ust now, I thought about a lot of things, mainly whether he would help me." 。Because we weren't really close and our sibling bond was practically nonexistent, I barely even saw you before I turned ten...Lady Ye was in pain. To those around her, she seemed to be moved by memories, crying over her son.
...some people might find something amiss. Analyzing what Mu said just now, it seems that the old mistress didn't care much about her eldest son this night. Not only did she not care, but she seemed to be constantly scheming against him and his family... 。But speaking of which, where are the two masters and their family today Even Mu has returned from the temple, but Master Two hasn'tThe old madam is still crying, but the Ye family members remain indifferent. Mu stands by the incense altar, bowing and thanking everyone who finishes their incense offering. 。Several children also stood by Mu's side and followed suit, bowing and thanking him. 。But the night stretched on endlessly, standing at the very edge, even separated from Ye Chu Lian by a distance. 。The eldest daughter of the Ye family, many people recognize her, and they also know that she is the child raised by the old lady as mentioned by Mrs. Mu. 。It's said that she doesn't get along well with her parents, and now it seems the rumors are true. She even refused to participate in the family rituals, let alone give thanks. She acted like an outsider, just staring at everyone in the crowd, as if she was looking for someone. 。Yu Qiao is not at home, and Ye Lianmian doesn't have a reliable person by her side. The maid accompanying her now was reprimanded by Yu Qiao yesterday and even testified for Ye Chulian in front of Ye Wenyan. Naturally, she doesn't have a good attitude towards her either. 。This would see Ye Lianlian hanging around like nothing had happened. The maid couldn't stand it anymore and whispered, "Second Miss should also go with Madam to return the greetings and express thanks. They are here to offer incense to the General. As a daughter, showing gratitude to guests is the most basic courtesy." 。To act so nonchalantly as if nothing is wrong, shows a lack of manners. 。This maid's words are also very impolite. She uses such rude language, it's clear she has no respect for this second young mistress at all. 。Ye Lianmian also grew angry, and glared fiercely at her, "Don't think that because you spoke a few words for Ye Chulian, you're one of them. They don't even want you! In the end, you still have to follow me, alive or dead, I still have the final say." 。That maidservant didn't mind her words and simply said, "We maidservants don't have the right to choose our masters. As long as we can live with ourselves, no matter what kind of master we serve, it's fate given by heaven. Why am I so unlucky I ended up serving you." 。" Ye Lianlian let out a cold snort, unwilling to argue with a maidservant anymore. She turned her gaze to Mu Shi instead. " 。When Mu Shi first entered the household, she was pulled aside by Yè Fēiyù and shoved to the side. She didn't have time to complain at the time, and later she never found a suitable opportunity to speak up. 。This was her chance. With so many people present, all she had to do was tell them about Ye Wenyan's attempt to kill her. Even if people were hesitant to act against the Emperor because of his status, at least they could make Ye Wenyan look bad in their eyes, making the people even more disgusted with this witch from the Ye family. 。She also wanted to see Mu Shi's reaction, to see how much weight her biological daughter held in Mu Shi's heart. 。She was about to speak, but she didn't know when, Ye Chulian took a step closer to her, right before she opened her mouth to speak, Ye Chulian coldly said: "Second Sister, if you want to talk about yesterday's affairs, I advise you not to." 。Today, such occasions are only suitable for talking about one's father's accomplishments; it's not appropriate to discuss other matters. 。“ The night dragged on, and Ye Lianmian gritted his teeth, “Father Who are you calling father That’s my father, don’t try to flatter yourself!” 。After finishing his words, he glanced again at Sui Xi who was standing beside him. His anger flared even more. 。"Your maidservant wasn't actually dead, and you weren't either. Yet I was truly punished that night. Wen Yan did indeed have murderous intentions towards me. Why" "Just because you also had murderous intentions towards me." 。"Ye Chu Lian said calmly, "Besides, you're not dead either, so it's even." 。"It's not fair! Ye Chulian, you're an outsider, my mother wouldn't abandon me to help you!" 。"Then you try. " 。"Ye Chu Lian tidied her sleeves and said to her, "But I still want to remind you, Fourth Sister's temper has always been not very good. If you really anger her, she won't care who her mother favors. She will only consider who she likes." 。"
Ye Lianmian truly hated that he couldn't just kill Ye Chu Lian, “I’ll say it again, the main person celebrating the memorial today is my father, not yours” 。Over there, standing and bowing is my mother, not yours. 。"Isn't that so" Ye Chulian shook her head. "That's what you think, but in reality, my household registration has been changed. According to the laws of Beiqi, she is my mother. The one on the tablet, that's my father." 。You have to admit it, even if you don't want to. 。It was you who made the first move to kill. Even if we were to pass judgment, you would be tried first and then me. 。Murdering one's sister is a crime that will lead to punishment. 。Don't forget, your maid is still locked up in jail. A whole day and night, who knows what she might have said. 。" Night stretched on, and a shiver ran through Ye Lianmeng's heart. Yu Qiao knew many things; even up in the hall, she could ask some insightful questions. 。But on second thought, there's really nothing to admit. 。She doesn't get along with her family, but to say she committed murder... she only did it once. The rest is just arguing with her sisters at home, or swindling Mu Shi for some money. The officials are already well-fed, so why bother with such small matters So Yu Qiao is nothing to be afraid of, and she's not afraid of Ye Chu Lian. 。"What do you think you are, my own sister" Ye Lianmian snorted coldly. "Don't try to scare me with those words. Since you're still alive, I'm at most an attempt that failed. With my father and grandfather's military achievements, what can the government do to me It's you, Ye Chulian, don't be too proud. Just wait until I expose everything about your second house, none of your family will escape. All of you will die!"She felt like she had grasped the most crucial lever, one that could control Ye Chulian for life. 。But Ye Chulian didn't think so. She told Ye Lianmian, "Then just say it! Anyway, the old lady was the one who did wrong back then, this account should be settled with her, not me." 。If things really escalated, the final outcome would likely be that Old Madam would be executed, the entire Second House would be completely expelled from General's Mansion, and stripped of their official positions, becoming commoners. 。But still, I'm the eldest son now, and my second brother is too, so this matter has nothing to do with us two. 。As for the others, I don't care what happens to them. 。" Don't care That's your own father!" "So what if he is Second sister, don't you also not care how your biological parents are doing" She said these words, her tone always calm, as if she was talking about someone else's business, with no connection to herself whatsoever. 。This blandness, seen in Ye Lianmian's eyes, was heartless. It also starkly contrasted with her impression of Ye Chulian over the past decade. 。The night stretched on endlessly, a sudden realization washing over him—“So all these years you’ve been faking it! You weren’t scared at all, and you weren’t nearly as pitiful as—” 。These are just your appearances, actually you've been waiting for an opportunity and holding out for a good price. 。Now that I've got Night Whisper as my backer, I immediately latched onto him. 。
It turns out that the most cunning person in the entire Ye family is actually you.
"Ye Chu'lian, I truly underestimated you!"
Ye Chu'lian nodded. "Yes, I did scheme, and I did indeed ask for a price."
But I haven't just admired Fourth Sister recently, I've been looking up to her since I was very young. 。She has always been the person I admire and yearn to be. I've always hoped that one day I could live as wonderfully and freely as my eldest sister, so I've been working hard towards that dream. 。You can say I'm calculating, or that I'm looking for a patron, it doesn't matter to me. 。Even if I wanted to seek more benefits for myself, as long as I don't betray her in my lifetime, no one can find fault with me. 。"The night dragged on. Unlike you, I have a brain and a conscience!"She said those words and fell silent, shuffling back to Mu's side and continuing to return greetings with him. 。Even through this conversation, Ye Lianmian still couldn't bring herself to go and report Mu Shi. 。Besides, she had no confidence to begin with. Although she got everything she wanted from the Mu family since childhood, even begging Ye Wenyan to save her and spare her. 。But she understood that the Mu family could only offer her this much. 。Among so many children, she, who was never raised by their side, was the least favored and the most unwelcome. 。She can't depend on her mother, so she has to plan for herself. 。Madam Ye had been waiting for Ye Lianmian's attack, but after Ye Lianmian spoke to Ye Chulian for a while, he didn't take any further action. This made her very disappointed. 。The old generals' former subordinates also disappointed her! She was crying, really crying for those people. She hoped they would come forward and ask her something, like: "Madam, what's wrong Why are you crying Why do you look so haggard Are things not going well at home"If anyone had asked, she would have had a chance to speak up. She wouldn't have just listened to Mrs. Mu say those words one after another, while she couldn't even utter a word of defense. 。
It was a shame that no one asked, those people just went to the night view and lit incense, they just talked with other guests who were present, talking about how many times the old general and the great general had fought well, and how the great general's use of military strategy was so unparalleled. >>> 。She was so angry her face turned red. 。Finally, everyone had finished incense burning. The Mu family was about to arrange for everyone to take their seats and start the feast. 。At this moment, a sharp cry suddenly came from the gate of the mansion - “The Emperor has arrived!”People turned around one after another, facing the direction of the gate. Old Madam Ye was also lifted up by Xiang Dong and Ali on either side. When Beiqi National Prince Quan Qingcheng strode in, she pressed down hard to the ground. 。Everyone shouted in unison, —"We subjects bow to the Emperor! Long live the Emperor, ten thousand years!" Quan Qingcheng glanced at the crowd and nodded, "You may all rise." 。Then, without waiting for those people to get up, he walked straight towards Ye Wen. 。Before he even got closer, he spoke first, "Sister, why are you kneeling before me Isn't this a joke" After finishing his words, he flicked his robe and knelt back towards Ye Wenyan, “Quan Qingcheng greets the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty!"w could she have implicated my mother, causing her death" Yunsheng couldn't speak any further. Tears streamed down his face, but he clenched his teeth tightly, refusing to let himself cry out lou...
