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

Chapter 80 This is such a coincidence

On the fourteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Fuluyuan, which had been quiet for a few days, became lively again.

The old lady was struck by lightning, but she didn't suffer any substantial injuries. Only her hair was burnt and she was scared. After a few days of rest, she found that she was fine, so she resumed her daily morning and evening visits.

Ye Jingsheng had also asked for leave from the court these days because of a hand injury, so he also came today to pay his respects to the old lady.

Xiao had a gloomy face all the way, and from time to time she looked back at Ye Jingsheng who was supported by Xichun. She was so angry that her teeth were almost worn out.

For several days, Ye Jingsheng had been staying in Xichun's room. She reminded him many times not to let the fake play become real, and not to forget why he took this concubine in the first place. Just give her a title and status, and if she wants wealth and glory, you can let her do it, but don't dream of competing for favor and love.

Unfortunately, Ye Jingsheng didn't listen. Not only that, he became even nicer to Na Xichun.

Xiao's anger was rising, and she finally stopped at the gate of Fuluyuan.

Soon, Ye Jingsheng and Xichun also arrived. Seeing Xiao blocking the gate, Ye Jingsheng frowned and expressed his dissatisfaction: "What are you doing? You are already at the gate, why don't you go in quickly? Don't let mother wait for a long time."

"It doesn't matter if we wait a little longer or not." Xiao glared at him, "Master, are you bringing your new concubine to kowtow to the old lady?"

Ye Jingsheng nodded, "Yes, Chun'er entered my room. Normally, she should have come to mother's side the next day to kowtow and listen to her lecture. But mother is not in good health, so she has delayed it until today." After saying that, he looked at Xiao and asked, "Are you standing here waiting for me? You have been taking care of Hongzhuang these days, how can you still think of me?"

Xichun bowed to Xiao and said, "I greet the Second Madam and say hello. Please rest assured to take care of the Third Miss. I will serve the Master well, so you don't have to worry about it."

Xiao glared at Xichun fiercely, "It's not your turn to decide what I want to do! You are just a lowly maid. Don't think you are noble just because you climbed onto the master's bed. In the eyes of the master, you will be a slave for the rest of your life, and you are a lowly person!"

Xichun was terrified and immediately knelt down, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have said that. Please spare my life, Madam."

Ye Jingsheng felt distressed and pulled Xichun up. "You said nothing wrong and did nothing wrong. You don't have to kneel. As a concubine, it is your duty to serve the master."

Xiao stared at Ye Jingsheng and asked, "What do you mean? Are you saying that I didn't fulfill my duty? I have taken better care of Hongzhuang these days, but she is also your daughter. Don't you feel sorry for her?"

Ye Jingsheng was helpless. "Of course I feel sorry for her, and I haven't ignored her. Isn't there still good food and drink at home?" "The good food and drink are provided by the palace!"

"Then why don't you give it too? Now you are the mistress of the house, you can just give whatever you want, can't you?" Ye Jingsheng waved his hand impatiently, "Alright, alright, go pay your respects to mother, and stop making trouble. I don't blame you for caring about Hongzhuang and not me, and you don't have to always care about Chun'er. It's normal for a man to take a concubine, and you will be laughed at if you tell others like this."

Xiao was pushed by him and gave up her place. She watched her man pulling his new concubine into the gate of Fuluyuan. The sadness in her heart almost made her unable to stay there.

She liked Ye Jingsheng, although the marriage was a family marriage between the Xiao and Ye families after weighing the pros and cons. But she had been focusing on her man for so many years since the marriage, accompanying him from the second master to the head of the family, but she had not yet enjoyed the glory of the head of the family and the mistress of the house. Why did the man change?

Jinxiu advised her: "Madam, please think more positively. Maybe Xichun is threatening you with that incident again, so you have no choice but to play along with her."

"Is it a show?" Xiao shook her head. "It's not a show. I know him too well. He has been suppressed for a long time and wants to use this as an excuse to break up with me. Now I have a beautiful concubine by my side, but I can't say anything or do anything. If I had known this would happen, I would never have accompanied him to do that."

Xiao stopped talking and walked into the yard with her head down.

Everyone is here today, except Ye Hongzhuang, even Ye Feiyu is here.

The old lady looked at Xichun who was kneeling in front of her, and then at Ye Wenyan who was sitting below her, and she felt unhappy.

She really wanted to twist her second son's ear and ask him, "You can take a concubine, you can like a maid, but why do you want to take the maid next to that dead girl? Can you be assured of having such a person around you? Aren't you afraid that she was sent by Ye Wenyan on purpose?"

But I can't ask this question at this time. No matter how unhappy I am or how many thoughts I have, I have to endure it.

She didn't take the tea Xichun handed over, but let Juntao take it and put it on the table, then she scolded with a sullen face: "Since you have been taken in by the master, you should understand who you belong to now and who you are living with. Don't always think about your previous master, otherwise the master's kindness to you will be in vain, understand?"

Xichun kowtowed to the old lady and said, "Please rest assured, old lady, I know who is good to me and I know how to serve you in the future and repay you and the old lady for your kindness."

"Yes." The old lady nodded, "Besides that, you should also be aware that being a concubine is not just about serving a man, the most important thing is to give birth to a man's children. Your master has few children, if you can give birth to children for the Ye family, it will not be in vain for your master to love you." After saying that, she looked at Xiao and said, "After all, I am a concubine, you must understand your position, and you must not be arrogant and step on the head of the mistress of the house, understand?"

Xichun expressed her opinion again: "I understand everything. I will respect my mistress and listen to her." She added, "I will also listen to the old lady. Although I cannot call the old lady mother, I will definitely respect you as my own mother."

The old lady's face looked better, she nodded, and asked Xichun to sit aside.

Xichun looked around and sat down next to Liu. As she walked over, she smiled at Liu and called her "sister".

When Liu stood up to return the greeting, Xichun had already sat down on the chair.

Ye Chulian felt unhappy when watching this scene. She looked at her father and shook her head silently.

Ye Wenyan didn't say a word. She just sat there with her head supported by her hands. If you didn't know, you would think she was asleep!

In fact, she was catching up on sleep. She had a big bowl of noodles at Yanhua Palace last night, which made her so energetic that she didn't fall asleep until the sun rose this morning. When she finally felt sleepy and wanted to catch up on sleep, Xiangdong came in and said that Fuluyuan asked everyone to go over, and that the old lady had something important to say.

Is it possible that Na Xichun being a concubine is an important matter? How important is this? It just delayed her sleep for no reason.

Ye Feiyu pulled her aside and asked softly, "Yan'er, are you sleepy?"

She nodded, and then looked at Xichun who had already sat down, thinking that she had finished her work and could go back to sleep. But before she could say goodbye, she heard the old lady say again: "I called you all here today because I have something important to say."

Well, she just opened her mouth and closed it again. It turned out that Xichun’s performance was just an interlude, and the main part was still to come!

"Old lady, do you remember what day tomorrow is?" The old lady looked at Mu and didn't even want to call her the eldest daughter-in-law, let alone her name. She just called her "Old lady".

Mu was too lazy to care about these things and just replied: "Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month."

"Yes, the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month." The old lady nodded, "You have to burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month. The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month is the last fifteenth day of the year. In ten days, it will be the New Year. Now our family is still in mourning, so we can't just fool around with the last fifteenth day of the year. We have to burn incense and worship." Mu Shi didn't object. The old lady was right. The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month was at the end of the year. Even if the old lady didn't mention it, she planned to go to the ancestral hall to worship tomorrow morning. But when the old lady mentioned this matter, she felt that it seemed to be more than just worshiping in the ancestral hall at home.

Sure enough, the old lady continued, "On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, we need to hold a grand sacrifice. We cannot do it at home. We have to go to the temple to show respect."

Upon hearing this, Mu frowned, "The sky is gloomy this morning. I'm afraid it's going to snow heavily. Will it be inconvenient to go to the temple outside the city in such weather?"

The old lady got angry at that moment: "What do you mean by that? Sacrifice is such a big deal, why don't you go because of the snow? We are not the only family that burns incense on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month. Which family would not go because of the snow? Old lady, you have to have a conscience! It's not just your father-in-law who will be killed, but also your husband. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your children. Their father has to bless them in the underworld!"

Mu was speechless. Thinking about it, there were too many people going to the temple to burn incense on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month. She really had no reason to refuse. But she was nervous. She felt inexplicably nervous when the old lady mentioned this matter.

Xiao was in a bad mood because of Xichun's matter. After coming in, she didn't say anything except to pay her respects to the old lady. But Ye Jingsheng took over the conversation: "Since we are worshipping father and elder brother, mother and elder sister-in-law should not go."

According to the folk customs of the Northern Qi Dynasty, it is best for a widow not to participate in her husband's sacrifice. It is fine to do so in the ancestral hall at home, but it is not a good idea to go to the temple to worship. Not only will she be more likely to get sick, but it will also affect her children's fortunes.

In fact, this was not the case at first. The reason why widows were not allowed to attend the memorial service was mainly because they were afraid that they would be too sad. After all, many people fainted from crying, and some even died suddenly. Later, a rule was gradually formed that widows were not allowed to participate in the memorial service for their deceased husbands.

So when Ye Jingsheng said this, Mu could only nod in agreement.

Even though this matter was settled, no one had any doubts about it, only Ye Wenyan frowned quietly. The fifteenth, every fifteenth day of the month is the day when she loses her spiritual power. Not only does she lose her spiritual power, but she also becomes relatively weak, as if she has a serious illness. She had planned to stay in the mansion and lie down for a day, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing. This is too coincidental...
