Chapter 332: A-Yan, Don't Be Careless

down how many grains of rice were in a bowl of porridge.Those with shallow eye sockets watched and cried, saying, “How awfully miserable Sister Four must have spent this night!”Someone else said, "Pe...On the fifteenth of February, Ye Wen's night temperature temporarily lost its power, so the contest with the trees was left to Shi Liyuan. 。The Emperor respected his duty, he stood in Fulu Courtyard for half an hour and successfully scared the old lady into getting sick. 。Actually, according to common sense, the old lady would definitely fall ill in the end, and then suffer a mental breakdown. 。After all, it was Ye Wen who came up with this idea. He wanted to wait until she broke down mentally on her own before he could extract any valuable information from her. 。But these days, it seems the old lady has become more and more defiant, there's no way she could have gotten sick this quickly. 。No matter how impossible, in front of the mighty Emperor Zun, it would become possible. 。After all, the mighty Emperor wouldn't have the patience to wait for housewives to chop down trees, then break off branches, and then chop them into pieces before stacking them in the courtyard. 。He felt that this series of operations took too long. 。He still had to go back and guard their home, Ah-Yan. Where would he have the time to play house with a group of old ladies So the Almighty Emperor took matters into his own hands, directly pulling up that tree by its roots. With a bang, he slammed it on the doorstep of the old lady's room, snapping the branches and chopping them into pieces. 。The whole operation was quick and efficient, taking just a few breaths. 。The old lady heard the noise and ran outside. When she saw what was happening, her eyes widened in astonishment. 。This tree hasn't been cut down yet, how did it fall on its own The old women haven't made a move yet, how did it become a piece of wood on its own She fainted from fright, and Jun Tao fainted too, and those old women fainted as well. 。When I woke up again, the tree was still standing in its original place. There was still mud at the entrance of my house, brought out when the tree was uprooted. 。Now, the old lady couldn't take it anymore. She started to suspect that there really were ghosts in the courtyard, even thinking that the deceased General Ye had come back to life to seek revenge on her. 。Those who have done wrong deeds are afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. The old lady was finally scared sick. 。Not only is she sick, but Jun Tao is sick too. 。After all, the guilty deed was committed by both of them. Even the ghost would not seek only to punish Old Madam. 。When Shi Liyuan told Ye Wen these things, there was a look of disdain in his eyes. 。He asked Yè Wēn: "You don't seem to be the kind of person who is indecisive. Why are you so gentle when facing these matters concerning your family According to me, just directly search their souls. After searching, simply slap them dead." 。Such a person deserves to die, there's nothing worth considering about their feelings. 。" No, I have to make sure they are awake when they confess. That's the only way to get the truth out." 。Such a person, even if they wanted to kill, couldn't do it secretly. That would be too unfair to the deceased. 。Their crimes must be exposed to the public, only then will I have fulfilled Night Sister's request, and only then can this body of mine return to a normal human temperature. 。Shi Liyuan no longer looked at her, only reaching out to gently touch her head. 。Although Mingming was in a daze, his forehead and cheeks were cold, like a corpse. 。He felt truly sorry for them, “Then let’s investigate slowly. Both generals from the Ye family died without a clear cause. Finding out the truth will be an explanation to the people below.” 。It's just that you have to be careful, they can kill one or two, and it doesn't matter if they kill a third. The General's Mansion is like a dragon's lair, everyone isn't as simple as they appear on the surface. 。I know you always keep your plans with Lady Ji by your side, afraid that when you're away they will seize the family property. So I have sent both Ji Duo and Ji Rong to you as well. 。You have to promise me, no matter where we go, those two people must stay by your side. Don't always bring that maidservant who doesn't know martial arts. If something really happens, she can't protect you. 。"

Ye Wen listened and smiled, "Apart from the 15th of every month, I don't usually need anyone to protect me>>> 。Don't be careless. 。He reminded her, “People's hearts are hidden. Not everyone can be easily trusted.” 。"Who exactly are you looking for" she heard the implication in his words, "It seems like someone around me is the problem"Shi Lifen stared at her for a moment, letting out a soft sigh, "It's not that there's a problem now, but rather one that will arise in the future..." 。When someone's interests clash, if you don't invest too much emotion, then you won't be too heartbroken when family members drift apart. 。Ayan, actually I've always been against you and your family openly revealing your identities because once you do, to them, you'll already be an outsider. 。They even wonder, if you hadn't come, Night Fourth Sister might not have died. 。She opened her eyes and looked at him, “Could it be like that” Then she smiled wryly, “I’ve thought about these things too, but it doesn’t matter. It’s a kind of attitude. While they treat me as an outsider, to them, I am already an outsider as well.” 。Don't worry, when that time comes, I'll leave gracefully, without any hesitation. 。She slept soundly through the past, Shi Lifen guarding by her side, enduring her grasping at his sleeve until dawn. 。Although the crowd dispersed, he remained seated. He simply shifted his posture, leaning back against the cushion, allowing the girl's soft cheeks to press against his side. He gently stroked her hair with one hand and summoned Nanny Ma using telepathy. 。

Grandma Ji was startled when she suddenly received the transmission. She rushed in only to find that Your Imperial Majesty was indeed on Fourth Sister's bed

Grandma Ji smiled kindly, her lips pursed into a gentle curve. She told Shi Liyuan, "The message from Fulu Courtyard is that the old mistress is ill. Morning and evening visits can continue to be excused." 。The Empyrean can spend more time with the fourth sister, there are old slaves guarding outside, ensuring everything is safe. 。" Shi Li glanced at the woman and nodded, reminding her: "If it's not necessary, don't let anyone in." 。" Grandma Ji received the order and retreated, successfully blocking everyone including Zhuai’er and Xiangdong outside the door. "

The reason is: "My sister has something to do in the locked room and doesn't want to be disturbed by anyone." 。"

Zhai’er and Xiangdong naturally knew that there were two more floors underground in this courtyard, so they didn't doubt it. They even guarded the house with Jima together until late at night. Finally, Ye Wenyan opened the door at midnight. 。Grandma still smiled kindly, and Zhuai kept winking at her playfully. Only Xiangdong didn't understand what was going on, thinking that her older sister had just been busy all day. She quickly asked if she was hungry, saying that the food was warming on the stove and could be served right away. 。Ye Wen also wasn't polite, he ate the meal well and then dismissed everyone to go to sleep. He himself went for a stroll in Fulu Courtyard again. 。Old Madam and Jun Tao were both frightened out of their wits, the midwives also abandoned cutting down the trees. When Ye Wen arrived at night, he just heard two midwives on duty talking. 。One of the thinner ones said: "Instead of moving the yard, it's better to invite a high monk to perform a ceremony and solve the problem from the root." 。

Is haunting something you can avoid just by moving to a different yard That ghost was originally someone from the General's Mansion, and he was even the master. There is no place in this mansion that he cannot go. So I thought about it, tomorrow I still have to persuade the old madam, doing rituals is the right thing to do.

"Making offerings requires quite a bit of money, doesn't it The mistress is not well off. The master in the household is also rather tight-fisted, and the second madam would never contribute any silver." 。"How is this done" The skinny woman sighed, "How could the once glorious General's Mansion become like this How did it fall so quickly after both the Old General and the Young General left""Hmph, get up. It's all because of that Fourth Sister! If it weren't for her, the General's Mansion would still be its former self." 。" Maybe not!" the thin woman sighed again, "Even without Fourth Sister, there wouldn't be any silver in the family anyway." 。The Ye family's silver is almost being drained by the Jiang family. Who knows which old madam will ask for it next If we don't have any more silver, how can we support all of us 。" Then let's go. " 。“The plump woman wasn’t sentimental at all. ‘We aren’t death soldiers, not even bodyguards,’ she said. ‘We just take from people, cause them harm, and help them avoid disasters. At best, we're just thugs.’ ” 。If Old Madam Ye cannot afford the silver, then the employment relationship would be considered over. 。Then we'll just go our separate ways, with no hard feelings. 。"You really think you can walk out of General Yi's Mansion" The thin woman wasn't optimistic. "We've served the old mistress for over thirty years, knowing too much and doing too many things. How could she let us go so easily" 。"We know what" The fat woman laughed, "What we know are trivial things, such as how the old madam colluded with the second madam to have the third sister take the place of the fourth sister…" 。For example, the elderly madam had arranged for three concubines of the old general over the past thirty years, one of whom even became pregnant. 。These things don't sound good, but now that I think about it, do you really think they matter They don't really. Even if you go out, there's nothing... >>> 。“ The skinny woman thought about it for a moment and nodded, “You make sense. The real secret is something none of us have ever touched.” 。For example, why chop down trees An act we find utterly absurd, but the old lady insists on it for so long. 。There's definitely something going on here, something that absolutely can't be known by others. 。I hear you. If any old lady can't come up with the silver, we leave. 。"

Night Wen was a little disappointed. She had thought that these old women would at least know something, but she didn't expect the old lady to keep it so well hidden. " 。It seems that apart from Old Madam herself, only Jun Tao knows the truth. 。Ye Wen returned, slept soundly through the night, and the next morning summoned Ye Qingmei and Ye Chulian under the pretext of visiting their grandmother. They all went to Fulu Courtyard together. 。Because the elderly madam fainted suddenly and didn't leave any words, and Jun Tao was also sick, so no one in the courtyard dared to stop them. 。Moreover, Ye Wen said: "We are related by blood. Naturally, we have to come and visit our grandmother when she is ill. And it's not just a visit; from today on, we will take turns staying here to attend to her until she recovers." 。"

According to age, the first one left was Ye Qingmei. " 。The usually most obedient and well-behaved eldest daughter of the Ye family has now changed her temper. Not only is she no longer obedient, but she also had her maidservant Ruizhu bring the medicine boiled by the servants of Fulu Courtyard to the courtyard and pour it out under that chopped tree. 。The servant girl of Fu Lu Courtyard was dumbfounded. Sister, isn't she crazyas a bad temper. Don't be fooled by her seemingly virtuous and obedient demeanor as the mistress of the house; it's all an act. If he were to leave home to make a name for himself, Mu Qianqiu would un...
