Chapter 490: Please Begin Your Performance
ei Zhou in astonishment, "How did you know""Just, just what I heard. Are you going or not""Go." Ye Wenyan had no objections. "Eating mutton can make you feel warm, which suits me." After speaking, she...“Ye Wen, what are you doing”A woman’s voice suddenly came, laced with fear and hysteria, as if tearing open a gash in the silent night. The once peaceful lakeside immediately became lively. 。Ye Wen's hand was still reaching out to the lake surface, even though she knew she was using magic to save someone, from the perspective of bystanders, it looked more like pushing someone in. 。Especially since the direction of her outstretched hand was exactly where the child had fallen into the water, this was a textbook example of "covering up with silver". 。A group of people bustled into the garden, all of them guests who had been attending the banquet in the hall. 。Men, women, old and young, as if foreseeing something, all ran towards the lake. 。
All the little maids were astonished. "So they followed us out of the banquet hall right after we left Otherwise, how could it have happened so quickly! How did they know something would happen by the lake Miss, I told you something was wrong with this, didn't I It really was wrong."
" You're right," Ye Wen nodded. "Your analysis makes sense." 。She let her hand fall and didn't rush to attend to the child. After all, she had already cast a water-repelling spell on him, so the child could sleep soundly in her protective shield. 。As for these grown-ups, ha ha, let their performance begin! The woman who had been shouting a moment ago rushed over immediately, grabbing hold of Ye Wenyan. Her eyes were bloodshot as she asked, "Did you see a child, five or six years old, a boy..." 。What did you do to him Talk! What did you do to him” The woman’s hands were trembling, Ye Wen could see the anger and anxiety in her eyes. 。Then, pointing to the water, "A little boy just fell in. I don't know if that's the one you were talking about." 。“ The woman, without a word, turned and was about to jump into the lake. 。A woman in the crowd shouted, "Auntie Fang, you can't swim!" But Auntie Fang ignored her and jumped into the lake without hesitation, swimming desperately toward the center where the whirlpool was. 。On the bank, servants from the Princess Mansion lit many lanterns, illuminating the scene. The old woman stood on the bank, stamping her feet and sighing. "Aunt Fang, you are so foolish! Jumping in like this will surely result in your death. The young master is just a illegitimate son; if he dies, it's no big deal. Is it worth sacrificing yourself"Night Wenyan glanced at the old woman and heard her continue, "Look at yourself, you're about to drown too Aunt, don't blame me for being heartless. Even with my old bones, I can't bear to go down there and risk my life! The young master is a bastard son, and you are just an aunt. There are so many aunts in the mansion; will your death or life matter much to the master" 。"
Ye Wenyan gave Zhu'er a wink, and Zhu'er immediately understood. She raised her foot and kicked the old woman's butt, sending her straight into the lake. " 。 That midwife was still talking when suddenly she fell into the water with a splash. She gasped for air, her lungs nearly filled with water, and sank straight to the bottom. 。The onlookers were shocked, "Miss Ye Si, you are openly committing murder!" Princess Quan Qianluo immediately ordered her guards, "Take the murderer down at once!"The guards of the Princess Mansion swarmed forward, but two voices shouted in unison, "I'll see who dares!"The ethereal beauty and gentle demeanor struck again, leaping into the air before Ye Wenyan. With a turn, a folding fan and a long sword were simultaneously thrust out, facing the guards of Princess Quan’s mansion. 。“You are acting as if the king is dead, aren't you” one of them said.Another added, "Whether Miss Ye Si is black or white is none of your concern. Put away your weapons and back off!"The guards looked at each other, torn between their allegiance to the Crown Princess and the Fourth and Sixth Princes for a long time, but ultimately chose to defer to both princes. 。Quan Qianluo watched them retreat one after another, and couldn't help but rage: "Ye Wen acts so brazenly with his violence, why do the two of you still defend him Are your eyes blind or your hearts"
Underneath the lake water, the old woman struggled for a while before gradually falling silent. 。But Mistress Na Fang, with clumsy movements, swam to the middle of the lake. She didn't sink, but she couldn't touch her son underwater either. 。Ye Wen held his incantation, keeping Fang's concubine alive, but secretly increased the weight on the old woman, causing her to sink to the bottom and never come up again. 。She heard Aunt Fang calling the child's nickname again and again: "Chen'er, Chen'er!" At the same time, she repeatedly asked: "Ye Wenyan, why did you push my son The one who insulted your father was Madam Big, what does it have to do with us"
She didn't understand what this meant. The reason she intervened was because she saw a hint of something in Aunt Fang's eyes. 。This matter, Aunt Fang doesn't know about. Regardless of what dirty dealings are going on behind the scenes, Aunt Fang wasn't involved. 。She is just a woman who has lost her child, she is just anxious to find her own child. 。Perhaps it was due to what others had said, or maybe the misunderstanding arose from her gesture of extending her hand. Therefore, I asked her what she had done. 。In this whole affair, Aunt Fang is just like her, a victim. 。The Crown Princess was still there, pressing the issue, and questioning both Princes. 。But Quan Qing and Yin Qing, as if they had rehearsed it beforehand, remained silent. They stood before Ye Wenyan, one holding a fan, the other a sword, silently expressing their stance of protection. 。Soon, Jiang Wanting and Chi Feifei also squeezed over. The two of them stood on either side of Ye Wenyan, listening to Chi Feifei whisper: "The child who fell into the water is the illegitimate son of Feng's family, a fifth-rank official of the Ministry of Works. That official is kneeling at your front door right now. The head mistress of their family was involved in insulting the general." 。This aunt arrived later than me and WanTing, so she didn't make it to the kneeling ceremony at the General's Mansion. However, she did bring her children into the palace to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday. 。" And then Jiang Wanting continued, “The main wife and concubine at their house have always been at odds. They fight even at home." 。especially the one in the water, because she had a son, she looked down on the main wife who couldn't have children. 。The two of them weren't exactly friends, but they were far from enemies either. That's why she dared to bring her child into the banquet hall. She felt like she and the mistress of the house weren't on the same side at all, so if anyone had to be blamed, it wasn't her. 。"Right after you left, a maid came in to speak with the madam. Upon hearing her words, the madam panicked and got up to leave. " 。Then their housekeeper was also interesting. No matter what the mistress wanted to do, she first knelt down and loudly told the Princess that her family had lost their young master. He had originally gone to play by the lake, but he disappeared while running around and begged the princess to help find him. 。"Then the princess said, 'It's so dark tonight, don't fall into the lake or be harmed by someone.'" 。Let's all go look together! If we find it, there will surely be a big reward at home! Lady Fang was already in a panic at that time and everyone had run out, so naturally they didn't hear what the people behind them were saying. 。In short, the princess listened to the maid's words and, under the banner of not being able to let a human life be disregarded, led everyone here. 。" They talked back and forth, recounting the events. Chi Fei Fei also said: "You have a grudge against them, and now the doctor and his wife are kneeling at your doorstep! So this matter could easily be interpreted as you seeking revenge. Making them kneel isn't enough, you even want to kill their son!" 。Wenyan, you need to find a way, or else you'll have no defense. 。"Don't argue!" Quan Qingyin's voice came, the person didn't turn back but said with unusual firmness, "Even if you killed them, it's alright. This king stands here, no one dares to touch you." 。" Jiang Wanting heard this and shrank her neck, muttering softly: "Did the Sixth Prince get possessed by a ghost" Everyone thought the Sixth Prince was possessed by a ghost. To reiterate what happened earlier The bride was sent to the door, but you didn't want her, and you even married her cousin." 。Have you finally realized Do you know that you're going towards Ye Wenyan now Knowing that Ye Wenyan is fine What's wrong with your brain How could Empress Li, such a shrewd person, give birth to such a thing
Quan Qingyin silently bore the burden and resolutely continued to protect Ye Wenyan, even going so far as to tell the Princess: "Even if she slaughtered this entire Princess's mansion right now, I would still stand by her side"
"
Qian Luo's strange feeling came again, she now felt that this sixth younger brother was problematic, and even wanted to find an opportunity to enter the palace to see Empress Li, to see if she could find out some news " 。But right now, there wasn't time to think too much. Aunt Fang was still soaking in the water, and kept asking Ye Wen questions aloud. 。She looked around and her eyes immediately landed on Li Yanran's face — "What do you all think, how should we handle today's events"
Everyone realized that the Grand Princess had learned to be clever. She wasn't going solo against Ye Wenyan anymore, and she had started passing notes to others now.
Well, then they'll have to make some choices. 。So, some people lowered their heads and chose not to participate in this matter, with no one helping anyone. 。Another group of people shared what they had witnessed: "I didn't see the process of Miss Ye Si pushing someone, but she did make the action of pushing someone. Young Master Feng from the Feng family also did fall into the lake." 。Moreover, with so many of us coming together, at that time there were only the mistress and her maidservant of Ye Si Miss besides us by the lake. 。“ Another group of people don't believe that Ye Wenyin would push someone, saying, "Miss Ye Si doesn't have any motive to kill a child!" Li Yanran finally spoke up: "How could there be none Didn't Madam Feng insult General Ye at the gate of the mansion" Chi Feifei snorted, "See, it came just as I said." 。“
After Li Yanran's reminder, the others also reacted, didn't they Ye Wenyan has a grudge with the Feng family! And it's a deep one. >>> 。So she had every motive to harm the Feng family's children. 。At this time, Ye Wushuang who was following Li Yanran suddenly burst into tears. 。She cried a little too hard, her voice was really loud, it startled Ye Wenyan and even Zhuier jumped. 。
Only seeing Ye Wushuang cried and looked at Ye Wenyan, that feeling was like an old mother looking at her unfilial child, full of eyes hating iron for not becoming steel
Chi Feifei grinned, “This is going to be a performance! Just don’t know what play it will be.” 。Warm words, your family's new young lady is really amazing, her acting is so good. 。" Night Temperature said helplessly, spreading his hands, "Please begin your performance—." >nce that I realized you had been deceiving me since I was six years old. So, we need to settle the score all over again. 。" How do you want to settle this" Li Xiaohan stammered. Of course, I'll sett...
