Chapter 337: Either He Dies or I Do

myself, and the injuries that Ye Wen cured this afternoon and evening, listening to the fact that many people are still tirelessly praising Sister Four's miraculous medical skills... 。He then unders...Ye Chu's joy, Ye Wen could understand very well.

The eldest sister within the vast courtyard spent her days with little to do. She'd embroider, feed the fish, or engage in subtle rivalries with her sisters. 。If none of these appeal to you, then life is truly a bore. 。Ye Chu'lian was a girl with a very clear goal. Although the future was still uncertain, at least she knew that she absolutely couldn't let her family arrange her life anymore. 。So she has to find her own way, find support, and prepare for her future. 。And what about Ye Wen's nightly words She didn't care who she leaned on, as long as the other person was sincere, then she had no problem lending a shoulder to lean on. 。Humans are social animals and it is impossible for them to survive independently. Even she, she would like to have good friends around her and sisters who can confide in each other. 。Only then does it feel like the world, and she won't feel isolated in this world. 。She comforted Ye Chu Lian: "Don't worry first, whether it's the place or the silver, I will prepare it for you." 。But since I'm going out to do things, this matter at home still needs to be dealt with. 。So we still need to figure out a way to get Uncle Er to allow you to go out often. 。"

Night Chu Lian listened to this and became a little dejected, "I haven't been out less these days either, but I've all been under the banner of Sister Si..." 。Besides, with so many things going on at home, my father and stepmother couldn't spare much time for me, which gave me a chance to slip away. 。But if you want to make wine, you might have to go out often, and eventually be discovered. 。This really needs some serious thought, and absolutely no way Father can find out I'm doing things for Fourth Sister. 。"Ye Chu Lian was very cautious. “That man is both greedy and wicked, who knows what tricks he might come up with." 。"No rush, it will take a few more days for the clinic to be finished. When these family matters are settled, we can free up some time to plan properly." 。Don't worry, as long as you are willing to think, there will always be a way. 。After being tricked by Ye Wen and Zhuier, Tang shi turned around and started to scheme against the old mistress. 。She held a tray of refreshments and sat beside the elderly woman's bedside, constantly talking about things from her time in Xiushan County. 。She said, "Do you remember when we were young Back then, none of us were married. I always said that if I was going to get married, I'd marry someone respectable, someone with status. Not for anything else, just so my parents could hold their heads high walking around in Xiushan County." 。You just, in Xiushan County is boring, women have to marry up, Beiqi's highest place is the capital, you must marry to the capital. 。Now that we've come this far, our wishes have all been fulfilled. You're married into the capital city, and I'm married into your Chiang family. You've definitely had a high-ranking marriage, and our family has also gained some standing in Xiushan County. 。You're living the good life, everything seems to be going so smoothly. 。"

Elder Madam lay on her bed and hummed two sounds, displeasure evident in her voice: “Peace of mind You look at me like this, is this peace of mind”

“Then you’re angry with the children. I worry about them when I get back home too! These are just things, the most important thing is still that a good man…”

"Although your brother-in-law is gone, at least he gave you a good life while he was here, didn't make you suffer. That's enough!"

The old lady was still unwilling, "What do you mean by not suffering Having good food and clothes means you don't suffer You really... people from the countryside are short-sighted, they just know how to stick to their own three points of land, with limited vision..."

How could he have spared me any hardship Do you know how I've gotten through these years While he was out fighting wars, I was the only one managing everything at home. That's understandable, after all, every family has a woman running things. 。But he was unfaithful even outside the home, raising a concubine for himself and having a child with her! When he returned from war, he brought the concubine back home. Wasn't this deliberately humiliating me” Mrs. Tang knew about this. It happened one year when the old general returned to court with his army. A woman accompanied him, carrying an infant who was less than a year old. 。After the incident, the old lady was furious and started throwing things at her relatives. She constantly berated the old general for being worthless and called the woman a wretch, claiming their child was illegitimate. 。But..."You didn't even let the two of them in! The child didn't live long either, did he""Hmph! This is my house. Why should I let someone with an unknown background in That old man has the ability to keep her outside his life and bring her back to the capital just to make things difficult for me He doesn't even care about marital feelings anymore, so why can't I fight back""So the child died at your hands""Yeah, poisoned. That woman was also pushed into the icy lake by my people." 。The old lady wasn't at all discreet about this matter. After all, the old general was dead, so even if the truth came out, no one would investigate it. 。 Tang Shi listened to this and pondered for a while, then asked, "Is that the reason you hate your brother-in-law" The old lady frowned, "That's not it either. I don't hate him, it's just that life is getting more and more boring..." 。He is often away from home, sometimes returning once a year, sometimes every two years, and sometimes not even for three years. 。Later, when he had grandchildren and was older, he returned to being diligent. 。What use is there in coming back then My spirit isn't what it used to be. With him or without him, life goes on the same way. Having him around just feels awkward, it's better to be alone. 。"The old lady recalled past events, becoming more and more agitated. Finally, she waved her hand dismissively, "That's enough, that's enough. You don't understand..." 。" I don't understand, so sister, just come with me, let's have fun. " 。"Tang continued, weaving her words together, “When you were in Xiushan before, you told me everything that happened.” 。" That's different. 。"The old lady shook her head. 'Some things, knowing too much wouldn't be good for you.'" 。"

Tang listened to this and laughed, “Look at what you’re saying, how could it be that I know too much, and someone wants to silence me What kind of thing would be worth going through all this trouble for Could your brother-in-law have been killed by you”

She suddenly covered her mouth here, a look of terror in her eyes. It took her half a lifetime before she regained her voice, trembling and asking the old Madam: “When the fourth young lady suddenly brought up the matter of adding poison to medicine, and asked if this was the rule of the Jiang family, I didn't understand at the time>>> 。But today I see it, they poured your medicine under the big tree. Could this be her revenge Sister Xiu, doesn't her pouring out medicine refer to you pouring out your brother-in-law's medicine You poured out your brother-in-law's medicine so he had no medicine to take, so your brother-in-law died My Sister Xiu, could this really be true"

These words were half to get the truth from the old lady, and half were what Tang Shi deduced while gossiping.

After the deduction, even Tang himself was startled. The fear was no longer feigned, but genuine and real. 。If her deduction is correct, then Old Madam Jiang Xiu committed the heinous crime of murdering her husband. The problem is that her husband was a high-ranking general in the Northern Qi state. This isn't just a family matter; it's a national one. 。This is a matter that will implicate nine clans. Once this gets exposed, unless she divorces Jiang Shuohe, there's no way she can escape. 。Tang was preoccupied, her face wasn't looking so good. 。The old lady was already immersed in hatred and didn't notice any of this at all. 。When Tang asked her, she let out a cold laugh. She laughed for a long time, neither admitting nor denying it, just repeating over and over: "Either he dies or I die, either he dies or I die! I cannot die, I still have Jing Sheng, I still need to take care of my son" 。“None of us can die, only he remains!”

Lady Tang had nothing more to ask, for the old matriarch was like a madman, repeating these words over and over.

She stepped out of the house and immediately saw Old Madam Ji guarding outside. 。

Tang thought that Granny would immediately take her away to question her, but Granny ignored her completely and only went into the room to see the old Madam.

Tang quickly ran back to the guest house, her mind racing as she tried to figure out what to do. How could she protect herself 。After much deliberation, I realized that there was only one option left: divorce. Or perhaps, to survive, I should simply let Chiang Shuo annul our marriage. 。Even if one's face is lost, as long as they can survive, that's all that matters. 。As for the night temperature's promise to let her into the palace, she felt it was better not to accept this favor. Instead, she might as well exchange this favor for another. 。She would not enter the palace, nor would she accept the emperor's rewards. She only sought Ye Wenyan's protection to save her life. 。As long as she can keep her alive, that's enough. As for her son and grandson, she can no longer afford to care about them. After all, they are all members of the Chiang family. This is their fate!Tang thought it through, then hurried away from the guest house to find Ye Wenyan, telling her everything she had said to the old lady. 。Then she pleaded desperately, "Fourth Miss, please spare my life! I can't die with the Jiang family!" Ye Wenyan asked her, "Are you sure that my grandfather died at the hands of the old madam""What else could it be" Mrs. Tang stomped her foot, "Fourth Miss, let's just speak plainly. You know in your heart what really happened, otherwise, you wouldn't have poured out all her medicine..." 。You are a heartless person, risking your reputation as an unfilial child to do these things. Who could possibly do this without a deep grudge Fourth Miss, you're a perceptive woman. The circumstances surrounding your grandfather's death are already very clear. 。"It's very clear, the person definitely died at her hands." 。But there are two points I still don't understand. 。" "What are the two points" "First, why did she do this Second, I absolutely don't believe someone can die without taking medicine." 。My grandfather was strong and healthy. He was a martial artist, so his physique was excellent. 。Even if you don't take medicine, you can still get through it. 。Even if it's a serious illness, it shouldn't be this fast. 。So there must still be something going on here, and those things are what I hope Aunt Grandma can help me find out. 。" I... I asked so many questions and it's still not enough" Yè Wēn Yán shook his head. "Not enough, or perhaps you haven't asked the right questions." 。My relationship with that child has been common knowledge in our household for some time now, and even those of us of a certain generation are aware of it. 。So these things, to me, don't hold much value. 。I want my aunt to ask some things I don't know, preferably about the key factors leading to my grandfather's death. 。No rush, take it slow. If one doesn't work, try two. If two doesn't work, try ten. Anyway, your aunt lives in the mansion, so just go keep her company. 。“estial Emperor, and they become increasingly smooth to use.” 。Feng Zhaolian chuckled beside her, hearing this. Learning magic from the Emperor Ayan was really good at making excuses. 。"Where did you g...
