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

Chapter 336 Either He Dies or I Die

Ye Wenyan could understand Ye Chulian's joy very well.

In fact, the young ladies living in the deep mansions have nothing to do all day long. They either embroider or feed fish, or they compete openly or secretly with their sisters.

If you don't like these, your life will become more and more boring.

Ye Chulian is a girl with a clear goal. Although the future is still unclear, at least she knows that she can no longer let her family arrange her life. So she has to find a way out for herself, find a backer, and prepare for her future.

What about Ye Wenyan? She doesn't care who she relies on. As long as the other person is sincere, it doesn't matter if she lends him a shoulder to lean on. Humans are social animals and can't survive independently. Even for her, she would like to have good friends and sisters around her. This is the fireworks of the world, and she won't feel that she is the only one who is isolated in this world.

She comforted Ye Chulian: "Don't worry, I will prepare both the place and the money for you. But since you are going out to work, you still have to go through the hurdle of family. So we have to find a way to let Second Uncle allow you to go out more often."

Ye Chulian was a little depressed after hearing this. "I have been going out a lot recently, but I always went out under the name of my fourth sister. In addition, there were many things to do at home, so my father and the second wife didn't pay attention to me, which allowed me to take advantage of the opportunity. But if I want to make wine, I may have to go out more often, and I will be discovered sooner or later. I really need to think about this carefully, and I must not let my father know that I am working for my fourth sister." Ye Chulian was very cautious. "He is greedy and bad, and I don't know what ideas he will come up with when the time comes."

Ye Wenyan nodded, "No rush, the clinic will take some time to build. After we finish dealing with the family affairs in the next few days, we will make some time to plan it carefully. Don't worry, as long as we are willing to think, there will always be a way." In Fulu Courtyard, after being tricked by Ye Wenyan and Zhuier, Tang turned around and tricked the old lady.

She brought a plate of snacks and sat beside the old lady's couch, talking over and over again about her past in Xiushan County.

She said, "Do you remember when we were young? We were both unmarried at that time, and I said that if you were to marry in the future, you had to marry into a well-known family, not for anything else, just so that my parents could walk with their backs straight in Xiushan County. You said that it was boring to live in Xiushan County, and that women had to marry high-ranking people. The highest place in Northern Qi was the capital, and you had to marry to the capital. In fact, our wishes have been fulfilled. You married into the capital, and I married into your Jiang family. You definitely married high-ranking people, and our family also has a place in Xiushan County. You can tell how good life is now, and everything is going so well."

The old lady groaned twice while lying on the couch and said unhappily, "Shunxin? You see, I call myself Shunxin every day?"

"You are angry with the children. I am also worried about the younger generation when I return home! These are all trivial matters. The most important thing is that the man is good. Although my brother-in-law is gone, at least he gave you a good life when he was here and didn't let you suffer. That's enough!"

The old lady was still not happy, "What do you mean by not suffering? Having good food and clothes means not suffering? You are really... a person from a small place with no vision, you only know how to guard your own little piece of land, you are short-sighted. Why didn't he make me suffer? Do you know how I have been through these years? He was fighting outside, and I was the only one who took care of everything at home and outside, which was fine, after all, every family is managed by a woman. But he was not honest outside, he actually kept a concubine for me, and she even had a child! He brought the concubine home when he came back from the war, isn't this deliberately humiliating me?"

Tang knew about this because one year when the old general returned to the capital, a woman came with him, and she was holding a child less than one year old. Afterwards, the old lady told her family about this and was so angry that she threw things and kept scolding the old general as a piece of shit, and even scolded the woman as a bitch and the child as a bastard. But...

"You didn't let them in either! I heard the child didn't live long either."

"Humph! This is my home. Why should I let someone who comes from nowhere in? If the old man has the guts, why don't he hide her outside for the rest of her life? Isn't it just to make trouble for me by bringing her back to the capital? He doesn't even care about the relationship between husband and wife. Why can't I fight back?"

"The child died in your hands?"

"Yes, he was poisoned. I was the one who sent someone to push the woman into the icy lake and drown her." The old lady did not shy away from this matter at all. After all, the old general was dead, and no one would pursue the matter even if it was revealed.

After hearing this, Tang pondered for a while and asked, "Is this why you hate your brother-in-law?"

The old lady frowned, "That's not the case. I don't hate him, but life is getting more and more boring. He is away all year round, sometimes he comes back once a year, sometimes once every two years, and sometimes even once every three years. It was only later when we had grandchildren and he was old that he came back more frequently. But what was the point of coming back then? I am not as energetic as I used to be. Life is the same with or without him. On the contrary, I feel awkward with him. It is better to be alone." The old lady talked about the past, becoming more and more annoyed. Finally, she waved her hand and said, "Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you."

"I don't understand. So, just tell me, sister. Just let it all out." Mrs. Tang continued to ask her questions, "When we were in Xiushan before, you told me everything."

"That's different." The old lady shook her head, "Some things, knowing too much is not good for you."

Tang laughed when she heard this. "Look at what you said. What? I know a lot, but someone wants to kill me to silence me? What kind of thing is worth doing such a big deal? Could it be that you killed my brother-in-law?"

When she said this, she suddenly covered her mouth, with a look of fear in her eyes. It took her a long time to speak again. She asked the old lady tremblingly: "The other day, the fourth girl suddenly mentioned the matter of pouring out the medicine, and asked if this was the rule of the Jiang family. I didn't understand it at the time. But today I saw that they poured all your medicine under the big tree. Could it be her revenge? Sister Xiu, when she said pouring out the medicine, did she mean that you poured out your brother-in-law's medicine? You poured out your brother-in-law's medicine and left him with no medicine to take, so he died? My sister Xiu, this can't be true?"

Half of these words were used to get the old lady to tell the truth, and half were also inferred by Mrs. Tang while chatting.

After reasoning, Tang was also shocked. His fear was no longer pretended, but real.

If her reasoning was correct, then Madam Jiang Xiu was guilty of murdering her husband, who was a general of the Northern Qi Dynasty. This was not a family matter, but a state matter. State affairs would involve the entire family. Once this matter was exposed, she would not be able to escape unless she divorced Jiang Shuo.

Tang was worried and her face was not very good. But the old lady was already immersed in hatred and didn't notice it at all.

Hearing Tang's question, she sneered and laughed for a long time. She neither admitted nor denied it, but just kept saying over and over again: "Either he dies or I die, either he dies or I die! I can't die, I still have Jingsheng, and I have to take care of my son. None of us can die, so he will be the only one left!" Tang couldn't ask any more questions, because the old lady kept repeating these words like a madman.

She stepped out of the room and saw Nanny Ji standing outside. Tang thought Nanny Ji would take her away for questioning, but Nanny Ji ignored her and went into the room to see the old lady.

Tang quickly ran back to the guest house, thinking over and over again in her mind what to do about this matter and how she could protect herself.

After thinking about it, she found that there was really only one way, which was divorce, or to save her life, she could just let Jiang Shuo divorce her. She didn't care about her face, as long as she could live. As for Ye Wenyan's promise to let her enter the palace, she felt that she should not accept this favor, and it would be better to exchange this favor for another. She didn't want to enter the palace, nor did she want the emperor's reward. She only asked Ye Wenyan to save her life. As long as she could not die, it would be fine. As for her sons and grandsons, she no longer cared about them. After all, they were all members of the Jiang family. This was fate!

Tang thought about all this and hurriedly left the guest house to find Ye Wenyan, telling her everything she had said to the old lady. Then she begged, "Fourth Miss, can you save my life? I can't die with the Jiang family!"

Ye Wenyan asked her, "Are you sure that my grandfather died at the hands of the old lady?"

"How else could she have died?" Tang stamped her feet. "Fourth Miss, let's not beat around the bush. You know the truth about this matter, otherwise you wouldn't have poured out all her medicine. You are a junior, and you are doing this in the name of being unfilial. Who would do this without a deep hatred? Fourth Miss, you are a perceptive person. Your grandfather's death is very clear."

Ye Wenyan nodded, "It's very clear now. The person must have died in her hands. But there are two things I don't understand."

"What two points?"

"First, why would she do this? Second, I don't believe that someone could die without taking medicine. My grandfather was in good health and was a military commander, so he had excellent physical fitness. He could get through minor illnesses without taking medicine. Even if it was a serious illness, he wouldn't die so quickly. So there must be something else going on here, and these are the things I hope my aunt can help me find out."

"I...Isn't it enough that I asked so many questions?"

Ye Wenyan shook his head, "Not enough, or you didn't find out anything. The matter between the concubine and the child has long been known to us in the mansion, and even we young people have heard about it. So these things are not of much value to me. I want my aunt to ask some things I don't know, and it would be best if she could find out the key to my grandfather's death. Don't worry, take your time. If one day doesn't work, then two days. If two days don't work, then ten days. My aunt lives in the mansion anyway, so just go and accompany her every day."
