Chapter 101: Eat inside and outside

From the second day of the twelfth lunar month until now, Mu finally had the opportunity to vent his anger himself.

She had been carrying her daughter's death in her heart for so many days that she dreamed of killing her enemy and the entire family of the second wife.

It's a pity that the person cannot die yet. Yan'er said that there are still some things that have not been clarified, so no matter how angry she is, she has to keep him alive.

People watched as Madam Mu entered the study room carrying Nanny Ji's whip, and soon screams were heard from inside.

There are those with magnificent night views, those owned by the Xiao family, and those owned by night flying boats.

The sound of whips filled the ears, accompanied by the screams of the second wife's family. People knew that the first lady had taken ruthless action.

After about an incense stick of time, Mu finally came out of the study. Ye Qingmei, who had returned from outside earlier, hurried forward to support her, and heard Mu muttering: "I can finally give my Yan'er some vent."

Nanny Ji stepped forward to take the whip and said to Madam Mu, "Madam, don't worry. There is still a long time to go. You can come and whip her once a day. Just keep her breath."

Mu nodded, "Okay, it's settled."

As they were about to leave, Ye Jingsheng, who was seriously injured in the room, shouted again: "Go check on Xichun and see if she was stabbed! You must give her medicine, and don't let her die!"

No one outside responded. Xiao sat on the ground and sneered, "You don't even know whether you are dead or alive, but you are taking care of your concubine. Ye Jingsheng, are you destined to be a pampered maid in this life?"

Ye Jingsheng gritted his teeth in anger, "Xiao Shubai, there's no need to be sarcastic. You know why I'm afraid of her death! If you still want to live, keep Xichun safe for me, otherwise none of us will survive. And don't worry about your daughter anymore. She was thrown out of the city by that old woman named Ji. She won't survive this time." When Xiao mentioned Ye Hongzhuang, she started crying, crying and saying, "Isn't that your daughter too?"

"I don't have a daughter like that! It's not enough that she's courting death, she's also trying to harm her brother and drag my only son down with her! Xiao Shubai, if the flying boat is fine this time, then that's fine, otherwise I'll strangle you and your daughter to death!"

"You still blame me now? What do you mean Hongzhuang is asking for trouble? Who planned with the old lady to marry in place of Hongzhuang? Was I the one who started that? And this time, when I first heard that Hongzhuang sent a letter to her brother to arrange the ambush on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, who was busy with it? Who went to the temple with him to make arrangements? Didn't you also have hope for the ambush of Ye Wenyan? If you really didn't want your son to be implicated, what would you have done? You could have stopped the flying boat with a letter, but you didn't! Besides, you have never loved your son since he was a child, so why are you showing off now?"

Xiao gritted her teeth and spoke fiercely, but not loudly. Firstly, she was in pain, and secondly, she was afraid of being heard by people outside. They quarreled, but they didn't really want to live anymore, and they talked about everything in front of outsiders.

"After all, Ye Jingsheng, you also wanted that little bitch to die, so you got involved, and that's why you didn't even think of stopping to look for her when you found out her carriage was missing. We have the same heart, so what qualifications do you have to blame me?"

Xiao started to cry as she spoke. She was very conflicted. If she hadn't heard that Hong Zhuang had sent a letter to her brother, asking him to ambush and kill Ye Wenyan, she would have been determined to curry favor with him to the end.

She had to ask Ye Wenyan to treat her daughter's facial injury. She even thought that as long as Ye Wenyan agreed, she could sell some information, such as the old man's death.

Unfortunately, everything was disrupted. She still hoped that Ye Wenyan would die. After all, she was also afraid that the other thing would be discovered sooner or later. By then, no one would be able to survive.

With the help of her two children and accompanied by Nanny Ji, Madam Mu left Qihua Pavilion and was heading towards Qingliang Courtyard. Halfway through her journey, she encountered Ye Lianmian who was blocking her way.

She was exhausted and asked weakly, "Lian Mian, why are you here?"

Ye Lianmian groaned, "Why can't I come? How much do you dislike me?"

"I didn't." Mrs. Mu was always helpless when facing her daughter. "Since you are here, let's go together. Let's go back to the west."

"I won't!" Ye Lianmian dodged the hand that Mu extended to her. "I grew up in my grandmother's Fuluyuan. Why should I follow you back to the west? You don't even care about me. My mother doesn't treat me as a daughter, my brothers and sisters don't treat me as a sister, and Ye Wenyan doesn't treat me as a second sister. Why should I go back with you?"

Mu wanted to explain: "We didn't, how could we not keep you in our hearts?"

"Then why did you hide away and make dumplings without even calling me?" Ye Lianmian found it ridiculous when he mentioned what happened that day. "You keep saying that we are a family, but you hid away and made dumplings without even thinking of me. Do you think I'm in your heart? Who do you think I am?"

Mu was speechless by her question. She did not ask Ye Lianmian to help with the dumplings that day. It was her fault. As a mother, she should treat all the children equally, but she did not do so. She only thought that her second daughter had a different personality from the other children, and that if they were together, it would only cause unpleasantness. She forgot that everyone was together but one person was missing. How sad Ye Lianmian must be.

"Lianmian, I'm sorry, it's my fault." She took the initiative to admit her mistake, hoping to be forgiven.

Ye Lianmian laughed at herself, "What's there to be sorry about? I've been used to it since I was a child. You gave me away right after I was born, which shows that you didn't have any feelings for your daughter. But I was born by you after all. If you really feel sorry for me, then I'll ask you for one thing. Can you agree to it?"

"You tell me." Madam Mu looked at her daughter, feeling indescribable regret in her heart. If she had insisted a little longer and not let her husband give the child to the old lady to raise, would the result be different?

"Release my second uncle's family." Ye Lianmian made a request. "If you release my second uncle's family, I will forgive you and treat you well in the future. Even if you don't like me, I won't complain anymore. How about it?"

Mu was stunned. Which family should be released?

Ye Qingmei also frowned, and said to Ye Lianmian: "Second uncle's family has attacked Yan'er several times, and this time they even abandoned Yan'er halfway. How can we let her go? Lianmian, I used to have the same idea as you. I wanted the whole family to be good, and I wouldn't care too much about who has more or less. But second uncle's family is too much. Last time they tried to get her married, and this time they killed her. If we keep tolerant, one day the whole family will lose their lives."

"What do you know?" Ye Lianmian gritted his teeth and glared at the twin sister. "They only hate Ye Wenyan. The rest of us have no conflicts with Second Uncle's family. Who doesn't hate Ye Wenyan? When Grandfather and Father were alive, they only loved her and gave her the best. We should have divided all the things equally, but she took them all. Our family is like this, let alone Second Uncle's children. Take the Sixth Prince for example. Hongzhuang also likes the Sixth Prince and has asked Grandfather for this, but why did Grandfather only make the decision for Ye Wenyan? In the final analysis, he is partial! So now Second Uncle's family is teaching that dead girl a lesson, and there is nothing wrong with that! We will not risk our lives for this!"

Mrs. Mu was furious when she heard this. Every time she talked to her second daughter, she would end up being furious.

She couldn't understand why Ye Lianmian treated her younger sister Ye Wenyan like an enemy? She was even worse than Ye Hongzhuang from the second house? But in the past years, it seemed that there was no hatred between her two daughters.

"Just tell me whether you will let me go or not." Ye Lianmian stared at Mu, "Just tell me whether you will let me go or not. If you let me go, we will still be mother and daughter. If you don't, don't expect me to treat you as your mother in the future." She laughed again when she said this, "Maybe I am being too sentimental. You never treated me as your daughter in the first place, so it is unlikely that you will agree to this, right?" Mu took a deep breath, "Lianmian, there is not a moment when I stop treating you as my daughter, but have you ever treated me as your mother? I will not let your second uncle's family go unless they return my daughter to me."

"You have three daughters. Are you sure you only want that one?"

"No, I want them all. If it were any of you today, I would make the same choice."

Ye Lianmian failed to seek help, and ran to Qihua Pavilion to try to go in. However, the Ji brothers and sisters guarding the door told her: "Second Miss, you can go in, but you have to think carefully. This door is easy to enter but difficult to exit. Once you enter, you can only share life and death with the Second Master and his family. Don't even think about walking out again."

Ye Lianmian stopped and didn't dare to take another step inside.

But she couldn't just plead for the second branch in front of the Mu family for nothing. Someone had to appreciate it.

So she stretched her neck and yelled, "Uncle, aunt, cousin, I'm Lianmian. I just went to ask the eldest lady for mercy for you. But she showed no mercy at all and even wanted to break off relations with me because of this. Uncle, aunt, don't worry. I will go back and discuss it with grandmother and will definitely rescue you."

After she finished shouting, she left and returned to Fuluyuan, where she lay on the old lady's lap and cried.

The old lady was annoyed by her crying, and asked her with a frown, "You are so flattering to your second uncle's family, do you think I am old and about to die, so you are looking for a backer to leave a way out for yourself?"

"No, it's really not." Ye Lianmian hurriedly explained, "Grandma, please don't misunderstand me. You raised me, how could I think of such a thing? I just feel that you have loved my second uncle the most since I was a child. Now that my second uncle's family has been harmed like this, grandma must be very sad. I didn't want to make grandma sad, so I thought that after all, she is Mu Qianqiu's biological daughter. If I risked my face and didn't want her, I would beg her, and maybe she would let my second uncle go. But I didn't expect that she would rather not have a daughter like me than give in. Grandma, Lianmian tried her best, but still couldn't share your worries. It's all Lianmian's fault..."
