Chapter 76: Something Is Missing

ou trying to pull Shi Lifen, you already have a wife and concubines! What gives you the right to talk to me like this! She was getting angrier and angrier, even imagining scenes of Shi Lifen being aff...Ye Wen didn't remember when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he found himself lying on his own bed. Besides the faint floral fragrance in the tent, there was also a trace of real incense intertwined with it. 。She was very sensitive to this smell, because it was the scent of Shi Lifen. Every time she saw him, the scent would hit her suddenly, just like the smell that always surrounded the Ye family mansion in her past life. 。She closed her eyes again, softly and sweetly: "Shi Li Yuan, why haven't you left yet What time is it now""It's almost the Mao hour..." 。He tucked the blanket around her again, "Go to sleep, I'll stay with you. I'll leave when it gets brighter." 。"Well, if you're all coming, then I can finally get a good night's sleep." 。Otherwise, I'll just keep having nightmares. They are really scary. 。She muttered incoherently for a while, then fell back asleep. When she woke up again, the scent of incense had faded. She knew that person was gone. 。"Sister, are you awake" Granny's voice came from outside the curtain. 。She sat up and hummed in acknowledgment, then asked Jiamma, "What time did I return"Jiamma replied, "Around the hour of Yin, Your Majesty personally sent you back." 。"Grandma, why are you smiling" she said, pouting. Grandmother continued to smile. "The old servant is happy for her," 。For how many years has it been Ever since the ancestors of our family followed the Sovereign Emperor, no one had ever received such kindness from him as you have. You are the first, and undoubtedly the only one. 。She felt a flutter of joy in her heart, but she wouldn't admit it out loud: "Who knows if there have been other beauties behind the scenes Perhaps he just didn't want his family to see, so your family hasn't seen them." 。"

"Cannot " 。"Grandma told her, 'A figure like the Emperor is unambiguous. He is one if it's one, two if it's two, present if he is, absent if he isn't. It's impossible for him to be different in front of people than behind their backs.'" 。Even after he became famous, there was never a woman by his side when he was unknown. 。Oh, besides the Empress Dowager who passed away. 。Night Wen didn't speak again, he just kept thinking about Granny Ji's words, "It's impossible for someone to be so different in front of and behind people." 。She couldn't agree with that at all, because she knew too well what kind of person that thug was. 。Hmph, he puts on a show of being noble and refined in front of others, making everyone think he's a paragon of virtue. But behind closed doors, he's still the one who touches her inappropriately. And when things come out, it's definitely not what a decent man would do. 。People, you really can't judge by their appearance. 。Je MaMa looked at the girl without speaking, not knowing what she was thinking. Her mouth would purse into a smile one moment, then pucker in anger the next. Je MaMa found this Night Family's Fourth Sister to be truly adorable and charming. Besides her skin being a bit too pale, everything else was perfect. 。No wonder the Emperor has never shown interest in women for so many years, but now he has fallen for Night Four Sister. After observing her these past few days, she increasingly feels that this Night Four Sister is extraordinary, unlike other young ladies. 。"Sister, are you awake" Nanny Ji interrupted her daydream with a smile. "It's almost noon. Wash up and we can have lunch." 。Though it's still congee today, the kitchen made sugar packets and brought us several extra ones. 。"The old mistress was excused from her morning and evening devotions today. I suppose she's recuperating." She nodded, got up, and went to wash. 。The room is still full of things, and it's a bit difficult to walk around. 。These things reminded her of something, so she told Granny: “I had given the mansion three days’ time before, to have all the belongings from each room in the West courtyard returned, including my mother's dowry. " 。Well, today's the day I have to return something. After lunch, if there's still no movement, Grandma will go and nag them a bit. I have to be a reliable Fourth Sister and keep my word. 。“Don’t worry, sister. This old servant will remember.” 。"

Ye Wen began to use his lunch, finishing a bowl of porridge and eating a sugar packet, when the voice of Zhuier came from outside: "This servant has seen Madam Er, and asks after Madam Er's well-being..." 。"Is the Second Madam here to see my older sister" Following close behind was Xiao's voice: "I came to deliver things to Xi Yuan'er, let the Fourth Miss come out for a bit!"Zhuai entered the room, "Sister, the Second Madam brought many things over, Sister, quickly go have a look." 。"

Ye Wen led Granny Ji out of the room and saw a yard full of large boxes, each with a name written on it. " 。There are Ye Yin's, Mu's, and Night Feiyu, Night Qingmei, and Night Lianmian's. 。Xiao saw her come out and immediately ordered someone to open the boxes. Then she walked forward and said, "Wen Yan, before you were to furnish this place according to the standards of the former West Courtyard, but I've thought about it later, and I think that's not right. We should return what originally belonged to you." 。These things I counted late into the night, all objects moved from the East Courtyard on the second day of December. Perhaps some small items were lost or broken during the move, but the larger and more valuable items are definitely still here. You see... 。" Night Wenyan remained motionless, only instructing Xiangdong to take an inventory. She didn't know what items there were before, and even when she searched through the original owner's memories, she couldn't find much. 。 Xiao Shi saw Xiang Dong seriously counting and writing the words "Fourth Sister" on the box, so she walked forward a few steps and said to Ye Wenyan, “Why don't you also invite your elder sister-in-law and Fei Yu over here to count together” Ye Wenyan gave her a sideways glance, “Second Aunt’s attitude today is indeed good, but I wonder if it’s sincere repentance or that she was frightened last night and afraid of being struck by lightning herself” Xiao Shi quickly said, "Wen Yan, you're laughing. Second Aunt really came here sincerely to do this. She hasn't received less scolding from the old lady for this. After all, it was the old lady’s idea to move things away in the first place, and it was her people who moved them. I am essentially moving things back from her room, so do you think she would be happy" “Second Aunt means that all the things went into the Old Madam's Fulu courtyard That's not necessarily true,” she pulled at the corner of her mouth, a sneer forming, "Then what about the book in my elder sister's box, how did it end up being found from Fifth Sister's room" Xiao Shi was a little embarrassed, “It seems that the Old Madam only took away useful things and left the rest in each room…” 。Wen Yan, if you blame the marriage, then your second aunt is definitely wrong. But blaming me for stealing things is really unfair. It's entirely the old lady's decision, none of us could interfere. 。” She glanced at Xiao shi, “Second Aunt, what are you thinking Don’t tell me you expect me to treat Ye Hongzhuang’s injuries” Xiao shi’s eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again, “Wenyan, you won’t treat her, will you Second Aunt understands, this matter, if it were anyone else, they wouldn’t be willing either…" 。After all, I am her mother. I have to fight for her, no matter if I succeed or not, at least I've tried. Then she won't be able to hate me in the future. 。"Wenyan, Second Aunt won't chase after you. Take your time and think it over carefully. As long as you can cure her, really anything can be discussed with Second Aunt. Anything that Second Aunt can do, will definitely be done for you." 。“

Xiao Shi this time was also decisive, after finishing these words, she just closed her mouth and waited for Xiang Dong to count the number of seconds. Only then did she ask again: “How is it, is anything precious missing”

Xiang Dong ignored Xiao Shi, only saying to Ye Wen: "Precious items are all there, some things are missing. Some may have been broken during the move, and the rest may have been lost, but fortunately, they weren't worth much silver" 。" She nodded, "Then let's move it inside!" The servants began to carry boxes into the house, but because there were already many things piled inside, they couldn't fit any more. Only then did Ji MaMa instruct them to leave them at the doorway for now and figure out a plan later. 。Zhui'er watched as one box after another was covered and carried to under the eaves, nodding continuously. 。That's right, this is how the older sister from before should be, the most domineering older sister isn't called that for nothing. 。"Wen Yan, look, everything here is done. Auntie Two will go to your mother's place first." 。"Xiao shi hesitated for a moment before adding, “There's one more thing I need to tell you in advance, Sister-in-law. Everything from your room has been brought back, and your dowry remains untouched.” 。But there was one thing, in the outer city, a three-story shop, which is now open as a restaurant. 。Because it was the sister-in-law's dowry, she had always taken care of it herself before. 。But later when the deed came into the hands of the old mistress, within just a few days, the wine shop closed down, and all the people inside were replaced. 。I brought so many things over here, and although the old madam wasn't willing, she didn't really mind much. But that deed, no matter what, she wouldn't return it. 。I tried my best, she wouldn't give it to me anyway. 。"When she heard this, Zhu'er frowned. "How could Grandmother be so...so..." The maid almost blurted out another word again. 。The Xiao family glared at her, but she didn't dare to do anything. She just waved for someone to carry the things away. 。Then the young girl spoke freely: “Too shameless, truly too shameless! That restaurant, I went there with the Mistress before. It was quite impressive! It makes a good amount of silver each year...” 。"The old madam just took it like that, isn't that like a bandit!" Ma Ma also walked over, looking serious and asked: "Do you need the old slave to help Madam get it back"Ye Wenyan shook her head, "No need..." 。So many things have come back, just missing a deed. Who knows what secrets it might be hiding 。Let's wait until she recovers from her lightning strike injuries. My mother and I will personally visit her then, and ask her about it. At worst, we'll let lightning strike her again! I don't believe that she won't come back to a wine shop after another strike. 。“The grandma didn't react much to this, but when other servants heard it, it was a different story. 。First, Zhu'er was astonished and exclaimed, "Sister, your words make it sound like you can control lightning! Sister, you're too amazing!" 。Over the past few days, the General's Mansion has been relatively quiet. 。People in the mansion were taking care of the wounded and those expecting babies. The Fu Lu courtyard did not allow for any rest during dawn or dusk, and no one else had bothered with any more tricks or strange women. 。The two women brought down by Ye Wenyan served as laborers in the courtyard. They did all the strenuous work like chopping firewood and fetching water, and after finishing they had to sweep the yard and dust. 。Xiang Dong crisply gave all the servants a holiday, letting them go back home to rest. After all, there are people to call upon, so don't overwork yourselves. 。As for Wu Xuan, Empress Li sent a court physician over to treat Ye Hongzhuang's wounds and ensure her pregnancy. 。 ```html
