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

Chapter 327 Return to the Evening

This was clearly a murder case involving a master and servant. She could have simply raised her hand and ended the lives of the two men.

But she couldn't do that, because once she did that, she would never have the chance to know the old lady's motive for killing the old general, and the world would never know what the hero who dedicated his life to the country ended up with.

Miss Ye Si's last wish was not just to ask the murderer to pay with his life, she wanted the truth to be made public, and to avenge her grandfather and father. But for true revenge, killing the murderer alone is not enough.

She walked out of the house and went around to the backyard. She saw that the tree had been cut into several pieces by the women and the branches had been pulled out. At first glance, she couldn't tell whether it was a newly cut tree or a stored firewood. Ye Wenyan's lips curled up slightly. "Cut down a tree? I'll give you a tree that can never be cut down."

The old lady had a very strange dream. In the dream, she saw the tree that had been chopped into pieces. The pieces seemed to come alive and connected themselves to the way they were before they were chopped. The broken branches grew back, and some even had new buds sprouting from them, which was like the warmth of spring and the blooming of flowers.

The old lady had slept for less than an hour when she woke up from such a strange dream. The moment she opened her eyes, she broke out in a cold sweat, and even the mattress was soaked.

Jun Tao woke up when she heard the noise, lifted the curtain and asked, "What happened to the old lady? Did she have a nightmare?"

The old lady nodded and said as calmly as possible, "Go outside and see if the tree has really been cut down."

Jun Tao was stunned and thought how could it be fake? Even if she didn't go to see it, she would have heard the noise.

But since the old lady had given the order, she had to go. So she got up and hurried outside the house. After a while, she came back and said to the old lady, "Cut it down and put a stone table on top of it."

The old lady frowned and said, "Go to the backyard and see if the tree is intact or has been cut into pieces."

Jun Tao was really confused, "What is the old lady doubting?"

The old lady shook her head. "No, I just had a dream. I dreamed that the trunks that were chopped into pieces were connected back by themselves, and the branches were also connected back, turning into a complete tree again, and even new buds grew on the branches."

Knowing that she was dreaming, Jun Tao breathed a sigh of relief. "The old lady was just thinking too much about this matter, so she had such a strange dream. How could a cut tree trunk grow back by itself? How could a tree grow new buds in this cold winter night? Stop thinking too much, sleep a little longer, it will be dawn in more than an hour."

Jun Tao helped the old lady lie down again while speaking. She found that the mattress was soaked with sweat and it was not comfortable to sleep on. She wanted to sit up and change to a new mattress. But the old lady was too sleepy. She lay down and fell asleep almost without any process. She could not change the mattress.

Jun Tao was much more energetic after being tossed around like this. She sat on the ground and thought about the strange dream the old lady had told her over and over again. Finally, she got up and went to the backyard. No matter whether it was a dream or something else, it wouldn't hurt to take another look. It would be easy to tell the old lady if she asked about it tomorrow morning.

She walked to the backyard with this mentality, but there was nothing in the backyard. It wasn't that there was nothing, but there was no tree. Such a big tree, even if it was chopped into pieces, it would be a lot of wood, but there was no wood or tree pieces in the backyard, and there was no extra firewood in the woodshed.

Jun Tao felt that something was not right and wanted to go find the maids, but they were all asleep and she couldn't wake any of them up.

She went back to the front yard to wake up the old lady and tell her about it. As soon as she walked back to the front yard, she was almost scared to death by the sight! The tree that had been cut down had grown back in the same place. The trunk was still as thick as before, but the branches were more numerous than before. When she looked closely, she found that new buds had grown on the branches, just as the old lady said.

The tender green new buds symbolize the arrival of spring, but it is only the end of the first month of the lunar calendar and it will still be some time before the real spring comes and the flowers bloom!

Jun Tao's teeth kept chattering together, and her whole body was shivering. Such a shock made her feel very cold, so cold that she had to go back to the charcoal fire box.

But there was not much charcoal left in the room. The old lady was not used to burning charcoal all night, and she always extinguished the charcoal in the second half of the night. At this moment, the room began to get cold, and Jun Tao huddled in the corner of the couch. He could not wake up the old lady, and it was difficult for him to fall asleep again.

She spent the rest of the night like this. Everyone in Fuluyuan fell into a deep sleep, from the servants to the maids to the old lady. No one could be woken up. She was the only one awake in the entire Fuluyuan. She was awake to see those strange trees and to endure the terrifying night. She was so awake that her spirit was about to collapse.

In fact, the situation of people in other courtyards was not much better. Ye Lianmian was taken to Huayu Courtyard by Xiao, and three groups of doctors were invited to look at her arm. They even used the name of Ningguo Marquis' Mansion to invite an imperial physician from the palace.

But everyone said that the arm can be cured, but the patient will definitely be left with some disability in the future. At the very least, the arm cannot be straightened and cannot lift heavy objects.

Ye Lianmian found it hard to accept this result. She cried and made a fuss all day and finally fell asleep before midnight. But she woke up in pain after only one hour of sleep and kept groaning in the room.

Xiao couldn't sleep because of her noise. Now that the renovation of the mansion has been completed, Ye Jingsheng will either go to the newly renovated Qihua Pavilion or go to Xichun. He will not stay here to compete with her for the main house.

She moved back into the main house, but she no longer felt the excitement she had when she first became the mistress of the house and when she first moved in with Huayu and Huaer.

Now she feels that the entire First-Rank General's Mansion is a huge joke, and all her efforts over the years have become a mockery.

Ye Jingsheng is a heartless person, and Old Madam Ye is also a person who only cares about profit. Once she can no longer bring benefits to the Ye family, she will be the first to be abandoned. But what should she do to get through this? This is the home she has worked hard to manage for more than ten years. She can't just watch a second wife come in and share the same status with her. She must do something to stabilize her position again.

Jinxiu pushed the door open and came in, shaking her head as she walked: "The Second Miss was in a big fuss, and kept crying out in pain. I saw that her arm really couldn't be straightened up, and it kept bending. I don't know why Nanny Ji hit her so hard. What do you think about this, Madam?"

Xiao shook her head. "It's useless. The eldest daughter is too stupid. Even if she is cured, she is useless. I have thought about cultivating this child countless times before. But it's a pity that she is useless and will eventually become a useless piece of mud."

Jinxiu also said, "The Second Miss is really not good enough. She is not very smart and speaks without restraint. She always gets into trouble when she speaks. No matter how hard you try, you can't cultivate such a person. But we can't just sit there and wait for death. The situation in the General's Mansion is getting more and more unfavorable to us. Now not only is the Second Master alienated from you, but even the Old Lady... Madam, you still have to think of a way. The imperial physician said that you have a cold body, so we will find a better doctor to take care of you. If you take good care of your body, you will be able to make up for it."

Xiao snorted, "What's the point of supplementing? Even if I'm not cold, I can't give birth to this child. He won't even enter my room now, how can I give birth to a child?" She paused, and then said, "You can't force a child. Besides, even if we give birth to one now, it will take more than ten years to raise him. Ten years is too long, enough time for many things to happen. So we can't count on the newborn child, we still have to count on Hongzhuang. Jinxiu, is there any news about Meimei?"

Jinxiu shook her head, "No, she is completely missing. We have sent out three groups of people to look for her, but to no avail. It's as if she has disappeared from the face of the earth. I am beginning to doubt whether she really existed."

Xiao was a little impatient, "There are not so many mysterious things, just send someone to investigate."

"Madam, rest assured. I have been investigating. But Madam, we can't think too badly. After all, the Third Miss is not necessarily pregnant with a girl. There is at least a 50% chance that it will be a boy."

Xiao Shi didn't dare to have such a beautiful fantasy. "It's better to be prepared than not to be afraid of a thousand. Besides, even if it's not for exchanging the child, we can't leave a woman who is pregnant with the Sixth Prince's child wandering around. It will be a trouble sooner or later."

"But even if we find one, how are we going to replace it in the future?" Jinxiu really didn't think highly of Xiao's plan. "The third young lady is in the Prince Su's Courtyard, which has become the new Prince Su's Palace, and the security is several times stricter than before. I went there several times to see the third young lady, but was blocked by the servants there. It's too difficult for us to replace the child under this circumstance."

Xiao took a deep breath, "I know it's difficult, but everything depends on human effort. I'll think about it again. There will always be a way."

As soon as the Mao hour arrives, those who couldn't sleep at night because of thinking about this and that, can no longer hold on at this time and fall asleep in a daze.

Ye Chulian was called up and forced to wear a thin skirt and stand barefoot on the cold ground in the yard. The person who called her up was a dance master invited by the mansion for her, a woman in her forties named Gui Xi.

She looks quite young, and seems to be about 30. But even at 30, it is no longer the best age for women, especially for those who are good at dancing. At this age, even if you keep your figure graceful and your face flawless, you can't resist the invasion of time on your body.

Because I just can’t keep up physically.

Just as Gui Xi said, "When I was your age, I could dance for a whole day without taking a breath. But now I can't do that anymore. I'm exhausted after two hours at most, and it takes at least two days to recover. So you must learn what you should learn and do what you should do while you are young, find a good family, and marry a good person. Only in this way can you live up to this life and live up to your family's cultivation of you."
