Chapter 30: Water Torture

and then handed it to TuTu. "Hide this well," he whispered, "and don't let anyone know you have it." 。After saying all that, he closed his eyes weakly and lay on the ground, no longer wanting to get...The red date tea was brought over in a clay pot, poured into a large bowl brimming full. By Xiangdong's hands, it was presented to Xichun.

Xi Chun looked at the bowl of soup, then at Ye Wenyan, then back at the bowl of soup, then back at Ye Wenyan. 。 "Zhu'er couldn't help but say, "Xi Chun sister, don't you love drinking red date tea It's been brought to your side. Drink it, drink it!" Xi Chun glared at her fiercely, then leaned towards Ye Wenyan, "Sister, what do you mean by this The servant only remembers that you like drinking clear tea and dislike such sweet 。But to pour it out would be too wasteful, we can't afford to waste anything now, that's why... Sister, please don't be angry, I didn't mean to steal your tea. 。"

I didn't blame you" 。"Ye Wen smiled and said, "After all these years together, who else could possibly find fault with a bowl of red date tea" 。"I really want to give you a drink, come on, have it!" "Sis, are you seriously not angry" "No..." 。"She smiled, "I'm not that kind of person who gets angry, come on, drink it. I don't like sweet things." 。"Then the slave girl drank " 。"Xīchūn let out a sigh of relief, lifted the bowl of red jujube tea, with a smile on her face, she drank it all in one gulp." 。"Sis, finished drinking " 。" " 。“Ye Wen nodded, “Jiu’er, continue the water…” 。The girl picked up the water pot that lay on the ground and refilled the sand pot. 。

"Xiangdong, pour 。“ Another big bowl was poured out. Because it had been soaked once, the color of this bowl was much lighter. 。"Sister, how come... it's poured again" Xichun was a little confused."I'm giving you some to drink!" Yè Wēn laughed just as brightly, "You love drinking so much, how could one bowl be enough" 。"Keep drinking!"

"Sis, one bowl is enough" 。"

Not enough >>> 。She shook her head, “I’m not enough, I’m not enough.” 。Xi Chun felt something was amiss. She cautiously looked at Xiang Dong, who lowered her head and didn't look at her. 。Zhuier urged again, “Xichun sister, drink!” Xichun gritted her teeth, lifted the bowl, and drained it in one gulp. 。"Pour again!" After three pots of water, a total of twenty-four bowls of red date tea were poured out. Xichun drank to the very end and lay directly on the ground, her belly round. 。“Sister " 。"Xiangdong couldn't bear it any longer, "Xichun should also know she was wrong, maybe just let it go"

Zhui’er also felt a little sorry for her, “Sister, spare Xichun jie!”

Ye Wenyan squatted down and looked at Xichun seriously, "I've always been generous and never treated the people serving me harshly. You can tell me whatever you like to eat and drink, even though things aren't as good as they used to be, I will definitely do my best to meet your needs." 。"How was it Was the red date tea good We can continue tomorrow" Xi Chun wanted to speak, but nothing came out. She just spat out two mouthfuls of saliva and rolled her eyes straight back. 。Ye Wen stood up and ordered Zhuier and Xiandong: "Drag the man outside and press him face down on your legs. Make him vomit as much as he can, to avoid water poisoning. 。Remember to step away a bit, don't make my yard dirty. Clean it up after you're finished. 。" Two maidservants took the order and dragged Xichun out. 。After about the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, the three returned. Xichun didn't say a word, she just knelt on the ground and cried. 。A servant from the house was knocking at the door outside. It was the big kitchen sending over breakfast. 。Xiangdong opened the door and took the tray. The woman glanced inside, smiled politely, and turned away. 。This was Ye Wen's first meal at the First Rank General's Mansion. As the eldest legitimate sister, she only ate a bowl of rice porridge, half a steamed bun, and a dish. 。She sincerely felt that this kind of food was not as good as the university cafeteria in her previous life. 。After breakfast, Xiangdong asked her, "Today, we'll go to Fuluo Courtyard to pay respects to the old madam. Let Zhuier accompany me! She's never been to such a place before. Following me to get some experience is also a way to make people know that she now serves me..." 。Also, I want to stay and persuade Xichun. After all, I've been with my sister for so many years. 。"

Yè Wēn yán diǎn diǎn tóu, huò zhī tā duì quàn hǎo Xīchūn méi bào dà shǐ xī wàng, dàn Xiāng Dōng xiǎng cháng shì shì, tā yě bù hǎo shén me" 。Still in her white robes, with only a silver hairpin adorning her hair, Zhuier accompanied her all the way to the Fu Lu courtyard of the old lady, starting today's morning and evening devotions. 。This is a rule of the General's Mansion. Every day at the time known as "si shi" (around 10:00 AM), all the female residents must go to greet the Matriarch, showing filial piety and establishing order within the household. 。Of course, there are also those who don't visit often, such as Yè Chúlǐn of the second house and Lady Liú. 。The old madam had always been lenient towards the second house, not caring who was present or absent. But if anyone in the first house made a mistake, she would definitely question them thoroughly for a while, and afterwards, she would go out of her way to accompany them in an apology ceremony. 。Today, because of the Xi Chun incident, she arrived late. When she reached Fu Lu Courtyard, besides Ye Hongzhuang with an injury on her face, all the other female attendants were already seated in the front hall. Even Liu and Ye Chulian, who rarely came this way before, had also arrived. 。She saw that her elder sister's Night Qingmei had a bump on her forehead. Although she had treated it, it wasn't completely healed. At least the external injury would take some time to subside. 。Right now, Ye Qingmei is covering her face with her hair, so it's not very clear. 。The old lady sat primly at the head, her face ashen as she watched her walk step by step into the hall. Before she could even speak, she suddenly slapped the table and roared, "What time is it now You're utterly disrespectful to your elders! Get down on your knees!" Zhuier trembled in fright, but Ye Wenyan remained composed, kneeling obediently. "Granddaughter greets Grandmother late, I hope Grandmother will be magnanimous and not hold grudges against me for my tardiness. Granddaughter is here to keep Grandmother company." 。She bowed her head slightly, then straightened up and looked at the seats on either side. She curtsied to Mrs. Mu, then settled into a chair by Ye Qing's side with a thoughtful expression. 。 The old mistress gathered her strength to start a fire, but before she could, Ye Wenyan knelt and then stood up abruptly, effectively blocking her there, leaving her feeling extremely uncomfortable. 。Ye Wen also ignored him, only opening his mouth to ask Ye Qingmei: "Sister, how is the wound on your forehead Has a doctor come to see you" Ye Qingmei shook her head. "No, but it's okay. After ten and a half months, it should be fine. I just don't know if it will leave a scar." 。" Don't worry, elder sister. I have medicine. It guarantees that you won't be left with a scar. " 。"A girl's face is the most important thing. You are my older sister, how could I let you get disfigured!" As soon as these words came out, the old lady's anger flared up again. She questioned Ye Wenyan, "I heard you went to the palace to treat Qianding's throat, and now you can heal Qingmei's injury, Sisi. Where did you get your skills Where did you learn your medical arts" She replied with a smile, "Answering grandma's question, grandpa loved me very much before. Besides teaching me some martial arts, he also secretly hired a divine doctor to teach me medicine, just in case I would be bullied and have nowhere to seek treatment." 。I used to think that studying medicine was useless, but I've actually put it to use these past few days. 。This also has to thank my grandmother for creating opportunities for me, warmly thanking my grandmother. 。" The old madam felt a tightness in her chest. After the incident last night, she couldn't bear the thought of Ye Wen thanking her again. Whenever that girl thanked her, something bad was bound to happen. " 。Yè Wēn Yán, for some unknown reason, was particularly insistent on thanking her for something. It really got on her nerves. 。But the old woman was not easily fooled. Hearing Ye Wen say this, she immediately asked again: "Taught by a divine doctor Which divine doctor is so capable that he can teach you to make a mute speak""Oh, this is not convenient for me to tell grandma..." 。After all, my grandfather said that this expert could only be known by me, him, and the earth. If anyone else wants to know, they should go stand in front of him and ask. If they come to force me to tell them, it means they're deliberately making things difficult for the old man. 。"

You..." The old lady's words were cut off again. 。"The old man is dead, who can she ask"

Night Wenyan sighed and said with emotion, "Grandfather was truly a farsighted person. I didn't expect my medical skills to be useful now."

。"Don't be too pleased!" The old lady gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "Even if Seventh Prince ascends the throne, he can't immediately take charge. Matters of state are still handled by the Regent King, and Empress Dowager is also there to help." 。Even if he remembers your kindness, it won't be of any use. 。"Grandma, don't get so excited, you'll hurt yourself." 。“She still had a kind smile, "I'm just following the orders of the Seventh Prince. I didn't expect it to be of any use. Grandmother, why are you so anxious As for the Regent King and Empress Dowager, those are palace matters that I have nothing to do with. I'm just a young lady, only concerned about our family affairs and ensuring we all live well. " 。"

finish, he looked at Mu Shi with a kind face, "Mother, how are you"

Mu Shi sighed and didn't seem >>> 。She sighed along with him, "It seems like things haven't been going well." 。It's okay, take your time. Things will always get back on track. 。"

The old madam narrowed her eyes, she really wanted to ask Ye Wenyan what "getting back on track" meant. Sitting beside her, Xiao shi couldn't help but speak up first: “Since you can cure the Seventh Prince's muteness and Qing Mei's injuries, then you must also be able to cure the Sixth Prince and Hong Zhuang >>> 。 。"

Ye Wenyan was puzzled, “They all have a grudge against me. I cured them, so it became the best outcome Of course, it’s definitely the best outcome for you guys, but what about me Remember when Father first passed away, Auntie Er would always hold my hand and treat me as her own, taking care of me along with Mother>>> 。"Less than a hundred days have passed since the great funeral, how has it become so fast" Xiao's anger surged within her, but she forced it down. After all, she had a favor to ask today, and it wouldn't be wise to start by tearing up their relationship. 。Then taking a deep breath, he said again: “Aunt Two hasn’t changed. Aunt Two will still treat you like her own flesh and blood.” 。Auntie knows this is wrong of her, but there's nothing we can do about it. 。Warmth, your grandfather and father are both gone. With the Sixth Prince's temperament, even if you marry into the Duke of肅's Mansion, you will still be at the mercy of others. 。Of course, your family can support you, but right now, the only one who can make the decisions is your uncle. 。He didn't have much military power in his hands, the Sixth Prince wouldn't fear him. 。"You're so headstrong, how can you possibly survive in a place like the Su Manor" She wiped her tears as she spoke, "Wen Yan, if you still haven't let go, then marry back into the family. I'll even give you the position of principal wife." 。"In short, as long as you agree to cure Hongzhuang's face and Liudidian's wounds, Second Aunt will agree to any condition you request! How about it"

"Agree to any condition" Ye Wenyan's eyes turned sinister >>> 。Under her gaze, both the old matriarch and Xiao shi simultaneously felt a shiver run down their spines...reasonable, and Mu Shi had nothing to refute. 。She is well aware of her daughter's temper, and while she wouldn't necessarily look favorably upon Xiao Ziming, it's certainly possible for her to use hi...
