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

Chapter 8 Who is the New Emperor?

The emperor passed away and people were banned from the streets.

Fortunately, Prince Su's Mansion was not far from the First-Rank General's Mansion, and the Ye family finally arrived at their doorstep before the ban was issued.

Ye Jingsheng got off the car first and saw Ye Hongzhuang grabbing Xiao and crying at the door, with the maid Jinxiu trying to persuade her.

The gate of the general's mansion had not yet been opened. There were officials surrounding them, reminding them with cold faces: "There is a great national funeral, so avoid making noise. If you want to cry, please kneel on the street and cry towards the direction of the palace for the late emperor, instead of crying and shouting in front of your own door. I hope everyone in the general's mansion will take care of themselves!"

These are very serious words. When the old general was still alive, no one would dare to speak to the General's Mansion in such a tone.

It can be seen that the general's mansion is now really doomed, and even the officials on the street dare to show such an expression.

Ye Hongzhuang was so scared that she dared not make any more noise. Xiao turned her head and saw Ye Wenyan getting out of the car behind Ye Jingsheng. She was furious at that moment - "How dare you come back?"

She looked at Xiao, not angry but smiling: "Your daughter has the nerve to go back, why should I be shameless? Second Aunt, do you have any doubts about my return? Well, then I won't go back and continue to wander around the street. But I have always been a troublemaker. I just came back and did such a big deal. If you can leave me outside without any worries, then I will leave now."

As he was about to turn around, the tightly closed door finally opened, and an angry shout came from inside: "Stop! You are not allowed to go anywhere during the national mourning period!"

The person who spoke stood at the threshold. It was the old lady of the general's mansion.

Although the Ye family was very happy today, the 100-day mourning period for General Ye had not yet passed, so the old lady still wore plain clothes and a white flower on her temples, which was in line with the current national mourning. Since the death of her husband, she cried several times a day. In just over a month, she was so thin that she looked like she would fall down if the wind blew.

In my memory, Madam Ye was a very serious old lady who rarely smiled, even to General Ye.

But she has always favored her second son's family more, and was obviously much better to her second daughter-in-law, Xiao, than to her eldest daughter-in-law, Mu.

Ye Wenyan couldn't remember how much love she had for the original owner, but she could remember the punishments she had received since childhood, most of which came from this grandmother.

I guess this old lady doesn’t like the original owner, right?

She smiled bitterly and shook her head, but still walked forward and bowed properly: "Granddaughter greets grandmother."

In her previous life, the Xuanmai Ye family followed ancient rituals. She was very adept at performing these rituals and did not feel unfamiliar at all.

The old lady looked down at her and uttered a harsh "Hmph!" Even a fool could tell how much disgust and disdain were contained in this "Hmph". Ye Wenyan touched her nose and straightened up.

The old lady turned to the official and asked, "I have an imperial decree of the highest rank. Can I go to the palace to pay my respects to the late emperor?"

The officers shook their heads and said, "No."

The old lady asked again: "Who is the new emperor?"

The officer still shook his head: "I don't know."

The old lady continued to ask: "But the Sixth Prince?"

The officials looked at each other, then at Ye Wenyan, and hesitated to speak. After a long while, they said, "I am not in a position to say more. Please take your family back to your residence! The higher-ups have issued an order that all official residences in the inner city must not open their doors or walk on the streets. Everything will be planned after the new emperor ascends the throne."

The old lady stopped asking questions, nodded, glanced at everyone, turned around and went back to the house, and said coldly, "Come in, don't embarrass yourself outside."
