Chapter 107 I Beat His Child
Originally, she thought that Ye Wenyan’s accident had nothing to do with her and it was not her fault, so she just let the Mu family and the second brother’s family quarrel, and it would be over after a while, and then she would accept the reality.
But she never expected that the Mu family would be so determined, and she never expected that Ji Nu would do things to this extent.
Seeing her second son's family being locked up and Ye Hongzhuang being dragged to the suburbs to die, she really couldn't bear it anymore.
"Mu Qianqiu." The old lady finally spoke to Mu, but the words she said were very unpleasant. She said, "My eldest son died in your hands. If you also killed my second son, then you are the sinner of my Ye family. The eighteen generations of the Ye family will come to you for revenge! Even if I risk my life, I will ask your Mu family for an explanation!" Mu nodded, "Okay. Since the old lady said so, I will put my words here. In the general's mansion, my husband died. If you also kill my daughter, you will be my enemy. Even if I, Mu Qianqiu, reincarnate 180 times, I will never give up with your Ye family!"
How did she take the words and throw them back? The old lady was blocked by her and her blood rushed up, and her eyes went dark.
Ye Lianmian stepped forward and asked, "Grandma, what happened? Is it serious? Grandma, please don't get angry with useless people. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt." After saying that, he glared at Mu and said, "Unfilial!"
Mu was so angry that her liver ached, but she heard Ye Lianmian attacking Ye Chulian again: "What are you still standing there for? Grandmother treats you so well and hired a teacher to teach you, but you don't have any conscience at all? For a cold-blooded person like you, what's the use of learning a lot of skills? What can the Ye family expect from you in the future?"
This was said to Ye Chulian, but it was also said to the old lady. The speaker had a good heart, and the listener was even more interested. So the old lady also looked at Ye Chulian, and saw that Ye Chulian was still at a loss, and she didn't know how to come forward to care for her. At that time, her heart sank. Can this granddaughter really help the Ye family?
Jun Tao felt that the morning greetings should be over. The old lady could no longer talk to Mu and had to rest. So she took a step forward, intending to order the guest to leave on behalf of her master.
But at this moment, a maid ran in from outside, bowed to the old lady and said, "Mrs. Jiang and Miss Jiang from the Shangshu Mansion are here, and they said they are here to visit."
The old lady didn't react for a moment, "Which Shangshu Mansion?"
The maid continued, "The residence of the Minister of Justice."
The old lady frowned when she heard this.
The Jiang family of the Ministry of Justice is on good terms with the eldest wife's family. What are they doing here at this time?
But since they were already here, it was not easy to chase them away, so she nodded and said, "Please go to Xuming Hall!" She was about to get up. But Ye Lianmian pushed her back and said, "Grandma, don't go. The lady from the Jiang family must be here to visit the eldest lady. Grandma has no relationship with them, so there is no need to meet them."
The old lady glared at her and said, "Ignorance." Then she snorted coldly and went to Xu Mingtang with the help of Jun Tao.
Ye Lianmian didn't know what he had said wrong and stood there in a daze for a moment.
Mu and Ye Qingmei also followed out, leaving only Liu and Ye Chulian in the room.
"Aunt, let's go back. No matter who Madam Jiang and Miss Jiang are visiting, it has nothing to do with us." Ye Chulian helped Liu, then looked at Ye Lianmian who was standing there in a daze, thought for a while and said, "Even if the Jiang family is on good terms with the eldest lady, it is the residence of the Minister of Justice after all, and its status is no worse than that of a first-rank general's residence. The wife of the Minister of Justice is visiting, even if she is visiting the eldest lady, grandma has to give her face and meet her. What's more, this message is sent to Fuluyuan. If grandma doesn't go, she will be blamed later." Ye Chulian left after she finished speaking. Ye Lianmian was stunned for a long time before she reacted: "Is she lecturing me?" She asked the maid Yuqiao beside her, "Is the fifth girl lecturing me?"
Yuqiao said quickly, "It sounds like she is teaching you a lesson, Second Miss! Fifth Miss is now a favorite of the old lady, and she is bolder than before. She would not dare to talk to you like this before."
Ye Lianmian was so angry that she gnashed her teeth. Could anyone in this family step on her?
In Xu Ming Hall, the old lady sat upright and talked to Madam Jiang. She had a smile on her dark and thin face, but it looked fake no matter how you looked at it.
Mrs. Jiang's smile was much more sincere. She asked the old lady with concern: "What's wrong with your hair? It looks like it was burned. It shouldn't be like this. The old lady didn't get angry herself, so how could her hair be burned. Was it struck by lightning?" Mrs. Jiang couldn't help laughing when she said this, "If it was really struck by lightning, then she must have done something that made God dislike her to make God so angry." Old lady Ye instantly regretted not listening to Ye Lianmian's advice. This Mrs. Jiang really couldn't say more than three nice words. She started to make trouble while talking. Is this the etiquette for a guest?
"Mother, please stop laughing." Jiang Wanting reminded her, "The Ye Mansion is still in mourning. We have to control our emotions to some extent."
Mrs. Jiang nodded repeatedly, "It's all my fault. I was so focused on Madam Ye's hair that I didn't consider the funeral in the mansion. I'm sorry." As she spoke, she stood up and bowed to apologize, then sat back down without waiting for the old lady to say anything.
The old lady was so angry that she was about to die. She looked at Mrs. Mu sitting next to her. She looked like a wronged person, with a face full of bitterness and hatred. She didn't know what to say. She just listened to her talking to Mrs. Jiang. But what could she talk about with Mrs. Jiang? It was just a courtesy to meet each other, and then you should go to whichever courtyard to talk. Why did she act like she was the protagonist?
However, Madam Mu did not speak, she just sat there, looking at something with her eyes. Jiang Wanting looked at the old lady, and sighed, "Oh, I really miss the time when Uncle Ye was here. The General's Mansion was much more lively and joyful than it is now. Even when Uncle Ye was away fighting, the General's Mansion was not as dead as it is now."
Madam Jiang also sighed, "What a pity, such a good person is gone. Madam Ye, don't you think this is too much of a pity? Brother Jinggui was in his prime, and his life span had not yet come to an end. How could he just die like that?"
The old lady frowned. "If he's gone, he's gone. Why do you keep mentioning him?"
Jiang Wanting took over the conversation: "Then let's not talk about Uncle Ye, let's talk about Grandpa Ye! Grandpa Ye hasn't reached the end of his life yet!"
The old lady was very upset and quickly called out to Madam Mu: "Old lady, you are familiar with each other, so you can chat with Madam Jiang. I am tired and need to go back to rest."
Madam Mu glanced at her and said, "Old Madam, take care." But she didn't move, not even bothering to follow the most basic etiquette. It was not until the old madam was far away and there were no more outsiders in the Xu Ming Hall that Madam Jiang stood up and walked to Madam Mu, lowering her voice and asking her, "Sister Mu, is Yan'er not back yet?"
Mu shook his head, "No."
"Then your second branch didn't give any explanation at all?"
Mu still shook his head, "No."
"What the hell..." Madam Jiang cursed, and then she looked at the Mu family's current state, which didn't seem to be as anxious as if they had really lost their daughter, and she had some idea in her heart. "I think you have your own ideas about Yan'er's matter, so I won't ask any more questions. Sister Mu, I just want to ask you what you have done with your second branch's family? If you still let them stay in the mansion as if nothing happened, don't blame me for looking down on you. Or if you can't save your face and tear your face off with them, then I will do it for you. We have to vent our anger after all! Don't worry, if I don't fight with Ye Lao Er, I will beat his wife."
Jiang Wanting was also eager to try, "Then I will beat his child!" Nanny Ji was laughing at the side, "You two, our eldest lady is not the kind of person who can't complain. The night when the fourth young lady got into trouble, the lady took action. The second master's family is still locked in the study room, not given food or water, and they will be locked up until the fourth young lady comes back. If they starve to death during this period, that's their fate."
Mrs. Jiang nodded continuously, "That's right, Sister Mu, you must have this kind of courage, that's what the legitimate daughter of the Mu family should be like!" As she spoke, she cast her eyes on Nanny Ji again, looked at her for a while, nodded silently, but did not ask any more questions.
The arrival of the Jiang family reminded Old Lady Ye that the Ye family had two major funerals in a row. Perhaps at first, people were only concerned with grief and did not think too much. But once the grief was over, would some things that they had not thought about before suddenly come to mind? Today it was the Jiang family, but tomorrow it would be whose family?
The old man and his eldest son had so many old subordinates. If she questioned them one by one, even the innocent things would be considered suspicious. Besides, she was already feeling guilty...
At the morning court session that day, because General Ye Er did not come again, someone brought up the incident of the Ye family losing their fourth young lady when they went out of the city to burn incense.
Quan Qingcheng listened to the court officials below talking about it. From time to time, someone would say that even if a lost girl was found, it would be a big deal. He was annoyed and couldn't help but ask, "How can it be a big deal if she was lost and then found? Do you just throw your child away after losing him? How is that different from killing someone?"
The courtiers below looked at him, and seemed very dissatisfied with the little emperor's words. They shouted at the time: "Even if she is not thrown away, who would want a woman like that? Who knows what will happen to her when she is thrown out? The most important thing in a woman's life is her reputation. If her reputation is ruined, it doesn't matter whether she lives or dies. On the contrary, she will be a burden to her family if she lives."
"You——" Encountering Ye Wenyan's matter, Quan Qingcheng was anxious, but he didn't know what to say. If he said less, it would not be strong enough, and if he said more, wouldn't it be confirmed that Ye Wenyan was left outside the city? Although he didn't care much about his reputation, it was hard to say such a thing, what if Sister Wenyan cared?
Seeing that he was speechless, the courtier felt very satisfied and proud.
But at this moment, someone's voice was heard from His Majesty Chengguang, saying: "Miss Ye Si was just invited by the king to drink tea, how come it was rumored that she was abandoned outside the city?"
