Chapter 405 You Return My Life To Me
"He quickly donned his outer robe and rushed out, simultaneously ordering the guards to investigate.The investigator soon received a report: the wall of the Third Prince's mansion had suddenly collaps...What's even more infuriating is about Ye Wushuang
Jinxiu told Xiao Shubi: "Because the young lady brought by that madam is the same age as our third Miss, so the second master informed everyone in the mansion that after the new Miss enters, she should directly address her as... " 。As for the former Third Miss, upon seeing her again, she is only addressed as Princess Consort Su. 。And our young mistress's courtyard is also being renovated now, to be prepared for the new mistress. 。"
She sighed at this point, "Madam, I feel that this is just the beginning. A new mistress will be entering soon, and I fear our lives will only get harder." 。Xiao Shubi heard this and fainted from anger. 。Just as Xiao Shubi fainted that night, Fu Lu Courtyard, after several days of quiet, began to be "haunted" again. 。At night, Old Madam Ye couldn't sleep soundly. She seemed to have had a nightmare and struggled for a while before sitting up abruptly, her head covered in cold sweat. 。Just as she was about to call upon Jun Tao, the night guard, to bring her some water, she lifted the curtain and saw Jun Tao sleeping soundly beside her bed. She pushed her a few times but couldn't wake her up. She was so angry that she kicked her with her foot. 。 As a result, the kick sent Jun Tao flying. She fell to the ground and didn't wake up, just like she was dead. 。The old madam was a little frightened and subconsciously retreated, but just as she was halfway back, she suddenly looked up and saw a person standing in her room. 。That man was clad in armor, holding a large sword in his hand. Though there were no bloodstains on the blade, the stench of blood was overwhelming. In an instant, the room seemed like a hellscape of demons, or a battlefield strewn with corpses. 。She could smell the stench of death and hear the wails and cries. 。The old lady's head buzzed as if it had exploded, fear reaching its peak in that instant! Her hand jerked from the bedclothes she was clutching, trying to shut them, not wanting to see what lay before her any longer. 。The mosquito net hung like it was stuck to the bed frame, frozen in its lifted position. 。The armored man standing in the room held a big sword, staring straight at the old woman. His mouth opened and closed as he said, “Jiang Xiu, you return my life! Return Jinggui’s life too!” The Old Madam Ye screamed and desperately pulled the blanket over her head. 。The quilt seemed to be deliberately against her, no matter how she tried to pull it up, it wouldn't stay. She tugged at it a few more times, and it actually fell back down, covering Jun Tao completely. 。The old lady was utterly despairing, shouting at the armored figure, "Scram! Get away from me! You're already dead, your son is dead too, the dead cannot return, they absolutely cannot come back! Night Zhenwei, don't come for me, you died of anger yourself, it has nothing to do with me!" The armored figure was indeed the appearance of General Night Lao. He drifted forward a few steps, closer to the old lady. 。"When you were young, you relied on me to secure your position as the mistress of the household. When you grew old, you'll see me as a burden and deliberately try to get rid of me." 。"But Chiang Xiu, Jing Gui is also your son. How can you bear to do this There's no mother in the world as cruel as you! Are you mad"
"I'm not crazy!" The old lady screamed hysterically, as if that was the only way to vent her fear
"I'm not crazy, your son wasn't killed by me. I just told you he was going to die, and you got so angry that you killed yourself. What does it have to do with me Ye Zhenwei, how I raise my children is my business, and it's none of your concern." 。The old mistress, perhaps frightened to the extreme, began to laugh hysterically. Her laughter soon turned into fury again. 。She pointed at the General in front of her and shouted, "The Jiang family saved the Ye family's life. Originally, there was gratitude, but why did you come to propose marriage Do you think that by relying on the prestige of a first-rank general's mansion, marrying a woman from Xiushan County is giving our Jiang family great face Bah! If it weren't for this marriage, my father could have entered the capital to serve as an official, with a bright future ahead. The future of our Jiang family might not be inferior to that of a first-rank general's mansion!" 。To put it plainly, it's your Night family who has wronged the Jiang family. To put it simply, it's you, Ye Zhenwei, who has wronged me!
General Ye, clad in armor, swayed slightly, seeming very angry. He asked Madam Ye: “If you didn't want to marry, just refuse the proposal. Why accept Night family's betrothal gift and dowry Jiang Xiu, don't make your Jiang family seem so righteous and wronged, nor make the Night family sound so despicable. "> 。The reason for the betrothal was also your grandfather's idea. He felt that having a daughter marry into a first-rank general's mansion was much more secure than your father seeking an official position. 。Even if he only reaches the rank of third-rank official, he must first be sent outside to serve. Whether he can return to Beijing in the future is uncertain. Where does his boundless future lie It's because your Jiang family covets the illustrious military exploits of the first-rank General's Mansion that this marriage has been arranged. 。“ He continued walking forward, his killing intent growing stronger. 。
And you, you clearly have someone you love, yet why did you marry into my family with such joy You came in smiling. I still remember your look that day, full of willingness. Where was the forced and wronged expression Jiang Xiu, you wanted to marry into the Ye family because the Ye family is a prominent clan in Beijing, something your Jiang family couldn't even aspire to for generations... 。Between Xiu Shan's son and the prominent Wang family in Beijing, you chose the latter without hesitation. Then you have to live up to your choice, and you have to live up to our Ye family!" "But you wrong everyone, you married into the Ye family but are still restless, having even given birth to a son and becoming a mother, yet you still want to do such despicable things, even daring to give birth to a bastard child" 。Jiang Xiu, do you take me for a fool Can't you tell if your son is mine or not I spare you from being sent back to Xiushan County out of respect for the Jiang family. I do this for your ancestors, so they won't be ashamed even in death. 。I too feel sorry for our son, I don't want him to lose his mother at such a young age. 。I've been away fighting for so many years, I really haven't spent much time with you. It wasn't easy for you to hold down the fort all by yourself, so I endured it. 。"But you have to have some shame! You can't let me raise another man's son and then let him harm my own son!"
The old madam laughed heartily, "You still know that you neglected me You still know that I am the one holding up this family Ye Zhenwei, if I had known marrying a great general would mean living like this, I wouldn't have married into the Ye family, not even in death! I wouldn't have given birth to your son! No, it's not just a son. I'm carrying twins. I have a daughter too! But you left me alone at home giving birth while you were out fighting wars, ignoring everything that happens here!" 。"I gave birth to those two children after a harrowing ordeal. My daughter was crushed to death by your darling son in the womb! I watched helplessly as my own child came out stillborn. Where were you when that happened Where were you when I cried until my eyes were blurred"
The old lady abruptly stood up from her bed, looking down at the person before her, “I so desperately wanted a daughter! She would have been so beautiful. I would have raised her well, hired the best masters to teach her music, calligraphy, painting..." 。In the future, when she comes of age, she will marry into the palace and become a noble concubine, or even an empress. That's the kind of glory my daughter deserves. 。What is she How does she deserve to be Empress It should be my daughter who becomes Empress, giving birth to a prince and then inheriting the throne. 。Then, whether it's the Ye family or the Jiang family, they will all become the most illustrious families in Northern Qi. The entire world will have a share of us. 。“She became increasingly agitated as she spoke, “But all of this is impossible now. My daughter is dead! It’s because your household staff neglected her, because you weren't there to stay by my side.” 。"You only know how to fight, how to conquer land for the Quan family. But you don't know that in my belly, your son stole all of my daughter's life and hope. He didn't even leave her a bite to eat, she starved to death!"
The old madam cried out in pain, "Your son killed my daughter, shattered all my hopes. Why should I still live with you Now that both of you are dead, I wake up laughing in the middle of the night..." 。Ye Zhenwei, you see your son down there, don't you I tell you, he died a miserable death. His nose was burned to shreds, his eyes blinded by the flames. It was truly a sight to behold! Ye Zhenwei, are you pleased
General Ye remained silent, for an eternity it seemed, without a word. >>>。Finally, when he spoke again, he asked the old lady directly, "Who did it" The old lady sneered, "Guess who did it" "Yourself" General Ye said, then shook his head. "It couldn't be you. Back then, you said that someone wanted to kill my son, but it wasn't you..." 。"You merely acquiesced, you simply didn't stop it, so, was the one who acted that wild child Or was it your adulterer Jiang Xiu, how could a woman be so vicious" "I won't tell you..." 。"Even Old Madam has become clever," said Ye Zhenwei. "I won't tell you who made the move." 。Just guess, in the underworld, on the Yellow Springs Road, you can guess well. 。I want you to be a fool even in death, I want you to die without knowing who killed you. 。This is what true satisfaction feels like, this is what revenge truly means! Avenge my daughter's death, and avenge the woman you brought back with you all those years ago!” The old mistress of the night laughed more and more wildly, “You say you were fighting outside, but you returned to Beijing with a pregnant woman. Ye Zhenwei, you are a despicable villain, a hypocritical hypocrite! You deserve to die! Your son deserves to die too! And it's not over yet, Ye Zhenwei, listen carefully to me, one day I will make sure you have no children left, and one day I will make sure your grandson dies too. 。Only when they are all dead can I feel at ease. 。 The old general was trembling now, his large blade slashing wildly. Each swing was aimed at the old woman. 。 Unfortunately, the big knife was just an image after all and couldn't possibly really cut anyone. 。Even filled with murderous intent, it could only transform that aura into the air, adding a touch of grief and eerieness. 。The old lady was still shaken. She couldn't tell if the knife had missed her or if she had dodged it well enough. 。She huddled in the corner of the bed, clutching her head and dodging as best she could. She muttered to herself, "Don't kill me, I can't die yet, your grandson is still alive, and so are your granddaughters, how can I die I have to live to kill them all, to exterminate your entire family!"graced concubine had once been hanged there. 。That concubine was banished to the northern border by the previous emperor over a decade ago. Though not in cold palace, it clearly showed the previous em...
