Chapter 691: The Butler

this..." 。Xiao's two eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, her excited mood gradually subsided, and her rationality returned. 。 Yes, it was Xichun who forced him. Otherwise, even with all his fo...That voice was too familiar. Ye Wenyan stopped in his tracks at that moment.

Tang saw the situation and quickly said: "Since she returned to the Chiang family, she hasn't had a single day of peace. She always wants to act like the mistress of the house at the Chiang family, but who would listen to her! Fourth Miss, let's go back to our residence to settle down first. It's raining heavily outside, and we can't even light candles. If we delay any longer, it will get even darker." 。“

Yè Wēn Yán didn't listen to her. Not only did he not go to his residence first, but he even walked a few steps closer to the courtyard gate. Soon, he heard the voice of a maidservant: "Old Madam, although we are no longer valuable, we are at least stronger than you, aren't we What are you You were divorced and sent back to your natal family. You are a disgrace to our family. How dare you think this is your home If you really consider this place your home, you should wholeheartedly work for the family, and diligently act as the mistress of this household in the capital city, instead of being driven out by others.” 。It's really funny that someone so old can still be divorced. Going out would make people laugh their heads off. 。That's because our old man is kind-hearted and still remembers your siblings' affection. That's why you can continue living at your parents' home. 。Otherwise, with your status, you should be sent to the temple to fend for yourself. 。" What are you Say that again!" "Say it again, and I will. People like you belong in a temple, not back at the Chiang family to cause trouble." 。You are a walking disaster, ever since you came back, nothing good has happened to the Chiang family. Even Xiushan County has been plagued with misfortune. 。Now, outside everyone is dying. All the dead bodies are thrown to the front of Chiang's house. The master is so scared that he fell ill. Every single person in the household lives in fear. This is all your bad luck bringing. 。"Grandmother, could it be that your enemy has come seeking revenge" This maidservant's words did make Ye Wenyan ponder for a moment. Could it really be the grandmother's enemy The incidents in Xiushan County seemed to have started after the grandmother returned, and considering the fact that a body was dumped at Jiang Mansion, it was very possible that this had something to do with her. 。Could it be that the old woman offended someone powerful enough to bring down the entire Xiushan County In her time in the capital, who would have been her biggest enemy Could this be a setup, an attempt to frame her

It seemed Shi Lifeng had also considered this possibility, as his gaze shifted towards her.

Night Wen shook his head, indicating that he couldn't figure it out either. 。"Let's go!" she said to Mr. Tang, then turned and walked out of the old woman's courtyard. 。We hadn't even taken two steps when we heard footsteps coming from behind, seeming very hurried. 。She turned her head and saw a man wearing a raincoat walking quickly towards them. When he got to their side, he seemed startled for a moment, then saw Mrs. Tang and immediately bowed: "It turns out to be the old madam, I heard that there was trouble here again, so I came to have a look." 。"

Mrs. Tang nodded, "Well, you go and see. Don't let her shout all night when she arrives." 。She's already out of line, making such a fuss will only attract trouble. She wants to die but we don't! Tell her to shut up right now or we'll tie her up and throw her out of the house. 。"The old slave understands, please rest assured, madam, I will handle it well." 。After finishing his words, the man bowed again and glanced at Ye Wenyan and the others before rushing into the courtyard. 。When he entered, Old Madam Ye was dragging a maid who was arguing with her out the door. The maid was being held by her hair and looked very embarrassed, but she was still stubbornly shouting: "An old woman who was divorced and returned to her natal family, you can only show off in front of servants. When you see our Mrs. Jiang, don't you have to lower your voice and flatter her You thought the people in the capital were so magnanimous, but I didn't expect you to be like this! No wonder Ye Family divorced you, who would want an old woman like you" 。"Slap!" Old Madam Ye slapped a hand across the face, and wanted to continue hitting, but the man who had just entered the courtyard grabbed her raised hand. 。Then the man roared, “Enough! Stop!” Elder Madam Ye turned to him, “A steward, a servant too, dares to discipline me” Only then did Ye Wenyan realize that the man was the steward of the Jiang Mansion. 。Tang Shi was also saying to her: "These days, the things happening outside have made everyone afraid. Those who are sick are scared even more. Your grandfather has been bedridden for some time. Both inside and outside the house are being managed by stewards." 。Oh well, I'm too lazy to deal with Jiang Xiu anymore. If she even insults the housekeeper today, then I guess we'll just have to throw her out. 。“

She hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked Ye Wenyan, "Are you really not going to take her back Will you still care about her Fourth Miss, if all you want is to teach her a lesson and will bring her back to the capital later, then I can't go too hard on her.” 。"Whatever you do with him, our Ye family definitely doesn't want him." 。But also don't throw it out too quickly, keep it for a few days and see. 。She paid no attention to Mr. Tang, because the courtyard was bustling with activity at this moment. 。After disciplining the old Mrs. Ye, the steward went to discipline the maidservant. He said to her: "Even if a master is not good, he is still your master. No matter how bad your master is, you, as a servant, absolutely cannot overstep him." 。I've told you this many times, but you won't listen. You keep arguing with the master again and again. Today, I can't tolerate it anymore. A maid like you will bring trouble to the Chiang family. 。"What does the steward mean by that Do you want to get rid of me Why would you want to get rid of me It's not just me who treats her this way, the master and mistress don't want to keep her either! She was a plague on the Jiang family, she brought disaster to Xiushan County!" 。"That's not our place to be slaves either. " 。"The steward gestured to Lady Ye to release her grasp on her hair, then added, 'Go and receive your punishment yourself. If you don't let me know you've gone, I will immediately throw you out of the mansion to fend for yourself.'" 。He arrived here and casually glanced out towards the yard, then said again, "You don't know anything about it." 。Of course, the more people in your family at this time, the better. That way, even if demons outside kill one by one, we have an extra chance to live longer. 。She stayed with us to protect us from bad luck, and I certainly don't want our home to be one person short at this time. 。The maidservant was very afraid of the steward. Upon hearing that she would be thrown out of the mansion, her face turned pale with fear. 。Hearing the housekeeper say we should have more people stay at home to ward off disaster, I felt like it made sense. 。What if this old woman was supposed to die tonight, but she's not at the manor Then it would be her turn to die! She can't die, she should still go and take her punishment. 。The maid ran out, slipping and sliding in the heavy rain. The steward scolded Madame Ye again. 。Old Madam Ye didn't make a fuss this time. She just remained silent after being reprimanded a few times, and resignedly returned to her room. 。But before going back to my room, I told the housekeeper: "I'm hungry, give me a proper dinner. Don't always feed me with congee and pickled vegetables. Those are for breakfast, at night we should have proper dishes." 。The steward let out a cold snort, said nothing, and even pushed her forcefully, shoving her into the back room before slamming the door shut. 。Then Madam Tang let out a cold snort, "Fourth Miss, you see, everyone is bothering her. We're being very kind to allow her to stay home." 。If she keeps making such a fuss, I'm afraid the Chiang family will really have no choice but to let her go. 。" Ye Wen didn't take her bait, just raised his lips and turned away. 。But in her heart, she had taken note of the steward from Jiang's household, because she was sharp-eyed and just as the old lady was being pushed into the room, she stumbled. The steward instinctively stepped forward to help, and when he did, he grasped the old lady's hand for a moment. 。Although it was just a brief touch, she still saw me in the dark rain. 。After walking for a while longer, we finally arrived at a courtyard. 。This courtyard is quite spacious. There are hills and flowing water inside, all decorated with great care. 。"This is the best courtyard in the mansion for entertaining guests. There are two main rooms and two side rooms. You can arrange your stay as you wish." 。Of course, it's best to stay in the main rooms because the side rooms are too damp when it rains. 。Someone will bring over some food and drinks in a little while. After you've eaten, please rest quickly. It's getting very late tonight. We can talk about anything tomorrow morning. 。ow the previous emperor had issued an imperial decree for our marriage. It was a done deal, a foregone conclusion. Why would you have the audacity to defy the imperial decree Why" She shook Li Xiao Ha...
