The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 304: Disobeying the Emperor's Order, Do You Know?

"Where can you hide, second sister? Why do you let me bear all the trouble caused by your talkativeness?" Ye Wenyan said to the old lady, "Grandma, don't be angry. After all, she is the child you raised. No matter how she lives, she is a reflection of you. It's like looking in the mirror. You can see yourself when you look at her!"

Then he turned to Tang and said, "Don't be angry, Auntie. If you can't get the shop, then you can't get it. It's your fault that you can't handle the relationship properly! If my uncle had a higher status in my grandmother's heart than that illegitimate son, we wouldn't have been in such a situation today, and the restaurant would have been given to you a long time ago. Don't worry, just be nice and try to please my grandmother in the future, and maybe the relationship will be smoothed over."

Tang's face became uglier and uglier, but Ye Wenyan was still talking: "Besides, don't feel sorry for this shop. My grandmother has many shops! They were all asked by my second sister and my mother over the years, and they are all in her hands. Since you are here, she has to give a little, otherwise my uncle's fuss in the front yard will be in vain!"

She looked at the old lady again, "Grandma, am I right? Is this the proper way to entertain guests? Don't worry, I wouldn't say this to ordinary guests. This is only because your maternal family is here, and they are your direct relatives. I say this to show that I am close to your maternal family. You see, it's not easy for your uncle and aunt to come here, you can't just send them away with a mere 100 taels of silver notes, not to mention that the silver notes were taken back by Second Aunt, which is really disappointing! Why don't you be more generous and give away the shop in your hands, so that your aunt won't have to look on anxiously."

Madam Ye was just as confused as Madam Tang at the moment. She felt the world was spinning in front of her eyes, just like she was on a boat.

She had experience and knew that this was because Ye Wenyan was angry, and she was thinking that sooner or later Ye Wenyan would be angry to death.

Why should she give her shop to others? Not even her own brother! She must keep her things in her own hands and give them to her beloved second son in the future. No one else can get a share from her.

Seeing the old lady with a gloomy face and not saying anything, Tang felt quite embarrassed. She also knew that it was impossible for her sister to give her anything. So she might as well be more generous and make a gesture to avoid embarrassment for both of them.

So Tang glared at Ye Wenyan and said, "Don't try to sow discord. I won't fall for it. Your grandmother is our biological sister. Whether she gives us anything or not, we are our biological sister. We don't covet those material possessions. I won't take this shabby shop, nor any other shop! Your grandmother is right. You are bringing trouble to me by getting into a lawsuit for no reason! You should keep it for yourself!"

"Okay!" Ye Wenyan took back the deed with a smile, put it back into her sleeve pocket, and bowed to Tang, "Then my granddaughter will listen to my aunt, and I will keep the deed myself." After saying that, she looked at the old lady, "My aunt told me to keep it myself, grandma, don't be afraid that I won't give it to you! Haha, you see how this happened, I feel embarrassed."

The old lady couldn't catch her breath and almost fainted.

But Ye Wenyan was still saying to Ye Lianmian: "Look, Second Sister, because of your words, Grandmother lost such a good shop. Now, my aunt won't let me give it to her. What do you think I should do? Oh, I am so unfilial!"

Ye Lianmian was anxious and kept waving his hands: "It's not me, it's not me, I didn't mean it!"

The old lady glared at her fiercely, her eyes full of resentment and annoyance, and she didn't want to say a word to her. Ye Lianmian became even more anxious, and shouted at Ye Wenyan: "What on earth are you doing here?"

Ye Wenyan was still smiling, "Didn't Second Sister say long ago that I was here to deliver the shop to Grandmother? But since I can't deliver the shop, I'll do something else on the way. The east and west courtyards are quite far apart, and I can't come here for nothing."

The old lady was a little flustered. What else could it be? It couldn't be a good thing anyway.

Ye Lianmian asked directly: "What else do you want to do?"

Ye Wenyan smiled and said, "I just want to remind you, grandma, that after Baipinxiang, there may be many shops that have problems one after another recently. Grandma, you have to keep a close eye on them and don't make it as embarrassing as yesterday. You are the old lady of a first-rank general's mansion. If you keep embarrassing yourself outside, grandpa will not let you off easily. In addition, because the shops are always having problems, I have to ask the people from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to take a look to see if there is any bad luck in our family again."

Having said this, the look in his eyes when he looked at the old lady suddenly changed, as if he had suddenly remembered something.

Ye Wenyan pointed his finger at the old lady, "Ah! I remember now!"

The old lady frightened her to death. "What did you remember? Don't play tricks. Just say what you want to say!"

"I remember that during the New Year's Eve banquet, the Emperor asked you to stay at home and not go out. Then why did you go to Baipinxiang yesterday? This is unlucky! It's not a big deal to offend your own shop, but what if you offend the royal family? What should you do?"

The old lady's face turned pale in an instant!

Yes, how could she forget this? She had been following the rules all along. Even if the earth was turning upside down, she had never thought of leaving the house. How could she go out of the house when she heard that something happened in the restaurant?

Ye Wenyan was still explaining the seriousness of the matter to her: "You are too worrying. This is disobeying the emperor's order! How could you do such a thing? I know that you are relying on your family's military merits and feel that it is okay to disobey the emperor's order. The emperor can't do anything to you. Besides, you don't take the new emperor seriously. I understand all this. But grandmother, people's words are scary. If the emperor doesn't do anything to you, what if the people don't like it?"

Ye Lianmian followed up with a question: "Why shouldn't the people do it? Why shouldn't they do it?"

Ye Wenyan continued to analyze: "This year's harvest was not good to begin with. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a dragon turned over, which was an evil spirit. People tried every way to pray to the gods and Buddhas to avoid this evil spirit, but you always violated taboos and went against the people. If the people figured this out, they would rush to the general's mansion and tear you to pieces!"

The old lady shuddered violently, unable to conceal the fear on her face.

Mrs. Tang didn't understand, so she asked, "What's going on? What do you mean? Why don't you let my sister go out?"

Ye Wenyan patiently explained to her, "On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, the sky showed that there was an evil spirit blocking the emperor's return to the sun. The Imperial Astronomical Observatory observed that there was an evil spirit in the capital, and it was my grandmother. Normally, this kind of thing should be punishable by beheading, or even the entire family, but considering that my family has made great military achievements, my grandmother was spared. However, the emperor also issued an order, asking my grandmother to avoid the stars at home and not to leave the house to bring out the evil spirit. She had been avoiding them well, but when something happened in the restaurant, my grandmother got anxious and forgot about it."

As she spoke, she sighed, "Grandma is not such a greedy person. It is impossible for her to disobey the imperial edict just for a restaurant. So I figured it must be because of my uncle and aunt who run the restaurant. Grandma is really good to them. When they made a mistake, she was willing to disobey the imperial edict and go to save them in person. Speaking of which, I am a little puzzled. Why is grandma so good to her illegitimate sons and nephews, but not so close to her legitimate brother? Aunt, did you offend grandma in some way?"

"Shut up!" Old Madam Ye was about to collapse. "Instead of talking about useless things, you might as well think about how to resolve the matter of disobeying the emperor's order and leaving the palace. I don't take the new emperor lightly, and I have never thought that I can disobey the emperor's order just because of my military achievements. It's not because I miss those two evil creatures that I hurried out of the palace to save them. I just... just..."

But what? The old lady thought carefully, why did she leave the house as soon as she heard that something happened in the restaurant? Who told her about this?

After thinking about it, she figured it out, and pointed the finger at Ye Wenyan at that time - "It's you! It was you who sent the maid in the room to tell me about this, and it was you who asked someone to lead me out! I forgot that I couldn't leave the house when I was anxious, but you didn't remind me at the time, and you kept instigating me. Now that I have disobeyed the order, you turn around and use this to make things worse. What good will it do you? Ah? Ye Wenyan, let me ask you, what good will it do you if someone in your family disobeys the order?"

Ye Wenyan curled her lips, "It's true that there's no benefit, but it's also no harm! After all, it was you who disobeyed the imperial order, so even if the court blames you, it's on you, not me. Besides, I really didn't mean it. I just mentioned this to you at the time. After all, the shop is under your name, so you have to take responsibility if something goes wrong. Who would have thought that you would be so excited that you had to go over and deal with it in person, which is a taboo."

The old lady was so angry that she had no idea what to do. Tang was also shocked when she heard this. She thought to herself that her sister was too impulsive. How could she disobey the emperor's order? What did it mean that some evil spirit blocked the emperor's return to life? Was it because she was related to the death of the previous emperor?

This is a big deal. If the whole family is executed, does the Jiang family in Xiushan County count as one of the nine families? After a woman gets married, she can only be considered a member of her husband's family, right? So no matter what this sister does, it should have nothing to do with the Jiang family. Or if it really doesn't work, she can go back and divorce Jiang Shuo, so that she is no longer a member of the Jiang family and has nothing to do with Old Madam Ye.

Tang was only concerned with calculating whether she was among the nine clans. Old Madam Ye had already lowered her attitude and began to beg Ye Wenyan: "Think of a way. If the court really wants to blame you for this, you will also be implicated. Don't blame me for speaking harshly. If the nine clans are implicated, you, your mother, and your brothers and sisters will all be held responsible!"
