Chapter 154: A Lone Warrior

d soon his back was a bloody mess. 。Aunt-grandmother Tang was also dumbfounded, her mouth constantly exclaiming: "Crazy! This is a crazy person!"Indeed, Mrs. Xiao was about to be driven mad because sh...His Royal Highness, Dust King, Quan Qinghua watched the old woman's shameless performance with a growing chill in his eyes. 。Feng Zhaolian, watching this scene across from her, immediately grabbed Ye Wenyan's sleeve and said, "A-Yan, you need to be mentally prepared. Something might happen." 。" Night Wen said puzzledly, "What's the matter" She pointed to Quan Qinghua's seat, "Look at his eyes, do you feel they are colder than before This is his angry expression. If your family's old lady continues to act like this, I'm afraid Quan Qinghua can cut off half her head with a single sword." 。"So violent" Yè Wēn Yán looked towards Quán Qīng Huà, and indeed saw that person's eyes filled with frost. Their emotions were clearly on the verge of losing control. 。"The Fourth Prince doesn't seem like a violent person." 。That's something you don't know 。"Feng Zhaolian told her, "I know this man too well. When he's calm, he's like a masterpiece painted in ink and wash, but once he gets angry, it's like the King of Hell has descended. He won't stop until there's blood, and he won't let go until someone is dead." 。"

Mu shi stood up, her face contorted with anger, and glared at the old lady. "Mother, you're having a delusion again. Yan'er has been staying in the mansion these days, she hasn't gone anywhere, why do you insist she went to Chenwangfu The daughter-in-law knows you're angry with Yan'er because of what happened with the third young lady and the sixth prince, but this matter is ultimately your fault for sending the third young lady to marry him behind our family's back. You shouldn't blame only Yan'er." 。 。"Mu Qianqiu, be quiet!" The old madam was furious with the Mu clan, "I'm not delusional, I'm not sick at all. You know in your heart whether your daughter is lost or not, and everyone in the General's Mansion knows it too." 。On the fifteenth night of the twelfth lunar month, many people saw you going out to look for someone. You can't deny this! The Fourth Prince admitted it in front of all the officials and ministers. What are you arguing about”

Amongst the princes, Quan Qinghua put down his cup and said, “What I am a member of the royal family, can’t I invite my fourth sister for a cup of tea Is Madam Ye saying that as long as a woman drinks tea with me, I have to marry her Then there are too many people I would want to marry…” 。“Done, he looked at Feng Zhaolian, "Princess Zhaolian often had tea with this king when returning to the moon. She even drank wine just now. Could it be that Lady Elder wants this king to marry her But she is here for a marriage alliance, with Lady Elder arranging like this, where does this put the Emperor"

Quan Qingcheng was also angry, "Lady Night Elder has ruined her granddaughter's reputation so badly. Could it be true as Lady Night elder said, that she has gone mad If it is truly madness, then find a doctor to take a good look at her. One cannot let the Old General worry..." 。"If this isn't a delusion, then I must ask, how did Fourth Sister offend Lady Mother And why would you ruin her reputation so shamelessly in front of all these people Besides, my fourth brother is part of the royal family, when does his marriage come to be arranged by a mere common woman Even the two Empresses have nothing to say about it, isn't Lady Night being too disrespectful to herself"The old lady trembled with anger, "Old woman, I am not ruining her reputation, I am doing this to preserve her honor" 。"The festival was her own downfall, I'm only trying to find a way to make amends for her!" The old lady stomped her foot and glared with both eyes. 。Empress Dowager Yu was a little displeased, "Is Lady Ye trying to challenge the Emperor General Lao has a lifetime of military achievements. He is someone our Northern Qi Dynasty should always admire and remember. Does Lady Ye think that because she is accomplished, she can control the emperor and even disregard him" This statement was somewhat harsh. As soon as the words "achievement high and dominating the master" came out, Lady Ye didn't even think before kneeling on the ground, cold sweat instantly appearing on her forehead. 。"Your humble servant wouldn't dare. It's just that my granddaughter is in a rush, I truly didn't mean to challenge Your Majesty, and I would never disrespect Your Majesty and the two empresses." 。Your Majesty, please forgive me. Empress Dowager, please forgive me. 。"It wasn't that I looked down on the Emperor, nor was it that I meddled in matters the Empress Dowager should handle. It was because he came for me." 。The Ye family is truly capable. It seems that in the past ten years since this king left the capital, there have been quite a few changes in Lin'an City. 。"Lady Tang Miao Wen, who was sitting at the table, couldn't help herself and spoke up: “Madam Ye, on that night of the fifteenth day of the lunar month when your fourth sister went missing, people even went out to search..." 。My family is from the Lin'an magistrate's household. How come I haven't heard of anyone going out to look for my elder sister Instead, I heard that many people are going to look for the third sister of a certain lord who was lost at night. 。Oh, also the Duke of Shu's mansion caught fire. Lin'an Prefecture even sent people to help with the firefighting efforts. That's about it. It has nothing to do with Fourth Sister. 。" Lin'an Prefecture brought denial and even shifted the blame onto Ye Hongzhuang, which made Old Madam Xiao particularly angry. 。But compared to Ye's grandmother, Xiao Lao Fu was much more intelligent. 。Although she ached for Yèhóngzhuāng in her heart, she also knew that the Ye family was making a fuss right now. She absolutely shouldn't get involved, otherwise she would be looking for trouble and causing trouble for the Níng Guó Hóu Fu. 。Mrs. Xiao said nothing, neither did Ye Hongzhuang, not even the Sixth Prince who had burned down the Duke's mansion remained silent. 。On the field, only Lady Ye was fighting alone. The old lady felt a little lonely. 。Yè Wēn Yán finally spoke, although Old Madam had been meddling in her marriage and besmirching her reputation all this time, she seemed unaffected. Even as she spoke, she was using chopsticks to pick up dishes. She said, "On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, when I came out of the temple, I encountered Prince Chen. Prince Chen also invited me for tea..." 。But I'm just a tagalong. They actually wanted to invite my brother for tea, and they just brought me along. 。Later, since I had tea too late, I stayed overnight at the temple. The next day, I returned to Beijing with my brother. 。If the grandmother is to go there, then the brother must also marry into the Chen Wangfu. 。"Seeing that she ate with a bit of dryness, Feng Zhaolian also asked the palace maid who came back with Ji MaMa to pour her some wine. 。Ye Feiyu stood up immediately and swore, "That day the lamp didn't finish burning, so I stayed in the temple for an extra night. Yan'er was there too, and we returned to Beijing together the next day." 。" Then Ye Chulian also stood up, timidly saying: “Your servant girl can also testify. The Fourth Sister went back to the capital with the eldest brother, and after that, she has always been at home, never going out." 。" Mrs. Ye took several deep breaths, which was the only way she managed to not be angered to death. " 。She glared fiercely at Ye Chulian, her mind already churning with over a hundred ways to deal with this lowly concubine's daughter. 。That would have to wait until after we return home. Right now, I'm all alone facing so many of them, it feels like I'm at a disadvantage. 。She opened her mouth, without anyone to help her, even Lady Xiao and Empress Li, who had once fought alongside her, didn't want to get involved. If she insisted on marrying Ye Wenyan to Prince Chen, things would have been quite difficult today. 。Then she also learned to be clever, if one plan didn't work, she would come up with another. Since she couldn't marry into the night, she had to find a way to get her son out of Qihua Pavilion. Anyway, she couldn't come to this palace banquet for nothing, she had to achieve something. 。Mrs. Ye changed her direction, no longer mentioning the matter of requesting a marriage decree. Instead, she asked Mu Shi: “Since your daughter wasn't lost at all, why did you imprison my son You kept my second son in Qihua Pavilion for a whole month, beating him every day. You used the excuse that they had lost your daughter to do such a vicious thing, Mu Qianqiu, what exactly are you thinking”Night Wenyan finally put down his chopsticks, and with a snap, he slammed them on the table. He leaned back in his chair, crossed his arms, and stared straight at Mrs. Ye with a pair of eyes that were so beautiful they were frightening to look at. 。Her face was still pale, and with her current expression, she didn't look like a living person at all. 。 "It's such an embarrassing thing for the uncle and aunt to fight at home. How could grandma be so embarrassed to go out With three people in the family, only the second aunt is not involved, only the second uncle and Flying Boat brother" 。One is a general, the other a martial arts master since childhood, and they were actually locked up by my mother, a woman! Doesn't Grandma think this is a bit embarrassing Don't even mention it, lest people laugh at us. 。” The old lady was still kneeling. Everyone else was standing or sitting, but only she remained kneeling. She felt her presence was simply inferior. 。Since neither the Emperor nor the Empress Dowager had called her name, she couldn't initiate a conversation herself. This made her a little bit irritated. 。But it was still clear-headed, and he knew how to continue Night Wen's words: "It can't just be a family affair. Your second uncle is an imperial official, privately imprisoning an imperial official and preventing him from going to court, this is a national matter!"Quan Qingcheng continued the conversation: "I remember General Night II has been on leave for a while, supposedly injured…" 。“He was injured, his hand burned by fire,” someone immediately replied. 。“ It was then that Lady Ye shouted, "It was Night Wenyan who burned me! I beg the Emperor to make a decision. As my niece, she dared to burn her second uncle's hand. Such a woman is truly vicious!" Jiang Feng couldn't bear it anymore: "Hmph! A distinguished general, who could be burned by a fifteen-year-old child What kind of general can he be if he cannot even fight enemies and protect his country" Madam Jiang also said, "Then I ask Lady Ye, why did your fourth sister burn her second uncle's hand..." 。" Madam Ye wouldn't agree, but she had a granddaughter who could back her up. " 。Then Ye Chulian said, "It was because that night my father slapped my aunt that Fourth Sister got angry." 。"It was my father who made the first move!" The old matriarch was so angry she nearly fainted. She shouted at Ye Chulian, “You ungrateful wretch! Can't you tell right from wrong That's your father! Your own biological father! You would harm your own father like this"Ye Chulian felt particularly righteous today, and she replied to the old matriarch, "Back when grandfather was alive, he said many times that a person must be honest..." 。The granddaughter always kept this in her heart, never daring to forget it for a moment. 。So now, the granddaughter only speaks truthfully. If what her father did is indeed reasonable, I believe Aunt and Fourth Sister will definitely let him go. 。If what he does is wrong, then grandma shouldn't blame aunt-in-law all the time. 。"ater 。"My Lord… Mmm…"Before she could finish her words, a sudden kiss silenced her.He saw the little girl's arms wrap around his neck, her wide sleeves sliding upward to reveal half of her arm. 。White...
