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

Chapter 331 Ah Yan, Don't Be Careless

On the fifteenth day of February, Ye Wenyan temporarily lost his spiritual power, so the task of competing with the tree was left to Shi Liyuan.

The Emperor lived up to expectations and stood in Fulu Courtyard for half an hour, successfully scaring the old lady into falling ill.

In fact, according to common sense, the old lady would definitely fall ill in the end, and then have a mental breakdown. After all, Ye Wenyan had this idea, to wait for her mental breakdown, so that he could get valuable words out of her.

But the old lady seemed to be getting stronger and stronger these days, and it was impossible for her to get sick so quickly.

But no matter how many impossibilities there are, they will become possible in front of Lord Emperor. After all, Lord Emperor does not have the patience to wait for the women to chop down the trees, break off the branches, chop them into wood, and then pile them in the yard.

He felt that this series of operations took too long. He had to go back to look after their son, Ah Yan, so how could he have the time to play house with a bunch of old ladies?

So the Emperor personally pulled up the tree by the roots, slammed it on the door of the old lady's room, and chopped the branches into pieces. The whole operation was done neatly and quickly in just a few breaths.

The old lady ran out after hearing the noise. When she came out, she was dumbfounded. How could the tree fall down by itself when it hadn't been chopped down yet? How could it be broken into pieces by itself when the maids hadn't even started?

She was so frightened that she fainted, Jun Tao also fainted, and the old women also fainted.

When I woke up again, the tree was still standing there, except for the mud at the door, which was brought out when the tree was uprooted.

The old lady couldn't stand it anymore. She began to suspect that there was really a ghost in the yard. She even thought that the dead General Ye had come back to life to take her life.

The old lady was frightened and finally fell ill. Not only she was sick, but Jun Tao was also sick.

After all, two people did the bad thing together, and the ghost would not just take revenge on the old lady.

When Shi Liyuan told Ye Wenyan about these things, there was some disdain in his eyes. He asked Ye Wenyan: "You don't seem to be a hesitant person, why are you so gentle in dealing with these things of the Ye family? According to me, just search their souls directly, and then slap them to death. This kind of person is not worth dying for, there is no need to care about them."

Ye Wenyan lay on the couch on her side, her hands still tugging at his wide sleeves, and said in a daze: "No, I have to make sure they are awake when they confess, so that the truth can be made public. Even if such people are to be killed, they cannot be killed secretly, as that would be too unfair to the dead. Their crimes must be made public, so that I can fulfill Fourth Miss Ye's instructions, and my body can return to normal human temperature." Shi Liyuan stopped talking to her, and just reached out and touched her head.

Although he was in a daze, his forehead and cheeks were cold, as if he were dead.

He was really distressed. "Then let's investigate slowly. Both generals of the Ye family died in unclear circumstances. Finding out the truth will be an explanation to the people of the world. But you must be careful. If they can kill one or two, it won't be a big deal if they kill a third one. The First-Rank General's Mansion is full of dangers and everyone is not as simple as they seem. I also know that you always leave Ji Nu with the Madam because you are afraid that they will take over the Madam's room when you are not around, so I sent Ji Duo and Ji Rong to you. You have to promise me that no matter where you go, you will take those two with you. Don't always take a maid who doesn't know martial arts with you. If something really happens, she won't be able to protect you."

Ye Wenyan laughed when he heard this, "Except for the fifteenth of every month, I don't usually need anyone to take care of me."

"Don't be careless." He reminded her, "People's hearts are hidden, and not everyone can be easily trusted." "Who are you talking about?" She heard the hidden meaning in his words, "It seems that you are talking about the people around me. Which one has a problem?"

Shi Liyuan stared at her for a while and sighed softly, "It's not a problem now, but in the future. When personal interests conflict one day, if you don't invest too much emotion, you won't be too sad because of your family's departure. Ah Yan, I actually don't approve of you making your identity clear to your family, because once it is made clear, you are already an outsider to them. They may even think that if you hadn't come, the original Fourth Miss Ye might not have died."

She opened her eyes and looked at him, "Will it be like this?" Then she smiled bitterly, "I have thought about these things, but it doesn't matter. Saying it is a kind of attitude. When they treat me as an outsider, they are also outsiders to me. Don't worry, when that day comes, I will leave in a cool and elegant way, without any dragging of feet."

She fell into a deep sleep, and Shi Liyuan stayed by her side, letting her hold his sleeves until dawn.

When it was daybreak, he did not leave. He just changed his posture, leaning back on the cushion, letting the girl's soft face press against his side. He stroked her hair with one hand, then used his spiritual power to transmit his voice and called Nanny Ji to come in.

Nanny Ji was startled when she received the voice transmission out of the blue. She hurried in and found that the Emperor was really on the Fourth Miss's couch.

Madam Ji smiled kindly and told Shi Liyuan, "There's news from Fuluyuan that the old lady is ill, so we can continue to exempt her from the morning and evening visits. Your Excellency the Emperor can spend more time with the Fourth Miss. There are old servants guarding outside, so it's absolutely safe."

Shi Liyuan nodded and reminded her: "Don't let anyone in unless it's necessary."

Madam Ji took the order and left, and successfully stopped everyone, including Zhuier and Xiangdong, from entering the door. The reason was: "The young lady has something to do in the secret room, and no one is allowed to disturb her."

Zhuier and Xiangdong knew that there were two underground floors in the courtyard, so they did not doubt it and even guarded the house with Nanny Ji until midnight, when Ye Wenyan finally opened the door. Nanny Ji smiled lovingly, Zhuier kept winking at her, but Xiangdong was the only one who did not understand what was going on. She just thought that her young lady was really busy all day, so she quickly asked her if she was hungry, saying that the food was being heated on the stove and would be served soon.

Ye Wenyan didn't say anything polite. He had a good meal, sent the servants back to sleep, and then strolled towards Fulu Courtyard again.

The old lady and Jun Tao were both frightened to death, and the maids gave up chopping trees. When Ye Wenyan arrived, he heard two maids who were on night watch talking. One of them, who was thinner, said, "Instead of moving the courtyard, it is better to invite a monk to perform a ritual. We have to solve the problem fundamentally. Can ghosts stop haunting us by moving to another courtyard? The ghost was originally a member of the general's mansion, and he was the owner. Is there any place in the mansion that he can't go to? So I think I have to persuade the old lady tomorrow to perform a ritual. That's the right thing to do."

Another fatter woman said, "It must cost a lot of money to perform the ritual. The old lady is not well off, and the public office is also said to be in a tight spot. It is even more impossible for the second lady to come up with money. How can this ritual be performed?" The thin woman sighed, "The First-rank General's Mansion was so glorious in the past, how come it has become like this after the old general and the general left? Isn't it declining too quickly?"

"Hmph, come to think of it, it was all caused by the Fourth Miss. If it weren't for her, the General's Mansion would still be the same as before."

"Not necessarily!" The thin woman sighed again, "Even if there is no fourth young lady, there is still no money in the treasury. The money of the Ye family has almost been drained by the Jiang family. One day, the old lady may say that there is no money to support us."

"Then let's go." The fat woman was not reluctant to leave. "We are not assassins, nor even secret guards. We are just taking people and money to help others get rid of disasters. At best, we are thugs. If Madam Ye can't pay the money, then the employment relationship is over. Then we will go our separate ways and no one owes anyone anything."

"Do you really think you can get out of the First-Rank General's Mansion?" The thin woman was not optimistic. "We have been under the old lady's command for more than 30 years. We know too many things and have done too many things. How could she let us go so easily?" "What do we know?" The fat woman laughed. "What we know are all insignificant things, such as how the old lady teamed up with the second lady and wanted to use the third lady to replace the fourth lady. For example, the old lady dealt with the old general's three concubines in the past 30 years, and one of them was pregnant. These things don't sound good, but now think about it, do you think they are really important? In fact, they are not important, and it doesn't matter even if they are told to others."

The thin woman thought about it and nodded, "You are right. None of us have access to the real secrets. For example, why did they cut down the trees? It seems absurd to us, but the old lady insisted on doing it for so many days. There must be something going on, and it must not be known to others. I will listen to you. If one day the old lady can't come up with the money, we will leave."

Ye Wenyan was a little disappointed. She thought these maids would know something, but she didn't expect the old lady to hide it so well. It seems that the only person who knows the truth is Jun Tao, besides the old lady herself.

Ye Wenyan went back and had a good sleep. The next morning, he summoned Ye Qingmei and Ye Chulian, and went to Fuluyuan under the pretext of visiting the old lady.

Because the old lady fainted so quickly and didn't leave any words, and Jun Tao was also ill, no one in the courtyard dared to stop them. Moreover, Ye Wenyan said, "We are the younger generation, so it is natural for us to come and visit our grandmother when she is ill. And not only to visit, from today on, we will take turns to stay and take care of her until she recovers."

According to age, the one who stayed on the first day was Ye Qingmei.

The eldest daughter of the Ye family, who had always been the most docile and sensible, has now changed her temperament. Not only is she no longer docile, she also asked her maid Ruizhu to take the medicine boiled by the servants of Fuluyuan to the yard and pour it out under the big tree that had been chopped down.

The servants in Fuluyuan were all confused. Could it be that the eldest lady was crazy?
