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

Chapter 41 You dare to scold my daughter again

On the way back, Mrs. Mu was held by her two daughters, but she kept looking back along the way.

Ye Lianmian never caught up. Just like in the past, every time she went to Fuluyuan to pay her respects, the daughter would always stay there to accompany the old lady and never wanted to go with her.

Ye Qingmei knew what her mother was thinking, but she couldn't persuade her mother about this matter, because no matter whether she was trying to persuade her mother or her second sister, they had tried to persuade them too many times and never succeeded.

Now that her father was gone, she had a premonition that her twin sister would drift further and further away from their family, and that they would fall out of control with each other.

Her eldest brother once said something that she thought made a lot of sense: The most difficult thing to find in life is regret. As long as you choose to let go, it is mostly impossible to get it back later.

That’s it for Ye Mianlian!

She sighed in her heart, not wanting to think about her sister anymore, and turned to Ye Wenyan, "Since you came back from Prince Mu's Mansion, your attitude towards Grandmother seems to be very bad. Although you used to be arrogant and domineering, you valued courtesy very much. Whether it was Grandfather or Grandmother, including Second Uncle and Second Aunt, you always greeted them with a smile and treated them with great courtesy. Why has there been such a big change in the past few days?"

This has been the question in her mind all along.

Ye Wenyan looked at her and asked, "Big sister, don't you think that grandma and second uncle and second aunt have changed more? They used to welcome us with a smile, and grandma even said that I was the most promising child in the Ye family. But what about now? They dared to change my marriage and dared to take you to Fuluyuan to kneel. Compared with them, I am considered reserved. If they had treated me like this in the past, I would have turned against them long ago." Ye Qingmei thought about it and still shook her head, "That's not what I meant. Yan'er, I have seen their changes, but if you argue with them like mother, I can understand. But it seems that you are not like that. You seem to be..." She couldn't say how to describe it. She felt that her sister seemed to have turned into a warrior, fighting with the old lady every day.

"It's revenge, but also a way to vent anger." Mu took over the conversation, "Yan'er, you mentioned the truth about the old man and your father's death several times, but do you have any doubts?"

Ye Wenyan's face darkened. "Don't you have any doubts? Grandfather's life span was less than 60 years, and father's life span was even more than that. Why did they both die when they shouldn't have?"

Ye Qingmei thought for a moment and said, "Father has not been in good health in the past two years, and grandfather has a lot of old illnesses. Maybe these are the reasons! It can't be that someone harmed them. They are all family members. Who could harm them?"

"That's hard to say." Ye Wenyan snorted coldly, "If you didn't feel guilty, why didn't they dare to do anything to me despite my aggressiveness these days? Do you think Grandmother and Second Aunt are the kind of people who can swallow their grievances?"

Ye Qingmei thought about it and shook her head, "No, so what you mean is..."

"Nothing has been determined yet. I am just guessing and testing again and again." She told her mother and sister, "The deceased relatives need the truth to comfort their souls. As long as we don't give up, we will find out the truth one day."

Mu stopped talking, frowning as if thinking about something. Ye Qingmei sighed again, lowered his head and said no more.

But Ye Wenyan asked again: "Sister, who lives in your former yard now?"

Ye Qingmei said: "It's the fifth sister."

"Ye Chulian?"

"Well, the book was found by the fifth sister. It is said that she was frightened at the time, and later the servants reported it to the old lady." When she said this, she quickly reminded Ye Wenyan, "Yan'er, this matter has nothing to do with Chu Lian, you must not think too much. The book was indeed given to me by my mother. At that time, she asked me to keep it first, and I just put it in the box. Later, when the family held a funeral, I forgot about it. When we moved that day, our things were all taken away, and we moved out one box after another. Not to mention that I didn't remember it, even if I remembered it, there was no chance to get the book back."

Ye Qingmei was talking about these things one by one, but Ye Wenyan was flipping through his memories about Ye Chulian.

The original owner did not have a very deep impression of this half-sister, and in her fifteen years of memory there was very little about Ye Chulian.

She remembered that once the original owner saw Xiao beating Liu, and Ye Chulian stood by and cried. The servants wanted to take her away, but Xiao refused, saying that he wanted her to stay there and watch to see what the fate of an undisciplined woman would be.

That year the original owner was six years old and Ye Chulian was only four years old. It was also from that time that the original owner knew how Liu was promoted to a concubine, and also understood what it meant to be indecent.

Another time, when the original owner had grown up a little, about twelve or thirteen years old, Ye Hongzhuang invited her to go shopping together, and Ye Chulian wanted to go with her. Ye Hongzhuang despised Ye Chulian because she was born to a concubine, so she pushed her hard and scolded her back.

Since then, Ye Chulian never took the initiative to play with them again, and even did not take the initiative to speak to them except for greeting them on weekdays. No matter what time, she would timidly follow behind Liu, not daring to look up, as humble as the lowest servant in the general's mansion.

Maybe Ye Qingmei was right. This matter had nothing to do with Ye Chulian. It was reported by the servants. And for such a humble concubine, how could the servants around her be chosen by herself? Most of them were sent by the Xiao family. How could she make the decision?

Ye Qingmei had been kneeling in Fulu Courtyard for a long time, and her knees hurt when she walked. Her maid Ruizhu came forward to support her, and said to Mu and Ye Wenyan, "Madam, Fourth Miss, you go first. I will help the eldest lady walk slowly."

Before Madam Mu could say anything, they heard footsteps coming from behind. Everyone turned around and saw that it was the servant from the front yard running towards them, shouting as he ran, "Fourth Miss, Fourth Miss, go to the front yard and take a look. Your maid has brought a group of officials to the general's mansion!"

Ye Wenyan almost laughed out loud. Attacking the General's Mansion? It sounded like her maid was going to revolt!

She ignored the boy and just took her mother and elder sister's arms and said, "Let's go and see what's going on."

Ye Qingmei was a little scared, "Yan'er, what happened? Which of your maids went to take the officials? Are they allowed to walk on the street now? Why did they come to our house?"

Ye Wenyan smiled and said, "You'll know when you go and see it. It's always a very lively event."

When they arrived at the front yard, the old lady and Mrs. Xiao had already arrived, and even Ye Feiyu was there.

Ye Wenyan thought of the young master from the second house, so he asked Xiang Dong in a low voice: "Where is my second brother? Why haven't I seen him?"

Xiang Dong said, "The second young master went back to his hometown in Ping County to attend the funeral. It is a custom in his hometown that a funeral banquet should be held after the burial of the old master and the eldest master. The eldest young master came back early because he had to prepare for the imperial examination next year, so the second young master was left there to take care of the funeral. Miss, how could you have forgotten this? The eldest young master mentioned this after he came back."

She nodded her forehead and said, "My memory hasn't been very good recently. Maybe it's because I was thrown out to the suburbs to freeze that day."

On the other side, Xiao was on the verge of collapse. When she saw someone coming from the first house, she rushed over and grabbed Mu's wrist. "I have already apologized to you, why is this matter not over yet? Why do you want to report to the police to arrest someone?"

Mu didn't react for a moment, "What are you talking about?"

Xiao gnashed her teeth and said, "It's about the pig cage!"

Mu was even more confused. "We didn't report to the police, so we're going to throw Hongzhuang into a pig cage? Did my sister-in-law misunderstand?" After she said that, she shook her wrist hard and threw Xiao far away.

Ye Wenyan saw this and nodded. It seemed that this mother was not a good person. She even had some kung fu skills. Although her kung fu skills were average, not very good, she could barely fight against the old lady's maid.

"Didn't you report it to the authorities? No, it was clearly this little bitch's maid who brought people back. I saw it clearly!" Xiao stretched out her hand to point at Ye Wenyan, but before she turned her head back, Mu slapped her in the face!

"Who are you calling a little bitch? Why do you insult my daughter in front of me, Xiao Shubai?"

"Just because I'm the mistress of the house now!" Xiao screamed like crazy, "Mu Qianqiu, how dare you hit me, you——"

She wanted to say you are looking for death and wanted to fight back, but she saw Ye Wenyan silently handing Mu a kitchen knife.

The words after the word "you" changed to: "What do you want to do?"

Mu was holding the kitchen knife, wondering why her daughter kept it with her. But now was not the time to worry about it, so she pointed the kitchen knife at Xiao and shouted, "What do you think I want to do? Xiao Shubai, if you dare to take another step forward and scold my daughter again, I will chop you to death!"

Xiao took a deep breath and kept telling herself to calm down. Her daughter's face had already been stabbed by Ye Wenyan, and she couldn't bear another blow from Mu. This mother and daughter weren't so evil, and each of them wanted to chop people with a knife. She couldn't let this happen.

Thinking of this, he involuntarily stepped back until he was next to the old lady.

The old lady glanced at the kitchen knife in Mu's hand, then silently moved to the side, away from Xiao.

On the other side, Zhuier jumped and ran towards Ye Wenyan, and replied loudly to her master: "Miss, I have reported it to the authorities. The government attaches great importance to this matter. The prefectural governor, Lord Chi, has brought people here personally. And, Miss, look, Lord Yun from the Imperial Observatory who came to our house that night, he is here too——"

Ye Wenyan looked in the direction of Zhuier's finger and saw two people standing in front of a group of officials. One of them was wearing a scarlet official robe, about 40 years old, slightly fat, but with regular facial features. I guess he was the prefect of Lin'an City.

The other man was wearing a gray-blue robe, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, and still had that familiar forced smile on his face.

It was the Director of the Imperial Observatory, Yun Chen.

She smiled and greeted, "Hi, Master Yun."
