Chapter 690: Reunion with Aunt Nanny

ly, from then on, took on the responsibility and duty of subduing the monstrous waves of the Wü’an Sea. 。So the people of Ye Clan can come to this time and space, walking through the same time-space p...When Ye Wen was dismounting from the carriage, Feng Zhaolian had already run to a shop on the roadside and knocked on the door. 。She casually asked Yunxiao, "I heard you were injured and saved by the Lady Zhuo Lian. How did you get hurt" Yunxiao didn't find it surprising that she suddenly asked this question. He calmly replied, "I was being chased by my enemies, fell off a cliff, luckily I was alive and met the Lady." 。If Si Jie wants to ask who the enemy is and why they have a grudge, then that's a long story. 。" Ye Wen waved his hand, "I just asked casually, I didn't want to hear too much detail. " 。She pulled Shi Li Yuan toward Feng Zhao Lian, and as she walked, she crushed flower petals to transform her appearance. When she looked up at Shi Li Yuan again, she saw that he had also completed his transformation, and he even gave Feng Zhao Lian a free spell. 。Though the three of them now had a certain air of sophistication, they weren't as dazzling as they used to be. They didn't even resemble their original appearances. Even standing before Madam Ye, she wouldn't recognize them. 。

The one who was being knocked on the door was a steamed bun shop. Feng Zhaolian had been knocking for quite a while before the person inside finally reluctantly opened the door a crack. “What do you want It’s dark outside, this hour! Knocking on doors like this isn't going to end well! Oh, it’s a young lady. You, you young lady, what are you doing out at this hour Shouldn’t you be back home Don't loiter about the streets. Go home quickly! I'm not selling buns anymore

"I'm not buying steamed buns, I'm asking you something. 。“

What are you inquiring about You’re not from Xiushan County” The person inside was an old man, and upon hearing they weren't from Xiushan, he immediately became agitated, stomping his feet. “People from outside Xiushan, what business do you have here stirring up trouble Get out of the city quickly! Xiushan County has been cursed, everyone is going to die>>>" 。"Come on, let's go! We'll be late!" He was about to shut the door. 。Yun Xiao reached out and firmly pressed the door shut. The old man was immediately terrified, "What... what are you going to do" Screams of women and children echoed from inside the shop, clearly treating them as deadly villains. 。"Grandpa, don't be afraid. We aren't bad people. We're here to visit relatives. We didn't know about this before we came, and now that everyone has already arrived in Xiushan, it's not good to go back..." 。"May I ask, how do I get to Chiang's residence"

"Are you visiting the Chiang family" The old man frowned, grunted, and then pointed in a direction, "Walk down this street straight ahead, turn south at the intersection, and you'll arrive when you reach the end." 。“After finishing, taking advantage of Yun Xiao’s moment of relaxation, he slammed the door shut.” 。There was a muffled voice coming from the shop, the old man cursing. “Bah! If I had known they were inquiring about the Jiang family, even if they smashed the door down I wouldn't have opened it! The best thing would be for those Jiang family pests to die!”Feng Zhaolian was very puzzled, “Are the Jiang family so disliked” Ye Wenyan pulled her back, and the group returned to the carriage. The carriage continued forward until finally stopping at the entrance of the Jiang residence. 。Ye Wen said, "I'm here to stay overnight. I want to hear how the people of the Jiang family are doing." 。She got off the carriage. Shi Lifeng and Feng Zhaolian followed behind her. The Jiang Mansion was built grandly, with a gate big enough to shelter four or five people from the rain comfortably. 。Yun Xiao knocked on the door, again and again. After a while, someone inside asked, "Who is it"Yun Xiao replied, "We are travelers passing through, hoping to stay at your mansion for one night." 。"Lodging What a joke! This is the Chiang residence, what do you think this place is You can't borrow anything here, get out!" "First open the door, let's chat a few words before deciding whether to leave or not." 。Yun Xiao patted a few more times, “You’re just a doorman, whether you let people in or drive them away doesn't really matter to—” 。"What if you drive us away and our master holds it against you later"

“Nonsense! At a time like this, even outside the Jiang residence, no inn in Xiushan County would shelter outsiders. There's no way anyone would blame us! Don't be ridiculous, I don't care who you are, just leave quickly so we don't give each other trouble” 。"Nowadays, Xiushan County isn't like it used to be. Anyone could be a monster, especially you!" "What do you mean""What do you mean You come to the Jiang Residence asking for lodging That alone tells me you aren't good people." 。"Are we good people, after all Brother, can you tell us what exactly happened in Xiushan County" Ye Wenyan spoke up. "I have a silver ingot in my hand, I'm going to throw it out the gate now, is that for you..." 。She finished, and tossed the silver up with her hand. She quickly heard the sound of the coins landing inside the mansion gate. 。The doorman hesitated for a moment, went to fetch something, and upon his return, his attitude softened: “Listen to my advice, leave quickly. Is there any outsider who comes to an unfamiliar place and directly asks the most influential family for lodging The moment you arrived, it seemed like you had ill intentions! As for the matter in Xiushan County, I’ll tell you a few things because of this silver. After you hear this, please leave immediately and don’t ask any further questions.” 。We, in Xiushan County, don't know what's going on recently. People have been dying one after another. Every night, someone dies, and those who die are beheaded. Before dawn, the bodies, heads and all, are thrown at the door of our Jiang Mansion. 。Our old man has been scared sick, lying in bed for three days now. Not even the doctor dares to come visit him. 。“Throw the body to the Jiang family’s doorstep” Ye Wenyan asked again, “Do you know why it was thrown to the Jiang family’s doorstep” "Who would know that! We don't even know who the murderer is. Reporting to the officials is useless. The county magistrate is terrified, he's sicker than my master! And also, the county magistrate’s wife was also killed, and many officers died as well. It's too terrifying!"He was truly afraid, his words trembled with fear. 。Ye Wen nodded, knowing he had asked enough questions. He then said, "Go report it and tell Old Madam Tang that a distant relative from our family has arrived, the fourth in line. Ask her to come out and greet us." 。"You're relatives of the old madam" The doorman responded with a "Yo," and said, "You wait here, I'll go tell her." 。"Go, remember to only communicate with the old mistress." 。“

“Understood” 。The doorman dashed away and returned shortly after. From inside the mansion came Madam Tang's voice, "Who is it"Night Wen replied, "Aunt Tang, how have you been""It's you" As soon as she spoke, the gate opened. Madam Tang looked out for a moment. Familiar voices met unfamiliar faces, leaving her bewildered. “Who are you”“Traveling can be inconvenient, I have simply lowered my appearance..." 。"Ye Wen approached her, lowering his voice..." 。Tang nodded, still a little dazed. But she remembered the sound of Ye Wenyan's voice, and besides that, she always had a feeling, even though the person in front of her looked completely different from Ye Wenyan, it was definitely him. 。She opened the door a little wider and reached out to pull Ye Wenyan inside, “Come in quickly, let’s talk inside.” 。" Ye Wenyan and his party entered the mansion smoothly, and even their carriage was led by servants into the stable. 。Tang glanced at the doorman, pondered for a moment, and then spoke to Ye Wen: "You coming to Xiushan County at this time, I truly don't know whether to keep you or not. 。Fine, you can stay for a while. But let me make something clear: if anything happens during your stay, the Chiang family is not responsible. 。We don't mind having many mouths, but if you want money, there's no way. 。As distant relatives like us, you're welcome to have a few meals at my place. But that's about it. 。"

After finishing, he lowered his voice and muttered to himself: "Humph, anyway, they're all dead. Perhaps leaving you here might still help your families avoid disaster." 。Although he spoke softly, his voice was loud enough for the person in the room next door to hear. 。Yè Wēn yán knew she was speaking to the servants, and didn't mind her words. He followed Tāng shì to the backyard. 。The Chiang residence was quite large. While it couldn't compare to the mansions of first-rank generals in the capital, it was still quite impressive. 。It is truly astonishing that a person with no official position, engaged in no business, could build their home to such an extent. 。Throughout the journey, Tang observed Ye Wenyan's complexion, and as she watched, she felt that his face was becoming increasingly unsightly. Her heart sank further. 。"Go downstairs and tell the kitchen to prepare another banquet!" she instructed the maid beside her. "Make sure the dishes are plentiful. Though they're only distant relatives from my mother's side, they traveled far to see me, so I can't treat them too poorly. If word gets back to the family that I was inhospitable, then my reputation will be ruined." 。You personally keep an eye on things in the kitchen. Don't let those fools slack off because of all the strange happenings in the county these past few days. 。The midwife agreed and left. Tang waited until she was far away before hurriedly asking Ye Wen: "How did the Fourth Miss come here Why didn't you send a letter in advance I would have reminded you not to come if anyone had sent a message." 。ghter like that! She brought this upon herself and yet she had to involve her brother, dragging my only son down with her as well! Xiao Sh beyaz, if Fei Zhou hadn't been fine this time, I would have k...
