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

Chapter 67: What we have done cannot be denied

Fuluyuaner.

Ye Jingsheng knelt in front of the old lady and said with a bitter face: "It's not that my son is not ambitious and has no courage, it's really that my son is afraid that the little bitch will hit her mother. The little bitch has been wild since she was a child, and now it's even wilder. Look at her, she dares to do anything. So if my son had made a move at that time, what if she really slapped him?"

Xiao also followed on the side and said, "Second Master has been filial since he was a child, and he only thinks about his mother. It's not that he can't go to the battlefield, nor that he can't practice martial arts well. He told me before that his father and eldest brother went to the battlefield. If he goes too, who will be filial to his mother? Mu Qianqiu has a bad temper. Don't look at her virtuous appearance when she is the mistress. That's all pretending. If he also leaves home to make achievements, Mu Qianqiu will definitely bully his mother in the mansion." Ye Jingsheng nodded repeatedly, and said with snot and tears: "A good man has ambitions in all directions. Who doesn't want to be looked up to by people outside? Who wants to be like me, who is said to be a general who has never been to the battlefield when mentioned? The son is reluctant to leave his mother. The son wants to be filial at home, so the son would rather be stabbed in the back than take the risk of leaving his mother alone at home."

The old lady was so moved that she kept wiping away tears, and finally she just hugged her son and cried bitterly.

Xiao was relieved. It would be fine if she just coaxed them. The old lady only thought about her own loss of face because her second son did not stand up for her and did not beat Mu and Ye Wenyan to death. But she did not think about it. If they really beat them, would the matter be settled?

The mother and son were crying when a maid walked into the front hall. The old lady asked her hurriedly, "How is the Su Palace? Is there any movement?"

The old woman replied, "There is no big movement in the Su Wang Mansion. They just hired people to repair the walls and gates of the mansion overnight. I have not heard that they have any intention of settling accounts with the Fourth Young Lady. I asked the guards of the Su Wang Mansion, and they kept silent about this matter. It seems that they are a little afraid. I don't know whether it is because they lose face or because they are afraid of the Fourth Young Lady."

"Why are you afraid of that girl? He's a prince! His last name is Quan!" The old lady really didn't understand the Sixth Prince's train of thought. He used to be a man with a bad temper, so why did he become like a turtle after encountering Ye Wenyan's incident? "He could endure his palace being smashed twice, what on earth is he enduring? Is he waiting for our family to vent his anger?"

The old woman said nothing. This was all she could see and hear, and she really couldn't give any suggestions.

The old lady was so angry that she waved her hand and asked her to leave. Then she turned to ask Xiao: "Shu Bai, what is the Su Palace afraid of?"

Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Didn't the fourth young lady get a piece of warm jade?"

When the warm jade was mentioned, the old lady's heart twitched again. Yes, the warm jade, that is the precious item given by the late emperor to his legitimate son, but now it is in Ye Wenyan's hands. Apart from the current queen mother, only Yanhua Palace can make the Sixth Prince give up the warm jade. Is it possible that the Su Palace is afraid of Yanhua Palace? Is Yanhua Palace really Ye Wenyan's backer?

She asked again: "Do you really believe that the damn girl has something to do with Yanhua Palace?"

Xiao said, "Mother, I'd rather believe it exists than not believe it exists."

"What do you mean?" The old lady pushed her son away and got angry at Xiao, "Are you speaking for that dead girl?"

Xiao quickly explained: "No, how could a daughter-in-law speak for her? A daughter-in-law is just analyzing this matter. Mother, the Su Palace has not made any move, so why should we be the pioneer? It is better to wait and see. Even if there is a move, the Su Palace should make the first move."

The old lady gritted her teeth and said, "Why didn't Prince Su's Mansion do anything? Didn't they send someone to tell the Queen Mother about this? Didn't the Queen Mother also call Jingsheng to Yong'an Palace to reprimand him?"

"She only reprimanded me, but didn't mention compensation, nor did she mention calling the fourth girl into the palace to reprimand her together. Mother, do you think this is the usual style of Empress Dowager Li?"

The old lady thought about it and felt that what Xiao said made some sense. Didn't that mean that the fight tonight was in vain?

"Mother, the Fourth Young Lady is very strange. Let's not provoke her." Xiao said to her, "The young lady Fuyou sent by Empress Dowager Li is still in the mansion. If it were Nanny Cui, she would have come out to vent her anger on the Sixth Prince. But Fuyou didn't even show up. Doesn't this explain the problem?"

The old lady wanted to ask what the problem was, but then she thought, why should she ask? This meant that Empress Dowager Li didn't want to confront Ye Wenyan head-on, but they were stupid enough to do something that offended others. They didn't do it well, but they got themselves into trouble.

"Forget it, I'll listen to you." The old lady finally softened. But there was still one thing she didn't understand, "What does that damn girl mean by the seventh day of mourning? How can you hold the seventh day of mourning for a living person? Is she crazy?"

Xiao replied: "We don't care if she is crazy or not. If she wants to do it, I will set up the stall for her. She herself doesn't think it's unlucky, so why should we be afraid?"

The old lady thought about it and it made sense. It would be best if she could hold a seven-day funeral to send that dead girl away. Then everything would be fine for her, so she had to celebrate for three days.

The couple finally left Fuluyuan. Xiao's face turned gloomy the moment she left the old lady's sight. The further she walked, the uglier her face became. Ye Jingsheng was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong with you? You were fine just now?"

Xiao glared at him fiercely, "I was giving you face just now. I didn't want to embarrass you in front of your mother, and I didn't want that old lady to think that I bullied her son. But Ye Jingsheng, tell me, what did you do behind my back?"

Ye Jingsheng was shocked, and his first reaction was that the affair between Chang Xueqiao and Ye Wushuang had been discovered.

This frightened him so much that his face turned pale and sweat broke out on his forehead. Xiao looked at him carefully with the help of the lantern held by Jinxiu. The more she looked, the more disappointed she felt. "We have been married for so many years. You wanted to take a concubine and I did. You wanted to be the head of the family and I helped you become one. I didn't expect that you would do such a thing behind my back! Ye Jingsheng, are you worthy of me?"

Ye Jingsheng was scared. He had always been afraid of his wife. Besides, Xiao Shubai was older than him, and when she scolded people, it was like an older sister scolding her younger brother. For so many years, he had been afraid of Xiao's anger.

Although he had been planning for Chang Xueqiao, it had been delayed for more than ten years and had not been accomplished. This showed how difficult it was and how much he feared the Xiao family. He was not ready yet, and was suddenly brought up by the Xiao family. What should he say? What should he do?

Ye Jingsheng didn't say anything, just thinking about it in his mind. Xiao didn't stop talking, she was full of grief and indignation when she talked about this matter.

She asked Ye Jingsheng, "I am the eldest daughter of the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion. Have you never been as good as a maid in your heart? In the past, there was a hairdresser named Liu, and now you have set your sights on Xichun. Do you have any ambition? If you want to find a woman, shouldn't you find someone who can be on the stage? Go out and ask around. All the concubines in other families are maids. Where can I put my face? Where can the face of the Ye family be put? You are the head of the family, why can't you act like a head of the family?"

Ever since Ye Jingsheng heard the word Xichun from Xiao Shubai's mouth, he didn't pay much attention to what he said afterwards and was just feeling thankful.

It turned out that they were talking about Xichun. He thought they were talking about Chang Xueqiao. It was really scary.

It's fine if it's not Chang Xueqiao. As long as it's not Chang Xueqiao, it doesn't matter who it is. He must ensure that Xueqiao and her daughter enter the mansion without any mistakes and in a grand manner. They must not be discovered by the Xiao family early on and then completely suppressed.

He finally spoke and replied to Xiao: "There is nothing we can do about Xichun. You know what we asked her to do in the past."

"I know." Xiao lowered her voice and tried to calm herself down. "But I only know that you promised to take back her indenture and give her a sum of money so that she could live a good life without having to serve others. But what did you do? What did you give her?"

Xiao held up a bracelet, "Does it look familiar? You thought it was the one I always wear? I'm telling you, it's not. I took it off Xichun's wrist. That damn girl Ye Wenyan took it away to exchange for her flesh. This broken bracelet is not of good quality. If it's thrown out, it's worth at most 20 or 30 taels of silver. But I, Xiao Shubai, the eldest daughter of the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion, have been wearing it for more than ten years. Ye Jingsheng, what do you think I want? Why am I wearing it?"

Xiao became more and more excited as she spoke, "Because before we got married, you met me secretly and raped me when you were drunk. Afterwards, you gave me a pair of bracelets, saying that they were the only thing your wet nurse left for you. Your old lady lived a life of luxury and never fed you for a day, and you were raised by your wet nurse. So you always thought of your wet nurse and carried her belongings with you. You gave me the bracelets and said that you would treat me well in the future, and that you would live with me until old age. I believed your lies and valued these bracelets more than priceless jewels, and I have been wearing them on my wrists for so many years."

She sniffed and wiped her tears while speaking, "But I am also a person of status. I can't let people see me holding out two cheap bracelets with my hands. So I usually only wear one, leaving the other hand free to support your Ye family's appearance and my own face. But you actually stole the other bracelet from me and gave it to that little bitch Xichun. Ye Jingsheng, tell me, what do you want to do?"

Ye Jingsheng felt so embarrassed by what she said, especially when Xiao mentioned the incident of him being drunk that year, which made him even more angry.

He still couldn't figure out why he got drunk and did such a thing. He obviously didn't like Xiao Shubai and didn't want to marry Xiao Shubai, but because of that incident, he had to marry this woman home.

Now that Xiao had brought up this issue by using Xichun's matter, he could no longer suppress his anger and angrily said, "I didn't want to do anything, but Xichun changed her mind and forced me to take her as my concubine! I can't deny her request, and neither can you! You know what we did!"
