Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 304 The Tree Falls

Nanny Lu also heard the movement, she glanced at Mrs. Sun, she couldn't hide the sad expression on her face, she got up and went out to the door of the upper room, under the corridor of the East Wing, Ye Lihai, King of Dongyang County, rushed to the front, walking in a long gown with a long front. Chang Yang raised his head and plunged into the upper room, and saw Mrs. Sun, who was half leaning on the kang, with a peaceful expression, like a baby seeing its mother, her eyes turned red, and she knelt down in front of the kang.After the death of King Dongyang County, the eldest son Ye Shusheng, Princess Liu Jun, the eldest son's wife Yao Shi, the second grandmother Lin Wen, the second wife Mrs. Chen, the third master Ye Shuyu and others knelt down on the ground.

"Get up." Mrs. Sun's calm voice was full of dissatisfaction: "Why is this?!"

"Yes!" Dongyang County King hurriedly stood up, standing in front of the kang with his hands down, looking at Mrs. Sun anxiously and longingly: "Mother, the official family has appointed a crown prince, this matter..."

"I already know." Mrs. Sun looked past her son and landed on Ye Shusheng and asked, "Is fourth brother all right?"

"Since I heard the letter from Prince Li, I haven't seen the fourth master yet." Ye Shusheng replied sadly and blamed himself, and Mrs. Sun gave a soft 'oh': "I'll just ask, have you met?" It’s nothing important, you sit down.” Mrs. Sun pointed to Kang Yan to signal her son Dongyang County King: “Since we’re here, it’s time for this mansion and Ye’s family to make arrangements, and everyone is here. Now, you go ahead." Mrs. Sun motioned to the king of Dongyang County, and the king of Dongyang County looked bewildered: "Mother, this happened so suddenly, how can there be any arrangements?"

Mrs. Sun looked at her son with cold eyes. She was not even disappointed in him. Ye Shusheng took half a step uncomfortably, and said with a slight bow: "It is true that the matter of setting up the crown prince happened suddenly. Old ancestor, it is you Arrange it, you are the backbone of our Ye family." Mrs. Sun sighed: "At my age, how long can I be your backbone? After I die, this family," Mrs. Sun looked around Glancing at everyone, his eyes fell on Dongyang County King: "You are getting old too, let Da Lang worry about these trivial matters."

The King of Dongyang County nodded with a bit of embarrassment. Princess Liu Jun's expression remained unchanged. Compared with her husband, she preferred her son to take on the family responsibility as soon as possible. Ye Shusheng was stunned, but his expression suddenly changed. Old Madam, Mrs. Sun met his gaze with a slight smile on her face. This time, this grandson has grown a lot. Madam Sun is pleased with his grandson's progress and doesn't bother to care about his son's stupidity. It is already the survival of the family. It's critical, and he only cares about his face!

"After my death, I left my second daughter-in-law to look after the house in the capital, and everyone else went back to the old house to keep their filial piety behind closed doors." Mrs. Sun continued to confess. Ye Shusheng opened his mouth and tears welled up in his eyes. King Dongyang frowned and said, "Ah Mother, it's still early for your death..."

"Grandmother!" Ye Shusheng interrupted his father, and knelt down in front of the kang with tears in everyone's bewilderment or astonishment, looked up at Mrs. Sun and mourned: "You can't do this, this is our Ye The doom of the family, if the crown prince can't tolerate the Ye family, the family raiding and extermination of the family will definitely not be able to escape because of filial piety. If the crown prince is willing to let the Ye family live, wouldn't the grandma lose her life in vain? How can the children and grandchildren feel at ease? Grandmother, it can’t be like this!” Only then did everyone understand the meaning behind Mrs. Sun’s confession, and the king of Dongyang stood up with a ‘huh’, and then knelt down beside Ye Shusheng with a plop, crying like rain: “My son is not filial. , A Niang must not be like this...so..." Dongyang County King couldn't continue, weeping and kowtowing.Concubine Liu Jun and other people hurriedly followed and knelt together again, crying together high and low.

"Get up! I'm not dead yet!" Mrs. Sun said angrily. Ye Shusheng hurriedly got up, wiped his tears with one hand, and helped his father Dongyang County King with the other. Mrs. Sun leaned back, half-closed her eyes, and listened to the crying The sound stopped, and then he opened his eyes and continued to confess: "My dowry has been divided, half of it will be added to the dowry of the second daughter-in-law, and half will be added to the twelve daughter-in-law's dowry."

"Add it to the dowry of the second daughter-in-law?" Ye Shusheng's wife, Yao Shi, was startled and angry, and blurted out, and Ye Twelve Niang's aunt, Mrs. Chen, followed closely: "Even if Auntie loves Twelfth Sister again, she can't help it." It’s not this painful way, I added makeup to her, so I have to take it to Yao’s house? This has to be left to Brother Yu!” Ye Shuyu, the eldest son of the second house, and Liu Shi, the daughter-in-law, stood behind Madam Chen and nodded their heads.

Mrs. Sun let out a muffled 'hum' angrily, shaking her fingers lightly, nodded Ye Shusheng and said, "Tell them!" He promised, turned his head and stared at Mrs. Yao every word, and said: "Stupid! The Ye family is at a critical moment, and you are so confused that you only care about the money! If the house is stolen, the money can only be placed on the second wife and the tenth daughter-in-law. In the dowry of the second younger sister, there is some hope of keeping some points!"

Mrs. Yao lowered her head and looked sideways, leaning towards Lin Wen with resentment all over her body, but she didn't dare to make a sound.Lin Wen stood in the corner of the kang sadly, her mind was on Mrs. Sun.Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes and said with a dry smile: "Since it's a deposit, this person is very talkative, it's better to have a charter first, so as not to be unclear in the future..."

"It's not for deposit, it's my dowry, and I can give it to whoever I want," Mrs. Sun interrupted Mrs. Chen's words in a flat tone, but she didn't look at her, only looked at Ye Shusheng and said: "Brother Sheng Listen, you are right. This is a catastrophe for the Ye family. Whether the Ye family can survive it depends on how many blessings the ancestors of the Ye family have left. After I die, you can divide the family, immediately From now on, all members of the Ye family will take care of each other, remember, you only need to keep your own branch and it is enough, don't worry about other people and other affairs, life and death are just up to them." Madam Sun said The words were so straightforward that everyone in the room understood, but their expressions were different.

"Ah!" Mrs. Sun sighed: "I'm old, and I only think of the best in everything. The Ye family has been too prosperous these years, and it has exhausted the fortune. This catastrophe..." Mrs. Sun's expression was gray, He closed his eyes and paused for a while, opened them, turned his head, looked at Lin Wen firmly and confessed in a gentle voice: "Sister Wen, I just ask you to protect the two children and not break the roots of the Ye family. .”

"Well, grandma... Don't worry, grandma, they are my flesh and blood, unless I die..." Lin Wen choked up and couldn't finish a sentence. Mrs. Sun heaved a sigh of relief and looked around everyone, suddenly feeling extremely boring. None of them caught her eye and kept her hopeful!
"Don't memorize the money, think about the Ye family first, and think about whether the Yao family can live out the first month." Mrs. Sun suddenly stared at Mrs. Yao and sneered: "Your Yao family really has accumulated great virtues from their ancestors, fourteenth brother Such a bastard actually got married to Twelve Sisters, thanks to Twelve Sisters, your Yao family can be regarded as a root." Mrs. Yao's face turned purple, and Mrs. Sun threw her head back Then, he burst out laughing, and the whole room was dumbfounded by just laughing.

In the Prince's Mansion of Jian'an County, in the Nuan Pavilion in the back garden facing the lake, Zhu Mingyan, who had just been out of the full moon for a few days, lowered her head and played the piano solemnly. Half lying on the back of his head on a large armchair, with his eyes half closed, he listened leisurely to the chilling sound of the piano.

"I must see the prince!" Madam Sun's sharp voice suddenly sounded outside the Nuan Pavilion, Zhu Mingyan's piano sound was slightly concentrated, and soon became as smooth as ever, and the fourth prince ordered without opening her eyes: "If she wants to see him, let him She comes in."

"Master! What shall we do? There is also Dingguo Mansion...and the Ye family! Master, what should we do?" Mrs. Sun's hair was disheveled, as if she was about to shred into a pile of rubble screaming when touched, the fourth prince He opened one eye and squinted at her, then closed his eyes again and said, "What should I do? What happened?"

"Master? You don't know yet?" Madam Sun was so stunned that she forgot to panic: "The government has appointed a crown prince! King Shou has appointed a crown prince!"

"What's the matter with us?" The fourth prince replied slowly, Mrs. Sun was dumbfounded, staring at the fourth prince for a long time, twisting her neck as if she could hear the sound of "clack" and turned her head Staring at Zhu Mingyan who was still playing the piano as usual, the two of them playing the piano and listening to the piano gave her a frightening and strange feeling in her heart.

"Compared to the Zhu family, the Sun family and the Ye family should indeed be defeated." Looking at Mrs. Sun who fled, the fourth prince commented leisurely. Zhu Mingyan's hands shook, and the sound of the piano stopped. She simply pushed Qin away and stood up, walked in front of the Fourth Prince, looked down at him for a long time before saying: "What are your plans?"

"Intention? I have no intention." The fourth prince turned his head and looked at the bleak lake in winter: "Brother always flaunts tolerance, he won't do anything to you, besides, you gave birth to a daughter again, elder brother will definitely treat you mother and daughter generously, so that you Let the world see how tolerant and kind he is."

"What about you? I'm asking you, what are your plans? What do you want to do?" Zhu Mingyan was terrified, her eyes widened involuntarily and she asked urgently. The sadness on the fourth prince's face was like the winter outside the window. Slowly resting her hands on her chest, she lowered her eyes and said, "For me, the road is set. It's just that some people are willing to go, and some people are unwilling to go. I'm looking forward to it."

"Let's go overseas! Let's go! You, me, and our daughter, we don't want anything, we will leave tonight, all I want is you... as long as... our family is together! You have to live..." Wish Mingyan knelt down, stretched out her hand to hold the fourth prince's hand tightly, and cried out in a low voice, the fourth prince was slightly stunned, looked at her gently and asked softly: "The manager in the morning is under the concubine of Jinning County. The shopkeeper? This must be the way out she prepared for herself, she is overthinking."
