chance!"The Ying family members knelt down in a daze. They apologized, but reluctantly. 。It's not that they truly believe they were wrong; they're just following the head of the household. 。Make the...Inside the carriage, the master and servant duo, having been tricked by Gu Tangshi, were about to jump out of the carriage and fight with Old Madam Ye. 。

The driver outside added fuel to the fire: "Logically, even if a daughter from the Chiang family married into the Ye family, it wouldn't be reasonable to keep the Chiang family trapped in Xiushan County and prevent them from taking the imperial examination! What about avoiding suspicion Even the daughter of the Li family was still the Empress back then, but I didn't see the Li family hiding in some corner to live a low-key life>>> 。It can't be that the mistress of the general's mansion holds more weight and status than the Empress. 。”

Ms. Tang was a little confused, “What does this brother mean…”

Ye Wen smiled, “He means that perhaps there was never a reason for the Jiang family to be relegated to Xiushan County in the first place. Perhaps there is nothing they could do to make the court fear them. The court’s suppression of the Ye family's relatives… these are actually rumors spread by those with ulterior motives.” 。As for who this well-intentioned person is, Auntie should not have guessed it,”

Tang Shi's eyes rolled a few circles, she thought to herself for a while, and suddenly patted her thigh, “It’s Jiang Xiu! It’s all hers. The Ye family holds heavy troops in their hands, if the Jiang family were to rise again, the two families would join forces, and the court might think we were rebelling >>> 。So she, Jiang family nothing can do, just honestly stay in Xiushan County. She will give us money to spend. 。These are all hers!”

Zhu continued to lay a trap for her, “That’s it! Everything belongs to the old lady, and in fact, the court doesn't even know what it is like! It’s all just about how the middleman communicates, you just listen to that…” 。Over these years, we have raised the Jiang family. I ask you, Auntie, did she give us the money for raising them willingly, or did we have to beg her for it” Tang shi snorted again. “How could she have given it willingly! Every time we asked her for money, we would be scolded by her. Although the requests were made through servants, scolding Jiang family servants is the same as slapping our mistress’s face.” 。“ It's no wonder others are saying this. You always ask them for money, so now they look down on you. If the Jiang family had the means to earn their own silver, they wouldn't need to rely on others and could spend it freely.Even though your position as mistress in the Jiang residence should be respected, without silver, you lack any real authority. Without wealth, you can't command respect. Even though you are technically the mistress, there are bound to be those who disobey.” 。”

Mrs. Tang made the two of them almost cry, “You two are so perceptive! Our Jiang family has really suffered because of her these past few years! She just married into the capital to enjoy wealth and luxury, but she blocked our family's path completely. What on earth did she intend to do If the Jiang family had developed well, wouldn’t it have also benefited her”

Ye Wenyan shook his head, “No, no, it’s not like that. The Ye family was powerful back then, controlling a large army and shining brightly, so she didn't care whether the Jiang family thrived or not>>> 。Even if the Chiang family is great, it wouldn't help her much. 。Then, instead of supporting a useless family, it's better to suppress them, making them all listen to her from top to bottom, with her as the supreme authority. Even everyone in Xiushan County would think of her as the number one pride of Xiushan when they hear her name. 。With my grandmother's personality, Aunt Grandma, she would be over the moon. 。" That's right," said Mrs. Tang, "Jiang Xiu has always been a show-off since she was young. I'm also from Xiushan County, and we've known each other since we were both unmarried." 。She's that kind of person who wants everything to revolve around her, making everyone else jealous. Then she acts like she's doing them a favor by giving those below her a little bit of something sweet, and enjoys hearing their words of gratitude. 。"

Mrs. Tang stamped her foot, "These years she's been taking us for a ride, and now even the Jiang family are being held back by her. Otherwise, my son wouldn't have to settle for a girl from the countryside." 。"Those things that have happened are over. Even if Aunt Grandma is still angry, it's already a fact and there's nothing we can change about it." 。It will take ten years or so for the Chiang family's efforts to start showing results, that's too slow. 。"My meaning is, instead of letting the younger generations argue for over ten years later, why not have Grandmother herself set a good example first At least she can live more comfortably." 。Just like those people from Xiushan County before you, who went into the imperial palace’s vegetable storage courtyard and boasted about it for half a year, if you were to properly enter the imperial palace, wouldn't you become Xiushan County's most talked-about person after returning

This statement excited Tang Shi. "Could we actually enter the palace"

"Of course..." 。"As the carriage stopped, Ye Wen raised his hand to lift the curtain and pointed to the red walls and glazed tiles outside. "Isn't this already at the foot of the Imperial City Grandma, look over there, can you see that palace gate That's called Chaofeng Gate, which faces the inner court directly. All female relatives enter the palace through this gate." 。" The soup family was so excited that she rubbed her hands together. “The palace is truly magnificent! Look at these high walls, they must be as tall as twenty people stacked on top of each other No, even twenty people wouldn't be enough. We need at least forty or fifty!" 。"What does it mean for Si Gu to bring me here Is she taking me into the palace" Mrs. Tang couldn't sit still anymore, she got up and stepped out of the carriage, wanting to run forward, but hesitated a little. 。Yè Wēn Yán smiled and got out of the car, personally leading her to the gate of Chaofengmen. 。The guards at the gate were all too familiar with Ye Wen's nocturnal visits. Ever since that night on the 15th of the twelfth lunar month, when Ye Wen had entered the palace holding the Emperor's Soul-Shattering Bell, word of it had spread through the ranks of the Imperial Guard. 。It is common knowledge that Ye SiJie is affiliated with the YanHua Palace. Therefore, no matter when or where you encounter Ye SiJie, you must be polite and respectful. If Ye SiJie wishes to enter the palace, no one is allowed to stop her. 。Furthermore, Quan Qingcheng also issued an order that Ye Si Jie can enter the palace at any time, day or night, and no one is allowed to obstruct her. 。So these Imperial Guards were extremely respectful when they saw Ye Wenyan, especially when they saw the bell still hanging on her exposed half-wrists. They were almost about to kneel down to her. 。The leading Forbidden Army soldier asked her, "Sister Four, are you going into the palace Please come in quickly." 。After finishing his words, he bowed and made a gesture of invitation. 。 The soup clan was dumbfounded and instinctively asked, "Is this really the palace" The imperial guards were polite to Ye Wenyan, but that didn't mean they were polite to everyone else. When he heard her question, the man immediately frowned and said, "Don't be disrespectful! This is a sacred place of the palace, how dare you question it" Tang Shi was startled, and Ye Wenyan quickly said to the imperial guard, "This is my aunt, please pay your respects!" This was the first time she addressed the palace guards in this way, but they didn't find it strange at all. They were even happy because Sister Ye Si was willing to use them, clearly not treating them as outsiders. 。Then, he immediately bowed to Mrs. Tang and said: "I didn't know that my aunt had arrived. I hope the elder will forgive me for my rudeness. Please don't treat us like those other people." 。"He finished, and all the forbidden army behind him unanimously expressed their stance: "Please, Grandaunt, don't be like those with us!" Their voices were loud and clear, and when they shouted it out, there was still a hint of shock. 。Tang was a little dazed by this bowl of noodles, raising her head and saying: “You’re welcome” 。The forbidden army wanted to laugh, but out of respect for Ye Wen's face, they held back. 。Ye Wen said with a smile, "Auntie also saw that this palace has no restrictions on me. I can enter whenever I want, including bringing someone in with me. They won't say anything." 。”。The Forbidden Army immediately replied, "Fourth Sister is right, the Emperor has ordered that the palace gates are open to you at any time." 。"No, no, there's nothing else. Shall we go in now" "Not yet..." 。"Ye Wenyan pulled Mrs. Tang's hand. "Let's just take a look at the gate today and let your grandmother get acquainted with these forbidden army soldiers." 。Entering the palace is a major event. I even plan to bring my aunt-grandmother to meet the Emperor, and it would be best if we could also ask the Emperor for a reward. Only then would the occasion feel truly grand. When you return to Xiushan County, you'll have much more face. 。By the way, Your Majesty's reward can be passed down through generations. This is a family treasure you earned for the Chiang family, and members of the Chiang family will always remember your kindness throughout the ages. 。“ Tāng shì gèng piāo le, shèn zhì yǐjīng kāi xiǎn huà zì jǐ jín guī gù lǐ shí de xíng jiàng. 。But thankfully, she wasn't caught off guard. She knew what Ye Wen meant, today not entering the palace definitely meant negotiating terms. 。Well, why would someone just give you such a huge favor for no reason Everything has a price. 。Then she stopped smiling and returned to the carriage first. 。Ye Wen smiled at the Imperial Guards, and they returned the smile. 。The carriage started, this time heading back to the General's mansion. 。"Well What do you want me to do for you" Tang shi spoke first, also reminding Ye Wenyan, "Let me make it clear beforehand, I can't do things like murder and arson. I know you have a grudge against your grandmother, but don't expect me to kill for you." 。" Don't worry, this kind of good thing wouldn't happen to Grandma," 。Revenge must be taken with one's own hands to feel truly satisfying. If you rely on others, it loses all its meaning. 。So, I won't let Auntie kill or set fires. I just ask that Auntie spend more time with Grandma. She's getting older and isn't feeling well. As family, you should definitely visit her more often and chat with her. 。“ The next afternoon, Tang went back to Fu Lu Yuan. To show her sincerity, Ye Wen also returned the bracelet that she had taken from her last time when she was supposed to compensate her. 。And promised her that, as long as she could take good care of the grandmother, not only would those things be returned, but she would also be given additional generous gifts, ensuring she could return to Xiushan County with great honor. 。Tang was very satisfied with this, and even asked Ye Wen if there were any similar long-term jobs. 。Ye Wen just smiled, then took Ye Chu Lian away from the Fu Lu courtyard, leaving only Tang Shi alone in the room to accompany the old lady. 。As for this, Old Madam was truly relieved. She thought Ye Wenyan had had enough fun, but she didn't know that the Tang Shi who walked in now was no longer the same Tang Shi who stayed behind to help her deal with Ye Wenyan. 。Although the purpose was still there, this time it was aimed at the old lady...s if no one else was around, and the surrounding guests also buzzed with speculation. > 。It’s not that nobody in Lin'an City knew about the fact that Ye Wen had a slave named Ji Nu by his side, but th...
