Chapter 33 The Flower Spirit Has Disappeared

cheng was a little surprised and subconsciously looked back. Seeing that there was no one behind Night Chu Lian, he felt a bit disappointed, but still greeted Night Chu Lian warmly, "Fifth Sister, ple...Lunch was at Qingliang Courtyard, eaten with Mu Shi, Ye Qingmei, and Ye Feiyu. 。Sister-in-law Er's night had been going on for a long time and she still hadn't come back. Mu Shi said: "QIngmei and Lianmian are twin sisters. Although they don't look alike, they were indeed born from the same womb." 。Back then, the old madam discussed with your father that since there were twins, why not send one to Fulu Courtyard to keep her company. 。And besides, a child who is raised by their elders will be fortunate and will surely become a capable young woman. 。Your father is a filial son, and he thinks that having his granddaughter raised by her grandmother is nothing unusual. Many families do the same, so he just took Lianlian away. 。After three years of separation, I several times suggested taking my child to live with me and educate him. My parents-in-law never agreed until she reached fifteen and came of age, then she was allowed to return to the east and live with us. 。“ Whenever I bring up the past, it’s painful. Ye Qingmei sighed along with me, “Because of this continuous issue, my mother even argued with my father several times. Sadly, although my father was decisive and ruthless in battle, he didn't dare to disobey his grandmother when he returned home.” 。The grandfather, however, was on our side. Firstly, he was often away fighting for many years and seldom came back. Secondly, he wasn't really involved in the matters between women in the backyard. 。So for all these years, Lianlian has never come back. 。" Night Feiyu used public chopsticks to give Ye Wenyan a piece of meat from the dish, “After dinner, go back and lie down. Your body needs to recuperate for a while before it can recover." 。Look at your face, what color is it Don't go to Fulu Courtyard tomorrow. 。"

Mrs. Mu nodded in agreement, "Yes, don't go. I don't think the old lady would be happy to see you. It's best to just rest here." >>> 。"You see, the food we have here is simply awful. Once the national mourning period is over, I'll take you to the street and buy you some delicious treats." 。“ If she had known about this beforehand, she would have fought tooth and nail that morning, absolutely wouldn't let them take you to the bridal sedan chair. ” 。"Yan'er, did that stab hurt" Night Wenyan ate the last bite of meat and swallowed his food. He looked up and raised a smile, "It doesn't hurt anymore. I'm lucky, I met a good person, so I was resurrected and didn't die from that stab." 。Now even my wounds are gone, you don't have to worry about me. 。"

Mu nodded, "Alright, your mother believes you now."

We've all seen what has happened these past few days. As for that benefactor, you mustn't ask about him, nor should your mother. Feiyu and Qingmei are not to ask either. 。All in all, it's good that the person has returned. If there's an opportunity in the future, let's thank that kind person properly. If not, then we'll just be grateful in our hearts. 。You have no father, and this first-rank general's mansion is no longer what it used to be. From now on, we have to rely on ourselves. Including me, all of us have to find a new way to live. 。Eat up. After you're finished, go back and think things over carefully. Once you have a plan, perk yourselves up, because from now on, every day might feel like a battle. 。After lunch, Ye Wen returned to his own room. Xichun lowered her eyes and entered the room respectfully to attend to him. 。Zhuier described in vivid detail what happened at the Jin Fu Lu courtyard to Xiangdong, all the way to when Cui MaMa went to attend to Ye Hongzhuang. Xiangdong sighed: “This is clearly waiting for Sanjie's belly! It’s good if it’s a son, but if it’s a daughter, I'm afraid neither the Duke of Su or the Empress Dowager would want this child.” 。"Ah, what about Third Sister" Xi Chun sighed. "An unmarried woman having a child is a serious matter. If the father refuses to acknowledge the child, won't she have to raise it all by herself"Xiang Dong shook her head. "She can't possibly..." 。Both Duke Su's mansion and the Empress Dowager did not recognize him as their child, how could the Ye family possibly recognize him 。The old madam must be feeling deeply ashamed of this child. Even the third sister is bringing shame upon herself and her family. Who knows what kind of tragic fate awaits them mother and daughter 。“She finished, took a deep breath, “But this is what she brought upon herself. All these troubles are of her own making, who else can she blame”

Xi Chun listened and frowned, “Who knows, it could be a son! Then the third sister would become powerful through her child.”

"

The young maid added, "Even if a mother is esteemed because of her son, what difference does it make Her husband was always an eunuch!"

It's no secret now that the Sixth Prince has become an eunuch, nor is it a secret that both his sisters have married. Servants in a First Rank General's mansion occasionally gossip about it.

Xi Chun glared at Zhuier fiercely after hearing her words, and snorted coldly, "But that's also a prince!" Zhuier pouted, "What use is such a prince..." 。"Xi Chun still wanted to talk, but Xiang Dong quickly pushed her aside. "Alright, sister needs to rest, let's go out! Let Zhuier stay behind and attend to..." 。“And be sure to keep the house nice and warm, dear. I'm afraid of the cold.” 。Xi Chun is now terrified of Ye Wen's night temperatures. As soon as Xiang Dong reminded him, he immediately realized that he had talked too much and quickly shut his mouth, lowering his head and following Xiang Dong out. 。When only Zhu'er was left in the room, the maid couldn't help but say, "Why did elder sister choose Xichun as her close attendant before She has a bad heart. The servant girl has only been here for two days and already sees through it. Why didn't elder sister see through it before"Ye Wenyan didn't know why the original owner hadn't seen through it before, so she could only shake her head helplessly, "Maybe I was blind before..." 。“ This little girl, Zhui'er, is too practical. Her elder sister is blind, and she actually nodded in agreement and added, "Indeed" 。Hearing Ye Wen's words, a wry smile appeared on his face. 。"Go pick some flowers for me!" she said to Zhu'er, "Isn't there a plum garden in the mansion Go pick some plum branches with blossoms and bring them back." 。This room is too plain and needs some flowers to liven it up. 。" After some thought, Zhuier said softly, “I’ll sneak out and pick some, but not too many.” 。If you like flowers, we can secretly find a bottle and put it in a discreet place inside the house. 。After all, we are still in the midst of mourning. It's best not to touch flowers for at least 100 days. 。“ She patted her forehead, “I forgot ” 。Okay then, don't bother with the branches, just pick a big bunch of flowers. 。"Flowers What would elder sister do with flowers Flowers picked back can't be kept for long and will wither!" After asking, she felt she had talked too much and quickly examined herself, "The servant girl was wrong, the servant girl shouldn't talk so much." 。When the mistress asked me to serve her, she said everything should be done according to your instructions and that I shouldn't question any of your decisions. 。"This servant was wrong, this servant will go pick flowers right away, elder sister please wait a moment, I'll be back soon." 。The girl ran all the way to pick flowers, leaving Ye Wenyan alone in the room pacing back and forth, examining his own hands. 。 No blood, no body temperature, the whole body is like this. 。Besides being able to breathe and speak, she now resembles a living corpse in every way. 。But she couldn't just keep going like this. It was one thing to raise suspicion, but the real problem was that it made her uncomfortable. 。Winter can still be cold, but what about summer If she's still shivering from time to time, how would she explain it to the people around her Wouldn't everyone think she was a ghost by then Something is amiss, and she doesn't want to become that anomaly. 。The flowers that Jué'er picked came back quickly, held in her clothes and spread out on the table, a full heap. 。She was very satisfied. 。Then, seeing Chuy'er put down the flowers and go back to tidying up the room, she remembered something: “Where’s my wedding dress Did I put it away”Chuy'er nodded, “Yes…” 。Then the wedding dress was changed in the mistress's room, when the maidservant returned, she also brought it along. 。It's just that, sis, that outfit is unlucky. We still need to find a way to get rid of it. 。“That needs to be handled” 。"Night Wen said, "But now is not the time. Let's stay a little longer and wait until the street ban is lifted in a few days. Then we can take off all the jewels from that wedding dress and throw it away." 。"

Zhui'er was puzzled. "Why are you using the gemstones"

She thought this little girl was a bit silly, "Of course it’s to exchange them for money! Those are rubies, prepared by my grandfather before he passed away. They must be worth a lot of silver!" "

“I understand now, “So sister was planning this! Makes sense, can't waste something that good.” 。“But...” she trailed off, her spirits sinking again. “Actually, Fourth Sister, you used to be very wealthy. Besides the monthly stipend from the household, Old Master always gave you extra spending money, and Big Master never skimped on you either.” 。” Where’s the silver” she asked Zhuai’er, “Where did the silver go Before my marriage, my house was full of treasures, where did they all go” Zhuai’er sighed, “It was all robbed during the move.” 。Not only your house, but also the big madam's, the eldest sister's and the second sister's, as well as the young master's, everything valuable has been robbed. 。But I'm not quite sure what was taken, after all, I used to clean the dust in the mistress's room before and didn't go to Fourth Sister's dance pavilion very often. 。As for who those were given to, it's none other than the old madam or the second madam! However, they mostly came from under the old madam's maidservants. I imagine the second madam couldn't reap too many benefits either. 。“

She walked to the wardrobe and opened the door, “Sister, look, now the closet is full of plain clothes. It’s fine for now during the period of mourning, but what will happen after a hundred days If there are no other clothes, we can't keep walking around in mourning clothes.”

These things Ye Wen knew, the night she returned, Mu's family and she had encountered something at home. 。But because the situation was rather chaotic at the time, the Mu family didn't have much to spare. They lost everything, even the stationery supplies in the eldest brother's study were robbed. 。Looking back now, that was a fortune! She had copied five courtyards and added her father's old study. This woman clearly amassed an ill-gotten fortune!"A gentleman should love wealth but acquire it righteously. Even if he does not, he should not take everything and leave people with no means of survival." 。She told Zhu'er, "In a while, you go to the Qingliang Courtyard for a bit. It’s just mine, let mother and elder sister reminisce about how much they've lost." 。Then write down every single one, so that when you settle accounts with people in the future, we will have a record. 。And also, tell Big Brother over there too, but the night is endless... even if she gives up. 。“ Little Zhuai nodded and happily went away. 。Ye Wen grasped a handful of plum blossoms. In an instant, abundant spiritual power surged through his body, leaving him feeling invigorated. 。Using flowers as a lure, transforming the lure into spirit, she wanted to completely revive this body that was like a corpse. 。A white light flashed in his hand, enveloping him in an instant. The unique secret technique of the Xuanmai Ye family was performed with swift precision. 。However, unexpectedly, under the presence of flowers, Ye Wen's incantation failed to work. 。She was greatly surprised....o her side, kneeling directly in front of her: "Fourth Sister, please save Suixi." 。"Ye Wenyan frowned and pulled the person up, "What are you doing We sisters don't need to kneel to each other, do we...
