Chapter 533 How Could I Count My Words as Binding

mother is like yours, both are concubines. 。But you give me your eyes wide open! This is the residence of a first-rank general, not your Yu family! Even if she is a concubine, she is a concubine of th...To secure the nation and protect its people, generations of military officers in his family fought valiantly and conquered half of Northern Qi's territory. 。Xiao Shubi said: “Actually, life on the border is very difficult. At least your second uncle couldn't stand it.” 。That year, he also wanted to go to the battlefield, so he went to the border to find his older brother. 。I had Jinshiu follow him, serving him closely. The intention was for him to at least manage to secure a victory at the border. 。Even if you just run to the battlefield with the squad and come back, it's something you can say. 。A house doesn't raise a general who doesn't go to war, he always stays in the capital and becomes useless. 。But he still didn't hold on, only staying at the border for less than half a month before running back. 。He didn't even keep the best for himself, just in case I came back and scolded him again for sleeping around. He never fights with them, he’s a useless piece of junk. 。But that trip wasn't in vain either. Jinxiu discovered a secret about the General. 。Xiao Shubi laughed as he said this, “Everyone says that General Ye is an upright man and deeply in love with Madam Mu.” 。Over all these years, he never took a concubine, nor did he accept a mistress, showering all his love and affection on his only wife. 。That's something outsiders don't know, because those who say that haven't been to the border. 。Jinxiu came back and told me that the General had actually kept a mistress at the border. She was very young, quite delicate, and an excellent dancer. 。The general kept her in a place not far from the main camp and ordered those around him to keep it a secret. 。That young woman gave birth to a son for the general. He was a boy, plump and fair, very lovely. 。When Jinxiu was seen, she was already two or three years old, spending her days by the side of that young lady. 。 How was this discovered It happened one time when Jinxiu went out in the middle of the night to buy your uncle some wine. As she passed a courtyard, that young woman was holding a child and arguing with your father at the door 。It seems your father truly dotes on that young lady. He could actually stay in the capital for longer each year when he returns to Kyoto, but for her sake, he always makes quick trips back and forth, giving up the time he could spend with your mother. 。But he refused to bring that young woman back to the capital, refusing to let her and her child acknowledge their ancestry, fearing your mother's heartache. 。For this, the young lady went crazy and argued with him. He held her and soothed her until he calmed her down, and only then did they return to the manor. 。Xiao Shubei said this, and asked Ye Wenyan a question: "Very disappointed Your father is not as good as you imagined" 。This matter indeed surprised Ye Wenyan. After all, in the original owner's memories and in others' accounts, General Ye and Madam Ye had always been very affectionate. 。Even though I am often away, every time I return to Beijing, I will try my best to spend as much time as possible with my wife. 。They had so many children together, they clearly were a loving couple. 。To say I was disappointed, yet there wasn't much to be disappointed about, after all, they weren't her parents. She arrived in this world, and she didn't even get to see the face of that general. 。Besides, the practice of having three wives and four concubines among ancients wasn't anything new. 。A couple who has always lived together, each with a concubine on one side, let alone those who have been separated for years. 。 She just couldn't understand. That general clearly hadn't committed to a lifelong monogamous relationship, so why did he insist on portraying himself as deeply in love In this era, taking concubines was perfectly reasonable and legal. Why was he being so secretive about it Was he afraid of hurting his wife If he was afraid of hurting her feelings, wouldn't it be simpler to just not have a concubine He had taken a concubine and even had children with her, so what happened afterwards She asked Xiao Sh beyaz, "What happened afterwards" Xiao Sh beyaz said, “The events that followed are what I had my people investigate..." 。That little woman was just like Chang Xueqiao, determined to enter the Night Mansion. When your father refused to let her return, she wouldn't give up. She took her child and secretly ran towards Lin'an. 。Then the child fell ill and died halfway, and she herself became insane as a result. Your father felt indebted to her, and after that, he returned to the capital less often, always staying at the border to accompany her. 。By the way, the two of them later had another child, but unfortunately, it miscarried before full term. 。You could recall that in recent years, your father visited Beijing less frequently. Even when he did come back, he no longer stayed with your mother as often as before. Instead, he would spend only a short time at home before heading to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing. 。Don't think he is really busy with official duties, he just favors that young lady more in his heart. 。There are debts, but also true love. 。Moreover, since he had spent more time at the border than in Beijing, and was always accompanied by that young woman every day, over time he came to treat her as his wife. To him, his wife back home and their children were more like distant relatives. 。“Xiao Shubi said here, a sneer crept up her lips, “Men are all the same. Once they have a young and pretty one, they forget about their wives at home.” 。He had forgotten about his four children at home just because someone else gave birth to one for him. 。" Night Wenyan ignored her feelings and simply asked, "What happened later Where is that young lady now" This question made Xiao Sh beyaz shake his head, "I don't know" 。Your father last returned to Beijing, he died at home. After so many things happened, I didn't have the energy to find out about that person. 。You just mentioned that I told Mu Qianqiu about this, and you are right, I did. I told her everything I knew, in detail. 。Mu Qianqiu was greatly struck at the time and neglected your father, which gave us an opportunity. 。"

Having said all that, she had nothing more to hide. She confessed everything: “Your father died from poisoning, not a serious illness. The poison was administered by me and your second uncle. We put it in his medicine, but Xi Chun fed it to him.” 。This is also why Xichun was able to be taken in by your second uncle. I had to swallow my anger and accept it, because she threatened us with this. 。We stand by what we do, but there's one thing that's strange, it really wasn't us. I'm saying it out loud, you can ponder it. 。"Your father has always been in good health. Although he spends most of his time fighting outside, he is skilled and knowledgeable in military strategy. He has hardly ever lost a battle, not even those where the enemy inflicted a thousand casualties while we suffered eight hundred. So, he doesn't have many injuries on his body." 。Why would a skilled general, without any serious old injuries, suddenly fall ill If he were healthy, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to poison him. 。So you can think about it again, how did this illness get 。"Having said all this, she took a deep breath, “Ye Wenyan, I've said everything I had to say. When will you deliver on your promise” Ye Wenyan’s indifferent gaze swept over her, “I know why he fell ill. He was driven sick by the old Madam.” 。Second Aunt, did you know what Grandmother did Not only did she anger Grandfather to death, but also made my father sick and die. Also, both of us are her biological sons, why would she allow you two to kill my father Second Aunt, don't you think there's something strange going on here”

Xiao Sh beyaz was taken aback by her question, then after thinking about it, he nodded, "It is strange. Back then, I and your second uncle also discussed this issue, but we just couldn't figure it out>>> 。Your second uncle asked the old madam, but she refused to say. 。We thought she simply disliked the big boss, just as the old general simply disliked the second son. 。"There are so many things in this world that aren't as simple as they seem. Since it happened, it couldn't have been so simple." 。You just asked me when I will cash in my chips, so let me tell you what this so-called simplicity is all about, and then you can decide if you still want me to cash them in. 。 She crossed her legs, adjusting herself into a comfortable position. While playing with the bells on her wrist, she told Xiao Shubei, "Auntie Er probably doesn't know yet I've already driven Second Uncle and his family out. Whether it's Chang Xueqiao or Ye Wushuang, one by one, all of them have been sent to a small temple outside the city." 。Xiao Shǔbái heard this and frowned, “Was it because the old madam sent away your mother I heard that Mu Qiānqiū was sent away because she ruined your engagement” 。"So you're seeking revenge for your mother"

Ye Wenyan shook his head. "Not exactly revenge..."

My mother wants to go outside the city for a few days of quiet. That's nothing, it's not like we have any feud or anything. 。The reason we sent the family from the second house away was because they weren't real members of the Ye family at all. 。Those who are not members of the night family cannot sleep in the night family's rooms nor eat the night family's food. 。We've raised him in our family for so many years. Even if we can't get back the interest, we have to at least get our initial investment back. 。So his days of suffering are still ahead, this is just the beginning. 。" He was completely dumbfounded, "He's not from the Ye family How is that possible, he's clearly the old madam's biological son!" "That's right, he is the old madam's biological son, unfortunately, he wasn't born to my grandfather." 。"

Ye Wen stood up, looking down at Xiao Shuangbai: "I didn't expect it Actually, you're right. This General's Mansion, everyone has secrets" 。The old madam had given birth to a bastard son decades ago, secretly. 。My grandfather bore grudges against the Chiang family out of a sense of obligation, swallowing his anger and enduring for many years. 。In the end, it was my father who discovered the secret and became so angry that he fell ill. 。The old lady told my grandfather that her second son, my father, was going to poison me. My grandfather died of anger, and my father was poisoned by you. 。This is the whole story, this is why Old Madam allowed you to kill her eldest son. 。She wanted to save face. After being caught by her son doing such a thing, she wished that the son whom she never cared for would die. That way, no one would look down on her and no one would know about this secret anymore. 。But after all, she didn't count on me. 。"Ye Wenyan hooked his lips, a wicked smile spreading across his face. "Xiao Shubi, are you still expecting me to keep my promise What sweet dreams do you have" She turned her body and shouted towards the door, “Zhuier!” The door was immediately pushed open, and Zhuier and Jinshu walked in together. 。"Take Second Madam to the temple, so she can reunite with her husband and family!" Xiao Shubi panicked - "No, you can't do that! Ye Wenyan, I told you so many things, you promised to return Hongzhuang to me, you can't go back on your word!" Ye Wenyan laughed, "My dear Second Aunt! As a witch, how could my words possibly count!" home, one could buy land and even build a grand three-entry courtyard house, more comfortable than living in Lin'an. 。If the master wants to set up a shop, it's better to take down these two first.
