Chapter 444 Don’t Test Human Nature

The stench of a corpse had already begun to spread in the house. Ji Rong and Zhuier were lying at the door watching the fun. Xiao Shubai also rushed over after vomiting in the front yard for a while, but he started vomiting again when he saw the corpse as soon as he entered the house.

She vomited again and again. When she finished vomiting, Chi Hongfang and his men had left. Only the old lady and Ye Jingsheng and his mother were left in the room, looking at each other in bewilderment. There was water all over the floor where the body had been placed, and the smell was still unpleasant.

She walked in with her head held high, looked at Ye Jingsheng, then at the old lady, and after a while, she breathed a sigh of relief, "It was a misunderstanding. I just heard from the servants in the front yard that Jun Tao was like a fool when she was sent away, and she was still sucking her fingers! I think she was traumatized and forgot many things. She only remembered that she had killed a maid who served the old lady. It should be that the fourth lady reported to the authorities, and the authorities came to search for the body." The old lady was in a daze for a while, and then she said, "Stupid? How can a person suddenly become stupid? Someone saw Ji Nu, who was beside the fourth girl, arrest her before, why did she suddenly become stupid? Is she pretending?"

After Xiao Shubai calmed down, his brain gradually began to work, and he immediately analyzed: "It shouldn't be fake. The fourth lady is so smart, Jun Tao can't hide it from her. In my opinion, it is very likely that the fourth lady tortured him and scared him silly."

"Use, torture?" The old lady's face turned pale. "Torture means confession. If Jun Tao confessed, then... why didn't Ye Wenyan come to seek revenge from us?" At this point, the old lady didn't care about the tacit agreement and said directly, "Jun Tao knows about the boss's affairs and the old man's affairs. If she really confessed, Ye Wenyan would definitely pick up a knife and kill people, right?"

Ye Jingsheng sat down in a chair angrily and said dissatisfiedly: "At the beginning, I said that we should not trust those servants too much. Servants are servants. They are the mothers of whoever feeds them. They will work hard for whoever gives them more money. But mother said that Jun Tao was raised by her side since she was a child and is absolutely reliable. What about now? Let me tell you! Isn't this roasting us on the fire?"

"What's the point of you saying this now?" Xiao Shubai scolded him lightly, and immediately said to the old lady, "Jun Tao has definitely confessed, but I don't know why the fourth lady didn't come directly to the door. I always feel that she may not want revenge immediately, otherwise she would not send the government to retrieve the body. Of course, retrieving the body is definitely not her original intention. The original intention should be... to deter?"

Xiao Shubai was still thinking as she spoke, "But she obviously knows the truth, but she still wants to shock people. What's the purpose? Is there something she wants to know but doesn't know yet?" When she said this, her heart skipped a beat and she suddenly thought of something, and then she was overjoyed.

She had always been afraid that Ye Wenyan would know the truth, but what if she used this incident to exchange Ye Wenyan for a chance to live? It didn't seem impossible.

Xiao Shubai was happy in his heart, but he didn't show it. His face remained calm and peaceful. He even asked the old lady, "Why did the maid who trusted you so much at the beginning, the maid who was raised by your side since childhood, betray your master and run away? Old lady, why did Jun Tao run away?"

The old lady's heart twitched, and she snorted fiercely, "How do I know why she ran away? Anyway, she ran away. I think she felt that she knew too much and she was unsure!" After that, she glared at Ye Jingsheng, "Don't blame me for keeping Jun Tao by my side. Your Xichun is not a good thing. She actually used that method to threaten you to take her as a concubine. Who is the person she kept outside who knows about it? Have you checked? We can't just let it go. Even if Ye Wenyan doesn't pursue this matter, if it gets to other people's ears, we will be guilty of death!"

Ye Jingsheng sat up straight and nodded seriously, "Son will definitely find a way to check it out."

"And you!" The old lady looked at Xiao Shubai, "You also have a maidservant who knows everything by your side. She will also bring trouble in the future."

Xiao Shubai nodded, "I will pay more attention and never let something like this happen again."

The old lady was upset, wondering why Ye Wenyan hadn't come to see her yet. She looked at Xiao Shubai again, and the more she looked at him, the more disgusted she felt.

"You should think about Hongzhuang again." She said to Xiao Shubai, "It's really unlucky. Why didn't Jun Tao run away earlier or later, but had to run away as soon as she got home? Your daughter is so depressed, send her away quickly!"

Outside Fulu Courtyard, Ye Wenyan leaned against a big tree, watching the scene from afar, laughing as he watched.

Ye Feizhou was standing beside him, also listening and watching. The vision and hearing of the desperate master were fully utilized at this moment, allowing him to see clearly everything that happened in the front hall of Fulu Courtyard.

He said to Ye Wenyan, "I seem to understand why you want me to break off relations with the Second House and come to your First House. I used to think that the worst thing they could do was to exchange Ye Hongzhuang for you and send you to Prince Su's Mansion to get married. But I didn't expect that they would do such a thing before that."

Ye Wenyan tilted his head, "Second brother guessed it?"

He nodded. "Well, although they didn't say it explicitly, I'm not stupid. I just don't understand. Whether it's grandpa or uncle, they are their closest relatives. Uncle is their biological son and grandpa is their biological father. How could they do this?"

Ye Wenyan smiled, "Why can't they go down? It can be for the benefit, or for the face. In short, as long as they are good to themselves, they can do whatever it takes to clear the obstacles. You see, once my father dies, my second uncle will become the head of the family. This is the benefit."

"Just for the position of family head, you have to kill someone?" Ye Feizhou shook his head, "I still don't believe it."

Ye Wenyan smiled, but didn't go into details.

For Ye Jingsheng, he was just for the position of the head of the family, but for the old lady, she was trying to get the status and property of the Ye family for her son who was born to someone else. Although it is always said that there is no money on the books, for a big family like the Ye family, the money is not only on the books, but also in the bank, including so many fields and real estate outside.

This is a family that can truly be described as wealthy and powerful. Who wouldn't be tempted?

The old lady had been scheming all her life and had disgusted the old general all her life. She didn't expect that even after her death, she would continue to disgust him.

She began to count on her fingers. If the old lady was no longer the old lady of the Ye family, then no matter what she did, it should have nothing to do with the Ye family, right? The eldest family was the biggest victim, and the nine clans should not be killed together with the victims.

As for the second house, it was not the old general's offspring. Once this matter was exposed, no matter what the second house did, it would not affect the first house. So, in the end, only Ye Chulian and Liu needed her to find a solution. As long as she could get rid of these two, she could start to deal with the old lady, and then deal with the second house. Even if Miss Ye Si's revenge was avenged, her body could warm up.

Spring is here, flowers are blooming, and then summer comes. When she recovers, she will follow Shi Liyuan to find the blue fox, and go to Guiyue to see Feng Zhaolian. She has to sell her jewelry all over the continent and put up a big flag with her name on it on the shoreless sea. There are so many things waiting for her to do, this first-class general's mansion is really boring.

"What are you thinking about?" Ye Feizhou asked her.

She came back to her senses and pointed at the courtyard. "I was thinking about human nature. Human nature cannot stand the test. Even the person who gave birth to you cannot stand the test. Second brother, listen to what your second uncle is saying. He said that Ye Hongzhuang is useless now. It is a waste of food to keep her at home and it will bring bad luck. It is better to send her to a nunnery and let fate decide her life and death. Listen, is this what a father should say? Although in my opinion Ye Hongzhuang deserves to die, but when these words come from a father's mouth, then this father deserves to die just like his damned daughter."

Ye Feizhou also leaned against the tree, looking a little lonely, but not sad. He said to Ye Wenyan: "I am now more balanced. It turns out that they don't just dislike me, they just dislike people who can't help them. Including Ye Wushuang who is about to enter the mansion. If one day she is also abandoned by the family, then my father's attitude towards her will be the same." While talking, Xiao Shubai and Ye Jingsheng in the front hall had already started arguing. The two of them were arguing back and forth, and neither of them gave in. Xiao Shubai even pointed at the old lady's nose and scolded her.

Ye Wenyan found it more and more interesting. "It's so exciting when dogs bite each other, but it's not the most exciting yet. Let's wait until the end and see what real humanity is." She straightened up and looked at Ye Feizhou. "So, brother, there's no need to feel that anyone owes anyone anything. None of you owe anyone anything. You all deserve to die or live."

After saying that, the person turned and left. Ye Feizhou was stunned and subconsciously pulled her. Ye Wenyan did not stop, and this time he pulled nothing. Ye Wenyan waved his hand behind him, "Don't say anything. I don't care about the deal you made with Ye Hongzhuang. I just want to remind you not to make the same mistake as last time. I can't always follow you and treat you, and it's impossible that other people's subordinates will never have masters who are stronger than you. Maybe next time you won't be so lucky and you won't be able to come back."

She walked away, but he still stood there. He was silent for a long while, and finally sighed helplessly.

"Xiao Si, for the last time, I have to do this. Not only for the Third Prince, but also for you."

The next day, Xiao Shubai brought Ye Hongzhuang into the palace.

Ye Hongzhuang was determined to tell Empress Dowager Li about her experience in Prince Su's Mansion. She believed that Empress Dowager Li would find a way to get rid of this fake Sixth Prince and do her best to rescue her son.

But Xiao Shubai reminded her, "You don't have a child now, so you are of no use to Queen Mother Li. She may be grateful to you for telling her the news, but at most she will give you some rewards, nothing else. But what's the point of us asking for rewards? We still need someone to rely on. Tomorrow your father's concubine will come to the mansion, not only will she bring a daughter as old as you, but she is also pregnant with a baby whose name we don't know. If we don't have a supporter, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in this family any longer."
