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

Chapter 332 Covering the Tree

Some servants wanted to stop her, and some wanted to ask Ye Qingmei why she did this, but in the end, they just thought about it and no one really dared. Because the fourth lady, Ye Wenyan, was sitting in the yard drinking tea, and if she saw any servant trying to stop her, she would say, "Whoever stops her doesn't want the old lady to get better quickly, has bad intentions, and will be kicked out of the general's mansion."

The servants really didn't understand what this meant, so a brave one asked, "But if the old lady doesn't take medicine, won't her recovery be slower?"

Ye Wenyan shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, although I don't understand why it is correct to pour out the medicine, but this is a trick I learned from my grandmother! When my grandfather was seriously ill, my grandmother did this. Tell me, if it wasn't because it would make the illness heal faster, why would my grandmother do this? Wouldn't that be murder?" The servants were shocked and recalled the days when the old general was seriously ill. But they didn't see the old lady pouring out the old general's medicine. They only knew that the old general was getting sicker and sicker, and it was very strange. Even the imperial physician said that if he took the medicine on time, it shouldn't be like this. This situation is like a person who has never taken medicine and allowed his condition to worsen.

At that time, the old lady became anxious and pointed out that the imperial physician's medical skills were poor, because how could he not give the old general medicine? She had always been the one who served him personally and fed him every mouthful of medicine with her own hands, never letting others do it.

After hearing this, the doctor left without saying anything. After all, the old general was too sick to speak at the time and could only lie on the couch and gasp for air, so even if he asked, he could not get any information. But someone remembered that when the doctor was sent out of the mansion, he seemed to hear the doctor mutter something, which was really like not taking medicine. Another time, the doctor muttered that there was a smell of medicine under the big tree in the yard.

No one paid attention to it at the time, because the old general had to boil several doses of medicine every day, and it was normal for the yard to smell like medicine. But now thinking about it, it seems that something is wrong. Because the imperial physician emphasized that the smell of medicine was under the tree, not in the yard.

The servants looked at each other, and suddenly understood what the fourth young lady meant. This understanding made them even more frightened, thinking that something big might happen at home. But no one dared to say anything or ask, so they could only watch Ye Wenyan sitting in the yard, and then the person who took care of the sick changed from Ye Qingmei to Ye Chulian, and each of them poured out the old lady's medicine.

In fact, the old lady had already woken up by then, and had tried to resist and scolded the act of pouring out the medicine. Because every time before pouring out the medicine, her granddaughters would ask the servants to bring the medicine into the house first, and then say in front of her: "You don't have to drink the medicine, pouring it out will cure the disease better. Just pour it under a big tree in Fuluyuan, it is a sacred tree, as long as you take good care of it, grandma's illness will naturally be cured." Especially Ye Chulian also freely said - "Grandfather's spirit in heaven will bless you."

The old lady was so scared that her face turned pale. She wanted to ask something but didn't dare to. The two granddaughters obviously knew something. If she asked something and got caught, it would be fatal.

Ye Qingmei and Ye Chulian are in charge during the day, and the person who takes care of the patient at night is Ye Wenyan.

The old lady's scalp went numb when she saw Ye Wenyan. She really wanted to fall asleep quickly and sleep until dawn. She would rather face Ye Qingmei and Ye Chulian than her fourth granddaughter.

But her fourth granddaughter wouldn't let her sleep, and sat next to her and told her ghost stories.

That's right, it's a ghost story, especially to her, it's really a ghost story.

Ye Wenyan said: "My granddaughter has been dreaming these days. I dreamed that my grandfather was sitting under a big tree in Fuluyuan, and he kept sighing at the roots of the tree, saying that the trees had a better life than him, and the trees had medicine to eat, but he didn't. I asked him, "What medicine should I take if I'm not sick?" Grandfather said, "How can I not be sick? I'm very sick and my whole body is uncomfortable." Fortunately, the imperial physician came and wrote a prescription, saying that as long as I take the medicine on time, I will get better. I wanted to take the medicine quickly, but I couldn't take the medicine! The medicine was poured under the tree. Yan'er, do you think this tree is also sick? Is it sick with me?"

The old lady felt a little cold and huddled back into the quilt. Ye Wenyan glanced at her, smiled and stretched out her hand, pulling the quilt halfway open again. "It's not good for your health to cover yourself with too thick a quilt. If you want to get well soon, you have to pay attention to everything. By the way, I think the big tree outside is also cold. Why don't you cover yourself with this quilt and cover the tree with it!" She really did what she said, and took off the quilt covering the old lady, and walked out with it.

"What on earth are you going to do?" the old lady said anxiously, "Do you want to freeze me to death?"

Ye Wenyan turned around and smiled, "Grandma, you don't really want to know what I'm going to do, right?"

The old lady shuddered and said nothing.

She really didn't want to know, because if she didn't tell him about it, she could still play dumb and keep it a muddled story. But if she asked too many questions and forced Ye Wenyan to tell the truth, it would be a completely different matter.

Ye Wenyan left the house and handed the quilt in his hand to Zhuier who was standing outside, and ordered loudly: "Go and take the quilt to the bottom of the big tree and cover it well. Don't let the tree get frozen. The tree is the lifeblood of the old lady, and it is more important than your own life."

Zhuier did it without thinking and quickly surrounded the big tree.

Most of the servants in Fuluyuan were still awake. Everyone was curious about what the Fourth Young Lady was going to do, and everyone wanted to see what tricks the Fourth Young Lady could come up with. As expected, when they saw the tree being covered with a blanket, someone whispered, "Will the tree be fed tomorrow?"

Ye Wenyan heard this and nodded immediately: "You really reminded me, let's do this tomorrow!"

The next morning, the old lady was so cold that she was crying. A maid brought porridge into the house. The old lady was about to say that she would drink a bowl of it to warm her up, but she heard Ye Wenyan say, "Grandma can't drink this porridge. The tree hasn't even drunk it, so how can you compete with the tree? Think about it, who is the most important in the general's mansion? Of course it's the tree! Grandfather couldn't compete with it before, do you think your status in the family is higher than that of grandfather? That's impossible."

As she spoke, she looked at the maid who brought in the porridge and ordered, "Take it out to Zhuier and let her feed the tree."

The maid felt that this room was becoming more and more eerie. She didn’t want to stay there any longer, so she took the porridge and turned to leave.

The old lady was so angry that she kept cursing behind him, but her scolding did not get anyone back. She only heard Zhuier's voice coming from outside: "Don't worry, old lady, I will definitely take good care of the big tree, and it will be worth your love for it!"

When it came to the morning and evening visits, although the etiquette was waived, the old lady was ill after all, so the women in the mansion had to come to visit her.

The first person to arrive was Xiao. As soon as she came in, she saw Zhuier scooping porridge one spoonful at a time and pouring it under a big tree.

Xiao turned and left.

This scene scared her, because she had seen a similar scene before. It was Jun Tao who did it, and the person who poured it was the old general's medicine.

That time she also chose to turn around and leave, and later kept the matter to herself, not even telling Ye Jingsheng.

She thought the old lady had successfully concealed the truth, but she didn't expect to see this scene today. Was this a coincidence or intentional? Was it because no one ate the bowl of porridge and it was just dumped casually, or was it someone's order?

Xiao took a deep breath. Of course, she was ordered to do so. She was Ye Wenyan's maid, so of course she had to listen to Ye Wenyan's words.

But how did Ye Wenyan know about this? Could it be that he also accidentally saw it like himself?

Impossible. With Ye Wenyan's personality, if she had really seen it by accident before, she would have made a scene long ago and would never have tolerated it until now. But if that was not the case, who told her about this?

Xiao was feeling nervous the whole day, and the person who was just as nervous as her was her aunt Tang who lived in the guest house.

Tang also went to visit the old lady during the day. She didn't see Zhuier feeding the tree, but she saw Zhuier pouring medicine under the tree. Tang rushed over and asked Zhuier, "What are you doing? This is the medicine boiled for your old lady to cure her illness. How dare you pour it under the tree? Are you crazy, maid? I will beat you to death today!"

As she spoke, she raised her hand and slapped Zhuier on the head.

If it were in the past, Zhuier would have definitely taken the beating, but now it's different. After following Ye Wenyan, she not only became bolder, but also more powerful. Before Tang's slap could land, the little maid had already dodged, without spilling the soup in her hand. At the same time, she reminded the other party: "Pour the patient's medicine under this big tree. This is the rule of our first-rank general's mansion. Aunt, do you want to be the master of our Ye family again? Then how about I go buy another plaque? It's just that the jewelry you paid for last time is a bit of a waste. I should have known that the plaque would not be smashed. What are you going to use to pay for the silver this time?"

Tang raised her hand and put it down again, not because of the plaque and jewelry, but because of what Zhuier said. Is it the rule of the First-class General's Mansion to throw away the patient's medicine? Last time, Ye Wenyan seemed to have said the same thing, asking her if it was the rule of the Jiang family. She didn't understand it at the time, but now thinking about it, she has a little insight.

The person who had the closest relationship with the Jiang family was her eldest sister-in-law, Old Madam Ye, so the question Ye Wenyan asked at that time was directed at Old Madam Ye. What she meant was that Old Madam Ye had poured out the patient's medicine and fell under the big tree.

Now Ye Wenyan's maid has also spilled Old Madam Ye's medicine, which is a tit-for-tat.

Who could make Ye Wenyan risk a reputation of being unfilial to do this? And who could be sick enough for Old Madam Ye to take care of him personally?

It’s definitely not possible for anyone else. The only possibility is her brother-in-law, General Ye, who died of a serious illness!

Tang was scared. She felt that there was something wrong with this first-class general's mansion. There was something seriously wrong. She couldn't stay here any longer. She had to run away...
