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

Chapter 40 Maybe Yun Chen has a crush on Ye Wenyan

The old lady felt a little confused. Will this ever end? How come this fourth granddaughter has become a completely different person since she came back from Prince Su's Mansion? She was not a good person before, and now she is basically evil.

The pages of paper that Ye Wenyan had were written by Mu and Ye Qingmei, and they contained things that had been moved out of their rooms.

She told the old lady and Xiao: "Originally, I was planning to take all these things back according to the list, but since you are using the family head as an excuse, I will abide by the rules and not ask you for them. I will only let you make up for it according to the previous standard of my second uncle's family. You can give up the things, but what about the silver? The regular silver issued by the mansion in the past did not have a division of the family head. Our family and my second uncle's family received the same. In addition, there is also the income generated by the farm and shop in my mother's hands, which is also entered into her own account book. Now all the money is gone, who can explain to me who stole my family's money?"

As she spoke, she flipped through the papers, turning them over and over, and her eyes stopped on one of the pages.

"Oh, there's an unexpected gain." She waved the paper in her hand, "It says here that my elder brother was awarded a set of pens and inkstones by the emperor at the New Year's Eve banquet two years ago because of his good learning. This is a gift from the emperor, if you lose it, you must report it to the authorities."

She turned to Xiangdong and said, "Help me think about it. After the national mourning, we will report to the authorities."

The old lady was about to collapse and shouted, "You dare! You dare!"

Ye Wenyan smiled, "Why shouldn't I dare to do that? You guys dare to steal, so why shouldn't I dare to report it?"

"No one stole your things!" The old lady grabbed the tea bowl and smashed it down, "No one stole your things!"

"You still don't admit it?" She sighed helplessly. "It seems that the disappearance of this thing is really strange. I'm afraid that the government may not be able to find out the truth. Otherwise, I will ask Master Yunchen from the Imperial Observatory to help observe the stars and calculate which courtyard in our house is infested with mice and has emptied all the things."

"How dare you call me a rat?"

"Grandma, are you admitting this?" Ye Wenyan kicked the broken pieces of the tea bowl that fell near him. "You are old now, and I don't want to say much. I just want to remind you that if you don't make up for the loss or pay me back, I might think more about it. For example, how did my grandfather die? For example, how did my father die?"

She stood up and said, "You have three days. If you exceed the time limit, you will bear the consequences yourself." After that, she held Mu and Ye Qing's eyebrows and said, "Let's go back and come to greet grandma tomorrow."

The old lady beat her chest and stamped her feet and shouted, "You don't have to come anymore, never again!"

She shook her head. "That won't do. Even if my grandmother is unkind and unjust, I can't be an unfilial son. What's coming must come." Ye Wenyan left, and Mu and Ye Qingmei also left. Only Ye Lianmian was left in the main house.

The old lady looked unhappy. She looked at the few people left and her anger was directed at Liu and Ye Chulian: "What are you still standing here for? Are you here to laugh at me? Get out of here!"

Liu quickly pulled Ye Chulian away. Ye Lianmian wanted to go forward to comfort her grandmother, but her grandmother didn't appreciate it and yelled at her, "Get out!" Ye Lianmian shuddered and quickly left.

Xiao wanted to talk to the old lady, but seeing her state, she didn't bother to bother with her and stood up as well.

When she looked up, she saw Binglan, the maidservant beside Ye Hongzhuang, standing outside the hall. She quickened her pace and went out to the front hall to listen to the maidservant's whisper. Her face changed immediately. Without saying a word, she walked away with big strides.

The old lady looked at Xiao's hurried look and made up her mind, but when she looked at the half-dead Madam Yuan lying at the door, she didn't have the heart to care about anything else. She just shouted to the servants: "Why don't you carry the person away? I am waiting for you to carry him myself."

Two skilled women appeared outside and carried the man away. The servants of Fuluyuan also hurried to fetch water and scrub the floor. Soon, the area outside the front hall was restored to its original appearance.

But the old lady was still worried. She asked Jun Tao who was standing beside her, "Where is the big stick? Where is the big stick that the fourth girl took out? I was watching it the whole time, but I didn't see anyone take it away!"

Jun Tao was stunned and immediately went to the door to check. She also asked the maids who had swept the floor, but no one said they had seen it. Only one little maid said, "Bangzi didn't see it, but I saw a plum blossom when I was sweeping just now. I don't know where it came from. We don't grow plum blossoms in Fuluyuan!"

There were indeed no wintersweets planted in Fulu Courtyard because the old lady was particular about it. She thought that the “mei” in “plum blossom” sounded similar to the “mei” in “unlucky”, which was unlucky, and was unlucky, so all that were planted in Fulu Courtyard were osmanthus trees, jujube trees and peach trees.

But it didn't make sense that a plum blossom appeared in a yard without plum trees. Jun Tao told the old lady about this, but she couldn't figure it out, so she just waved her hand and said, "Maybe someone went to the plum blossom garden in the mansion and got flowers on his body. It's no big deal. But where did the big stick go?"

Jun Tao thought for a moment and said, "It's also possible that the fourth young lady picked it up when she left. After all, she brought it here, and the scene was chaotic at the time, so none of us noticed it."

The old lady nodded. This was the only explanation.

"Alas." She sighed, her face full of confusion. "Jun Tao, what do you think the fourth girl relies on? When I was alive, I treated her well, but she was not so reckless as to dare to oppose me like this. What happened now? She has lost her backer, but she is even more arrogant than before. What is she relying on?"

Without waiting for Jun Tao to reply, she continued, "Then why should I be afraid of her? No matter what she relies on, she is my granddaughter after all, and a member of the general's mansion. As long as we are at home, I am the boss. If I don't respond to her words and requests, what else can she do to me? She can't beat me to death, because then she will be breaking the law."

The more the old lady spoke, the more she felt she was right. "Yes, we can't spoil her like this anymore. We can't think she looks like a ghost when we see that big white face of hers. Even if we feel guilty about her marriage, that was arranged by the mansion for the sake of the overall situation of the Ye family. As the granddaughter of the Ye family, she must make sacrifices for the family. What did I do wrong? Humph! If she comes again tomorrow, I will definitely have a good argument with her. Who the hell is she? The initiative of the Ye family must not be in her hands!"

Jun Tao's heart began to beat fast as she listened to the old lady's words. She whispered to the old lady, "You are right, old lady. Logically, we should not be afraid of the fourth young lady. Even if she dares to hit Nanny Yuan, she will never dare to do anything to you, old lady. But..." She paused and lowered her voice, "But the fourth young lady said that if you don't listen to her, she will investigate the cause of death of the old master and the eldest master. This matter..."

"Stop talking!" The old lady covered her chest with her hands, feeling very uncomfortable. "Cause of death, cause of death, what kind of cause of death does she want? It's been more than a month since this happened. She didn't come to ask for the cause of death when the person just died, so why is she bringing it up now?"

Jun Tao said: "Maybe I was too sad at that time and just cried, and now I think about it again."

The old lady shook her head, "No, there's something fishy about this. I always felt that her attitude had changed since she came back from Prince Su's Mansion. Maybe that knife stabbed her and changed her temperament? Or maybe she went crazy after losing the Sixth Prince she loved so much? But what can she do if she wants the cause of death? What can she get? Who can give it to her?"

Jun Tao didn't say anything else, just sighed in her heart. If you weren't afraid that the fourth young lady would die, why did you, old lady, repeatedly avoid the fourth young lady's dominance and dare not really go straight to her? Take today's incident, for example, they arrested the eldest young lady, but in fact, the person the old lady and the second lady really wanted to deal with was the fourth young lady!

She knew very well that the reason why she targeted the eldest daughter was because she was honest and easy to bully, but the fourth daughter was now... too difficult to deal with.

"Madam, you should be more open-minded!" Jun Tao didn't want to mention the matter of the old master and the eldest master anymore, so she changed her angle to persuade her master, "In fact, even if there is no cause of death, we can't really confront the fourth young lady head-on now. I know that the old lady is not afraid of the fourth young lady, because she is your granddaughter, and she has to listen to you at home even if she goes to heaven. But the old lady thinks about what happened in front of the Prince Su's Mansion that day, and then thinks about that Lord Yun from the Imperial Observatory..."

These words made the old lady fall into confusion and entanglement again, and the anger in her heart became more and more suffocating.

It was the second brother who told her about what happened in front of Prince Su's Mansion. Afterwards, she asked Xiao again, and she said the same thing.

That is to say, Ye Wenyan smashed the walls and gates of Prince Su's mansion to pieces in front of so many people, but the Sixth Prince didn't do anything to her, and didn't even dare to challenge her. This is too unlike the Sixth Prince to do! It's too unlike the Sixth Prince to swallow his anger!

The Sixth Prince was the legitimate son of the previous emperor. Before the incident, he was the strongest contender for the throne. Almost everyone was sure that he was the heir to the throne. Although the Northern Qi dynasty only recognized the youngest son as the heir, the Sixth Prince was only three years older than the Seventh Prince. In addition, the Seventh Prince was a mute, so the throne was definitely the Sixth Prince's.

Therefore, the Sixth Prince has always been the most lawless and the most powerful one.

How to shut up such a person? Why did the Sixth Prince still hold back after being provoked in the face like this? This is totally not the Sixth Prince's style!

And there was Yun Chen. The old lady remembered that she had seen Yun Chen once more than ten years ago. That year, she was awarded the first-rank imperial edict and went to the palace to express her gratitude. She happened to see the former director of the Imperial Observatory leading a young man to kowtow to the emperor.

That young man was Yun Chen. From then on, he became the youngest director of the Imperial Observatory in the history of Northern Qi.

Thinking carefully about the night when the previous emperor passed away, Yun Chen's attitude towards Ye Wenyan, as well as the attitude of the chief eunuch Wu Fei, the old lady became more and more convinced of a guess in her heart -

"Maybe it's Yun Chen who has taken a fancy to Ye Wenyan!"
