Chapter 141: Three Women, One Play

ing.Just as this bout of wind finally died down and I was about to unleash my anger, Old Nanny silenced me with a single sentence: "Please, Mistress, be careful. Don't use too much force. Old Nanny t...Before Ye Si's sister, besides her best friend Jiang Wanting, there was also Chi Feifei who often played together.

Chi Feifei was not as bold and fearless as Jiang Wanting and Ye Si. After all, although the magistrate of Lin'an had some power, it was still far less than the military might of the Ye family or the influence of the Jiang family, the Minister of Punishment.

But Chi Feifei, this girl is wicked. She's the kind who you wouldn't find fighting, but she's really good at finding small opportunities to stir up trouble and take sides. She's very skilled at it and quite enthusiastic about it too.

Mother Mu watched as the three daughters flexed their fists, and glanced at her eldest daughter who was also eager to try. She had initially wanted to stop them, but now she changed her mind and let them be.

Jiang Fu ren Lan Meiyu saw that she did not stop her, and smiled with pleasure: "This is right! You these years, in order to cooperate with the Ye family to be a dignified and elegant hostess, you almost wore down your own nature. I'm looking at it and I'm worried for you. If the Ye family could let you continue like this, it would be fine, but unfortunately, the times are not favorable, the Ye family is now rising up in rebellion, so you can no longer live as before, you have to bring back your Mu family eldest sister's aura."

On the side, a plump madam just like Chi Fei Fei squeezed over and chimed in: "That's right, if it really doesn't work, just kick their old nest and establish a new one!"

The two men glanced at the plump wife, both with a look of helplessness. Mrs. Mu: "Miaowen, don't always act like you're going to war."

"Aren't we going to war" The plump madam chuckled, "Isn't the Ye family just having their young master fight in battle I just hope Sister Mu can win, so don't lose the momentum of your Ye General."

Mrs. Tang Miao Wen, known as "Pool Madam", had always been close friends with Mrs. Lan Meiyu, "River Madam," and Mrs. Mu Qianqiu, "Night Madam." However, compared to the relationship between Lan Meiyu and Mu Qianqiu, hers was a little less profound.

This actually stems from her husband, as he is the magistrate of Lin'an Prefecture. He has always maintained neutrality and doesn't get too close to any official, nor does he have any particularly bad relationships with them. Only by doing so can he fulfill his duties as magistrate fairly and without needing to play favorites.

But the Jiang family of the Ministry of Justice and the Ye family's main branch had an exceptionally close relationship. Not only were the women friends, but so were the children, and even the two men got along very well. This led to Madam Chi, Tang Miaowen, feeling a bit out of touch with the pace of their friendship. She was afraid that any jokes she made, whether too deep or too shallow, might displease Mu Qianqiu and Lan Meiyu.

But that was in the past. Now, she's incredibly bold in front of these two because her man, after staying neutral for so many years, has finally decided to take sides, and he's chosen Night Four Sister's side.

In his words, that woman is amazing! Back then, with General Ye protecting her, she became the infamous beauty of Lin'an City. Even the emperor's own son couldn't escape her charm and willingly accepted the engagement. Now that General Ye is gone, she has hooked up with Yanhuagong and is even protected by His Majesty himself! Is this a joke What are we waiting for at this point to choose sides Even if the royal family could protect their own people, it's only within Beiqi. The Emperor protects the entire continent!

Regarding the relationship between Ye Wuyan and His Majesty, on the fifteenth night of December, Chi Hongfang saw it with his own eyes in Yanhuagong. The shock brought by the combination of gods and demons was so great that he didn't dare to tell his wife the truth. He only pretended to be busy helping his sister, Ye Si, under the guise of attending to matters concerning Yun Chen, the respected Minister of Cloud Affairs, and Lian Gonggong, the eunuch of Yanhuagong. In addition to Yunchen and Lian Gonggong, there was also Wu Fei from the Internal Affairs Bureau, who also helped Ye Si. Therefore, Chi Hongfang decided to follow these three people in helping Ye Si.

Mrs. Chi was a very intelligent woman. Her husband only needed to say a word, and she immediately understood what he meant. Besides, she enjoyed spending time with Mu Qianqiu and Lan Meiyu. When she heard that her husband had been pardoned, she was overjoyed.

These three women are not to be trifled with. Even though Mu Qianqiu is relatively more composed, being from the Mu family of martial artists means she naturally has a high level of combat ability.

So, given the current situation where Tang MiaoWen and her other children are all out fighting, she felt that this was indeed the case. Since they were already fighting, there was no need to stop them for just one night, so let them fight!

As the four girls walked to the table, Mu thought for a moment, then pulled Ye Chulian along and quickly followed them. Behind them, Jiang's wife pulled Chi's wife and also followed.

A group of people stood stiffly in front of the table, and many people looked over at them.

Old Madam Ye was still chattering nonstop, gossiping about family affairs, her words seemed endless. Those old women acted as if the people standing behind them didn't exist. They continued talking and sipping tea, not a single one hurrying up to return to their own seats and give the Ye family space. One girl even elbowed Night Chu Lian aside and sneered, "Who are you Don't stand here blocking the way, you have no sense of decorum. At first glance, you look like a lowly concubine's daughter."

Ye Chu Lian took a deep breath, trying her best to calm herself.

These days, can you tell a legitimate daughter from a concubine's daughter just by looking at them

A young woman, dressed in the finery of the night, approached an elderly lady. She took the teacup offered by a palace maid and carefully poured some into the elder's cup, saying as she did so: "Grandmother, please have a taste first to see if it's hot enough. Don't burn your mouth."

The old lady nodded, took a sip of tea, and expressed her satisfaction.

The woman was overjoyed and asked eagerly, "Grandmother, I've noticed your shoulders have been aching lately. Let me give them another knead! The palace banquet will start soon, and it will last at least two hours. I'm worried you'll be uncomfortable if your shoulders hurt."

Then the old lady said, "Then just pinch it!"

The girl giggled and went off, kneading her shoulders.

There was also an elderly woman accompanied by her granddaughter. The granddaughter was peeling fruit for her grandmother, removing the skin and seeds before passing it to her. This way, her grandmother could enjoy a ready-to-eat piece of fruit.

Ye Wen stood there for a while, then reached out and poked the woman who was massaging the old lady's shoulders. "Hey, which family are you from Shouldn't you go back home to serve your own family dinner The real master of the Ye household is here, so the one who has taken over another's nest should move out."

In Lin'an City, who doesn't know Ye Si Jie Not to mention anything else, just relying on her stunningly beautiful face alone is enough to make people instantly recognize her. What's more, this sister had met Ye Wen Yan before and even once defined her as the most hated person in her life because she received an engagement with the Sixth Prince due to Ye Wen Yan.

Seeing Ye Wen talking to her at night, she immediately became unhappy: “Sister Ye Si, you don't differentiate between seniority and respect With so many elders sitting here, why are you speaking out of turn Regardless of who I am, we are all guests invited by Old Madam Ye. Is this how you treat your grandmother's guests”

This remark caused quite a stir among the older women. The one who had her shoulders pinched retorted to Madam Ye, "Your people really don't know their place! How can they speak to elders like that And what do you mean 'occupying the magpie's nest' Are you accusing us of something Oh dear, I've lived this long and never been scolded by someone younger than me!"

The one who had been stripped of her fruit also spoke up: “Although a family of martial artists is considered less refined than a family of scholars, this can’t be called being unrefined anymore! It should be considered upbringing. This child lacks upbringing!”

And there was an elderly lady who had just picked up the tea poured by her granddaughter, blowing on it as she said: "Back then, she could force the old general to enter the palace to propose marriage for her. Now, she can brazenly live in the Fourth Prince's mansion. What kind of upbringing does such a child have"

"Look at our granddaughter, she's worth every bit of raising."

Lady Ye's face was dark, she occasionally supported her aching waist by the door and rubbed her arm that was pinched at the palace gate, sighing repeatedly: "You are all right. My granddaughter is really raised in vain. Alas, the main reason is that the daughter-in-law is not good, the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam is crooked, even the mother is no good, how can the daughter she gave birth to be any good I don't know how the Mu family raised their daughters before. If I had known this, old lady, I wouldn't let her step into the Ye family!"

Mu Qianqiu's face turned red with anger, Lan Meiyu and Tang Miaowen were also furious and ready to step forward and argue.

At that moment, the old woman who was having her shoulders comfortably kneaded suddenly let out a shrill cry, "Ow!" and slapped her granddaughter's hand away. Fortunately, she remembered they were in the Phoenix Soaring Hall, so she didn't scream any louder. Instead, she gritted her teeth and hissed, "Do you have iron pincers for hands Are you trying to kill me You useless thing! You can't even knead a shoulder properly without nearly killing me. What else could you possibly do"

Rubbing his own shoulders while grumbling, he suddenly winced in pain as soon as he touched them, tears welling up in his eyes.

Did you crush her shoulder Otherwise, why would it hurt so much

Here, the obedient granddaughter who was giving her grandmother a shoulder rub just got into a car accident. Right after that, the one who was peeling fruit accidentally didn't remove a pit and cracked their own grandmother’s half a tooth with a loud "crunch".

The old woman covered her mouth in pain, unable to speak, tears streaming down her face.

This wasn't over yet. Earlier, the granddaughter who had been serving tea was now holding a teapot to pour for another elderly madam. Just as she poured it onto Mrs. Ye, something happened—her hand slipped, and the teapot flew from her grasp, landing directly on Mrs. Ye.

Only two cups of tea were poured from the full teapot before the remaining water was used to rinse Ye Laifu's new garment.

Ye Wen said "tsk tsk" twice, shook his head, and addressed the old woman from the teapot family: "Just now this elderly madam was talking about upbringing issues. Oh, I thought your children were well-raised, but I didn't expect that they would throw tea water on my grandmother! How is this child being educated Quickly have your child apologize to my grandmother!"

The sister who had dropped the teapot immediately got angry: "I didn't do it on purpose, why should I apologize to her"

Ye Wen said, "No matter if it was intentional or not, you still lost your hand. You should admit your mistake. Besides, even if you were not wrong, just because she is Lady Ye and your elder, you should show her respect."

Then, this sister said—ng reminded him, "Send a trustworthy person to ask around at the palace gate. Don't ask directly, be strategic. You need to find out the truth without revealing that Night Five is missing." 。"Yes!" Qu...
