Chapter 230 No one can leave before midnight
The couple from the second house had no idea what the Yesheng Dynasty was. After all, the old lady would never tell anyone about it.
Ye Jingsheng was so angry that he wanted to rush out. He didn't want to be locked up in Xu Ming Hall anymore. He wanted to see what Yun Chen and Lian Shi could do to him if he rushed out today.
Unfortunately, he was stopped by palace servants just as he rushed to the door. He wanted to take action, but Lian Shi reminded him, "Second Master Ye, please look carefully. The people we brought are all palace servants wearing purple clothes. You have to consider whether you can afford to do this."
Ye Jingsheng's arrogance was suppressed in an instant.
The Purple-Robed Palace people were from the Yanhua Palace. If he made a move, they would probably beat him to death right here. No one would dare to say anything, let alone stand up for him. He was really helpless. After thinking about it, he simply changed his approach. He turned around and bowed: "I am impolite and have a bad temper, which made you two adults angry. This is all my fault. Please don't mind it." After that, he bowed deeply, very low, with his head bent below his waist.
Lian Shi saw that he had changed his attitude, so he said, "Second Master, you don't have to be polite. Please sit down!"
Ye Jingsheng didn't do it, but kept bowing, and his tone became sincere: "Please tell me what mistakes my Ye family has made, or where we have offended you, so that we can apologize or make compensation."
Lian Shi shook his head, "No offense!"
"What are you two doing..."
"We're just here to visit."
Ye Jingsheng's anger surged again, and his body straightened up, but he managed to suppress it and continued calmly: "You two, let's not beat around the bush. I've already bowed my head, so please don't make it too difficult for me! I beg you two adults."
After saying this, he bowed again, this time even deeper than the last time.
Yun Chen and Lian Shi looked at each other for a while, and then Yun Chen said, "Since the second master has said so much, I will also give you a straight answer."
The Ye family was overjoyed, and they all pricked up their ears to listen. Even the eldest wife became curious.
Yun Chen said, "I came to your house today not to visit you, and I certainly did not come to pick a fight on purpose. But I cannot tell you why I came, and neither can my father-in-law."
Ye Jingsheng frowned when he heard this, "What do you mean? Why can't I say it?"
Yun Chen continued: "What I mean is, we are here for a reason, but it is inconvenient to tell you. Anyway, the two of us will sit until midnight and then leave. You can do whatever you want at that time, and we will no longer control you."
Ye Jingsheng was confused, "What, when?" "Zi Shi."
"Zi Shi? Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy." Yun Chen said, "But if Second Master Ye continues to speak ill of me, then you might be crazy. After all, one of us is in charge of the Imperial Observatory, and the other is guarding the Yanhua Palace. Even if the Ye family has great military achievements, they can't be suppressed. Do you think that military achievements and the like, someone in the Yanhua Palace would care? So stop making trouble and sit back!"
Ye Jingsheng was so angry that he almost laughed. "Zi Shi is midnight. You said you want to sit from morning till midnight? Aren't you hungry?"
"We are eating right now." Lian Shi laughed, "Second Master, please sit down and eat quickly! Otherwise you will starve to death."
The old lady listened to these words and gradually figured out something. She asked in a trembling voice, "But what happened outside?"
This sentence awakened Ye Jingsheng! Yes! Could it be that something happened outside, and the court didn't want the Ye family to come forward, so they directly blocked the Ye family in the mansion and asked people to watch them? But what could happen outside? What could be related to the Ye family?
For a moment, people thought of many possibilities. Ye Jingsheng wondered if the imperial court wanted to kill the Sixth Prince, but was afraid that the Ye family would get involved because of Ye Hongzhuang?
Xiao was wondering if something happened to the Xiao family?
The old lady thought even more. She wondered if one of the old general's subordinates was rebelling.
Unfortunately, no one thought of the point, including Mu Shi. In fact, these two came for no other reason, just because it was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and Ye Wenyan had lost all his spiritual power and was weak. And Shi Liyuan couldn't come in person because he was in the spirit gathering array, so he sent Yunchen and Lianshi to protect Ye Wenyan. He was afraid that the incident on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month would happen again, and that Ye Wenyan would be tormented by his family and harmed again, so he specially forced Yunchen and Lianshi to protect him from early morning until midnight before leaving.
Of course, Yun Chen and Lian Shi didn’t understand why the usually strong Fourth Miss Ye needed such protection, but since the Lord Emperor said so, the two of them had to do as he said, and they had to do it well.
So after a careful discussion, the two of them decided that it would not be a good idea to sit directly in the Fourth Young Lady's yard to protect her. That would make the Ye family think that the Fourth Young Lady might need such protection because of something. What if they left after midnight and they went to cause trouble for the Fourth Young Lady again?
So they came up with this idea. Instead of sitting at the Fourth Young Miss's place, they sat in the front hall of the Ye Mansion. At the same time, they gathered everyone over and watched them right under their noses, so that they would not have the chance to do anything bad.
Because everyone was thinking about something, the Ye family fell silent again. Later, Lian Shi broke the silence and said to the Ye family, "Okay, eat and drink, don't think too much. Anyway, Yanhua Palace has issued an order that no one can leave this room before midnight."
As he said this, there was a loud bang and the door of the mansion was closed.
The old lady shuddered, and instantly felt like she was imprisoned. This happened in her own home. What was she doing? Was she going to search her house? Why did the people from Yanhua Palace search her house? Why did the order not to leave her house come from Yanhua Palace?
However, there was no other way at this point, they could do nothing but accept it.
So the old lady closed her eyes, thinking that it would be best if she could have a good sleep, preferably until midnight, when the two plague gods would be gone. She would then ask someone to find out what had happened outside that day.
Ye Jingsheng was still sitting in the chair, panting with anger.
Xichun watched the scene for a while, and finally decided to go to Ye Jingsheng. He whispered, "Master, I'm scared." Then he hugged Ye Jingsheng's arm tightly and squeezed into his chair to sit together.
Ye Jingsheng felt a little comforted, and thought that at this time, Xichun could seek protection from him, which was his responsibility as a man. So he hugged Xichun in his arms and kept comforting her: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, you don't have to be afraid of anything with me here." Xiao was so angry that her face turned blue, but she had learned from the past, and now she always remembered the old lady's teachings, to be generous, to be able to tolerate concubines, and to treat concubines well.
So after some psychological preparation, he no longer paid attention to Xichun, and just ordered the servants to clear away the bowls and plates that Yunchen Lianshi had already finished eating, and served snacks and sweet soup to everyone.
As always, whenever the servants moved, the palace servants would move as well, and would follow closely no matter where they went.
Ye Chulian looked at this scene and suddenly felt that it didn't seem like anything was going to happen, but rather it seemed like someone was being protected.
She pondered for a while, then stood up and walked around to the main room, sat down next to Madam Mu and asked in a low voice, "Aunt, where is the fourth sister?"
Madam Mu told her: "Yan'er slept late last night, let her sleep a little longer in the morning."
The two spoke in low voices, but the room was too quiet, and Mrs. Mu didn't hide her feelings, so the old lady heard what she said. The old lady was unhappy at the time, and she opened her eyes and said, "Humph, I thought she went outside to see the disaster victims, but she was sleeping. She didn't come to visit the victims these days. You West Courtyard really have rules."
Mu didn't want to talk to the old lady, but Yun Chen picked up the conversation: "Old lady, this supervisor and Eunuch Lian are still sitting here, and you are talking about the fourth young lady like this in front of us? This is too disrespectful to us. Are you slapping the face of the Imperial Observatory or the face of the Yanhua Palace?"
The old lady thought to herself that she couldn't afford to offend either of them, so she had no choice but to say that she had said the wrong thing and asked for their forgiveness.
A new round of embarrassment and silence began in Xuming Hall...
Ye Feizhou, who had left Xu Mingtang, was now sitting beside Ye Wenyan's couch, reaching out to touch her forehead from time to time.
Zhuier was accompanying him, and seeing Ye Feizhou frowning, she said to him, "Second Master, don't try again. The young lady's body has always been cold, and she can't keep warm even with a hot water bottle in her hand." Ye Feizhou was really puzzled, "When did this start? She wasn't like this before!"
Zhuier answered, "It seems to have started on the second day of the twelfth lunar month. That day, the young lady came back from the suburbs, covered in blood, her face was pale, and her whole body was cold, just like... just like a dead person. At first we thought she would recover after a rest, but we didn't expect that she still hasn't recovered after such a long time." After saying that, she felt that she still had some resentment towards Ye Feizhou, so she added, "If she hadn't been robbed and killed on the night of the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the young lady's health would not have been bad. That night, I carried the young lady all the way from the suburbs back to Lin'an City. The young lady was lucky not to freeze to death."
Ye Feizhou was stunned for a moment and lowered his head silently.
Seeing him like this, Zhuier didn't know what to say. After all, the young lady had already forgiven the second young master, and she had no right to keep harping on the matter. And the second young master was miserable enough. He was so thin. A good man was thinner than a girl, and his face was almost unrecognizable. The second master's family was really weird. They harmed their own son like this. Zhuier was thinking randomly in her heart. Ye Feizhou was sitting beside the couch. She didn't know how long he had been sitting there. Ye Wenyan finally turned over, opened his eyes reluctantly, and called him, "Second brother."
He quickly asked: "How is it, are you feeling better?"
Ye Wenyan shook his head, "It's not healed, I still feel uncomfortable, but it's nothing serious, just lie down and sleep, I'll be fine tomorrow."
"Are you sure you don't want to see a doctor?" He couldn't understand why this was so. "If you're sick, you should see a doctor. I've never heard that you can get better just by sleeping."
"You've heard about it, haven't you?" She reached out her hand to touch the pillow, "Did Second Brother come over this morning? He stuffed something under my pillow and talked to Madam Ji?"
She remembered these things vaguely. At first, she didn't know who it was. Now, looking at Ye Feizhou, she remembered that the voice that spoke to Madam Ji seemed to be that of the second brother. In addition, when she stuffed something under her pillow, she smelled a faint jasmine scent, which was the same as the scent on Ye Feizhou's body. The thing under the pillow was turned out, and she waved her hand to let Zhuier go out, then took it in her hand to look at it.
Although he was still feeling uncomfortable, his eyes lit up when he saw these things, and he laughed out loud. "Second brother is really powerful! There are actually six mountains. Look at the acres and volume written on it. These are six real mountains. Second brother, can you tell me what you paid for it?"
Ye Feizhou's eyebrows twitched twice, and he felt like he had fallen into a pit again...
