Chapter 542: Return the Yard to Me

Ye Wenyan said a lot of things, and his voice became lower and lower, and gradually he fell asleep.

Shi Liyuan knew that she had no strength left, and it was already great that she could endure the pain and talk to him for so long.

He raised his hand to pinch her face. She was so thin, without much flesh, and cold, without any sign of life.

He was actually looking forward to what the girl would look like after she recovered. He had never seen the Fourth Miss Ye before, and he couldn't imagine how graceful the rosy-faced Lin'an's most beautiful woman would be. But it didn't matter. His girl was good in any way, even if she was ugly. He was attracted to the spirit in this body, not the body itself.

It's just about doing business in partnership with the fourth son of the Quan family... Shi Liyuan frowned, thinking that it is easiest to have ambiguous relationships with senior and junior brothers and sisters. If the girl wants to open shops and do business all over the world, it's very simple. The Yanhua Palace can step in, and there is no need for the fourth son of the Quan family at all.

Oh, yes, in fact, Yanhua Palace does not need to show up. He has lived for more than 400 years, and he has been to almost every corner of the world. Over the past 400 years, the land he has acquired in various places is countless, much more than the fourth son of the Quan family.

But he never remembered these things, and never thought of using these plots of land. Some of them were even hundreds of years old, and he didn't even know what they looked like now. There should be house deeds and land deeds, but he didn't know where they were. He would have to ask Lian Shi to look for them in Yanhua Palace later. If he found them, he would give them to the girl so that she could use them to open a shop.

As for the fourth son of the Quan family... Shi Liyuan thought for a while and felt that the threat was not particularly big. Isn't there another Princess Guiyue? He saw that Princess Guiyue had some feelings for the fourth son of the Quan family. He must pay attention to this matter in the future and try to bring them together. The door was gently pushed open, and Zhuier walked in. He came to Shi Liyuan and said, "Lord Emperor, lunch is ready. Please move to the flower hall to eat!" After that, he looked at Ye Wenyan again, and seeing that Ye Wenyan was asleep, he didn't ask any more questions.

Shi Liyuan had no intention of eating. He just wanted to stay with their little girl until she woke up in high spirits after midnight.

But he also knew that the Ye Mansion had specially prepared lunch for his arrival, and both the master and the servants had been busy preparing it. If he didn't eat, everyone would be disappointed.

Of course, he didn't care whether others were disappointed or not, but others were others, and the Ye family was the Ye family. Their Ah Yan still had to live in this mansion, and the rest of the people were also people she cared about, and she would even marry in this mansion in the future. So he couldn't create more obstacles for the little girl, and couldn't make more enemies for her.

So Shi Liyuan nodded, tucked in Ye Wenyan's quilt, then got up and went to the flower hall.

The Ye family's lunch was very sumptuous, with a large table full of twenty dishes and two jars of wine.

When he arrived, he heard Ye Feiyu ask Lian Shi: "Eunuch Lian, can you take a look? Is there anything missing?"

Lian Shi shook his head and said, "Everything is not missing, and there are even more. Lord Emperor cannot eat so many dishes. He has been fasting for hundreds of years. It is better to take medicine than to eat. The reason why he has been eating more in the past six months is because Fourth Miss Ye likes to eat, so he eats with her. Fourth Miss is not feeling well today, so she definitely can't come out. If Fourth Miss Ye doesn't come out, it doesn't matter whether Lord Emperor eats or not."

As he was speaking, he felt a gust of wind blowing behind his head, followed by a slap in the face, which hit him hard.

Lian Shi was so frightened that he fell to his knees without even looking back.

Then I saw a red robe passing by, and Lord Emperor had already sat down at the table.

"I said I should call you Empress, why is she still called Fourth Young Miss? Besides, what do you mean it doesn't matter whether I eat or not? Spiritual cultivators are also human beings, and human beings need to eat. This is what Ah Yan said, do you have any objection?"

"No problem, I was wrong, I should tear my mouth off, I just talk nonsense all day long."

Shi Liyuan ignored him and picked up his chopsticks to start eating. After eating two bites, he found that Ye Feiyu and the others were still standing, so he waved his hand and said, "Sit down! Let's eat together."

Ye Feiyu and the others were flattered, but they still didn't dare to sit down. What if the Emperor was just being polite?

However, Lord Emperor Zun did not hold back on being polite with them. He not only sincerely invited them to sit down, but also asked Yun Chen to sit with him. He then said to Lian Shi, "Go and bring Madam Ye over. I have something to ask her."

Lian Shi hurried to pick up the person.

Ye Feiyu sat down with her two sisters, but they were a little far from Shi Liyuan, with several chairs between them. Yun Chen looked around and chose a seat that was only one chair away, then took the initiative to pour wine for Shi Liyuan.

Ye Chulian saw Yun Chen pouring wine, thought for a moment, and then told him her plan: "I thought, Fourth Sister now has so many houses, and some are in this alley of the General's Mansion, so I won't go to Renwang Mansion to make wine in the future. I will discuss with Fourth Sister later and find a house that she dislikes the most, and clear a few yards to make wine. This way it will be close to home and convenient for me to come and go. Although Renwang Mansion is also good, it's not right for me to go in and out all the time."

Ye Feiyu and Ye Qingmei looked at her at the same time, and Ye Feiyu asked, "When did you go to Renwang Mansion to brew wine?"

Ye Chulian was startled. It's over! She let the cat out of the bag!

She felt guilty, but she still answered Ye Feiyu's question: "I want to work with you, but I used to live in the second house. The second wife and father kept a close eye on me, so my movements were restricted and I couldn't go out often during the day. So my second brother came up with an idea. He took me to the Renwang Mansion every night and cleared a yard there to brew wine for me. The medicinal wines sold in our clinic were all brewed in the Renwang Mansion."

Ye Feiyu was almost so angry that he fainted. Did he benefit from the Third Prince's help? As for the Third Prince and Fei Zhou... it's better not to mention them.

"Okay, don't go there anymore. Ask your fourth sister for a house later, or you can just stay at home. Anyway, it's unlikely that your second uncle and his family will come back to live here, and even if they do, they can't control you. You'll be free from now on."

Ye Qingmei also said, "After all, you are still an unmarried girl. Why would you go to Prince Ren's Palace all the time? If outsiders see you, they might say something nasty. Let's talk to the second brother later. He is not a child anymore."

Shi Liyuan listened to them talking without expressing any opinions, but he was not as repulsive as the Ye family about the matter of Quan Qingyun and Ye Feizhou. People say that you will see more if you live longer, and you will see more naturally and get used to it.

Soon, Lian Shi returned to the flower hall, followed by the housekeeper Zhou Cheng of the Ye Mansion, and the old lady in Zhou Cheng's hand. The knife was still stuck in her heart, and blood was all over her body. Normally, with such a serious injury, the person should have died long ago, but the old lady Ye just couldn't die, and just suffered this pain alive, and she also experienced Li Yanran's incident in the middle, which made her very upset.

This was the first time Zhou Cheng had such an attitude towards Old Madam Ye. When he held the bag in his hand, he thought of many things from the past, such as how the old lady treated the servants harshly, how she didn't treat them as human beings, how she scolded him as the housekeeper in front of the servants, and even fined him half a year's salary. All the past events came to his mind, and the hatred in his heart could not be stopped.

So the hands that were carrying the person became heavier, and they bumped the old lady here and there from time to time, causing the old lady to scream in pain.

He said to the old lady, "Please bear with me, old lady! You must not scold me at this time, or I will be even more reckless and you will be the one who suffers."

The old lady shut up and dared not curse until she was thrown to the ground. She just screamed a few times and dared not say anything.

Shi Liyuan had just finished a small bowl of fish soup, and when he put the bowl down, he asked the old lady, "I heard that on the second day of the twelfth lunar month, you did something big in your mansion. You swapped the courtyard where your eldest son's family lived with that of your second son's family. Is that true?"

The old lady didn't dare to deny it, so she just nodded: "Yes."

"Well, change it back." Shi Liyuan looked at Zhou Cheng, "Butler of the Ye Mansion, you do this."

Zhou Cheng was so excited that he knelt down and kowtowed to him, "Your servant obeys your command, your servant obeys your command!" It was a blessing that he had cultivated for several lifetimes to have the emperor say a word to him! He, Zhou Cheng, really benefited from the fourth lady's help, and he would definitely repay the fourth lady in the future.

After bowing, Zhou Cheng stood up and ran outside, asking his men to move the yard to the first and second houses.

Ye Chulian thought for a moment and said, "Actually... it's okay not to move. After all, the Sixth Prince came down to copy the wall last time and he took it off. We have to renovate it again after we get it back."

Shi Liyuan didn't really care about these things. "Then just swap the east and west houses. The east side has plenty of sunlight. Even if you still live in the original house, you have to move to the east side. It's not a difficult task."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lian Shi, who immediately understood and called Zhou Cheng, "Come back! No need to move!"

Zhou Cheng turned around halfway and asked Lian Shi in confusion: "Why don't you move? The eldest lady and her family should live in the east courtyard!"

Lian Shi said, "It's not that we won't move, it's that you don't need to move. The Emperor will do it himself."

Zhou Cheng understood, looked at Shi Liyuan with admiration, then lowered his head and quietly stepped aside to stand.

Shi Liyuan asked Madam Ye again: "I heard that you have taken away a lot of property from Madam Ye through Ye Lianmian over the years. Ah Yan wants to get some back, but there are still some unclear accounts that are still in your hands?"

Old Madam Ye's heart shuddered and the wound hurt again.

"Yes, there are some, but they were all confiscated by the Sixth Prince during the house raid. I really have nothing left now." Shi Liyuan didn't believe it. "Even if there is no money, there are still fields, manors and shops..."
