Chapter 117 Looking up and seeing the starry sky
The old lady was anxious, so she stood outside the yard and shouted, "Jingsheng! Xiao Shubai! Where did you take Ye Wenyan? If you don't hand her over, I will be thrown out of the city, and then someone will go looking for her under the guise of looking for me! You and your family are trying to kill me! You are a bunch of unfilial descendants!"
The term "unfilial descendants" has always been used to scold Ye Wenyan, but now it is used on the second house's family.
Xiao was lying on the floor in the room, laughing as she listened to the shouting and cursing.
She said to Ye Jingsheng, "Did you hear your mother scolding you? She said she loved you the most since you were a child, but in fact, she always loves herself the most. She treats you better than big brother at ordinary times, but once your interests conflict with hers, she will throw you out without hesitation. I don't know why she disliked big brother's family so much in the beginning, but now it seems that she doesn't like our family more. Everything is just weighing the pros and cons, weighing the pros and cons."
Ye Jingsheng didn't say anything. He just listened quietly to the old lady scolding outside for a long time. Finally, she got tired of scolding and left. Then he turned his head and asked Ye Feizhou: "Do you think Ye Wenyan is dead or not?"
Ye Feizhou didn't say anything. Ye Jing kicked him angrily and said, "I'm asking you a question!"
"I don't know." Ye Feizhou's voice was so faint that it was almost inaudible.
Mrs. Xiao was also very angry. She used to feel sorry for her son, but in the past few days she had no time to feel sorry for others. She only thought about whether she was going to die here.
So when she saw Ye Jingsheng kicking Ye Feizhou, she also felt that he should be kicked, and even said: "If you don't have the ability, don't take such a job. In the end, not only will you hurt yourself, but also our whole family. Who are you acting like this for these days? You always accuse us of cheating you, but how did we cheat you? It was you who agreed to Hongzhuang to kill people, and it was also because you didn't learn the skills well enough and didn't do the killing. So you can't blame anyone, but we have to blame you instead."
Ye Feizhou felt like he was listening to a joke, but he couldn't laugh.
He should have seen through this pair of parents long ago. They had never loved him since he was a child. Why did he expect to get their attention by killing someone?
But it didn't make sense. He asked Xiao: "In the past, you thought the second son was useless, so you only focused on training your daughter. But now you are the head of the family, and the son of the head of the family should not be useless. Why don't you love me?"
Neither Xiao nor Ye Jingsheng spoke.
Why doesn't it hurt? There is no reason, just because I am used to it. Of course, it is not completely painless, at least when it first happened, Ye Jingsheng still blamed Xiao and Ye Hongzhuang for killing his only son.
But this kind of pain has its limits, just like what Xiao said about the old lady, when the old lady's interests collide with her second son, the old lady will choose herself without hesitation. Then they are the same, if they really have to throw one of them to be buried with Ye Wenyan, or be responsible for Ye Wenyan's affairs, then she and her husband will choose Ye Feizhou without hesitation.
After all, this son was not loved much since he was a child, so it is natural that he cannot be close to him when he grows up.
Xiao was thinking, if she sacrificed her son and let him take all the responsibility, then the others could be freed? If only Ye Feizhou had to pay with his life, they could live.
Ye Jingsheng had his own ideas. He was thinking that after this incident, Ye Hongzhuang's life and death were unknown, and Ye Feizhou was probably gone. He could use this as a reason to divorce Xiao. As long as Xiao was divorced, Chang Xueqiao could enter the mansion openly, and his Wushuang could become the legitimate daughter of the first-rank general's mansion.
His life will be back on track from now on, and he will no longer be afraid of being suppressed by the Ningguo Marquisate.
Yes, and there is also the Ningguo Marquis Mansion. He will have to ask the Ningguo Marquis Mansion why they could raise a daughter like Xiao Shubai? Why are neither of the two children she gave birth to worry-free? The Ningguo Marquis Mansion will also give him an explanation for this matter.
Ye Feizhou looked at his parents and didn't want to say another word. He regretted that he had been possessed by evil spirits and wanted to kill Ye Wenyan. Regardless of whether he succeeded or not, at least after this incident, the little affection he had for his fourth sister should have disappeared.
There are many people who are not having a good life in the First-Rank General’s Mansion, such as Xichun.
Compared to Qihua Pavilion, the situation in Concubine Garden was better, at least they were not starving. But they only had one meal a day, which could ensure that people would not starve to death.
The injury on her shoulder was getting better and worse, and no one went to see a doctor, so she just lay on the couch, listless, and barely managed to survive by taking the medicine given by Ji Duo once a day.
Sometimes she would ask the maid about Ye Jingsheng's situation, but the news she reported made her despair. In the end, she even regretted taking such a step.
I thought that if I became a concubine from a maid, I would no longer have to do the work of serving others. As long as I could serve men well, I would enjoy a happy life in the future. But I didn't expect that this was worse than being a maid. I didn't enjoy the happiness for a few days before I suffered such a great punishment.
However, Liu and Ye Chulian were not affected much. Ye Chulian practiced piano and dance, read books and wrote every day, as if everything that happened in the mansion had nothing to do with her. She even saved the trouble of paying her respects to Fuluyuan.
Liu was also safe and sound. She hid in the yard all day and never came out. She didn't ask about what was happening outside. The mother and daughter lived a quiet life. If there wasn't a master coming to the house every day, people would have thought that the Fifth Miss and Aunt Liu had become invisible.
The Ye family is not stable, and the outside world is not stable either.
That night, something happened in Renwang Palace again!
The Third Prince Quan Qingyun was sleeping when he heard a sound of collapse. At first he thought it was a dream, but soon he remembered the palace wall that collapsed last night. So he opened his eyes immediately and saw a starry sky...
This is... the house collapsed! This is the house collapsed!
In the dead of winter, the house suddenly collapsed while he was sleeping, and even the roof of the bed fell down and hit him.
It’s a good thing that it’s winter and the quilt is thick. If it were summer, he would have been beaten to death!
Quan Qingyun was very upset. It was cold in winter, and suddenly there was a wind blowing from all sides. It was like he was sleeping in the open air. He couldn't bear it!
"Someone come! Someone come!" he screamed frantically, shivering with cold as he curled up in the quilt. Fortunately, he had a concubine by his side.
The concubine was the same Mika who was thrown out last night. She was luckier tonight because it was cold and His Highness Niou was counting on her to keep warm, so he was reluctant to throw her out.
Countless servants ran over here, including Quan Qingyun's secret guards who heard the noise at the first time, but unfortunately no one could understand what was going on. The house collapsed so suddenly, and it collapsed so completely. It didn't look like it was done by a human. If they hadn't felt the shaking, they would have almost thought it was a ground dragon turning over.
Quan Qingyun questioned the servants and asked them to explain the reason, but the servants could not give any answer. In the end, they could only attribute it to disrepair and said that they must build it more solidly next time.
But everyone knew that the Niou Palace had been renovated only last year, so it was impossible for it to fall into disrepair in just a short time.
Quan Qingyun was furious and beat all the servants in the yard in rage.
The secret guard watched him whipping someone, and then he remembered an incident in the general's mansion, so he said to him: "The eldest lady of the Ye family also whips the second young master of the Ye family every day."
Quan Qingyun's anger rose again, and the force under his hands became stronger.
On the morning of the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, His Royal Highness Quan Qinghua went to the First-Rank General's Mansion on the pretext of paying homage to his teacher. The old lady and the eldest lady received him together and opened the ancestral hall for him to burn incense.
Quan Qinghua had a cold face from beginning to end, and never smiled at either the old lady or the first lady.
It was not until after the worship was over and he was invited to Xu Ming Hall for tea that his expression relaxed a little, but it was still far from a smile.
Mu didn't say anything. She was in a bad mood these days. Although she knew that Ye Wenyan was fine, she was fine only because she was rescued. What if she wasn't rescued? Her daughter had a hard time, why should she suffer another hardship?
So she didn't speak actively, and she kept thinking that when she went to Qihui Pavilion to whip someone, she must dip the whip in some chili water so that it would hurt more.
The old lady did chat with Quan Qinghua, but it was mostly one-sided. Quan Qinghua was just a listener, but she would frown from time to time and pause while drinking tea. Finally, the old lady said, "Among the children left by the eldest son, only Lianmian is worry-free. The others are really not obedient." She looked at Mu and said, "When their grandfather was alive, they could be restrained. Now there is no one in charge at home, and they are really capable of going against the rules. Alas, the fourth prince doesn't know that every family has its own problems. My eldest son is good at fighting and making achievements, but he is really not good at disciplining his children."
When it comes to the bad things about the eldest son, she simply has endless things to say. "Compared to the first wife's family, his younger brother's family is much better. Several children are well behaved, filial to their elders, and friendly to their brothers and sisters. It's a pity that the younger brother is the younger brother after all. As long as the older brother is there, no matter how well his family does, he is still the second son, and the second son has no future." The old lady sighed, "In fact, we put the same effort into both sons, but we didn't expect the eldest son's family to end up like this."
Mrs. Mu came to her senses at this time and said stiffly, "What's wrong with our family? How come my husband doesn't know how to discipline his children? The old lady said that as long as the elder brother is around, the second son will have no future, so you want the elder brother to be gone?"
The old lady frowned and said to Quan Qinghua, "Listen, Fourth Prince. This is the eldest son's widow. She can speak to me, her mother-in-law, like this in front of outsiders today. It shows how unbearable she is on weekdays."
Mu was about to say something, but she saw Quan Qinghua shaking her head slightly at her.
She didn't know what this Prince Dust meant, but when her husband was still alive, he often mentioned this student of hers, and his words were full of pride and pride. She knew that this Prince would not stand on the side of the old lady, so she shut up and didn't say another word.
But Quan Qinghua said, "Hearing what Madam Ye said today, this prince also remembered something. Now everyone in Lin'an City knows that the Ye family has a third daughter who replaced the engagement of the fourth daughter of Ye and married into the Su Palace as the principal wife. That's not all, she was actually two months pregnant before the wedding. I didn't expect that a person as strict as the teacher could raise such a daughter."
