Chapter 371 Sister, what grudge do you have against me?

ld as freely as before. 。So she paused, allowing Ye Wen to attend to the guests first, and then she would continue. 。Ye Wen listened halfway through the story and was interrupted, feeling unhappy. Lo...Quan Qingyun felt that he definitely couldn't get this favor back. He used to think Di Zun was hard to deal with, but now he thought Ye Wenyan was even harder to deal with than Di Zun. Di Zun was unreasonable, while Ye Wenyan here simply had no reason at all.

Although she's just the fourth sister of General Night's household, today's Fourth Sister is vastly different from before. Back then, she relied on her father, General Night, and even the royal family had to give her some leeway. Now things are different, someone else has her back - the Emperor, and their bond is incredibly strong.

Looking at the Emperor's posture, it seems like he doesn't even care about his own words anymore. But if anyone dares to trouble Ye Wenyan, they will likely meet a terrible end.

This isn't just about the royal family giving way, everyone in the capital has to give way! What guts does he have to serve Ye Wenyan

Besides, Ye Wuyan's family also has another person, Ye Fei Zhou. If something were to happen to him, Ye Fei Zhou would make trouble with him again, then it would be even more troublesome.

So after much deliberation, he decided not to help the Emperor with this task. To this, Shi Liyuan let out a cold snort, "It's nothing," Ye Wenyan then grabbed his sleeve and asked him eagerly, "Are you so eager to make our relationship public"

Shi Liyuan didn't understand, "What kind of feeling"

"It's the fact that you like me and I like you, we call that a relationship back home. Are you eager to go public"

"If I were in a hurry, would you consider it"

"It's not impossible to consider, it depends on fate, right"

"Whose fate are we talking about" Her business It was still up to someone else's fate What on earth was this girl thinking

He grunted and grabbed the girl's hand, starting to walk forward. As he passed Quan Qingyun, he said, "Lead the way!"

Quan Qingyun hurried to his feet and led them to Ye Chulian's courtyard where she brewed wine, saying as they walked, "Fifth Sister has already made several altars of medicinal wine, all sealed and buried in the ground. There are only ten more to be opened. Tonight, there are still two altars left unfinished, and Fei Zhou is also helping out. It's something that Liang could have completed before."

Quan Qingyun felt that he was doing very poorly now. Not only did he see Ye Wenyan have to lower his voice and call Si Jie (older sister), but even when he saw Ye Chulian, he had to respectfully address her as Wu Jie (fifth older sister). And there was also Ye Feizhou, who was practically an ancestor! How come every member of the Ye family in this generation were ancestors How did their parents give birth to such people

In the distance, the scent of wine wafted over. Ye Wen whispered deeply inhaled a breath and exclaimed, "Good wine!"

Shi Liyuan's eyebrows twitched a few times, and he remembered Ye Wenyan stealing his spirit wine to drink last night. He couldn't help reminding him: "Medicinal wine is for health preservation and healing, not really meant to be drunk like regular alcohol. You must remember this."

The girl nodded seriously, "Okay, I remember. But Shili Yuan, aren't you having psychological shadows about my drinking Don't worry, besides your kind of spirit wine, others won't get me drunk either."

"That's not necessarily so." He tightened his grip on the girl in his hand, pulling her closer to him.

Quan Qingyun pretended not to see the action, but a smile already blossomed in his heart. It seemed that whether it was mortals or immortals, when it came to love, they were all the same. No one could laugh at anyone else.

As the night fell and it was time to bury the wine jars, Ye Chu Lian, who was standing under a tree preparing for the task, heard a sound. She turned her head and looked outside.

She thought it was Quan Qingyun, but she didn't expect to see her fourth older sister and... and...

Yè Wǔjiě's hand trembled, and a whole jar of wine fell directly to the ground. Luckily, Yè Fēizhōu reacted quickly and caught it, otherwise this good jar of wine would have been ruined.

He took the wine and put it on the table beside him, then walked forward to bow to Shi Liyuan and said, "Your Majesty."

Then he pulled over the still-stunned Ye Chulian, "Come here and kowtow to Your Majesty."

Ye Chulian knelt down with a thump, her head hitting the ground. She tried to speak but words wouldn't come out.

She swore this wasn't an act, she was genuinely scared. The pressure she already felt when her second brother brought her to Prince Ren’s mansion to see the Third Highness was immense. She hadn't expected that tonight her fourth elder sister would actually bring the Emperor out! Big brother and big sister, if you two want my life just say so, no need for this kind of charade.

Ye Chu Lian felt that she was really pitiful, bearing these burdens at such a young age. What had she done to deserve this

Seeing her kneeling there with a lifeless look on her face, Ye Fei Zhou reminded her: "Actually, about your fourth sister and the Emperor's matter, you should have some idea in your heart."

Night Chu Lian thought, could there be any comparison between hearsay and seeing with one's own eyes Are you really my brother

She looked at Ye Wenyan with a sorrowful face, “Sister, how big of a grudge do you have against me First, you scared me with the Emperor, and now you've come up with an Imperial Venerable. Is this even letting people live Wow…”

She was just a girl under fourteen, the pressure was too much for her to bear. The most instinctive reaction she had was to burst into tears.

Ye Wenyan felt quite embarrassed. He quickly stepped forward to coax her: "Chu Lian! I have no grudge against you, and I didn't intentionally bring him here to scare you. We just came to see the wine you made, to express our concern. Don't cry, alright! Oh, please don't cry, it's too embarrassing! My sister, Ye Wenyan, shouldn't have such a fragile psyche. At least give me some face and fight back!"

Ye Chu Lian took a sharp breath, suddenly stopping her tears.

Ye Wen said with satisfaction, continuing to coax her: "Actually, this isn't the first time you've seen the Emperor. You really don't have to be so scared. It takes one meeting to understand, and two meetings to get familiar. Even if it doesn't feel familiar after the second meeting, at least you won't collapse."

Ye Chu's face paled, "Sister, please stop joking. When have I ever seen the Emperor"

“In the first lunar month, when the earth dragon turns over, we went to the outer city to treat the wounded.” Ye Wen reminded her, “That’s the crimson-clothed young master who was following me. You even talked to him! What was it about… ah, right, you—keep a distance from him, don’t get in the way here. What are you doing just standing around here Have some shame!”

Night Chu Lian grabbed her hand, "Sister, please don't betray me! Back then, how could I have known who he was Even if you killed me, I wouldn't dare to speak to him like that. No, even if you killed me, I wouldn't dare say a word to him! Sister, please beg for me, I'm almost scared to death, woo..."

Ye Wen spread his hands, "Why are you crying again"

At this time, Shili淵 was already talking to Ye Fei Zhou, asking him where he buried his wine.

Ye Fei Zhou pointed to a few trees and told him the wine was buried underneath. Although the time was short, Chu Lian used some family-secret techniques when brewing the wine, which allowed it to ferment quickly without sacrificing the quality of aged wine.

Quan Qingyun chimed in, "Actually, I've always been reserved about this matter. Wine buried for ten or so years can't possibly compare to that aged for several years in a cellar. If there were such methods, then there would be no need for wine shops outside."

Ye Chu Lian was crying, but when she heard this, she stopped immediately—"What do you mean Are you questioning the craftsmanship of the Liu family"

Quan Qingyun stroked his forehead, had he been too amiable lately To the point where even Ye Jia, this lowly maidservant, could speak to him like this

Look at that night-flying boat again... forget it, just like this! He's destined to not be able to put on airs of a prince in front of the Night Family children.

Ye Chu'an had already gotten up from the ground. She was afraid of the Emperor, but that didn't mean she was afraid of Quan Qingyun. While she used to be quite afraid, after coming and going these past few days, she discovered that this outsider, who people feared greatly, was actually particularly afraid of her second brother. No matter what, as soon as her second brother frowned, the Third Prince would immediately concede.

So with her second older brother backing her, the Third Prince couldn't stand up to her either. Since he couldn't stand up to her anyway, she didn't need to be afraid of him.

Then Ye Chulan started to argue with Quan Qingyun: "Third Prince, just because the taverns outside can't do it doesn't mean I can't. Just because others don't know how doesn't mean I don't. You haven't even seen the results, why are you so quick to judge What if I actually manage to brew good wine Will you save face then Of course, whether or not you save face doesn't concern me, I truly don't care about your image, but the problem is that I have to care about my second brother. If you lose face, won't my second brother be dragged down with you"

She stomped her foot a few times on the mud where the wine jars were buried. "Just these few jars of wine, that's our Liu family's secret recipe. My grandfather passed it down to my aunt, and my aunt passed it down to me. Since I dared to show it to my fourth sister, then you know I have great confidence in it. Don't question me so easily, okay That makes you seem shallow and frivolous. How can you be so frivolous and protect my second brother"

Quan Qingyun's face turned pale. He really wanted to slap this illegitimate daughter to death, but he didn't dare. After all, this illegitimate daughter seemed to have a good relationship with Ye Wenyan and even helped him with things. She was considered one of their own.

So you can't hit her, and it seems like scolding her is also not an option. After all, the relationship is quite complex. On one hand, she is Ye Wenyan's cousin, on the other hand, she is Ye Fei Zhou's illegitimate sister. With these two layers of relationship laid out here, he might have to cater to this illegitimate daughter.

Quan Qingyun felt that he was too difficult, but Shi Liyuan still made a summary: "She has to be right."

This time, Quan Qingyun really had nothing to say. He could only bow his hands to Ye Chulian and salute: "Fifth sister's lesson is well-taught."

Ye Chu Lian nodded seriously, "It's good that you know you were wrong. Otherwise, you're too domineering and self-righteous. I think my second brother should stay away from you, or he'll definitely suffer in the future."

Quan Qingyun wiped his brow again, his heart pounding. He quickly glanced at Ye Fei Zhou.

Ye Fei Zhou said he hadn't seen or heard anything, and began to look up.

The esteemed Third Prince was down in the dumps again, a single phrase flitting through his mind: "Things change."

This year, Ye Fei Zhou actually had so many people protecting him all of a sudden. He was really not used to it.

After making a scene and bullying Qian Qingyun, Ye Chulian remembered the Emperor's presence and hid behind her fourth older sister again, becoming cowardly once more.

But though I was timid, I couldn't help myself. I lowered my voice and asked my elder sister, "Sister, you're truly amazing. How did you manage to get here" never able to warm the hearts of that couple. 。“This kind of animal is difficult to raise. Why are you doing this” Old Madam Xiao suddenly said this, sounding like she was advising Mu Shi not to pic...
