Chapter 532: Everyone Has Secrets
ding then. This official thought Lady Ye was going to deal with an imperial official!' "The old woman took a deep breath and, as calmly as she could, said: "Master Yun, you're overthinking it. I don't...After breakfast, the three members of the Ji family and Xiang Dong ali went back to sleep. Ye Wenyan took Zhuier to Huayuyuan. 。Although Zhu'er didn't know what her young mistress was doing at Huayuan, it was the Second Madam's courtyard. Now that everyone in the Second House had been sent away, only the Second Madam remained in the mansion. Zhu'er thought that the young mistress must have intentionally left her behind for a purpose!When the master and servant arrived, Jinxiu was talking to a maidservant in the courtyard. 。That maid stood up straight, no longer with the reverence she used to show the mistress. Instead, she spoke arrogantly, "Miss Jinxiu, things are different now. The second madam doesn't have much standing in this general's mansion anymore. If you want to ask something, just ask." 。If you want to know what happened in the mansion, go to the front yard and ask around yourself. You can't just sit here waiting for things to happen. 。" Jinxiu, upon hearing this, immediately understood. She quickly stuffed the few silver coins she had in her pocket into the maid's hand, but the maid refused 。"How does Hua Yu's courtyard still have silver It must be that the Sixth Prince didn't clean out your place completely last time." 。I will definitely report back to the Fourth Miss. Please ask the Sixth Prince to let the Fourth Miss know that this Hua Yu Courtyard needs to be rewritten. 。"
Her complexion turned increasingly ugly. Seeing that the other party didn't want it, she simply took back the silver, tucked it away, and slapped the maidservant's face with a slap. " 。The other party was startled, "You dare to hit me"Jinxiu snorted coldly, "Why wouldn't I dare What are you The second mistress hasn't fallen yet! She is still the head of the General's Mansion..." 。How dare you, a servant, yell in the master's courtyard It's none of your concern what the masters argue about. Second Madam spoke to you because she respects you, she gave you face! Don't take her kindness for weakness!Jinshu had been a senior maidservant for so long, when she scolded someone, it was with quite a bit of authority. 。But the maid who was beaten didn't buy it at all. She had been caught off guard by the sudden slap and was stunned for a moment, but after she recovered, she immediately refused to cooperate. 。
With a slap, she retaliated with her backhand, sending Jinxiu spinning in place.
"Hmph!" She spat fiercely at Jinxiu, "Have some shame! What mistress of the house, what second madam! Hmph, hmph, hmph! Go out and find out what's going on in this household The old master with his concubine and illegitimate daughter have already been driven out by the fourth miss. Are you still here playing mistress The head of the household has run away, who cares about a mistress anymore Jinxiu, I'm telling you, people used to smile at you out of respect, but now no one in this whole house can give you face. " 。Those who know what's good for them should scram and behave themselves. While Miss Four hasn't arrived to chase you out, enjoy two more meals at General Manor. 。"Who knows when Lady Ye might remember you and beat you out with a big stick!"
She scolded them, puffing angrily as if to leave. As she turned around, she saw Ye Wenyan and Zhuier, so she quickly bowed: “This servant greets Fourth Miss” 。"I'm here to bring food to Huayujian, Miss. I just didn't want to talk to them much and this Jinxiu girl slapped me." 。Miss Four, they're too arrogant. 。"
Ye Wen nodded, "Well, it's quite arrogant, then you hit back harder, slap them a few more times to vent your anger." 。"
Upon hearing this, the maid was overjoyed. She got up without a word and... 。A resounding slap landed on his face, delivered with considerable force. 。She enjoyed beating him up, and Jinxiu ended up looking like a pig's head. 。"I told you all, you used to bully us! You never treated us as human beings! With the mistress backing you up, you even deducted two months' wages from us, your conscience must have been eaten by dogs! And before the mistress came, you flaunted your power in the mansion, taking advantage of the old lady's kindness towards your family!" 。You guys are all bark and no bite, aren't you How come you don't dare act tough when the Old General is around Only after he and the Great General leave camp do you start getting cheeky and engaging in all these underhanded schemes behind people's backs. 。Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west. If you don't accumulate virtue in your daily life, you deserve to be unlucky now!Jinxiu was beaten until her eyes were full of stars, and she had a belly full of fire, but she didn't dare to retort. 。Because Ye Wenyan is here, this isn't a maid hitting her, but Ye Wenyan hitting her. 。They already know that the Emperor has betrothed Night Wenyan, so Night Wenyan will be the future empress. It is impossible to afford to offend such a person. 。When Jinxiu fell silent, the maidservant also knew to stop talking. 。So he stopped, bowed again to Ye Wen, and walked away carrying the food box. 。The food in the lunch box hasn't been taken out yet, so how was it brought here and taken back 。Jinshu wanted her to put down the food, but after thinking about what the maid had just said, the second master and his family were driven away Then the fourth miss must be here to drive them away this time Since everyone was going to be driven away, of course she couldn't eat anymore. 。She covered her face and bowed to Ye Wenyan. Ye Wenyan smiled faintly and strode toward the main house. 。 As they reached the doorway, she pushed it open and entered. Zhu'er pulled Jinxiu back, "Miss Jinxiu, since the master is speaking, we shouldn't go in and be in their way." 。Just wait here at the door, you won't be of any use if you go in. 。"What difference does it make to my master how he treats the second mistress One less or one more, what's the difference" Jinxiu stopped her steps obediently and stood with Zhuier at the door. 。Inside the room, Xiao Sh beyaz watched Ye Wenyan pull a chair and sit beside her bed, feeling particularly uncomfortable. 。This witch from the Ye family, has been showered with the most love from General Ye since she was born. 。The old general's affection for this granddaughter was almost more than the love he had for Ye Feiyu, his eldest grandson. 。Besides being born on the day of a victorious battle, Ye Wen's personality grew more and more like that of the old general as she got older. 。She had hated this child for over a decade, and finally, on the second day of the twelfth lunar month last year, she managed to kill him. However, she never expected that the dead man would come back to life. From then on, her life was turned upside down. 。“What is Madam Two thinking about” Ye Wenyan smiled and looked at Xiao Shuangbai, “Is she thinking of Ye Hongzhuang when she sees me” Xiao Shuangbai took a deep breath, stared fixedly at Ye Wenyan, she really wanted to tell the truth about the fake Sixth Prince, and then ask Ye Wenyan what was going on in her heart. Was she colluding with this fake Sixth Prince to perform this play, just to make her daughter into a monsterBut she couldn't say it. This was a secret, once revealed, who knows if Ye Wenyan would silence her. 。Now she is the future Empress, and as the future Empress, no one can hold her accountable for murder. 。Moreover, she intends to keep this secret as leverage. Should the day ever come when her life is in danger, she can use this secret to bargain with Ye Wenyan for a chance to survive. 。She absolutely didn't believe that the Emperor would ignore this. As long as she spoke up, the marriage between Ye Wenyan and the Emperor would be over. 。Even if she died, she could still drag Ye Wenyan down with her as a scapegoat. It was worth it. 。Then Xiao Shu Bai also smiled, she told Ye Wenyan: "Indeed I remembered my red makeup, but it's a pity that she is now suffering in the Su Mansion and can't come back." 。Unlike you, you lost the engagement of the Sixth Prince and got engaged to the Emperor. How happy and carefree you are! 。" Yes, it's quite lively. " 。But I am a person who values family, only if I am happy alone that is not true happiness, all the family must be well, that's what is truly good. 。So I came over today to see Aunt Two, hoping that she would get better too. That way, everyone would be happy, right 。"What do you mean" Xiao Shubi frowned as she heard this. 。Would he be so kind "It means exactly what it says." 。I hope my second aunt is well and recovers her previous life, and can still be called "second mistress." 。Even Hongzhuang, my aunt, could come back home and serve you with filial piety. 。Then after a few years, when the hype dies down and people gradually forget, I'll help her find a good husband. 。After all, I am now the future empress. There are many people who want to be related to me. 。"
Xiao Shubi was a little stunned, "You're willing to help Hongzhuang"
"Of course!" Ye Wenyan laughed brightly, "We are all family, close relatives. How can I not help her out Although things were a bit unpleasant in the past, that's all water under the bridge. I'm not someone who holds grudges>>> 。And I can not only help Sanjie, but also Second Aunt. 。For example, I could waive the one million taels of gold you owe to His Highness Sixth Prince, and I could even return the courtyard that Marquis Ningguo's mansion allotted for you, allowing Madam Xiao to have some face at home. 。What does Auntie Two think" Xiao Shubi understood. This was a fox greeting the chickens for New Year's, with no good intentions. 。To do so many things, she must inevitably pay the price for it. 。Then she asked Ye Wen again, "What would you like to exchange with me" Ye Wen said, "I want to exchange for a different question. I want to ask what you told my mother before my father passed away." Xiao Sh beyaz was taken aback, "You want to know this" "What do you think I want to know, Auntie" Xiao Sh beyaz laughed, "I thought you wanted to know the true cause of your father's death..." 。"I already know the real cause of death. " 。She raised her lips, “Not only have I found out the cause of my father’s death, but also that of my grandfather.” 。My grandfather died at the hands of the old lady, my father died at your and Ye Sheng's hands, this is not hard to investigate. 。" Xiao Shǔbái's heart trembled. "You won't avenge your father" "Avenge Of course! But the time isn't right yet" 。So, in the terms of our exchange with your aunt, I added an extra condition: I will spare your life. All you have to do is give me Ye Xing's life. 。"Do you think I've added enough chips" "Are you really not going to kill me" "Really not, and I can even tell you another secret..." 。“She casually picked up a baby's garment lying on the bed, “It’s such a pity, the child just vanished.” 。Actually, there's a culprit behind all this, it's not me, nor is it any of you who killed in the first place. 。I know who it is, but Aunt Two has to tell me what I want to know first. 。Xiao Shubi's curiosity was completely piqued, and besides, Ye Wenyan's offer was tempting enough. Why wouldn't she say it So she nodded, "Okay, I'll tell you." 。"Ye Wen, listen carefully. This mansion of the First Rank General isn't as straightforward and honest as it appears. Besides the old general, everyone else has their own secrets…"ce choked with sobs, and like Ye Wu Shuang, she wiped away her tears. 。"The daughter-in-law, Chang Shi, has served the old master for many years and gave birth to a daughter for him, named Wushuang."...
