Chapter 414 Gift Giving

Ji Rong came to a conclusion: "When I was in Quanzhou, my aunt said that if a couple really loves each other deeply, then after one of them dies, the other will definitely not be willing to throw away anything. True lovers want to hold everything that has the other's scent in their arms and sleep with it. Those who burn this and that and throw this and that after the person dies are mostly because they feel guilty. They feel sorry for the deceased, they dare not face it, and they are afraid of having nightmares..."

Ji Rong had been guarding Fuluyuan, but when Ye Wenyan arrived last night, she put down a sound barrier around the old lady's room, so no one except her and the old lady could hear the noise in the room. Even Jun Tao, who was guarding the bed, slept until dawn and had no idea what was going on.

So it was difficult for Jun Tao and Ji Rong to understand why the old lady suddenly mentioned the ghost story.

Zhuier said, "She has a ghost in her heart, so she feels there are ghosts around her even in broad daylight. I think the old lady's illness will never be cured. Sooner or later, she will scare herself to death."

Ye Wenyan thought to herself that she couldn't really let the old lady scare herself to death. She still had so many things to know and so many questions to ask. If she died like that, she wouldn't be able to explain to the real Fourth Miss Ye, and this body wouldn't acknowledge her.

"Watch it!" She handed a pill to Ji Rong, "She can't die yet. If something unexpected happens, give her this pill."

Ji Duo took the pill and said, "I'll keep an eye on her! Master, please keep Ji Rong with you at all times. This way, we can feel at ease and have an explanation to our family."

Ji Rong nodded immediately, "Yes, Master, please keep me by your side! Aunt, you always let her stay with the Madam. If my brother and I can't follow you in and out, then there is no point in us coming here. If anything happens to you, I'm afraid we won't have to worry about it anymore."

She sounded aggrieved and even looked at Zhuier at the end. The meaning was very clear, she just wanted Zhuier to help speak up.

Zhuier thought about it and said, "What they said makes sense."

Ye Wenyan laughed, "It's not that I don't want you to follow me, but there are too many things to do at home, and we need help everywhere. And even if I'm busy outside, I really won't encounter anything that could cause me to get into trouble. Even if I do, I can protect myself."

"Master, do you think my brother and I are not good at martial arts?" Ji Rong was a little anxious. "Then we can ask the Ji family to exchange for two more. We have more powerful masters in our family, and some can even be on par with the second young master. As long as you say the word, we can have as many as you want."

Ye Wenyan waved his hand, "That's not the case. When did I say I don't like you? Since you are here, you are mine from the day you came. If you are good, I will be relieved. If you are not good, I also have the responsibility to make you better. As for Ji Rong following me, if she wants to follow me, then follow her. Anyway, you have mentioned it many times, and I have agreed, but then changed my mind. It's my fault."

When Ye Wenyan talked to her subordinates, there was never any obvious trace of master-servant relationship. She could give orders casually and admit her mistakes naturally.

The people who followed her went from being terrified at first to gradually getting used to and accepting her, which made the secret guards of the Prince Ren's Palace dumbfounded, and at the same time they were also a little envious. They even wondered if they were not in the Prince Ren's Palace, but in the General's Palace, and were under the command of Miss Ye Si, would their lives be very different from before.

However, this matter can only be thought about, and the established facts cannot be changed. Fortunately, life is different now, and the third prince is much calmer now than before. And they are traveling between the Prince's Palace and the General's Palace, which means they have gained the trust of the two masters. It is also something to be proud of.

Ji Duo went to Fuluyuan again, and Ji Rong stayed behind, standing behind Ye Wenyan with Zhuier.

Ji Rong even discussed with Ye Wenyan, "Master, don't change your mind this time. You changed your mind several times before, and I didn't care about it. This time you must keep your word and don't push me out again."

Zhuier also chimed in: "Yes! Feelings are something that can only be cultivated through long-term companionship. If two people are not together all the time, the relationship will slowly fade and they will never be able to go back to the way they were before. Especially if you keep going back and forth like Miss, it will be easier to hurt the other person, and once you're hurt, they won't be friends with you anymore."

Ye Wenyan stroked her forehead. Was it because she always taught Zhuier about the later world and she was a little too much? Why did she say this as if they were dating? Could this damn girl be a little serious all day long?

The secret guards of the Prince's Palace became more and more envious of the way they got along with each other, and even imagined how great it would be if the Third Prince could also communicate with them in this way.

But this is just a fantasy. After all, that is the Third Prince. If the Third Prince can also talk and communicate like this, it will scare people to death! I really don’t know what the Second Young Master Ye is thinking. How can such a fierce person stay by my side from childhood to adulthood? Isn’t it boring?

"Fourth Miss." The secret guards of Prince Ren's Palace concentrated their minds and finally returned to the main business. They told Ye Wenyan, "The second wife has been upset recently because of the co-wife issue, but she is just upset and has not delayed her from making plans for herself. I heard her tell the maid named Jinxiu that she will go to the palace in the next few days to meet Queen Mother Li."

Ye Wenyan laughed when he heard this. Xiao Shubai went to the palace to see Empress Dowager Li, so he must have gone for Ye Hongzhuang. But what bargaining chips did Ye Hongzhuang have now? She had lost her child, so Empress Dowager Li must hate her to death, right? What else could Xiao Shubai bring to see Empress Dowager Li?

There was nothing to do on this day. Red lanterns had already been hung in the mansion and the servants had already cut out the characters for "happiness" and were ready.

Ye Jingsheng was counting the days on his fingers, and he was in a very good mood. He even did not show any unhappiness when he met her several times. I guess he wanted to have good luck and a few days of peace.

Ye Wenyan was not sleepy either. She wandered around the mansion whenever she had nothing to do, from morning to night, until the evening. Ye Jingsheng finally couldn't stand it anymore, and asked her when he met her again: "Why are you wandering around? Go back to your room if you have nothing to do. What other girl would wander around like you?"

Ye Wenyan laughed when he heard it, "Second uncle, what you mean is that I can't even take a walk in my own house? You are such a unique head of the family. You even have to mark out the lines in the house to tell who can walk and who can't. Those who can walk can only walk a few laps at most. It sounds very impressive! But second uncle, don't forget that the rules of this general's house were never set by you. My grandfather set them before, and then my father set them. Even now, second uncle, I am standing in front of you. Is it your turn to make the decision?"

She stretched out her hand, put her five fingers together, and pointed them at Ye Jingsheng's neck like a knife.

"Mind your own business, and leave me alone!"

Ye Jingsheng shrank his neck, and fear suddenly covered his whole body. He almost thought that Ye Wenyan was holding a knife, and he could cut his throat with just a move, or even cut off his head with a little more force. "Whatever you want." He took a few steps back and ran away from the front yard almost as if he was running for his life.

Ji Rong, who had been accompanying Ye Wenyan, said, "It's obvious that the second master has done something wrong, otherwise he wouldn't be so easily frightened. I don't know how anyone can still like this man when he is so cowardly. Whether it's the lady and concubine in our mansion, or the one outside, their vision needs to be improved!"

Zhuier also sighed: "Why don't you try your best to scare him to death, it's really annoying."

Ye Wenyan shook his head, "Death is sooner or later, but not now. A good friend of mine once said something. She said that chopping someone off with a guillotine is the most refreshing way to get rid of the pain, but if you really hate someone, you can't satisfy yourself by chopping him off with a guillotine, and you won't feel any pain at all. If you want revenge, you have to cut the flesh with a blunt knife, one cut at a time, bit by bit. Only in this way can you feel the pleasure of revenge, and only in this way can you release the hatred in your heart and gradually subside in the process. So we are not in a hurry, we will grind him down bit by bit, and sooner or later we will grind him down." "Grind his whole family to death!" Zhuier clenched his fist, "Don't let anyone go, including the married third lady!"

She nodded, "Okay, don't let any of them go." After that, she looked at the entrance of the mansion, "The people who were sent to deliver the gifts should be back by now, right?"

Ye Wenyan also did one thing tonight, which was to give a gift to the Fourth Prince.

The gift-giving process was quite formal, and Xiangdong brought Ali, a maid in the courtyard, to do it together.

The gifts were generous, including antiques, calligraphy and paintings, as well as gold, silver and jade. She also packed a small box of pills, which were life-saving pills infused with spiritual power. No matter if the person was seriously injured or seriously ill, one pill could save his life.

The visit was a formal one. She brought her name tag and walked into the mansion through the main gate with her.

She didn't know the result yet, she only heard the report from the secret guards of Prince Ren's Palace that Miss Xiangdong and Miss Ali had already entered Prince Chen's Palace, but he didn't follow them after they entered. After all, the people in Prince Chen's Palace were not pushovers, and the Fourth Prince himself was a top master, so they were already taking a big risk by following them outside.

And the key point is that they are not afraid of being discovered or fighting, but they are afraid of being discovered and ruining the fourth young lady's business.

So he could only follow them to the gate of the mansion, watch Xiangdong and Ali go in, and then come back to report immediately.

Ye Wenyan was actually quite nervous. She was afraid that Quan Qinghua was still angry and would think that she was a weasel visiting a chicken with bad intentions when she saw her people coming to give gifts. It was good enough to refuse Xiangdong and Ali. If they were beaten up again, it would be a big deal.

Fortunately, the person has entered the mansion, and according to the time, he should be back by now. I feel a little nervous when I think about it.

I don't know whether they will bring back good news or bad news...
