Ye Shisui suffered a huge loss. However, he didn't want to give the impression of disrespecting his elders in front of outsiders, so he had no choice but to sit back down.

Madame Xie's eyes reddened with grievance, and thought to herself that with all the high monks present, she should act a little more pitifully. He squeezed out a tear and then skillfully held it back, not daring to disobey the order.

At this moment, the few high monks who were watching lowered their heads in unison and began to do their own things, as if they were unaware of what had just happened.

This made Ye Zhenzi feel a lot more relaxed.

Ye Chong cleared his throat. "Monks, you may begin."

Several white-bearded monks turned their heads and nodded to Ye Zizai.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, a sound was heard, interrupting the actions of the monks.

It was the old lady.

The old granny still did not have a pleasant expression, but her attitude towards the high monks was clearly much better. After all, Si Xiang still relied on them to surpass his limits.

"You! Kneel before me!" The old lady's expression was cold as she pointed towards the incense table in the courtyard and spoke to the Xie family.

It's for burning paper money!

Mrs Xie looked at the old lady in astonishment, but did not make a move.

When the old woman saw that she didn't react, she actually threw the cane in her hand towards the Xie family. "Are you not going to listen to what I say now!?"

Fortunately, the old lady was sitting far away from the Xie Clan, and her hands weren't strong enough. That walking stick only smashed into the front of her eyes, creating a loud sound.

No one dared to speak a word.

When the old lady was young, she was also a person with an iron hand. Even though she was old now, she still possessed some of her might.

Ye Zheng was also intimidated.

Lady Xie looked at the cane and was obviously frightened. She stammered, "My wife doesn't understand …" "You, why are you …"

One of the servants at the side hurriedly picked up her walking stick. The old lady propped up her cane and sneered. She walked over to Lady Xie and knocked on her cane three times.

The sound of the peach wood hitting the stone slab was deafening. The old lady spoke from the top of her head, "You don't understand?"

"Shouldn't you be the one to understand the most!"

"If you are innocent, then kneel down! Kneel before Si Xiang's spirit and call Si Xiang over and say whether you are innocent or not! "

The old lady's words were loud and clear, making everything suspicious and not afraid of gossip.

She was certain that this matter was caused by the Xie Clan.

There was nothing to say. Even the Old Master was silent. Ye Shisui naturally did not dare to open his mouth.

Madam Xie could not help but tremble in fear.

This was the first time she felt an existence that was able to suppress her like this in this house. There was no need for any logic. As long as the old lady spoke, what reason could a daughter-in-law like her have to disobey?

The Xie Clan was so still that they couldn't even speak.

When had she ever suffered such injustice?

He wanted to kneel in front of the servants and outsiders in the courtyard, in front of the spirit of an outer room.

When had she ever been so humiliated?

Ye Jinru was so angry that her whole body was trembling. She clenched her fist and was about to step forward, but she was held down by Huaiyu.

"My dear grandaunt, wasn't the lesson from last time not enough?!" Huaiyu was so anxious that she could not find the words to say. She lowered her voice and reprimanded Ye Jingru.

Ye Jinru was so angry that she vomited blood.

But she also calmed down. She couldn't be this impulsive. If she did, the result would be even worse.

Ye Jingru took a deep breath, knelt down on the ground and walked to Ye Shanzheng's feet. "Father, mother's body just happened to be in a very short period of time …"

She knew that even if Ye Shisui's position was not firm, one thing would always remain the same. That was, in Ye Zheng's heart, the Xie family was very important.

It was too important to lose.

Ye Shisui was visibly moved. He turned around and looked at the old lady with a troubled expression.

Who knew that the old lady let out a cold snort.

"I can't harm your wife's life. If she's innocent, then I've just called the imperial physician tomorrow to show her!"

These words were earth-shattering.

The restless noise in the surroundings became louder, and whispers filled the entire place.

Even if Ye Jinxiu was unable to tell what was going on, she could still guess what was going on. Earlier on, he had been watching a show by the Xie Clan. Ye Zichen sighed with emotion at how the old lady usually treated people so generously. Why did she suddenly get into such a difficult situation today?

The only person in the entire capital that his wife managed to accomplish this was her, the pitiful Xie Clan.

But now, the old lady's words had completely changed the situation.

They all began to suspect the Xie Clan.

Madam Xie lowered her head. She could feel piercing gazes from all directions. And the jumbled words, stuck in her ears.

Mrs Xie's lips trembled, and only after a long while was she able to recover her voice, "Yes …" "My wife respects my mother-in-law's teachings …"

Under his long sleeves, the Xie Clan tightly gripped their palms, their silver teeth about to shatter into pieces. You old bastard, there will be a day when you fall into my hands!

At this point, Xie raised one foot with great difficulty and glanced at Ye Zizai with a pale face. However, Ye Chong only looked at her anxiously and did not say a word.

Mrs Xie looked away and nearly fell off her feet.

Huaiyu reached out to support him, but was pushed away by the Xie Clan. Staggering a few steps, the Xie Clan threw themselves in front of the incense table and knelt down.

There were no prayer mats, so the Xie Clan's kneeling was not light.

However, Lady Xie did not make a sound. Cold sweat broke out on her forehead as she pursed her lips.

Ye Jinsu covered half her face with a fan and sighed in her heart as she felt her stiff and worried face ease up.

This time, the old granny really gave Madame Xie a lot of face.

Even Ye Jingru's face turned pale as she didn't dare to say a word.

After the old lady spoke, the monks started to move and sat down cross-legged to recite the sutras. The old lady raised her trembling hand as well, silently chanting as she held a string of buddhist beads.

Xiang'er, if you were harmed by that Xie Clan woman, then you should just send me a message.

The old lady kept mumbling to herself.

Ye Shisui followed suit, closing his eyes and chanting while some of the servants lowered their eyes as well. Ye Jinsu looked at the situation and closed her eyes as well. Her hands were clasped together as she chanted in a manner similar to theirs.

It was quiet.

Other than the naked eye on the side, Ye Jinsu didn't feel that anything was wrong.

When he opened his eyes, he found that Ye Jinru was staring at him.

As they looked at each other, Ye Jinsu could see that she was sizing him up.

Ye Jinsu and Ye Jingru's eyes met. Ye Jinxiu did not avoid her gaze and stared straight at her. On the other hand, Ye JinRu quickly avoided his eyes.

However, he still stared at Ye Jinsu in the dark.

Ye Jinxiu lowered her eyes and lifted her hand to stroke her hair.

Sure enough. Ye Jingru's eyes were still staring at her, not wanting to miss a single movement.

Ye Jinsu's heart sank and she closed her eyes.

This trip would not be so simple.
