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

Chapter 398 I Won't Let Them Go

Seeing Ye Wenyan sitting there drinking tea peacefully, he remembered what Jinxiu said about Ye Chulian going to the Ningguo Marquis Mansion.

So Xiao Shubai asked, "I heard that the fifth girl went to the Xiao family. What was she doing there?"

Ye Wenyan smiled softly, "Of course she went to collect the debt. After all, the things were lost in her room. She, as the owner, has to show up and ask for an explanation from the Xiao family."

"She is a concubine's daughter. What qualifications does she have to go to the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion to seek justice?" Xiao said, covering half of her face. "How can anyone be qualified to enter our Ningguo Marquis' Mansion?"

This was not pleasant to hear. Ye Wenyan rolled his eyes and said, "Second Aunt, what do you mean? Just because your Xiao family is of high status, the children of my Ye family are not even worthy of going there? Is the Xiao family so much stronger than the Ye family?" At this point, he looked at the old lady, "Grandma, when did our family fall to this point? The fifth young lady in our family is not even worthy of entering the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion? Is the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion arrogant, or is our Ye family decadent? Second Aunt, you are slapping our entire family in the face!"

Madam Ye was most afraid of someone provoking her like this. When Ye Wenyan said this, she immediately refused to accept it. She pointed at Xiao Shubai and angrily scolded, "You are simply a shrew! As a legitimate mother, you treat a concubine's daughter harshly. You said in front of the Ye family that the daughter of the Ye family is not worthy of entering the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion. Is this the daughter raised by your Xiao family? Back then, our Ye family married you like a treasure, but we didn't expect that you would be such a low-class thing. I would like to ask, what is so good about your Ningguo Marquis' Mansion that you can despise the First-Rank General's Mansion like this? What have you done for the court over the years to be so proud?"

The old lady slammed the table beside her, and Mu also said, "Why not call the marquis and go to the emperor to judge whether a hereditary title can compare with the illustrious military exploits of the two generals of the Ye family." Xiao Shubai knew that she had said the wrong thing, and further refutation would only give others something to talk about, so she simply did not mention it. She only asked Ye Wenyan, "Since the fifth lady has gone, why don't you go?"

"Me?" Ye Wenyan smiled. "I'm just here to watch the fun. Second Aunt, why don't you come and watch the fun together? Anyway, Madam Xiao has already taken over the debt, and she still has to pay it back. Yanhua Palace is asking the Xiao family for money, so don't worry about it."

"I told you that the Xiao family has no money!" Xiao Shubai clasped his hands tightly together. "At this age, the old lady is about to step into the coffin. How can she afford such a large sum of money? Ye Wenyan, how can you bear to force her?"

Mu couldn't listen any longer, "My daughter was a living person, how could you have the heart to do that?"

"Your daughter is alive now!" Xiao Shubai almost collapsed and shouted loudly, "I didn't kill her. She stabbed herself. She didn't want to live anymore. Who else can you blame?"

Mu wanted to say something, but she stopped talking when she saw Ye Wenyan shook his head at her. Ye Wenyan leaned forward and got closer to Xiao Shubai. "Since the incident on the second day of the twelfth lunar month cannot be blamed on you, let's talk about my father. Second Aunt, can you tell me how my father died?"

"What, how did he die?" Xiao Shubai panicked. She stared at Ye Wenyan's eyes. She wanted to look away, but she couldn't. Ye Wenyan's eyes seemed to have a suction force, holding her gaze tightly and not letting go. She was so panicked that her teeth were trembling, and she spoke incoherently, "He died of illness. How do I know? He died of illness. Even the imperial doctors couldn't see him. Ye Wenyan, what do you mean? What do you want to do?"

"I don't want to do anything, I just keep having dreams lately." Ye Wenyan stood up, leaned back on the chair, and raised his voice. "I've been having some weird dreams lately, I dreamed about my grandfather and my father. They told me in their dreams that they died in vain, not from illness at all. They also said that they got sick because someone had done something to them, and it happened to be the person they were closest to and trusted the most, so it's hard to guard against. Second aunt, and grandmother, can you help me analyze this dream? Is it accurate? If it's not accurate, why do I keep having the same dream? If it's accurate, then who is the person they say did something to them the most?"

The old lady and Xiao Shubai shuddered at the same time, and Xiao Shubai's already ugly face turned even paler.

The old lady felt that the haunted feeling in the yard a while ago had returned again, and this time there were two ghosts, one her husband and the other her son. The two ghosts came towards her, both of them coming to take her life.

Mu also became nervous, but she didn't look at Xiao Shubai, but at Ye Wenyan, her eyes full of questions.

Ye Wenyan took the initiative to hold her hand, patted it twice, and then said: "Don't be afraid, mother. Although this house is full of evil spirits, we still have to continue living among these evil spirits. Some things cannot be forgotten after a person dies. The truth will come to light one day. At that time, whoever did what, whoever committed what sin, whoever killed what person, will have to pay me back one by one. From now on, I will not let them go!"

No one said a word for a long time, including Mu and Ye Qingmei.

The old lady was so frightened that she couldn't speak, and Xiao Shubai was so panicked that he didn't dare to speak. Mu and Ye Qingmei were thinking back to the time when General Ye was seriously ill, recalling every day and every moment, including every detail.

Soon, Mrs. Mu recalled many things that she had never doubted before, such as why Ye Jinggui fell ill immediately after visiting the old master? Why did he refuse to see the old lady during the period of serious illness? Why did Ye Jinggui ask her more than once during those days to go to Fuluyuan to bring Ye Lianmian back?

She didn't think too much about it at the time, she just thought her husband was sick and not mentally stable.

But now that I think about it, everything seems suspicious.

Ye Qingmei also thought of some things. She remembered one time when she brought medicine to her father, her father kept muttering "Devil, she is a devil. How could I have such a mother? I must tell my father about this." Another time, her second uncle went to see her father, and her father grabbed a pillow and threw it at him. He also yelled at him and told him to get out, saying that he was not his brother and he would not eat the food he brought him, and told him to get out as far away as possible.

At that time, my second uncle said that my father was crazy because of the old man's serious illness. She believed it and thought that my father was overreacting to his serious illness, so she didn't think too deeply about it.

But looking back now, it seems that things are not the same as they were before.

At this time, Ye Wenyan stood up. His movements were a bit big, and the chair made a clanging sound.

Everyone came back to their senses at the sound.

People looked at Ye Wenyan, and for a moment they couldn't figure out what she was going to do, and then they saw her turn around and walk out the door.

Xiao Shubai asked, "Where are you going?"

She turned around and smiled, "Let's go to the Xiao family!"

Xiao Shubai was shocked, "Why did you go to the Xiao family?" "To watch the fun!" She still had a poisonous smile, "Didn't I just say that I am here to watch the fun, so of course I'll go wherever the fun is the most, don't you think so, Second Aunt?" She also waved at Xiao Shubai, "Do you want to go and watch together? As for those dreams I had, there's no rush. I'll call you to analyze them together in the future. The most urgent thing is to get the banknotes from Yanhua Palace back first, otherwise Yanhua Palace will get angry and burn down Ningguo Marquis Mansion. By then, your Xiao family will have to wander the streets in a mess with a group of servants, just like the Sixth Prince did back then."

Ye Wenyan left, and Mu and Ye Qingmei did not follow him. However, Xiao Shubai quickly caught up with him and even got on the same carriage with Ye Wenyan.

Because she was in too much of a hurry when getting on the bus, she pushed Zhuier, who was so angry that she pulled the Second Madam, who was halfway up, down. It was not until she sat in the car herself that she saw Xiao Shubai clumsily following her in.

The second wife of the Ye family now has lost her teeth and a swollen face. She looks as miserable as can be.

But Xiao Shubai no longer cared about her embarrassment, she was even trembling a little.

She was not shaking because she was scared by Ye Wenyan, but she was afraid when she thought about this matter being brought to the attention of her half-brother.

Although her half-brother Xiao Fang usually looked peaceful and harmless, she actually knew too well how scheming he was. She also knew too well that he had been enduring for so many years, and there was a fire of anger in his heart that he had nowhere to vent. Who knew when it would explode and he would settle accounts with the old lady.

It is fine if a concubine's son is raised by his biological mother voluntarily, or if his biological mother is dead and died of natural causes.

But when Xiao Fang was snatched by Old Madam Xiao to her side, his biological mother was still alive! Although she died later, her death was unclear.

She has always known that Xiao Fang has been investigating the truth of that year over the years. The servants in the mansion have been replaced one after another, and he has secretly sent people to look for them one after another.

Unfortunately, Madam Xiao was very efficient and handled the matter very well, so Xiao Fang was not able to find out for so many years.

But the more he couldn't find out, the more suspicious Xiao Fang became. So although the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion appeared to be a loving mother and filial son on the surface, there were actually undercurrents surging, and it was unknown at any time whether a huge wave would arise.

She didn't want to stir up this wave because of her own affairs, and she also wanted to live a few more years of good life relying on the Ningguo Marquis Mansion.

Now the Ye family is planning to take a concubine. If she no longer has the support of the Marquis' Mansion, won't the Ye family trample her into the mud?

So Xiao was very scared, but the more scared she was, the more interesting Ye Wenyan found it, and she even asked her: "Second Aunt, why are you shaking like this? Are you excited to go back to your parents' home? Yes, women all miss their parents' home. There is not only a mother in your parents' home, but also a younger brother and sister-in-law, as well as nephews and nieces, right? Look, it's so nice to have such a big family! They must be very happy that you can go back, and they will definitely welcome you warmly at the gate of the mansion. By the way, second aunt, have you prepared some small gifts for your parents' family?" Xiao Shubai was sweating coldly...
