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

Chapter 54: Good Sisters

The Minister of Justice Jiang Feng is thirty years old this year. He has few children, only one daughter, Jiang Wanting. He has tried for many years to have a son but has never succeeded. Now he has given up completely.

Jiang Wanting had originally planned to visit Ye Wenyan today. On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, she went with her father to the Prince Su's Mansion to attend a wedding banquet. Unfortunately, the banquet did not take place because something happened to Ye Wenyan.

She kept thinking about him and even asked her father to go out of town to look for him. Unfortunately, it was snowing heavily that day and the Jiang family's carriage slipped on the road and fell into the ditch.

Later, the late emperor passed away and the city was forbidden to travel, so she had been holding it in until today before she could come out for a breath of fresh air. She didn't expect to see such a thing when she arrived at the gate of the First-Rank General's Mansion.

She knew at a glance that this was a dirty trick played by Ye Wenyan, and she was so happy that she didn't care that the old lady ignored her. She walked to Ye Wenyan and pulled her hand warmly, "Wenyan, I have been thinking about you these days. I finally lifted the ban and wanted to come to see you. I didn't expect to run into something wrong at your house. Alas, I didn't have anything prepared when I came out. I just brought some freshly made snacks. I thought we could talk and eat, but your family is in such a situation now, we can't just eat by ourselves. I won't give this snack to you, give it to the old lady! After all, she is the elder!"

After saying that, she casually took the snack box from another maid beside her and said, "Don't be disgusted, old lady. I made them myself. Although they are not very good looking, they are still better than vegetable leaves. Just use them as a last resort. After cutting the meat, you can have a good meal."

The old lady felt very humiliated. She was completely treated as a poor person. She was given a box of broken snacks as an emergency measure. What kind of emergency was she in?

So he didn't show Jiang Wanting a good look, snorted coldly, and said: "Take it back, I don't need your charity." Jiang Wanting was not discouraged: "How can this be charity? The Jiang family and the Ye family have always been on good terms. My father is still thinking about Uncle Jiang and General Ye. Tomorrow he will complain to my mother, saying how could such a good person be gone just like that?"

The old lady hesitated. Her father was the Minister of Justice. What did the Ministry of Justice do? It was responsible for handling cases. Ye Wenyan would bring up the truth about the cause of death whenever she had nothing to do. Now the prefect of Lin'an was almost on her side. If she joined forces with the Ministry of Justice again, it would not be a good thing for the Ye family.

So she changed her attitude: "Wanting, you are a good child. Thank you, and thank you for your father not forgetting our family."

Jiang Wanting smiled and said, "Old Madam, you don't have to be polite. Just accept it. If you accept this snack, I will send rice and flour to Ye Wen and his widowed mother later, and you won't feel any pressure."

Ye Wenyan looked at Jiang Wanting, who was wearing a blue skirt and a blue cloak, and quickly thought of this person.

In the original owner's memory, there is quite a lot of information about this eldest daughter of the Jiang family. For example, the fourth daughter of the Ye family met the eldest daughter of the Jiang family at the birthday banquet of General Ye when she was five years old.

Because the old general was often away from home fighting, he had few opportunities to hold banquets in the capital. When he finally did, all the officials, big and small, in Lin'an City came.

Jiang Feng, who was only the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice at the time, also brought his wife and daughter to celebrate the old general's birthday.

Jiang Wanting is one year older than the original owner. She has a tomboyish personality and is very brave. She even dares to skate alone on the big lake in the general's mansion.

The original owner was bolder, and seeing that she was having fun skating, he asked his servants to fetch a large wooden basin from the kitchen, and then he sat in the basin and let it drift on the ice.

The two met in this way, played together for a morning, and became good friends.

Later, as they grew older, their friendship never changed. They would meet up every now and then, eat and chat, or go out to the streets to do justice. One was the daughter of a military mansion of the first rank, and the other was the daughter of the minister of justice. These two could walk sideways on the street, and no one would dare to cause trouble for them. Even the royal family had to give General Ye some respect.

She also remembered the time when the Sixth Prince went to a brothel in the outer city to keep a girl. The original owner scolded the girl, and Jiang Wanting scolded the mother of the brothel.

In short, the memories about Jiang Wanting are almost all violent, and the two of them were almost at the point of tearing the roof off the house when they were together.

The more Ye Wenyan thought about it, the more he found this Miss Jiang quite interesting, so he spoke up, smiling and saying to her, "Wanting, I'm sorry to make you laugh. After the meat is cut, I'll invite you to sit in the house and we'll talk. By the way, I'll also show you how shabby my house is now."

After hearing what she said, Xiao quickly took over the conversation: "That's temporary, because the move to the yard caused a mess, it will be repaired in the next two days, and the mansion is already preparing."

She smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait." Then she turned to the butcher and said, "Start cutting the meat!"

"Okay!" The butcher didn't know how much he had received from Zhuier. He was very tactful. As soon as Ye Wenyan said to start, he immediately swung his big knife and shouted - "Miss Ye Si will give the old lady two pounds of ribs and meat, Miss Ye Si will give the old lady a pork elbow! Miss Ye Si will give the second lady six taels of pork belly! Miss Ye Si will give the second master a pair of pig ears!"

Xiao almost fainted. How come it was only six taels of meat for her? How did they come up with the number of six taels? Also, what was a pair of pig ears? Was her man worth just a pair of pig ears?

The old lady felt that she had lost all her face, so she planned to go back home and never care about these messes again. But before she turned around, she heard someone shouting, "The rice merchant is here, the Ye family doesn't have to drink porridge with only a few grains of rice anymore!"

She paused as she saw the rice merchant holding a booklet in his hand, writing down the story while shouting, "Miss Ye Si, give the old lady a dou of fine rice! Miss Ye Si, give the second lady a liter of coarse rice!" Xiao was furious again.

After a while, the Jiang family's carriage arrived. The servants carried down bags of rice and noodles, and also piled bags of snacks and dried fruits bought from the shop in front of Ye Wenyan.

Jiang Wanting said to Madam Mu, "Aunt, if you need anything in the future, you must tell me. Don't be polite to me."

Mu thanked her repeatedly, and even Ye Qingmei thanked her as well.

Ye Wenyan nudged Ye Feiyu with his elbow, "Brother, show your support."

Ye Feiyu didn't react, "What does it mean?"

"To show my gratitude!"

Ye Feiyu quickly followed suit to express his gratitude.

Jiang Wanting felt a little embarrassed by the thanks, her face flushed, and she held Ye Wenyan tightly and said, "I see you are still busy here, so I won't wait for you to speak today. Anyway, there are plenty of opportunities. I will come to play with you tomorrow." After saying that, she leaned over to Mu and said, "Come to see your aunt tomorrow."

Jiang Wanting left, and the old lady didn't even get to say goodbye to her, which made her feel that Jiang Wanting was just there to cause trouble.

It was too chaotic at the gate of the mansion, with the butchers shouting, the rice vendors clamoring, and later on, some people didn't pay much attention, but they remembered how kind General Ye was and started crying in the street.

The old lady was so angry that she yelled, "Why are you crying? Are you mourning?"

In the end, the other person replied, "It's just mourning!" and really rebuked the old lady.

Seeing her grandmother being scolded, Ye Lianmian took out all her anger on Ye Wenyan and rushed over to argue with her: "What the hell do you want to do, you little bitch?"

Ye Wenyan replied: "I'm buying meat for you!"

Ye Lianmian was anxious: "Who asked you to buy meat for us? We don't need your meat. You are embarrassing the Ye family!" "Is it embarrassing?" Ye Wenyan shook his head, "I don't think so. I just know that I have no meat to eat. I have no meat to eat. What shame do you still have?"

"you--"

"Me? If you keep talking nonsense, I will give you the golden hairpin on your head in exchange for meat."

Ye Lianmian was silent. She also ate the melon cake when they moved. All the good things were snatched away. Even this hairpin was obtained by coaxing the old lady yesterday. How could she possibly exchange it for meat?

She retreated back to the old lady, looking aggrieved.

Ye Feiyu couldn't bear to watch this, so he called out to her, "Lian Mian, come over to our side and stand with your mother."

Ye Lianmian tilted her head and pretended not to hear. Ye Feiyu shook her head and stopped calling her.

The old lady glared at Ye Wenyan fiercely. Xiao was also so angry about the six ounces of meat and one liter of rice that she could no longer suppress her anger. Following Ye Lianmian's failed steps, she asked Ye Wenyan, "Fourth Miss, you have made such a fuss. Where is the face of the Ye family?"

Ye Wenyan answered seriously: "I put the reputation of the Ye family on meat. Eating meat is the most important thing in the world. Before I eat meat, everything else is off the table."

Xiao was about to speak, but Mu took a step forward and stopped the woman. "Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, just tell me. You are the elder, so we should talk to elders. You can't talk to the younger generation. It will be a loss of status."

Xiao suddenly remembered the day when Mu pointed a knife at her. Her heart trembled and she didn't say the words that were on her lips.

The old lady couldn't bear it any longer, so she pushed Jun Tao away and fled back to the mansion.

Ye Lianmian took a look and followed them back. However, Xiao did not move. Liu and Ye Chulian also stayed to watch the fun.

But there was really nothing much to see. The meat had been cut, and the rice merchant had written down the quantity. Zhuier paid the silver, and the rice merchant said he would go back to prepare the goods and it would be delivered soon. Seeing that everyone was packing up and leaving, Xiao shook her head and was about to turn around.

Ye Wenyan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Xiao's wrist. "Second Aunt, you still have a bracelet on your hand. Now that the house is in such a bad state, who would dare to wear such a valuable thing? I don't have enough gems to buy things, so why not give your bracelet to Grandma and exchange it for meat!"

After saying that, he was no longer polite and pulled off the bracelet on Xiao's wrist.

Xiao screamed in pain, and then Ye Wenyan said, "Don't scream. Give this one to me first, and I'll find you another one that's exactly the same and send it back to you later..."
