Chapter 194 Who has ever heard of letting the devil save all living beings?
During these days in the outer city, Ye Chulian and Ji Duo and Ji Rong were already acquainted, so she was not at all reluctant or afraid when Ji Rong sent her to the palace, and just followed her obediently. Even if it was dark and the door of the mansion was locked, she believed that Ji Rong would be able to take her out.
Sui Xi was unable to go with them, but she also had her own mission. Ye Wenyan asked her to tell her aunt Liu not to make her worry.
After everyone left, Ye Wenyan took Nanny Ji and turned around, heading west back to their own courtyard.
Nanny Ji said to her, "The Emperor seems to get along better with Miss Zhuier, and I heard that Miss Fifth also likes the Fourth Prince."
Ye Wenyan laughed, "Madam, who told you this?" Madam Ji replied, "When the young lady was in the outer city, Eunuch Wu came and Lord Yun also came. They didn't say what they wanted, they just came to sit and drink a cup of tea. I think the two of them are probably afraid that the young lady is not at home and the old lady will embarrass our West Courtyard! I was sent here by me, and I heard Eunuch Wu mention it. Of course, he said it as a joke."
She nodded, "These are all favors. I have to remember that I will have to repay them in the future. As for who they like more and who can talk to whom better, that's their business. I don't have any deeper meaning when I ask someone to help someone. I just want to help. Zhuier is more familiar with Quan Qingcheng, but she is just a maid after all. I may not value her status, but that doesn't mean that everyone doesn't value her. I can't make Queen Mother Yu feel uncomfortable, and I don't want to give Zhuier too many privileges. She has only been with me for a little over a month, and she is going to rise to the top in one step. The little girl is still young, so we have to be careful. It will be bad if she becomes arrogant."
As she spoke, she pondered, "As for Chu Lian, I didn't have much contact with this concubine sister before, and I didn't even know her preferences. But she has been helping me in the outer city these days, and I can see that she is an ambitious girl. She has not gone astray because of being suppressed by the mansion for many years, and her mind is not extreme, which is rare. Now that she is willing to get close to me, I have no reason to push her away. I will help her if I can. As for who she meets and what she says after entering the palace, that is her own fate."
Madam Ji was stunned. "Didn't Miss really only let Miss Five to help the Emperor?"
She smiled, "Of course not. I heard from Princess Guiyue that the princes and their highnesses have been discussing matters in the palace these days and have also been staying in the palace at night. Just as you said, Chu Lian likes the Fourth Prince, so if the two are destined to meet, they will meet in the palace. As for what they say after they meet, that is her own business. Although I don't think highly of them, who can tell what fate is? Or let her hit a wall once, then she will naturally turn back."
Madam Ji sighed: "It's great to have a sister like Miss, and it's also great to have a master like her."
She said with a smile: "The master of the Ji family is also good."
As they were talking, they saw Zhuier running over from the side road in a hurry. When he saw her, he said, "I finally found the young lady. Young lady, go to the front yard and take a look. The parents of the man who caused trouble during the day have come to visit."
Ye Wenyan didn't react for a moment, "Who is the troublemaker?" There were too many people causing trouble during the day.
Zhuier told her, "It was the son of the fifth-rank official. The young lady also pointed out that he had an injury on his arm. Just now, the concierge came to report that the fifth-rank official and his wife knelt directly at the door of our house, saying that they would not get up unless the fourth young lady treated his son." Zhuier described the facts angrily and expressed her own feelings - "How shameless."
Ye Wenyan also felt that it was too shameless and wanted to ignore it, but since they had come to the mansion to make trouble and blocked the gate, it was not the right thing to do. So he had no choice but to take Zhuier and Madam Ji to the front yard.
When she arrived at the front yard, many people had already arrived before her. She saw Ye Feiyu saying to the couple kneeling outside the door: "My lord, if you really have something to ask, please come in and talk to me. Kneeling at the door of the mansion like this will not solve the problem, and it will embarrass yourself for nothing. Why bother?"
The fifth-rank official looked about 40 years old and was very thin, like a bamboo pole. On the other hand, his wife, who was kneeling beside him, was very fat, and her eyes were almost squeezed out by the fat on her face. The master was also short, and his wife was half a head taller than him when she was kneeling. A couple like this kneeling at the door of the mansion, if you know it, you will think they are asking for help, but if you don’t know it, you will think that the wife is carrying a monkey.
Ye Feiyu's words were refuted by the official, who said, "I am not afraid of embarrassment, I just ask Miss Fourth Ye to save my son. We will not go in, we will kneel outside the door, and if Miss Fourth Ye does not agree, we will not get up."
Ye Wenyan just walked to the door and laughed when he heard this, "Threatening me?"
The two kneeling people shook their heads at the same time, "It's not a threat, it's a plea, please save my life, Miss Fourth."
"Why don't you go inside and ask for your beg? Why do you have to kneel here?" She looked at the people who had gathered around to watch the fun and curled her lips. "You are a fifth-rank official, and I am just a little girl. How can I accept your gift? Do you want me to kneel down and return the gift? It seems that you two came here just to see me kneel. Fine, then I will kneel, and see who can kneel longer."
As she spoke, she was about to kneel. Seeing this, the other two quickly stood up. The fat lady immediately stepped forward to support her and said, "You can't kneel like Miss Fourth. Let's get up. We won't kneel anymore. Please don't be angry, Miss Fourth."
"Don't be angry." She said to the fat lady in front of her, "I know what you are thinking. You kneel here to create momentum and win sympathy, so that the people who come to watch can see how you beg me humbly, and also force me to cure your son under pressure. But why don't you think about who I am, Ye Wenyan? The witch of the Ye family, how could I care about those good names and bad names. Besides, if you are sick, go to the doctor. I am not a doctor, I am the fourth lady of the first-rank general's mansion."
"The fourth young lady is a miracle doctor! She is much better than ordinary doctors." The fat lady subconsciously raised her voice, "Our son must be treated by the best miracle doctor. How can those ordinary doctors outside cure children's diseases? They are not worthy!"
The thin man quickly pulled her to stop her from talking, then he took a half step forward and said to Ye Wen: "The doctor outside said that it can't be cured. The wound has festering, and the child has been having a fever, sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious. The doctor said that if we don't treat him quickly, he might be in danger of death. My husband and I have no other options, so we came to ask for help from the fourth lady. Please have mercy on us and go to your house to see the child!"
Ye Wenyan remained indifferent, "You can ask the imperial physician for help."
"We can't hire a doctor."
"No, no, no, please move. After all, that's what your son said."
"He is young and ignorant."
"He must be almost twenty, right? Much older than me."
"You are almost twenty years old, but you are still a child!" The thin man looked anxious, "Fourth Miss, everyone says that you are a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering, so you should save all living beings!"
Ye Wenyan shook his head, "No, no, I guess you two have some misunderstandings about my identity. Your son called me a witch, and you asked me to save all living beings. Who has ever heard of the devil family interfering in Buddhist affairs? This doesn't make sense!"
"I've already told you that he's just a child and doesn't know anything. Why are you so stubborn about this? Do you want him to kneel down and beg you?" The thin fifth-rank master was furious. "We've already been so humble, isn't that enough? Ye Wenyan, what do you want? To watch someone die without rescuing him is the same as murder. Do you want to kill someone?"
Ye Feiyu couldn't stand it any longer: "Sir, please be careful with your words! This is a first-rank general's residence, not a place for you to act like a spoiled child!"
Some onlookers also spoke up for the couple: "Miss Fourth Ye, that's enough. They've come to you begging for mercy, just give them a way out. What's the point of making such a fuss?"
Ye Wenyan said, "Since you have come to ask me for help, you should have a correct attitude. If you only beg me but don't admit your mistakes, even if I heal the young master's injuries, he will just continue to curse and accuse me in the street. What do I want?" She sneered and looked at the thin man, "Kill people if you want to, whatever you say is fine as long as you are happy."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked back, but she heard the fat lady behind her shouting, "Stop right there, Ye Wenyan! Don't be ungrateful! Do you still think you are the former Fourth Miss Ye? Things are not the same as before. Your First-Rank General's Mansion has no military power or prestige, and you no longer have an old general backing you up. Why are you still so arrogant?"
She stopped, turned around, and said with contempt, "Haha, it's nothing great, the only great thing is that I can cure your son's disease."
"Then why don't you treat him quickly!"
"I won't treat it. You'll be mad to death!" Ye Wenyan laughed. He really wanted to mad the couple outside the door to death.
When he was about to leave again, he found that the old lady had come to the front yard without him knowing when, and even walked around the screen wall to the front door of the mansion.
The man was supported by Jun Tao, holding a walking stick in his hand. After he stood still, he pounded his stick on the ground, saying with great sorrow: "In the face of the disaster, every Northern Qi citizen has the responsibility and obligation to participate in it. No matter what you can do, even if it's just moving a brick or picking up a tile, it's a contribution!"
She pointed at Ye Wenyan, "You know medicine, so you should use your strengths to serve the country and the people. Now people have come to you for help, but not only do you not lend a hand, you also turn them away. This is simply a disgrace to our Ye family! When your grandfather was alive, he treated the country as his home and treated Northern Qi more attentively than our First-Rank General's Mansion. I thought you could be like your grandfather, but what a pity! We didn't teach you well after all, and you lost your mind after all. This is a family shame and a misfortune for our family. It's a misfortune!"
The old lady stood in the doorway and began to cry. She cried and talked at the same time. The scene was so touching that many people outside the mansion also wiped their tears and talked about how good General Ye was when he was alive. Now that the old general and the general were gone, the children of the first-rank general's mansion were all upset.
Among them, the fat lady cried the most miserably and loudest. She even held the old lady and complained while crying, "Old Madam Ye is indeed very righteous, but how could she do this to her granddaughter? My poor son is going to die in her hands. She is going to kill my son! My poor son!"
Suddenly, a long sword rushed over, the tip of the sword was cold and pointed precisely at the fat lady's forehead...
