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

Chapter 397 Revenge is not for forgiveness

Three days have passed, and Xiao Shubai has been busy all the time, trying every possible way to find the lost banknote, and also trying every possible way to raise money for compensation. It can be said that she has planned to take away all the valuables, and even planned to sell off some of her private properties.

But it would take more than a day or two to sell private property. If it was too expensive, no one would buy it, and if it was too cheap, they would be reluctant to part with it. If he only sold jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, he would not be able to raise a million taels.

But last night Wen Yan sent someone to her room to say that although the silver note with the Heavenly Seal of Yanhua Palace was only one million taels, it could not be compared with the ordinary one million taels. If this kind of thing was placed in someone else's house, it would definitely be regarded as a family heirloom.

So she had to take this theft seriously. She didn't just pay one million taels of silver, but calculated the actual value of the silver note. Actual value? How to calculate the actual value of something from Yanhua Palace? That is, she had to pay as much as the other party asked for.

But she couldn't even get one million taels, so where could she get more?

Not to mention that she didn't have it, the Xiao family didn't have it either. And this matter couldn't be known to her half-brother, so her mother could only collect it secretly, but how could she collect it? Ye Wenyan was trying to kill her!

Xiao Shubai's face was ashen, "Even if you sell me out, I can't take out this money."

This was said to Ye Wenyan, but Old Madam Ye got angry first and asked, "Xiao Shubai, let me ask you, how could the banknote be lost just like that? Even if it was lost while walking, it should have fallen in our house. You have been digging deep in the ground these days, so you should have found it wherever it was lost, right?"

Xiao Shubai still looked desperate, "I don't know, I clearly put it in my sleeve pocket, how come it disappeared in the blink of an eye? I can't find it no matter how hard I try." As she spoke, she subconsciously looked at Ye Wenyan. Ye Wenyan was unhappy, "Why are you looking at me? The thing was on you and disappeared, and I didn't get close to you that day, so don't suspect me."

The old lady also spoke up for her, "That's right. I saw it clearly that day. The fourth girl was sitting in the room the whole time, far away from you. You can't blame her for your banknotes. But your mother was with you the whole time. You two were very close to each other. You leaned on her lap several times, and you two were holding hands the whole time. Xiao Shubai, you should know what you did, right? How long do you want to deny it now?"

Xiao Shubai gritted his teeth and cursed the old lady in his heart a thousand times, "You mean, I stole the banknotes and gave them to my mother? Humph! I really hope that I gave them to her. If I gave them to her, she would have taken them out immediately after knowing that they were banknotes from Yanhua Palace, and nothing would have happened. Unfortunately, I didn't even let her see the banknotes."

The old lady's words became more and more harsh: "So you are such a thief that you don't even know how to subsidize your parents, and you only care about enjoying yourself." Xiao Shubai took a deep breath and kept persuading herself not to get entangled with this old lady. Today is to solve the problem, not to quarrel. She cast her eyes to Ye Wenyan again, and kept thinking about what the old lady had just said.

Wen Yan did not approach her that day or night, and had no chance to take the banknotes.

Yes, that was exactly what happened that day. The loss of the banknote definitely had nothing to do with Ye Wenyan.

But for some reason, she always felt that this was a trap set by Ye Wenyan. But when was this trap set?

The maid Jinxiu hurried in from outside. Without even having time to greet the old lady, she walked straight to Xiao Shubai and whispered something in his ear. Xiao Shubai's face turned even paler.

The old lady couldn't hear clearly what was being said. She was so anxious that she kept asking Jun Tao beside her, "What are they talking about?"

Jun Tao couldn't hear clearly, so she directly scolded Jin Xiu: "You rude thing, whispering in front of the old lady, don't you take the old lady seriously? If you want to say something, just say it openly. Is your master doing something shameful?"

Jinxiu glanced at Juntao and ignored her shouting, but just said a few more words to Xiao Shubai. The old lady was so anxious that she wanted to pounce on him and listen carefully.

But she didn't hear what was said, but Ye Wenyan heard it clearly.

Jinxiu said, "Madam, it's bad. Lian Shi from Yanhua Palace and Yun Chen from the Imperial Observatory went to the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion together, and our fifth young lady also went with them." She added, "The Marquis did not go out today, he is in the mansion!"

Xiao Shubai was anxious. "Wen Yan, Wen Yan, I beg you. The Xiao family can't take responsibility for this. My mother has no money. Even if she sells all her belongings, she can't afford to compensate you. And Ningguo Hou, he is not my brother from the same mother. He is a concubine's son. He has never been close to me since he was a child. It is impossible for him to help. Wen Yan, please be kind and let us go. I kneel down for you!"

Xiao Shubai was really scared this time. He knelt down as soon as he was told to. Not only did he kneel down, he also cried and grabbed the corner of Ye Wenyan's clothes.

"For the sake of our family, Wen Yan, please forgive me this time and let me pay you back slowly. I will save up every penny I earn in the future and send it to you. I will definitely keep my word. Wen Yan, please have pity on me and let me go!"

Snapped!

Ye Wenyan slapped Xiao Shubai in the face.

The slap was merciless and full of force, causing Xiao Shubai to roll several times on the ground. Half of his face became swollen and a tooth fell out.

"Madam!" Jinxiu screamed and rushed forward, and at the same time turned around to question Ye Wenyan, "She is your elder after all, how can you beat her just like that? Are there any family rules in this family?"

After saying this, Zhuier, who had been standing behind Ye Wenyan, stepped forward, grabbed Jinxiu by the collar and slapped her wildly. He slapped her about ten or twenty times, until Jinxiu's face was swollen like a pig's head and she could no longer speak, and then he stopped. Then Zhuier said, "Since you are talking about family rules, there is no rule in the family rules for servants to question their masters. These few slaps are a lesson for you. The grudges between masters should be resolved by the masters themselves. If you keep nagging, I will break all your teeth next time. Did you hear me clearly?"

Zhuier's aura so overwhelming that Jinxiu didn't even dare to cry. She just nodded subconsciously to show that she heard it clearly.

Not only Jinxiu was suppressed, but Xiao Shubai was also suppressed. She even felt that compared with Zhuier's violence, it was much better for Ye Wenyan to just slap her.

But the slap was so hard that she looked at her fallen tooth on the ground and wanted to pick it up, but she didn't dare to.

"Xiao Shubai, please beg me to let you go?" Ye Wenyan finally spoke again, "But when you stuffed Ye Hongzhuang into my wedding sedan, why didn't you plan to let me go? You were not as humble as you are now." "I was wrong! I was really wrong!" Xiao Shubai no longer cared about her face. She was now thinking about Lian Shi Yunchen going to Ningguo Marquis Mansion, and her mind was full of her half brother's expression when he heard about these things. She was really panicked, "Wenyan, I apologize, I will kowtow to you. Please don't care about the past anymore, I really know I was wrong."

"Let go of my hand!" Ye Wenyan looked at the hand that Xiao Shubai had grabbed, his eyes full of disgust. "If apologies are useful, then there is no such thing as revenge in this world. Xiao Shubai, listen to me, revenge is for revenge, not for forgiveness. The eighteen levels of hell under your feet are for judgment and punishment, not for washing away your sins. I say it again, let go of your hand, or I will chop off your bloody hands and claws!"

Xiao Shubai was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his hand.

Ye Wenyan nodded with satisfaction, "Don't feel wronged, this is retribution."

At this moment, Mrs. Mu arrived and walked to the door, just in time to hear Ye Wenyan say that she was stuffing Ye Hongzhuang into her wedding sedan.

Mu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Her emotions surged several times, but she suppressed them all.

"It's indeed retribution." She said this, then pulled Ye Qingmei into the house and sat next to Ye Wenyan.

The old lady felt very uncomfortable watching this scene. It was clearly the morning and evening visitation schedule, but everyone came into the house without greeting her or even looking at her. They just went about their own business. Was her presence in this family too low?

She was thinking this in her heart and wanted to say it out loud, but Jun Tao gently pulled her and shook her head slightly, signaling her not to speak.

The old lady also knew that she was too anxious. Today was Ye Wenyan's day to deal with Xiao Shubai. This was none of her business. She should just watch the show. Why should she get involved? She had been fawning on Xiao Shubai before because her second son needed the support of the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion, so that the old man would not drive this second son out of the house without caring about anything.

But now the old man is dead, and the house belongs to her second son. What are they afraid of?

In this case, the role of Xiao Shubai and Ningguo Marquis Mansion is not very great. What's more, Xiao Shubai has no useful child, which makes him not only useless but also a burden.

She really hoped that Ye Wenyan would try harder and drive Xiao Shubai out of the house, so that her son could marry a new wife and bring back his best daughter. There would be no need to talk about whether she was an equal wife or not, she could just be the legal wife, that would be better.

The old lady thought a lot, even including that Chang Xueqiao was a commoner, with almost no background except for her good looks. After such a person entered the mansion, he would definitely obey her orders and listen to whatever she said, which was very easy to control.

Having a daughter-in-law like this is much better than having someone like Xiao Shubai who comes from a noble family.

Ye Wenyan sealed his head and said that he would never forgive Xiao Shubai no matter what. Xiao Shubai also realized that this path was a dead end.

But if this way didn't work, she had to think of another way. She covered her head and tried hard to think, but she couldn't figure it out.
