On the way to the yard, Chen Tanyan had several thoughts: "This Ye Guyan is becoming more and more unfaithful to her husband. She is not only under house arrest, but also angry. If it weren't for me, she and her brother would have been dead on the street."

Over the years, in Chen Tanyan's heart, he only remembered how much kindness he had given to Ye Guyan.

But he automatically ignored Ye Guyan's tolerance and dedication.

If it weren't for Ye Guyan, his mother would have died long ago.

If Ye Guyan's brother had not asked him to guard the border as a condition, given his previous crimes, it would not have been so simple for him to be demoted to a fiefdom.

It can be said that Ye Guyan has already repaid the life-saving grace that year.

When they arrived in the yard, Chen Tanyan kicked him away angrily: "Bitch..."

But as soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Tanyan bent his knees and knelt down.

"See the Queen."

"Uncle, there are no outsiders here, so there is no need to observe these etiquettes." Queen Xu Yunxun's beautiful eyes were clear, but she maintained her royal dignity even when she raised her hand.

Chen Tanyan replied respectfully: "The Queen is of noble status, and I dare not lose my sense of propriety."

"Yes, sister, my master likes to kneel. If you don't let him kneel, he will feel uncomfortable." Ye Guyan joked.

When Chen Tanyan heard this, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

What does it mean that he likes to kneel?

Wait, that’s not right. When did Ye Guyan recognize Xu Yunxun as her sister?

But soon, he learned the answer from Xu Yunxun.

"Your Highness, my father was nearly killed by bandits during his diplomatic mission to Xise. Fortunately, General Ye Shinian saved him at all costs. Therefore, I have come here today to acknowledge Gu Yan as my sister. You should not neglect her in the past." Xu Yunxun spoke in a relaxed tone.

Chen Tanyan immediately nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, Queen, Yan'er and I are in perfect harmony and love each other very much. I have never treated her unfairly."

"Harmonious marriage? But I heard that your sister was originally the second wife, but you, Your Highness, lowered her generation because you gave birth to a boy." Xu Yunxun narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were like a sharp arrow that pierced through Chen Tanyan's lies.

Chen Tanyan's face was covered with sweat, but he still said stubbornly, "Who spread the rumor and caused the Queen to misunderstand? Liu Mei was the first one to enter the palace, and she definitely did not treat Yan'er unfairly."

A hint of indifference flashed across Xu Yunxun's eyes.

She originally thought she was hallucinating, but it seems that everything Chen Shuyin said in her arms was true.

Chen Tanyan, this old fox, was so hypocritical that even he himself believed it.

"What if I want to promote my sister's position?" Xu Yunxun said again.

The reason why Chen Tanyan promoted Liu Mei was not only because she gave birth to a son, but more importantly, her father was the richest man in Kyoto.

If he wants to start a rebellion in the future, he will definitely need huge funds.

That's why they chose to squeeze out Ye Guyan, who had no status and no backing at that time.

Although the Queen had spoken out, Chen Tanyan still said firmly: "Your Highness, Liu Mei has managed the household well over the years. If she has done nothing wrong, it would be unfair to demote her at will. If the news gets out, it will definitely lead to gossip."

Chen Tanyan knew that the emperor's favorite thirteenth prince was imprisoned for defiling a commoner girl.

Other officials, for the emperor's sake, pleaded for leniency on the grounds that the Thirteenth Prince was young and ignorant.

But the Xu family insisted on executing him to appease the people.

The consequence of angering the emperor was that Mr. Xu was sent to the stingy Xise.

On the way, the Thirteenth Prince sent assassins to kill him. If it weren't for Ye Shinian's protection, he would have died in a foreign land.

Chen Shuyin rubbed Xu Yunxun's soft chest and immediately said: [Godmother, you will see how this bad woman Liu Mei manages the household.]

This time, Xu Yunxun also learned from Chen Shuyin how the Xu family could break the impasse.

In addition to being happy, Xu Yunxun not only recognized Ye Guyan as his sister, but also recognized Chen Shuyin as his goddaughter.

The mother and daughter are in trouble today, so Xu Yunxun will naturally not sit idly by.

Xu Yunxun then frowned and asked, "Then according to what the prince meant, if Liu Mei made a mistake, can her position be adjusted?"

Chen Tanyan was stunned. He didn't expect that he had dug a hole for himself.

Helpless, Chen Tanyan gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, if you really made a mistake, you can naturally readjust your position."

"Well, I will just remember what you said for now."

Xu Yunxun's words left Chen Tanyan confused.

"By the way, Your Majesty, why are you coming back instead of going ahead to worship your ancestors?"

At this time, Ye Guyan spoke again.

At this point, Chen Tanyan finally remembered the purpose of his return, and immediately put on a kind smile and said, "Yan'er, the ancestor worship ceremony has begun, and your husband is here to attend it with you."

After Ye Guyan and Chen Shuyin exchanged glances, Ye Guyan frowned in embarrassment, "But Master, the time you have confined me has not yet come. It is not against the rules for me to go out now."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunxun was immediately displeased and said, "Your Majesty, I wonder what my sister has done wrong to warrant such a severe house arrest?"

Chen Tanyan's face darkened and he immediately denied: "When did I confine you, Madam?"

Chen Shuyin cast a contemptuous look at Chen Tanyan: [Bah, scumbag father, you dare not admit it, you are not a man. ]

A hint of sadness also appeared in Ye Guyan's eyes.

The reason why she had taken a liking to Chen Tanyan before, besides for saving her life, was more because he was an open and honest person.

But the current Chen Tanyan was full of scheming, vicious and cruel, completely different from the one she had seen before.

However, if it weren't for God's gift of her precious daughter Chen Shuyin, she would probably have lived in Chen Tanyan's sweet words all her life.

Fortunately, all of this can still be salvaged.

"The chief steward has personally delivered the order, and silver-armored guards are guarding the door. Master, this is not house arrest, could it be..." Ye Guyan's eyes moved, and he asked back gently.

Chen Tanyan had a gloomy face and called Jin Ze in immediately.

Before Jin Ze could react, he was chopped down by Chen Tanyan with a sword as soon as he entered the door: "Evil slave, falsely passing on the master's order!"

Ye Guyan covered Chen Shuyin's eyes immediately, with anger oozing from his brows.

For the sake of his goal, Chen Tanyan didn't care about anything and even let his infant daughter watch such a bloody scene.

But Chen Shuyin struggled to squeeze through his fingers, wanting to catch a glimpse of Chen Tanyan's helpless and furious look.

But even though Chen Tanyan killed Jin Ze to show his love, Ye Guyan still sighed and said, "Your Highness, Shuyin has been weak and sick recently and can't stand the cold. The execution ground is far away, so why don't we go? Anyway, there is no point for us, an orphan and a widow, to go there."

Xu Yunxun was displeased and said, "Your Highness, when I came here just now, I saw that the supplements on the second house's side were piled outside the door, but my sister's side was empty. Why are you still treating her differently?"
