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

Chapter 36 Pay back all the sins I have suffered

Early the next morning, Dannuo, the maidservant of Madam Mu, came with several sheets of paper in her hands, which were filled with the names of the things that had been lost from the rooms in the East Courtyard.

Some were written by Ye Feiyu, some were written by Ye Qingmei, and some were written by Mu himself, but none were written by Ye Lianmian.

Danno said, "The second young lady doesn't know about this. Madam wants us not to tell her yet, lest she tells the old lady and cause trouble."

Ye Wenyan nodded and said to Dannuo, "Father passed away not long ago, you must pay more attention to mother and don't let her be too sad. The family is in such a mess right now. If she gets sick because of being too sad, I'm afraid the mansion won't even hire a doctor for her."

Dannuo sighed, "Miss Fourth is right. We will definitely take good care of Madam, so don't worry! But Madam has been worried about you. Before she came here, she asked us to ask if you need anything."

She shook her head. "I don't lack anything. Even if I do, my mother can't give me anything now. But it doesn't matter. These are temporary. Go back and tell your mother that although father is gone, we still have to live our lives and live well. This situation won't last long. One day we will get back what belongs to us. Tell her not to be pessimistic."

Danno took note of the words, and left in a hurry without staying any longer.

Zhuier secretly picked another bunch of flowers and brought them to her. The little girl looked unhappy. She asked what happened and Zhuier said, "I came back from picking flowers and was caught by Sister Xichun as soon as I entered the yard. She stared at the flowers and asked me what I was going to do with them. I said I was going to bring them back for the young lady to fumigate the house. She said there was a big funeral going on in the palace and the mansion and flowers could not be used. She slapped them and dropped half of them on the ground. I originally picked more than these, but they were all wasted."

Ye Wenyan stood up and stood by the window. Through the half-open window, he saw Xichun picking up the petals that had fallen on the ground. He picked one and put it on his hair a few times, then happily put it in his pocket and went to the backyard.

Zhuier was so angry: "She said that the young lady shouldn't use flowers, but she herself used them vigorously. What kind of person is she! She must have taken them to her room in the backyard. Does she still remember that she is just a maid?"

Ye Wenyan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I don't remember it very well, but it doesn't matter, I will remember it one day, there's no rush."

Zhuier didn't know why her young lady was not in a hurry, and she didn't dare to say or ask. She ran out to serve today's breakfast, and then carefully recorded the poor meal.

Ye Wenyan took out a piece of silver and handed it to her: "I'm going to make up for the reward you got from the old lady that day."

Zhuier stared at the large ingot of silver that her mistress handed over in a daze, "Miss, did you run out in the middle of the night to steal from the account office?"

She curled her lips and threw the silver into the little girl's hand, "I didn't steal from the account office."

"Where did this silver come from?"

"Don't worry about where it comes from. Just ask if you want it or not. If you want it, take it. If you ask me more, I won't give it to you."

"Yes." The little girl held the silver tightly in her hand, fearing that her master would regret it. "I will keep it. When the situation outside is good, I will go out to buy delicious food for the young lady. By the way, young lady, are you going to Fuluyuan to pay your respects to the old lady today?"

She nodded, "Yes, of course I have to go. I'm not the one who's upset, so why shouldn't I go?" She picked up the list of lost items on the table and said, "Let's go!"

The master and the servant left the house and just as they opened the door they heard Xiang Dong's voice: "Miss San, why are you here?"

Ye Wenyan looked in the direction he wanted and immediately saw Ye Hongzhuang in plain clothes.

But it seems that Ye Hongzhuang's plain clothes are a little different from theirs, or to be precise, Ye Hongzhuang's clothes are not called plain clothes, but mourning clothes.

I remember that when my grandfather and father just passed away, the original owner and his family all wore mourning clothes made of white linen. Not only did they wear mourning clothes on their bodies, but they also tied mourning belts around their waists and wore mourning hats on their heads.

This is the greatest filial piety, which is worn by the younger generations of the family when they are keeping vigil before the deceased relatives are buried. Generally speaking, once the ancestors are buried, the mourning clothes should be changed into plain clothes, and they no longer need to be worn like this.

Ye Hongzhuang had taken off her mourning clothes and changed into plain clothes before, but why did she put on mourning clothes again today?

She took two steps forward, looked at the nanny following behind Ye Hongzhuang, and suddenly realized.

It turned out that Ye Hongzhuang was not wearing mourning for the Ye family, but for the late emperor.

She whispered to Zhuier, "Should the late emperor be buried in three days or five days?"

Zhuier had a sad face: "Miss, how would I know this!" She waved her hands and said to herself: "I think it should be five days, otherwise Ye Hongzhuang would not still be wearing mourning clothes today." She counted the days with her fingers, hmm, five days, so tomorrow is the day of the funeral.

"Third sister," she asked Ye Hongzhuang with a puzzled look on her face, "Since you are the daughter-in-law of the royal family and are in mourning for the late emperor, why don't you do your filial duty properly? Why don't you burn some paper money in the yard the day before the funeral? Why did you come to my place?"

Ye Hongzhuang stared at Ye Wenyan with eyes filled with strong resentment and greed, without saying a word.

After a while, Aunt Cui couldn't wait any longer and gently pushed her from behind. Ye Hongzhuang had to take two steps forward, the resentment in her eyes was restrained a little, but the greed was still there.

She asked Ye Wenyan: "Can you heal my face?"

Ye Wenyan nodded: "Yes!"

"Then can you heal it for me?" Ye Hongzhuang took another step forward, trying to reach out to grab him, but Ye Wenyan dodged her. She had no choice but to stand down and beg, "Hao Yan'er, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong this time. Please heal my face! I don't want to have a scar for the rest of my life. I don't want to be called ugly."

Aunt Cui coughed twice and reminded, "Miss, please remember what you are asking for."

Ye Hongzhuang gritted her teeth, glared at the maid fiercely, and then said, "Forget it, I know you won't heal me, so I won't ask you to heal my face, I just ask you to heal the Sixth Prince! Okay? Fourth sister, all the mistakes are my fault. It was also me who suggested dumping the body that day, so you can't blame the Sixth Prince for this. Fourth sister, just hate me! Don't hate him!"

Nanny Cui nodded to show her satisfaction.

Ye Hongzhuang continued, "Yan'er, you used to like him very much. You didn't dare to speak loudly to him and would only blush when you saw him. You liked him so much, how could you bear to see him become like that? He is a proud man! He is the one we all liked! Yan'er, how could you bear it?"

At this point, Ye Hongzhuang started to cry. She wanted to cover her face with her hands, but she touched the wound and shuddered in pain.

"Yan'er, you may hate me, you can beat me or scold me, but I only ask you to punish him. As long as you agree, I am willing to give you the position of the principal wife, or I will not marry. But I only ask you to treat my child well in the future..." She said, raising her hand to cover her belly, "If it is a boy, marry him a virtuous wife in the future, preferably a daughter of a commoner family, not asking for wealth, but for stability. If it is a girl, please don't marry her too far away, at least I can see her when I miss her. Yan'er, we grew up together, and the third sister has never asked you for anything, just this time, please agree to me!"

I don't know if it was because of the topic of children, but this really touched Ye Hongzhuang's true emotions. She knelt down while talking, crying with snot and tears, looking very pitiful.

Nanny Cui also knelt down, muttering, "Fourth Miss Ye is a very compassionate person. She can't bear to see her own sister kneeling in front of her, not to mention that she is pregnant, so Fourth Miss will definitely agree. Third Miss, you should get up quickly, don't cry and hurt yourself. When the Sixth Prince's injury is healed and the child is born, we will welcome Fourth Miss into Prince Su's Mansion happily."

Ye Hongzhuang gritted her teeth secretly, but still said: "Yan'er is a good girl, she will never stand by and watch someone die."

Ye Wenyan was so angry that she laughed, "A master and a servant are acting here, flattering me, and morally blackmailing me? If I don't nod, I'm not merciful, not a good girl, and I'm not helping someone in need? Stop it, I'm not a good person to begin with. Everyone in Lin'an City calls me the witch of the Ye family. When did I become a good girl? Which witch have you ever seen show mercy?"

Zhuier couldn't help but interject, "Besides, the Sixth Prince is not dead yet, how can you just watch him die without saving him?"

"How dare you!" Madam Cui yelled, "How dare you, you lowly maid, to criticize the prince?"

Zhuier shuddered with fear and dared not say a word. But Ye Wenyan mentioned it: "Prince? Did this nanny forget that the late emperor passed away, and now he can only be called the emperor brother at most. To the outside world, he is either called the Sixth Prince or the Prince Su. You keep calling him the prince, are you deliberately trying to make trouble for the new emperor who is about to ascend the throne?"

Nanny Cui realized that she had said something wrong and stopped talking.

Ye Wenyan squatted down in front of Ye Hongzhuang and asked her, "Third sister, are you so selfless? You don't treat yourself, but only treat others?"

Ye Hongzhuang hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded, "Yes, I love him, so I just hope he's well."

"But you guys teamed up to bully me. He was involved in harming me. How can you be blamed on just you? Unless..."

"Unless what?"

Ye Wenyan gave her a sly smile: "Unless you pay back all the sins I have suffered, I will treat him immediately."

"Okay! As long as the Fourth Miss agrees to punish the Sixth Prince, she can pay for any crime!" Madam Cui was the first to express her opinion, and she pinched Ye Hongzhuang, "Speak up, okay?"

Ye Hongzhuang frowned and didn't follow her words. She just asked Ye Wenyan with a trembling voice: "What kind of suffering did you suffer? How, how do you pay for it?"
