[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Two quarters of an hour later, the three brothers Zhang, Song and Yunhui were invited to the main courtyard one after another.

Zhang was the first to arrive.

When she entered the room and saw Chunping kneeling in the yard, Zhang said nothing and went straight into the main hall.

Song came down to the main courtyard a little later, supported by the three Yunhui brothers.

"It's the dead of night, it's freezing cold, and my mother isn't well yet. Why do you have to ask her to come all the way here? Grandma is really too inhumane!"

Yun Shi complained in a low voice.

"Second brother, please stop talking." Yun Hui advised in a low voice, "If it wasn't urgent, grandma wouldn't have asked us to come here in the middle of the night."

"I just feel sorry for my mother." Yun Shi argued unconvinced, but in the end he did not complain anymore.

Song remained silent until she entered the main courtyard and saw the situation there, then she realized the seriousness of the problem.

Four servants in uniform stood at the entrance of the main courtyard. Inside the main courtyard, under the eaves on both sides of the corridor and beside the aisle, there was a servant standing upright every few steps. It would not be an exaggeration to describe the main courtyard at this moment as airtight.

At this moment, more than a dozen people were kneeling on the cold bluestone ground in the middle of the main courtyard. In front of them stood two old women who were guarding them.

There are many people in the main courtyard, but it is silent. From the moment you walk into the courtyard, you can feel its solemnity and depression.

"Madam, help me! Madam, help me!"

Just as Song was stunned, a pleading voice suddenly came from the crowd kneeling in the yard.

Song looked carefully and saw that among the dozen people kneeling in the courtyard, most of them were people who had recently been temporarily transferred to Tinglan Court to serve. The person who shouted for help was Xiao Liu who followed her from Lin'anfang.

At this moment, Xiao Liu's hair was disheveled, her expression was terrified, and she looked as if she had suffered great torture.

Xiao Liu shouted and tried to run out of the crowd, but as soon as she stood up, she was forced back to her knees by two old women.

Before Song said anything, Yun Shi looked at the two maids angrily and asked, "What are you doing? Let Xiao Liu go!"

Song stretched out her hand to stop Yun Shi who wanted to go forward to help, "Don't go over there!"

"Mother!" Yun Shi said angrily, "That's Xiao Liu! She is a maid in our house, how can we allow the people in the Marquis's house to abuse her?"

Song frowned and said, "I believe your grandmother would not bring Xiao Liu here for no reason. Go in first. Your grandmother is still waiting."

Yun Shi gritted his teeth, glanced at Xiao Liu, and followed Song into the house.

In the hall, Rong Enqing sat in the main seat. Zhang and Yunhai also sat down on the left side of Rong Enqing.

"Mother, sister-in-law, and fourth brother." Song was the first to greet them. Before she could bow, Rong Enqing interrupted her with a wave of his hand, saying, "Please sit down."

"Thank you, mother." Song sat down on the right.

After the three Yunhui brothers greeted each other politely, they stood obediently behind Song.

"I don't know why mother asked us to come here so late at night. What happened?" Song looked around and asked in confusion, "Why can't I see Yun Ye?"

Lian Yunhui and others were called over, so logically speaking, there was no reason for Yun Ye not to be here.

Rong Enqing looked at the Song family, then at Yun Hui and the other two, and finally fixed his gaze on Yun Shi.

"Something happened to Yun Ye!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang knocked over the teacup beside her, stood up suddenly, and asked in surprise, "What!?"

"What!?" Song was also shocked and her face changed drastically.

The only one who remained calm was Yun Hai. He just frowned slightly and then calmed down quickly.

The reason was simple. When Butler Li led people to seal off various places, he came to the main courtyard in advance.

At that time, Yun Ye was sleeping in Rong Enqing's arms, and he was the one who carried Yun Ye back to the house.

What he was wondering at the moment was why Rong Enqing said this. However, no matter why, he believed that Rong Enqing had his own reasons.

Rong Enqing's eyes were fixed on Yun Shi. Sure enough, when he heard that Yun Ye was in trouble, Yun Shi curled his lips almost imperceptibly. Although he quickly followed Yun Hui and Yun Zhao in showing a shocked expression, Rong Enqing still saw the fleeting smugness clearly.

"Mother, what happened to Yun Ye? Where is he? I want to see him! I want to see him!..."

Zhang was in tears and screaming loudly, as if she had suffered an emotional breakdown.

Song's face also changed drastically, her expression full of panic. She quietly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, but her eyes glanced uncontrollably at Yun Shi behind her.

After the tests were done, Rong Enqing did not have the habit of torturing Zhang, so he immediately cleared up the misunderstanding and said, "Okay, Yun Ye is fine. The one who got into trouble was a steward around Yun Ye. Someone gave Yun Ye a bowl of poisoned dumplings, and the steward ate them. The steward died on the spot! Yun Ye luckily escaped!"

"Really? Where is Yun Ye? I want to see him now!"

Hearing this, Zhang was surprised and happy, crying and laughing at the same time, without any manners at all. However, no one present laughed at her.

Just then, a familiar voice sounded at the door: "Mother, I'm here!"

Everyone turned around and saw Yun Ye walking in from the door in good health.

Zhang quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and carefully checked Yun Ye from head to toe. Seeing that he was indeed fine, she hugged him in her arms and cried with joy, "It's good that you're fine! It's good that you're fine!"

Yun Ye quickly comforted Zhang and sent her back to her seat. Then he walked up to Rong Enqing and bowed, saying, "Grandma, I want to get involved in this myself. I want to know the truth. I want to see the murderer's fate with my own eyes! You promised me!"

"Okay!" Rong Enqing nodded and pointed to the main seat next to her, "Sit down."

Yun Ye sat down in response, his eyes sweeping over the four members of the Song family, mother and son.

When seeing Yun Ye was safe and sound, Song secretly breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what Yun Shi did, as long as Yun Ye was fine, the situation was not irreversible! Fortunately!

At this moment, Yun Shi looked flustered, his eyes full of disbelief. Although he tried his best to suppress it, he was still too young to be calm and collected.

At this moment, Rong Enqing looked at him with sharp eyes, "Yunshi, do you have anything to say?"

"Ah!?" Yun Shi's body froze, and he waved his hands in panic, "I, I don't have anything to say."

At this moment, what else did Song Shi not understand? The fact that Rong Enqing asked such a question in person was enough to explain Yun Shi's problem. But she still subconsciously wanted to protect Yun Shi.

"Mother, are you mistaken? Yunshi is only eight years old, still a child! What can he do?"

"That's a good question! What can an eight-year-old child do?" Rong Enqing sneered and ordered, "Madame Gong, go tell the Second Madam."

"Yes."

Nanny Gong took the order and walked to the middle of the hall.
