Chapter 229: How Dare You?

when the late Emperor built this Phoenix at Flying Hall, he put a lot of thought into it. Every detail was personally reviewed by him, and the arrangements inside were all done by his own hand. He ev...Ye Xiao was very indignant. He slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "I am a grand general of the First Rank! How can both my literary and martial arts skills be so useless You may say I'm not good with words, but why are you saying I'm no good at fighting If the martial artists of the First Rank General's Mansion aren't competent, then who is"

He made the film, but it didn't get any traction because he simply lacked confidence.

One-Star General's Mansion is formidable, that much is true. If this were said in the past, based on the old general's temper, even if Lian Shi ridiculed him like this, he could still throw Lian Shi out. Because he truly was capable, with the confidence and strength to back it up.

But what about the night view It seems there's nothing. Uncultured and unskilled in martial arts, a disgraced general who had his post stripped away—who would even look at him now

Seeing the beautiful night view, she fell silent. Even Shi hummed softly and said leisurely: “This kind of person always walks a path. Either it’s literature or martial arts. If you don't succeed in either literature or martial arts, what will he do If there's a grand banquet in the future, people will ask, what does your family do What rank are you You reply, none. Then how can you play together The inner city of Lin'an is full of official residences. Even with the protection of military merit from old generals and great generals, how long can it last If the parents squander all the ancestral glory, wouldn’t their descendants suffer too much It’s like this tea, the first brew is strong, the second is weaker, and by the third or fourth brew, it's almost as plain as water. Can it still be considered tea Will the tea pile accept it”

Yun Chen replied: "But there are still tea leaves in its bowl, so we can't let it get into that pile of water either."

"That's so embarrassing." Lian Shi sighed and shook his head. "I can't go anywhere, it's so hard being stuck in the middle!"

As the night deepened, Ye Jian felt his face burning. Every word these two people uttered was a slap in his face. But he had nowhere to retort. He thought about martial arts, but at his age, what could he possibly achieve He considered scholarship, but he hadn't even finished his studies back then. At this age, could he suddenly understand everything

He couldn't help but resent Ye Wen again. If it weren't for Ye Wen, wouldn't he be the father-in-law now

"As if reading his mind, Yun Chen continued, "Lord Ye Er, isn't what you're thinking that if it weren't for the commotion caused by Fourth Sister on the second day of the twelfth lunar month, the throne would now belong to Sixth Prince, your daughter would be the Empress today, and you, the father-in-law"

The night scene was breathtaking, my eyes were wide with amazement. I almost suspected Yun Chen had learned some mind-reading techniques, otherwise how could he possibly know what I was thinking This is too much! Before it was just that words couldn't be spoken carelessly, but now it seems even thoughts can't be thought about freely

Upon finishing his words, Yun Chen smiled and said, "Elders, you are thinking too beautifully. You don't know, do you During the New Year's Eve Palace Banquet, someone started clamoring to see the imperial edict left behind by the former emperor, wanting to know who was written as the heir apparent on it. So, the current Emperor agreed and dispatched a group of people to retrieve it. And what do you think happened The edict clearly stated that the former emperor's designated heir was his seventh son! That is, the current Emperor!"

The night scene stood up suddenly, her face full of surprise.

The old lady, upon seeing this scene, immediately exclaimed in a loud voice, "Jing Sheng, come sit down! No matter which prince the late emperor designated as his successor, that is a matter for the royal family, and has nothing to do with us!"

The scene turned to gaze at the old matriarch. Although she didn't speak, her eyes clearly conveyed a message: was this really true Was the name of the Seventh Prince truly written in the imperial edict Did the throne truly belong to the Seventh Prince, and had nothing to do with the Sixth Prince

The old lady nodded helplessly, conceding defeat.

Night view suddenly sat back in the chair, and didn't sit well for a moment, almost sliding up.

Xiao's face also changed color, her hands twisting the handkerchief so tightly it was almost about to break.

If the throne really had nothing to do with the Sixth Prince, wouldn't she have just wasted her daughter for nothing Knowing that the late emperor didn't intend for his eldest son to inherit, she shouldn't have risked a confrontation with the first wife just to let Ye Hongzhu go down this path.

Now that the empress is no longer in power and has offended Ye Wenyan, her entire family has been thoroughly dealt with. What exactly did she have in mind

If only I had known this would happen, I should have just waited patiently for the new emperor to ascend the throne and entered the palace during the next year's selection. By then, Ye Wenyan could leave on her own accord and marry her beloved Sixth Prince. Then, my red attire wouldn't be a constant reminder of her. With my own abilities and the might of the Ye family, I might even win favor and become the principal consort.

Such a simple path, yet their family walked it with such complexity. Aren't they being manipulated by the former emperor and Empress Dowager Li

This is a bummer for anyone, the old lady is bummed too, and Ye Wan Sheng is even more so, unable to recover for a long time.

All the previous deployments now look like a joke. They went through all that trouble, only to end up with nothing but an illusion. Everything was just a figment of their imagination. It's simply absurd! Wouldn't outsiders be laughing at them

Yun Chen and Lian Shi were very pleased to see the two old people looking so gloomy. Lian Shi even said, "The old lady is really something else. She made a scene at the palace banquet, why didn't she just tell the second master about it sooner Look how angry he is, this could easily kill him."

Yunchen then advised, "Alright, don't worry too much about it. After all, worrying won't do anything. Who would have thought we'd make such a mistake! We learn from our mistakes, so just be more careful next time."

Xiao shi rolled her eyes. Next time What next time She didn't even have a daughter left to use as an example for a next time.

Ye Qingmei and Ye Feiyu on the side, hearing these words one by one, couldn't help but want to laugh. If it weren't for Mu Shi giving them a warning look, they would probably have burst into laughter.

The night scene was bustling, but she felt a sharp pain in her face. Unable to vent her anger, she saw Ye Fei Zhou sitting silently at the side and immediately flew into a rage. She stood up and raised her hand to strike him.

Ye Fei Zhou was sitting on the side of the second room, just silently sitting there, looking at the ground, not saying a word. The night scene suddenly slapped him on the head, and at that moment he felt a buzzing in his head, stars flashing before his eyes, showing how much force was used in this slap.

He could have dodged, but he didn't. Because after so many years of being beaten, he had almost become submissive.

Listening to his father scold him for being so useless, if he wasn't so useless, the family wouldn't have to rely on their daughter to make a living.

He then felt that his father's words seemed to be right. It was indeed he who had been incompetent. He couldn't take the civil service exam nor go to war and kill enemies. He had learned martial arts for nothing, and even helping his family kill someone, he hadn't succeeded. Such a son was truly useless. He was an extra burden at home and a drag on others outside the family.

His nose felt a little sour, he wasn't sure if it was from being punched or something else, anyway, it just didn't feel right.

The din of the night had become a constant background noise, and with every harsh word he heard, he would think to himself: if it weren't for him dragging them down, causing all this trouble, wouldn't Third Prince be married with wives and concubines by now, with children running about At twenty-seven years old, how could he be like this, without a single child to his name.

After all, it was his fault for being immature and letting her down.

The night scene roared angrily, getting angrier with each word. She felt that all these grievances were caused by this son. If it weren't for her son being sullen and unambitious, their second house wouldn't be in such a state. If it weren't for this son killing Ye Wenyan carelessly, they wouldn't have been imprisoned in Qihua Pavilion for so long and beaten.

Moreover, this son of his has been inseparable from the Third Prince day and night. He walks outside and people point fingers at him, saying he's given birth to an abnormal son.

All of this is why he hated Ye Fei Zhou, and it's also the fundamental reason why he wanted to kill his son outright.

Thinking about it this way, just scolding feels insufficient. I have to beat him, beat him to death. If I kill this son of mine, he'll be able to hold his head high in public from then on.

Then, Night View gathered his chair and smashed it down onto Ye Fei's head!

Now Yun Chen and Lian Shi refused to do it anymore, Ye Fei Zhou also refused, even Mu shi and Ye Qing Mei came forward.

"What do you mean Are you going to kill someone after just a few words Who are you trying to kill for"

"Lien Shi said: "Young Master Ye Er followed the Fourth Sister outside the city and saved many people back then. He is now a lifesaver in the hearts of many people outside the city. If you dare to destroy him, believe it or not, someone will block your mansion tomorrow"

"Though Second Brother is your son, using corporal punishment to kill him is also against the law. Uncle Second is going to drag our entire family into court Is this what you're doing as the head of the household first"

Mu did not speak, but reached out and grasped Ye Jian's wrist. A daughter from a family of warriors was no ordinary woman; they all possessed martial arts skills. Her grip was as strong as an iron clamp, and Ye Jian's arm went numb instantly.

Ye Feiyu snatched the chair away and told his second uncle, "Perhaps our family doesn't have much connection with each other, but my fourth younger sister calls you 'Second Brother' affectionately. Last time you broke Feizhou's knee, it was Yan'er who personally treated him. Just for this reason, I can't let you hurt him again. My sister is not a doctor and shouldn't be constantly tending to your family's injuries. So one injury is enough, don't even think about a second."

It was then that the scene dawned on him, "That's right! No wonder he felt something was off earlier. It turned out, the problem wasn't somewhere else, it was right here! Ye Fei Zhou's both legs were completely healed, able to stand and walk just like before!"

The Xiao family was also astonished, completely unable to understand how it was possible for someone who was injured so badly to be completely healed in just a few moments. How did Ye Wenyan do it Could it still be normal medical skill She couldn't have used some kind of magic, could she

The Second Mistress and her retinue were collectively shocked, including Xi Chun Liu and Ye Chu Lian. Even the Elderly Madam felt a chill run down her spine, muttering over and over that this was impossible, it couldn't be possible.

Even listening to the chatter of the people in the night, I got a general idea. "So, the second young master was broken by you, and then it bothered our fourth sister to treat him My! Second Master Ye, how big is your face! To actually trouble our fourth sister to clean up your mess! And now that she's just finished tidying up, you're causing trouble again. You really don't cherish the fruits of our fourth sister's labor!"

The night scene is so beautiful that one can't help but question life. He was just teaching his son a lesson, how come he suddenly encountered so much opposition and obstruction And it was the eldest son's family who came out to block him. Are these people from the eldest son's family sick

He blurted out, directly asking Mu Shi, "He was the culprit who kidnapped and killed your daughter! Why do you protect him time and time again Are your brains crammed by the door"and gently combed it, like giving her scalp a massage, it felt so good. 。Ye Wen unconsciously tilted his neck back, finding a more comfortable position. 。Mu smiled at her, "You're still the same as w...
