He stood up from the throne and walked slowly to Ye Wan's side. He patted her shoulder and whispered into her ear,""Do you hate me?"
Ye Mei asked despite knowing the answer.
She was stunned for a moment, and a glint flashed across her eyes. Then, she shook her head repeatedly and replied with a smile,"How could elder sister have any reason to hate younger sister?”
"Oh." Ye Mei nodded his head and turned his gaze towards her eyes, staring fixedly at something unknown.
Suddenly, there was another meaningful smile." When Mother wakes up, go and help her get dressed. BenGong will go and see how that dying person is doing."”
Ye Mei was obviously poking at her wound, but all of this was her own choice.
If she had left with Ye Tian Yun just now, Ye Mei would not have done anything to her. However, the result was not out of her expectations. Ye Wan was such a person.
"Got it." She said softly, still not looking straight at Ye Mei. Her usual haughty look was completely gone.
Ye Mei nodded his head and slowly walked out, a group of guards following behind him like shadows.
The broom came to a sudden stop and Ye Wan finally lifted her head. Her large eyes stared angrily at Ye Mei's back. She gritted her teeth but could not do anything to him. She could only vent all her anger on the fallen leaves on the ground.
On the other side, Ye Mei was elegantly walking along the long corridor. From afar, he could see a few maids standing in front of Madam Chen's door, sobbing softly.
No matter how one listened to that voice, it sounded noisy. He frowned slightly and walked towards Madam Chen's room. However, she just happened to bump into Ye Tianyun, who was walking out. Their eyes met, and there was a deep look in their eyes.
With Madam Chen's illness, Ye Tian Yun seemed to have aged a bit. The basin of blood red water in his hand was trembling slightly.
"Lord Marquis is also here." Ye Mei spoke in a light tone, but the tone of his raised eyebrows made people feel very uncomfortable.
However, Ye Tianyun couldn't get angry at her. He smiled at her fawningly and said," Why is the Empress here? Don't let this crying ruin your mood."”
He opened his mouth and strode towards Ye Mei's direction. The basin of blood in his hand kept swaying, making a splashing sound. Suddenly, Ye Tian Yun staggered and his body leaned forward. The water in the basin spilled out and fell towards Ye Mei.
Ye Mei's reaction was quick. His body flashed and he appeared behind Ye Tian Yun. The blood fell to the ground, emitting a faint fishy smell.
"I'm old. I can even fall down when I walk.”He shook his head and turned around to look at Ye Mei, his tone filled with annoyance and a sigh.
Ye Mei snorted coldly in his heart. Even though he was not young, he was not old to this extent. He did not need to think to know that this was done on purpose.
However, she still maintained her composure on the surface and smiled indifferently." Lord Marquis, you have to be careful when you walk in the future. Don't fall and no one will come to take a look."”
Her words clearly carried an insinuating meaning. The one who was bedridden now was Chen-shi, but she came here to advise Ye Tian Yun.
"Empress is right." Even so, he could only nod repeatedly.
"There are some things that you have to think about what you have done before you resent others.”Ye Mei lectured her in a fair manner and did not have the mood to visit Madam Chen after he finished speaking. He shook his head and turned around to leave.
Ye Tianyun glared angrily at Ye Mei, his hand that was holding the basin involuntarily clenching." Hmph!”
He snorted coldly. The basin could not withstand the pressure and instantly cracked.
Madam Chen's intermittent coughing sounds rang out from inside. After a long time, Ye Tian Yun's hand weakly loosened, and he sighed as he turned around and left. If it wasn't for him speaking too harshly back then, it was also impossible for Madam Chen to be so agitated that she spat out blood and got injured. At the end of the day, Ye Tianyun had some responsibility.
In the attic, Ye Wan carefully served Ruan shi, her big eyes always looking in the direction of the door.
Madame Ruan didn't know what was going on. She just felt that the child had suddenly become obedient, as if she had changed into a different person overnight. All the dissatisfaction she had with her in the past had gradually dissipated.
However, Xi 'er, who was at the side, would say a few sarcastic words from time to time. Ye Wan miraculously swallowed her anger and did not even say a word.
"Mei 'er is back." Madame Ruan's sharp eyes caught sight of that elegant figure. His eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a happy expression.
She did not know if it was because Madam Chen had told her that Ye Mei had died in battle, but it had left a huge shadow on her. Every time Ye Mei left without saying goodbye, she felt that Ye Mei would never return and everything that happened before was just a dream.
"Mother." She called out with a smile and hugged Ruan shi's waist, acting coquettishly.
Ye Wan opened her mouth, but she couldn't squeeze out a word. She took a deep breath as if she had gained great courage and said,""Younger Sister, how is Madam Chen?”
She immediately changed the way she addressed her and called her mother by her real name. He had really made up his mind to cut ties with her.
"Probably in these two days." Ye Mei waved his hand indifferently.
Ye Wan was immediately stunned when she heard that. She couldn't close her mouth for some reason.
"Wan 'er, quickly go and see your mother.”Madame Ruan said. She turned her head to look at the pitiful Ye Wan and couldn't help but show a little heartache.
However, Ye Wan shook her head desperately and squeezed out a smile that she thought was very obedient.""Mother, I've been looking at you."
Madame Ruan was stunned. She looked at Ye Wan in confusion.
Ye Mei smiled and bent down to look at Madame Ruan. He said in a coquettish tone,""Mother, since sister has said so, then let her be.”
She looked at the two sisters in confusion, but after a moment, she only shook her head gently and did not say anything.
For two days and two nights, Madam Shen was sick by the bedside alone. She kept muttering Ye Wan's name in her critical moment, but the daughter she doted on never showed up. Even Ye Tianyun had only come a few times before disappearing without a trace.
The servants of the Marquis fu were all people who saw the wind and steered the boat. When they saw that the Chen shi's power was gone and that they did not care about her, they immediately sought refuge elsewhere.
The room instantly became empty. Other than Madam Shen's weak moans, there were only two loyal maids left.
In this way, she was not too miserable. After all, there were still people around her.
"Wan 'er, are you not here yet?" Madam Chen weakly opened her eyes and looked around, but she could only vaguely see the figure in front of her.
The maid stood in front of her bed and shook her head helplessly after looking at her. He wrung the water off the towel and carefully wiped her face.
His face, which used to be red, was now so pale that it was shocking.
"Wan 'er, is that you?" Madam Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed the maid's arm. She did not know where the strength came from, but she could not break free.
"I knew that you wouldn't be so heartless as to abandon Mother.”She muttered to herself in a low voice, but she felt like the sun was setting.
The maid simply gave up struggling and nodded her head forcefully. Her eyes were filled with tears. She wanted to speak but was afraid that Madam Shen would hear that it was not Ye Wan.
"Good child." She smiled comfortingly." Don't cry." As he spoke, he reached out to wipe the tears on her face.
However, that hand suddenly froze in mid-air, and no matter how hard Chen shi tried, she could not lift it.
"Madam?" She immediately sensed that something was wrong and shouted nervously.
However, Madam Chen's hand had already hung down weakly. Her slightly narrowed eyes were gently closed and a comforting smile hung on the corner of her mouth.
The maid stretched out her hand in shock and carefully reached for her nose. Suddenly, she nervously withdrew her hand, and her small face was immediately filled with sadness.
"Madam!" She called out loudly, but the person on the bed no longer responded.
The maid knew clearly that the reason why Madam Shen was able to hold on for so long was because she wanted to see Ye Wan again. Today, she treated herself as Ye Wan, and that was why she left in peace.
Her cries immediately attracted the attention of the servants passing by. They looked inside from afar and instantly understood. He hurriedly ran towards the study where Ye Tianyun was. Along the way, he told everyone he saw.
When Ye Tian Yun heard the news and rushed over, Madam Chen's room was already filled with people. Each and every one of them was wiping their tears, and it was unknown whether they were sincere or not.
"Old Master is here.”Someone shouted, but everyone's cries became louder. They hurriedly walked to the sides to make way for him.
Ye Tianyun also had a sorrowful look on his face. However, he was not like them, who were crying hypocritically.
No matter what, they had been husband and wife for so many years. They had some feelings for each other. He still could not accept that they were leaving just like that.
But that was all.
"Why are you so stupid?" He looked at the quiet woman on the bed and shook his head helplessly after a long time.
Behind him, everyone cried even harder.
"Everyone's here?" Ye Mei's voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.
Everyone was stunned for a moment. They quickly stopped crying and stood motionless on the spot. They all knew that there was a conflict between Ye Mei and Madam Chen. If it wasn't for her, perhaps Madam Chen wouldn't have died so early.
"Welcome, Imperial Consort." Courtesy was something that couldn't be avoided, even at such a critical time.
Ye Mei nodded his head indifferently but he felt that this Marquis 'Residence was already deformed to the point of making people feel disgusted.
"What are you doing here?" Ye Tianyun said unkindly. He turned his head and saw Ye Wan following behind him. At this moment, she was intimately supporting Ruan shi, completely ignoring the person on the bed.
"Wan 'er, come here!" Seeing her like this, Ye Tianyun couldn't hold back his anger. He berated her and wanted to attack her.
Ye Wan was shocked and quickly took a step back to hide behind Ruan Shi. She said," Mother, I'm scared." Madame Ruan only gave her a kind smile and gave her a reassuring look.
Ye Tian Yun's hands trembled in anger at this scene, but he could not flare up in front of Ye Mei. He could only hold his sleeves tightly to ease the anger in his heart.
"Lord Marquis wants to use his power to bully others?" Ye Mei lifted his head and looked at him, then pointed at Ye Wan." This is the future Empress, my mother's adopted daughter. If anything happens to her, no one will be able to save you.”
Ye Tianyun was so angry that his entire body trembled. After a long time, he could only point at the door in front of him and say,"Please leave. I want to mourn my late wife.”
"Lord Marquis, your words are wrong." Ye Mei shook his head and put on an extraordinary appearance." BenGong came here today to tell you one thing.”
She deliberately changed the words 'I' to 'bengong', and the majesty she exuded instantly divided her status into a huge gap with the people in the Marquis fu,"This Chen shi is not allowed to enter my Ye family's ancestral hall. As for her corpse, you can deal with her the way you usually deal with the dead concubines and servants."”
Ye Mei opened his mouth, but his tone did not allow anyone to reject him.
Ye Tianyun's brows furrowed slightly, and he looked troubled. However, Ye Mei's status was no longer the same as before, and he was still as powerful as the sun in the sky. He did not need to fall out with her over a dead person.
Thinking of this, Ye Tianyun immediately changed the corners of his mouth. He bowed and said very politely,"This old minister will obey Your Majesty's orders."
Ye Mei nodded his head in satisfaction, but he still stood where he was. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Tian Yun in front of him, the corners of his mouth curling into a smile that was not a smile.
He immediately understood and waved at the butler beside him." Throw her into the mass grave."”
The butler's face was still covered in tears that he had squeezed out with great difficulty. Now that he heard what he said, he was immediately stunned. He looked at Ye Tianyun in shock and wondered if he had heard wrongly.
"I told you to throw her into the mass grave!”Ye Tianyun repeated impatiently. He glared at him with a fierce look.
The butler came back to his senses and wiped his tears away. He turned around and called for a few more people, only to find that everyone was wiping their tears in unison. Some of the impatient people simply turned around and left. There was no point in crying for someone who couldn't even enter the Ye Clan's ancestral hall. On the contrary, it would make Ye Mei and Ye Tian Yun feel like they were going against him.
"Wait!" The two servants were just about to carry Madam Chen's corpse away when Ye Mei suddenly spoke up,""Give her a straw mat to wrap her body. Don't lose the face of our future empress.”
When she passed by Ye Wan, she glanced at the tattered straw mat as if nothing had happened and then looked away with a look of disgust.
Ye Mei hated Ye Wan and her daughter so much in his heart, but their lives were already gone, so how much could she care about them?
Giving Chen shi a straw mat to preserve her last bit of face was the only thing Ye Mei could do.
Everyone stared at this scene with their mouths agape. The atmosphere in the room, which was originally filled with sorrow, instantly froze.
Ye Mei still maintained her indifferent appearance as she nodded slightly at Ye Tian Yun before turning around and leaving.
Ye Wan hurriedly followed behind, not even willing to look at the others.
Seeing them like this, Ye Mei felt exceptionally disgusted. She couldn't help but quicken her pace. She turned around and looked at Ye Wan, saying indifferently,""You don't need to wait on me here. Go do what you need to do.”
At this time, she had been forced by Ye Mei to the point where she had lost all her temper. She only nodded obediently and said goodbye to Ruan shi before turning around to leave.
"Mei 'er, aren't we going too far?”Mrs. Ruan frowned slightly as she watched Ye Wan's receding figure. She lifted her feet and walked towards the attic.
Ye Mei was speechless and a meaningful look flashed across his eyes. Suddenly, his ears twitched slightly as he looked out of the corner of his eye.
He saw two servants whispering to each other, and he could vaguely hear them talking about him.
Ye Mei's mind moved and he said to Madame Ruan,""Mother, go back first."
Madame Ruan looked at her in confusion, but she did not ask anything. She nodded and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Ye Mei raised his foot and carefully walked towards the direction of the two servants.
"Then who should we rely on now?”The servant carefully looked around and asked after making sure there was no one around.
The other servant's eyes quickly turned and he smiled." Sixth Miss, of course."
"What do you mean?"
"Don't think that the Ruan family is in power now. It's all because of her imperial concubine's daughter backing them up. In a few days, when she sends the imperial edict back to the palace, the sixth miss will be the empress and will become the person with the highest status.”His analysis of the situation was logical and logical.
The servant nodded thoughtfully. Then, he revealed a look of realization and a cunning smile appeared on his face.”
Beside him, Ye Mei heard all these words clearly, his brows creasing slightly as he felt a wave of disgust in his heart. This was just a small marquis residence, yet they were already scheming against each other.
The two servants had already turned around and left. Ye Mei shook his head and left as well. He had already made up his mind. He called the butler over and told him what he needed him to do before returning to the attic.
At this moment, Ruan Shi was chatting happily with Xi Er, but Ye Wan was nowhere to be found.
"Empress, you're back." Xi 'er smiled sweetly at Ye Mei and said.
Ye Mei nodded lightly and looked at Ruan Shi and Xi 'er." Pack your things. We'll move out later."”
"Why?" Ruan Shi blurted out.
"Could it be that Mother likes this place?”she asked. Ruan Shi was speechless. She thought about it for a moment and nodded. Then, she went in with Xi 'er to pack her things.
Ye Mei already had the idea of letting Madame Ruan move out, and when he heard what the two servants said today, he immediately made up his mind.
Madame Ruan had never fought with others. She was gentle and did not play any tricks with others. If she was left alone in the Marquis 'Residence, she was afraid that she would be bullied again.
The housekeeper was rather efficient and in less than half a day, Ye Mei had the mansion ready. He gave the keys to Ye Mei but did not dare to take any silver from her.
Ye Mei shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.
The mansion was in a prime location in the capital. When the owner heard that the Imperial Consort wanted to buy it, he immediately handed over the title deed with both hands without hesitation and stood outside the door waiting for the Imperial Consort to come and move in.# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 54PM #
