Chapter 117: I Dug Up the Li Family's Ancestors' G
on. As the youngest prince, the Seventh Prince should rightfully inherit the throne. 。" But... " No buts. 。"Yunchen interrupted her, "Lady Yu, I'll say it again, this is the Emperor's decision!" L...From the moment she was stopped at the palace gate to when Zhu'er killed ten female guards, Li thought and thought again, but never revealed what Zhu'er had vomited later.
After all, it was quite impressive to have gone through that. It's just a shame that it ended with spitting everywhere.
Shi Lifeng heard this and then asked her, "Are those things from the former empress dowager of Xi Gong truly useless"
Ye Wen shook his head, "No! It's useful! Very useful! Although it's not exactly evidence, at least it gives me a direction. At least I know my grandfather's death has something to do with that old woman. This means my future investigations will be more focused and not as aimless as before."
Why didn't you use that Western Palace Empress then
"Nonsense! Of course I'm useless in front of Empress Li. Am I supposed to be useful And thank her for the clues Then wouldn't that mean I have to treat her son I'm not going to waste my time treating him!"
Shi Li Yuan nodded repeatedly, "A-Yan, this deity just likes your stubborn personality."
She bowed to him, "Yield, yield, I'm far inferior to you."
Although it seemed like things were going well, and Ye Wen also returned victorious, Shi Lifen was still deeply troubled by the fact that Empress Li openly sent ten female guards to try and kill him.
Then he pondered for a while, flipping his hand and making a hand gesture.
She looked at the incantation, which seemed extremely complex, and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of spell is that Who are you casting it on"
Shi Liyuan pondered for a moment, then frowned. "What county was it called again The ancestral home of the Empress Dowager of Xigong."
"Immediately, Lian replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, it's from Li County. The Li family originated from Li County and isn't far from Lin'an City, just a hundred or so miles away. However, the Li family has now moved to Lin'an City. Only distant relatives remain in Li County to look after the ancestral tomb."
Shi Liyuan glanced at him, "Talkative." Then he said to Ye Wen, "Just pinch it for Li County."
She recalled that night when the fire raged through the Su Mansion, and asked, "Did you burn down Lady Li's family home"
Shi Liyuan shook his head, "Why burn her family home This deity will dig up the ancestral graves of the Li family."
Night Wen said: ...
Timely: ...
... Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Shi Li Yuan, you're truly amazing. How did you come up with such a cunning move"
"Need you to think anymore" The Emperor's arrogant air was back on. "This deity has always been like this."
"Even Lian Shi followed suit: “That’s right, it’s always been this way. It's just that very few people in the past have been able to give the Imperial Lord a chance to shine. We should thank Fourth Sister for providing opportunities for the Imperial Lord, and we also have to thank Empress Dowager for her relentless efforts, even if they are self-destructive. Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, when Countess Ji came last time, she brought Lady Ye's walking stick, intending it to be used for burning fires in Yan Hua Palace. But that walking stick wasn’t made of good wood, it not only failed to catch fire but also smothered the original fire in our stove."
Shi Liyuan looked at Lian Shi with an exasperated expression. "If your staff won't burn, just find something else, like a chair or table. Do you really need me to teach you this"
At once, Lian Shi said: "This old servant is foolish. This old servant will go to the night mansion right away."
When Lian Shi left, the Yipin General's Mansion welcomed a gloomy day. Because Lian Shi took almost all of the maidservants from Yanhuaping and emptied Lady Ye's room. Not only were the tables, chairs, and cabinets moved out, even the bed where the old lady slept was dismantled and carried away.
The old madam knelt on the ground, trembling so badly that she couldn't utter a word. Because even if it was just Shi representing Yan Hua Palace, if Shi did this, then Yan Hua Palace would do the same. She really couldn't understand where she had offended the esteemed Emperor.
Then Lian said, “A grandmother should act like a grandmother. Otherwise, look, retribution comes quickly!”
The old madam's heart skipped a beat. It was truly the case that what you fear comes to pass. She had been afraid that Ye Wenyan would be involved with Yan Hua Palace, but now it seemed that her worst fears had come true. She was still wondering, was it Yun Chen's face or someone else's face at stake
In short, it's absolutely impossible that it was Emperor Zun's face directly at stake. Ye Wenyan didn't have that fortune or good luck.
While still speaking, he cautioned Lady Ye, "Therefore, people should still be kind. Have you troubled Madam recently"
The sudden question startled the old woman. So it wasn't just Ye Wenyan who was involved, but also Mu Qianqiu
"No, no, not at all." She resigned herself, simply following Lian Shi's words.
"When he said that, Lin was satisfied. 'En, good. You should know in this house, who's the king and who's not.' "
The old lady's heart ached!
Finally, the old man was gone. Shouldn't she be the head of this household now Why was she acting like a great-grandchild Was she really expected to live under the thumb of her daughter-in-law and granddaughters even in her own home"
Seeing the old woman's grim expression, Ye Lianmiao, who had been kneeling beside her all this time, spoke up and asked Lian Shi, "Why are you helping Ye Wenyan like this Isn't Yanhuagong supposed to be indifferent to worldly affairs"
The old lady was so startled that she nearly slapped her granddaughter to death. She had already resigned herself to being mocked, what on earth was this little wretch doing
Since the information has already been released, it can't be taken back. Even Old Madam herself is eager to know the answer. Why did Yan Huagong help Ye Wenyan What went wrong in the process
Looking at the two generations, Lian snorted coldly after a long silence: "Don't ask what you shouldn't. When it's time for you to know, you will naturally know. Of course, our family also reminds you both that some things are better left unknown once you know them. By the way, where is Sister Ye Si Our family has come a long way, we should at least visit Sister Ye Si."
The old madam's heart ached, "Wen Yan is not at the residence."
"Not at home" Lian Shi raised his voice, "If not at home, then where"
The old madam gritted her teeth and said, "On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, she went to the temple to burn incense. When she returned, her carriage was gone, along with the coachman."
"Haven't they come back" Lian Shi walked forward two steps, bending down to stare intently at the old woman in front of her. "If they haven't come back, they're lost. My granddaughter is lost, and you're sitting here in the manor as if nothing has happened, Matriarch. This isn't right!"
The old madam shivered again, "I beg your pardon, sir. Please tell me what I should do"
Of course, we should go and look for it.
But if they were to look for her, the little one's reputation would be ruined.
"Oh yes, it would ruin her reputation." Lian Shi nodded. "A woman's reputation is very important. Well, how about this, let the old madam also throw herself into disrepute, and then have people from the mansion search for the fourth sister in the name of finding the old madam. Wouldn't that work You are at this age, you don't care about fame or reputation, so this arrangement is best."
The old lady was terrified and quickly said, "I'm getting too old for this sort of trouble! I beg you to show some mercy."
Lian Shih resolutely shook his head. "I can't sympathize, I can't sympathize. Whether or not you can bear the upheaval is your own business. Anyway, we have brought the word to our house. At the Lunar New Year banquet, someone must see Night Fourth Sister. If the Ye family fails to deliver her by then, well...heh heh, that won't be good."
When Lian Shi left, the old madam knelt on the ground for a long time before being helped up by Ye Lianmén.
She asked Yè Lián Miàn, "At the grand palace banquet on New Year's Eve, who wanted to meet Yè Wēn Yán"
Ye Lianmian furrowed her brows in analysis: "It's probably Yun Chen! That eunuch has been coming over here lately, and Yun Chen hasn't been seen for a while. Grandmother don't worry, Yan Hua Palace also has to be reasonable, Ye Wenyan lost it himself, it has nothing to do with you."
The old lady sighed. Reasoning with Yan Huagong When had Yan Huagong ever been reasonable Many years ago, the old man had passed away. The only place in this world that never made sense was Yan Huagong. You couldn't do anything about him.
It's foolish to reason with Yanhua Palace.
"Take me to Qihua Pavilion," she said, reaching out to Jun Tao. Ye Lianmian went to help her, but the old madam swatted her hand away. "You don't need to go. Just let Jun Tao keep me company."
The night stretched on, leaving her with a feeling of being abandoned. She blamed it all on the first wife's family for angering the old lady so badly, dragging her into it as well.
Qi Hua Ge's days were extremely ordinary, just like a running account.
Every morning, after the people finished their meal, there was howling inside the house at night. Xiao Shi cried again for a while. After crying and tiring out, she fell silent until midday. The mistress came over with a whip and beat the three people in the house severely. Then, she had someone give them medicine, guaranteeing that they could survive by clinging to their last breath.
When Old Madam arrived, Mu had just finished whipping and was coming out. Ji Ma Ma was saying to her: "If Madam finds that whipping isn't satisfying enough, then when we get back, I'll sew some barbs onto the whip. That way it will hurt even more."
The old madam was so angry that she almost fainted. She flung Jun Tao away, strode forward, and slapped Mu shi across the face.
With a loud slap, Ji MaMa instinctively wanted to fight back, but she was stopped by Mu Shi.
Mu Qianqiu raised her hand, wiping away the few drops of blood that had been slapped from her mouth. She then addressed the old madam: "You are an elder, and I am the daughter-in-law who married into the Ye family. Although we have a very unpleasant relationship, my name is still on the Ye family's genealogy. So I have accepted this slap. But the whip I will wield will be heavier, twice as merciless."
"You dare!"
“Look, do you dare!” Mu Shi shook her head immediately, “Of course, in this mansion if we talk about bravery, I, Mu Qianqiu, don't rank high. You are the truly bold ones.” Finishing her words, she took Ji Mama’s hand and walked away, not even glancing at the old lady again.
The old woman was unwilling to stay with the Mu clan any longer. She took a few more steps forward, pretending to enter Qihua Pavilion.
Ji Du and Ji Rong stopped her. Ji Du said, "It's still the same sentence: you can go in, but once you think it over, you can't. Grandmother, think carefully."
The old lady couldn't think things through. She was so angry that her liver ached. Not only was she angry, but she was also afraid, afraid that the woman in Yanhuagong would even have her husband make another comeback and throw her out to the suburbs.
I wonder if Ye Hongzhuang has been found yet. If she's discarded again, wouldn't this General's Mansion belong to the old master
She absolutely will not allow that to happen! Absolutely not!n The Second Miss hasn't been feeling well recently and is lying in bed. It's inconvenient for her to see guests." 。“ I know her body isn't well, she was beaten by the Emperor! That's why I didn't w...
