Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

The Cui family was pushed down by everyone. They had colluded with officials from all over the country for many years and even started a business of buying and selling official positions in the west. They deserved to die.

Ye Zhen hardened her heart and said, "Don't worry about her. If she wants to cry, let her cry in the yard."

"When you are tired of crying, drag it back to Shulan Courtyard."

"What the Ye Mansion lacks the least right now is crying."

Aunt Wang was left alone in the yard. She was really sad at first, but she became numb after crying for a while. When she was out of breath, Yu Lu quickly handed her a cup of tea.

Aunt Wang turned her face away and said, "The Second Miss is so cruel that she wants to see the two families die. I'd rather die here first!"

Yu Lu said calmly, "If you die now, you will just be thrown into a mass grave with a straw mat. Even if you don't care, are you willing to abandon your wife who is still seriously ill?"

Aunt Wang was moved, her red and swollen eyes were filled with tears again. She snatched the teacup and drank it all. Seeing that Ye Zhen was still motionless, she gritted her teeth and said she was worried about the lady and went back.

Liuxia mocked in the room, "Have they forgotten how they found a fool to force you to return to the Marquis' Mansion two days ago? They even had the nerve to ask you for mercy. Bah."

Ye Zhen didn't say anything, but she was no longer sleepy. She didn't wait until dawn until she finally embroidered two sweat towels, and her eyes were red from working so hard.

One piece is white and embroidered with cloud patterns, and the other piece is green and embroidered with amulet patterns. Because they use the same color silk threads, it is difficult to notice without careful observation.

Under Liuxia's persuasion, Ye Zhen ate a bowl of porridge and went to bed in her clothes. Just as she was feeling a little sleepy, she was disturbed by crying sounds coming from outside the yard.

I had never heard such constant crying even at Ye Rong’s funeral!

What bad luck.

Ye Zhen reluctantly stood up and put on a piece of clothing. Seeing Liuxia's serious expression, she asked, "Are all the people from Shulan Courtyard kneeling here?"

Liuxia nodded and shook her head, swallowing, "It's all the servants in the Ye Mansion. The maids and servants are in the yard, the slaves and servants are outside the yard, and even the medicine boy beside the master is here. It's a sea of ​​people."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Zhao shouted outside, "Second Miss, if you don't save me, I will hang myself at the gate, so that everyone can see how cruel you are to force us to death."

Aunt Zhao didn't expect the door to open suddenly, and she shivered with fear, but when she thought about her daughter's support, she straightened her chest and said, "Second Miss, seeing that Master Jinglan has a way out, she doesn't care about our lives, right?"

"You are not married after all. If something happens to the Ye family, can you escape? Are you going to become a Taoist priest in the mountains?"

Aunt Zhao met Ye Zhen's cold eyes and swallowed back the second half of her sentence.

Ye Zhen took a quick look and said, "It's the fault of Madam's family. The person who has the direct relationship with Madam is my father. According to what my father said, they didn't know anything at all. Why are they panicking?"

Aunt Zhao originally thought that the Cui family was in trouble and that she might be able to replace Cui's position in the Ye family, but she only realized how serious the matter was yesterday! She asked the maid to ask Ye Xue for help, but Ye Xue said that she would never let her get involved.

Aunt Zhao was extremely anxious, and Ye Yunsheng deliberately told her that it was the Imperial Master who did it, and that only Ye Zhen could save the Ye family.

Aunt Zhao discovered from the first day she entered the mansion that Cui was domineering but acted like a mistress, Ye Rong was arrogant and didn't bother to take them seriously, and only Ye Zhen was a soft-spoken person!

Ye Xue took her place in the Marquis' Mansion and she became the general's concubine as she wished, but she also lost a good reputation because of Ye Zhen! During this period, she had a say in the Marquis' Mansion only by taking money, but after just a few days, Li Chengge fell in love with Qin Yu again!

I heard that it was because of Ye Zhen's tricks that Qin Yu and Li Chengge met at the Spring Festival Banquet.

"From the tone of Second Miss's voice, are you willing to watch someone die without any help?"

Aunt Zhao got angry and said, "Well, it's death anyway, don't expect to have a good ending!"

After saying this, she lifted her skirt and walked out the door.

Ye Zhen was not afraid of her bad reputation, but she was worried that she would implicate Li Xuan. She ordered Liu Xia in a cold voice, "Tell Rong Fei to tie him up and tell father not to play tricks under my nose."

"Now that Jing Lan has a place to go, I am not afraid of death. If he has nothing to do, don't mess with me."

How could Ye Yunsheng not know Aunt Zhao's temper? He couldn't bring himself to ask Ye Zhen for help, so he wanted to force Aunt Zhao to plead with the Imperial Master. No matter what the fate of the Cui family was, he would feel at ease if he could get a word from the Imperial Master.

Liuxia was frightened by the harshness in her words and hesitated for a few seconds before taking any action.

Ye Zhen glanced at the maids and servants in the yard who were too frightened to say a word, and said slowly, "Since my father asked you to force me, it means that he knows what the Cui family did, and he also knows that he can't hide from it, so he feels guilty."

"If we're lucky, the Cui family will admit their crimes and we'll be able to get away with it. If we're unlucky, I won't be able to escape."

Someone said, "Second Master always takes care of Second Miss."

Ye Zhen's expression turned stern, "Drag him away and beat him to death immediately!"

"The Cui family has done something evil that has shaken the foundation of the country, and the Ye family has servants who are trying to bite the imperial master. I am not the one who really wants you to be buried with me."

Her words were clear enough. These servants were not fools. In addition, Li Xuan'an's attitude towards Ye Zhen was obvious to all. Seeing that everyone around the master had been dragged away, some of them immediately responded with a quick mind, "I will obey the orders of the Second Miss!"

When one person shouted, everyone followed suit, which surprised Ye Zhen. She thought she was going to rebel.

After sending them away, Xiaonian came back and said, "Second Miss, Aunt Zhao is pregnant, and Brother Rongfei didn't dare to be cruel. Now she has run to the gate."

Pregnant?

Ye Zhen's eyelids twitched. In her previous life, Aunt Zhao did give birth to a son, but unfortunately he was a deformed fetus. She couldn't accept the reality after giving birth and went crazy.

She had secretly investigated and found out that ever since Aunt Zhao entered the mansion, the spices and candles that Cui had given her were mixed with substances that could harm the body.

Aunt Zhao was anxious and sought some unknown remedy, but she became pregnant. Of course, under such circumstances, she could not give birth to a normal child.

"I'll go take a look."

Ye Zhen chased to the door and saw that Aunt Zhao had already opened half of the door a crack. She was shouting and cursing, and several people couldn't stop her. There were also people outside watching the fun.

Seeing her coming, Aunt Zhao pointed at her nose and said, "It's fine that the Cui family is ungrateful and harms the Ye family. Merchants are profit-oriented and have a heartless face. But look at our famous second young lady, she has to watch her family suffer!"

"No! She should be called Miss!" As soon as Aunt Zhao said this, the housekeeper's face changed drastically.

"She hated Cui for stealing her mother's position as the principal wife and forcing her mother to death. She hated the master for not making decisions for them! She hated Ye Rong for stepping on her head for the title of the eldest daughter of a legitimate wife even though she was obviously a concubine's daughter and younger than her!"

"I knew she was a smiling tiger. Cui has kept her for so many years, just to let a wolf into the house."

"But we are innocent. There are dozens of lives lost in this mansion. She could have said something to the Imperial Master to plead for mercy, but she was so cruel as to want us to die."

"Hmph, what do you mean by a young master with a predestined relationship with the Dao? Pah! I think it's just that she and the Imperial Master are having an affair, harboring some filth..."

Aunt Zhao was cursing happily when she turned her head and felt a needle against her throat. Ye Zhen's cold face was reflected in her pupils. Aunt Zhao's legs went weak instantly and she was supported by the housekeeper in time.

The silver needle on Ye Zhen's fingertips was even more terrifying than the Embroidered Spring Swords of the Jinyiwei at this moment. Except for Rong Fei and Liu Xia, everyone else had a look of horror on their faces.

Ye Zhen stared at him, "Don't you want to hang yourself at the gate for everyone to see?"

"People who are hanged are the ugliest. The root of their tongues will be squeezed out. This injection of mine will be more effective."

Aunt Zhao was so frightened that her features were distorted, "You, you don't, don't..."

"Don't be afraid, Auntie. I'm ruthless and it will hurt at most when I pierce your skin." As she spoke, she moved the needle in her hand. Auntie Zhao screamed, "Don't kill me!"

"Your acupuncture points have been pierced, so you won't die immediately. You'll probably twitch all over, and slowly experience the helplessness and suffocation of death."

"I won't dare to do it again. I won't dare to do it again!"

"Do not kill me!"

Aunt Zhao was trembling all over and her hair was messed up by herself.

If you keep talking about this, people will go crazy.

The housekeeper was also trembling, "Second Miss, please think twice."

Ye Zhen curled her lips coldly, "It turns out that Auntie doesn't want to die."

"If you don't want to die, go back and stay here quietly."

In the end, Aunt Zhao was dragged back by the housekeeper and Rong Fei. Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Liu Xia, "Find a chance to remind the servants around Aunt Zhao to find a way to check the incense and candles she usually uses."

"Yes."

Ye Zhen turned around to close the door, and suddenly saw Li Xuan's carriage parked at the teahouse diagonally opposite. It was the same carriage she took when she escaped from the Marquis' Mansion overnight, with magic bells hanging on all four corners.

She looked around but didn't see Li Xuan'an, so she unconsciously slowed down the movement of closing the door. When she looked up again, the waiter came out with a hunched back, and Ye Zhen's heart softened.

The next second, she froze in place and watched Meng Qianru get on the carriage.

The moment the car curtain was opened, the waiter knelt respectfully on the ground, and Ye Zhen pursed her lips tightly.

I thought it was Meng Qianru who came out in his carriage, but it turned out that Li Xuan was also in it. With such a pair of hands with distinct joints, who else could it be but him.
