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

Chapter 552: Didn't Intend to Make the Family Disgrace

When Ye Wenyan said "felony", all the people involved in the riot turned pale.

Ye Wenyan stopped the official who was about to arrest the people and told the troublemakers, "I have recorded all of you. You must get out of Lin'an Inner City within one day and never be allowed to enter again. If you have elders in your family who need to attend court, you can only get up early every day and rush to the palace from the outer city. In fact, you are not at a disadvantage. The emperor originally wanted to swap the people in the inner and outer cities, so you will have to move out sooner or later. But before you move out, all the losses of the smashed shops will be charged to you. You must pay the compensation before moving out, otherwise you will have to go to the government office and go to jail. Listen carefully, if you go to jail, the whole family will be punished together. No one in the family, from top to bottom, can escape."

The crowd applauded and thanked the Emperor and Empress for their justice. But most of them were sad because Ye Wenyan had just reminded them that the Emperor would drive them out of the inner city. It didn't seem to make much difference whether the shop was destroyed or not. Even if it was repaired, it would make room for the civilians in the outer city, which made them feel very painful.

Ye Wenyan had no intention of staying any longer, so he turned around and left.

Those who were causing trouble wanted to go home quickly to report the incident so that their families could prepare and come up with countermeasures. But before they could even stand up, they heard Quan Qingyin say, "Stop right there! Where are you going? You smashed my Prince Su's mansion, and this matter cannot be let go. The Empress and the Queen just dealt with you, but I have my own way of dealing with you. Come on!" He waved his hand, "Take all these people into my mansion and close the door!"

Zhou Shang's carriage continued to move toward the outer city. Zhuier lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked out. As she looked, she said to Ye Wenyan, "The gate of Prince Su's Mansion is closed. There seems to be howling. How anxious they must be. They must have tortured him directly in the front yard!"

Sui Xi added, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince is resorting to private punishment, so the officials won't do anything about it?" Zhuier lowered the curtain and said, "How can they do anything about it? They were the first to smash the Prince Su's Mansion. They were the first to start, so why won't they let Your Highness the Sixth Prince seek justice for himself? Besides, he is a prince, and the government relies on his family to pay salaries, so how can they possibly do anything about this?"

After saying this, he felt something was wrong. After pondering for a long time, he finally enlightened her: "Why are you speaking for the Sixth Prince?"

Zhuier raised his hand and slapped his mouth a few times, "Pfft, pfft, why should I care about him! Even if he has done things to vent our anger a few times recently, it doesn't mean that he has never made mistakes. I should hate evil and treat him like a pig."

Ye Wenyan was really helpless. What kind of words are these? The pigs are out.

Ye Chulian did not join in the conversation between the two maids, but just said to Ye Wenyan: "Fourth sister, do you think they are willing to move?"

Ye Wenyan shrugged, "Now it's not a matter of whether they are willing or not. If they don't obey, they may not be able to leave the Prince Su's Mansion. If their families want to redeem their children, I'm afraid they will have to pay a greater price." "Sister." Ye Chulian thought for a while and asked again, "What do you think the Sixth Prince is thinking? Why does he suddenly seem to be on your side? Is there any conspiracy here?"

Ye Wenyan patted the fifth sister and said, "It doesn't matter whether there is a conspiracy or not. We will fight back. We are in charge of everything, but we can't control what others are thinking."

Ye Chulian nodded, "Sister, you are right. Besides, our family is already in chaos, so how can we care about others? By the way, sister, I have always wanted to talk to you about brewing wine. The medicinal wine sold in the clinic can not only cure diseases, but also strengthen the body. In addition, the dignitaries in the inner city are not short of money, so they always buy some at home and keep them at home. After drinking, they will buy more. This causes the wine to sell very quickly, and I can't keep up with it.

I can only go to Renwang Mansion to brew wine at night. It's too slow, not to mention that I'm sleepy. I was thinking, aren't all the mansions in our alley owned by Fourth Sister? Can you pick the one you dislike the most and use it to brew wine? This way, it will be convenient for me to go in and out, and I don't have to go out in the middle of the night like a thief, and I can brew more during the day."

Ye Wenyan thought this was a good idea, so he nodded and said, "Then let's go to the one closest to the east courtyard, which is next to our house. I heard from Master Liyuan that he didn't move your courtyard when he moved the courtyard, so you still live in the east. Later, ask someone to open a small door on the wall of the mansion to connect the two mansions. Then you can go out to make wine and it won't be considered going out, and no one can find fault with you."

Ye Chulian was very happy. She felt that her life had finally seen light when she was fourteen years old. She was no longer the timid and pitiful Fifth Miss in the First-rank General's Mansion, but a useful person who could stand on her own.

But she felt that Ye Wenyan was unhappy, and this unhappiness was definitely not because of the looting and smashing that had just happened.

She always felt that her fourth sister was thinking about something in her heart, but since Ye Wenyan didn't say anything, she didn't dare to ask too much.

Finally, the carriage left the inner city gate and arrived at the bustling outer city. Zhuier and Suixi, two maids, leaned on the windows and looked out. After a while, they sighed: "The outer city is still lively, with people coming and going, greeting each other, peddlers hawking their wares, and wonton stalls. This is how life is like."

Ye Chulian nodded after hearing this, "Yes, I didn't want to go to crowded places before. Whenever I came to the outer city, I would feel that it was too noisy here, and I was afraid that others would look at me more when I walked on the road. But maybe my mood is different now, and I actually feel that such a lively and bustling place has the breath of life. When something like that happened at home a while ago, I thought that if I couldn't be adopted into the eldest house like my second brother, then I would leave the general's mansion and use the money I earned from selling medicinal wine to buy a small courtyard in the outer city and live with my aunt. Anyway, we will definitely not live with our father, and even if we want to go, they won't welcome us."

Ye Chulian laughed at herself when she said this, "Father, this word is really funny to me."

"It's all right as long as mother isn't ridiculous!" Zhuier quickly changed the subject, "Fifth Miss, look, there's a peddler selling silk flowers outside. Many of the flowers he carries on his shoulder pole are ones I've never seen before. I wonder if it would be too ostentatious if I bought a few to wear back home."

The topic became a little awkward. Ye Chulian looked at Ye Wenyan in confusion. Ye Wenyan noticed something and looked at her as well. He smiled and said, "I was thinking about something. I didn't hear clearly what you were talking about."

Zhuier said, "We are saying that the outer city is more lively than the inner city. Every time I come to the outer city, I feel better."

She nodded, "Indeed, there are fewer people in the inner city, so the streets seem deserted. People in the inner city are also good at scheming and calculating, unlike people in the outer city who live a simple life and do not have such high pursuits. But in fact, there are also calculations in the outer city, and there are also simplicity in the inner city. This is the difference between people, not the difference between places." She lifted the curtain of the car and said to Zhou Shang, "Stop, let's go down and take a walk."

Zhou Shang drove the carriage forward for a short distance before stopping, then got off the carriage and put down the step stool. Seeing Ye Wenyan get off the carriage, he said, "This is a post station for horses to rest. I will wait for the fourth young lady here and feed the horses some hay. If the fourth young lady is tired when she comes back, please send someone to call me and I will drive the carriage over to pick you up."

Ye Wenyan nodded and said "OK". When he turned around, he remembered something and asked Zhou Shang casually, "You have been to the battlefield with my father before, right? I heard from Ji Duo that you feed horses very well. You are very popular in the border camp. The soldiers are willing to let you feed their horses."

Zhou Shang was very happy to talk about the past, and nodded immediately, saying, "Miss, you are right, it is true. When I was a child and had not yet been sold as a slave, my father and grandfather were horse feeders for wealthy families in the north. My family has the skill of mixing horse feed passed down from generation to generation, and the horses love the feed. After eating it, they can grow fat and strong, and have more strength. So after arriving at the border, the general asked me to try to feed a few war horses in the camp. After feeding for a while, the soldiers found that the horses I fed grew better and fought more bravely. Later, they all gave their horses to me to feed, and I became the horse feeder in the camp."

He was very proud of his past experiences, but he became a little depressed later. "The general is gone, and I have no chance to return to the camp. My indenture is with the Ye family. In the end, I am just a slave of the Ye family, and slaves cannot join the army."

Ye Wenyan nodded and said nothing more, then turned and left. Zhou Shang stood there for a while, until the people at the resting horse station came out to call him, then he tied up his horse and walked inside. But halfway through, he turned back to look, always feeling that the fourth young lady had something else to say, but he couldn't figure out what it was that she didn't say.

This matter was not only strange to Zhou Shang, but also to Ye Chulian. She had always felt that there was something wrong with Ye Wenyan's condition today. Just now, when she suddenly asked Zhou Shang about his past in the military camp, she felt that this problem was probably caused by her uncle.

She thought about it, moved closer, gently took Ye Wenyan's arm, and asked in a low voice: "Sister, it will be the birthday of my uncle in a few days. Should we send someone to pick up my aunt in advance? We should also prepare everything that should be prepared at home, right?"

Ye Wenyan took a deep breath and nodded, "The family should prepare. There is no need to go to pick up mother. The people from Yanhua Palace are guarding outside the small temple. They will naturally escort her back to Beijing when the day comes. But this death anniversary..." She paused and asked Ye Chulian, "How should we celebrate this death anniversary?"

Ye Chulian shook her head. "I really don't know. But I think it's the same way as the anniversary of the death of the deceased. Burn some incense, or do some rituals, and then the whole family gathers together for a vegetarian meal, talking about the past, and then disperses.

But maybe there are some differences. Didn’t Fourth Sister say that she would call back the Second Branch’s family on the day of the death? There is also the clan leader in Ping County. I wonder if Second Brother can make it in time to bring them back to the capital.”

When she said this, her mood also became depressed, "Sister, this is a family shame, do you plan to spread it to others?"
