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

Chapter 523: Moral High Ground

It was painful when the ugly scars were exposed again, but Quan Qinghua was used to this pain. After all, no pain could compare to what Concubine Li said back then - "She told my father that she wanted to live, and if my father wanted to get rid of this evil thought, he could send her son as a hostage, and it didn't matter even if he died in Guiyue, because that was his fate."

The old things made him laugh. He asked Ye Wenyan, "Have you ever seen a mother like this?" Then, without waiting for her to reply, he continued, "Some things will make people more and more paranoid if they are kept in their hearts for too long. I hated her at first, and then I hated my third brother, because if he hadn't exposed it, this matter wouldn't have been exposed so quickly, and I wouldn't have been sent to Guiyue as a hostage when I was a teenager.

But the reason why I really hate him is not because of this. What I really hate him for is that since he chose to expose the truth, why did he save her from the sea of fire? The woman I couldn't kill chose to burn herself to death, so why did Quan Qingyun save her and keep her in Luoyun Village for so many years?

At first I thought he might want to give me an explanation after many years, or he might feel guilty towards me, so he wanted to make up for it in this way. But he didn't know that she was a mother who could sacrifice her son's life for her own pleasure.

Later, I thought about it in the wrong direction and began to think that he wanted to use this to threaten me, so that I, the son who was once the most valued by my father, would have no chance of becoming emperor and would no longer be able to compete with him for anything.

So over the years I have been trying to steal his business and trying every possible way to collect or even forge evidence of his collusion with foreign parties, just to put him to death and make him pay the price for what he has done.

Later, I couldn't do it anymore. I was tired. I sent the last batch of assassins to Luoyun Village to kill people. If that thing succeeded... Junior sister, you will never see me again today. The mother killer is hated by both humans and gods, so I died with her. It's nothing. Unfortunately, she was saved by your second brother. Junior sister, what do you think I should do? "

He spoke the last part calmly, as if he was telling someone else's story.

But Ye Wenyan understood that the more he acted like he didn't care, the more he cared to the core. It was just that he had cared for too many years and had become numb, and he didn't know what to do.

In fact, she didn't know what to do. This matter had nothing to do with her, but firstly, her second brother attacked twice and was seriously injured because of her. Secondly, there was Feng Zhaolian. That woman was still thinking about Quan Qinghua even after leaving Northern Qi. If she knew that Quan Qinghua got into trouble or died under her nose, she would turn against her.

There are only two people in this world that she least wants to fall out with, one is Shi Liyuan, and the other is Feng Zhaolian.

So this matter has to be taken care of whether you want to or not.

"Going to Guiyue as a hostage, I actually volunteered." Quan Qinghua's tea was replaced with wine at some point. Ye Wenyan watched the waiter walk out and close the door, then he realized that he had been distracted and didn't notice anyone coming into the room.

"I want to go far away, and it would be best if I died in a foreign land, never come back, and never have to face that woman again. But I can't die. The Guiyue people can bully me, laugh at me, insult me, and even beat me, but they can't kill me. They have to make sure I'm alive, otherwise they won't be able to explain to Northern Qi.

The story of that woman reached the ears of Guiyue people. I have been called a singer (harmony) to give birth to a child for nine years. You don’t understand how humiliating that is. So when I saw that family just now, I immediately thought of myself. I was really too impulsive. I am sorry to make you laugh.”

He drank by himself and didn't want to talk anymore. Ye Wenyan was no longer annoying. He drank wine and she drank tea. It was almost dark when Zhuier knocked on the door outside: "Miss, we should go home."

She stood up and said, "Let's go, Senior Brother. Let's go back to the inner city together."

Quan Qinghua shook her head, "You go back, I'll sit for a while. Prince Chen's Mansion has prepared a gift for you, I'll have someone carry it to the General's Mansion tomorrow. As for what you said about Lord Emperor being angry when he proposed marriage today, I think his anger was directed at your family, it won't have any effect on you. Just live your life well, your father will definitely be very happy if he knows you are living well."

"You..." Ye Wenyan asked thoughtfully, "How much do you know about my father?"

Quan Qinghua still shook his head, "Very rarely."

"That's all right." She left with Zhuier, and when she was about to get on the carriage, she looked up and saw Quan Qinghua standing by the window, also looking at her. So she waved her hand, "Goodbye, Senior Brother! I will write to Princess Zhaolian when I have time, telling her that everything is fine with you in Northern Qi. Of course, if you miss her very much, I can also tell her that you are very unwell. With her temper, I'm afraid she will rush over immediately, and then you will be able to see each other. I will only complete Feng Zhaolian's instructions, and I don't care about other things. Senior Brother, take care of it yourself!"

As the carriage drove away, Quan Qinghua remembered something he hadn't had time to tell her. Yesterday he received a letter from Feng Zhaolian, saying that the princess was leaving for Northern Qi again with the compensation from Guiyue. Calculating the days, it would take another two months to reach Lin'an.

But I don’t know what the situation in Lin’an City will be like in two months.

In the First-rank General's Mansion, the second family who were beaten yesterday came back to life, and the old lady also came back to life. What kept them alive was the anger that Shi Liyuan had vented on the Mu family in the morning.

The family supported each other and came to Xuming Hall, and asked Mu to kneel down in the hall. The old lady sat in the main seat, her back straight, and she felt that she was particularly right at this moment. Even when Ye Feiyu asked her why she asked her mother to kneel, she answered loudly - "Because she ruined the good marriage of the fourth girl! Because she, as a mother, is not fair! And because she was so bold as to offend the emperor, and put our whole family on the fire! Aren't these reasons enough for her to kneel?"

The old lady spoke righteously. She had never felt so justified in the past few months. At this moment, she seemed to be standing on the moral high ground, and could condemn the Mu family unscrupulously, and under the banner of protecting Ye Wenyan.

Ye Feiyu was also blocked by her. Even the Emperor pointed out that the incident during the day was the fault of the Mu family. What else could he say? Moreover, the old lady also said: "Wen Yan is a child who has a hard life. A girl who has been married once was originally ruined in this life. Now she has made a good living on her own. Not only has she saved herself, but she has also saved herself so well. As a result, you, as a mother, actually ruined her marriage with your own hands. How can you be so cruel? What deep hatred does she have with you?"

That's the Emperor! He's the only god in the world, and the best man in the world. It's a blessing for our Ye family that he can fall in love with our girl! It's also the blessing that the Ye family's ancestors' graves are smoking to let your little daughter have this blessing! But you ruined this blessing just like that, Mu Qianqiu, what's the grudge between you and the Ye family? Why do you bring disaster to our Ye family like this! "

The old lady was so moved by what he said. At this moment, she really felt that she was a good grandmother and the elder in the family who loved Ye Wenyan the most. She was even countless times better than Mu Qianqiu, her mother.

She firmly occupied the moral high ground, and with her second son and his family, she looked down at Mu Qianqiu, pointing out that Mu Qianqiu was the sinner of the Ye family and the bad mother who had delayed Ye Wenyan's life.

Mu knelt in the hall, listening to the old lady's accusations one after another, without making any excuses for herself.

This was not the first time that the old lady had treated her like this. Previously, she felt that she was in the right and that it was the old lady who had been speaking ill of her. But this time, she was not at all justified. She knew that the old lady did not really love her Yan'er, but what she said was not wrong. It was she who had ruined the marriage proposal today, and it was when she faced her second daughter that the feeling of guilt took over again.

In the past, her family knew that she was suffering, so they didn't bother her and were tolerant of Ye Lianmian. But why should the Emperor tolerate her?

As a mother, she was a failure from beginning to end. One daughter was gone, and the other was ruined. This was completely different from what she had expected when she married into the Ye family with ideals and hopes. Her life should not be like this. How did she end up like this step by step? Can Yan'er's marriage still be successful? How should she make up for her mistake? Ye Jingsheng endured the pain from the whip marks and slammed the table at her - "Originally, your daughter poisoned the princess, which was a capital crime. The first and second princes came with the imperial guards to take her away, and they almost wiped out our entire family. It was the emperor who saved her with a decree from heaven, which scared off the two princes.

Now, you have angered the Emperor and run away. Do you believe that the two princes will come back tomorrow and arrest people from the Ye Mansion? Mu Qianqiu, I tell you, it is your daughter who committed the crime, and she will be arrested. No one will be buried with her. Not only did you ruin your daughter's marriage, you also ruined her life. Mu Qianqiu, you are too vicious!"

"Uncle, grandmother." Ye Feizhou couldn't bear to listen any longer and took a step forward. "Just a few words are enough. Don't keep arguing. Lord Emperor was angry and left today, but he still had Fourth Sister's Engagement Card when he left. He didn't take his Engagement Card from Mother. The gifts sent over are still in our hands. None of them have been taken back.

This means that Lord Emperor intends to continue with this marriage. He is angry with Lian Mian and his mother, not the fourth sister. So shouldn't you guys not rush into it? Should you wait until the fourth sister comes back before making any accusations? "

Ye Jingsheng was so angry that he rolled his eyes. Damn it, this is his son, and now he calls him second uncle, which is quite smooth. This damn little bastard, why didn't he just beat him to death?

What do you mean by wait until fourth sister comes back? Can they talk about it after Ye Wenyan comes back?

Ye Jingsheng looked at the old lady and blinked gently. The old lady nodded, and her determination to do that thing became stronger...
