Chapter 441: Truly Unlucky

you. If everything could be done over again, I would rather not have married into the General's mansion, nor would I want to give birth to a son like you." 。Ye Fei Zhou, why can't you just die If you...Ye Wen always didn't fear words like "just wait and see", because every time someone said that to her, the unlucky one ended up being them. 。But this time, Ye Hongzhuang didn't have bad luck. Bad luck didn't disappear, it just shifted. 。For example, when the night scene was bustling, Li Chun dragged Xi Chun towards the East Courtyard, and on the way, she tripped and chipped half her front tooth. 。Xi Chun wasn't doing much better either. She stepped on her skirt, fell and hit her forehead, which immediately burst open and bled. 。 And that wasn't all. At supper time, because of the incident with Ye Hongzhuang returning in a night dress, Old Madam summoned Ye Cheng to Fulu Courtyard for dinner and took the opportunity to inquire about what had really happened. 。When she heard that the children of Ye Hongzhuang were gone and had been driven out by the Sixth Prince, she was furious. She slammed the table and scolded Ye Hongzhuang for being useless, a waste of all these years of cultivation by the Ye family. 。As a result, when I slammed the table, the bowl broke. The shards of porcelain cut my palm, and blood streamed from the wound. 。 This meal, Xichun also joined in. As soon as the old lady saw her, she gasped and mused, "Could it be that Fourth Miss was right" She then covered her mouth, "Master, I'm not speaking up for Fourth Miss, I just think this is ominous." 。Since Miss Hongzhuang returned home, first you broke your tooth, I bumped my head, and now Old Madam has cut her hand. To say this is a coincidence, wouldn't that be too coincidental Miss Hongzhuang really is unlucky!

Xichun is annoyed with Xiao Shuwai and Ye Hongzhuang because the mother-daughter pair put on airs and look down on her as someone of servant status.

Especially Xiao Shubi, he even named her courtyard "Concubine Servant Garden." What a ridiculous name Tonight, Ye Hongzhuang came back and scolded her relentlessly. Does she really think she's easy to bully If she doesn't let her have a good time, she won't let them have a good time either. Anyway, the Ye family is already like this, just see who can outdo each other. 。"Yes, it's Red Makeup who brought bad luck. Nothing happened when she wasn't around, but once she came back, we had one mishap after another. Isn't this bad luck" Xichun said while helping Juntao bandage the old lady. "Grandmother, isn't that right"The old lady was in pain and gritted her teeth. She was also thinking about this matter of bad luck, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Xichun was right. 。So he nodded, “It is indeed bad luck.” 。"Then he looked at Ye Waning, “How about we send her to the Guzi Temple outside the city” Ye Waning sighed, "I can't. I have to keep her here, or else Xiao Shubi will fight me to the death." 。"Are you afraid she'll fight tooth and nail" The old madam almost laughed, "Jing Sheng, are you outmatched by her, or can you beat her" "Mother…" Ye Jing Sheng wanted to speak but stopped, lowering his head and not daring to look at the old madam. 。The old lady immediately understood. 。Such a scene wasn't her first time seeing. After the eldest died, her second son and daughter-in-law would often be in this state. 。She knew they had things to say, but they were unable to speak them. They both dared not and could not. 。That was the Night family's second secret, concerning the life and death of their second son's family, and also relating to the Night family's reputation and human relations. 。She didn't ask, pretending she didn't know. 。If the second son says nothing, then pretend he did nothing. 。Now Cai Xiao Shubi is using this to threaten her second son, then this daughter-in-law can't stay. 。

Everyone at the dinner table had their own thoughts, until Ye Wansheng and Xi Chun left. Only then did Jun Tao ask, "What was grandmother thinking about"

The old lady didn't hide it from her, "I was thinking how to get rid of Xiao Shoubai quietly."

She can threaten Jing Sheng once today because of her red makeup, and tomorrow she can threaten him again. 。In her hands, this thing was always a wild card. 。"

Jun Tao thought for a moment, then said: "But Second Madam had no reason to expose the Master! That matter wasn't done by the Master alone, she was involved too. " 。" Humph, you know what " 。“The old lady looked at her scratched hand, becoming even more agitated. ‘Those who have always walked barefoot are never afraid of those who wear shoes. Once Xiao Shubi lost everything, she took pride in her daughter who ended up with nowhere to go back to, then she wouldn’t have anything left to lose.’” 。I was watching Lao Er Zhang's wedding preparations. That night, Ye Wen didn't say anything less to help things along. On the surface, she seemed to be helping her second uncle, but from another angle, maybe she was just trying to provoke Xiao Sh beyaz . 。“ Madam’s meaning is that the fourth young lady acted with premeditation But how did she know Second Master didn't mention it to you, or did you figure it out yourself How could the fourth young lady have known”When this matter was mentioned, even the old madam felt confused. 。How did Ye Wen know Who knows how she knew. 。When they realized that many things had already been suspected by Ye Wen, it seemed too late. 。The haunting of Fulu Courtyard was meant to stimulate and test her, while helping Lao'er find a wife was intended to anger Xiao Shubi. 。Ye Wen's methods are endless, leaving people unable to guard against them. If this continues, this family will be finished. 。When the old madam thought of this, she took a deep breath and whispered, "It's not that I have a cruel heart, it's just that some things force me to do so." 。Since I can't deal with Ye Wen at night, then let's just get rid of Xiao Shubi! I have to clear the way for my second brother, and I can't let him be threatened by a woman for his whole life. 。Xiao Shubi is no longer useful. He can't give birth to children, and he has no good sons or daughters to take care of him. But the one who hasn't entered the family yet has a beautiful daughter in her belly, and she is also pregnant with another child. That is the hope for the Ye family in the future. 。One Xiao Shubi and one of her maidservant Jinxiu, neither of these two people could be kept. 。She held Juntao's hand, "This matter still has to be left to you. Even the second son is involved in this household, the only one I truly trust is you." 。My dear Jun Tao, I treat you like my own daughter. We rely on each other, and as long as you listen to me, your mother will never let you down. 。As he spoke, he took a jade bracelet from his wrist and fastened it onto Jun Tao's arm. 。Jun Tao resisted for a while, then accepted it. 。The old lady saw that she had taken it, and then she let out a sigh of relief. She said to her again: "Although this matter is important, it can't be done too quickly. At least we have to wait until the new mistress moves in before we talk about it." 。Otherwise, if there were a major death in the household again, it would be even more difficult to welcome a new bride. 。Jun Tao, I trust you with this. When the time comes, we'll use our medicine. The day... will be ten days after the new mistress moves in! Remember to arrange a grand ceremony for her passing and spend a bit more money on it. Make sure she is properly at peace and doesn't cause any trouble in the mansion after death. 。Well, this old woman isn't afraid of trouble. I've been through a lot lately and toughened up, but that unborn child can't handle it. 。“ Yes, Grandmother. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter and ensure everything goes smoothly.” 。Tomorrow, this servant will go out of the city. I will say that it is to welcome the new mistress into the house and burn incense at the temple for the old madam. I will also inquire about the superseding ceremony. 。"

Good 。The old matriarch was a little tired, and after she finished explaining everything, she didn't want to think about it anymore. She let Jun Tao support her and went to rest early. 。Tonight, another young maid was on night watch duty. After serving the old mistress to sleep, Jun Tao went back to her own room. 。She was the elderly lady's first maid, with her own private room, so she could do pretty much whatever she wanted in secret. 。For example, over the past two or three months, she has saved up a sum of money, and she has also put all the rewards she received for being a first-class maid over the years into a package. 。In addition to the bracelet just given by the old lady, her family property is not insignificant either. 。She had thought of waiting a few more days. She imagined that on the day the new mistress entered the household, the second master would certainly give out a generous reward. It wouldn't be too late to leave after receiving that reward. 。She will not live to see that day. 。The old madam's intention to get rid of Xiao Shubi and Jinxiu had nothing to do with her, even if she were asked to do it herself, she wouldn't... 。Ke Juntao knew, once Xiao Shubi and Jinshuu were both dead, the old woman's next target would surely be her. 。Because by then, the only person in the mansion who knew the truth besides the old mistress and the second master was her. 。She not only knew the truth, but she was also personally involved, so this is a difficult situation. 。The best keeper of secrets is a dead person. The old lady would do anything for her second son. The fact that she could stand by and watch her second son kill her first son speaks volumes about how ruthless she is. 。Now, in order to protect the family business which has been passed down to the second son's hands, getting rid of her is a matter of sooner or later. 。So she had to run, while everyone in the mansion was busy with the new mistress's affairs, and this chance to leave town presented itself. She had to run far away. 。Jun Tao made such plans, sleeping soundly that night. The next day, he even slept in a little longer, just to make sure he had enough energy 。One cannot slack off when running away, one must keep moving both day and night. 。At the very least, for the first few days, she must run as far away as possible without letting the Night family catch up. That's the most important thing. 。As for the matter of her warrant, she no longer cared. She would simply take back roads and mountain paths, avoiding towns, as long as there were no patrolling soldiers, she could always run to a place far away from the emperor's reach, where she could hide her true identity and live a good life. 。The next day, she attended to the elderly mistress as usual for breakfast. The mistress was kind and allowed her to eat with her. 。She wasn't polite either, she sat down and had a good meal. 。Then the old mistress began to urge them, “Hurry along and go, the earlier you go, the sooner you’ll be back.” 。Remember, when you get to the temple, just inquire about it. If anyone asks too many questions, just say that we're performing a ritual for our grandfather at home. 。Anyway, everyone in town and the countryside knows about this situation at home, so no one would suspect anything. 。Let's get prepared first. Once Xiao Shubi dies, we'll invite the master in immediately. We can't delay for a single moment. 。This matter is important, if we don't handle it well, it will frighten the unborn child, so the ceremony must be done in time, understand" Jun Tao nodded seriously, "The servant understands, but I'd like to ask the old madam, if the temple needs to keep some silver for the ceremony beforehand, should we leave it Doing a ceremony can cost quite a bit. Recently, the two masters have been repairing the courtyard and buying new furnishings, so our family has almost nothing left in the treasury. This silver..." 。The elderly woman rose and personally walked to a small box. She retrieved a small key from her sleeve pocket and opened the box, then took out a silver note from inside. 。After some thought, he gritted his teeth and took out another silver note, handing it to Jun Tao along with the previous one. 。outed, "Who's bullying whom What did you just say Who's bullying whom You shameless monster, stop making a fuss first, with no face left and still so much to say."Then someone, so cooperative, replied...
