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

Chapter 396 The Day to Pay Back the Money Has Come

She didn't know why. Obviously, the eldest young master was her young lady's brother, and obviously, the second young master had almost killed her young lady. But when she was with the eldest young master, she always felt alienated inexplicably. She felt that the eldest young master was more unfamiliar and distant, and it reminded her that she was just a servant, and servants must keep a certain distance from their masters.

Zhuier shook her head vigorously, trying to get rid of this emotion. The eldest young master was also someone her young lady trusted, and he was a very good brother to her young lady. She couldn't be so partial to one and treat the other unfairly. If the young lady knew about it, she would be unhappy, and the eldest lady would also be sad.

But even as she thought so, when she stood in front of Ye Feizhou's door and reached out to knock on it, the previous feeling came back to her.

She just felt that the second young master was more humane and approachable. She was willing to talk to him and didn't want to be nervous in front of the eldest young master. When Ye Feizhou opened the door, he saw Zhuier standing at the door with a tangled face. He didn't understand: "What's going on?"

Zhuier sighed and waved his hand, "You don't understand."

Ye Feizhou: "..."

"Let's go in and talk! I came here because I have something important to tell the Second Young Master about my Fourth Young Miss."

When he heard that it was about Ye Wenyan, Ye Feizhou didn't ask any more questions. He immediately let Zhuier in and closed the door.

Zhuier looked back at the closed door and couldn't help but said, "Second Master, I won't hide it from you. If the door is closed by the eldest master, I dare not stay in the room. I don't know why, but I get a little nervous when I see the eldest master. Well, I can't say I'm nervous, but I should say I'm not as casual as when I talk to the second master. My young lady is the same. Every time she talks to the eldest master, she is very serious. The feeling is that she respects him, but there is no closeness at all."

Ye Feizhou didn't know how to respond to this, and even wondered in his heart, is this girl here to test his loyalty to the first wife's family? She suddenly came here to do this, maybe it was a trap!

Seeing that Ye Feizhou didn't say anything, Zhuier didn't think much about it. He just let what he had said before go and didn't plan to continue.

She just told Ye Feizhou in detail about Ye Wenyan being sick on the 15th of every month. After that, she said, "Second Young Master also knows the relationship between my young lady and the Emperor. To be honest, the Emperor is now guarding our young lady in the house! But what I mean is that the Emperor is very busy. If he is delayed by other things one day and doesn't take care of our young lady, how dangerous it would be! So I thought, now that Second Young Master is also the young master of the big house, you must take on the responsibility of protecting my young lady in the future. You can't learn a skill in vain, you must put it into practice."

Ye Feizhou had no objection to this. He was happy to protect Ye Wenyan, but why did he get sick on the 15th of every month? What was going on? He picked a specific day to get sick?

Thinking about it again, it seemed so. He had heard that Ye Wenyan was seriously ill on the night of the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, but he didn't expect that Ye Wenyan would be sick on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the fifteenth day of the second lunar month, and today, the fifteenth day of March.

Zhuier was right. If this happened every fifteenth day of every month, he would have to take precautions.

"I understand. Don't worry. I will be with her every fifteenth day of every month from now on."

Two days passed in a flash, and the day to ask the Xiao family for money finally arrived.

Ye Wenyan got up early, dressed neatly and went to Fuluyuan to pay his respects to the old lady.

She thought she had arrived early enough, but unexpectedly Ye Lianmian arrived earlier than her. As soon as she entered the front hall, she saw Ye Lianmian sitting on the ball at the feet of the old lady with her arms folded, and said coquettishly: "Our family will soon have a new lady. Grandmother, you must keep the old lady's airs properly this time. Don't let the new lady be like the current second aunt, relying on her natal family to support her and suppress you. You are the old lady, the most honorable woman in the back house, and no one can suppress you." The old lady nodded, thinking that what Ye Lianmian said made sense. When a new person enters the house, the rules must be established from the first day of entering the house. If this head is set well, life will be easier in the future. If this head is not set well, it will be the second Xiao Shubai.

But actually, think about it, Xiao Shubai treated her well in the past, but as Ye Lianmian said, Xiao Shubai had a powerful mother's family, which was fine for her, but it was an invisible pressure for her son.

In the past, she had been counting on the Xiao family to support the second son, so that he could stand on his own feet even without the support of the General's Mansion.

But now she finally realized that it was useless to rely on her in-laws, and she really had to rely on herself.

If the second son wants to truly turn things around, he must have a promising daughter. The path of Ye Hongzhuang and the Sixth Prince didn't work out before, but now that he has Ye Wushuang, he might as well try to follow the path of the new emperor.

As long as Ye Wushuang entered the palace and became a concubine, the Ye family would become royal relatives, and her son would become the emperor's father-in-law. She had never seen Ye Wushuang, but her son described her as being quite beautiful, several times more beautiful than Ye Hongzhuang. If she was not lying, such a girl would definitely be liked by men. As long as Ye Wushuang could gain a foothold in the palace in the future, her father would naturally enjoy the benefits.

The old lady looked down at Ye Lianmian and asked, "I treated you coldly before, aren't you angry with me?"

Ye Lianmian hurried to try to please her, "How could a granddaughter be angry with grandma? I was raised by grandma, and I will always be on her side. I will be with whoever grandma thinks is good in this family, and I will listen to grandma in everything."

The old lady seemed touched, and she said something from the bottom of her heart: "You are right. After all, I raised you. Although I hate you for not living up to your expectations sometimes, I still have to think about you in my heart. Now your second uncle is about to marry a new wife. You have to look at this matter this way. As long as your current second aunt is good in every way, your second uncle will never think of marrying a concubine. So in the future, the new daughter-in-law will still have the final say in this family, not to mention that the new daughter-in-law has a grown-up daughter."

Ye Lianmian nodded, "I heard that sister Wushuang is very beautiful. Second uncle is so lucky."

"Yes." The old lady liked to hear this. "So you should get closer to your new second aunt in the future. She is new here and doesn't know anyone in the mansion. You should take this opportunity to get closer to her and take care of your sister Wushuang. In this way, when they get benefits in the future, they will naturally think of you, their second sister."

Ye Lianmian nodded vigorously, and as he nodded, he noticed that there was one more person in the room. When he turned around, he saw that Ye Wenyan had already sat down.

The smiling face collapsed instantly when he saw Ye Wenyan, and even blurted out, "What are you doing here?"

Ye Wenyan laughed when he heard this, "Of course I came to pay my respects to my grandmother. Could it be that I came to see you?"

"You're useless!" Ye Lianmian stood up angrily, his movements were a little rough, and his arm hurt again. "Ye Wenyan, don't be too proud. The family will have a new owner soon. You can't cause any trouble, and don't think that everyone will be afraid of you."

Ye Wenyan smiled at her, "Second sister, what do you mean, the new master will make things difficult for me when she enters the mansion? Why? Well, let's not talk about why! Anyway, you all know that I am definitely not the kind of person who can stand being bullied, and the servants around me are also all of a temper that can't stand seeing me being bullied. Just like this arm of yours, if you hadn't said such harsh words that day, you wouldn't have ended up with a lifelong disability. So even if the new second aunt comes in, what can it do? It's fine if she doesn't provoke me. Once she provokes me, the worst that can happen is that she will become the next Xiao Shubai, which is no loss to me."

After saying that, she ignored Ye Lianmian and turned to look outside, while looking and talking to herself: "Why hasn't Second Aunt come yet? I came here early to block her and remind her that today is the day to compensate for the one million taels of silver. I have to ask her one last time, should I ask her for the silver or the Ningguo Marquis Mansion. Alas, one million taels, just lost like that? Who would believe this if I tell others?" She turned around and asked the old lady, "Grandma, do you believe that the banknotes are really lost?"

The old lady didn't react for a moment, "You, what do you mean?" "What I mean is! In fact, the banknote is probably not lost, but has been given to Old Lady Xiao. Didn't Old Lady Xiao come here that day? It must be that the daughter got the banknote first, and then turned around and gave it to her own mother! Otherwise, how could Old Lady Xiao say that she would pay the money back for her? That's one million taels. How dare she, an old lady who is not the Marquis's biological mother, take this job?"

Madam Ye thought about what she said and became angrier and angrier. So Xiao Shubai stole things from her house and gave them to the Xiao family? Isn't this equivalent to moving the money from the Ye family to the Xiao family? What's the difference between this and a mouse moving?

I didn't expect that after so many years, there was actually a thief living in my house. Xiao Shubai is so hateful!

Ye Wenyan smiled with the corners of her lips curled. "Second Aunt has been married into the Ye family for so many years. This shouldn't be the first time she has done this, right? I heard from Fifth Sister that things have been stolen from her room more than once or twice. From big banknotes to small jewelry, they are stolen every now and then. Her room is full of servants arranged by Second Madam. Grandmother, have you ever heard that she handed over the things she stole from Fifth Sister to the public? Or did she bring them to honor you? Of course, there are no good things in Fifth Sister's room, but whether they are good or not, they are all gifts from the heart. After stealing, they must be sold."

The old lady was so angry that she slammed the table. "Xiao Shubai is the thief raised by the Xiao family! The Xiao family actually married such a daughter to my Ye Mansion. They are worthy of death, worthy of death!"

While they were arguing, Xiao Shubai arrived.

If it were any other time, Xiao Shubai would definitely not be able to tolerate hearing the old lady scolding her like this.

But today she couldn't take care of this matter, and she was only thinking about the one million taels of silver.

She had searched her house inside and out these days, but she couldn't find any banknotes. If you steal something, you have to pay for it. You can't deny the debt of Yanhua Palace, and no one dares to deny it. But where can she get so much money in just three days?
