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

Chapter 690 Housekeeper

This voice was too familiar, and Ye Wenyan stopped immediately. Seeing this, Tang Shi hurriedly said, "Ever since she returned to the Jiang family, she has never been quiet. She always wants to act like the head of the family, but who would listen to her! Fourth Miss, let's go to our residence and settle down first. It's raining heavily outside, and we can't even light candles. If we delay any longer, it will get darker."

Ye Wenyan didn't listen to her. Not only did she not go to her residence first, she even walked a few steps towards the small courtyard. Soon she heard the voice of a maid coming over: "Old lady, we are no longer worthless, but at least we are better than you, right? Who are you? You were divorced by your husband's family and sent back to your mother's home. You are a shame to your mother's family. How can you still have the nerve to say that this is your home? If you really regard this place as your home, you should be wholeheartedly good for this family, and you should be a good Madam Ye in the capital, instead of being kicked out. You are quite old, but you can still be divorced. It's so funny to tell others that you can still let your teeth fall out. It's only because our master is kind-hearted and still remembers the relationship between you and your sister that he allows you to continue living in your mother's home. Otherwise, with your status, you should be sent to the temple to fend for yourself."

"What did you say? Tell me again!"

"I'll say it again, people like you should be sent to the temple instead of living in the Jiang family and causing trouble for the Jiang family every day. People like you are simply unlucky. Since you came back, the Jiang family has not had a good day, and even Xiushan County has suffered bad luck. Now people are dying outside every day, and all the dead are thrown in front of the Jiang Mansion. The master is so scared that he is bedridden, and everyone in the family lives in fear. These are all bad luck brought by you. Old lady, could it be that your enemies are here to seek revenge?"

The maid's words made Ye Wenyan think for a while. Could it be that the old lady's enemy? The incident in Xiushan County seemed to have started after the old lady came back, and judging from the fact that the body was dumped in front of the Jiang Mansion, it was very likely related to the old lady. But who did the old lady offend that the entire Xiushan County was buried with her? Her biggest enemy in the capital should be her, right? Could it be that someone wanted to frame her?

It was obvious that Shi Liyuan had also thought of this and was looking at her. Ye Wenyan shook her head, indicating that she couldn't figure it out either.

"Let's go!" She said to Mrs. Tang, and then was about to leave the old lady's yard.

But before he could take two steps, he heard footsteps behind him, which seemed very urgent.

She turned around and saw a man in a straw raincoat walking towards them quickly. When he came to them, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then he saw Tang and quickly bowed: "It turned out to be the old lady. I heard that there was a commotion here again, so I came to take a look."

Tang nodded, "Well, go and check it out. Don't let her scream all day long. It's dark now. If she keeps making noise, it will attract thieves. She wants to die, but we don't! Tell her to shut up quickly. If she doesn't shut up, tie her up and throw her out of the house."

"I understand. Please rest assured, madam, I will take care of it." After the man finished speaking, he bowed again, glanced at Ye Wenyan and the others, and then hurried into the yard.

When he entered, Madam Ye was dragging the maid who was arguing with her out. The maid was in a very awkward situation because she had grabbed her hair, but she was still yelling and cursing, "You are an old lady who was divorced and sent back to her parents' home. You can only show off in front of the servants. When you meet the old lady of our Jiang family, don't you still have to be humble and fawn on her? I thought the people in the capital were so tolerant, but I didn't expect you to be such a person. No wonder the Ye family wants to divorce you. Whoever wants an old woman like you will be ashamed."

"Pa!" Madam Ye slapped him in the face and wanted to continue hitting him, but her raised hand was grabbed by the man who just entered the yard. Then she heard the man shouting - "Enough! Stop!"

Madam Ye turned her head to look at him, "How dare you, a housekeeper and a servant, teach me a lesson?"

Ye Wenyan realized that the man was the housekeeper of the Jiang Mansion. Tang was also saying to her, "These days, the murder outside has caused a lot of trouble. Everyone in the family is sick and scared. Your uncle has been lying on the bed for many days. The housekeeper is in charge of everything. Alas, I am too lazy to take care of Jiang Xiu. If she scolds the housekeeper today, I will have to throw her out."

She paused here, and then asked Ye Wenyan tentatively: "Do you really not want her? Will you still care about her? Fourth Miss, if you just want to teach her a lesson and want to take her back to the capital in the future, then I can't be too harsh."

Ye Wenyan waved her hand, "You can do whatever you want with him. Our Ye family definitely doesn't want him anymore. But don't throw him away too quickly. Keep him for a few days and see what happens." She had no intention of paying attention to Tang because the courtyard was bustling with activity at the moment.

After the housekeeper had taught Madam Ye a lesson, he went on to teach the maid a lesson. He said, "No matter how bad a master is, he is still a master. As a servant, you cannot step on the master's head. I have told you this many times, but you did not listen and quarreled with the master again and again. Today, I will not tolerate you anymore. A maid like you will bring disaster to the Jiang family." "What do you mean by this, housekeeper? You want to punish me? Why do you want to punish me? I am not the only one who has this attitude towards her. The master and the old lady do not want to support her! She is the scourge of the Jiang family. She brought disaster to Xiushan County."

"That's not our turn as servants to say." The housekeeper signaled Madam Ye to release her hand that was grabbing her hair, and then said to her, "Go and accept the punishment yourself. If I find out that you didn't, I will immediately throw you out of the house to fend for yourself." When he said this, he glanced outside the yard casually, and then said, "You ignorant thing, what do you know. At a time like this, the more people at home, the better. In this way, even if the demons outside kill us one by one, we have a chance to die one day later. She stayed here to protect us from disasters, and I don't want to have one less person at home at a time like this."

The maid was very afraid of the housekeeper. When she heard that she was going to be thrown out of the house, she turned pale with fear. When she heard the housekeeper say that more people should be kept at home to ward off disasters, she felt that this seemed to be the truth. What if the old lady was supposed to die tonight, but she was not at the house, and it was her turn to die? She couldn't die, so she had better go and accept the punishment. The maid ran away in the heavy rain, and the housekeeper scolded Old Lady Ye again. Old Lady Ye didn't make a fuss this time. She didn't refute after being scolded a few times, and returned to the house resignedly. But before returning to the house, she still said to the housekeeper: "I'm hungry, give me a proper dinner, don't always use porridge and pickles to deal with me. Those are what I eat in the morning, and you should prepare proper dishes in the evening."

The housekeeper snorted coldly, said nothing, and even pushed her hard, pushed her into the house and closed the door.

Tang also snorted coldly and said, "Look, Fourth Miss, everyone is annoyed by her. We are really kind to let her stay at home. If she continues to make trouble like this, I'm afraid the Jiang family will really not be able to keep her."

Ye Wenyan didn't respond to her, just raised the corner of his lips and turned away. But in her heart, she remembered the housekeeper of Jiang's house, because she was sharp-eyed. Just now, when the old lady was pushed into the house, she staggered. The housekeeper subconsciously stepped forward to help her and held the old lady's hand while helping her. Although it was only a shake, it was still seen by her when it was dark and raining. After walking a distance, they finally arrived at a courtyard. This courtyard is quite large, with rockery and flowing water in the courtyard, and it is decorated very carefully. Tang said, "This is the best courtyard in the mansion for entertaining guests. There are two main rooms and two side rooms. You can live in whichever room you want. Of course, it's best to live in the main room, because it's raining and the side rooms are too damp. The servants will bring the food here soon. You can have a rest after eating. It's too late tonight. If you have anything to say, we can find a chance to talk tomorrow morning. Fourth Miss, don't pick on me. It's really that the county has been in turmoil recently. To be honest, I'm very nervous now. I'm afraid that someone will kill me on the way back."

"Is it that scary?" Feng Zhaolian had been silent before, but now she could no longer hold back. She grabbed Tang and asked, "Tell us more about the murder! Also, why did they throw the bodies at the gate of Jiang's house? Was the murderer an enemy of the Jiang family? Or did your Jiang family do something heinous, and they threw the bodies here just to scare you to death?"

Tang was obviously a little angry after hearing this, but Feng Zhaolian came with Ye Wenyan, so she could only swallow her anger. But what she said was not good - "We are just ordinary people, what kind of evil things can we do? Miss, don't talk nonsense, if you say such things, you will be sued."

"Oh, is it the Jiang family who wants to sue me?" Feng Zhaolian was so angry that she laughed. "Do you believe that I dare to say this when I go to the government? From childhood to adulthood, I have never heard of anyone going to the government to sue me. It's new to hear it from you today. Okay, old woman, go back quickly. We can ask others about what you don't want to say, but let's be clear in advance. If the murder is really related to the Jiang family, don't blame us for killing our relatives for the sake of justice and sending your whole family to the government. Okay, go quickly!"

Feng Zhaolian waved her hand to chase him away, just like she was at home. Tang wanted to say that this was her home, and she could leave if she wanted to, and she could stay if she wanted to, and you had no right to chase her away. But when she saw Ye Wenyan smiling at the girl who was talking, she became even less confident.

Finally she left in shame, and only when she walked out of the yard did she realize that the rain was too heavy and the wind had blown a hole in the oil-paper umbrella, so it could no longer block the rain. She was so angry that she could only run as fast as she could, and the more she ran, the more panicked she became.

Inside the room, Feng Zhaolian said, "Ah Yan, where are your secret guards? Didn't you say there was one here, and one came here on horseback in advance? Where are they?"
