Chapter 581 Something Big is Going to Happen

ice merchant clutching a booklet in his hand. He scribbled notes and called out: "Sister Ye Si sends fine rice one dou to Madam! Sister Ye Si sends coarse rice one sheng to Second Madam!"The Xiao fami...Everyone felt that there must be something going on, but they couldn't figure out what it was. No one even considered the possibility that it had something to do with the relationship between the doctor and his wife.

After all, in twenty years of marriage, Ye Jianzhi had cultivated a perfect image in the eyes of the public. To the point that in Lin'an City, no one would ever suspect what he was really like. Even soldiers returning from the border, like Lü Wei, only had a superficial understanding of the Great General. 。Ye Qingmei led Ye Wenyan to their family's table and was about to ask the Sixth Prince what he had just said to her, when she saw a familiar person walking towards them. They arrived in front of Ye Wenyan, bowed, and greeted, "Sister Wenyan," 。Ye Wen was stunned for a moment, only feeling that this person looked familiar, but it wasn't someone he recognized. 。She immediately searched her mind for the original owner's memories and recognized him at once—Ning Guohou Xiao Fang's son, Xiao Zi Ming. 。 The only son of Duke Ningguo, Xiao Ziming naturally became the heir apparent who would inherit the title in the future. 。Ye Wen remembered that the original owner had met this prince a few times when she was young. Back then, Duke Ningguo wasn't Duke Ningguo yet, and the old marquis was still alive! Night Scene returned to Kyoto often with Xiao Fang, and they would get together sometimes. Sometimes, the original owner would be brought along, and Xiao Fang would bring Xiao Zi Ming. 。But that was many years ago. Later, the original owner set her heart on marrying the Sixth Prince, and Ye Xingui never took her to see the Xiao family father and son again. 。But she didn't know that Xiao Zi Ming had come to speak with her today, and for what reason. 。She rose to return his greeting, saying, "Greetings, Young Master Xiao." 。Then he sat back down. 。When Xiao Ziming saw her sit down, calm and composed, he was taken aback for a moment. After a while, he said, "Sister Yan, you're still the same as before. I remember when we first met, you asked me a few questions and then sat down. Uncle Ye even said that you were disrespectful." 。At that time, I said that Yan Mei's personality was the best, and I really liked her. 。“Oh…” 。Xiao Ziming said again, “My mother told me to bring a message to Sister Yan, saying that the grandmother’s courtyard at home has been tidied up. Not only has the wall between it and the Ningguo Duke's Mansion been raised, but two more courtyards have also been expanded on the sides. This way, they can be connected by a small alley>>> 。Mother had another door opened in the direction of the adjacent alleyway, and now that place has become a small manor. It's convenient for Sister Yan to do whatever she wants. 。You could also find another deed from the government, and completely separate that small manor house from the Ningguo Duke's Mansion. 。With your current status, these are nothing to worry about. The government will definitely be able to handle it. 。" Ye Wenyan only remembered now that Old Madam Xiao's courtyard had already been mortgaged to Xiao Shubi. But she wanted a courtyard with justification, and Lady Ningguo added two more courtyards, which was considered a favor from her husband. 。This is equivalent to drawing land from the Duke of Ningguo's estate. She and the Duke of Ningguo's mansion didn't have much of a relationship, it wasn't necessary to owe this person such a favor. 。So she shook her head and told Xiao Ziming, “I appreciate Madam Ning’s kindness, but it’s too heavy a favor for me to bear.” 。Please tell the Young Master to go back and tell Lady Ning that I can take Mrs. Xiao's courtyard, but I really can't afford the extra two that are being built out. If Lady Ning insists on giving them, then set a price, and I will pay in silver. 。"

Sister Yan 。"Xiao Ziming sighed helplessly, "You really have to draw such clear lines between us Just a few courtyards, we don't even think much of them. What's the point of doing this We shouldn't be so distant from each other." 。" Night Wen smiled, and said nothing more. 。Xiao Ziming saw that she wasn't responding, and became a little anxious, instinctively taking half a step forward. "Miss Yan, I..." 。"Ye Feiyu stood up and stopped him, "Xiao Shizi, if you have nothing to do, please return to your seat."

Xiao Ziming frowned, unhappy, "I just want to talk to Sister Yan. Young Master, you don't have to be like this, do you We used to talk often before, and we recognized each other when we were very young. We've known each other for many years, and you could even say we were childhood sweethearts." 。But for some reason, Sister Yan has forgotten everything that happened before in the past few months. She ignores me and even calls me "Your Highness" with a strange distance. 。"Night Wenyan could only raise her head and look at him again, very seriously saying to him: “The phrase 'childhood sweethearts' is not well-used. Prince Xiao's words need to be carefully considered." 。Besides, I actually haven't forgotten about the past, nor have I ignored you. 。We've just never had the chance to talk much, nor the need to say much. 。Although we've known each other for many years, those were just things from when we were young. As I grew older, my father no longer took me to drink with Uncle Xiao. 。So, to be honest, I'm not very close with the Crown Prince. We haven't really spoken much at all. 。“How can we not be acquainted” Xiao Ziming was agitated, “The General once said that our two families are to be betrothed.” 。" Is that so" Ye Wenyan still smiled, "Your Highness don't take it too seriously. After all, that was just my father's immature idea. Later on, it turned out that he didn't actually get engaged to the Xiao family. This shows that he himself felt it was inappropriate..." 。Moreover, this betrothal thing, my father wasn't just thinking about the Xiao family. He had also mentioned it to the Fourth Prince. 。But that's nothing compared to my situation. My grandfather has always made all the decisions for me, and I have always obeyed him from a young age. 。"

When she mentioned General Ye Lao, Xiao Ziming nodded. “Yes, you only listen to General Lao’s words. Your marriage to Sixth Prince was proposed by General Lao to the previous emperor.”

But Your Highness almost killed you, so I ask, is this marriage the old General arranged for you, right or wrong" He didn't want to say anything more. A deep melancholy clouded his face. He glanced at the altar of wine on the table, picked it up and drank a few mouthfuls, then bowed to Ye Wenyan silently before walking away. 。Xiao Zimin's appearance was just a small episode for Ye Wen, but this scene caught Ye Lianmian's eye and made her have some inappropriate thoughts. 。Nobody noticed that the second Miss Ye narrowed her eyes and quietly left the banquet… "Yan'er" 。 。I'm just asking what the Sixth Prince said to you before, and I also quietly reminded her, "You are now the fiancee of the Emperor. You should be more careful about your dealings with the Sixth Prince." 。We may not say anything, but it's inevitable that outsiders will talk. 。And, Ai'er, I don't know why your relationship with him has become so much better. What he did before was unforgivable in the eyes of Mother and us. 。" Ye Wen nodded, "Sister, I understand what you mean. That incident is also unforgivable to me, so I've never even thought about forgiving him." 。Sometimes, things happen by chance. What we see on the surface may not always be the truth. 。This matter, I can't tell you in detail right now, but please sister believe me, what you refuse to forget, I am also remembering at all times. 。We have our grievances and the guilty parties are clear. Sooner or later, we will get back at all those who wronged us. 。"Ye Qingmei sighed softly, "Yaner, I definitely believe in you. Whatever happens, I will always be on your side." 。I'm just afraid that my mother will overthink things, so I wanted to remind you. 。After all, the hatred in a mother's heart runs deeper than ours. 。I know 。She patted Ye Qingmei's hand and said, “Don’t worry, there will be an explanation for this. Those responsible will take responsibility. I'll give your mother a chance to get her revenge.” 。As for what Sixth Lord just told me... elder sister, Sixth Lord said he brought Ye Hongzhuang with him today. He left her in the carriage outside the gate and will bring her in later after the people from the Second House return and hand her over to us. 。Sister, look, didn't they just bring all our enemies right to us One by one, none of them can escape. 。" Night Qingmei, hearing her say this, subconsciously looked out the mansion gate, "Speaking of which, how come the second family hasn't returned yet Isn't the temple they went to farther than Mother's Mother has been back for so long, why haven't they shown their faces" "They should be back soon" 。Ye Wen didn't seem worried. He lifted his cup of clear tea and took two sips, then glanced at Mu Shi who was talking to Lü Wei. 。Today, Mu was unlike his usual self. While he appeared somewhat sorrowful when speaking to the General's memorial tablet, for the rest of the time, he acted like a detached observer, almost like someone who had simply come to help arrange the banquet. He was clear-headed and calm, acting with composure and grace. 。Looking at Old Madam again, she was just like a big rat, her eyes constantly scanning the crowd. When she spotted someone she knew, she would try to go talk to them, but unfortunately, no one paid her any attention. 。Even the subordinates of several veteran generals who came here only managed to bow and greet her respectfully. There was no more than that, not even a single extra word they were willing to say to her. 。 "Yan'er, what are your plans for today" Ye Qingmei whispered to Ye Wenyan, taking her arm. Ye Wenyan shook her head. "Actually, I don't have many plans. Elder sister, you should ask Mother, perhaps she has some plans." 。She looked at Mu again, the more she looked, the more she felt that Mu today was like conducting some kind of ceremony, like saying goodbye. 。Night Qingmei also said, “I’m worried too. Mother seemed off today. At first I thought that maybe she had come to terms with things during the time she spent living in the temple, but later I felt like it wasn't that she had come to terms with things, but..." But what She couldn't say it. She just felt that her mother was completely different from before, especially when talking about her late husband, she didn't seem as close anymore. 。Even Mother today hasn't called herself Mrs. Ye again. She heard her speaking to others several times, and found that when she met elders, she would call herself Qianqiu 。When meeting peers, they all claim to be members of the Mu family. 。This made her feel uneasy and worried. 。I always feel like something big is going to happen, but what exactly > 。Besides, if he were to truly master it, in the future it would also be a help to his younger sister and could be used as a sword. 。Training in martial arts in the martial world and training in a mi...
