Chapter 353: This Matter Is Top Secret

is the title of concubine. It's impossible to climb up to the position of empress, that's the rules.'" 。The emperor could have countless concubines, but he could only have one empress. 。So don't worr..."Sister, are you still cold" Zhuier watched Ye Wenyan's face grow paler and paler, her fear growing with each passing moment. This feeling was just like the night they were trapped outside the city on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month... 。At least she is at home, which allows her maids a little peace of mind. 。Ye Wen was still trembling, the chill came from deep within his soul, a real feeling of dread from the presence of the fourth sister of the night. 。Even with her spiritual energy suppressing it, she couldn't withstand this icy chill. 。If everything Mrs. Tang said is true, then the two old masters of the Ye family might not necessarily be the children of the old general. 。Either not both, or only one is. 。But no matter which kind, it was enough to drive a man already bedridden with illness to death. 。My memory of the General Ye Lao was a very jovial old man, always grinning at Fourth Sister Ye and willing to help with anything. 。Even her usually untouchable long sword, Ye Sijie wanted to touch it, and he personally took her hand and placed it on the blade. 。In my memory, Night Fourth Sister was the one the old general favored most in this manor. So if the old madam suddenly told him that his eldest son wasn't biologically his, but hers with another man, wouldn't that be enough to drive a person madBecause the son wasn't biological, this granddaughter would definitely have no blood relation to him either 。He poured so much love into it, but in the end, it all came to nothing. Such a bitter taste, no one could bear it. 。But there were also things that felt off. The way the old madam treated the first wife's family, and her attitude towards me... 。If the eldest son was born to her and her lover, then she should be more partial to the eldest son. 。Throughout the years at the Ye residence, Old Madam clearly favored her second son and treated the eldest son like an enemy. It was clear she had ill intentions towards him. 。While General Ye was alive, he clearly favored his eldest son. Although he didn't mistreat the second son's family, their situation back then was indeed not as good as the eldest son's. 。According to General Ye Lao's character, if he didn't know something, he wouldn't treat his two sons differently. 。Night's family was far more complicated than she had imagined. 。Previous generations, the generation before that, they all had their own grievances, their own secrets. 。She promised to avenge the original owner and she absolutely had to avenge the original owner, or else she wouldn't be able to live a good life either. 。Having this kind of body, even with such a powerful force, she couldn't suppress her spiritual energy. Not even Shi Lifen could, so what choice did she have Besides, this was karma. She came here, taking on the identity and body of Ye Si Jie. She had to bear the consequences, every person Ye Si Jie met from birth to death, and every experience she had. 。Although I didn't feel much sense of belonging to this family, and I couldn't feel closer to my mother Mu, since I'm already here, I have to participate in what I should, and take responsibility for what I should. 。Everyone has their own life, but she lives the life of two people. 。This mansion at night, it's impossible to leave without getting a little... stained. 。Back in the room, the chill on my body finally subsided, and the pain in my chest wasn't as sharp. 。But this time "falling ill" still reminded Ye Wen of the original owner. She had never forgotten the hatred left in this world, and she had always been using that hatred to imprison her in this new life. 。Whether it's the boundless sea or the clues to the revival of the five meridians, or even the lifespan of humans, everything she wants to explore and seek must be accomplished before fulfilling this vengeance. 。Unable to avenge her, this body could never be fully hers, and she would never find peace. 。"Has Elder Sister recovered a bit" Zhu'er was still worried about her. 。Night Wen Yan nodded, "It's better now, not so cold anymore." 。Tell the doorman that if Auntie comes to leave, don't stop her. Just let her go back. Also, return the jewelry she had on to her. But at the same time, remind her that this isn't over. Even if she returns to Xiushan County, once she hears anything she thinks is valuable about me, she should write it down and have someone tell me. 。"

Juaer pouted, “Sister, what if letting Tang shi go back means we can't get her back”

She chuckled, “Firstly, Tang shi isn’t a tiger, and Xiushan County isn’t really a mountain” 。Next, as for whether or not I can get it back, that depends on my ability, rather than on her. 。You are with her now. Her and her grandchildren's lives are all in my hands. If she doesn't listen to me, tomorrow I will have the entire Chiang family bury themselves with my grandfather, not a single one can escape. 。If she could truthfully convey the message to me, I would keep my promise and ensure she lives a good life in the future. 。"

The child had no more questions and hurriedly left.

Instead, Granny entered the room and watched for a while before running out. She then asked Ye Wenyan, “Sister, are you sure that the old general’s death was caused by the old madam When I walked over just now, I overheard a few words between you and Zhuier. Sister, aren't you suspecting that the Jiang family still knows something Or could there be any leads from Xiushan County that could still be traced” Ye Wenyan nodded, “Perhaps! I always feel that the Jiang family is not simple. The old madam wouldn’t have simply stayed in Xiushan County with her family after her father retired, and continued to support the Jiang family for so many years.” 。She is not a generous person, nor is she particularly kind. But for someone like her to have been supporting her family for so many years financially suggests that they must have something on her. 。But this secret, Great-aunt didn't know it, maybe Great-uncle knew it, or perhaps other people in the Chiang family knew it. 。"Have you any guesses as to what leverage they might have" Ye Wenyan shook her head. "I don't know yet, but perhaps it has something to do with a secret." 。She will tell Grandma Ji about what she heard from Mrs. Tang, and then ask Grandma Ji, "Grandma, do you think the secret that could anger my grandfather to death might be Mrs. Tang's"

Grandma Ji thought for a while, slowly shaking her head and saying, "Apart from whether or not Mrs. Tang's speculation is true, even if it is, sister doesn't think the old general has really been foolish these years, does she"

Ye Wenyan also laughed, "It seems that Grandma still understands me and sees things more clearly." 。“ Actually, Sister already has an idea in her heart. Old slave's guess is not far from Sister's.” 。The old general's attitude towards the first and second wives over these years has made some problems clearer. Even if he doesn't know everything, he can still tell the difference to some extent. It's just that he doesn't know why the old general can endure it, nor does he know where the old madam gets so much courage. 。"

Ji MuMu hesitated for a moment before continuing, "But if the old general already had an idea about this matter in his heart, then the secret that would anger him shouldn't be this..." 。Thus the question circled back again, what was her secret Ye Wenyan sat down, took a sip of warm tea, and slowly said, "Every event is not innocent, but there is always a final straw that breaks the camel's back." 。Actually, this straw has been right in front of us all along, but we haven't even considered looking there. 。"

Jì māmā was taken aback, and it took her a long time to say: “Sister is referring to… General’s matter”

Yè Wēn yán nodded, “Yes, it’s about my father” 。Perhaps the old woman's secret had nothing to do with the scholar and the child. She only told my grandfather that her eldest son was about to die as well. 。"Do you think our grandfather would die of anger" "Yes," 。“Grandma, this time she answered quite readily,”"Anyone else would have been pissed off." 。This was his only biological son, yet he ended up dying at the hands of this vicious old woman. How could he not be enraged The slave still couldn't understand. Even if the old lady had no feelings for the general, even if she disliked her and the general's sons, they were still flesh and blood from her body. How could she bear it Furthermore, if she had been intimate with that scholar before marriage, wouldn't the first child logically belong to him”

“Not necessarily” 。"Night Wen said, 'She was probably just attracted to that scholar while she was at her family's home. They had some contact but nothing more intimate. After all, no one would be so bold as to lose their virginity before marriage, because on the wedding night, it would be discovered by the husband.'" 。So the first child is fine, the problem must be with the second. 。“As for the matter of whether or not she'd be willing to give it up, if a woman hates a man to her very core, then there's a chance she might hate his children too! Or...or maybe my father knew something and had to be silenced." 。She rose to her feet and said, “There’s a third possibility: that she couldn’t bring herself to kill her own child, but if it wasn’t done by her hand, and yet she knew about it and did nothing to stop it, and then went on to tell my grandfather, well then the whole chain of cause and effect falls into place.” 。“ Grandma Ji took a deep breath, “Back when I was in Quanzhou, I heard from people that the imperial court in Beijing was rife with infighting. Deep within the palace walls, it seemed like everything was luxurious and beautiful, but all sorts of dirty things happened there.” 。At first I didn't believe it, now I know the result was inevitable. 。 。"It's all just speculation, there's no concrete evidence yet!" Ye Wenyan told Granny Ji. "Inform Ji Duo and Ji Rong to closely monitor Old Madam, the Second Master, the Second Mistress, and Xichun, day and night." 。Also, take my name card to the Prince Ren's Mansion and borrow some manpower. Please, Third Highness, send a few guards to assist. 。This matter is top secret, remember not to alarm the grass. 。"The old slave obeys. " 。Grandma retreated. 。Ye Wen sat back in his chair, calculating the series of events within the Ye family. However, what he thought about most was how to solve this matter once it was investigated - whether through public or private means. 。It should be made public, because this is a murder case, and the victims are two prominent generals of Northern Qi. 。All participants from the Chiang family must remove the Ye clan's genealogy, return to the Chiang family, and exterminate their nine clans. 。The Kejiu clan also includes the children of the Ye family...ch. Unfortunately, since they weren't from the same mother, and moreover, my father had already passed on the title to him at that time, he was the head of the household, and who could say no when he...
