Auntie Wen sobbed.
"Mother Xi must have been framed.
She has always been so sensible since she was young.
The First Madam and the Old Madam have taught her how to read and write.
The Xiao family must have wronged mother Xi!
Furthermore, the Xiao family had used coffins to send her back that day.
They had given up on the idea of killing her.
Now that they have suddenly brought up the idea of picking her up, they must be up to something."
The Nian family was annoyed by Auntie Wen's words.
When she heard her mentioning Old Master Ye's original wife, it was obvious that she wanted to use the dead to suppress her.
As such, she interrupted her immediately.
"Enough.
Who would have a well-educated daughter do something so shameless!
She didn't even leave a burial for the Xiao family.
Fortunately, she survived because of her lowly fate.
Otherwise, she would have been a wandering ghost!"
Auntie Wen's face paled when she heard that.
Her lips twitched for a long while before she said, "Madam, how can you curse Mother Xi like that?
No matter how bad she is, she is still the daughter of the Ye family's main branch.
How can she call you Mother?"
"The legitimate daughter?
Mother?
That's enough.
I can't bear the title of mother.
It doesn't matter if I sacrifice my life.
If my Wei'er and Feng'er were implicated, I can spare her!" When Speaking of this, the Nianshi gave Concubine Wen a fierce stare and cursed in her heart.
If it hadn't been for the old lady who asked for help from the physician that day, she would have allowed the bitch to hurt her children in the family.
If we followed her order, how could the coffin be sent back?
It would be easy to make trouble if the family died.
The daughter who was always married out was splashed everywhere.
The Xiao family's business was great and its reputation was even more important.
She would have put the coffin at the gate to force the Xiao family to think carefully.
But Concubine Wen was quick to move, and Ye Xiaoxi was still angry after opening the coffin!
Now she was hung in the middle of death.
Not only did the old lady have many scruples, but the Ye family was also tied up.
The Nian family blamed the old lady for being so muddle-headed that they couldn't tell the severity of the matter.
The Ye family had an unfilial daughter, so what would happen to her daughter in the future?
How would her son be able to survive in the future?
Let's not talk about the future.
She had only gotten married to Wei'er in the past after much difficulty.
However, the other party was already regretting it now.
If the other party really wanted to break off the engagement because of this matter, they would have to see if she didn't tear that slut apart!
"Madam, I really can't promise the Xiao family.
I'm pushing Xi'er into the fire pit, Madam."
"What are you guys standing there for?
Why aren't you pulling her out?
What bad luck!
You're making so much pain in my brain!"
"Mrs., Mrs.."
Upon hearing this, Green Pearl was about to enter when he saw a figure running in from outside the courtyard.
The lady was crying as she walked in, so she didn't notice Green Pearl in the corner.
It turned out to be Third Young Lady.
When she saw Ye Nanzhen and recalled what the little maidservants said yesterday when they were chewing on her tongue, she put her foot away.
"Mrs.
and Mrs., did the Wang family send someone to break off the engagement?" Ye Nanzhen asked the New Year's mother with swollen eyes, crying, "Mrs.
and Mrs., please help me to talk to the Wang family.
If I, if I am broken off the engagement, what will happen in the future?
I will definitely be laughed at by others."
Unexpectedly, Ye Nanzhen suddenly came over and was as rash as usual.
The look of the madam was even worse.
She immediately shouted, "Where did you hear these words?
This is something a girl can talk about.
Go back to your room!
Don't you think it's shameful enough?"
Ye Nanzhen only noticed then that the Nian family was in a very bad mood, so he quickly stopped sobbing.
Then he stood there with red eyes and muttered aggrievedly, "Nowadays, isn't it Second Sister who has embarrassed me?
If I was broken off the engagement, that would be really shameful."
The Nian family frowned and looked worse.
Ye Nanzhen was a concubine's daughter, and the woman left before she married Ye Guoxie.
The old lady had already brought Ye Nanxi with her at that time, so she had no time and energy to take care of the other child.
Therefore, Ye Nanzhen grew up with the Nian family.
The Nian family would naturally not value a girl who had nothing to rely on and was not very smart, but they had never been harsh on her in daily life.
Ye Nanzhen was short-tempered and careless, so she had a rare intimacy with the Nian family.
Therefore, she would not be too careful when speaking with them.
After Ye Nanzhen muttered those words, he found that Auntie Wen was here, so he asked again, "Auntie Wen, why hasn't Second Sister returned to the Xiao Family?
Hasn't she recovered?
I heard that the Xiao Family also sent someone today.
Did you discuss with Madam when to send Second Sister back?"
The Nian family snorted coldly.
"How could she be so kind?
She wants your Second Sister to stay at home forever.
It would be nice if everything here and there were bad news for her!
"
Auntie Wen clenched her fists tightly.
However, before she could say anything, Ye Nanzhen said, "Auntie Wen, why don't you send Second Sister back!" Then, she turned to the Nianshi hurriedly, "Madam, I'm already like this.
If Second Sister really doesn't go back, won't Fourth Sister be even more powerful?" Even though she had a rash temper and often spoke stupidly, she was not really stupid.
As such, her voice grew lower and lower as she spoke.
Then, she looked at Nianshi somewhat shyly.
This was not the most annoying thing in the year.
Ye Nanxi's death almost pierced the Ye family's sky.
After struggling for a month, she finally saw some opportunities to remedy the situation.
However, there were still people who chattered incessantly in front of her and wanted to ruin this opportunity.
How could she not be angry?
Auntie Wen suppressed the anger and uneasiness in her heart and spoke again, "Madam, this matter..."
However, Madam Ling did not want to listen to her any longer.
She went to the side and ordered, "Go and see if Nanny Cui is back.
Make her come to me immediately when she is back.
Aunties at home are getting more and more unreasonable.
I think that you must have learned something inappropriate from Aunties.
You have to invite Nanny Cui to teach them how to behave!"
Outside, Luzhu's heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
Nanny Cui was the most trusted servant of the year.
Not only did she look cold-blooded, she also had many ways to deal with people.
Other than the servants on Old Madam's side, the maids in the manor had all experienced her methods.
The maidservant in the hall had just received the order to leave when Lu Zhu rushed to the door and shouted, "Auntie Wen, Third Young Madam has woken up and is looking for you.
Please come over quickly, Auntie."
The Nianshi suddenly heard the voice coming from outside and her anger grew.
She slammed her hand down on the table.
"Even maids have learned from their master how to behave like this.
They yelled and yelled out loud from the outside.
What kind of behavior is this!"
Ye Nanzhen was frightened and stood aside.
Auntie Wen wiped away the tears on her face slowly.
She knew that she couldn't get a good result in the New Year's Manor.
Now that Madam Xi had sent Green Beads over, she might have known it.
At this moment, she must be panicked and had to comfort her.
Just as Auntie Wen was thinking of how to avoid the punishment of the New Year, someone from the Old Madam's side came over, saying that they wanted the New Year's family to make a trip there.
Auntie Wen heaved a sigh of relief and was about to leave.
However, the Nianshi called out to her.
She said coldly, "You'd better remember who you are.
I am the only one who has made the decision regarding the matters of the inner courtyard!
It is your blessing to let you serve old sir.
Don't be ungrateful!"
"Yes." Auntie Wen lowered her head and answered obediently.
She left carefully when she saw that the Nians did not say anything else.
Outside, the green pearls were waiting anxiously.
When they saw Auntie Wen come out, they finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Then, they quickly walked over and said in a low voice, "Third Young Madam specially sent me to look for Auntie.
Auntie, go back to the Purple Bamboo Garden first.
We still have to discuss this with Third Young Madam to get things done."
Auntie Wen had dried her tears when they left the main hall.
Then, she asked the green bead, "Does Mother Xi know?"
The green beads nodded solemnly.
Auntie Wen quickened her pace.
The two returned to the Purple Bamboo Court and entered the room.
Ye Nanxi was still lying in bed, lost in thought.
Hearing their footsteps, Ye Nanxi retracted her thoughts and sat up.
Auntie Wen hurried over to hold her and said, "I've just recovered.
It's better to lie down.
It's cold and you'll catch a cold when you get up."
"Auntie, have you been crying?" After Luzhu helped to put the pillow up, Ye Nanxi held the quilt and leaned on it, looking at Auntie Wen with concern.
"It's just a few tears.
It's not a big deal." Auntie Wen shook her head carelessly and looked at Ye Xiaoxi with worry.
"But what can I do about it?
It seems that madam is determined.
But Old Sir is not here now and Old Madam doesn't want to see me."
Ye Nanxi thought for a while and asked, "When is the Xiao family going to send someone to pick them up?"
"I guess it will only be a few days." Auntie Wen suddenly shuddered when she said that.
She only realized that the room was very cold today.
As such, she glanced at the charcoal brazier and then turned to say to the green beads, "Why don't you add more carbon?
It is snowing outside.
Mother Xi is so weak, how can she withstand the cold in the room!"
"It was just burned.
When I got up this morning to add new carbon, I found that all the charcoal in the purple bamboo garden was soaked by someone.
I had to go to the kitchen to ask for it again, so I was delayed for a while."
Auntie Wen was so angry that she clenched her fists and said, "Who did this?
Are those two little girls not attentive enough to serve me?
Do they ask me to bribe them in such a short time?"
"Auntie, don't worry about this.
I will control them later." Ye Xiaoxi said indifferently and then asked, "Are the Xiao family still in our mansion at this time?
Who did they send the letter?"
"It's a letter from an attendant of Ha Chilie.
However, an old woman in charge of Mr.
Huarui also came with her.
Although they had returned at this time, the old woman wanted to see you.
However, you were sleeping and you were not in good health yet.
Mrs.
Hua didn't say yes but received the letter because she was concerned about the Ye Family's face."
Huarui's wife was Xiao Xuan's mother, the current Emperor's eldest sister, and the current matriarch of the Xiao family.
When she married into the Xiao family as a princess, the deceased Emperor granted her first-class wife and the Empress Dowager granted her the title Huarui.
Since the First Elder Princess liked this title very much, she was addressed as Huarui's wife from the beginning to the end of her marriage.
Ye Nanxi frowned slightly.
"Madam has just agreed to it?"
Auntie Wen's expression grew slightly dark.
"I was not present then, but I guess that he had already agreed.
Otherwise, he would not have gone back so quickly."
Ye Nanxi was silent for a moment before she said, "Why must they ask me to go back?"
Although it was not surprising that the Xiao family proposed to take her back, the Xiao family's decision was still surprising according to the current situation.
According to common sense, at this time, the Xiao family should have sent her a divorce letter.
How could a wife who had lost her virginity accept it?
Was it to completely silence her?
On that day, the man delivered poison to his wife, but the Xiao family thought that the poisoning failed because of her arrival.
So they wanted to do it again and again.
Did they have to do that again?
Aunt Wen looked at Ye Xiaoxi with some concern.
Her lips moved, but she couldn't ask anything.
Looking back on that day, it felt like a nightmare.
Fortunately, she was not reconciled and offered a big price to let someone open the coffin.
God knows how pitiful her daughter was.
Her daughter was still alive, but she had only one breath left.
Later, she was rescued easily.
Then the old lady, the master, the ladies and others took turns to ask, but finally, they only got one sentence from her daughter, "I don't remember."
She didn't remember what had happened in the Xiao Family.
She didn't remember whether the rumors were true or not.
She didn't remember how she had taken the poison.
She didn't remember anything about the Xiao Family except a few people.
No one in the Ye Family believed Ye Xiaoxi except Auntie Wen.
Her daughter knew that those rumors could not be true.
According to the means of Madam Huarui, the Xiao family must have released the Xiao Family on purpose to restrain the Ye Family so that the Ye Family would not dare to seek the Xiao Family for Miss Ye's death.
Therefore, all the hardships had to be borne by her daughter alone.
She did not know how the three years after she got married lasted.
It was poor that she had only been twenty years old, but she had such an ending.
It was because of the pressure of the Xiao Family that her daughter had to take poison and committed suicide!
She was blinded by lard.
In those days, she actually felt that her daughter had a good home.
She secretly felt proud for a few days, but she didn't expect that she almost lost her daughter.
Auntie Wen sniffed and looked at Ye Xiaoxi and said, "Don't worry.
We can't provoke the Xiao family, but we can hide forever!"
