Chapter 438 Who is back?

In the General's Mansion, Ye Jingsheng took one last look at the lanterns in the front yard and expressed dissatisfaction with the number of them hanging.

The housekeeper Zhou Cheng explained to him, "The public account is not well-off. A lot of money has been spent on the new lady's household items. There is really no extra money for these decorations. Moreover, although the three-month mourning period has passed, the deceased are old generals and generals, and the younger generation cannot marry within three years. The second master has broken the taboo by welcoming a concubine into the house, so it is not appropriate to hang too many red lanterns. I would like to advise the second master that some taboos should be avoided. Even if you don't care about these, you should think about the new lady and at least let her leave a good impression in front of the ancestors."

Ye Jingsheng was originally very angry when he heard that there was no money in the account, and he was even angrier when he heard about the funeral. But the housekeeper was so good at talking, and with a word of thinking about the new wife, he surrendered directly, nodded obediently, and no longer had any doubts.

Xichun was also busy in the front yard, but she was busy with the night view. She would ask the master if he was thirsty, then ask if he was hungry, and then look towards the gate of the mansion to see if the second lady had returned.

Ye Feizhou also walked around the front yard for a few times, and bumped into Ye Jingsheng several times, but he didn't even raise his head and simply ignored him.

Ye Jingsheng was very angry about this. Seeing that he was angry, Xichun quickly turned his back on him and said aggrievedly, "It's a pity that I am just a concubine and cannot speak for you, Master. Last time, I said a few words to the Second Young Master and was beaten by the Fourth Young Lady. Master, just calm down and just pretend that you don't have this son. You will have a new son in the future."

Ye Jingsheng was thinking about his new son and pondering the baby in Chang Xueqiao's belly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

Ye Feizhou had no intention of following Ye Jingsheng who was daydreaming about beautiful things. He looked outside the mansion gate again and saw that there was no movement, so he prepared to return to Yujing Garden. He had heard about Xiao Shubai dressing up and leaving the mansion a long time ago, and he had guessed what he was going to do. Although he didn't care about the result, he was still a little worried, because he had told Ye Hongzhuang about the message without telling Ye Wenyan. If the matter got out of hand, he wouldn't be able to explain it in front of Ye Wenyan.

I was thinking about something and didn't look up while walking, nor did I pay attention to what was happening around me. As a result, I was stopped by someone after only a few steps.

He stopped and looked up, and saw Ye Wenyan looking at him with a smile on his face. He asked him, "Is Second Brother going back to the house? Don't be in a hurry to go back. Second Aunt hasn't returned yet. There may be a good show today. Let's go and watch it together!"

As she spoke, she stepped forward and pulled Ye Feizhou. He subconsciously shrank back, causing Ye Wenyan to sneer.

When he looked at his fourth sister who was talking to him, she had already walked past him and went straight to the front yard.

Outside the Ye Mansion, Jinxiu gave a general account of what was going on at home. Although she did not explain it in detail, she still mentioned a few key points.

For example, the second young master has been adopted by the first wife and has no relationship with the second wife. For example, the old lady was possessed by evil spirits a while ago and kept saying that there were ghosts. As a result, she fell seriously ill and the ghost was never found. Another example is that Xichun became a concubine and was deeply loved by the second master. Now the lady's status in the mansion is no longer the same as before.

Of course, all of the above cannot compare to the last thing, which is that the second master is going to marry a concubine.

Ye Hongzhuang was so angry that her face turned red. She lifted her skirt and walked towards the mansion.

Xiao Shubai saw that she was walking quite nimbly and did not look like she was seriously injured, and he could not help but feel a little regretful.

It looks like she can still hold on in the Prince Su's Mansion for a while. As long as she holds on, it's better than being taken back! After all, she is the Prince Su's wife. No matter whether the Sixth Prince admits it or not, at least others recognize her, which is better than having no status at all. But now that she has been taken back, she has given up the honor of the Prince Su's Mansion and will be the third lady of the General's Mansion from now on.

The third young lady of the general's mansion was worth some money when the old master was alive, but now that the old master is gone, who would care about the third young lady? Moreover, she was a married young lady who had lost her virginity?

Is the daughter she redeemed for one million taels of silver still of any use to her?

Seeing her wife standing at the gate of the mansion thinking about something, Jinxiu guessed what she was thinking about, so she quickly lowered her voice and said, "Madam, as long as you have the green mountains, you will not be afraid of firewood. I also understood it in the carriage just now. Now the reason why the Sixth Prince does not recognize our Third Miss is because he is a fake. So what are we afraid of? The Third Miss married the real one, not him. As long as we find the real one, everything will be back on track."

Xiao Shubai nodded, "You're right. As long as we find Zhen, everything will return to square one. Hongzhuang is still Princess Su. Although we lost the child, we have made preparations before." She took a deep breath and became energetic again. "Let's go back to the mansion. I have to go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother of the West Palace tomorrow morning. It is definitely not possible to find someone by ourselves."

When Xiao Shubai returned home, the first thing he heard was Xichun's scream: "Master, look, who's back?" Then he heard Ye Hongzhuang's voice: "Shut up! You, a maid, don't have the right to speak here!"

Xichun quickly hid behind Ye Jingsheng. Although he looked scared, he was still talking: "Isn't that the Third Miss? Why is she back? Is she visiting relatives or something? If she is visiting relatives, then she is now the Princess Su. Master, should we kneel down to greet her? Although you are her father, if she acts like a princess, we still have to kneel down."

Ye Jingsheng snorted angrily, and without responding to Xichun's words, he only loudly questioned Ye Hongzhuang: "Why did you come back? Aren't you ashamed enough? You should stay in Prince Su's Mansion honestly now, and don't go out casually unless it's important, so that our whole family won't be stabbed in the back because of you!"

Xichun echoed, "Yes, the fact that she got pregnant before getting married is still being discussed by people outside. They dare not say anything to the Sixth Prince, so they can only say bad things to our master. Third Miss, I am not saying anything bad about you, but you are really embarrassing the master." Ye Hongzhuang was so angry that she trembled, "This is my home. I can go back whenever I want. It is not your turn as a servant to have a say. Don't think that you are more noble than before because you are my father's concubine. In my eyes, you will always be a servant of Ye Wenyan, the concubine, and a lowly slave who can never be on the stage!"

When she said this, she was almost screaming at the top of her lungs. The anger she had endured in Prince Su's Mansion for the past few months completely exploded at this moment. She rushed over to fight with Xichun, but was pushed out by Ye Jingsheng and fell directly to the ground.

The wounds on her body finally brought her excruciating pain. Ye Hongzhuang screamed and no longer cared about arguing with Ye Jingsheng and Xichun. She just took deep breaths to relieve the pain.

But even so, the fall still made her face turn pale and she almost fainted.

Xiao Shubai rushed over and tried to help Ye Hongzhuang, but no matter where she touched, Ye Hongzhuang felt pain. Only then did she realize how serious her daughter's injuries were, and she began to regret what she had just thought about outside the mansion. This was the daughter she had taken care of since she was a child, the daughter on whom all her hopes were placed. Now that she had lost her son, she could not live without this daughter.

"Ye Jingsheng!" Xiao Shubai shouted, "Open your eyes and look, she is Hongzhuang, your most beloved daughter! How could you treat her like this? Could it be that our Hongzhuang is not as good as the little bitch you are protecting behind you?"

She shouted and cried, and while crying she asked Ye Hongzhuang if it hurt and where it hurt.

Ye Feizhou, who had just returned, saw this scene and felt even more uncomfortable.

Ye Jingsheng took a few steps forward and talked to Xiao Shubai and Ye Hongzhuang. Ye Wenyan heard that they were talking about who they loved the most, Ye Hongzhuang or Xichun, and Xichun would occasionally chime in. She felt it was quite boring, and felt that Xichun had been with the original owner for so many years, but she really hadn't learned any of the essence. The former Fourth Miss Ye was also very sharp when she was arguing with people.

What a pity, Xichun kept saying those petty words over and over again, just as Ye Hongzhuang said, not up to standard.

She tugged at Ye Feizhou's sleeve, "Second brother, tell me, what did Hongzhuang promise you that night that made you help her so much? Don't tell me it was just that mutton restaurant! If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, I will only think that you still can't let go of your second uncle and second aunt's family, and you still think that they are your biological parents and sister, and you will help them without hesitation."

"No!" Ye Feizhou immediately denied, "It's definitely not what you think. I don't have any attachment to them at all."

"Then why did you help Ye Hongzhuang?" She tilted her head slightly, staring at Ye Feizhou, "Brother, could it be that she knew something about the Third Prince, so you fell for it?" Ye Wenyan felt that her guess was very reliable. She said to Ye Feizhou, "I don't care if you pass on information for Ye Hongzhuang, and I also believe that you will not do anything that harms my interests in the process of doing business with her. But brother, I must remind you that no matter what the Third Prince has to do, it will definitely be much easier for me to do it than for you. You can get information from Ye Hongzhuang, but if there is any action, I am your best choice."

After she finished speaking, she walked forward without waiting for Ye Feizhou to answer.

Those people were still arguing, and she heard Xiao Shubai say, "Hongzhuang's life in Prince Su's Mansion is not good. The Sixth Prince beats her day and night, and she is covered with bruises. You are a father, don't you feel sorry for her? She is your daughter, the third lady of our First-Rank General's Mansion! If we don't make decisions for her, who else can make decisions for her?"

Ye Wenyan laughed immediately, "Third Miss? Isn't the Third Miss the Ye Wushuang who is about to enter the mansion? How come there is another Third Miss?"
