Chapter 324: Pian Returns
f her own courtyard but didn't bother with the kitchens in the other courtyards to the west. Therefore, the kitchen was still usable. 。Ye Qingmei took her maidservant to the big kitchen to get three..."What share do I have I don't understand what you're talking about." Ye Wang hummed coldly, ignoring Ye Wenyan, and walked forward to help the old lady. Xichun also ran after him, glancing at Ye Wenyan when she passed by without daring to look, even instinctively covering her head, as if afraid that Ye Wenyan would suddenly hit her.
This action made Ye Xing particularly depressed, but when he looked at Xiao Shi who was sitting still, he became even more depressed, "What are you doing just sitting there You watched Mother fall and just stared Xiao Shubi, have you ever grown up"
Xiao didn't pay him any mind, still sitting in her chair with almost no expression on her face. If it weren't for the blood still on her hands and the traces left on the floor, people would have almost thought that what had just happened had nothing to do with her.
Seeing Xiao shi remain unmoved, Tang shi, who was sitting beside her, came at her again: "Second daughter-in-law, at least pretend!"
"Shut your mouth!" Ye Jian was so annoyed with this Tang Shi, he had been annoying him ever since they met. In his mind, this person was like a dog-skin plaster, sticking on and refusing to come off. And what's worse, she loved to gossip and stir up trouble among family members. Most importantly, this woman had no shame. Even if you beat her ten times with big boards, the pain wouldn't even be over yet, and she would continue to cause chaos again.
Nightview roared, giving Old Mrs. Tang a fright. He continued, “Your mother fell beside you, but you didn’t even move an inch. You truly don’t deserve her kindness in keeping you in the household and treating you well.”
When Mrs. Tang was about to say something else, Xichun chided her, "Auntie, let's just keep quiet for a while. Don't you think our house is already chaotic enough"
Ye Wan's cold snort echoed through the room. "For someone so grown up, you still act like a child, coming to our home and pointing fingers!"
"The people of the Chiang family are all like that," Ye Wen said with a smile after hearing this.
The night view returns and the other person says: "Shut your mouth!"
Ye Wenyuan couldn't possibly listen to him! Not only did she not close her eyes, but she became even more agitated. She reminded Ye Jingsheng: "My words weren't finished just now. The second uncle rushed over to help the grandmother immediately. What does this mean Are you unwilling to listen or afraid to listen But it doesn't matter, whether you want to hear or not is your business, and whether I want to hear or not is my business. Just like right now, I see you standing with Xichun, how can my heart feel so uncomfortable Second Uncle, there's something I've never discussed deeply with you. How did my maid, Xichun, catch your eye How did she suddenly change from a maid beside me to your beloved concubine"
Intuition told Ye Jian that tonight, this great-niece was determined to cause trouble. He suddenly regretted coming; perhaps if he hadn't come, he could have avoided this disaster and not had to face Ye Wenyan head-on.
At this point, I couldn't help but glare at Xichun, scaring her so badly that she immediately ran to hide beside the old lady.
The old madam was finally helped up, but her body still trembled. With each sentence, Ye Wenyan picked out the most frightening words from her heart and spoke them aloud. What on earth was he trying to do Was this morning's court of filial piety now transformed into a courtroom for trials
Night View asked, "What are you trying to do"
Ye Wen stretched his hands and said, "What do you mean by 'what do I want to do' Uncle Two should ask what that Aunt on the side wants to do! People from the Jiang family came to our Ye family to show off their power, made my mother kneel as punishment, and kept lecturing us about the rules of the Jiang family. What does she want We were living well, minding our own business, but some people just had to stir things up. Since this has happened, let's talk it out properly. Anyway, we're all waiting for the plaque, so don't waste time."
She beckoned a servant to change the tea, then lifted the lid of the teacup one by one, leisurely: “The matter of administering medicine was just discussed with Grandmother, and there is no progress. Now that Uncle Second has arrived, let’s proceed to the next item, Xichun.”
The night view is really something else, he's out of his mind to come here.
Ye Wenyan raised an eyebrow, "How did Xichun become the second uncle's concubine I think this matter needs further discussion. After all, the second aunt has held control of the inner house for these years, and even wouldn't let you enter Liu's courtyard. How could she suddenly swallow her pride and agree to take in Xichun Alas, the second uncle really… The second aunt is so good to you, and the Xiao family has always been helpful to you, but as a result, you take a concubine just like that. How humiliated must the second aunt be No one else is standing up for her, so I, as your niece, have to."
She looked at Xiao Shi, "Second Aunt, rest assured, your niece will definitely seek justice for you. I want to see what unavoidable reason there is that would make Second Uncle, despite his pride, take a concubine from my maid's quarters. It's ridiculous, the lineage is all messed up, how could Second Uncle even bring himself to say such a thing"
The night scene was both ashamed and annoyed by her, but she didn't dare to get angry because Ye Wenyan's first sentence when he came on stage was that this matter needed to be discussed. And what he feared most was discussion, because he had his reasons for bringing Na Xichun.
But he could vent his anger on Xiao Shi, because Ye Wenyan clearly spoke for Xiao Shi. Since Xiao Shi was also rude to the old lady, he had reason to suspect that Xiao Shi had already sided with Ye Wenyan.
He scowled and glared fiercely at Xiao Shi, “You jealous woman! This alone is enough for me to divorce you!”
Xiao Shi, however, didn't seem to care. She wasn't like before, arguing with him or complying with his sweet words. She just smiled faintly and reminded Ye Jing Sheng: "Since you took Xi Chun in, you also have to keep me. There's no choice."
The night view filled my heart with a sudden feeling of being trapped on both sides.
At this time, there was movement in the courtyard again. It was Zhuier who came back with two servants. The two servants were working together to carry a plaque.
Upon entering the main hall, everyone saw two large characters gleaming on the plaque: Chiang's Residence.
Tang's head was buzzing. She couldn't figure out Ye Wenyan's plan at all. How could they just do something like this Were they really going to hang up the Jiang family's plaque Wouldn't that be considered forcefully taking over their residence That would be a serious crime!
She was flustered and turned to explain to the old lady, "Sister, I didn't mean it that way! How could your fourth young miss behave like this Is she trying to ruin me"
The old lady gave her a glance, but said nothing. Because she really didn't know what to do. This Lady Tang was truly too much trouble, always finding ways to cause her headaches.
Now that Ye Wen has brought things to this point and even suggested poisoning, and also silenced her second uncle, how can she smooth things over She can't utter a word right now because any words she says could backfire.
If the incident with the medicine ever came up again, would she still be alive
Seeing that Old Madam remained silent, Lady Tang finally knew she was in trouble. She wiped her tears and pleaded with Ye Wenyan, "Fourth Sister, please forgive me! I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have come to the Night Residence acting superior to elders, nor should I have gone against the rules of the Night Family and the Jiang Family. And…and I shouldn't have made my niece-in-law kneel down, nor should I have questioned you about whether or not you came back last night. In short, it was all my fault! Please forgive me! Just throw this plaque away, please don't hang it up!"
Ye Wen remained silent, but Zhuai spoke up: "Threw it away Just after making it That's such a waste! Whose silver isn't earned through hard work To just throw it away like that"
Tang instinctively wanted to lash out again, but Jun Tao reminded her, "Aunt, please hold your tongue."
She was about to retort, but swallowed her words again. She still asked Zhuier: "What are you going to do"
The maid rolled her eyes. “How would I know You’d have to ask my elder sister.”
Tang looked at Ye Wen, then thought for a moment and pleaded again: "Fourth Miss, my aunt truly knows she was wrong. Just now it was just an impulse. Please forgive me this time, alright" She then looked at Mu, "Nephew-in-law, you are a kind person with a generous heart, please don't be angry. Next time I really won't dare again. Quickly persuade the Fourth Miss, this plaque cannot be hung!"
Mu didn't pay any attention to her.
Tangshi again asked Yeqingmei: "Miss, could you say a few nice words to your aunt"
Ye Wen felt this person was truly bothersome. "Alright, stop asking for favors. Since the plaque isn't being hung, just settle the account with the craftsman. This silver shouldn't come from our Ye family."
"I'll go, I'll go," Tang immediately nodded.
The girl passed over a sheet of paper. "Urgent, it cost three hundred taels," she said.
"What" Mrs. Tang nearly jumped out of her chair, "Three hundred taels Did you hit a gold plaque"
"The little one replied, "There is indeed a bit of gold dust inside, because it needs to look dignified. It can't lower the face of the Jiang family. Auntie quickly give them the silver, after you give it I'll have them smash this plaque, guaranteeing no evidence remains."
Tang felt like she was about to faint. "How could I possibly have that much money If I had that much money, I wouldn't have come to the capital to beg from the Ye family, and I certainly wouldn't have been sent away by Jing Sheng's wife with just one hundred taels of silver."
"Oh, you can't afford it" Zhu'er waved her hand. "Well then, forget it! Let's just hang a plaque!"
"Don't hang up!" Mrs. Tang was really anxious now, "Wait, don't hang up, absolutely don't hang up, let me think about it."
Ye Wenyan sized up Mrs. Tang for a while and then spoke, "What else do you want How can you come up with silver Why don't I give my aunt an idea We can trade goods for silver, what do you think Look at the jewelry you have on your head, neck, and hands – they're worth almost three hundred taels. It doesn't matter if it's a little short. We're relatives, so I'll take a loss. What do you think, Aunt"
Mrs. Tang didn't mind, because the jewelry she was wearing were the best pieces her family owned. She wore them to put on a show. And together, these items were worth far more than three hundred taels, they were worth hundreds of thousands of taels! To use these to offset her debt would be a loss for her, wouldn't it
Seeing that she wasn't talking to him, Ye Wen understood, "She doesn't want to Then let's just hang up the plaque!"
"Don't hang up!" Mrs. Tang gritted her teeth, "Can I offer you the same The same is already enough."
"No, I want it all."
"Two."
"All."
"Three things."
"Jue'er, hang the plaque!" their ability to think critically and work together as a team. 。Although a country may be ruled by an emperor, imperial power is never the right of a single person. Between authoritarianism and decen...
