Chapter 116 I dug up the Li family's ancestral grave
From being stopped at the palace gate to talking about Zhuier beating ten female guards to death, Lian Shi thought about it again and again, but in the end he didn't tell him that Zhuier vomited later.
After all, it was a very majestic experience, and vomiting would kind of ruin the mood.
After hearing the last part, Shi Liyuan asked her, "Is what Queen Mother Xigong said really useless?"
Ye Wenyan shook his head, "No! It's useful! Very useful! Although it's not really any evidence, it at least points me in a direction. At least it lets me know that my grandfather's death must be related to that old lady. Future investigations will be more targeted and not as chaotic as a headless fly."
"Then why did you tell the Queen Mother Xigong that it was useless?" "Nonsense! Of course I have to say it was useless in front of the Queen Mother Li. Do I have to say it was useful? And thank her for providing the clues? Then I have to treat her son's injuries? Why would I treat his injuries when I have nothing better to do?"
Shi Liyuan nodded repeatedly, "Ah Yan, I just like your unreasonable character."
She bowed to him and said, "Thank you, thank you. I am far inferior to you."
Although the words were good and Ye Wenyan returned victorious, Shi Liyuan still took it to heart that Empress Dowager Li openly sent ten female guards to surround and kill Ye Wenyan.
So he pondered for a while, then turned his hand and made a magic gesture.
She saw that the spell seemed extremely complicated, so she asked, "What spell are you pinching? Who are you pinching for?"
Shi Liyuan thought about it and frowned, "What's the name of the county? It's the ancestral home of Empress Dowager Xigong."
Lian Shi quickly replied, "Your Majesty, it is Li County. The Li family is from Li County, which is not far from Lin'an City, only about a hundred miles away. However, the Li family has now moved to Lin'an City, and only the side branches are left in Li County to guard the ancestral tomb."
Shi Liyuan glanced at him and said, "You talk too much." Then he said to Ye Wenyan, "It's for Li County."
She recalled the night when Shi Liyuan set fire to Prince Su's mansion, so she asked again, "Did you burn down Empress Dowager Li's hometown?"
Shi Liyuan shook his head, "Why burn her hometown? I dug up the Li family's ancestral grave."
Ye Wenyan: ...
Lian Shi: ...
Zhuier: ...
"Master Liyuan, you are really amazing. How did you come up with such a mean trick?"
"Do you still need to think about it?" Lord Emperor's arrogance came up again, "I have always been like this."
Lian Shi also followed suit: "Yes, it has always been like this, but in the past, there were few people who could give Lord Emperor a chance to show his talents. We have to thank the Fourth Miss for providing Lord Emperor with the opportunity, and thank the Queen Mother for her unremitting efforts. By the way, Lord Emperor, when Nanny Ji came last time, she brought Madam Ye's walking stick, saying that it was for burning fire in Yanhua Palace. But the wood of the walking stick is not very good. Not only can it not burn, but it also extinguished the original fire in our kitchen."
Shi Liyuan said to Lian Shi with a helpless look on his face: "If the cane can't burn, then go find something else, such as a table, chair, cabinet, etc. Do you really need me to teach you this little thing personally?"
Lian Shi immediately said, "This old servant is stupid. I will go to the Ye Mansion right now."
Lian Shi left, and the First-Rank General's Mansion welcomed a gloomy day. Because Lian Shi and the palace servants of Yanhua Palace almost emptied out Madam Ye's room, not only the tables, chairs and cabinets were moved, but even the bed where the old lady slept was disassembled and carried out.
The old lady knelt on the ground, trembling with fear, not daring to say a word, because Lian Shi represented Yanhua Palace, and if Lian Shi did this, then Yanhua Palace would do this. She really couldn't figure out how she had offended the emperor.
Until Lian Shi said: "A grandmother should act like a grandmother, otherwise, you will see retribution coming soon!"
The old lady's heart twitched. This was really what she feared. She was afraid that Ye Wenyan would be related to Yanhua Palace, but now it seems that the thing she was most worried about has happened. But she was still wondering, was it Yun Chen's face, or someone else's face?
In short, it is absolutely impossible that it is the direct favor of the Emperor. Ye Wenyan does not have that kind of blessing or good fortune.
Lian Shi was still talking. He was admonishing Madam Ye: "So people should be kind. Have you made things difficult for Madam recently?"
The sudden question made the old lady panic. So this person was not only in charge of Ye Wenyan, but also Mu Qianqiu?
"No, no, I would never dare to do that." She accepted her fate and just followed Lian Shi's words.
Lian Shi expressed satisfaction, "Well, it's good that you don't dare. You have to know who is the big king and who is the little king in this family."
The old lady felt so upset!
After finally getting the old man to die, shouldn't she be the queen of this family? How can she be said to be like the third grandson? Is it possible that she has to live under the will of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter in her own home? "
Seeing the old lady's unhappy expression, Ye Lianmian, who had been kneeling beside her, said something more and asked Lian Shi: "Why are you helping Ye Wenyan like this? Doesn't Yanhua Palace care about the affairs of the mortal world?"
The old lady was so frightened that she wanted to slap her granddaughter to death. She was lying down and being laughed at, why was this damn girl making such a fuss?
But after all, the words have been said and cannot be taken back. The old lady herself also wants to know the answer. Why did Yanhua Palace help Ye Wenyan? What went wrong in the process?
Lian Shi looked at the grandfather and grandson for a long while, then snorted coldly and said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. When it's time for you to know, you will know it naturally. Of course, I would like to remind you two that some things are better known than unknown. By the way, where is Fourth Miss Ye? It's not easy for me to come here, so I have to greet Fourth Miss anyway."
The old lady felt heartache, "Wen Yan is not in the house."
"Not in the mansion?" Lian Shi raised his voice. "If not in the mansion, then where is it?"
The old lady said stubbornly, "On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, she went to the temple to burn incense. When she came back, her carriage ran away, and even the driver didn't come back."
"She hasn't come back yet?" Lian Shi took two steps forward, bent down and stared at the old lady in front of him, "She hasn't come back, which means she's lost. Your granddaughter is lost, but you're sitting in the mansion like nothing happened, old lady, this doesn't make sense!"
The old lady shuddered again, "Please tell me clearly, sir, what should I do?"
"Of course we should go find it."
"But if we find her, the fourth girl's reputation will be ruined."
"Oh, yes, it will ruin your reputation." Lian Shi nodded, "A girl's reputation is very important. Well, how about this, let the old lady also lose it once, and then send someone to find the fourth young lady in the name of looking for the old lady, isn't that enough? You are already this age, and you are not even close to being famous, so this arrangement is the best."
The old lady was terrified and said quickly, "I am old and can't stand the torture! I hope you will understand."
Lian Shi shook his head decisively, "Whether you can understand or not is up to you. Whether you can bear the torment or not is your own business. Anyway, I've brought the message to you. At the New Year's Palace Banquet, someone must meet Fourth Miss Ye. If the Ye family can't hand over someone by then, then... hehe, that's hard to say."
After Lian Shi left, the old lady knelt on the ground for a long time before being helped up by Ye Lianmian.
She asked Ye Lianmian, "Who did you say wanted to see Ye Wenyan at the New Year's Palace Banquet?" Ye Lianmian frowned and analyzed, "It could be Yun Chen! That eunuch has been coming here recently, and Yun Chen hasn't shown up for a while. Don't be afraid, Grandma. Yanhua Palace has to be reasonable. Ye Wenyan lost himself, it has nothing to do with Grandma."
The old lady sighed. "Talk to Yanhua Palace about reason?" When has Yanhua Palace ever been reasonable? Many years ago, the old man once said that the only unreasonable place in the world is Yanhua Palace, and you still can't do anything about it.
Trying to reason with Yanhua Palace is something only a fool would do.
"Help me go to Qihua Pavilion." She stretched out her hand to Jun Tao. Ye Lianmian wanted to help but was pushed away by the old lady. "You don't have to go. Just let Jun Tao accompany me."
Ye Lianmian felt abandoned, and she blamed it all on the fact that the eldest family had offended the old lady so much that they also implicated her.
Life in Qihua Pavilion is very dull, just like a running account.
Every morning when the servants had their meals, Ye Jingsheng would howl for a while in the room, and Xiao would cry for a while. When they had howled enough and cried until they were tired, they would stop crying until the afternoon, when the eldest lady would come with a whip and beat the three people in the room severely, and then Jiduo would bring medicine to ensure that the people would be able to hang on and not die.
When the old lady arrived, Madam Mu had just finished whipping her. Nanny Ji was saying to her, "Madam, if whipping is not enough, I will sew some barbs on the whip, so that it will hurt more."
The old lady was so angry that she almost fainted. She pushed Jun Tao away, strode forward, and slapped Mu in the face.
A slap landed in the face, and Nanny Ji subconsciously wanted to help fight back, but was stopped by Madam Mu.
Mu Qianqiu raised his hand and wiped off a few drops of blood from the corner of his mouth, then said to the old lady: "You are the elder, I am the daughter-in-law who married into the Ye family. Although there was a lot of unpleasantness between us, my name is still on the Ye family's genealogy, so I took this slap. But tomorrow I will whip you harder and twice as hard." "You dare!"
"Do you think I dare?" Mu shook her head after saying that. "Of course, if we talk about courage in this mansion, I, Mu Qianqiu, cannot be ranked first. You are the truly daring ones." After saying that, she took Nanny Ji and left without even looking at the old lady again.
The old lady didn't want to say more to Mrs. Mu, so she just took a few steps forward and pretended to enter Qihua Pavilion.
Ji Duo and Ji Rong stopped her. Ji Duo said, "As I said before, you can go in, but you can't come out again. Think twice, old lady."
The old lady had no time to think, she was so angry that her liver ached. Not only was she angry, she was also afraid that the eunuch Lian from Yanhua Palace would make a surprise attack and throw her into the suburbs.
I wonder if Ye Hongzhuang has been found yet. If she is thrown away again, then this general’s mansion will become the domain of the old family, right?
She would never allow that to happen! Never!
