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

Chapter 531 Everyone Has Secrets

After breakfast, the three members of the Ji family and Xiangdong Ali went to catch up on their sleep. Ye Wenyan took Zhuier to Huayuyuan.

Although Zhuier didn't know why her young lady went to Huayu Courtyard, that was the second wife's courtyard. Now that the second wife had been sent away, only the second wife was left in the mansion. She thought that the young lady must have stayed there on purpose because she must have been useful!

When the master and servant arrived, Jinxiu was talking to a maid in the yard. The maid stood straight, no longer respectful of the mistress, and said arrogantly: "Miss Jinxiu, things are different now. The second wife doesn't have such a big face in this general's mansion. Ask whatever you want. If you want to know what happened in the mansion, you can go to the front yard to ask yourself. You can't sit in the house and wait for it to be ready."

When Jinxiu heard this, she understood and quickly stuffed the few pieces of silver she had in her pocket into the maid's hand, but the maid refused to take them.

"How come Huayuyuan still has money? It must be that the Sixth Prince didn't search thoroughly last time and missed you. I must report to the Fourth Miss later and ask her to tell the Sixth Prince that Huayuyuan needs to be searched again."

Jinxiu's face became more and more ugly. Seeing that the other party didn't want the silver, she simply took it back. After putting it in her pocket, she slapped the maid directly in the face.

The other party was shocked, "How dare you hit me?"

Jinxiu snorted coldly, "Why don't I dare to hit you? Who do you think you are? The Second Madam hasn't fallen yet! She is still the mistress of the General's Mansion. How the masters quarrel is their business. How dare you, a servant, shout in the master's yard? The Second Madam asks you a question because she thinks highly of you and gives you face. Don't be shameless!"

Jinxiu was used to being a maid, so she was quite aggressive when scolding people. But the maid who was beaten didn't buy it at all. She was stunned by the beating just now, but she stopped doing it immediately after she recovered.

Pah! He slapped her back with his backhand, and she was hit so hard that she spun around in a circle.

"Bah!" She spat at Jinxiu fiercely, "Have some shame! What mistress, what second wife! Bah! Bah! Go out and ask around, what's going on in the mansion now? The second master, his concubine and illegitimate daughter have all been driven out of the house by the fourth lady, so why are you still pretending to be the mistress? The head of the house has run away, so who cares about the mistress? I tell you, Jinxiu, we used to smile at you out of respect, but now no one in the mansion can give you respect. If you know what's good for you, you should keep your tail between your legs and eat two more meals at the general's mansion before the fourth lady comes to drive you out. You never know when Miss Ye will remember you and beat you out with a big stick!"

She cursed and was about to leave angrily. When she turned around, she saw Ye Wenyan and Zhuier, and quickly bowed and saluted: "This servant greets the Fourth Miss. Fourth Miss, this servant came to deliver food to Huayuyuan, but I didn't want to talk to them, so I was slapped by Miss Jinxiu. Fourth Miss, they are too arrogant."

Ye Wenyan nodded, "Well, you are quite arrogant, then you can hit him back and slap him a few more times to vent your anger."

The maid was delighted when she heard this, and without saying anything else she stood up and started beating him. She slapped him in the face with quite a bit of force.

She enjoyed the beating very much, but Jinxiu was beaten like a pig's head.

"I told you to bully us before! I told you never treat us as human beings! You relied on the support of the mistress to withhold two months' salary from us. You have no conscience! Even before you became the mistress, you relied on the old lady's kindness to your second branch to show off your power in the mansion all day long. If you have the ability, why don't you dare to put on airs when the old general is at home? You have to wait until the old general and the general return to the camp before you get excited and do those insidious things behind people's backs. Things change over time. You don't do good deeds for yourself on weekdays, so you deserve to be in trouble now!"

Jinxiu was beaten so hard that she saw stars and was filled with rage, but she dared not say a word back. Because Ye Wenyan was there, it was not a maid who was beating her, but Ye Wenyan who was beating her.

They already knew that the Emperor had proposed to Ye Wenyan, so Ye Wenyan would be the future empress, and such a person could not be messed with.

Seeing that Jinxiu didn't say anything, the maid knew when to stop. So she stopped, bowed to Ye Wenyan again, and left with the food box. She didn't even take the food out of the food box, so she took it back the same way she had brought it in.

Jinxiu wanted her to put down the food, but then she thought about what the maid had just said. The second master's family was driven away? Then the fourth lady should be here to drive them away, right? If people were to be driven away, they naturally couldn't be given food.

She covered her face and saluted Ye Wenyan. Ye Wenyan chuckled and ran towards the main house.

When she reached the door, she pushed it open and went in. Zhuier pulled Jinxiu from behind and said, "Miss Jinxiu, the masters are talking, so we shouldn't go in and get in the way. Just stand guard at the door. It's useless for you to go in anyway. If my master wants to do something to the Second Madam, what difference will it make if you're there or not?"

Jinxiu stopped resignedly and stood guard at the door with Zhuier.

In the room, Xiao Shubai watched Ye Wenyan pull a chair and sit next to her couch, feeling very uncomfortable.

This witch of the Ye family has been the most favored by General Ye since she was born. The old general favors this granddaughter almost more than his eldest grandson Ye Feiyu. In addition to the fact that she happened to win a battle on the day she was born, it is also because the older Ye Wenyan grows up and her personality becomes more and more like the old general.

She had hated this child for more than ten years, and finally killed him on the second day of the twelfth lunar month last year. Unexpectedly, the dead man came back to life. From then on, her life was turned upside down.

"What is Second Madam thinking about?" Ye Wenyan looked at Xiao Shubai with a smile on her face, "Does it remind you of Ye Hongzhuang when you see me?"

Xiao Shubai took a deep breath and stared at Ye Wenyan. She really wanted to tell him the truth about the real and fake Sixth Prince, and then ask Ye Wenyan what she was really thinking. Did she collude with the fake Sixth Prince to act out this drama just to make her daughter look like a ghost?

But she couldn't tell it, as it was a secret. Once she told it, Ye Wenyan might kill her to silence her.

She is now the future empress, and no one can hold her accountable if she kills someone. Moreover, she wants to keep this secret as a bargaining chip. If one day her life is in danger, she can use this secret to exchange with Ye Wenyan for a chance to live.

She absolutely did not believe that Lord Emperor would not care about this. As long as she told this matter, the marriage between Ye Wenyan and Emperor would be over. Even if she died at that time, she could drag Ye Wenyan to be her scapegoat, which was worth it.

So Xiao Shubai also laughed, and she said to Ye Wenyan: "I did think of my Hongzhuang, but it's a pity that she is suffering in the Su Wang Mansion and can't come back. Unlike you, you lost the engagement of the Sixth Prince, and got the engagement of the Emperor, you are so happy." Ye Wenyan nodded, "Well, I am very happy. But I am a person who cares about family affection. If only I am happy, it is not real happiness. The whole family must be well, that's the real happiness. So I came to see the second aunt today, thinking that it would be best if the second aunt can get better, then everyone will be happy."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Shubai frowned. Let her be happy? Would Ye Wenyan be so kind?

"It means exactly what it says. I hope Second Aunt is well, can resume her life as before, and can still be called Second Madam. Even Red-dressed Cousin can come back home and be with you to show her filial piety. Then after a few years when this limelight has passed and people have gradually forgotten about it, I will help her find a good family. After all, I am now the future empress, and there are many people who want to marry into my family."

Xiao Shubai was a little confused, "Are you willing to help Hongzhuang?"

"Of course!" Ye Wenyan smiled brightly, "We are all family, real relatives, why can't I help her? Although there were some unpleasant things in the past, that's all in the past, I'm not a person who holds grudges. Moreover, I can not only help Third Sister, I can even help Second Aunt. For example, I can forgive you the one million taels of gold you owe to the Sixth Prince, and I can even return the courtyard that was set aside by the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion, so that Old Madam Xiao can have face at home. What do you think, Second Aunt?"

Xiao Shubai understood that this was just a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken, and that he had no good intentions.

Being willing to do so many things must be something she has to pay for. So she asked Ye Wenyan again: "What do you want to exchange with me?"

Ye Wenyan said: "Let me change the question. I want to ask you what you said to my mother before my father passed away?"

Xiao Shubai was stunned, "You want to know this?"

"What did Second Aunt think I wanted to know?"

Xiao Shubai laughed, "I thought you wanted to know the real cause of your father's death."

"I already know the real cause of death." She raised her lips, "Not only my father's cause of death, I also know the cause of death of my grandfather. My grandfather died at the hands of the old lady, and my father died at the hands of you and Ye Jingsheng. This is not difficult to find out."

Xiao Shubai's heart trembled, "You won't avenge your father?"

"Retaliate! But the time has not come yet. So I added another bargaining chip to the terms of the exchange with you, Second Aunt. I will spare your life and only take Ye Jingsheng's life. Do you think these chips are enough?"

"You really don't want to kill me?"

"If I really won't kill you, I can even tell you another secret." She casually picked up a piece of clothing that was on the baby's bed. "What a pity, the child is gone just like that. In fact, there is a culprit for all this, and it's not me, nor is it you who killed people in the first place. I know who it is, but Second Aunt has to tell me what I want to know first."

Xiao Shubai's curiosity was completely aroused, and Ye Wenyan's bargaining chips were tempting enough, so why didn't she say it?

So she nodded, "Okay, I'll tell you. Ye Wenyan, listen carefully, in this first-class general's mansion, everyone is not as upright as they seem on the surface. Except for the old general, everyone else has their own secrets..."
