the reason why the Chiang family got whatever they wanted from the Ye family was because it wasn't given by the Ye family at all, it was given by Chiang Hsiu. Chiang Hsiu had practically emptied the Ye family to support the Chiang family. This was because her brother Chiang Shuo kept that scholar firmly in his grasp. 。"Aunt Granny finally understands," Ye Wen said with a smile. 。As for why the butler doesn't look like the scholar from back then, it's actually quite understandable. 。People with fair skin can go tanning, skinny people can eat to gain weight, they can grow a beard and even purposely hunch their shoulders. 。Moreover, there's the art of disguise practiced in the Jianghu! In short, as long as he intends to change, no one would ever suspect that he lives under the noses of the Chiang family. 。This is called darkness under the lamplight, the most dangerous place, but also the safest. 。“

Tang took a deep breath. Today’s two things were truly one after another, making her upset >>> 。Compared to this, Chiang Hsiu's matter she was surprised besides, wasn't particularly concerned. 。She was unaware of this matter and wouldn't be held accountable even if Ye Wenyan decided to settle scores. 。As for her husband Jiang Shuo, well, she understood the principle that in times of great peril, people scatter and flee for their lives. Just like when she made a deal with Ye Wenyan before, she only asked him to protect her, her son Jiang Hang, and her grandson Jiang Yu. As for Jiang Shuo's other wives and concubines, as well as Jiang Hang's own family, those were all irrelevant to her. Whether they lived or died was simply not within her consideration. 。But now things have changed, it's not Ye Wenyan who wants Jiang Hang's life, it's Jiang Hang's death ten years ago that has come back to haunt him. 。If everything goes as Night Wenyan and that concubine planned, then Jiang Hang's head will surely be on the chopping block! "Fourth Miss " Let me know if you need anything else translated!。“As soon as I thought of this, Mrs. Tang almost cried, “The steward is still in the mansion, Miss Four, you can arrest him at any time and kill him however you want, we will never object a single word.” 。But please, Miss Fourth, can you spare Jiang Hang's life If what happened outside is true, Jiang Hang could be killed at any moment! Miss Fourth, I beg you, I only have this one son, he can't die! What happened ten years ago was our fault, we are willing to compensate the other party in any way they want, any amount of silver we will pay, just please let them spare the Jiang family. 。"Si Gu, you better come up with a solution! Show some affection!"

Ye Wenyan glanced at her sideways, "How am I supposed to show affection I don't even know who this person is! I spent the whole night looking for my own people and couldn't find them. Who am I supposed to be affectionate with Aunt, if you had known today would come, what were you thinking back then You actually committed such an infuriating act. You should have known there would be retribution sooner or later!" 。In this world, karma is a cycle with every link interconnected. What you do today will return to you, either today or tomorrow, or even ten years from now. 。"Can you hide"

"No, no I can't." 。“Tang trembled and stammered, admitting his mistake. 'We were blinded by greed back then and did something that went against our conscience. We drove that family to their deaths.'" 。Afterward, we also regretted it and beat Jiang Hang up, making him kneel in the ancestral hall for three days. 。But the mistake has been made, there's really no other way. 。The woman, without a shred of dignity left, relentlessly pressed charges against Chiang Hang, demanding he be sent to prison. She even went as far as wanting him to pay for her unborn child. 。We also had no choice but to resort to that last resort. 。Fourth Miss, no matter what, it was all our fault. You must help us with this, we're willing to compensate you in any way possible. 。" Ye Wen said coldly, without further paying attention to Tang. 。The entire Chiang family is morally corrupt. Even ten years after the massacre, they still try to compensate with money. 。Even if you gave them all the money in the world, it wouldn't help. Their whole family is about to be wiped out. Besides, the survivor who came back for revenge must be skilled enough to escape the notice of both Ji Nu and Yun Xiao. They are obviously a master. 。Have you ever seen a master who was short of money The Jiang family's money, whenever someone wanted it, they could just climb over the wall at night and empty the Jiang family! People who don't need money, all they want is life. The Jiang family deserved to pay for their lives, why should she help Seeing Ye Wenyan remain silent, Mrs. Tang's heart grew colder and colder. 。Until Ye Wenyan walked back to her own courtyard, she instinctively wanted to follow, but she was quickly stopped by Ji Rong: "Mrs. Jiang, please go back!" Tang Shi had no choice but to stand still, and called out to Ye Wenyan twice more. Seeing that the other party still didn't respond, she could only leave. 。Feng Zhaolian was the first to come forward, a bright red mass arriving before her. Even in the gloom, it was enough to lift one's spirits. 。"A-Yan, how are things Has everyone left"Ye Wenyan nodded. "I had Ji Du and Yun Xiao send that concubine out of the manor and the county. The matter of the murder in Xiushan County is also nearly solved." 。The last step is to check the records at the county government office and verify the events of that year again. 。If all this is true, then the Xiushan County Government also needs to take responsibility. 。“She’s done, she turned her head and asked Feng Zhaolian, “What do you think, who is right and who is wrong in this matter”ht Family Fifth Sister was pretty good, and the way she called him "brother-in-law" made him feel good. He immediately took out a silver note and handed it to Ye Chulian. 。He replied matter-of-factly,...
