Chapter 202 Who Raises Whom
Ye Qingmei also went on this trip. The injury on her leg was not serious. Her tendons and bones were fine. It was only a skin injury that did not affect her walking.
She hadn't been out for some fresh air for many days, and was really curious about what the old lady wanted them to do over there.
Mu didn't stop her either. She just thought that everyone was there, including Ye Wenyan, so no matter how much the old lady made a fuss, it wouldn't cause much trouble.
The temporary residence of the old lady in the East Courtyard had no name, and the yard was not big. There was only one main house and one wing room.
Mu recognized this place. It was the study room she had wanted to keep for herself. At that time, she thought that the children would grow up, those who should get married would get married, and those who should get married would get married. By then, she would not have too much to do and could have some free time to read books and practice martial arts.
Unfortunately, before the courtyard was decorated, her husband fell ill and never recovered. She was also driven to the west courtyard, and this place became a permanent regret. I didn't expect that it was now occupied by the old lady, which makes me angry just thinking about it.
Mrs. Mu had an unhappy look on her face the moment she entered the yard. After coming in, she just bowed to the old lady without calling her mother or even saying a greeting. After bowing, she went to find a place to sit down.
Ye Wenyan was naturally on the same side as the Mu family. Only Ye Qingmei was the most honest. She bowed properly and said, "Greetings to grandma." Then she kept kneeling and half-squatting there. She didn't dare to get up unless the old lady called her.
Mu looked over and said directly, "Qingmei, why don't you come over and sit down? What are you doing there?"
Fortunately, Ye Qingmei knew to listen to her mother. She immediately stood up and sat obediently next to Ye Wenyan.
The old lady looked at this scene and repeatedly persuaded herself not to get angry. Only then did she suppress her anger.
Because her foot was hit by a stone lion last night, the old lady's left foot was wrapped like a meat dumpling, but she still looked energetic, so it seemed that her bones were not injured.
Ye Lianmian, who was standing next to her, was not feeling well. Although his muscles and bones were fine and his spirits were good after taking the pills that Ye Wenyan had made with his spiritual power, his external injuries were still there. There were obvious abrasions on his face and neck, some of which were scabby and some of which were festering, which looked particularly ugly.
But compared to those people in the inner city who took pills from the Li Family Clinic, Ye Lianmian was still lucky. Because the pills she took were completely transformed by Ye Wenyan's spiritual power, and even though she only took one, she was still able to recover completely. Unlike the officials in the inner city, who received the weak spiritual power from the bird of knowledge on the petals, and only one petal was placed in a porcelain bottle, it was fine if there was a doctor to take care of the follow-up treatment. If there was no doctor to treat them, the injuries and illness would recur after seven or eight days.
Ye Wenyan thought about these things and counted the days. It would probably be one or two days before those people's injuries relapsed.
Everyone was here today, not only the whole family of the eldest wife was here, but also Ye Jingsheng and his wife, Aunt Liu, and even Xichun was here. Ye Feiyu arrived earlier, and was now quietly asking Ye Qingmei if her leg was feeling better and if it still hurt. Ye Feizhou, on the other hand, was kneeling in the hall, his head lowered, not saying a word.
He was wearing all black today, and his waist was tied tight, which made his waist look even thinner. Ye Wenyan pinched her waist with both hands, and felt that this second brother's waist was thinner than hers, which was simply unfair. It would be fine if the boy had a girlish appearance, but he also had such a thin waist. Instead of being jealous of his beauty, the women in Lin'an City should be jealous of the figure of the second young master of the Ye family.
The old lady was very dignified today. Although she had an injury on her foot, it did not affect her sitting upright at all, nor did it affect her well-managed facial expression.
Seeing that everyone had sat down and no one took the initiative to cause trouble with her, she slowly said: "Well, this looks like a home, this looks like the backyard of a first-rank general." Then she looked at Ye Qingmei and asked: "How is Qingmei's injury? Have you seen a doctor? What did the doctor say?" There was also a bit of kindness in her words, which made people listen to her. Ye Qingmei was quite moved. She was always kind and thought that her grandmother might have come to her senses after this disaster and knew how to love her grandchildren at home, so she took the initiative to care about her injuries. So she quickly replied: "I saw a doctor, and the doctor said it's okay, the muscles and bones are fine, and even the external injuries can be healed and there will be no scars."
The old lady, who had originally looked kind and amiable, sighed and said, "Don't hold out too much hope. Your grandfather was in the battlefield and had many wounds on his body. The imperial physician said that he would be fine after some rest, but in the end, he still had scars all over his body. Your leg is definitely incurable, so don't be too optimistic."
The grandparent-grandchild bond that Ye Qingmei had finally built up was instantly extinguished. Madam Mu was also fed up with the old lady talking like this, so she retorted at that moment: "Don't worry about Qingmei's affairs, old lady. Besides, it was Yan'er who treated her leg personally, and the medicine she used was also made by Yan'er herself, which is naturally better than the medicine used by the imperial physician in the palace. If Yan'er said it can be cured, then it must be cured."
"Yes." The old lady nodded. "If you say it's possible, then it's possible! It's a pity for your grandfather. If he had known earlier that the fourth lady had this ability, your grandfather would have suffered less in the past few decades!"
Ye Wenyan was so angry that she laughed, "These decades? I'm only fifteen years old. Even if I started learning medicine when I was born, it's only fifteen years. Why is the old lady blaming me for decades? Besides, whether grandpa is in good health or not, whether his life is happy or not, that's your fault as his wife, old lady. Who are you going to blame? How much less suffering would he have suffered? If you had cared more about him, he wouldn't have suffered so much. If you had given him good medicine when he was seriously ill, he wouldn't have died so early."
The old lady's face became darker and darker. She hated to hear Ye Wenyan mention this matter the most. She still trembled with fear when she thought of the words he said last night that he would send her to hell and dig up her body and whip it.
So she wanted to get around this question, but how to get around it? Should she force it?
Fortunately, Ye Lianmian stepped forward and saved her. Then Ye Lianmian said, "Since you have the ability to leave no scars on people, treat me as well. The scratches on my face haven't healed for a while. I don't know what medicine you stuffed into my mouth that day, it doesn't work at all!"
In order to prevent Ye Wenyan from blocking her mouth and not treating her, Ye Lianmian immediately said, "Don't use the same trick you used to deal with the fifth-rank official last night to deal with me. You can say that he is committing a crime of insubordination when he comes to our house, but that won't work with me! I have the same status as you, and I am also the legitimate daughter of a first-rank general's mansion. I am also your sister, so it is only natural for you to treat my injuries!"
Ye Wenyan really annoyed this second sister. She was annoyed by seeing or hearing such a person who was always looking for trouble. But this was Mu's daughter. It would be fine if Mu was not around, but now she was sitting next to her, so she had to be careful no matter what she said or did.
But being considerate of her doesn't mean she should just swallow her anger. There are some things that need to be said.
So she told Ye Lianmian: "There are not so many things that are taken for granted in the world. I told you when I gave you the medicine that I did you a favor only because you are my mother's daughter. But your status is only enough to exchange for one pill of mine. You won't have the face to give me more. As for the external injuries, just take care of them slowly. My elder sister is taking care of them slowly. How can you be more noble than anyone else?"
"But you said she wouldn't have any scars! But the doctor who examined me said I would definitely have scars on my face!"
"That's your own business. The doctor you found is not as good as me. Who can you blame?"
"So I asked you to heal me!"
"I won't treat you." She leaned back in her chair, not wanting to care about Ye Lianmian anymore. She just wondered why Ye Feizhou had been kneeling all the time. Did he offend the old lady in any way? This old lady was really good at punishing her own child.
Ye Lianmian was already so angry that he almost couldn't bear it anymore. Seeing that he couldn't make it through with Ye Wenyan, he took out his anger on Mu - "Look at what a monster you gave birth to! Having a son and two daughters is not enough, you also want to give birth to this monster. Why are you so willing to give birth to a child? Do you still know what is shame? Do you have any shame!"
Ye Lianmian's expression became more and more ferocious, and because of this ferocious look, a scabbed wound was stretched open. Blood mixed with pus flowed down his cheek to his neck, and a faint stench could be smelled.
Mu was so angry that her face turned blue. She wanted to scold her, but she felt sorry for her injuries. She swallowed the words back and finally heard Ye Qingmei say, "Lian Mian, how can you talk like that? Apologize to your mother!"
Ye Lianmian cried out: "Why should I apologize? I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize to her?"
Ye Wenyan sighed softly and stopped Ye Qingmei who wanted to speak again: "Don't be angry, big sister, this kind of thing has happened more than once or twice, just get used to it, after all, whoever raised you will resemble you."
The old lady was furious. How did this come to her again? It was really infuriating.
But she didn't want to quarrel with Ye Wenyan today. There were important things to do today. Even if she didn't flatter Ye Wenyan, she couldn't make him angry. So she scolded Ye Lianmian: "Shut up! You rude thing! She's your mother. Who taught you to say that about your mother? I never taught you to say that. Don't embarrass me!"
Ye Lianmian didn't listen to her mother, but listened to her grandmother. As soon as the old lady got angry, she immediately fell silent.
Seeing this, Mrs. Mu felt even more sad. Ye Wenyan reminded the old lady, "Grandma, you should be nicer to your second granddaughter. After all, she got all these injuries because she was your scapegoat. If it weren't for her, you would be injured now. I wouldn't even be able to give you the pills."
The old lady had been enduring since the eldest wife's family entered the courtyard, and now she was finally unable to bear it any longer...
