Chapter 252: Who's Trying to Die?

the Crown Prince, there were naturally countless guests attending. Almost every official residence and wealthy household within Lin'an's inner city sent representatives.So this morning's tragedy was...Night Wen listened to this and also wore a difficult expression, “What should we do then It's impossible for one woman to marry two husbands! You two have to choose one after all!” She pondered for a moment with one hand on her chin, "How about this, you two play a drinking game. Whoever wins gets to marry >>> 。"Whoever loses, marries. " 。"Alright, then loser marries the winner." 。"

This sounds like it's settled. Yè Wényán had already pulled Mù Shì back into the chair and even yanked Yè Fēiyù up as well. 。Ye Chu'lian looked at the scene and silently pulled Liu shi to sit on the side of the main house. 。Everyone just watched as the two brawlers shouted loudly: "Five-Star Hand! Six Six Six!" The Yu family was about to go crazy! “Shut up! Shut up quickly!” Yu’s head of household reacted, “This is simply outrageous, what on earth are you doing” Ye Wenyan heard this and was delighted, “Is Yu the elder hasn't had wine before, or never been to a tavern Isn't this obvious, it's drinking games! Whoever wins, no, whoever loses marries your family’s younger sister...” 。Oh, by the way, if this marriage goes through, then our younger sister will be the legitimate wife of our household. This would be a good match for her. 。"Hmph! You filthy scoundrel, you're full of hot air!" The concubine was enraged, rushing towards Ye Wenyan and leaping at him. 。The Müs family and others were terrified, about to step forward to stop 。Ye Wen remained still, but he saw the Ma Ma behind her step forward. She raised a foot and kicked the concubine away. 。I tripped over the chair and fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. I almost fainted. 。Yu Die cried out in surprise and rushed into her arms. Elder Yu "ahh" screamed a few times, then began to shout: "Someone's murdered! Someone's murdered! The Ye family is going to murder us!"Ji Mama walked a few steps towards him and slapped him, "Shut your mouth! You're just a sixth-rank official, what face do you have to scream in front of my sister""You, you dare hit me" Elder Yu was almost questioning his life. 。He, a grown man, was actually slapped by a servant woman! Who would believe this if it got out "I am an official appointed by the imperial court! You, a lowly slave, dare to hit me Does your family still have any laws" Slap! Another slap landed on his face, "As long as I'm here, I am the law!""You, you what" Master Yu was stunned, and all the members of the Yu family were dumbfounded. 。But the Ye family members weren't confused, because everyone in the Ye family knew what kind of identity this granny was. 。You're pathetic. I practice the ways of the Emperor! Even the Imperial Court and its power are nothing compared to that figure at Yan Hua Palace. Stop bothering me, even if you killed me, you'd only suffer in silence. 。Dare the Emperor to not even say half a word, and I can bring down your entire family. The emperor would absolutely never take your side. 。Night Wenyan looked at Yu, who was covering his face, and felt a surge of anger in his heart. Finally, he spoke again: "Alright, stop bothering about our grandmother. Just take care of your own Yu family. Think carefully about what your Yu family has done." 。Don't think that just because my father is dead, our family is easy to bully. Each one of you is being insolent and courting death for whom Take a look at those concubines and the illegitimate daughter, "Go cry back to your own homes! No one here wants to see your crocodile tears. No one wants to lend you their shoulder to bump your head against. You brought your scheming from the backyard to the main hall, but the Ye family won't fall for it!"She paced around the hall, "Also, Mr. Yu, if you are unhappy with the marriage, just annul it! Don't refuse my brother entry while simultaneously pushing the illegitimate daughter at us. Don't think that everyone is oblivious to your petty tricks." 。You're eyeing our family's wealth and status! You're admiring our military might! But deep down, you know this is a good match, and you can't wait for my brother to join your family. 。But you are unwilling to let the legitimate daughter born to the main wife have this good fortune, you only want to give all the good things to the illegitimate daughters born from concubines' wombs. 。"To favor a concubine and destroy one's wife, what great official power you possess, Master Yu!" She spoke with conviction, each word like a knife cutting across the faces of the Yu family members, back and forth relentlessly, never ceasing. 。 "He's making a mess of his own household and now he comes to the Shangguan family, trying to boss around his concubine. This city hasn't seen anyone who openly favors their concubines over their wives like this before." 。"I see your position is nearly at its limit. You don't even understand this basic principle. How can you possibly survive in Kyoto Do you know that if anyone casually reports you to the court, it would be enough to ruin you"

Yu Da Ren’s face turned pale. “This, this is a family matter, it won't reach the imperial court...” 。"Household affairs" Ye Wenyan sneered, "Whether it's household affairs or national affairs, it depends on who you ask." 。The court cannot afford to lose a high-ranking official, let alone a second or third rank one. So if something like this happened in a marquisate or prime minister's residence, the court might truly just turn a blind eye. 。But don't forget, you are only a mere sixth-rank official, someone who can't even enter the court. Wanting to participate in this is too easy for you. 。You're going down, and there are thousands and thousands of people waiting to take your place behind you. Do you and they hope nothing happens to you" Ye Wenyan stared at Lord Yu, her eyes half-closed. In the middle of the night, with her stunningly beautiful face, she looked so alluring that Lord Yu kept retreating. 。“I see now, it seems that your legitimate wife and eldest daughter aren't doing well either, otherwise they wouldn't just stand by and watch you elevate a concubine to such a high position, and teach your illegitimate daughter to be so lowly!”

“You……”

“What Just listen to me, there’s no need for all this chatter! And you——” she said, suddenly her gaze swept across the room, directly landing on Yu Die, “Don't keep staring at my fifth sister with those eyes, I can see through your little schemes at a glance.” 。Well, this is it then. We've ripped off the mask and exposed everything. Yet you still try to find excuses for yourself You want to blame my little sister, do you Think just because she's a concubine's daughter with her own concubine mother, that I can say anything bad about her without repercussions You think I would insult even my own family, is that itShe glided towards Yu Die in a sinister manner, each step appearing to float rather than touch the ground. It was terrifying to watch. 。"As soon as this gets out, it will cause discord between my sisters and bring chaos to our household." 。Miss Yu's family, how old are you Have your scheming thoughts fully blossomed already and you come out to plot against people That's right, you are all daughters of concubines, her mother is like yours, both are concubines. 。But you give me your eyes wide open! This is the residence of a first-rank general, not your Yu family! Even if she is a concubine, she is a concubine of the residence of a first-rank general! Even if she is a illegitimate daughter, she is my illegitimate daughter of the residence of a first-rank general! What do you have to compare with my half-sister And who gave you the guts to slander my elder brother and pour such a basin of dirty water on him”

Night Wenyan’s anger flared up, that was something no one could hold back. She told the Yu family: “Listen carefully to me! I, Night Wenyan, am called a witch outside, but I have never bowed my head to anyone at home!” 。“No matter how you people in the Yu family mess things up behind closed doors, I don’t care. But if anyone dares to bully my brother, I will fight them to the death!” Her outburst left everyone in the Yu family looking like they had seen a ghost. They trembled and shivered, not daring to utter a word. 。To such a degree that even when this concubine was beaten to the point of misery, and the lowly daughter's eyes were filled with fierce resentment, Lord Yu did not dare to inquire further. 。He just wanted to leave immediately. He didn't want to take on any more responsibility that would fall on Ye Feiyu, or else he wouldn't hesitate to have Ye Wenyan eat him alive. 。I've heard of Ye Si Jie's abilities before, but I never expected her to be this powerful. 。With such an amazing daughter-in-law at home, his precious youngest daughter would be bullied to death if she married in! No, no, this kind of family needs Yu Xuanji to come and suffer. 。He began to hesitate, thinking about how he could get out of Ye's house. 。At this moment, a servant from the gate rushed into the hall and bowed: "Reporting to all masters, Elder Sister Jiang has arrived." 。Everyone was puzzled Jiang family Which Jiang family How could there be a big sister visiting in the middle of the night Who is she looking for Yu Da ren felt a thud in his heart. This Jiang family, others might not have reacted, but he did! Because he was too sensitive to the surname Jiang! He was only a lowly sixth-rank official at the Ministry of Justice, unable to even enter court. The only people he faced every day were his superiors, who happened to be named Jiang Feng... 。So as soon as he heard the name "Jiang family," his first reaction was to think of the Minister of Punishment's residence. 。Besides the daughter of the Minister of Punishment, who else in this Lin'an inner city could be called "Jiang Big Sister" He was even more frightened, his cold sweat pouring out, rubbing his eyes again to look outside the hall. Sure enough, he saw a girl who looked somewhat familiar, quickly walking towards them with her skirt lifted, followed by a group of maidservants. 。Yu Die, upon seeing this scene, felt a surge of emotion welling up in her eyes. Though she was also pampered and obeyed at her own home, she couldn't help but feel inferior compared to the legitimate elder sisters of noble families. 。The person who came was Jiang Wanting, and Zhuier quietly returned to Ye Wenyan's side. 。People watched as Jiang's eldest sister walked into the grand hall. She first bowed to the old madam, then to Mu shi, and finally to Ye Jing Sheng and Xiao shi. 。This set of actions is polite and complete, leaving nothing for anyone to criticize. 。After the ceremony, she spoke up. People heard Jiang Wanting say: “Since it's three in the middle of the night for a man to come to the door, there is much inconvenience. So my father did not come, only sent me to apologize to the old lady.” 。The Ministry of Justice did not properly restrain its subordinates, causing trouble for the Ye family. I feel truly ashamed about this. 。Please rest assured, Madam and esteemed elders, this matter will be thoroughly investigated by the Ministry of Justice. Tomorrow, my father will petition the court to dismiss his official position and exile his entire family from the inner city of Lin'an. 。"Grandmother, are you satisfied with this arrangement"

Grandmother didn't know how to respond. She had been the one who insisted on this marriage, so she wasn't happy with how things were turning out.

Ke Jiang Wanting repeatedly said that she was thinking of the Ye family's best interests. The Yu family's actions indeed embarrassed the Ye family. If she continued to lie with a clear conscience, she wouldn't look good in front of Jiang Wanting, an outsider. Moreover, Ye Wenyan would definitely not let her off easily...impossible for someone to do such a thing.”He turned his gaze to Zhu'er again, and angrily questioned, “Who wore the red string And why did you go report it to the officials”Zhui'er has been following...
