> Chapter 66: After the hour of the Child, it would be Four

ow-key, and the Jin Mian (Office of Imperial Censors) he served in was practically a hidden one. Some officials from the previous dynasty might have known him, but within the imperial court, apart fro...The First-Rank General's Mansion definitely couldn't be smashed. Ye Wenyan spent almost the entire meal calming Jiang Wanting's emotions, calming her to the point where she began to wonder who was the more mistreated one – the Fourth Miss of the Ye family. How could Jiang Wanting's anger burn hotter than hers

Even the maid, Yu, from the Jiang family felt a little embarrassed and quickly explained to Ye: "Sister Ye, don't be offended. My mistress just has this kind of temper, she hates evil deeply. If a good friend is bullied, it's like being bullied herself. She absolutely has to vent her anger, or she won't be able to sleep at night. I will definitely try to persuade her later and let her calm down."

Jiang Wanting couldn't calm down. She ate her meal and then took a carriage back to the inner city. She had her carriage stop for a while at the front of the First Rank General's Mansion, gritting her teeth and cursing before finally feeling better.

Ye Wen stepped out of the car. The two had made a date to go shopping together in a few days, and finally sent off Jiang's elder sister.

Turning back, she saw Ye Feiyu standing at the door, staring at her with a face full of worry.

Ye Wenyan was puzzled, "Brother, why are you standing outside Are you waiting for me"

"Ye Feiyu helplessly looked at Se, "It's already dusk, it's dark outside, how come you're only back now."

She stuck out her tongue and took two steps forward, saying, "I went to the outer city with Sister Jiang for a meal and came back late, making my brother worry." She then proactively took Night Flying Jade's arm, just like her former sister-in-law, Night Fourth Sister, was, friendly and warm. "Next time, I will definitely inform my brother in advance and won't make him worry again."

Ye Feiyu was truly helpless. “I’m not blaming you for being late, nor am I worried about you eating out in the city. Yan'er, please go into the mansion and have a look. Mother might not be able to hold on much longer.”

She was startled upon hearing this, “What do you mean by ‘can’t hold on’ What happened to Mother” She released Ye Feiyu's arm, lifted her skirt and strode towards the manor.

As soon as she rounded the screen, Mu's voice came over: "Why don't you understand why she went to smash the Prince's Mansion again She's feeling resentful! That's her venting! The granddaughter of a first-rank general was treated with such humiliation. It's fine if her family didn't seek justice, but now that she seeks it herself, you dare to question her I ask you both, where do you get the face"

Mrs. Mu pointed at the Nightview Mansion and the couple, Xiao, “Your daughter stole my daughter’s fiancé! Such a big matter, you never gave me an explanation, now you come to question Yan'er about smashing the Duke of Su’s mansion Shame on you! When my husband was alive, you all pretended to be decent people, but as soon as he left, you bullied a widow and her orphan! Do you have any conscience”

The night scene was furious, already angry because Ye Wényan smashed the Sufu incident and was scolded severely by Empress Li in the palace. He went home wanting to vent his anger on Ye Wényan, wanting to question Mu Shi for her incompetent teaching of her daughter. Unexpectedly, before he could release his anger, Mu Shi scolded him instead.

Being scolded in front of so many people, along with Xiao Shi being scolded, Ye Sheng glanced at Xiao Shi. He saw anger burning in Xiao Shi's eyes, and this fire was directed at him. The meaning was obvious: Ye Sheng, people pointed fingers and scolded you, if you can swallow this breath, then you are not a man!

The night scene couldn't bear it anymore, after calling out "slut" twice in a row, she raised her hand to slap Mu Shi's head!

Ye Feiyu, who had just returned to the courtyard, was terrified. He rushed forward and stood in front of Mu Shi, while also raising his hand to grab Ye Ye Sheng's wrist and shouted, "What is Second Uncle trying to do"

"What audacity! You beast, let her go! I swear, if I don't kill this shrew, I won't be called Ye anymore!"

Mu Shi also didn't give in, immediately retorted: "If you have the guts, then hit! A nephew beating his aunt is truly a rare sight throughout history! Feiyu, let go of him. He called you a beast, which means he's cursing your dead father too. Even if he doesn't hit me today, I will beat him! Since the First Rank General's mansion is so unruly, then I will establish some rules for them! Feiyu, let go. A general who has never been on a battlefield dares to slap you around, as if he could defeat me"

Ye Wenyan almost wanted to applaud Mu Shi. This mother-in-law was truly impressive, possessing the right kind of aura. Whether she won or lost, she couldn't afford to lose in terms of momentum. She hated encountering people who cried and whined without taking responsibility when faced with difficulties. Right now, Mu Shi standing up for her children like this was exactly what she admired.

"Big brother, listen to your mother and let go." She finally spoke, addressing Ye Feiyu, "It doesn't matter if our mother wins or loses, let's just let the second uncle fight. But Second Uncle—" she sneered at Ye Jing Sheng, "You better listen to me carefully, today if you lay a hand on my mother, I will retaliate by laying a hand on your mother. You hit my mother, and I hit yours. We'll be fair and reasonable."

"You wretch! You vile creature!" The old woman was furious, "I am your grandmother, you dare hit me Try it!"

"Just try it." Ye Wenyan walked step by step forward, standing directly in front of the old lady. "Don't use seniority to pressure people. I'm here. Since I was treated as a corpse and thrown out of Su Wangfu that day, I am no longer who I used to be. These so-called relatives of yours have nothing to do with me. Whether I beat you or scold you, I wouldn't feel any psychological burden. You may not believe it, but if your son dares to touch my mother, I will return the favor tenfold."

She rolled up her sleeves, "My body has been feeling cold these past few days. Ever since I put on this warm jade stolen from the Duke of Shu's residence by the Yanhuagong, I feel much warmer. Even in this cold weather, rolling up my sleeves and punching wouldn't make me feel too chilly. Come on, Uncle Two, let's begin!"

The night scene was stunned, even though Ye Feiyu had already released his wrist, he didn't dare to swing his raised arm down.

His intuition told him that Ye Wen would definitely follow through, as long as he dared to slap Mrs. Mu, she would immediately slap the old woman back.

And her words just now, Nuanyu. The Nuanyu that was taken from Yanhuagong. This wasn't just something said offhand, she was clearly reminding the Ye family that she was currently representing Yanhuagong. Opposing her would be opposing Yanhuagong. Who knows, if he attacked Mu today, tomorrow someone from Yanhuagong could come and beat him up.

The anger of Empress Yanhua Palace was far greater than that of Empress Li.

Mu looked up at him, "Hit!"

Ye Feiyu also followed up with, "Please make sure it's done, Uncle!"

Ye Wenyan curled his lips, "Are you still a man with such a beautiful night view"

The night scene was so overwhelming that I wanted to grit my teeth, close my eyes and just kill Mu Shi without hesitation.

But just as he moved his hand down, Ye Wenyan also followed suit. He leaned closer to Mu Shi, and Ye Wenyan leaned closer to the old lady.

The old lady was so frightened that she fell to the ground and burst into tears: "I can't live anymore! I can't live anymore! Did you see this, my husband My granddaughter beat her grandmother, this is a sure sign of being struck by lightning! Why don't you call down a bolt of lightning to strike her dead You have to be fair! You have to avenge me!"

Ye Wen smiled, a hint of amusement in her voice. "If the Old Master was truly going to appear as a spirit, he'd strike you and your second son first. After all, those who have done evil deserve retribution first. Grandma being struck first wouldn't mean I'm stealing your punishment."

"You—you want me dead!"

“Are you willing to die” she squatted down and stared at the old madam, “You won’t do the first day of the Lunar New Year, and I can’t do the fifteenth. If it weren’t for your idea to kill me beforehand, I wouldn’t end up like this today. Just shout, call all the servants in the house to the front yard, let them see how you, the old madam, look, let them hear what you, the old madam, have done. Do you think they can still serve you wholeheartedly”

She was done, no longer paying attention to the old woman's crying. She stood up and looked at Ye Nighting and Xiao Shi, "And you two as well, the matter of Ye Hongzhuang eloping with the Duke of Su hasn't ended yet. Don't act like nothing happened and swagger under my nose, looking for trouble when there's none. A family of three plus a grandmother, all of you colluding, harming me to death. Do you really think it ends here"

She reached out and gripped Ye Jian's wrist tightly, "I'm telling you, this isn't over. Just because I haven't come for you doesn't mean I won't. One time doesn't mean there won't be a second. It's like how I just went and smashed the Su Mansion again, no reason, just bored and wanted to stretch my legs. Same goes for you guys, who knows when I might get bored again and drag your entire family out from the east courtyard and settle our score once and for all!"

She glared at Xiao, "On the second day of the first lunar month I died once, tonight after midnight is my seventh day. As the mistress of this household, Second Aunt, please handle (harmony) the arrangements properly. If you do a poor job, don't blame me for picking on you."

"Finished! The hand raised high pushed forward with force, the vibrant cityscape was pushed out far by a girl who hadn't even reached his shoulders. This blow sent her crashing into a tree, and without much resistance she immediately spat out a mouthful of blood."

Xiao was terrified and hurried over to check, while shouting: "Murder! Someone is being murdered!"

"Then report to the authorities quickly!" Ye Wenyan was also pale with fear, "They're about to kill someone, and you're not going to report it What are you waiting for A big lord holding a hand towards his own sister-in-law, threatening to beat and kill her! This kind of person is simply sick, he must be arrested by the government!"

"I'm the one who killed him!" Xiao shouted angrily, "Ye Wenyan, you're the murderer!"

"Who did I kill" she pointed at Night View City, "Him But he's clearly still alive. The one who truly died was my father. So go report it to the authorities! Thoroughly investigate and find out who the real murderer is."

"Stop it, you!" the old woman cried again. "There was no murderer! He died of illness!"

"Whether or not there is a murderer, only the government can tell."

Seeing Ye Wen bite his teeth and insist on reporting the crime, Xiao Shi stopped feigning innocence. She only held onto Ye Sheng and asked him if he was alright.

The old madam glared at Xiao Shi, seeing that Xiao Shi was no longer ranting with her. She angrily shouted, "Not a single good thing! There isn't a single good thing in this whole household!"

Ye Wen shrugged, "Isn't that right The upper beam is crooked, the lower beam is crooked. Who can we blame" He turned and helped Mu Shi up, "Mother, let's go back!" Then to Ye Feiyu, "Brother, let's go too! Get some rest early. After midnight, we have to get up and prepare for Ye Si Jie's seventh day of mourning!"

Mu's heart clenched painfully...n tell him about this.”Before Jiang Wanting could react, he called for someone and hurried away.Jiang Wanting was stunned for a moment and then understood. Yes, she had to find Yun Chen. Yun Chen's ta...
