That night, Ye Wenyan never slept.

She sent Shen'er and Xiangdong, but left Mama Ji to accompany her in the house.

Mama Ji asked her, "Is there something wrong with Miss?" Still going out at night? ”

"Hmm." She nodded, "There is something to do, but if you don't leave the house, you don't need to follow your grandmother." I just can't sleep at this moment, and if Mama can't sleep either, let's just talk, whatever you want. ”

Mama Ji thought about it for a while, and said, "There is really something I want to tell Miss, and it is about Second Miss." ”

Ye Wenyan frowned, a little irritable, "Why is it her again?" ”

Mama Ji smiled when she saw it, "No way, who let this second lady play too much!" In fact, it's still about being in Fulu Courtyard today. The second lady was also there in the morning and dusk, but the old slave couldn't listen to it, so she whipped her, and the bone in her arm was broken, and the second lady asked someone to help her back and raise it. The old slave knew that Miss you didn't want to see that person, so he beat and beat him, and there was nothing to say. But after all, there is still the eldest lady here, and I am afraid that I will be unhappy, so the old slave thinks that I still have to tell the young lady, young lady, you have a plan in your heart, and the eldest lady can talk about it in the future. ”

"Broken bones?" Ye Wenyan was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with satisfaction, "Good fight." ”

"What if the eldest lady asks?"

"I won't ask." Ye Wenyan saw this matter very clearly, "If you want to ask, she will ask when she goes back to Qingliangyuan today." Mother is not a foolish person, but she can't help it when she has such a daughter. There are a few mothers in the world who can be as ruthless as our old lady. ”

Mama Ji sighed for a while, and then said: "There are shortcomings of not being ruthless, what the young lady said to the eldest lady today, the old slave heard it." There are some things that the old slaves don't understand, what is past and present, these old slaves don't know. The old slave only knew that the young lady said that if there is a conflict between you and the second young lady one day in the future, the eldest lady will definitely stand on the side of the second young lady. The old slave feels aggrieved for Miss when he thinks about this, and I just hope that there will never be such a day! ”

Ye Wenyan smiled, "It's okay if it's okay or not, I don't really care." She is my mother, and if she can give me motherly love for a day, I will respect her for a day. If one day she chooses to give up on me, then I will also walk in style, and I will not hold on to the table legs. ”

"Miss doesn't seem to have much nostalgia for the night house?"

"Yes." Ye Wenyan nodded, "Do you think I'm a little cold-blooded like this?" But that's actually what I am. I am a person who is more casual, whether it is a good family or a person, I will gather if I have a fate, and I will disperse if I have no fate. Be sincere when you get together, and don't complain about each other when you disperse, this is the best state. As my mother said, I have my own things to do, and if I am stumbled by one official residence after another in my life, it will be the most failure. ”

"What is the young lady going to do?"

Ye Wenyan smiled, "Mama is a member of the Ji family, and the Ji family should know best what Shi Liyuan has been pursuing in this life." ”

"Yes." Mama Ji never hid it from her, "Lord Emperor Zun has been alive for four hundred and fifty years, and the only question is why the spiritual power of heaven and earth suddenly disappeared, and the only pursuit is that the human lifespan can return to a hundred years old." ”

Ye Wenyan nodded, "What he wants to do is what I want to do." ”

Mama Ji finally understood why Ye Wenyan cared so much about the Ye family, how could a person who had the world in his heart be stumped by a house? Miss Yesi's vision is the world, but it is not two and a half people on the one-third of an acre of land in the Ye family.

No wonder Lord Dizun fell in love with her, such a girl, who can not fall in love?

When night arrived, Wen Yan got up from the soft chair, "Mama go to sleep, I'll go around the house." Although it doesn't matter if they fight for life or death, and it doesn't matter if they have this family business, there are some things that should be investigated. ”

Mama Ji asked her, "Miss really doesn't want the old slave to follow?" ”

She smiled and shook her head, "No. ”

Ye Wenyan's purpose tonight was to visit Fulu Courtyard, mainly to see the big tree that had been poured medicinal soup. Although it has been so long and there have been several heavy snowfalls, there should not be many clues left.

But she is the head of the Xuanmai Ye family, and how can the means she have comparable to ordinary mortals. As long as the medicine was really poured under the tree, there would definitely be traces left, and she could use her spiritual power to use some means to find out the truth of the year.

In the dead of night, there was a thudding sound in the silent nighthouse, which seemed very abrupt in the night when people were already asleep.

The voice was heard when he was about to approach the Fulu Courtyard, Ye Wenyan cast a stealth spell and walked into the courtyard, silent, shadowless, not even a footprint was left, no one could find that there was suddenly an extra person in this courtyard.

She just stood quietly in the courtyard and watched, watching six or seven mothers-in-law take a big axe and cut down a big tree with all their might.

The flowers urge the spirit, the five senses are dispersed, and between ten breaths, a faint smell of medicine enters the nose.

It was the smell of decoction residue mixed with earth, and the medicine was poured down the trunk of the tree, so the smell of the bark was mixed in with it.

It seems that Empress Dowager Li is right, at least this tree has indeed been poured with decoction. Coupled with the fact that so many mothers-in-law and sons-in-law who have been trained by the old lady for many years cut down trees together, it means that the old lady has begun to clean up the aftermath for what she did at the beginning.

Ye Wenyan put his arms around him, found another tree to lean on, and kept watching them cut down. After watching it for half an hour, I finally heard a mother-in-law speak: "You can't cut it like this, even if the tree is cut down, the roots are still there." The old lady meant that it must be done neatly, and not the slightest trace can be left, and the roots of the tree cannot be left either. ”

"That's too much work." In addition, the mother-in-law said, "Although the seven of us cut together, this is not something that can be done in one night." What's more, the movement can't be too big, which is a bit of a trick that people can't use. ”

"Yes! To remove it is to dig it up, this tree is so thick that the roots must grow very deep, so when do you have to dig it? Besides, is it too eye-catching to suddenly dig such a big pit? ”

"It's better to cut it, wouldn't it be good for Ming'er to set up a small stone table in this place to block it?"

Mother-in-law, you said a word to me, and in the end I didn't discuss a result, but the mother-in-law at the head said: "Cut it first, even if you want to dig the roots, you will dig it after cutting, so it's easier to dig." The old lady said that after the tree is cut, it will be chopped into firewood, so we just cut it down and put it in the backyard, and someone will chop it tomorrow. ”

After making up their minds, the mothers-in-law continued to cut down trees.

Thanks to the fact that these mothers-in-law are all practicing martial arts, their hands are strong, and there is internal force, several people take turns to cut, and after two pillars of incense, the big tree finally broke the last layer of bark and fell down.

The three mothers-in-law worked together to hold the trunk of the tree so that it did not fall and hit the house, and also prevented the tree from making a louder noise when it fell.

Ye Wenyan watched them carry the trees to the backyard, and the axes were all sent back to the firewood room, and when they came back, they were all tired and panting, and after sitting on the ground for a while, someone entered the main house.

She also followed, and saw that the old lady was not asleep, she was sitting on the couch, and Jun Tao was accompanying her.

When the woman entered the house, she whispered, "The tree has been cut down, but the roots have not been removed." The old slave came to ask the old lady for instructions, if the roots were dug up tonight, they would definitely not be filled in before dawn, and they would be seen tomorrow morning. It's better to break the trunk first, wait for the dawn to go out and buy some bricks and soil, wait for it to get dark and dig again, and then spread the bricks directly after digging. In addition, the people in the courtyard are sleeping very deeply, and the power of the medicine will make them wake up in another two hours, please rest assured that the old lady. ”

The old lady sat on the couch with a gloomy face and didn't speak, so Jun Tao asked: "Only the trunk of the tree is broken, and it will still be conspicuous tomorrow, right?" ”

The woman said, "You can move some tables and chairs and put them there, so they won't be too conspicuous." ”

Jun Tao thought for a while and nodded, "It's only like this, I can't get bricks and soil in the middle of the night." As he spoke, he glanced at the old lady, and when he saw that the old lady still didn't say anything, he waved his hand to let the woman retreat.

There were only two masters and servants left in the house, and of course, there was also a hidden Ye Wenyan, but they couldn't see it.

Ye Wenyan saw Jun Tao bring tea to the old lady, persuaded her to take a sip, and then asked, "What does the old lady think of this?" ”

The old lady snorted coldly, "Not how. Removing the tree and leaving the roots is the same as cutting the grass without removing the roots. I mean to keep everything done, and it's better to chop the tree into firewood overnight so that it doesn't go wrong. But listen to their reasons, this can't do it or that, since it can't do anything, what do you do with your old body? Has the old man spent less money on them over the years? Look at this time, since Wen Yan came back from King Su's Mansion that night, there was not one thing they could do. It's better not to do this, the old body is to raise ten dogs, which is much better than raising them. ”

Jun Tao hurriedly persuaded her: "Now that the fourth lady is strong, the old lady can't do without these mothers-in-law." Let's just talk about it, but you can't do something like a dog. As for the tree, don't worry, the old lady is not missing. When the morning dawned, the slave and maid went out to buy it herself, made sure that all the bricks and soil were bought, and then dug the roots and backfilled them overnight, and they must have done the same thing as if there had never been a tree. ”

The old lady nodded helplessly, "No matter how urgent it is, it can only be like this, if they can do things as reliable as you, the old man's life will not be like this, in the end, it has to be your intimacy." The old lady said as she lay down, "Jun Tao, the old man asked you, did you pour the medicine with your own hands?" Has it passed through the hands of others? ”

Jun Tao immediately shook her head, "Absolutely not, and even if the slave and maid go to fall, it is only at night, or when there is no one around, they must be cautious, and it is impossible for people to see it." ”

"That's weird, how did Ye Wenyan know that the medicine was poured out?" The old lady closed her eyes as she spoke, and soon fell asleep, even snoring.

Jun Tao tucked the corner of the quilt for her, and sat on the floor with the quilt in her arms, leaning her head on the edge of the couch, and soon fell asleep.

Ye Wenyan looked at the master and servant, and the corners of his lips gradually became cold......
