Chapter 96 Let's Burn It First

"Tell me! Where did you take the fourth young lady?" Nanny Ji released the whip from Xiao's waist and immediately wrapped it around her neck again, while also reminding Ye Feizhou, "If you disrespect the Madam again, I will strangle this evil woman to death!"

Ye Feizhou became anxious: "Let my mother go!" As he spoke, he withdrew from the battle and dared not touch Mu again.

Madam Ji snorted coldly, "Answer my question, where did you take the fourth young lady?"

Ye Jingsheng was also a little anxious. Even if he disliked Xiao, he knew that if something happened to Xiao, he would be the next one to be in trouble. So he immediately asked, "Her carriage was lost. Who knows where it went?"

"Then why don't you look for it?" Mu was so angry that she was shaking. "Why don't you look for it if a carriage is lost?"

"How can we find her? There's no way!" Ye Jingsheng waved his hands while speaking. "It was snowing outside, and we didn't realize the carriage was missing until we got to our doorstep. Where can we find her? Besides, a girl's reputation is the most important thing. If we look for her in a big way, do you think she will still have a future even if we find her? We in the First-Rank General's Mansion can't afford to lose face like this!"

"Pah!" Madam Mu almost fainted from anger. "Only people like you care only about futures. Only people like you tie the life and death of your children to your own wealth and glory. As long as my daughter is alive, I don't care what people outside think or say! She is already a witch, what else does she need to have a bad reputation? If a person is gone, no matter how good her reputation is, it will be useless."

"You didn't care about the carriage being lost?" Nanny Ji thought for a while and nodded, "Very good." After saying that, she flicked the whip, let Xiao go, and left.

Xiao covered her strangled neck and asked anxiously, "Where are you going?" Then she heard Nanny Ji walking and saying, "I will go to Tianwuxuan to pick up Ye Hongzhuang, and then find a carriage to personally send her to the wilderness outside the city. No one should ask me where I sent her. I will just leave her there and go. Whether she can come back depends on her luck. In addition, I would like to remind you all not to think about looking for her. Otherwise, as soon as the people you send out to look for her leave, the whole Lin'an City will spread the news that the third young lady of the Ye family was left in the wilderness and did not return all night. As for what other unpleasant things this news may say, I dare not think about it."

Nanny Ji left as soon as she said she would, without stopping for a step, and she spoke as she walked, without making it difficult for anyone to hear what she said.

Ye Feizhou could feel that the old lady had strong internal strength and was an expert. But he couldn't understand why such an expert came to the Ye family and helped the Mu family?

After Madam Ji left, two people suddenly appeared under the cover of night, a man and a woman, both young people in their 18s or 19s.

After the two men appeared, they stood on the left and right of the Mu family. The man said, "Ji Duo and Ji Rong from the Ji family in Quanzhou have been ordered to protect the Madam. Please rest assured, with the two of us here, General Ye Er and his family will never be able to leave this courtyard. If you want, even if we starve the three of them to death here, no one will dare to cause trouble."

With two Ji Nu secret guards there, Qihua Pavilion was like a death row. Even though Ye Feizhou was skilled and brave, he could not resist Xiao's explanation of Ji Nu's origins to him.

When talking about the Emperor of Yanhua Palace, Ye Feizhou fell silent.

In Fuluyuan, Jun Tao went out for a walk and came back to tell the old lady, "The eldest young master and the eldest young lady have been leading people outside to look for the fourth young lady. The eldest lady and that Ji Ma Ma went to Qihua Pavilion. One of them held a big knife and the other held a whip. They threatened to block the second master's family in Qihua Pavilion and even had a fight with the second young master. Now that Ji Ma Ma went to Tianwuxuan and said that she wanted to throw the third young lady out of the city to fend for herself."

The old lady pressed her chest, feeling a little breathless, "Are they trying to trade one life for another? Hongzhuang has two lives, and she's pregnant with the Sixth Prince's child!"

Jun Tao sighed, "There's nothing we can do. Nanny Ji did it herself, so who dares to say anything? Even if Queen Mother Li knew about it, she would probably just have to swallow her loss. Oh, right!" She remembered another thing, "The fire in Prince Su's Mansion has been completely extinguished, but not a single brick or tile remains of the entire mansion. It's all burned to ashes. I heard that even the gold in the account office was melted by the fire. In short, except for the people, nothing is left." Jun Tao frowned, very puzzled, "They say that real gold is not afraid of fire, so how can fire melt gold?"

Ye Lianmian added, "Not only can the gold not be melted, but the bricks and tiles can't be burned to ashes! Besides, the fire didn't last too long, how could it burn the entire palace to ashes so quickly?"

The old lady was confused when she heard what the two said. Gold would not melt, but what if the fire was not an ordinary fire? If it wasn't the gold that had a problem, then it must be the fire. And there was only one person in the world who could produce a different kind of fire.

She was scared for a while. When Jun Tao asked her if she wanted to go to Qihua Pavilion to take a look, the old lady decisively refused: "No! We are not going anywhere. We will stay in the house. I just arranged a burning of incense for them. No one can find fault with burning incense on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month. No matter how they mess around, it won't be my fault. Well, I have nothing to do this time. There is no need for us to get involved in this mess. As for the second brother, he can only wish him good luck. It's their fault for not doing things properly."

Ye Lianmian felt a little cold in his heart when he heard what the old lady said.

Usually the old lady loves her second son the most, and she has known this since she was a child. Between her father and her second uncle, her grandfather always stands on her father's side, while her grandmother always stands on her second uncle's side. In order to help her second uncle, she even personally intervened in Ye Wenyan's marriage, just to help Ye Hongzhuang and her second uncle and aunt's family.

But now that something like this has happened, the grandmother is afraid that she will be implicated and suffer again, so she ignores her beloved second son's family. How cold-hearted is this old lady? If she can treat her own son like this, how can her granddaughter be any better? What if she encounters something one day, will the grandmother be able to take care of her?

Ye Lianmian wanted to go and see her second uncle and second aunt. After all, she was the biological daughter of the Mu family. If she came forward to beg and say a few good words, would her mother let her second uncle and his family go?

But then she thought about that Madam Ji... Forget it, let's not bother with this matter. That old lady was really fierce and she didn't dare to offend her.

Ye Hongzhuang was carried out of the mansion and thrown directly into a carriage. Nanny Ji drove away personally and no one knew where she went.

Fu You stood at the gate and shouted but failed to call anyone back. In a hurry, she did not return to the general's house, but ran directly towards the palace. She had to tell her master that the baby in Miss Ye's belly could not be saved this time.

At Yanhua Palace, Lian Shi brought Chi Hongfang, the prefect of Lin'an, who entered the palace late at night, to report on the situation at Prince Su's Palace. This was Chi Hongfang's first time entering Yanhua Palace and his first time being so close to Lord Emperor. He was so nervous that he couldn't speak clearly. Ye Wenyan comforted him: "Lord Chi, don't be too nervous. The Emperor doesn't eat people. There's really no need to be so scared."

Chi Hongfang had just seen with his own eyes Ye Wenyan lying on the jade chair, and Lord Emperor was sitting next to him, tucking the blanket covering Ye Wenyan from time to time. He couldn't even describe how he felt at that time.

I thought that I had been the prefect for so many years in vain, and that I had solved so many cases in vain. How could I be so blind as to think that Yun Chen had a crush on Fourth Miss Ye? This was not Yun Chen at all, it was clearly Lord Emperor who was having an affair with Fourth Miss Ye!

Oh my god! What's wrong with this? A god-like man and a devil-like woman, what kind of combination is this? What do they like about each other? This is too magical!

Chi Hongfang's mind was in a mess, but he was still somewhat sober and knew he had to say what he needed to say. As for any doubts, he would ask Yun Chen later and have a good discussion about this matter.

So he knelt on the ground, lowered his head and told the story of how the Su Wang Mansion was completely burned, how there was not a single brick or tile left, and how even the gold was burned to ashes. At the end, he said: "When I entered the palace, the Sixth Prince was still kneeling on the street in the inner city, crying and shouting that the wrong person was burned and he did nothing."

Ye Wenyan glanced at Shi Liyuan and asked, "When did you burn down Prince Su's Mansion?"

Shi Liyuan said, "Just now, less than half an hour ago, I told you to eat the noodles by yourself and I would be there soon."

"You went to burn Prince Su's mansion?"

"Ah."

"Why burn Prince Su's mansion?"

"I think that Quan Qinglu has a great grudge against you, and it is very likely that he did this."

"What if it's not?"

"I don't care whether it is or not, just burn it first!" Chi Hongfang listened to this conversation, and sweat dripped down his forehead! It turned out that the emperor was just burning for fun, and would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go! Thinking about it again, it seems that I heard that the emperor is of this nature. He didn't show it much before because there was really nothing worth his action. But now it's different, now there is Ye Wenyan.

Chi Chifang really admired this Miss Ye Si. A witch is a witch, and everything she did was more devilish than the last.

No wonder she dared to smash the Prince Su's Mansion twice. With such a big shot behind her, no one would dare to say no even if she smashed the emperor! General Ye really loves this granddaughter for a reason. She has brought honor to the Ye family. If the ancestors of the Ye family knew that their granddaughter was so ambitious, they would laugh so hard that they would jump out of their coffins!

What a great fortune! What a great fortune!

Chi Hongfang kept sighing here, and finally he heard Lian Shi's voice: "Master Chi, let's go. We have asked all the questions we need to ask. I will ask the palace servants to escort you out."

Chi Hongfang quickly kowtowed to the emperor, thought for a moment, then kowtowed to Ye Wenyan, and then followed Lian Shi out of the hall.

Shi Liyuan looked at him for a while and was very satisfied with the two kowtows made by Chi Hongfang. "This current prefect of Lin'an is a wise man!"
