Chapter 546 Wen Yan You Are My Idol

A maid came outside the door to report that the old lady of the Li family came to apologize to you, young lady.

Zhuier expressed her thoughts upon hearing this: "Young lady is now the Empress, there is no need for her to meet the Li family. She must have brought a gift to apologize, so let her put it down and kowtow to the east."

Xiang Dong shook his head after hearing this. "Why does this long-distance kowtow feel a bit like visiting a grave?"

Ye Wenyan also felt that it was not auspicious, so he stood up and walked out, "Let's go and meet them! It's a good opportunity to listen to what the Li family has to say. Before leaving, Shi Liyuan suggested that we should drive the Li family out of Lin'an City directly to prevent them from causing trouble again. By the way, we should also send the Empress Dowager Li away from the palace, so that we can have a peaceful life. I'll go and see what Madam Li's attitude is. If her attitude is not good enough, then I will agree with Shi Liyuan's arrangement."

"What if the attitude is good enough?"

"If she's good enough, I'll accept her gift and leave the Li family in the inner city of Lin'an to observe slowly. After all, I'm the future empress. With a high status, I have to be generous and not be petty. It will make people laugh at me."

Xiang Dong remembered something when she heard this: "I heard that before the Emperor came to our house yesterday, he walked around the street first. Not only did he accept so many gifts for the young lady, he also made a decision. He wanted to swap the people living in the inner city and the outer city of Lin'an as a punishment for their provoking you, young lady."

Ye Wenyan was stunned. "There is such a thing? There are so many people in the outer city, how can they be replaced? Can the inner city accommodate them?" After saying this, she thought of Shi Liyuan's great teleportation technique and the first-class general's mansion that had already changed the courtyard. But they couldn't all be replaced, at least some officials had to stay in the inner city, right? She asked this question, and Xiangdong said -

"Not everyone can be replaced. At least those who are of the same mind as you, young lady, will definitely be able to stay in the inner city. I estimate that the Li family will definitely move to the outer city. Other official residences that have opposed you or criticized you should also be replaced. Lord Emperor also said that Yanhua Palace will hold a palace banquet in a few days, and the matter of swapping the inner and outer cities will be discussed after the palace banquet."

Ye Wenyan frowned when he heard this, "Palace banquet? Why is he holding a palace banquet?"

Zhuier smiled and said, "What else can His Majesty the Emperor do by hosting a palace banquet? He must be holding your hand and personally announcing your engagement to everyone, so that everyone can pay homage to the Emperor and Empress."

As they were talking, they arrived at Xuming Hall, where Old Madam Li was standing! The servants of the Ye Mansion told her that she could sit and wait, and even served her tea, but Old Madam Li was very determined: "I can't sit! This is the home of the Emperor and Empress. The Emperor and Empress haven't arrived yet, so how can I be qualified to sit down? What's more, I am a criminal, and I am here to apologize today. A guilty person is not worthy of sitting down."

The servant said nothing and left the hall.

When Madam Li looked up, she saw Ye Wenyan walking in with two maids. She immediately stepped forward to greet him, then knelt on the ground in a proper manner and kowtowed: "I am Li Zhang, and I kowtow to the Empress. May your Majesty live forever."

After saying that, he kowtowed three times earnestly, then knelt on the ground motionless, waiting for Ye Wenyan to speak.

Ye Wenyan didn't say anything, just stared at Old Madam Li, which made Madam Li's scalp numb.

She thought Ye Wenyan must still be angry and unwilling to forgive the Li family, and she was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.

However, Ye Wenyan was thinking about the title of Empress Tiansui at the moment. Why did it sound so awkward? Compared with Empress Empress, she still preferred the title of Fourth Miss Ye. She wondered if she could change it back.

"Miss." Zhuier pulled her, "Do you want to accept these things that Old Madam Li brought?"

Ye Wenyan came back to her senses, and then looked at the old lady who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and nodded, "Take it!" Old Madam Li let out a long sigh and kowtowed to her again, "Thank you, Madam, thank you, Madam." But she didn't dare to stand up. She just knelt and turned around in the direction where Ye Wenyan was walking. Then, when Ye Wenyan sat on the chair and sat firmly, she said, "Li Yanran is my granddaughter. She has been spoiled by her family since she was a child. She has done things that angered Madam many times. I came here today to apologize to Madam. Please let the Li family go. No matter what Madam asks, the Li family will never say no."

"No objection?" Ye Wenyan smiled, "Yesterday, the Emperor destroyed her eyes and legs and pulled out her tongue. Did the Li family have any doubts about this?"

Madam Li shook her head, "No."

"I once took over a clinic from the Li family and sent your son and granddaughter to jail. Did Madam Li think it was right?"

"should!"

"Then if I say that I want half of your Li family's shops in the inner city and outer city, and I have to take the best ones, will the Li family agree?" "Yes." The old lady kowtowed again, "I only want to save my life and the family, the rest are external things. Li Yanran offended the Emperor and Empress, and after the Emperor punishes her, she can't escape the Li family's family rules. Her father has already sent her away from the capital overnight and sent her back to her hometown to be punished. She will never come to the capital again in the future."

"Okay." Ye Wenyan nodded and said to Zhuier, "Keep the things that Madam Li brought! Also, Xiangdong, follow the old lady to Lin'an Prefecture and take out the deeds of all the houses of the Li family in Beijing, and transfer half of them from the inner and outer cities to my name. Once this is done, my grudge with the Li family will be over. As long as the Li family doesn't make things difficult for me in the future, I won't cause trouble for the Li family again.

But my fiancé has a bad temper and I can't control him, so whether the Li family will be safe or not in the future depends on you. Old Madam, I have made my words clear, please come in!"

Madam Li looked grateful and said a lot more before she followed Xiangdong. She was very polite to Xiangdong when she left, calling her "Miss Xiangdong" all the time, and even asked Xiangdong to go first when they met at the door, which made Xiangdong feel a little embarrassed. Until the two of them left the house and got on the carriage, in the eyes of everyone, Madam Li came to the Ye family to apologize with a sincere attitude.

However, he didn't know that the hands hidden in the wide sleeves had already clenched into fists, and the hatred in his heart towards Ye Wenyan had reached its peak.

Ye Wenyan, unless you really sit on the throne of the empress, the Li family will definitely retaliate a thousand times for this humiliation!

Madam Li left. Zhuier pondered for a while and then asked Ye Wenyan: "Does Miss believe in the Li family?"

Ye Wenyan rolled his eyes and said, "Believe it!"

Zhuier nodded, "I don't believe it either. When the old lady turned around just now, there was a hint of ferocity in her eyes. I was not wrong. So we still have to be on guard against the Li family in the future. Who knows when they will do something weird."

That being said, how can we prevent it? Ye Wenyan was quite helpless.

It is said that one must be on guard against others, but who can guarantee that one can prevent it if something really happens? In the final analysis, it is just a matter of fighting back. She has never been a person who is afraid of trouble. The Li family is nothing to be afraid of.

Not long after Mrs. Li left, Chi Hongfang and Jiang Feng arrived, along with their respective daughters, Chi Feifei and Jiang Wanting.

As soon as they entered the house, Chi Hongfang and Jiang Feng immediately knelt down to pay their respects, while Chi Feifei and Jiang Wanting rushed forward, and each of them stretched out a hand to pat Ye Wenyan on the shoulder. Then Jiang Wanting said, "Great! You are really amazing, Ye Wenyan, to be able to make the Emperor accomplish things to this extent! I am puzzled, if you have such means, what did you do a few years ago? If you had shown such courage when you were pursuing the Sixth Prince, he would not have dared to bully you to this extent!"

Chi Feifei analyzed the matter from another perspective: "So you have been playing dumb in the past few years, teasing the Sixth Prince? You have never really thought about marrying the Sixth Prince, right? You just want to find a suitable opportunity for yourself, have an accidental encounter with the Emperor, fall in love at first sight, and then dump the Sixth Prince gorgeously, right? Am I right?" Chi Feifei was a little excited, and Jiang Wanting was even more excited, "Wen Yan, you are so proud, from now on you are my god!"

Chi Hongfang and Jiang Feng were sweating when they heard this. What kind of words are these? The emperor and the empress are in love, why are they talking about the Sixth Prince? Isn't this just talking about something irrelevant?

So the two of them hurriedly advised: "Stop talking, shut up! Kneel down and greet the Emperor and Empress. Can you two save the family some worries? This relationship that we have worked so hard to build, don't let it be ruined in your hands."

Unfortunately, none of the daughters listened to them and kept talking to Ye Wenyan!

Ye Wenyan was also willing to chat with the two of them, so the three of them simply pulled chairs and sat around. The servants brought tea and snacks, and someone even brought three plates of melon seeds.

Chi Hongfang and Jiang Feng saw this and thought, well, they should stop kneeling. It won’t be their turn for a while, so they might as well stand up and listen for a while! After all, this is also the gossip of the Lord Emperor, and they want to listen. So they gathered around and heard Ye Wenyan say, "I didn’t want to make such a big scene, so I kept it under wraps and didn’t let him show up at our house. Who would have thought that he is not the kind of person who can endure it. I couldn’t hold it back for just a few months, and he actually took it upon himself to issue a decree to me. Isn’t that infuriating?"

Chi Hongfang subconsciously replied, "It's not irritating, which means that the Emperor cares about the Empress."

Chi Feifei rolled her eyes at that moment, "Dad, can you please speak nicely? You are fawning too obviously!"

"Ming, is it obvious?"

Chi Feifei and Jiang Wanting nodded at the same time, "Obviously."

Chi Hongfang accepted it humbly, but said he would not change it. "If your father hadn't been more obvious, would you be able to sit here and eat melon seeds with the Emperor and Empress today? Come on, get up quickly. Your father and I came here today to tell the Emperor and Empress something important."
