Chapter 351 What Happened That Year

Tang begged bitterly, "Although your grandmother didn't tell you what the secret is, she has already mentioned it. The fourth lady is a smart person and will definitely be able to follow this clue. I really can't stay in Beijing. It's a serious crime to pour out the patient's medicine and deliberately make the patient angry to death. What's more, the patient is a first-class general who has made great achievements. This is an even greater crime. I don't ask for rewards from entering the palace. I only ask the fourth lady to keep my family safe, or just protect me and my children and grandchildren. As for your uncle and the old lady in your house, you can do whatever you want, the Jiang family will definitely not care."

Ye Wenyan glanced at her and asked, "Aunt really didn't find out what the secret is?"

Tang shook her head. "I really didn't ask her. She already suspected me and refused to tell me no matter how I asked."

"Then why don't you try to guess?" "Guess?" Tang really didn't understand what Ye Wenyan was thinking. Is there any way to guess about this? She shook her head, "I can't guess. I don't meet her very often, and I haven't been to Lin'an City for many years."

"Then guess about the past." Ye Wenyan said, "My aunt asked me to protect your family, but she only asked for half of the answer for me. It's too unrealistic to ask me to save your life with such a small chip. Why not add a few more bets and talk about the old lady's past and analyze for me what kind of secret she had to reveal to anger my grandfather to death."

Ye Wenyan started walking as if taking a walk while talking, and Tang had no choice but to follow him. They followed him to a small garden. It was already March, and the grass on the ground was beginning to sprout. Although the weather in Lin'an was still very cold, it was much warmer than the first and twelfth months. Ye Wenyan lowered his head and looked at the grass, thinking that maybe in half a month, he could go to the mountains outside the city to sow flower seeds.

I wonder if there are any wild flower seeds for sale in Lin'an. The expensive potted ones are not suitable for large-scale planting on the mountain. Wild flowers are necessary. She uses flowers to stimulate spirits. It doesn't matter what kind of flowers she uses. As long as they are real flowers and there are enough of them, her spirit power can be stimulated to the extreme.

Ye Wenyan was thinking about something in his mind, and Tang Shi didn't speak for a long time, but she was not idle either. She was thinking about what Ye Wenyan meant when he asked her to guess the past.

In fact, Ye Wenyan didn't know what happened in the past, she just said it casually. What kind of thing could make a person die of anger? Since I can't think of it, I can only cast a wide net and catch fish.

The place where the knife had stabbed her heart started to hurt again, and the coldness that didn't have the temperature of a living person started to rise again. The warm jade that Master Liyuan had given her couldn't suppress it anymore. Ye Wenyan started to shiver uncontrollably, and Zhuier was so scared that her face turned pale.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Zhuier asked in a low voice, while using his body to separate Ye Wenyan and Tang.

Ye Wenyan shook his head, "It's okay, just a little cold, go get me a cloak!" Zhuier was worried, "Miss, how can you stay here alone? Why don't we go back together?"

She shook her head, "It's okay, no one can hurt me."

Zhuier couldn't persuade her, so he had to run as fast as he could so that he could come back earlier.

Ye Wenyan's face became paler and paler. His face, which was already bloodless, now turned pale and almost blue.

She knew that this was the reaction of this body. Although it did not come from herself, because this body was now used by her, these reactions were real empathy for her.

She could feel the anger and grief of this body, and she could also feel the indignation in her own heart. The combination of the two was very powerful.

Tang was also shocked when she saw her like this, and wanted to ask her what happened, but Ye Wenyan spoke first: "What kind of thing can make a man angry to death?" This question was asked to Tang, and Tang was slightly stunned. "If one day my uncle was angry to death by something, what do you think that thing is?"

After being reminded by her, Tang took the initiative to put this matter into her own situation. Soon, she was emotionally involved. Thinking of Jiang Shuo and her own children and grandchildren, she quickly gave Ye Wenyan an answer - "Your uncle and I only have one son, and our son only has one son. He is the root of our Jiang family and the one your uncle values the most. If he can be angry to death about something, it is..."

Mrs. Tang's eyes suddenly widened. "Then I can only tell him that Jiang Hang is not his biological son. If his son is not his biological son, then his grandson is even less his biological son. He has lived to this age, and if his son is not his biological son, it means that he will have no descendants."

At this point, Tang took a deep breath and said, "Fourth Miss, do you suspect that your grandfather was angered to death by such a thing? But your grandmother..." She couldn't continue because she remembered something.

That was many years ago, before the Jiang family rescued General Ye, and before she married into the Jiang family. She and Jiang Xiu were still sisters and often visited each other's homes.

Once, Jiang Xiu told her that if she ever got married in the future, she must marry a scholar. She would accompany the scholar to study hard, hoping that the scholar would pass the imperial examination one day and become a disciple of the emperor like her father.

The Jiang family has three generations of literary people, and the Jiang family's pursuit of imperial examinations is passed down from their ancestors, so Jiang Xiu has always dreamed of marrying into a scholarly family in the future, supporting her husband and raising children, first accompanying her husband to study, and then accompanying her children to study in the future.

But she didn't expect that the Jiang family would be involved with the Ye family and have such a fate. She always thought that Jiang Xiu happily married into the Ye family because she was really attracted by the power of the Ye family and the character and appearance of General Ye. But she forgot that Jiang Xiu actually looked down on warriors from the bottom of her heart and always said that warriors were just ruffians and could not be compared with scholars.

There was another thing. Jiang Xiu seemed to have been very close to a handsome scholar. Although many years had passed and she had forgotten some of the details, she vaguely remembered that Jiang Xiu had asked her to cover up twice in order to meet the scholar. Every time she came back, her face was flushed, and it was obvious that she was a young lady who had fallen in love with him and would not marry anyone else.

But after the incident with the Ye family, no one mentioned the scholar anymore. It seemed that the scholar left Xiushan County overnight and was never seen again. She looked for him several times later, but couldn't find him.

He was indeed a very handsome scholar. Tang knew that she had been attracted to him, but the scholar only liked Jiang Xiu, and she cried for this. Later, the scholar disappeared and she couldn't find him. Her family introduced Jiang Xiu's younger brother Jiang Shuo to her. She thought that the Jiang family was also a big family in Xiushan County, and they were related to the Ye family in Beijing. She would be considered marrying a rich man if she married him.

So she happily waited to marry Jiang Shuo, and gradually gave up on the scholar.

But where did the scholar go? How far did he and Jiang Xiu develop? Why did Jiang Xiu's face flush when she came back from every private meeting with the scholar? A lot of doubts came in. I was ignorant of the things back then, but now I am an experienced person, so I naturally understand more clearly. But the more I understand, the more scared I am. If Jiang Xiu is really so bold, I am afraid that Ye Wenyan will not be able to save the lives of Jiang's family!

Ye Wenyan stared at Tang, his eyes like an eagle, "What did Aunt Grandma think of?"

Tang shuddered and subconsciously tried to deny it, but Ye Wenyan suddenly stretched out a hand and pressed it on her head. His five fingers were like iron pliers, constantly exerting pressure on her head. She felt like her head was about to be crushed by Ye Wenyan!

"Fourth, Fourth Miss, what are you doing? Let me go, it hurts so much, my head is going to explode!"

Ye Wenyan ignored her words and just told her: "If I want to know, there are naturally ways I can know, but that method is more violent, so I don't want my aunt to make that choice."

"You, do you want to kill me?" "Why not?" Ye Wenyan smiled with the corners of his lips curled. "Killing is something that everyone in our Ye family does, from my grandfather to my father, and then to my grandmother. The number of people killed ranges from tens of thousands to a few or dozens. Why can't I inherit their legacy? So, aunt, you better speak up. If you speak up, I can keep you safe. How great is that."

Tang gave up struggling completely, because she saw the approach of death in Ye Wenyan's eyes. She had no doubt that this little girl would suddenly crush her head, and she had no doubt that even if she died in the general's mansion, no one would be able to do anything to the Ye family. Just like Ye Wenyan said, this family was too familiar with dealing with the dead.

"I said……"

Tang talked about the past, describing the story of Jiang Xiu and the scholar in detail. She told everything she could remember, and made reasonable guesses about what she couldn't remember. She even analyzed in the end: "If your grandfather knew that his son was not his, but the result of your grandmother's affair with someone else, he would be so angry that he would die at his age. What kind of person is he! He is a first-rank general, respected by the entire Northern Qi, and the royal family is three points shorter than him. How could he bear such humiliation?"

Ye Wenyan loosened his grip on Tang's hand, and Zhuier also came back with his cloak.

Even with the cloak draped over his shoulders, it still couldn't keep out the bone-chilling cold, nor the heart-wrenching pain where the knife had stabbed him.

"Aunt, please go back to Xiushan!" She reached into her sleeves, using the wide sleeves to cover her, and took out a five-hundred-liang silver note from her storage bracelet. "Take the silver note. As for what happens next, as long as you and your children and grandchildren are not involved in the death of my grandfather and father, I will keep my word and save your lives."

Tang almost knelt down to her, took the banknote and kept thanking her, but Ye Wenyan had already walked away amid her thanks.
