s also lost her dearly beloved fiancé" 。But we have to maintain our dignity. My daughter would rather not get married than end up like you, sacrificing her honor for nothing. 。"What do you mean by '...The Tang family is actually someone who loves gossip very much, she can even endure a lot of scorn just to hear some gossip.

But this time was different. Although she was also curious about the gossip of the Ye family, her intuition told her that it was better not to meddle. Knowing too much about the Ye family's affairs could easily get her involved as well. 。If she wasn't mistaken, her aunt must have pulled off something big, and she seemed to think she did it flawlessly, without a single trace. 。But in fact, Ye Si Jie had already heard the rumors and started her revenge. 。She was panicked. If this had something to do with the old general's death, she was in deep trouble. Things could get really bad for the Jiang family if things went south. 。She had to leave the capital as soon as possible and return to Xiushan County to tell Jiang Shuo about this, and then the whole family could think of a countermeasure. 。Secondly, Tang Shi got up early and packed a simple bag, bringing only her own clothes. She didn't even bother to ask Ye Jing Sheng for compensation for the jewelry, fleeing as if her life depended on it. 。As she left, the gatekeeper of the night mansion had just opened the gates when something darted out of the mansion, startling them. They thought it was a mouse at first. 。Look closer, hey isn't that Aunt from Xiushan County 。The doorman was also a kindhearted person, quickly rushing forward and warmly stopping the person. 。Tangshi was about to cry, "What are you stopping me for I didn't take anything from the Ye family! Everything in my bag is what I brought from Xiushan County myself. You can check if you don't believe me, it's all just clothes..." 。The doorman was also helpless, “Where did you get this from We’re all relatives, how could we possibly do that” 。"Let me ask, Aunt Grandma, where are you going" Don't matter where, the manor will definitely send a carriage to take you. You can't walk alone like this!" Several servants pulled and dragged Madam Tang back. Madam Tang was on the verge of tears. They even sent her to Fulu Courtyard. “You’re the wife of Old Lady's family member, Old Lady is ill, it’s time for family to take care of her. Aunt Grandma should stay here with Old Lady for a while! As for going back home, that has to wait until Old Lady recovers." 。Today at Fulu Courtyard, the one attending to the sick was Ye Chulian. Seeing that Ye Wenyan wasn't around, Tang shi started thinking about running away. 。This time, instead of running out the front door, I chose the northernmost gate of General's Mansion. Under the guise of chatting with a vegetable vendor, I slipped away. 。The servants at the Night House didn't stop her this time, but they did take her bag, saying: "Auntie, you're out for a stroll and carrying such a big bag, it must be so heavy. Let us take it back to your residence." 。"

Tang Yi gritted her teeth and decided, forget the package, it's fine as long as people can leave.

" 。That was it. She followed the vegetable vendor all the way to his home. Only then did she look around, seeing no one following her, and immediately ran towards the city gate. 。After all, one walks on two legs. Even if you run, it takes some time to reach the city gate. 。Even though they were heading out of Lin'an, they still weren't allowed to leave the inner city. They either had to take a carriage or walk slowly. 。This would make it even slower for the Tang family to leave the city. 。Just as the light was in sight, Tang Shi could even see the city gate of the inner city. At this moment, a carriage drove towards her and stopped right beside her, blocking her path forward. 。

Tāng Shī's heart skipped a beat, her heart sinking with a sense of foreboding.

Sure enough, as the carriage curtains were lifted, a smile appeared from within. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!。"Auntie, where are you going I see that direction leads out of the city! Why aren't we taking a carriage if we're leaving the city This is within the inner walls of Lin'an. It might not feel too far to walk..." 。If you want to go outside the city, it will take several hours to walk there. 。"Aunt-grandmother wouldn't really want to walk all the way back, would she Back to Xiushan County Hmph, it's impossible. After all, this place is a long way from Xiushan County. If she walked back, it would take a whole month! Does Aunt-grandmother have any silver What will she eat and drink along the way Where will she stay"

Tang shi was a little stunned. She had ignored this detail, only thinking about running away quickly and not getting involved with the Ye family's affairs>>> 。But he forgot that his burden had been taken down, and he didn't have a single silver coin on him, not even a piece of jewelry to sell. 。This way, how do we get back to Xiushan We might be eaten by wolves halfway! She was trembling with fear. Looking at Zhuai again, she found her a little frightening too. 。Giving a tree medicine is strange the more you think about it. 。"Grandaunt, please get in the carriage. Don't wait for your servant to come down and invite you." 。The little girl kept throwing her words at him, not a bit polite. 。 Mrs. Tang had no choice but to get in the carriage. As soon as she entered, she saw Ye Wenyan sitting inside drinking tea. Upon seeing her, he merely raised his eyelids and then listened as Zhuier instructed the coachman, "Go!"The coachman urged the horse forward. Mrs. Tang lifted the curtain and took a glance. The coachman was a young man who was rather handsome. Although his skin was slightly tanned, one could tell at a glance that he wasn't a professional coachman. 。 She started gossiping again, and she asked Ye Wenyan with a voice full of curiosity, "Fourth Miss, is that man outside your sweetheart" Zhuier moved her hand, touching a gray brick she had deliberately placed beside her. “Aunt, if you can’t speak properly, just shut your mouth. This servant has a bad temper. Although I don’t have needles on me to sew your mouth shut, I can still knock out your teeth with a brick.” 。If your grandmother's teeth are hard enough, give it a try. If not, apologize to my older sister. 。"Why are you saying that Your great-aunt is an elder, you shouldn't talk to elders like that." 。“

Just as Mrs. Tang was about to nod in agreement, Ye Wen continued, “Grandma just got on the carriage and took a liking to Ji Dedu. She even raised the curtain to take a closer look. It seems Ji Dedu's appearance caught Grandma's eye.” 。Then why not let Ji Dedu go back to Xiushan County with Aunt Grandma After arriving, tell Grandpa and see if he can stay by Aunt Grandma's side. 。Although this might not sound good, if Grandma insists and goes back to create a scene with Grandpa, he should agree, right ” Jui continued, “If he really disagrees, then just get a divorce. Or have Grandpa take his wife back.” 。Well, for the sake of the young folks, this little thing is worth taking a chance on. 。Tang shi was dumbfounded. It was she who wanted to consult the Eight Nights Wen Yan divination, how did it suddenly come upon her Looking at Ye Wenyan again, she was still sitting there drinking tea calmly. The carriage swayed, but the tea in her hand remained untouched, she drank with such leisure... 。

Tang shi did not dare to talk nonsense. She had already learned about Ye Wen's power, a single word could bring the dead back to life. Just seeing him a few times, she lost every time. How could she still have no memory

Seeing that she was silent, Zhu er stopped talking about whether it was worth it or not. She only told Tang shi: "Aunt grandma, you should think more about the things your age should be thinking about. After all, our family's servants really wouldn't be interested in this kind of thing." 。"

Ms. Tang covered her chest, feeling a little stifled. " 。The carriage went round and round, making nine turns in total. Tang counted them carefully. The more he counted, the more he felt something was wrong, because this wasn't the way back to his home at night. There were only four turns on the way back. 。She was a little scared, "Where are you taking me" Wouldn't it be better to take me somewhere deserted to kill me Ye Wenyan said, "Aunt, don't be afraid. This is the Inner City of Lin'an, the place where Beqi law is most strictly enforced. No one would dare to do anything unjust here." 。I just want to take my aunt to visit some truly wealthy and influential families, so that when my aunt returns to Xiushan County, she will have many interesting stories to tell. 。"In a place like Xiushan, if someone had seen the world in the capital, they could certainly talk for ages, wouldn't they"Mrs. Tang nodded, "Yes, they could talk quite a while." 。A few years ago, someone climbed their way into the palace through a distant relative. After returning, they bragged about it for over half a year. 。Later, it was learned that he hadn't really entered the palace at all. He had just followed a eunuch in charge of procurement into a courtyard used for receiving vegetables. Although it was also within the palace with jade-paved floors and glazed tile roofs, it was still far from the true inner court.

Tang shi sighed upon arriving, "Sigh, even if it's farther away, at least he has walked on jade bricks. He is still stronger than us after all."

”

Ye Wen asked her, "Your aunt is a relative of a first-rank general's mansion. Has she never used the general's mansion's influence to enter the palace before"

Tang shook her head, "No, this kind of favor isn't something you can just borrow."

"That's nothing special!" Ye Wenyan said, "Every time there is a palace banquet, if other families encounter relatives visiting, if the relationship is good, they can be brought into the palace to see the world." 。"Grandmother, hasn't she ever visited during the holidays these past few years"

Tang thought about it for a moment and let out a low hum, "She hasn't come in recent years, but she used to."

I remember I visited before you were born, right when it was the fifteenth day of August. 。That time, there was a palace banquet held in the palace. As a result, your grandmother only allowed your family to attend, leaving me behind at the residence. 。At that time, I didn't think much of it either. After all, the palace wasn't a place anyone could just enter. But hearing you say this, relatives of others can go to the palace and broaden their horizons. Why can't I I've already arrived, and she still doesn't take me with her" Ye Wenyan looked at Tang Shi with regret, "Perhaps it's just that your relationship with your grandmother isn't close enough, or maybe deep down, she dislikes you, which is why she left you behind in the mansion and didn't take you there." 。"Isn't that humiliating Aunt Grandmother then She's her own brother's daughter-in-law!""So what if she's her brother's daughter-in-law" Ye Wenyan said to himself, "Just from the fact that Grandma gave Bai Pinxiang to Jiang Family's illegitimate child, it can be seen that Grandma and her younger brother aren't close at all..." 。"Even one's own younger brother wouldn't be so close to his sister-in-law, how could she" The more Tang Shi listened, the worse she felt. Finally, she couldn't hold back and scolded, "Tsk! This dead old woman, she came to the capital to enjoy wealth and glory, then turned around and suppressed the Jiang family so they can't even leave Xiushan County, how poisonous is her heart"mediately said, "Send them to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment." 。"Ye Wen thought for a moment, then tossed out a pill, "Have him take this. It's a pity if he dies before the interrogation eve...
