om shock and also felt a tinge of heartache. 。Of course, feeling sorry for him is not as strong as fear, even though they are his grandchildren. After all, he hasn't raised them by his side since the...Ye Wen's actions had delighted the old lady. Where there is no silver, there are three hundred taels, she wouldn't believe that Ye Wen hadn't hidden flowers at this moment, no matter who it was. 。Besides Old Mrs. Lu, Xichun was also pleased. 。She was the closest to Yè Wēn Yán, at this moment she simply grabbed it, directly pounced on Yè Wēn Yán and snatched the pouch into her hands, then squeezed it. 。The feeling of each little piece inside is clearly the texture of cured plum blossom petals. 。Xi Chun was overjoyed and exclaimed, "There are really flowers! Old Madam, there are really flowers here!" She didn't act like the young mistress at all, she acted more like her enemy, someone who deserved to be targeted by every means. 。Ye Qingmei couldn't sit still anymore, she rushed up to grab it. Mu shi also shouted sharply: "Evil servant! How dare you snatch things from my sister!"Xi Chun directly stood up, quickly ran to the old lady, and while running, she cried out: "Old Madam, save me! The mistress and elder sister want to kill me and silence me!" Ye Qingmei didn't get it back, the purse quickly reached the hands of the old lady, who was carefully holding it now, nodding as she did. 。Yes, it's a flower. This is obviously a flower, even an idiot can tell that there must be a flower inside. 。She was delighted, but she still had to put on an angry face. She asked Ye Wenyan loudly, "Unfilial grandson! Your grandfather spoiled you..." 。Since you were born, your grandfather has considered you a lucky star. Everything in the household is for you, and everyone gives way to you. 。You always caused trouble outside, and it was always your grandfather who bailed you out. When things got tough, your grandfather always had your back. 。I thought you were a filial child, but I never expected this! Your grandfather has only been gone for over a month, and you're already carrying flowers with you everywhere How could you be so disrespectful to him” Hee Chun also chimed in: “Although I went to the plum blossom garden to pick flowers for my sister as well, that was out of necessity. What can I do After all, I serve Fourth Sister.” 。In my heart, what the fourth sister did is wrong, it's unfilial. 。" At this time, Ji Mu Mother again spoke, addressing Xi Chun: "A servant, who gave you the courage to slander your master This in Yan Hua Palace would have you dragged out and beheaded immediately." 。“

Xi Chun was so frightened that she shuddered. Unexpectedly, the old madam said, “This is Ye's household, not some Yan Hua Palace!”

As soon as these words came out, Jun Tao quickly pulled on the old madam and immediately heard Ji Ma Ma say: "The old servant will bring back the old madam's original words to Yan Hua Palace. When we get back, someone will come to ask you about it. What exactly is Yan Hua Palace” 。“ The old lady's heart was in her throat, she wanted to think about something, but the words were stuck in her throat and wouldn't come out. 。Is this situation irreversible Unless she humbly begs Ye Wenyan and the grandmother to reconcile, those two will definitely argue with her to the end. 。She was so humiliated, made to apologize in front of everyone. Would her old face even be left After all, she was the matriarch of a first-rank general's manor! How could she possibly apologize to a servant! Even if it was a calculated move, it was still a servant!The old mistress remained silent, her face twisted into an ugly grimace. But at this moment, Ye Wenyan spoke up, "Grandmother has not even opened the pouch in your hand, how can you be so sure that what is inside must be petals"The old mistress took a deep breath, "What else could it be besides petals You think I'm so foolish that I can't even tell if it's a flower"She was fuming with anger, unable to vent her frustration anywhere. Now, she was taking it all out on these pouches... 。Just then, she flung her purse outward with force, dropping it straight to the ground. Then she shouted at Mrs. Xiao, "Open it!" Mrs. Xiao hurried forward and picked it up. As soon as she touched it, she felt something was amiss. The pouch should have been hard inside, like a piece of jade, yet how could Old Madam and Xichun both be certain it was petals With a puzzled expression, she opened the purse and took out its contents. At that moment, her eyes widened in astonishment. 。It's really a wooden sign, and on top of it is even carved the character "wei". 。That was General Ye's given name, and she recognized this wooden plaque. It was the waist token that General Ye always carried with him. 。Mother, Mother 。She trembled slightly, holding the wooden plaque in her hand and showing it to the old lady. "No, not a petal, it's my father's waist token." 。"The Xiao family's words were all nonsensical, her intuition told her that Ye Wenyan wouldn't let this incident go. " 。As expected, Ye Wenyan followed closely behind and opened his mouth: “This was left to me by my grandfather before he passed away. It’s a memento for me.” 。My grandfather loved me the most when he was alive, so I always carry this with me and think of his kindness every moment. 。Now grandma went to throw it on the ground, you're not throwing me, you're clearly throwing grandpa!" She argued righteously, even wiping away tears: "Think of my grandfather who dedicated his life to the country! When he passed, all the princes came to pay their respects and performed the kneeling ritual. This shows that even the royal family held him in high regard." 。But the grandmother didn't take him seriously and even threw him hard to the ground. 。How could your heart be so cruel Grandfather was so kind to you in life! He brought all the gold ingots bestowed by the palace to pave your front hall, yet you couldn't even show half a bit of sincerity in return And you still insist that there are petals in my purse Could the feel of petals be the same as a waist token Even a fool could tell this isn't a petal! Are you deliberately trying to frame me, or taking advantage of this to beat Grandfather

Ye Wenyan's words almost killed Old Madam. If not for Jun Tao supporting her, she would have slid straight off the chair.

Jun Tao pleaded with Ye Wenyan: "Fourth Sister, goodbye. The old lady is getting older, she really can't take it anymore!"The old lady pushed her away and shouted loudly: "Nonsense! It's clearly a flower, how did it turn into a wooden sign I felt it clearly, it's petals, it's petals!"Mu Shi patted her chest, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down before saying: "You haven't even opened the pouch, so it's a flower What reason do you have Just because you are the old lady, can you talk nonsense with your eyes open She is also your granddaughter, also the flesh and blood of your own son, why don't you care about her at all"Mu Shi asked a crucial question, and Ye Wenyan was also very curious about this. 。Though she is a granddaughter and her father is a son, the old lady now expresses complete disgust and disdain for their family. It's as if she wishes they were all dead. 。 Then think about it, my attitude towards my father didn't seem to be very good either. 。As the father is the head of the household and there's also the elderly grandmother above him, she has to put on airs for her grandmother-in-law and please her grandfather as well. Therefore, she restrains herself somewhat. 。It's converged, and along with it, the mother-child bond has also disappeared. 。In my memory, the old lady was always very kind to her second son. She never smiled at her eldest son and never spoke to him in a nice tone. 。During holidays and festivals, she would serve her second son food and ignore her eldest son. 。Therefore, she was very puzzled, wondering if there was a rift between the mother and son Otherwise, why would a family live like this Mu Shi's question was destined to go unanswered. The old lady fell silent on this topic. 。Yè Wēn Yán stood up, no longer entangled with the matter of the waist card. She simply told the old lady, "You and your grandfather have a deep relationship as husband and wife. This matter should be explained to your grandfather by yourself. As a junior, I'm not convenient to say more." 。Now I have to go back to my courtyard. Grandmother sent people to search it, but my room is piled high with the new gifts the Emperor just gave me. They are all imperial gifts! If even one of them gets broken or someone touches them carelessly, it would be a serious crime! She finished speaking, pulled Mu Shi and Ye Qingmei along, and walked outside. 。Mu Shi was actually also a fiery and quick-tempered person, but because she used to be the mistress of the house, she had to restrain her temper. She always tried to be dignified, elegant, generous, and kind. 。But in reality, she was never particularly graceful. Coming from a family of warriors, she had a temper and would often draw her sword at the slightest provocation. 。Before, she lived her life just as her daughter-in-law, and the reason why the old patriarch was satisfied with his daughter-in-law was also because her personality was exactly like his. 。Now, Mu shi is no longer the mistress of the house. The attitude of the household towards her and her family, a single mother with orphaned children, has completely chilled her heart. 。So she had no further need to pretend to be virtuous and dutiful, and held no responsibility for this home anymore. 。She had to be herself again. Only by being herself could she protect her children, and keep them from being devoured by this family, leaving nothing but bones. 。Thinking this way, Mu Shi forcefully pulled Ye Qingmei's sleeve and said loudly: "Put away your timid and cowardly personality. Learn from your sister, only by being like her can you continue to survive in this family." 。Otherwise, you will be a person who bumps your head against trees for the rest of your life, and our family will be bullied by others for the rest of our lives. 。"Did you hear that" Night Qingmei was startled. She had heard, but to mimic Ye Wenyan's voice... she just couldn't! If she could, she would have learned it years ago. 。Looking at her eldest daughter like this, the Mu family really had no way out. 。Thinking again about the endless night that stretched out without you, my heart feels even more constricted. 。Ye Wenyan held onto her arm and said, "Mother, don't worry. Character isn't something that is formed overnight, nor can it be changed in a day." 。Take your time, I'm here. I'll never let the elder sister be taken advantage of again. 。Once these three had left, Old Madam also couldn't sit still anymore. 。I just feel my heart beating fast, I have a bad feeling about this. 。She glared fiercely at Xichun, her cane finally coming into play, and brought it down on Xichun. 。Xi Chun was beaten and cried out in pain, but she didn't dare to run or fight back. She could only let the old madam vent her anger on her. 。She also couldn't understand why the flower, which she felt was soft and real, had turned into a waist token. She knew what both the flower and the waist token felt like! Even if she didn't open her purse, it shouldn't have softened into something hard!Seeing that she had calmed down after a while, Xiao Shi quickly stepped forward to help her up and said, "Mother, calm yourself. The fourth girl has already gone far away. We should also go after her and see what happens." 。The old lady also remembered this, so she no longer paid attention to Xichun and, supported by Xiao Shi, quickly walked out. 。But she was also angry, angry with Xiao: "Since you are now the mistress of the house, don't let this old woman do everything for you." 。"Show the demeanor of a mistress, and also bring out the prestige of the Ningguo Hou Mansion! Can a mistress be afraid of a maid If you go out like this, people will laugh their teeth out!"

Xiao Shi was scolded and didn't dare to say anything, only nodding: "Understood, daughter-in-law will definitely relieve mother's worries..." 。A group of people chased Ye Wenyan westward to the courtyard. Just as they were about to reach their destination, they heard Zhuai'er's voice coming from afar: "You bunch of bullies! This is Sister Four's house, why are you searching it"e, I also remember bad people. 。I harbor a deep-seated grudge in my heart, with no way to avenge it. If I were to live with this burden forever, I fear that my life would be ruined for the rest of my...
