Chapter 136 The Old Madam Has Gone Mad

l title. Although it was supposed to be removed when he resumed court on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, isn't this a dragon turning over The court couldn't resume for a while, so maybe it was co..."How could she be here" the old lady cried out in disbelief, as if she had seen a ghost.

Rubbing his eyes again and taking a closer look, wasn't that Ye Wenyan But why would Ye Wenyan be in Mu Qianqiu's carriage

Those who hadn't noticed the carriage were still discussing, with some saying, "I never thought Night Fourth Sister would be so unrestrained, moving into a man's home before getting married. This is too outrageous."

Someone else chimed in, "A witch can do anything! Just look at her, she's practically begging to be seduced. I bet there are countless men in Lin'an City who have fallen for her charms. Didn't someone once drunkenly stumble to the General's mansion in the dead of night just to call out her name And now he wants to break off his engagement with his fiancee, insisting on marrying Ye Si Jie instead! Hmph!"

Meanwhile, Madam Ye stood there, staring at Night Wenyan who had already gotten out of the car. As she listened to these words, a sliver of comfort and satisfaction filled her heart. After all, this was the result she desired, the outcome she wanted – Night Wenyan's reputation tarnished.

But then someone else chimed in: “How are all the Night family children like this Didn't the elder sister also get pregnant before marriage and have a child with the Sixth Prince” How did the Night family raise their daughters, that one by one they are all like this”

"If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be askew! It's not easy to excuse the old lady for failing to properly educate her granddaughter."

Old Madam Ye's body slanted slightly, and her heart started to panic. One was panicked that the people's words were already a bit out of control, and two was panicked that Ye Wenyan and Ye Qingmei were both walking towards her side with Mu Qianqiu in between them.

Just at this moment, Madam Jiang spoke up again, addressing her directly: “What do you mean by ‘choosing someone yourself’ What do you mean by ‘having no home after drinking tea’” She pointed towards Ye Wenyan while saying this, “Didn't Wenyan just accompany his own mother and arrive in the carriage of Night Mansion If Madam were truly running away with Prince Chen, she should be riding in the carriage of Chen Wangfu right now.”

Jiang Wanting had already stepped forward to greet Ye Wenyan's family. Mrs. Jiang continued, "Old Madam Ye, even when spreading rumors, there should be limits. Leave a line for future interactions. Otherwise, look at this, the lie was exposed on the spot. How would you explain it to your granddaughter"

Jiang Wanting also said, "This is the first time I've heard of a grandmother who personally ruined her granddaughter's reputation. I'm lucky that I don't have such a grandmother, or else I would be so angry."

Mrs. Jiang scolded her, "You can't be so angry! If you die of anger, she wins. My daughter won't lose this lawsuit! You need to show some backbone!" She then walked two steps towards Mu Qianqiu and smiled, "Sister Mu is here!"

Mu Qianqiu nodded at her, "You came early. Our family was delayed for a while and arrived late."

The old mistress finally came to her senses, and the first thing she did was shout in a shrill voice, "Ye Wenyan! How could you be with Mu Qianqiu Why are you in the Ye family's carriage"

Ye Wen's smile widened at that. "Grandmother, with all due respect, as a daughter of the Ye family, where else would I be riding besides in a carriage belonging to my own family"

Someone answered on behalf of the elderly Lady Ye: "You should be in the Prince of Dust's carriage!"

Ye Wen shook his head, "No, no, it's impossible. A few days ago, the Fourth Prince came to our residence to pay respects to my father. At that time, because of my father's death, I had a very unpleasant argument with my grandmother. I can't possibly get close to someone my grandmother dislikes! Moreover, my grandmother has passed away, and the Fourth Prince is a hostage returning to his country. He has no connections in the capital, so he wouldn't be a choice for the Ye family."

"Be quiet!" the old lady nearly went mad, "This is utter nonsense! Are you out of your mind You dare to say such things"

Ye Wen said with an embarrassed look: "Grandmother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken those words. I shouldn't have told anyone. I won't dare to again in the future. Whether it's Fourth Prince having no foundation or there being something wrong with my father's death, I won't dare to speak of it!"

People understood, so this was the case of Ye's family shutting themselves inside their home. They were given out by Ye Wenyan's "not caring". Ye's matriarch became furious with shame and anger. What about the cause of Ye General's death Could there be more to this story

Some people understood better now, so it seems that Yè Sìjie really didn't run away, nor did she go to Chen Wangfu. She was just staying at home the whole time! Old Madam Ye truly is like what Jiang's mother and daughter said, deliberately trying to ruin her granddaughter's reputation.

At that moment, she was overwhelmed with thoughts. Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Madam Ye felt a surge of anxiety.

How could the atmosphere she had painstakingly created be shattered by Ye Wenyan's few words Immediately, she pointed at Ye Wenyan and shouted, "Where have you been all these days"

"Night Wenyan looked surprised: “I’ve been at the manor the whole time! I haven’t gone anywhere! Just now, I saw you slap Fifth Sister at the gate because she was late. Then you took Fifth Sister away first, while I rode in the carriage with Mother and Eldest Sister, which is why we were a step behind. Grandmother, how could you forget Oh dear, Grandmother, haven’t you taken your medicine again today After Grandfather passed away, you were so grief-stricken that your mind isn't as clear as it used to be. The doctor has told you repeatedly to take your medicine on time."

"Hu Badao!" The old woman's heart was particularly weary, "This old woman isn't heartbroken, this old woman isn't confused, this old woman is very clear-headed!"

“Look, you’re making up stories again.” Ye Wenyan walked forward and gently patted the old woman's arm. “There’s no wife who wouldn’t be sad after her husband passed away. Even if she wasn’t truly sad, it wouldn’t be good to reveal her true feelings in front of so many people. Grandma, please stop, people might laugh at you.” He pulled on the old woman's sleeve, “Look, you even wore your fancy embroidered clothes. If this isn't foolish, could it be that you're intentionally humiliating Grandfather”

In fact, no one laughed because many people took these words to heart and pondered why the old general had passed away but his wife didn't seem sad at all, even dressing up

Lady Ye was speechless at what Ye Wen said, she didn't know what to do or say. It felt like facing this granddaughter, even with a thousand pounds of strength, she could be disarmed by the other party's smiling and effortless four ounces of effort. No matter what she did, the other party always had a thousand words to block her.

But today things are strange! Ye Wenming clearly didn't return home last night, so how did he suddenly end up in the same carriage as Mu Shi And it seems so real!

She suddenly remembered something and shouted at Mu's carriage driver, "Did your carriage stop halfway"

The coachman's honest answer was: "Respectfully, Madam, I truly never stopped, not even for a moment."

Night Old Madam fell into a daze, could it be that she was truly confused No!

She was angry and needed to vent, or she felt like she would explode.

But she didn't dare to confront Ye Wen, luckily she still had Ye Chulian by her side. So, she pounced on Ye Chulian like a ferocious tiger, pinching and hitting her while yelling —

“Are you dead You just stand there watching your grandmother being bullied, not even uttering a word! What use are you to me I hired tutors for you, what good is that Speak up! Tell these people, did Ye Wenyan ever return home Did Ye Wenyan disappear on the fifteenth night of the twelfth lunar month Did His Royal Highness Fourth openly declare in front of the court officials that he invited Ye Wenyan for tea that night”

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Lady Ye went mad, and the other ladies present scattered to avoid her as she lashed out wildly.

Ye Chulian was truly frightened. She never expected that the old matriarch would be able to hit someone at the palace gate, in front of so many people.

A slap on the body isn't very painful, but a pinch is excruciating. The old woman has a strong grip and a wicked mind. Not only does she hit and pinch, but with each pinch, she twists half a circle, her fierce expression as if she wants to rip the flesh off your bones.

Ye Chu Lian was in so much pain that she started to sweat, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. But she didn't dare to dodge, she could only let the old madam torment her.

Even so, she did not go along with the old lady's wishes, but gritted her teeth and said loudly, "Grandmother, are you confused The Fourth Sister has always been in the mansion and never lost anything! What happened to the Fourth Prince at court, how could I possibly know The only thing I know is that the Fourth Sister has been living in the mansion these days, visiting the Blessings and Longevity Courtyard every day to greet you. We can all see it! Grandmother, what's wrong with you Why are you saying such nonsensical things Grandmother, should you see a doctor"

The old madam's state of mind completely collapsed!

She no longer expected Ye Chu to comply with her wishes and speak for her. Now, all she wanted was to kill this blind, foolish concubine's daughter.

A mere commoner girl, daring to disobey her, daring to learn from Ye Wenyan and frame her together, what kind of sin did she commit to raise such despicable people Today, kill one for each count, and if Ye Wenyan can't be killed, then Ye Chulian must die!

Everyone thought Old Madam Ye had gone mad! Otherwise, who would have done such a disgraceful thing Who would beat their own granddaughter under the palace walls

Such things, if they must be done, should be done at home behind closed doors. Why do them in public

Moreover, it turns out that she wasn't a maidservant but the granddaughter! Apparently, her swollen face was from being beaten by Old Madam Ye at her doorstep.

The old madam Ye couldn't care less about that. Ye Wenyan had already infuriated her to the point of confusion, even making her think about murder. She just wanted to kill both granddaughters, dead would be better than alive. If she couldn't kill them both, then she'd kill one, anyway, she needed to vent this anger somehow.

It's just strange, Ye Chu Lian didn't feel any pain. The old lady pinched and twisted her, even biting her, but she no longer felt the pain, as if she wasn't being hit at all. Not only was she not in pain, she even felt that every time the old lady attacked, she never actually touched her.

She stood rooted to the spot, looking as though she had been frightened by her own grandmother. In contrast, the old lady's state was the opposite of hers.

Ye Chu'lian didn't feel any pain, but the old madam started to. Each time she pinched Ye Chu'lian, it felt like she was pinching herself. The more force she used, the more pain she felt. If she twisted a little more, it would make her howl in agony.

The old lady was quite strange, thinking she had pinched herself instead. So this time, she aimed carefully and bit down on Ye Chulian’s arm with a loud snap.

The more she bit herself, the more it hurt. Ye Chulian was standing perfectly fine, but she felt her left arm already starting to bleed. Luckily, it was winter and she was wearing thick clothes, so no one noticed.

Lady Ye abruptly let go of Ye Chulian's arm and stared at her fifth granddaughter like she was a monster, speechless for a long while.

It turned out she hadn't mistaken the person. It turned out that all the violence she inflicted upon Ye Chu Lian had been transferred onto herself.

What on earth is going ont argue further because it wasn't that painful of a collision. 。But the problem is, Ye Wen collided with someone extraordinary! He was none other than the second uncle of the Jiang family, who had tra...
