grand and imposing. So she resolutely deployed the mansion's largest carriage and even stuffed the carriage with lots of delicacies. 。The big carriage rumbled and roared toward Yu's Mansion. Jiang Wa...That night, Ye Wen remained sleepless.

She sent Zhu'er and Xiangdong away, but kept Ji MaMa in the room to keep her company. 。Grandma asked her, “Sister, is something the matter Going out at night”。She nodded. "There's something to be done, but I won't leave the house, and Grandmother doesn't need to follow me." 。I can't sleep right now, if Grandma can't sleep either, let's just chat about anything. 。“ There’s actually one more thing I want to tell you, sister, it’s still about Second Sister.” 。" Ye Wenyan frowned, a little agitated, "How is it her again" Ji Mamā smiled when she saw this, “There’s no way around it, who told the second sister's acting skills are so good! Actually, it's still about what happened at Fulu Courtyard earlier today..." 。The Second Mistress was also there at first, but she stirred up trouble and spoke disrespectfully to you. The old servant couldn't bear it any longer, so I whipped her, breaking a bone in her arm. The Second Mistress had someone carry her back to recuperate. 。

The old servant knows that you don't like that person, so he just hit him. It's nothing big.

But after all, the mistress is still here, and I'm afraid she won't be happy, so this old slave thinks it's better to tell you first. You have a plan in mind, so that when the mistress asks, you can also answer well. 。"Fractured" Ye Wenyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded with satisfaction, "Well done." 。"If the mistress were to ask" "She wouldn't ask." 。"Ye Wen looked at this matter very clearly, "Whenever she wanted to ask something, she would have asked when returning to Qingliangyuan today." 。Mother isn't a fool, she just got stuck with such a daughter, there's nothing she can do about it. 。 。" Grandma Ji sighed for a while, and said again: “Being merciful also has its drawbacks. Today, I heard what my elder sister and the eldest sister said.” 。Some things this old slave doesn't understand, what happened in the past and now, these old slaves know nothing about. 。The old servant only knows my mistress. If there is a conflict between you and the second sister in the future, Madam will definitely stand on the second sister's side. 。"As an old servant, just thinking about this makes me feel sorry for my sister. I only hope that there will never be such a thing!"

Ye Wenyan smiled, "Whether it exists or not doesn't matter. I don't really care." 。She is my mother, and she has given me maternal love. Therefore, I respect her deeply. 。If she chooses to give up on me, I will also walk away gracefully and won't cling to her. 。"Sister doesn't seem too keen on staying at the Ye family" "Yeah" 。"Ye Wen nodded, "Do you think I'm a bit cold-blooded this way But that's actually just who I am." 。I'm a rather free-spirited person. When it comes to both home and relationships, I believe in fate. If there's a connection, we'll come together; if not, we'll part ways. 。When you gather, be sincere and genuine. When you part ways, don't hold grudges against each other. This is the best state to be in. 。Just like a mother, I have things to do. If I were tied down by one mansion after another throughout my life, that would be the most ultimate failure. 。"What does elder sister intend to do" Ye Wenyan smiled, "Grandmother is a member of the Ji family. Members of the Ji family should know best what Shi Lifen has been pursuing throughout his life." 。"

" is Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! 。“The old woman has always been truthful to her, ‘The Emperor had lived for four hundred and fifty years, the only question was why the earth’s spiritual energy suddenly disappeared, the only pursuit was to return human lifespans to a hundred years.’” 。"

Ye Wen said with a nod, "What he wants to do is what I want to do" 。" Grandma finally understood why Ye Wenyan wasn't very concerned about the affairs of the Ye family. How could someone with a heart devoted to others be bound by a house Fourth Sister Ye's vision is that of an ordinary person, not limited to the two and a half people in this three-point piece of land within the Ye family. " 。It's no wonder the Emperor chose her; who wouldn't fall for such a girlWhen it was midnight, Wen Yan rose from the soft chair, "Grandmother, go to sleep. I'll just take a stroll around the mansion." 。Although I don't care about them fighting to the death, and I don't care about this family business either, there are some things that need to be investigated. 。"Grandma, do you really not want me to follow you" She smiled and shook her head, "No need..." 。"

Ye Wen's purpose tonight was to visit Fulu Courtyard, mainly to see the tree that had been doused with medicinal soup. " 。Although so much time has passed and there have been several heavy snowfalls, there shouldn't be many clues left. 。But she is the head of the Xuan脈 Ye family, her means are not comparable to ordinary mortals. 。If the tree was truly poisoned, there would surely be traces left behind. She could then use her spiritual power to investigate and uncover the truth of that year. 。As night deepened, the quiet manor was suddenly pierced by a series of loud bangs. The sounds were jarring in the stillness of the night when everyone else was asleep. 。The sound was heard as he neared the Fulu Courtyard. Ye Wenyan cast an invisibility spell and walked into the courtyard silently, without a sound or trace, leaving no footprints behind. No one could detect that another person had suddenly appeared in the courtyard. 。She just stood quietly in the yard, watching as six or seven women, each wielding a large axe, hacked at a massive tree with all their might. 。The flower spirit called, the five senses opened, in ten breaths, a faint smell of medicine entered the nose. 。That was the taste of medicine residue mixed with dirt. The medicine had been poured down the tree trunk, so the taste of the bark was also mixed in. 。It seems Empress Li was right, at least this tree has indeed been poured with medicine. 。If you add so many elderly women and midwives cultivated over the years by Madam Ming Lao to chop down trees, then Madam Ming Lao has already begun to make amends for what she did in the past. 。Ye Wen wrapped his arms around himself and leaned against another tree, continuing to watch them chop. 。He had been watching for half an hour, when finally he heard a woman's voice say: "This way of chopping won't work. Even if you chop down the tree, the roots will still be there." 。The old woman meant it had to be done cleanly and efficiently, without a trace left behind, not even the roots of the tree. 。That's too much effort. 。“Besides, woman,” although the seven of us chop together, this isn't something that can be done in one night.” 。Furthermore, the commotion cannot be too loud. This somewhat restricts one's freedom of movement. 。"That's right! If we want to remove it, we have to dig up the roots. This tree is so thick, its roots must be very deep. How long would it take to dig them up Besides, digging such a large pit suddenly would surely attract attention!""Why don't we just cut it down It wouldn't be bad to put up a stone table here tomorrow to block the way."The old women chatted back and forth, but in the end they couldn't agree on a solution. The leader of the group finally spoke: "Let's cut it down first. Even if we want to dig up the roots, we should cut it down first, then it will be easier to dig." 。The old lady will chop this tree up for firewood. We just need to cut it down and leave it in the backyard, someone will come to chop it tomorrow. 。After making up their minds, the midwives continued to chop down trees. 。It's thanks to these women, all of whom are martial artists, with strong hands and inner strength. They took turns hacking at the tree, after another two incense sticks’ worth of time, the last layer of bark finally broke off, and the tree fell with a crash. 。Three women worked together to support the trunk, preventing it from falling and damaging the house, and also reducing the noise it would have made if it had fallen. 。Ye Wen watched as they carried the tree to the backyard, and the axes were sent back to the firewood shed. When they came back, each one was panting heavily with exhaustion. After sitting on the ground for a while, someone went into the main house. 。She also followed in, seeing that the old lady wasn't asleep, but sitting up on the bed. Jun Tao was beside her. 。The woman-midwife entered the room and reported, "The tree has already been cut down, but its roots haven't been removed yet." 。The old servant comes to ask the old mistress for instructions. If we dig a hole tonight, it will definitely not be covered up before dawn, and someone will see it in the morning. 。It's better to cut down the trunk first. Wait until it gets light outside, buy some bricks and soil, and then dig a hole when it gets dark again. Once you're done digging, just lay the bricks directly on top. 。Besides, the servants in the courtyard are sleeping very soundly. The medicine will make them unable to wake up for another two hours. Please rest assured, Old Madam. 。“ The old madam sat on the bed sullenly, saying nothing. Jun Tao then asked: “A broken tree trunk will still be noticeable tomorrow, won't it” The woman replied, "You can move some tables and chairs there, so it won't be too obvious." 。"

Jun Tao thought about it for a moment, and nodded, "There's no other way. We can't get bricks and soil in the middle of the night either." 。“The old woman glanced at the old lady, seeing that she was still fine. With a wave of her hand, she dismissed the servant girl.” 。Only the master and his servant remained in the house, of course, plus Night Whisper who was hiding. They just couldn't see him. 。 The old lady snorted, "Not how... " 。

To uproot a tree while leaving its roots, is like cutting grass without removing the roots. It's all about addressing the source of the problem.

What I mean is to get things done efficiently, ideally chopping down the trees tonight so there are no complications. 。But listen to their reasons, this isn't right, that isn't right. Since nothing works, what was I raising them for Haven't I spent a fortune on them over the years Look at how things have been since Wenyan returned from the Duke of Su's manor that night; they haven't managed to accomplish a single thing. 。It's better not to do that. I'd rather raise ten dogs than them. 。“Jun Tao quickly advised her, “Now that the fourth sister is powerful, the old madam can’t be without these maids anymore.” 。Let's just keep it as friendly banter, we can't go around acting like dogs. 。As for that tree, dear madam, there's no need to worry, it won't make a difference. 。As soon as the signal is given, I will personally go out to buy bricks and soil, ensuring that they are all brought back. Then, we'll work through the night digging and filling in the roots. It will definitely be done so that it looks like there was never a tree there at all. 。“Well, there’s no other way,” the old lady sighed helplessly. “If they were as reliable as you, my life wouldn't be so difficult. I still have to rely on your kindness.” 。"The old woman lay down while she said, “Jun Tao, let me ask you something. Did you personally pour those medicines Did anyone else touch them”

Jun Tao immediately shook her head. “Absolutely not. And even if it was a slave who poured them, it would always be done at night or when the surroundings were empty and nobody was around. It would be done with great care so as not to be seen.” 。"That's strange, how did Ye Wen know the medicine had been tampered with" The old lady immediately closed her eyes and fell asleep, even snoring. 。

Jun Tao tucked the blanket for her and sat cross-legged on the floor with a bedding roll, leaning her head against the edge of the bed. She soon fell asleep too.

Ye Wen looked at the master and servant, a chill gradually rising at the corner of his lips... she knows or not, whether she comes out or not." 。On the contrary, if she doesn't come out, I'll have to ask someone to get her out. 。"If she doesn't come to such a lively scene, then I wouldn't hav...
