in her hand Master, we are not cowardly people, but what your fourth sister did that night was truly terrifying. 。" He wasn't surprised at all. After all, someone of the Emperor's status would have t...Xiao left with many things on her mind, and Xichun was dragged along by Mianxiu all the way. She tried to break free but couldn't. Every time she moved a little, it hurt where Old Madam had hit her with her cane earlier. 。
Just like that, she was dragged all the way back to the east courtyard. Xiao Shi stopped, stared blankly at Xichun for a while, then ordered Jinshu to take her back first. She herself walked towards Fulu Courtyard to see the old lady
When she arrived, the old lady was talking with Ye Lianmeng: "I touched the pouch and it felt soft. Even if there wasn't a flower inside, it definitely wouldn't be a waist token." 。Come on, how could a flower and an insignia possibly feel the same They're completely different. 。" Ye Lianmian was also at a loss: "That dead girl, Ye Wenyan, is too strange. Has grandma noticed that since she came back from the Ye Wangfu, one strange thing has happened after another..." 。"It's not just this waist token, it's also the fact that she suddenly pulled out a big stick and killed Grandma before. The more I think about it, the less sense it makes! That stick was so long, longer than her arm, how could she have hidden it in her sleeve" "Jun Tao also chimed in from the side: 'It's not just strange after returning home, it was strange before that too! Does Grandma still remember when she smashed the Duke of Su's mansion Where did that sledgehammer come from Also, I asked Third Sister, at the time, Fourth Sister stabbed herself in the heart with a knife, she really died completely. So why did she come back to life afterwards And after she came back, her whole person was completely different." 。Although she still seems arrogant on the surface, and acts just as imperiously, Grandmother, Second Sister, do you feel that her arrogance is different from before” Ye Lianmian immediately nodded, “I do, I definitely do.” 。Now Ye Wen's night temperature seems...seems..."
She didn't know how to say it, Jun Tao took over the conversation again: "Seems like he's become smarter" 。The more Xiao listened, the more she felt Ye Wen's wickedness. 。But she had thought of more than the old lady, at least she had guessed at some of the reason for this wickedness. 。Just as they didn't know how Ye Wen lived, they also didn't know how she got involved with the Yan Huagong. 。But if we put the fact that Ye Wen and Yan Huagong are related first, wouldn't her resurrection have a basis After all, in this world, only the Emperor of Yan Huagong has such abilities. 。The more Xiao thought about it, the more desperate she became. Once this idea was true, then Ye Wenyan would become an existence that could never be shaken. 。Even if she was still unwilling, she couldn't go against that girl anymore. 。But she doesn't, doesn't mean others can't. 。At this moment, the old lady turned her gaze to the doorway and asked, "Old Second's daughter-in-law, what are you standing there for"Xiao Shi calmed her mind and walked into the room. As calmly as possible, she said to the old lady, "Just now, my daughter-in-law walked a few steps slower and happened to hear Fourth Miss reminding Mother to go and offer incense to Father so as to...""So as to what So as to prevent him from coming to me in the middle of the night to settle accounts with me He has pampered his granddaughter for over ten years, and now she bullies me like this. I haven't even settled accounts with him, and he has the face to come to me And that Mu Qianqiu, talking about being an orphan and a widow all the time. Now I am also an orphan and a widow, aren't they bullying me too"She finished speaking and glanced at Ye Lianmeng fiercely, saying, "If you are heartless and want to go back with your mother, don't come to this Fulu Courtyard again in the future. I will treat you as if I raised you for nothing!"Ye Lianmeng hurriedly said, "Grandmother, rest assured, granddaughter won't go back with her..." 。She gave birth to me, but she hardly raised me. 。Sheng'en may not have been as capable as En Da, but her granddaughter was definitely to stay by her grandmother's side and attend to her. 。”
The old lady was finally satisfied, and then asked Xiao Shi: "Well, are you going to listen to that dead girl's words and go incense"
Xiao Shi shook her head. "My daughter-in-law doesn't plan to go. It's just that she said this, and I happened to hear it, so I came to tell my mother."
“
“Humph” 。The old madam let out a low hum and closed her eyes. 。A while later, I opened my eyes again and sighed heavily. "Well, let's go offer some incense then, at least that's better than staring at corpses." 。
Shu Bai, will you go with me
"Xiao nodded and accompanied the old lady. " 。Though Ye Lianmian still wanted to go with him, she thought that she would have to offer incense and bow to his father at the ancestral hall. She then realized that she didn't really feel any affection for his father, so she decided not to go. 。Jun Tao had been accompanying them the whole way, seeing them all the way to the entrance of the ancestral hall before finally stopping and not going in. 。 Xiao helped the old lady light incense, and she also lit three sticks herself. 。
The old madam muttered incessantly, all she counted were Night Wenyan's faults. What about not listening to the family arrangement and making a scene at the wedding hall, what about rejecting her face several times after returning home, leaving her unable to get down from the stage She even said that Night Wenyan shouldn't be alive, "When your old man left, why didn't you take her with you"
The Xiao family listened, feeling chills run down their spines. They wanted to tell her to stop saying such things, for fear that if the dead heard them, what would happen! Before they could even speak, however, the old matriarch's incense suddenly snapped in half, sending sparks onto the floor and burning a hole in the cushion lying there. 。The old woman trembled, her face turned white, and she looked at Xiao Shi in shock, trembling slightly and asking her, "What's going on" Xiao Shi didn't know what was going on, so she could only comfort her: "Perhaps the incense wasn't bought well, or it got damp" 。But she didn't believe her own words. The old lady's incense had burned out, and it frightened her. Glancing at the incense in her hand, she simply bowed three times without hesitation and was about to insert it into the incense burner. 。Perhaps she had been waiting for the old madam to finish her prattle, and the fragrant tea in her hand had grown cold. 。At the top, there was a long strip of burnt incense ash. When she inserted the incense into the burner, it shook slightly and some of the ash, along with a few sparks, fell onto her back of her hand. 。Her fair skin was scalded and a large blister appeared, causing her to cry out in pain. 。The old lady was frightened, and she dropped the half-burnt incense stick in her hand without lighting it. She turned around and walked away. 。 。Both of them hurried their steps, and as they crossed the threshold, one of them tripped over something without noticing. 。The old madam was supported by Jun Tao who was waiting outside. Xiao Shi had no maidservant beside her, and she fell hard this time. 。Her fear grew even stronger, and she began to regret how she had gotten involved in this trivial matter. How could she have insisted on delivering Night Wenyan's message to the old madam She had intended it as a gesture of goodwill, hoping to frighten the old madam into submission with this statement... 。She scared herself, what is she trying to do The three walked away gradually, and a figure gradually appeared in the ancestral hall, muttering softly: “Do whatever you want, retribution will follow closely behind, it will never be late” 。Yè Wényán watched the three people leave for a while, then turned to look at the ancestral tablets of the Yè family's ancestors enshrined on the table, and quickly found the names of his grandfather Ye Zhènwēi and great-grandfather Yè Jìnguī. 。She crouched down and picked up the fallen incense from the ground, placing it on the floor outside the door. Then, after returning, she also took three incense sticks, brought them to the oil lamp, and lit them. 。Three bows are performed to worship the original owner's grandfather and father, which is also a way to worship the grandfather in one's heart and the deceased father. 。It's a pity, though. At least the Ye family still has this ancestral hall in this life. Those who are alive can come here to worship those who have passed away and burn incense and kowtow. 。But the descendants of Ye's family in later generations were not even given a tomb by anyone. 。Even if all people died, it would still remain hidden and undiscovered. 。The scent of sandalwood is pleasant, calming the mind. However, its presence in this setting evokes a sense of sadness. 。Then, he placed the incense in the burner. Ye Wen didn't leave, but knelt on a meditation cushion and earnestly bowed to his ancestors. 。Then he opened his mouth and spoke softly: "Although I am not your true descendant, I was reborn thanks to the body of Ye Family's fourth sister. Therefore, I offer incense on her behalf, thanking you for having loved her." 。" Unfortunately, her beloved grandfather passed away. Then, sadly, her father followed suit. And shortly after that, she too is gone. " 。She was murdered, although the fatal wound was self-inflicted. But if she hadn't been pushed to a point where there was no other way out, who would have done such a thing Just now, you saw the two of them—ruthless and unscrupulous. They killed our fourth sister and are now coming for me. 。But how could I let them harm me So I fought back, I defended myself. If my methods were a little forceful, please don't mind. 。After all, I'm not a good person either. I've gotten used to hitting back hard when someone attacks me. 。"Actually, from the day I was born into this world, I haven't done anything proactively. They've always come to me with their problems." 。You might not know me, and think I'm the kind of person who only fights back when backed into a corner. 。Actually, that's not true. I am a vengeful person, but because my memory is so bad, I can't remember for long. So I usually get revenge on the spot. 。The reason I haven't taken the initiative these days is that I'm new here and want to give them a gentle impression. 。"
She rubbed her face, remembering how gentle Yunchen was that day. A smile played on her lips, "Later I realized that I couldn't be gentle at all. I couldn't keep up the act." 。So today I'm coming to you all with a message, from now on, I, Ye Wenyan, can't just sit around waiting for them to come knocking anymore. I might have to be the one to knock on their door first. 。
Distinguished elders, please don't be offended. If you really can't bear to watch, just close your eyes first and wait for me to finish before opening them again.
She stood up from the ground and cast one last glance at the tombstones. "These people are your descendants, all members of the Ye family. Perhaps you think it's none of my business as an outsider to concern myself with these matters, but there's no helping it. Since I've inherited this body, I have to bear her karmic debts." 。Besides, her body is as cold as a corpse. I have to fulfill her last wishes before I can live my own life. 。My grandfather and father died in vain, I must avenge my younger sister Wenyan. In this household, who is good and who is evil, who should stay and who must be removed, you shall see for yourselves! 。Outside the ancestral hall, Granny Ji called her, "The eldest sister from the Jiang family has arrived. She wants to take you out for a stroll on the street..." a statement that, if anyone were to make it, shouldn't come from the Regent King," 。I want to remind you again, this is the inner palace, not the court. You are in charge of state affairs, not the em...
