Chapter 444: Entering the Graveyard?
able to take off the mask and let us see the real him. 。"Go back!" she patted Ye Chulian, "Take Sui Xi in first, I'll stay here for a while." 。Now Ye Chu Lian listens to her very well. She does whate...There is one more piece of information, concerning the death of the general.
The Great General was poisoned to death. The poison was planted by Lady Jun herself in a corner of the Fu Lu Courtyard, and she then subtly signaled the two old masters to retrieve it. 。As for how the two old masters administered the poison after taking the medicine, Jun Tao didn't know. 。The old gentleman indeed kept his word and never mentioned the matter again, as if nothing had ever happened. 。Ye Wenyan didn't pay attention to what the maids around him were saying. He was too busy sifting through Jun Tao's memories, keeping the useful ones and discarding the rest. 。After picking and choosing, I came across a key point. 。Through this soul searching, the causes of death for the Old General and the Great General have been made clear. One was frightened to death by the Old Madam, and the other was poisoned to death by Ye Jian Sheng and Xiao Shu Bai. 。In the incident of General's poisoning, not only did the old madam incite and indulge, but she even provided the poison, and Jun Tao was involved in this process. The poison was delivered to Ye Jing Sheng through her hands. 。Even Jun Tao killed someone for this, a maid who had once served at the Fu Lu Courtyard. She was killed simply because the maid saw Jun Tao putting medicine in that corner and also saw Ye Jie Sheng come to collect it. 。The maid didn't think too deeply about it, only thinking that Jun Tao was seducing the second master and intended to report her. 。Jun Tao, afraid the matter would leak out, directly covered the maidservant's mouth and nose and threw her into a well. 。Technically speaking, things had become clear at this point. There was no need for her to provoke Xiao Shubic any further, nor did she need to use Xiao Shubic to find out anything more... 。The perpetrator has been identified, all that remains is to decide how they shall die. 。However, Jun Tao's mind still remembered one thing, something about Mu Qianqiu. 。The day before the General passed away, she went to visit her grandfather at the behest of Old Madam. 。Then, Xiao Shubei was seen cornering Mu Qianqiu in the secluded corner of Huayu Courtyard. He said a few words to her and then handed her a letter and a small box. 。Jun Tao didn't see what was inside the box, she only heard Xiao Shu Bai's words with that sentence: "Big brother is no longer just your husband, sister-in-law is still kept in the dark" Regarding this matter, Jun Tao only knew so much, and didn't think much about it. After returning, she didn't even tell her grandmother about it. 。Now that this matter had reached Ye Wen's mind, Xiao Shubi, who was originally useless, had a new purpose again. 。Therefore, the old lady had to get rid of Xiao Shuaibai. She couldn't just ignore this matter. 。"Miss 。Finally, she felt someone tugging at her arm. Ye Wenyan came back to her senses and saw Zhuai looking at her with worry. 。"Miss, what's the matter Are you thinking about something or are you feeling unwell" Ye Wenyan took a deep breath and replied, "I'm just thinking." 。"
Would you like me to help Miss think together"
She shook her head, "No need for now, I'll tell you when I need it." >>> 。After finishing, he said to the account book again, “The old Madam has a plan to get rid of Xiao Shubi on the tenth day after the new Madam enters the house. Keep an eye on her and don't let her succeed.” 。"
Jié Dù was startled, and immediately said: "Master, please rest assured, I will definitely keep an eye on " 。"How did you know" Jui'er didn't hesitate, asking directly. But Ji Nü couldn't ask such a question. 。Yè Wēn Yán pointed at Jun Tao, "She told me" 。"There's nothing more to say. Just tell Ji Duo, 'Take this woman to the Lin'an Prefecture yamen and tell them that she went crazy somehow. In her madness, she claimed she killed someone and threw herself into a well in the Fulu courtyard of a first-rank general's mansion. Please ask the magistrate to send someone to investigate.'" 。" He took his orders and left. Zhu'er was puzzled, "Did he really kill someone Can the words of a madman be trusted" Night Wen nodded, "You can trust him. Besides, whether or not he killed, we'll know by checking the well." 。Even if we retrieve the bodies, it wouldn't be of much use. The murderer is now a fool, and even if they were taken to be punished, it wouldn't hold much significance. 。“Why would that young lady go to all this trouble” "She's bored." 。She glanced at Zhuier, “I’m not busy, am I”
Zhuier stuck out her tongue, “The maidservant understands, young mistress just can't stand the sight of Fulu Courtyard.” 。Ye Wen was bombarded with thoughts at the moment and had no intention of chatting idly with the maid. He simply waved his hand and walked outside alone. 。Zhui'er wanted to follow, but Ji Rong stopped her, "Don't follow, Miss definitely wants to be alone. Let's not bother her." 。Why don't we go to Fulu Courtyard first and wait When the officials arrive, Miss will definitely want to see the excitement. 。The news that Jun Tao had been captured by Ji Du spread throughout the entire First Rank General's Mansion very quickly. This event caused many people to fall into panic and fear, and even Xiao Shu Bai regretted letting Ye Hong Zhuang return. 。Had she known about the trouble at Old Madam's place, she would have insisted on keeping Ye Hongzhuang in Su Wangfu. After all, with the title of Princess Consort of Su, even if someone held a grudge against the Ye family, it wouldn't reach her. 。It's too late to say anything now. 。Soon, an official arrived at the door. It was the magistrate Chi Hongfang himself who had come. 。At that time, when the night view was at its most magnificent, she was still standing in the front yard. She no longer cared how the lanterns were hung or how the banquet dishes were arranged. All she could think about was how Night Wenyan would handle this matter. 。Until Chi Hong came to his door, he finally understood: Ye Wen had reported him to the authorities! Nightingale thought about countless possibilities in her mind, from beheading and public display to raiding the house and exterminating the clan, even the 108 kinds of torture from the Ministry of Justice, she had already gone through them all in her heart, and then she found that none of them she could accept 。He didn't want to die yet. He hadn't brought Xue Qiao and Wu Shuang into the household, and he hadn't seen the child in Xue Qiao's belly. How could he dieIn the blink of an eye, Ye Wan Sheng's cold sweat flowed down his face. Coincidentally, Xiao Shu Bai also arrived at the front courtyard. He glanced at Chi Hong Fang and began to laugh loudly, then pointed at Ye Wan Sheng and said, "I heard that Lord went to the yamen yesterday and put the household registers of those two despicable people outside under the Ye family..." 。You say you're in such a hurry Why not wait until after the marriage and when he's been formally welcomed into the family, before going through all these ceremonies 。"This is great, we'll all die together, including your illegitimate child. None of us will live!"
Ye Ming's brain exploded with a loud bang. That's right! He had registered both Chang Xue Qiao and Ye Wushuang's household registrations under the Night family. Even though they hadn't moved in yet, legally speaking, they were part of the Night family – his concubine and legitimate daughter. 。If you commit family annihilation, none of you will escape. 。The night scene was so beautiful that my intestines turned green with envy, and I even shed tears out of anxiety. 。The tall and strong man wept in front of the servants in the manor, as well as the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture and all the officials. The more he cried, the more heartbroken he became, and finally he sat on the ground and wailed loudly. 。Chi Hongfang couldn't help but laugh, "Your Ye family is really something. You've done so many bad things, how come you all start crying the moment you see me I say, Master Ye Er, you were once a general, shouldn't you be more composed" 。"Alright, stop crying. I'm here to investigate a case today. It seems there was a murder at Fulu Courtyard, and the Second Master brought me here personally, or did you send someone else"Night Ye Sheng was still crying, not understanding what Chi Hongfang was saying at all. 。Instead, Xiao Shu Bai understood. At the same time, he was inwardly surprised, thought for a moment, and opened his mouth to ask: "Lord Prefect's meaning is that our old Madam... killed someone"
Ye Xing Sheng finally stopped crying, stood up her ears and listened carefully, only to hear Chi Hong Fang said: "Oh, the old Madam didn't kill anyone, it was her maid, the one called Shen Jun Tao, she killed someone, and sank them in a well." 。This manor brought people over today to search the well, which can be considered removing a potential threat for the Ye family. 。You guys are saying, such a big thing and the family doesn't even know about it A dead person soaking in the well in the backyard is really bad luck! Surely there are servants who still go there to draw water Ugh, just thinking about it makes me sick. 。"It's truly disgusting. Xiao Shubi vomited right then and there because she remembered how every day, she had to go to Fulu Courtyard for morning and evening worship. The servants would always offer them tea, which she always drank." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。The second madam was vomiting non-stop, while the second master seemed to have regained his spirits. 。As soon as he heard that the officials weren't here to handle the two generals' case, he instantly came back to life. He jumped right up from the ground and, leading Chi Hongfang, went straight to the Fulu Courtyard. 。Chi Hongfang today could be considered to have opened his eyes. He watched the two old masters cry in the front yard and then went to Fulu Courtyard to watch the old madam cry. 。He just couldn't figure it out. When did the family change their etiquette this night Was the highest standard of reception to greet people with tears The old matriarch cried more vividly than the night scene, crying until she was in full bloom. She cried and sang at the same time, singing mournful tunes, not this one died or that one died, finally she even sang out the dirges, making Chi Hongfang think he had entered a cemetery. 。The following officials were also dumbfounded, but thankfully they knew how to work. One by one, without waiting for the Magistrate's orders, they went straight to the backyard. 。Within no time at all, they returned to the main hall of Fulu Temple carrying a bloated corpse. 。Hongchi Fang felt that at this moment, it was really a bit of a sorrowful sight, after all, there was a corpse here. 。Then he said: "Madam, shed a few tears for her. She served you after all. It's a pity she died like this." 。If you cry a few times, she'll hear it downstairs and be grateful in her heart. She won't have to come back to find you in the middle of the night. 。It's also best to burn some paper money to comfort the departed soul. 。By the way, don't use that well in the backyard anymore. Even if you want to dig a new one, keep it far away from there. 。“
He kept talking as he looked around the room, his eyes rolling back and forth. He seemed to be thinking about something. He walked up to the old madam and said, “That maid named Jun Tao won’t be coming back. She committed murder, and this manor can only have her executed.” 。But she was at least the old mistress's maid, so after chopping her up, the body would still be sent back to the general's mansion. 。The old lady shouldn't be too sad, sadness is useless. It's better to use that time to reflect on herself during this incident. 。Remember well what this mansion has said—murder is met with retribution. Whether you are a noble from the inner city or a servant bound to our service, if your hands hold a life taken, this mansion will appear before you sooner or later!guests were no longer sitting in their original places and had divided into two groups. 。One group is downstairs, and one group is upstairs. They seem to be opposing each other, but they also seem uns...
