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

Chapter 82 Digging a Basement

Ye Wenyan didn't know how Xichun became a concubine, but she was the one who gave her to Xiao with her own hands.

She drank the last mouthful of soup and told Xiangdong: "The wristband Xichun is wearing belongs to the second wife."

Xiangdong thought about it and finally understood: "No wonder I always felt that the bracelet looked familiar, isn't it the same one that the Second Madam usually wears! I heard that it was a relic left by the Second Master's nanny, and it was a pair, but the Second Madam usually only wore one. I didn't expect that the other one would fall into Xichun's hands. Could it be that Xichun has always been the Second Master's person?"

She suddenly felt a little scared. If she had always been the Second Master's person, how much information would she have passed on to the Second Master over the years? The young lady's marriage was replaced by the Third Young Lady. Could Xichun have contributed to this? Xiangdong became more and more scared. She kowtowed to Ye Wenyan several times in a row, "No matter what others do, I will serve you wholeheartedly and will never have any other thoughts. Please trust me, young lady."

Ye Wenyan nodded: "Get up, I didn't say you have other intentions, I just sighed that I didn't know good from evil in the past and kept such a person by my side."

Xiang Dong didn't get up, but asked, "Will the lady take revenge on her?"

"No." She said, "If Xichun only wants to be a concubine, it doesn't hurt my interests, so I don't care. I'll just do her a favor. But I'm not a good person. There are some things I can do and some things I can't do. She can drink my red date soup and she can also falsely accuse me of having flowers in my room. The reason why I didn't bother her too much is not because I'm soft-hearted. I just want to keep her, maybe I can keep the truth."

Xiang Dong was puzzled, "What truth?"

This time Ye Wenyan just shook his head and stopped talking.

Ye Jingsheng might be greedy for beauty, but Xiao was definitely not someone who could swallow her anger. I remember that because of marrying the hairdresser Liu, Old Madam Xiao had to come to talk to Old Madam Ye in person. This time, another maid was involved, but Xiao didn't react much. This was not normal.

Who could make Xiao swallow her anger, and let Xichun serve tea to the old lady in front of her, and then listen to the old lady's words that there is no reason behind it? Who would believe it?

"Go and call the two old women who are working in to me. I have something to ask them." She waved her hand to send Xiangdong away. Soon, the two old women who were detained by her for searching for hidden flowers came into the house.

Xiangdong closed the door outside and stood far away, not wanting anyone to come in and disturb her.

After what happened last time, the two old women now have some psychological trauma towards Ye Wenyan. Until now, they still can't understand why the things from the Fourth Young Lady's room appeared on them when they clearly didn't take anything?

When this was originally planned, the old lady repeatedly reminded them to only look for flowers and to pay close attention to everything else, and not to damage the imperial gifts in the house, so they were really careful.

I didn't expect that even though I was so careful, something bad still happened in the end. The key point is that this incident was too strange.

The two maids knelt in front of Ye Wenyan, looking at each other, neither of them could guess why the Fourth Young Lady suddenly called them in.

Ye Wenyan was not in a hurry either. He drank the tea on the table sip by sip. The charcoal brazier in the room occasionally made crackling sounds, which made the two old women's hearts tremble. They were afraid that the fourth young lady would be unhappy and push them directly into the charcoal brazier.

They all heard about what happened on the night of the seventh day of the sacrifice. The fourth young lady was so fierce that she actually roasted the second master's hand as if it were a pig's trotter. She is truly the granddaughter trained by the old general. Is there anything in the world that she dare not do?

They didn't know how long they knelt. They just felt their legs going numb and their knees aching slightly. Ye Wenyan finally spoke and asked them the first question: "How did my grandfather die?" The two old women were shocked and their hearts almost jumped out.

How did the old man die? Why did the fourth lady suddenly ask this?

"Is it difficult to answer?" Ye Wenyan put down the teacup, leaned forward, rested his elbows on his knees, crossed his arms in front of him, stared at them and asked again, "In my memory, although my grandfather was often injured in battles, he was a military commander, so his body was always strong, and even if he was injured, it would not be fatal. But such a person died suddenly. If you say there is no strange reason, no one will believe it."

One of the maids bravely answered her, "Fourth Miss, the old master really died of illness. I remember clearly that night, the old master suddenly had a fever. The guest doctor treated him overnight, but the high fever never subsided. The old lady had no choice but to send someone to invite the imperial physician. The imperial physician came but could not cure the disease. Instead, he found that his old injuries had recurred."

"Yes, that's right." Another maid also spoke up. "The old man had a high fever for more than ten days. Later, the doctors were helpless and the medicine they prescribed didn't work. He became thinner day by day, and his wounds kept festering. That's how the old man died. The old lady cried for many days because of this, and she became thinner too."

"That's it?" Ye Wenyan thought for a while and did not continue to ask about the old man. Instead, he asked another question: "What about my father? How did he die?"

The two maids' hearts sank again, wondering if this would ever end, but they had to answer, so they continued, "We old servants don't know how the master got sick, because we all serve the old lady. The old master had just passed away a day ago, and the mansion was in chaos, so we really don't know why the master suddenly got sick."

"I heard that it was the eldest lady who was with the eldest master at the time. We don't know the exact situation, but it is true that the eldest master fell ill faster than the old man. It was only two days before he passed away."

"Yes, the old master's funeral was originally scheduled for the third day, but because of the eldest master's matter, we had to wait for two more days."

Ye Wenyan frowned, very dissatisfied with the answer, but he couldn't get any useful information no matter how much he asked.

These two people are the old lady's people, and even if they know something about the inside story, it is impossible for them to tell her the truth.

She thought of Ah Ran, the Poison Vein in her previous life. Ah Ran had the ability to hypnotize, and with her special poison, she could make the person being questioned tell all the truth they knew as if in a dream, without causing any harm to the person.

Unfortunately, she didn't know how to hypnotize. She did learn a lot about poison from Ah Ran, but she didn't learn the poison that could make people tell the truth. Now if she wanted to open their mouths, she could only use the violent method of the Ye family, which was to search their souls directly.

But she didn't want to search her soul. Anyone whose soul was searched would become a fool. Two good maids became fools after walking through her room. What would others think? She still had to survive in this world and live in this mansion. She couldn't be too different, at least not now. So, it was better not to use violence. After sending away the two maids, Ye Wenyan was not in a good mood. Looking at her room full of boxes of all sizes, she felt even worse.

She took out two handfuls of wintersweets, stretched her hands out to both sides, and the wintersweets shattered. In an instant, the flowers turned into silver-white light surrounding her hands.

Hua Yin urged her spiritual power to rise rapidly until the whole room was covered with silver light. Then she saw that her palm, which had been lifted up, suddenly changed direction. Her palm was facing downward, and the silver light pressed down together, all pressed to the ground, soaked into the brick mud, and led into the deep underground little by little.

The ground was shaking slightly, and the furnishings on the table in the room also began to tremble, making rustling sounds.

But fortunately, the noise was not loud and it stopped after two or three breaths. The silver light disappeared, the spiritual power was all gone, and everything returned to its previous state.

She walked to the door, opened it, and called out, "Madame Ji, Zhuier, both of you come in for a moment."

The two of them ran over immediately after hearing the shouting, and she said to Xiangdong, "Stand by the door, and call me if anyone comes."

Xiangdong nodded, closed the door again, and stood outside obediently.

Zhuier didn't understand why she was so mysterious, "Miss, do you have something important to tell me and Madam Ji?"

She nodded and pointed at the boxes piled up in the room. "They're in the way. I'll ask you two to do the hard labor and move all these things to the secret room in the basement."

Zhuier was confused, "Miss, what did you say? Underground secret room? Where is the underground secret room?"

Madam Ji glanced at the ground, thinking, "Miss, are you saying that there is a secret room under this room?"

"Yes." Ye Wenyan nodded, but also corrected, "It's not one room, it should be two rooms, or two floors. It's the same size as this room, with two rooms underground. These things can't fill up two floors, but there may be more things in the future, and it will be full sooner or later." Zhuier was even more confused, "I haven't heard that there is a secret room in this room? Where is the entrance?"

She pointed to a cabinet and said, "Move that cabinet away. The wall behind it can be pushed."

Zhuier immediately went over to push the cabinet, and Madam Ji followed to help. As expected, the wall behind the cabinet could be pushed open, like a door, and after pushing it open, there was a staircase leading down.

"Oh my god, there is such a place in this room? Has no one discovered it before?" Zhuier looked at Ye Wenyan, "Miss, this room was where Miss Five lived before. If Miss Five also discovered it, it wouldn't be called a secret room anymore."

"Don't worry, no one knows. My grandfather had people dig it secretly many years ago. There are many secret rooms like this in the general's mansion, but no one in the mansion knows about it. Only my grandfather and I know about it." She made up a lie to fool Zhuier.

But Zhuier really believed it. She believed whatever the young lady said. After all, the old man was only good to the fourth young lady, and everyone knew it. So without any doubt, she dragged a small box and rushed downstairs.

But Madam Ji was not so easy to fool. After Zhuier went down, she lowered her voice and asked Ye Wenyan, "Is this secret room really left by the old general?"

Ye Wenyan smiled, "How is that possible? I asked Master Liyuan to come and dig it out for me using magic. Madam, just keep it in mind, but don't tell anyone else."
