Chapter 21: Whose Fault is This?

aw the two women, he immediately flew into a rage—"What do you have in your hands Are you stealing from the Yu family Stand still!" Hai Fu and Yu Xuanji stood down. Yu Xuanji looked at her fathe...The people in the house were startled by Jun Tao's words.

Someone from the palace has arrived Who could it be Why would they specifically want to see Ye Wen at night

Mr. Mu was the first to speak: "Who wants to see my daughter And what's the reason"

Ye Lianmian's eyes lit up, and a smile spread across her face: "Is it Empress Dowager Is she here because of this marriage and wants to hold Ye Wenyan accountable"

"Lian Mian, be quiet!" Night Feiyu, who was always gentle, was truly exasperated, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Yet Ye Lianmian was still thinking, Jun Tao had already honestly answered Mu Shi's questions: "The man claimed to be the Imperial Inspector General. I had never met him before, but he was definitely from the palace because he came with the former Emperor Da Xing's close attendant eunuch, Wu Gonggong."

Mu fell silent, turning her head to look at Ye Wenyan.

Ye Wen also couldn't figure out why the Supervisor General had sought her out. But she was a stubborn person, never doing something just because someone told her to, and she wasn't someone who would see anyone just because they wanted to see her.

She pointed outside, "No way, none of us can get out. The mistress's men are blocking the courtyard! Please, miss, tell the people from the palace that we're locked up and can't go anywhere."

Jun Tao was about to cry, "Fourth Sister, please calm down. This is a misunderstanding, I beg you to be magnanimous and don't hold it against me anymore. Though I haven't met that official, I have heard of the esteemed position of Imperial Inspector. That department belongs to the Emperor himself, not even our General's Mansion or the royal family can afford to provoke them!"

Everyone in the room fell silent, even the unending night seemed to hold its breath. All eyes were on Ye Wenyan.

Even at night, Ye Wen still said the same thing: "We're locked up, we can't get out, so we just have to follow that adult."

"Sister Four..."

"Shut up!" she waved her hand. "You'd better go back and deliver the message sooner than this, don't keep that person waiting."

She no longer paid any attention to Jun Tao and sat back beside Ye Qingmei’s bed, “Alas, my elder sister broke her head in order to leave this place. If I were to leave so easily now, how could I justify myself to my elder sister’s sacrifice”

"Wen Yan." Ye Qingmei wanted to speak, but was stopped by Ye Wen Yan, who only patted her hand. "Sister, don't worry, I have a plan in mind. I won't let any of those who bullied us get away with it, or else their elaborate schemes would have been for nothing."

Jun Tao stood in the room for a while, but ultimately walked away helplessly.

This Fourth Sister is unyielding, determined to fight for justice for her family. She knows that dragging this out will be pointless, so she might as well go back and consult with the old mistress about what to do. But right now, the magistrate is sitting in the Hall of Clear Declarations. How can she possibly discuss this

Inside the Hall of Declarations, Supervisor General Yun Chen was seated drinking tea, with Eunuch Wu Fei standing beside him.

The members of the Ye family were feeling unwell, with chest pains making their faces pale. They longed to return to their rooms for rest and have the resident physician examine them thoroughly to determine the cause of their ailment.

Yun Chen and Wu Fu just happened to arrive, and they specifically requested to see Ye Wenyan. This made them feel both heartbroken and anxious at the same time.

Jun Tao hurried back to the Nu-Ming Hall and knelt directly in the middle, "The slave girl returned with a message from Qingliang Garden, but Sister Four doesn't know the High Official and refuses to see him."

This was a lie, but she had no choice. She couldn't let the old lady confine all of her fourth sister's family. Whether the people in the palace were with her fourth sister or not, it was unknown. But it was obvious they weren't with the old lady. She couldn't betray her mistress.

The old lady, hearing Jun Tao's words, was furious. "She is utterly brazen! This beast doesn't even put the Imperial Inspector in her eyes!"

The intention behind this statement is quite obvious. It was deliberately said for Yunchen and Wu Fu to hear.

To not treat the Imperial Censorate with respect is a grave offense. Throughout all of Northern Qi, who would dare to disregard it It is an office directly overseen by the Emperor, a place even more esteemed than the royal family itself.

Nightwind's words actually caused quite a stir, and the old matriarch almost burst into laughter. She had brought this upon herself, so she couldn't blame anyone else.

"Damn you!" she spat, showing her true feelings towards Ye Wenyan. She intended to curry favor with Yun Chen, but this single insult ignited a furious response from him.

The person who was calmly sipping tea suddenly changed their expression— "Is Lady Night scolding someone This official came to General's Mansion to see Miss Ye Si, with a respectful and humble attitude. But if Lady Night is going to act this way, then this official will find it very difficult."

"The eunuch Wu Fei standing by also chimed in, “It seems that the fourth sister not only suffered losses at the Duke of Su’s mansion, but also doesn’t live a comfortable life at her own home. Lord Yun, now that the fourth sister refuses to come to the main hall, why don't we go to her We can just take a look and see what exactly is bothering the fourth sister.”

Yun Chen stood up, "Then let's go take a look!"

When the old lady heard this, she saw Wu Fei bowing her head and following Yun Chen out of the hall. Her heart sank like a stone...s. 。"To, to use torture" Old Madam's face turned pale. "Using torture would definitely get a confession. If Jun Tao confessed, then... then why didn't Ye Wen come to seek revenge from us that night" A...
