Chapter 501: Heaven's Mandate Arrives!
an replied: "One million taels!" The moment these words were uttered, the entire family shuddered. 。It's not that they are uneducated and think one million taels is a large sum. 。It's truly unexpecte...Liu calmly glanced at him, said nothing, and simply bowed to Mu, saying: “Sister-in-law, I have no intention of offending my elder brother's spirit. Please don’t take my words to heart.”
I'll follow Chu Lian. If you can accept her as your daughter, I'll be your maidservant and comb your hair for you. 。"These past years, I haven't even been treated as well as a maid. Rather than being a concubine in the second house, I'd rather be a hair dresser for my elder sister-in-law!"
Nighting Gale was too lazy to care what she intended to do. All he thought about was pushing all the people he disliked to the main house and letting them be beheaded with Night Warm Words, then this mansion would truly belong to him.
I used to worry that I wasn't a night person, afraid of being kicked out from here. 。Now he was not afraid anymore, and even rejoiced that he might not be a member of the Ye family. 。Ye Wen's whole family is dead, only his second house survived. Thinking about it makes one feel good!He then said to the official: "The Princess is the Emperor's beloved daughter. People should not start bullying her just because the Emperor is gone..." 。If this matter is not thoroughly investigated and the perpetrator severely punished, how will the late Emperor find peace in the afterlife So you go back and tell Chi Hongfang, tell him it was I who said so. No matter who the culprit is, even if it's Miss Night’s Fourth, she must make amends to the Grand Princess!” The officer could not bear it any longer. He cast one last glance at this fool, then bowed to Ye Wenyan and hurriedly left General’s Mansion. 。Ye Chu Lian thought for a moment, then chased a few steps to remind the officer: "Officer, don't forget to go back to the yamen and change my household registration for me." 。The officer thought all the Ye family members were lunatics, but it was said that the fifth and fourth misses got along quite well. So he glanced at Ye Wenyan. 。Ye Wenyan glanced at Mu again, and finally Mu looked at Liu, then nodded. “Okay” 。The official walked away thoughtfully. 。Ye Wen rubbed his hands nervously and said to Ye Jing, "Before I've been hesitant about whether to say some things, after all, this concerns the face of our Ye family. I don't want my grandfather to be ashamed even in death..." 。Since you've brought it to this point, I have nothing left to hesitate about. 。She paused there, tilting her head to look at the elderly lady standing far away behind the night scene's splendor. 。"Grandmother, why are you standing so far away Come closer, we have important matters to discuss!" The old matriarch remained standing still, neither speaking nor moving, even seeming a little frightened. 。Nightingale urged her, "Grandmother, what are you waiting for Hurry up! Once this matter is resolved, Second Uncle can uphold justice and get rid of me, his niece. Then he'll send our entire main house to the execution ground!" 。How wonderful this is, you must cooperate well. 。" Turning to face the elderly matriarch, Ye Jian said, "Mother, at this point, we can't let her hold us back any longer." 。I know that being a mother is not easy, so no matter what you've done in the past, I believe you have your reasons. I also believe that everything you've done was for my own good. 。"Therefore, the son will always stand by his mother's side. As long as our family is together, we fear nothing!" He finished speaking and clasped both Chang Xueqiao and Ye Wushuang’s hands, but he found that both the mother and daughter had icy cold hands, trembling. 。They knew they were afraid, so they quickly advised: "Don't be afraid. It doesn't matter if it's the Night Family or not. As long as I am here, as long as Mother is here, we will have hope for our lives and things will be even better than before." 。After saying that, he leaned into Chang Xueqiao's ear and whispered, "Don't mind this mansion. I have another house outside. We can move out and still live well." 。Chang Xueqiao took a deep breath, and her face softened again. “As long as I can be with Brother Sheng, I don’t care about anything.” 。After he finished speaking, he beckoned to Xichun, “Sister-in-law, come here quickly. Our family will definitely be together.” 。"Xi Chun hurried over. Now, all she cared about was drawing a clear line between herself and Ye Wenyan; she didn't mind flattering Chang Xue Qiao at all. 。But Madam Lao remained still. Night Sheng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, his voice losing its patience: "Mother!"Finally, Madam Lao reacted, but instead of coming towards him, she kept stamping her feet: "Jing Sheng, what are you saying Why can't I understand your words We're all family, we all bear the surname Ye! Why do you always speak of two families What use is it to send your daughter and concubine away How come you're not a member of the Ye family anymore""Mother!" Night Sheng kept giving her meaningful glances, "What time is it now, Mother Don't keep pretending anymore..." 。We can only survive if we leave the Night Family, didn't you hear Ye Wenyan, she committed a capital crime, she killed the Princess!
She hasn't been sentenced yet, it's not necessarily her who killed her. 。“To everyone’s surprise, the old madam unexpectedly spoke up for Ye Wenyan, completely siding with him against her own son.” 。"You are her uncle, you can't slander your niece. You have to find a way to clear her name." 。"Why" Ye Xing was puzzled, "Isn't it better if she was killed As long as she lives for a day, our family won't have a moment of peace. Our mother hasn't suffered enough from her yet. Why are you speaking up for her And why do you insist on being part of the Ye family"The old matriarch had no words to explain herself. It was instead Ye Wenyan who clarified things: "Don't you understand Even if she wasn't my grandfather's biological daughter, she was his legally wedded wife and gave birth to our eldest son, so she is inextricably linked to the Ye family no matter what." 。No matter what, it's all going to end in death. The only way to survive is to clear my name. 。"Grandma, am I right"
Having said that, as if he suddenly remembered something, he said to Ye Jing: "Or maybe like this, you don't need your mother anymore, just take your wife and children as far away as possible. That way you wouldn't have to die!"
Ye Jing's heart skipped a beat, this was actually a good idea
Looking at the old lady’s gaze again, he felt a pang of guilt. 。This is going to be difficult. 。Ye Wen didn't mind his indifference, she raised her voice to the old lady and said, "Grandmother, why don't you stand forward a bit Let's have a good discussion about what surname my second uncle has!" 。You have bullied my grandfather for so many years, treating the entire Ye family like fools. This matter should finally come to an end!" Her eyes narrowed, fixing on the old lady, "You must give me an explanation for my father's death!"
Just as she was speaking, suddenly there was a commotion outside the mansion gate, with the sound of orderly footsteps surrounding the First Rank General's Mansion.
At the same time, the gate of the mansion was kicked open with a loud bang, accompanied by a terrified scream from the night watchman at the door. 。A group of people rushed in, led by two middle-aged men, one slightly overweight and the other tall and thin. 。Both were dressed in fine robes, one azure blue and the other silver-grey, their bearing noble and with a touch of resemblance. 。Ye Wenyan immediately recognized the person, the fatter one, Prince Bei Qi, Xuan Wang Quan Qing Shu. 。The skinny one, the second prince of Northern Qi, Prince Rong Quán Qīngzhào. 。I hear that the Lord's son is almost twenty now. He has been training in the army these years and has made some progress. 。The Second Prince seemed to be closer with Ye Xing before, but I don't know why he hasn't been seen with him for the past few months. 。At this moment, the two of them burst in together, followed by a squad of imperial guards, their expressions grim and menacing. It was clear they were not here for friendly conversation. 。Mrs. Mu, as usual, stood in front of Ye Wenyan, shielding him behind her, and then bowed to the two princes: "My lady, Mrs. Mu, pays her respects to His Highness, First Prince, and His Highness, Second Prince." 。"I wonder why the two Princes have come to visit And why did you kick down our gate, injuring my servant" When Mu heard the question, Prince Quan QingShu let out a heavy hum and stood with his hands behind his back. He spoke loudly, "Why I'm here, you should know in your hearts, right The magistrate Lin An has always sided with Miss Ye of the Night Family, this matter was probably passed on by someone long ago..." 。It's alright, since the mistress has asked, this king can say it again. 。Listen closely! Lady Ye Wuyan, the fourth miss of the night, poisoned the current Crown Princess. Her heart is cruel, her methods are brutal, and she even disrespects the royal family and ignores the laws of Bei Qi. 。"This King and the Second Prince came here today to capture the culprit and bring him to justice, sending him to the execution ground!"
These words caused Ye Xing to rejoice. He immediately shouted, "Both Princes, just conduct an impartial investigation. The Ye family will never shield the criminal!" After saying this, he felt that the two words "Ye family" were not appropriate, so he changed his words, “I, Ye Xing, will never protect..." 。The Grand Prince glanced at him, without saying a word. 。The second prince nodded and said, "The two honorable lords are deeply virtuous, setting a fine example." 。The night view stood tall with its chest puffed out, filled with pride and satisfaction. 。Mo shi was not pleased. "You haven't even investigated, nor asked any questions, and you directly throw him into the death cell I ask you, Grand Prince, did you take on the official position of the government Or the position of the Ministry of Justice If neither, then Grand Prince, you have no authority to come to the Mo Manor and seize people. " 。"Whether or not I have this authority, it's not up to you to decide, it's up to the Quan family to decide!" Quan Qingshu snorted coldly, looking at Mu with disdain. 。"Lady Night, today I am giving you face by allowing us to speak to each other civilly. However, you are being ungrateful! Based on your daughter's public assault of the Princess Royal, I can sentence her to death!"
Second Prince also chimed in: "Indeed, and the Night Family should not bring up the matter of the Princess Royal insulting General Night again" 。If you find the Crown Princess's actions inappropriate, you are welcome to report her to the authorities. You can even file a formal accusation against her. As long as our family is in the right, I believe the laws of Northern Qi will punish her accordingly. 。Yet you choose to use private violence instead of reporting this to the authorities, that is a grave crime! You even dare to assault a princess of the royal family, what else can Miss Ye Siu not doFurthermore, if Madam wants evidence... 。All the guests at the banquet in Lin'an Inner City saw it. Before leaving the mansion, Miss Four had been choking the Princess Consort's neck. Only she was in close contact with the Princess Consort, so naturally, the most likely person to have poisoned her was her. 。Furthermore, it's common knowledge that Ye Si Miss is a divine doctor. For a divine doctor to poison someone, that would be too easy. 。"All of these are just your guesses!" Mu Shi continued to argue, while Ye Feiyu, Ye Qingmei, and Ye Chulian tried their best to defend Ye Wenyan. 。However, only Ye Wushuang wiped away her tears again, sobbing and saying, "Fourth sister, I've warned you many times not to target the Crown Princess. Why don't you listen You've beaten and scolded her, isn't that enough Why do you want to poison her" Mu shi grabbed a household whip and slapped it back, "Shut your mouth!"Ye Wushuang was about to scream when she heard movement coming from the front door of the mansion—— "Imperial decree has arrived!"hese things and give them to me If it weren't for Yanhuagong raiding our house today, we wouldn't have known these things were here!"Mrs. Gu said angrily, "What the fourth young lady of Ye says is abs...
