wer to its limit. 。 Ye Wenxin was deep in thought, while Tang shi remained silent for a long time. However, she wasn't idle; she kept pondering what Ye Wenxin meant when she asked her to guess about...Since Ye Chuchen and Ji Du were both familiar with the people outside the city, she didn't feel any reluctance or fear when Ji Rong escorted her into the palace. She just obediently followed along.

Even if the gates of her manor were locked shut, she believed that Ji Rong would surely be able to take her out. 。Though Suixi wasn't able to go with them, she had her own mission. Ye Wenyan asked her to tell Auntie Liushi not to worry. 。After everyone left, Ye Wen with Granny Ji turned and headed west back to his own courtyard. 。

Grandma Ji told her, "The Emperor seems to get along better with the Miss Zhuai, and Fifth Sister also likes the Fourth Prince."

"Grandma, who told you these things" Ye Wen smiled lightly. "It was Wu Gonggong and Lord Yun who came when your elder sister was outside the city," answered Ji Grandma. 。It's nothing much, just dropping by for a chat and a cup of tea. 。I think those two must be afraid that Madam won't be home and the Matriarch will make things difficult for our West Courtyard. The Lin tea was sent by me, and I only heard it mentioned by Master Wu as a joke, of course. 。She nodded, “These are all favors. I have to remember them, and I'll return them in the future.” 。As for who they prefer to talk to and who they get along with better, that's their business. I'm not trying to play a deeper role by helping anyone out; I'm just lending a hand. 。While Zhu'er might be more familiar with Quan Qingcheng, she is still just a maidservant. I may not mind her status, but that doesn't mean everyone else feels the same way. 。I can't make Empress Yu feel uncomfortable, nor do I want to give Zhuai too many special privileges. 。She's only been with me for a little over a month, and she's already trying to take things too far. The girl is still young, and we need to be careful. If things get out of hand, it could be a problem. 。" She pondered, "As for Chu Lian, this younger sister of mine hadn't interacted with me much before. I didn't even know her preferences..." 。But these past few days, while she helped me in the outer city, it became clear that she was a hardworking girl. She hadn't been corrupted by years of oppression within the estate, nor had she gone astray or become bitter. It was quite rare to find someone so level-headed. 。Now that she's willing to get closer to me, I have no reason to push her away. I can help where I can, as for who she meets and what she says after entering the palace, that's all up to fate. 。" She smiled, "Of course not." 。I heard from Lady Yue, the princess of Guiyue, that these days all the princes have been discussing matters in the palace and resting there at night. 。Just like yours, Chu Lian favors the Fourth Prince. If the two are destined, they will surely meet within the palace. 。As for what happens after they meet, that's up to her. 。Although I don't have high hopes for them, who knows about fate Maybe it's good to let her hit a wall first, so she'll eventually come back on her own. 。" Mother felt a pang of envy, “To have such a sister and such a good master… how fortunate!” 。"The mistress of the Ji's family is also quite" 。Just as the two were talking, Zhuai'er ran over from the front of the road in a flurry. Seeing her, they said, “You’ve found your sister! Sister, quickly go to the front yard and take a look. Bai Ze that troublemaker’s parents have come looking for him!” 。"

Night Wen didn't react for a moment, "Which troublemaker" There were just too many troublemakers. " 。Then Zhu'er told her, "It's the son of that fifth-rank official. My sister even pointed out a scar on his arm." 。Just now the doorman came to report, that fifth-rank official and his wife directly knelt down at our front gate. They said something about Fourth Sister not treating their son, so they wouldn't get up. 。"The little girl described the situation with a breathless excitement, and poured out her own thoughts: 'It's so shameless!'" 。Even Ye Wen felt that this was too shameless. He wanted to ignore it, but the other party came to his door and made a scene, blocking the entrance. Ignoring them wasn't an option either. 。Then she had no choice but to take along the little girl and her wet nurse to go to the front courtyard. 。By the time she reached the front courtyard, many people had arrived ahead of her. She saw Ye Feiyu talking to the couple kneeling outside the gate: "Sir, if you truly have something to request, please come in and speak properly" 。"Just kneeling at the gate like this won't solve anything, and it only embarrasses oneself for no reason. Why bother" That fifth-rank official looked to be around forty years old, very thin, just like a bamboo pole. 。On the other hand, his wife kneeling beside him was very plump, her eyes almost squeezed out by the flesh on her face. 。The old master was short; even kneeling, his wife was half a head taller than him. 。Here's a couple kneeling at the door of the mansion, seeking help. Those who know would understand, but those who don't might think the mistress brought a monkey. 。Ye Feiyu's words were met with rebuttal from the official. He said, "Fear not shame, I only beg that Fourth Sister Ye save my son." 。We won't go in either. We'll just kneel outside the door. If Ye Sijie doesn't agree, we won't get up. 。“Threaten me” Ye Wenyan just walked to the door and laughed after hearing this.The two people kneeling down shook their heads in unison, “It’s not a threat, it’s a plea, begging Fourth Sister to save us” 。"I implore you, why don't you come inside instead of kneeling here " She glanced at the crowd that had gathered around, a smirk playing on her lips. "You are a fifth-rank official, while I am merely a young woman. How could I bear such great respect from both of you Are you expecting me to kneel as well and return this courtesy Does your visit simply mean to witness my kneeling" 。"Fine, then I'll kneel. Let's see who can kneel longer." 。" She was about to kneel, but the two saw this and quickly stood up. The plump wife immediately stepped forward and helped her up, "It's not right for our fourth sister to kneel. We're standing now, we won't kneel anymore. Fourth Sister, please don't be angry" 。"Don't be angry" 。"Facing the stout matron before her, she said, 'I know your intentions. You kneel here to make a scene, to garner sympathy, to show everyone how meek and humble you are when begging me, and to pressure me into treating your son.' " 。How can you not think, I Ye Wenyan is who The witch of the Ye family, how could I possibly care about those reputations 。Moreover, if you are sick, go see a doctor. I'm not a doctor, I am the fourth sister of the First Rank General's Mansion. 。"Sister Four is a divine doctor! She's much better than ordinary doctors." 。"The fat madam unconsciously raised her voice, "Our son needs the best divine physician to treat him. How could those ordinary doctors outside possibly cure our child's illness They are not worthy!"

The thin man quickly pulled her back and stopped her from speaking any further. Then, he moved half a step forward and said to Ye Wen in a low voice, "It's true that the doctors outside couldn't cure him. The wound has festered, the child has been feverish, sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious. If the doctor doesn't treat him quickly, I fear for his life." 。My husband and I are also out of options, so we've come to ask for help from our fourth sister. 。"Sister Four, please show some mercy and come to the mansion to have a look at your nephew!" Night Wenyan remained indifferent, "You can invite a physician..." 。"We won't move the imperial physician." 。" No, no, no, you can ask him to move. After all, your son is like that " 。"He was young and didn't understand. " 。"He's got to be at least twenty, right He's way older than me." 。“At almost twenty, he’s still a child!” The thin man’s face was full of anxiety. “Sister Four, you are a living Bodhisattva who saves the suffering and the helpless. You should save all beings!” Night Wenyan shook his head. "No, no. I think both of you have some misconceptions about my identity." 。“Your son called me a witch, and now you want me to save souls for everyone Who ever heard of demons meddling in Buddhist affairs This doesn't make sense!” “You’re making too much out of this because he’s just a child! How can you be so insistent Are you expecting him to kneel down and beg you” The skinny man, probably a fifth-rank official, was getting angry. “We’ve already humbled ourselves as much as we can, isn’t that enough What do you want, Ye Wenyan To stand by and watch them die is the same as killing! Do you want to kill them”Ye Feiyu couldn’t stand it anymore: “Sir, please be careful with your words! This is the mansion of a first-rank general, not where you can run amok!” Some of the onlookers chimed in, defending the couple: “Night Four Sister, that’s enough…” 。"Everyone is coming to me, just give them a step down and let it go. What's the point of making such a fuss"Night Wen said, "Since they came to ask for help, they should show respect and sincerely apologize. If they only beg but refuse to admit fault, even if I cured that young master's injury, he would still continue to rant and accuse people in the streets." 。"What am I supposed to make of this" she sneered, looking at the thin man. "Kill if you want, do whatever pleases you." 。“

She was about to turn and walk back when she heard the stout madam behind her shout, “Ye Wenyan, stop for me! Don't be ungrateful! Do you think you're still Ye Si Jie from before This isn't the past anymore. Your First Rank General’s Mansion has no military power, no prestige. There is no old general backing you up anymore. What are you so arrogant about”

She stopped and turned back, her face full of disdain, “Hmph, I'm not arrogant about anything. I'm only arrogant because I can cure your son’s illness.” 。"Then you don't hurry to treat him!" "I won't treat him, I'll make you angry to death!" Ye Wenyan laughed, he really wanted to make the two people outside mad. 。Once again about to leave, he discovered that the old matriarch had somehow arrived at the front courtyard as well. She even walked around the screen wall and reached the front gate. 。...Ren was supported by Jun Tao, her hand clutching a cane. After she stood firm, she pounded the ground repeatedly, wailing with anguish: "In times of great calamity, every citizen of Bei Qi has a responsibility and duty to participate. No matter what you can do, even if it's just carrying bricks or picking up tiles, it is a contribution!"She pointed at Ye Wenyan, "You know medicine, so you should even more so exert your talents and contribute to the country and the people..." 。Now that everyone has come to our door, you not only refuse to lend a hand but also turn them away! You are practically disgracing our family! Back when your grandfather was alive, he considered the country his home and cared more about Northern Qi than even our prestigious general's mansion. 。I thought you could be like your grandfather, but alas! We haven't taught you well after all, and you've lost your way. 。"This is a disgrace to the family, a tragedy for our household, what a tragedy!" The old matriarch stood in the doorway, sobbing uncontrollably. The sight of her crying was truly heartbreaking. 。... to the point where many people outside the gates of the General's mansion were also wiping their tears. How good the old general had been when he was alive, now that both the old and young generals are gone, even the children of a first-rank general's household will have to turn over... 。Of all of them, the stout madam cried the loudest and most pitifully. She held onto the elder madame's hand while sobbing, "The Old Madam is indeed wise and righteous, but how could our granddaughter be so heartless My poor son is going to die at her hands! She wants to kill my son!"Suddenly, a long sword shot towards her, its tip gleaming with cold light, precisely aimed at the stout madam's brow...er is right. After all, besides her face, she doesn't really know much about the Fourth Prince. She doesn't seem to enjoy talking with him, and the atmosphere is even quite oppressive. 。It turns out...
