"What did you say?" The Grand Princess glared at him, unable to believe what she had just heard. Ning Yunyin's attitude clearly indicated to her that she had made up her mind and that there was no room for negotiation.
The Grand Princess stood up in anger, "Do you know what you are doing?"
This little brother of hers didn't even have an epiphany and was still in a daze!
"Do you know that doing so will offend the Yu Family?!" The Grand Princess raised her voice as she spoke. Ning Yunyin still had an expressionless face, as if she didn't care at all. The Grand Princess was so angry that she could only turn around and say, "By doing this, you are not only offending the Yu Family. You will implicate her as well. You are harming her! "
Ning Yunyin's expression finally began to waver, and she glanced at the Grand Princess.
That was going on.
The Grand Princess sat down and instead said gently, "If you really want to help her, then you should think for her sake. If she were to offend the Yu Family for your sake, what should we do in the future? "
"Even if it's for her sake, this marriage can't be pushed away."
Every sentence was reasonable.
The room was silent for a while. Ning Yun's pitch-black pupils darkened as if she was deep in thought.
"In that case, I will find a way to protect her." Ning Yunyin slowly spoke up.
The Grand Princess was so angry that she slammed the table and stood up, "Are you going to go against the Yu Family for her?"
Ning Yunyin didn't say a word.
The Grand Princess's expression changed. She looked at Ning Yunxiao and suddenly began to hiss. Taking two steps forward, she spoke in a low voice, "You can't possibly be serious …"
Yun Che looked up and glanced at her. He did not say anything, but the look in his eyes was already self-evident.
The Grand Princess took two steps back in disbelief, "You're crazy!"
"He is one of the few old officials in the court who supports you. You want to get rid of him for a woman?"
Ning Yunyin looked at her, her expression unchanged. She spoke indifferently, "Elder Sis, do you really think he's loyal to me wholeheartedly?"
The Grand Princess looked surprised for a moment.
The north wind outside the window was bone-chilling, scraping against everyone's hearts.
Ye Jinsu stood at the door and looked out at the gloomy sky. The sky had been gloomy ever since it started snowing a little a few days ago. It was unknown when it started to snow. The north wind blew Ye Jinsu's nose red. Ye Jinsu watched the servants coming and going a few times outside the courtyard.
The mansion seemed to be very busy today.
Ye Jinsu looked at Xiao Hong and asked, "What are you doing outside?"
Little Red changed Ye Jinsu into a thick cloak and handed over a thermos. Then she said, "You will be buried tomorrow. All the servants are busy preparing for today."
"Master sent a message saying that Miss should also be here."
In order to prepare Ye Jinsu's banquet for the day, the funeral had been postponed. Now that the coffin had been in the ancestral hall for a while, he couldn't afford to delay any longer. And because they had just had a feast,
Not long after, it was all for nothing. It was truly a bit unlucky. Ye Shisui had his men keep a low profile. He didn't make a big fuss and just gave the mansion a good show by closing the door.
After all, Ye Jinsu was a member of the Ye Family, so she had to go to the ancestral hall.
"Go." Ye Jinsu said blandly.
In the meantime, Xiao Hong was talking about other matters, such as the appearance of the Yu Family's Madam yesterday.
Ye Jinsu didn't need to think about it to know the reason for Madame Jade's visit. She also knew that in order to protect the Ye Family, Ye Shisui would definitely leave this matter to her.
He only said that Ye Jinsu was trying to seduce him on purpose, and that it had nothing to do with the Ye family.
Ye Jinsu's eyes were really closed. She could even imagine his face.
Little Red was indignant by the side, "Master, it's true, you're not even the least bit against Miss!"
Ye Jinsu smiled lightly and spoke nonchalantly, "He is right too. He did not know about it from the beginning. "She was the one who provoked Ning Yunyun, so there's nothing wrong with that."
"But!" Lil 'Red stomped its feet in anger, "Isn't this to avenge the young miss?"
"Are my enemies not enough yet?"
Xiao Hong was angry and helpless.
The next day, after the funeral of the Xie Clan, Ye Jinsu still dressed in mourning clothes. No matter what, Ye Jinsu still called her Second Mother, and according to the rules, she had to kneel down and watch over her.
Now that the spirit hadn't asked her to guard it, she decided to make a comeback.
Ye Jingru was crying so much that she kneeled down in front of the coffin. When she saw Ye Jinsu walk over, she clenched her fists tightly to pinch the paper money in her hands into a ball. Ye Jinru wished that this man could die here, in front of her mother, and bury her alive!
But now, she could only grit her teeth and let go, lowering her head to burn paper for her mother.
Ye Jinsu looked at her indifferently and shifted her gaze away before following the pattern. The atmosphere in the ancestral hall was weird. Other than Ye Jinru, no one was crying. The old lady was obviously unhappy, even the servants were working with indifferent expressions.
Ye Jingru's small but continuous wail echoed in the ancestral hall. Ye Shisui had listened to it for a long time, and there was a trace of impatience on his face. He urged people to carry her out for burial.
According to the rules, Ye Jinsu had to follow her out, but Ye Shisui stopped her at the side.
Ye Jinsu didn't need to go out with him. She was extremely happy. She turned around and looked at Ye Shisui. "What's the matter, father?"
What else could Ye Zhenzi want from her? It was nothing more than her marriage, something that would bring benefits to the Ye Family. Ye Zheng looked at her and said, "I heard that you've been sick ever since you came back from the Consort's estate. How are you now?"
"Thank you, father, for your concern. Your daughter is fine." Ye Jinsu said blandly.
Ye Zhenzheng nodded and changed his expression, "Fine, it's good that you're fine. As for the matter from before, we did it for your own good. Now that this matter has been brought to the palace, it will no longer be a good time for it to end. "
"Do you still insist?"
Ye Jinsu wanted to laugh when she heard this, so she mercilessly poked at Ye Shisui's false face. "Is father doing this for my own good, or for the family's?"
"You!" Ye Shisui glared at him angrily. His good expression was gone. "Don't forget that your surname is Ye!"
Ye Jinsu sneered, "Father, do you remember now that my surname is Ye? "Didn't you hate me to the point of killing me before, hating that you never gave birth to me?"
Ye Shisui was hit hard in the face, and his face became more and more pale. Ye Zheng was in the wrong for what happened before, but he couldn't tolerate Ye Jinsu's harsh words in front of him. Ye Jinsu's guilty conscience was soon overshadowed by his anger, "Is there anyone who can talk to your father like that? Are you going to disobey your elders again? "
Chicken to duck, no shame.
Ye Jinsu took a step back and was so angry that she wanted to flick her sleeves and leave.
"This is related to the Ye Family's honor and disgrace, let me tell you, there is no way to discuss it! Since Your Highness Ning Wang has already spoken, then you must marry me! " Ye Song forced the words out of his mouth with an ugly expression on his face.
Ye Jinsu was so angry that she laughed instead. She did not want to waste any more words with him, so she turned around and left.
Ignoring his words, Ye Jinsu turned around and walked into the yard. Passing by Ye Jinru, who still held incomparable hatred towards her, Ye Jinsu didn't even bother to look at her and directly left.
Ye Shisui was so angry that his face turned sour. The old lady could not bear to see him any longer and followed the Old Master out of the room.
Only Ye Jingru stood on the spot, looking at her with a twisted expression, as if she was deep in thought.
The funeral continued. Ye Jingru had actually left by the back door while holding the memorial tablet.
The dignified matriarch of the University Scholar's Manor had actually left the coffin by the back door when she was being buried. Ye JinRu bit her lower lip and her eyes reddened. Her tears fell on the tablet. Afraid of dirtying the tablet, Ye JinRu quickly wiped it clean with her sleeve.
Ye JinRu's tears never stopped until she saw the Xie family fall into the coffin. She was afraid that she would make Ye Mo unhappy, so she could only whimper softly. After everyone had left, Ye Jingru sneakily ran out and knelt alone in front of the grave to burn paper.
This was a mountain of graves, and the cold wind was blowing in the wilderness. It was already late at night, and the swaying shadows of the trees looked like man-eating monsters.
However, Ye JinRu didn't show any signs of leaving. She just kneeled straight, with the paper money by her hand burning stack after stack.
After a long time, a figure seemed to appear in the distance. He first stood in the dark for a while, and upon seeing Ye JinRu, he could not help but take two steps forward. When he stood behind Ye Jingru, that person couldn't help but tremble as he looked at Zhong Gu's grave, "Yu'er …"
Ye Jingru kept her head down and burned the paper.
That person was none other than Sun Zheng.
"Child, the wind is strong at night. You should head back as soon as possible." Sun Zheng said in a trembling voice. He wiped away his tears and looked at the poor child. His voice was much softer now.
At some point, she had stopped crying. She looked down at the firelight coming from the paper money in the brazier, her face somewhat terrifying under the orange light. "I purposely waited here for you."
His voice was very soft, but in the silence of the night, Sun Zheng could hear him clearly.
Sun Zheng's eyes widened as he looked down at the child.
Ye JinRu remained kneeling and did not move. Her tone was surprisingly cold, "I don't care what relationship you have with my mother, but in short, you have a way to avenge my mother, right?"
She was not an idiot. Ye Zheng's evasive attitude, the ignorance of the majority of the servants in the mansion, and the various details he had unwittingly noticed before. It wasn't hard for her to guess.
But the truth was that nothing mattered. The important thing was that her mother was killed by Ye Jinsu.
Since that was the case, Ye Jinsu had to pay with her life!
She didn't have much time left. Once she married into the Royal Mansion, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to kill her. She had to take advantage of this moment, while Ye Jinsu was still in the mansion, to get rid of her!
Sun Zheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak. He couldn't help but take a step back and look at her.
Ye JinRu propped herself up from the ground. Because she had been kneeling for too long, she was still staggering and her dress was stained with some dirt. Ye JinRu's thin face turned over and looked at him expressionlessly, "If I'm not wrong, my mother should have discussed this with you before. How should we deal with Ye Jinsu?"
Although her mother had never told her about it, she had vaguely sensed it.
"You only need to tell me if you still need to use that method?"
