Chapter 323 The plaque is back

"What's my role? I don't understand what you're talking about." Ye Jingsheng snorted, no longer paying attention to Ye Wenyan, and just walked forward to support the old lady. Xichun also trotted over, and didn't dare to look at Ye Wenyan when she passed by, and even subconsciously hugged her head, as if she was afraid that Ye Wenyan would suddenly hit her.

This action made Ye Jingsheng very depressed, but when he looked at Xiao who was sitting still, he became even more depressed, "What are you still doing sitting there? You just watched your mother fall? Xiao Shubai, do you have any heart?"

Xiao ignored him and just sat in the chair with almost no expression on her face. If it weren't for the blood on her hands and the ground, people would almost think that what happened just now had nothing to do with her.

Seeing that Xiao didn't move, Tang, who was sitting next to her, got excited again: "Second son's wife, you should at least pretend to do something!"

"Shut up!" Ye Jingsheng was really fed up with this Tang, and he had been fed up with her since he was a child. In his impression, this person was like a dog-skin plaster, which could not be shaken off once it stuck, and she was particularly willing to gossip and stir up trouble. The most important thing was that this person had no shame, and even if you beat her with ten big sticks, the pain would not even pass, and she would continue to stir up trouble again.

Ye Jingsheng's shout made Tang tremble, and then he continued, "My mother fell beside you, but you didn't even move. You really deserve her to let you stay in the mansion and treat you well."

Tang was about to say something, but Xichun advised her: "Aunt, please stop talking. Don't you think our house is messy enough?"

Ye Jingsheng snorted coldly, "You are already a grown-up, but you are not as sensible as a concubine. Do you still have the nerve to come to our house and give orders?"

Ye Wenyan below laughed when he heard this, "The Jiang family is all like this." Ye Jingsheng turned around and said, "You also shut up!"

How could Ye Wenyan listen to him! Not only did she not shut up, but she talked even more. She reminded Ye Jingsheng: "I hadn't even finished what I was saying just now, but Second Uncle hurried to help Grandmother. What's the matter? Don't you want to listen or don't dare to listen? But it doesn't matter. Whether you want to listen or not is your business, and whether I want to speak or not is my business. For example, I see you standing with Xichun now, why do I feel so uncomfortable? Second Uncle, I have never discussed this matter with you in depth. How did my maid Xichun catch your eye? How did she suddenly go from being a maid beside me to a concubine beside you?"

Ye Jingsheng's intuition told him that his fourth niece was determined to cause trouble today. He suddenly felt a little regretful. If he hadn't come, he might have escaped the disaster and wouldn't have to deal with Ye Wenyan face to face.

When she thought of this, she couldn't help but glare at Xichun, and Xichun hid beside the old lady in fear. The old lady was finally helped up, but she was still trembling. Ye Wenyan kept saying the things that scared her the most. What on earth was he trying to do? Could it be that today's morning and evening prayers had turned into a court trial?

Ye Jingsheng asked, "What on earth are you going to do?"

Ye Wenyan spread his hands: "What do you mean I should do? Second uncle should ask the aunt next to him what she wants to do! The Jiang family came to our Ye family to show off their power, and made my mother kneel down, and said that Second Aunt couldn't have children, and told us the rules of the Jiang family over and over again. What does she want to do? We were fine, and we didn't interfere with each other, but someone asked for death, so don't blame me for taking advantage of the situation. Now that the matter has come up, let's talk it out. Anyway, we are waiting for the plaque, so don't waste time."

She waved to the servant to change the tea, then lifted the lid of the teacup and said slowly, "I have just discussed the matter of pouring the medicine with my grandmother, but there is no progress. Now that my second uncle is here, let's move on to the next item and talk about Xichun."

Ye Jingsheng was really confused. Why did he come here?

Ye Wenyan raised the corner of his lips, "How did Xichun become Second Uncle's concubine? I think this matter needs to be discussed. After all, Second Aunt has been controlling the backyard very strictly these years. She even forbade you to enter Aunt Liu's room. How could she suddenly swallow her anger and agree to marry Xichun to you? Oh, Second Uncle, really, Second Aunt is so good to you, and the Xiao family has always helped you, but you said you wanted to marry a concubine, so Second Aunt must be upset? No one fights for Second Aunt, so I, as your niece, have to bear it."

She looked at Xiao, "Don't worry, auntie, your niece will definitely seek justice for you. I want to see if there is any compelling reason that would make your uncle sacrifice his dignity and take the maid in your niece's room as a concubine. Really, the hierarchy is messed up, how could your uncle have the heart to do this?"

Ye Jingsheng was embarrassed and annoyed by what she said, but he didn't dare to get angry, because Ye Wenyan said in the first sentence that this matter needs to be discussed. And what he was afraid of was the discussion, because he had a reason to marry Xichun. But he could vent his anger on Xiao, because Ye Wenyan was clearly speaking for Xiao, and Xiao was rude to the old lady, so he had reason to suspect that Xiao had already stood on Ye Wenyan's side.

So he frowned and glared at Xiao fiercely, "Jealous woman! Just for this reason, I can divorce you!"

Xiao Shi didn't care, and she didn't argue with him or say nice things to him like she did in the past. She just smiled faintly and reminded Ye Jingsheng: "If you can marry Xichun, you must also keep me. You have no choice."

Ye Jingsheng felt a sudden sense of confusion and suddenly felt as if he was blocked at both ends.

At this time, there was movement in the yard again. It was Zhuier who came back with two servants. The two servants were carrying a plaque together.

When they entered the hall, they saw two big characters clearly written on the plaque: Jiang Mansion.

Tang's head was buzzing. She really couldn't figure out Ye Wenyan's intentions. How could he do such a thing? Could he really hang up the Jiang family's plaque? Wouldn't that really be considered robbing the official residence? That would be a serious crime!

She was a little panicked, and turned around to explain to the old lady: "Sister, I really didn't mean that. Why is your fourth daughter like this? Where do you want to put me?"

The old lady glanced at her but said nothing, because she really didn't know what to say. This Tang was too troublesome and could cause her too much trouble.

Now that Ye Wenyan had taken things to this point, and even brought up the matter of spilling the medicine, and also made her second uncle speechless, how could she make up for this? She couldn't say a word now, because once she did, it might bring trouble to herself.

What if the matter of pouring out the medicine is brought up again? Will she still be alive?

Seeing that the old lady didn't say anything, Tang finally felt scared. She wiped her tears and begged Ye Wenyan: "Fourth Miss, please let me go. I really know I was wrong. I shouldn't have come to the Ye family to act like an elder, and I shouldn't have told the Ye family about the rules of the Jiang family. And, I shouldn't have made my eldest nephew's wife kneel, and I shouldn't have asked about whether you came back last night. In short, it's all my fault. Please let me go, and throw away this plaque, but don't hang it up!"

Ye Wenyan didn't say anything, but Zhuier spoke up: "Throw it away? Throw it away right after it was made? This is such a waste! No one's money comes from the wind, so why are you just throwing it away like this?"

Tang was about to lose her temper again subconsciously, but Jun Tao reminded her quietly, "Aunt, please say less."

She shuddered and swallowed back the words she wanted to say in response, but still asked Zhuier: "Then what do you say we should do?"

Zhuier rolled her eyes, "How would I know? You have to ask my young lady."

Tang looked at Ye Wenyan, thought for a while, and pleaded, "Fourth Miss, your aunt really knows she was wrong. It was just impulsive just now. Can you forgive me this time?" After that, she looked at Mu, "My eldest nephew's wife, you are so magnanimous. Don't be angry. I really won't dare to do it again next time. Please persuade the fourth lady that this plaque cannot be hung!" Mu ignored her.

Tang asked Ye Qingmei again: "Miss, can you say a few good words to my aunt?"

Ye Wenyan felt that this person was really annoying. "Alright, stop begging for this and that. Since the plaque is not going to be hung, then just settle the bill for making the plaque. Our Ye family cannot pay for this."

Tang nodded immediately, "I'll go, I'll go."

Zhuier handed over a list, "It's expedited, and it cost three hundred taels."

"What?" Tang almost jumped up from her chair. "Three, three hundred taels? Did you make a gold plaque?"

Zhuier replied: "It is true that there is some gold powder inside, because it is to look noble and not to bring disrespect to the Jiang family. Aunt, please give the silver quickly. After that, I will ask them to smash the plaque and ensure that no evidence is left."

Tang felt like she was going to pass out. "How could I have that much money? If I had that much money, I wouldn't have come to the capital to ask the Ye family for it, and I wouldn't have been sent away by Jingsheng's wife with just a hundred taels of silver."

"Oh, you can't afford it?" Zhuier waved his hand, "Forget it, just hang a plaque!"

"You can't hang up!" Tang was really anxious, "Wait, you can't hang up, you absolutely can't hang up, let me think about it again."

Ye Wenyan looked at Tang for a while, then said, "What else are you thinking about? How can you conjure up some silver? Why don't I give you an idea, how about exchanging goods for silver? Look at those things on your head, neck, and hands, they are worth about three hundred taels, even if they are a little less, it doesn't matter, we are all relatives, I will admit the loss. What do you think, aunt?"

Tang thought it was not a big deal, because the jewelry she wore were the best in her family, and she wore them to show off. Moreover, the total value of these things was more than three hundred taels, and it was several hundred thousand taels. Wouldn't it be a loss for her to use them to buy off the items?

Seeing that she didn't respond, Ye Wenyan understood, "Are you unhappy? Then hang a plaque!" "Don't hang it!" Tang gritted her teeth, "Can I give you one? One is enough to compensate."

"No, I want them all."

“Both.”

"All."

"Three."

"Zhui'er, hang up the plaque!"
