Chapter 62 Retribution Comes Quickly

Xiao left with a lot on her mind. Xichun was held by Mianxiu all the way and couldn't break free. If she moved a little too much, she would feel pain on the places on her body where she was hit by the old lady's cane.

They were dragged all the way back to the East Courtyard. Xiao stopped and stared at Xichun expressionlessly for a while. Then she told Jinxiu to take the person back first, and she went to Fulu Courtyard to see the old lady.

When she arrived, the old lady was talking to Ye Lianmian: "When I touched the purse, it was clearly soft. Even if there were no flowers inside, it definitely couldn't be a waist badge. Think about it, how could flowers and waist badges feel the same? They are too different."

Ye Lianmian was also confused: "That damn girl Ye Wenyan is so weird, grandma, have you noticed that since she came back from the Ye Palace, strange things have happened one after another. Not only this waist badge, but also she suddenly took out a big stick and beat Yuan Mama to death. The more I think about it, the more it doesn't make sense! Such a long stick, longer than her arm, how could she hide it in her sleeves?"

Jun Tao also interjected, "It's not just that she felt strange after returning home, she felt strange before she came back too! Old Madam still remembers her smashing Prince Su's Mansion, right? Where did the hammer come from? Also, I asked the Third Miss, she and the Sixth Prince teamed up and stabbed the Fourth Miss in the heart, she was really dead, why did she come back alive? And after she came back, she was completely different from before. Although it's not obvious on the surface, although she's still just as domineering, but Old Madam, Second Miss, do you think her domineering behavior is different from before?"

Ye Lianmian nodded immediately, "I feel so much. Today's Ye Wenyan seems... seems..."

She didn't know what to say, so Jun Tao took over the conversation: "It seems like he has become smarter."

Xiao listened to these words, and the more she listened, the more she felt that Ye Wenyan was evil. But she thought more than the old lady, at least she had guessed some reasons for this evil nature.

Just like they didn't know how Ye Wenyan survived, they also didn't know how Ye Wenyan got connected with Yanhua Palace. But if we put the fact that Ye Wenyan was related to Yanhua Palace in the front, then does it make sense that she came back to life? After all, the only person in the world who has this ability is the Emperor of Yanhua Palace.

The more Xiao thought about it, the more desperate she became. Once this assumption came true, Ye Wenyan would become an existence that could never be shaken. Even if she was unwilling, she could no longer go against that girl.

But just because she doesn't do it doesn't mean others can't do it.

The old lady looked towards the door and asked, "Second brother, what are you doing standing there?"

Xiao calmed herself down and walked into the house, speaking to the old lady as calmly as possible, "Just now, my daughter-in-law walked a few steps slower, and happened to hear the fourth lady reminding her mother to burn incense for father, so as to avoid..." "Avoid what? To avoid him coming to my house in the middle of the night to settle accounts with me? His granddaughter, who he has spoiled for more than ten years, is bullying me like this, and I haven't settled accounts with him yet, how dare he come to me? And that Mu Qianqiu, who keeps saying that he is an orphan and a widow, I am also an orphan and a widow now, aren't they bullying me too?"

After saying that, he glanced at Ye Lianmian and said fiercely, "If you are so heartless that you want to go back and follow your mother, then don't come to my Fuluyuan anymore. I will consider it as nothing that I have raised you up!"

Ye Lianmian said quickly, "Grandma, don't worry. I won't go back with her. Although she gave birth to me, she barely raised me. She gave birth to me but didn't raise me. I must stay with you and serve you."

The old lady was satisfied, and then asked Xiao: "What, are you going to listen to that damn girl and go burn incense?"

Mrs. Xiao shook her head. "My daughter-in-law didn't plan to go, but she said that. I happened to hear it, so I told mother."

"Hmph." The old lady groaned and closed her eyes. After a while, she opened them again and sighed heavily, "Forget it, I'll just go and burn some incense instead of arguing with the dead. Shubai, you come with me."

Xiao nodded and left with the old lady. Ye Lianmian wanted to follow, but when she thought about having to burn incense and kowtow to her father at the ancestral hall, she felt that she had no feelings for her father and it was better not to go.

Jun Tao accompanied the two masters all the way to the entrance of the ancestral hall and only stopped there, not following them in.

Xiao helped the old lady light incense and also lit three sticks herself.

The old lady kept muttering, listing all Ye Wenyan's faults, such as how he didn't listen to the family's arrangements and made a scene at the wedding hall, how he repeatedly embarrassed her after returning home, and even said that Ye Wenyan shouldn't be alive, and why didn't you take her with you when you left, old man.

Xiao felt terrified after hearing this and wanted to advise her to say less such things. What if a dead person heard it?

But before she could even open her mouth, the incense that the old lady was holding in her hand suddenly broke in half, fell to the ground with sparks, and burned a hole in the cushion on the ground.

The old lady shuddered, her face turned pale, and she looked at Xiao in shock, and asked her tremblingly, "What's going on?"

Xiao had no idea what was going on, so she could only comfort her: "Maybe the incense was not bought well, or it got damp."

But she herself did not believe it. She was frightened when the old lady's incense ran out. She looked at the incense in her hand and said nothing. She just bowed three times and put the incense into the incense burner.

Perhaps she had been holding the incense in her hand for too long while waiting for the old lady to finish her words. A long strip of incense ash had accumulated on it. When she inserted it into the incense burner and shook it gently, the incense ash fell with a little spark and landed right on the back of her hand. A big blister formed on the white back of her hand, and she screamed in pain.

The old lady was frightened, and she threw the remaining half of the incense stick on the ground without lighting it or inserting it, and turned to walk away. Xiao Shi didn't dare to stay any longer, and hurriedly followed behind. They both walked in a hurry, and they tripped when they crossed the threshold.

The old lady was supported by Jun Tao who was waiting outside. Xiao had no maid with her, so she fell hard.

She was even more frightened and began to regret why she had to get involved in such a trivial matter, why she had to pass on such a message for Ye Wenyan? Her original intention was to show some goodwill and pass on the message to the old lady to scare her. In the end, she scared herself as well. What was she trying to do?

The three of them gradually walked away, and a figure gradually emerged in the ancestral hall, muttering softly: "Go ahead and do it, retribution will come soon, it will never be too late."

Ye Wenyan looked at the three people's backs as they left for a while, then turned around and looked at the tablets of the Ye family's ancestors enshrined on the table, and soon found the names of old man Ye Zhenwei and eldest master Ye Jinggui.

She squatted down to pick up the fallen incense sticks and put them on the ground at the door. Then she came back and took three incense sticks and lit them near the oil lamp.

Holding incense and bowing three times is to pay homage to the original owner's grandfather and father, and also to pay homage to the grandfather in the heart and the father who passed away early.

It's a pity that the Ye family in this life at least has such an ancestral hall. The living people want to worship the dead and have a place to burn incense and kowtow. But in the future generations of the Ye family, no one will even build a cemetery.

They are hidden from the world, so even if all the people there die, no one will find them.

The smell of sandalwood is pleasant and can calm people's hearts, but this smell always makes people sad when it appears in such an environment.

After inserting the incense into the incense burner, Ye Wenyan did not leave, but knelt down on the futon and kowtowed to the ancestors of the Ye family seriously. Then he spoke and said softly: "Although I am not your real descendant, I was indeed reborn with the body of the fourth daughter of the Ye family, so I pay tribute to you on her behalf, thank you for your love and care for her." "Unfortunately, her grandfather who loved her is gone, her father is gone, and soon after, she is gone too. She was killed by someone, a knife stabbed to the heart and died! You also saw those two people just now, they were unscrupulous and used all means to kill the fourth daughter, and now they are trying to harm me. But how could I let them harm me? So I fought back, I fought back, if the means were a bit tough, please don't mind. After all, I am not a good person, and I am used to fighting back without any mercy."

"To be honest, I haven't taken the initiative to do anything since the day I came into this world. They have always been the ones who have been causing trouble for me. You may not know me well and think that I am the type of person who will fight back only when I am cornered. Actually, that's not the case. I hold grudges, but my memory is so bad that I can't remember them for long, so I usually take revenge on the spot. The reason why I didn't take the initiative these days is that I just arrived and I wanted to give them a gentler impression."

She rubbed her face, and remembered that day when Yun Chen called her gentle, and she laughed, "Later, I found that I really couldn't be gentle, and I couldn't pretend anymore. So today I came here to tell you that from now on, I, Ye Wenyan, can't just sit and wait for them to come to my door, I may have to beat them first. Don't be offended, elders, if you really can't stand it, just close your eyes first, and open them after I finish beating you."

She stood up from the ground, took a last look at the tablets, and said coldly: "These people are all your descendants, and they are all part of the Ye family. Maybe you think that it is unnecessary for an outsider like me to care about these things, but there is no way. Since I have this body, I have to bear her karma. Moreover, this body is as cold as a dead person. I have to fulfill her obsession before I can live my own life. Grandfather and father died in vain, and I must avenge this for sister Wen Yan. In this family, who is good and who is evil, who can stay and who must be taken away, please wait and see!"

"Miss." Outside the ancestral hall, Nanny Ji called her, "Miss Jiang is here, and she wants to take you for a walk on the street..."
