person would be full and have nothing better to do than bother Fourth Sister"He finished, gave the magistrate a knowing glance, and the magistrate cleared his throat twice, knowing it was time for hi...A maidservant came from outside to report that the old mistress of the Li family had come to apologize to Miss. 。As soon as she heard this, Zhuier immediately shared her own thoughts: "My lady is now the Empress Dowager, there's no need to see anyone from the Li family" 。She came to apologize, she must have brought gifts. Just let her put the gifts down and then kowtow towards the east. 。"That sounds awfully like paying respects at a grave," Xiang Dong shook her head. Ye Wen also felt it was a bad omen, so he got up and walked outside. "Let's go see what they have to say." 。Shi Liyuan, on the verge of leaving, suggested that they directly drive the Li family out of Lin'an City to prevent them from causing further trouble. 。By the way, send that Empress Dowager Li from the palace away too, so that life can finally be peaceful. 。I'll go see what kind of attitude Madam Li has. If her attitude isn't good enough, then I'll agree to Shi Liyuan's arrangement. 。"Well, what if her attitude is good enough" "If it's good enough, I'll accept her gift and then let the Li family stay within Lin'an's inner city to be observed slowly." 。After all, I am the future Empress. My status is high, and people should be magnanimous. One shouldn't be too petty or small-minded, as it would make people laugh at me. 。"
Xiang Dong heard this and remembered something: “I heard that before the Imperial Lord came to our mansion yesterday, he walked around the streets first. Not only did he collect so many gifts for Miss, but he also made a decision" 。The plan is to swap the residents of the inner and outer cities of Lin'an. This will serve as punishment for them daring to provoke Miss You. 。"
Ye Wen was taken aback, "Is there such a thing With so many people in the outer city, how can they be exchanged Could this small space in the inner city accommodate them all" Then he thought of Shi Liyuan's great displacement technique and the newly swapped courtyard of the First-Rank General's Mansion" 。"We can't change them all, at least we should keep some officials inside the city, right" She posed this question, and Xiang Dong replied—— “Not everyone needs to be changed. At least those who are on the same side as Miss you will definitely still be able to stay in the inner city.” 。I estimate that, like the Li family, moving to the outer city is inevitable. 。Other mansions that have wronged you or criticized you should also be shuffled. 。The Emperor also said that in a few days, the Yanghua Palace will hold a palace banquet, and the matter of exchanging people between the inner and outer city will be discussed after the banquet. 。" Night Wen listened and frowned, "Imperial banquet What is he doing a palace banquet for" Zhui'er smiled with her lips pursed, "What else could the Divine Emperor do at a palace banquet He must be going to take Miss's hand and personally announce your engagement to everyone, making everyone worship Empress." 。 Several people were talking as they walked to the Ming Hall. Old Madam Li was standing inside! The servants of the night mansion told her she could sit and wait, and even served her tea, but Old Madam Li was very determined: "I can't sit! This is the home of the Emperor and Empress, and the Emperor and Empress haven't arrived yet. I have no qualifications to sit down Besides, I am guilty, and today I am here to plead guilty. A guilty person is not even worthy of sitting..." 。Then the servant said nothing, and walked out of the hall. 。Lady Li stood up and just happened to see Ye Wenyan walking in with two maidservants. She immediately stepped forward, knelt down respectfully, and performed a deep bow: "Old woman Li Zhang is paying respects to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty. May the Empress Dowager have good health..." 。After saying that, he bowed seriously three times and then knelt on the ground, waiting for Ye Wenyan to speak. 。Ye Wen also remained silent, only staring at Old Madam Li, his gaze so intense that it sent shivers down her spine. 。She thought that Ye Wenyan must still be angry and unwilling to forgive the Li family. For a moment, she was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. 。...but he didn't know that Ye Wen was currently thinking about this phrase, "Lady Tian Su". Listening to it felt so awkward! Compared to Empress Dowager, she preferred the title "Miss Ye Si". She wondered if there would ever be a chance to change it back. ... 。"Miss 。"Zhui'er tugged at her, "Li Lao Fu-ren brought these things. Should we accept them or not" Night Wen Yan only then came to her senses and glanced at the elderly woman kneeling on the ground, trembling with fear. She nodded, "Accept them!"Li Lao Fu-ren let out a breath and kowtowed again, "Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness." 。But no one dared to stand up, they just followed Ye Wenyan's direction and knelt down, turning in a circle. Then, after Ye Wenyan sat down on the chair and settled, they said again, “Li Yanran is my granddaughter. She was spoiled since she was young and has repeatedly done things to anger Your Majesty.” 。This old woman has come today to apologize to Your Majesty, please forgive the Li family. No matter what Your Majesty demands, the Li family will comply without hesitation. 。"Is there really nothing else to say" Ye Wen smiled, "Yesterday, the Emperor banished her, blinded her eyes and legs, and removed her tongue. The Li family didn't have any objections to this, did they" Mrs. Li shook her head. "No" 。"I once took over a medical hall from the Li family, and I sent your son and granddaughter to prison. Even Old Mrs. Li thought it was right, didn't she" "It was right!""Then if I say I want half of the Li family's inner and outer city shops, and the best ones at that, will the Li family agree""Agree." 。"The old lady kowtowed again, "I only ask for my life and the safety of the family. Everything else is insignificant." 。Li Yanran incurred the wrath of the Empress Dowager. After Emperor Zun's punishment, even Li family law couldn't spare her. 。Her father had already sent the person away from the capital in the dead of night, back to their hometown to be punished. They would never enter the capital again. 。 " "good" 。"Ye Wen nodded, saying to Zhuai'er, 'Keep the things Mrs. Li brought. Also, Xiangdong, you go with Mrs. Li to Lin'an Mansion and take out all the land deeds of the Li family properties in Beijing. Take half from inside the city and half from outside the city and transfer them to my name.'" 。Once this is done, my feud with the Li family will be over. From now on, as long as the Li family doesn't make things difficult for me, I won't cause them any trouble either. 。But my fiancé has a bad temper, and I can't control him. So whether the Li family will be peaceful or not in the future depends on you guys. 。"Elder Madam, I've made my point clear. Please!"
Li Laofu felt grateful and said a few more words before leaving with Xiangdong.
When leaving, he was still very polite to Xiangdong, calling her "Xiangdong girl" every now and then. When they met at the doorway, he even asked Xiangdong to go first, which made Xiangdong feel a little embarrassed. 。Until the two of them left the house and got into a carriage, in everyone's eyes, Mrs. Li appeared to be sincerely apologizing for her night visit. 。Yet, he was unaware that within the wide sleeves of his robe, a pair of fists were clenched tightly, and the hatred for Ye Wenyan in his heart had reached its peak. 。"Night Wenyan, unless you truly sit on the throne of God, then this humiliation, Li family will definitely repay a thousandfold in the future!"Li Lao Fuzi walked away. Zhuier pondered for a while and asked Night Wenyan: "Miss, do you trust the Li family"Night Wenyan rolled her eyes, "Trust your ass!"Zhuier nodded, "The slave doesn't believe either. Just now when that old lady turned around, a gleam of ferocity appeared in her eyes. The slave wouldn't be mistaken." 。So, we still need to be wary of the Li family in the future. You never know when they might cause trouble. 。That's what they say, but how can we prevent it Ye Wenyan sounded quite helpless. 。As the saying goes, one should always be prepared to defend oneself, but when faced with a crisis, can anyone truly guarantee they will be able to withstand it It all boils down to meeting force with force and water with earth. She has never been a timid person, and a mere Li family is nothing to fear. 。Just as Mrs. Li had just left, Chi Hongfang arrived, and Jiang Feng also came. 。Accompanying them were their respective daughters, Chi Feifei and Jiang Wanting. 。As soon as they stepped into the room, Chi Hongfang and Jiang Feng immediately knelt down and performed a grand bow. Chi Feifei and Jiang Wanting rushed forward, each extending a hand to pat Ye Wenyan's shoulder. 。Just listen to Jiang Wanting say——“Alright! To be able to make the Imperial Lord handle things to this extent, Ye Wenyan, you really are something! Hey, I just don't understand, if you had this ability a few years ago, what were you doing If you had shown this kind of determination when chasing after Sixth Highness, he wouldn't have dared to bully you to this extent!”Chi Feifei then analyzed the situation from another angle: "So you've been pretending to be a pig and eating tiger these past few years, fooling around with Sixth Highness You never actually thought about marrying him, right You just wanted to find a suitable opportunity for yourself, have an encounter with the Imperial Lord, and then have a love at first sight. Then you’d elegantly dump Sixth Highness, right Am I getting it right"Chi Feifei was a little excited, Jiang Wanting even more so, “Wenyan, you are so amazing! From now on, you are my god!”Chi Hongfang and Jiang Feng listened with sweat dripping down their foreheads, what kind of words were these The Emperor and Empress’s relationship is flourishing, why bring up Sixth Highness Isn't this stirring up trouble that shouldn't be stirredSo the two quickly advised: "Quickly stop talking, shut your mouths! Quickly kneel down and greet the Empress." 。Can you two try to ease up on each other a bit It took so much effort to get your relationship back on track, don't ruin it now. 。Unfortunately, none of the daughters listened to their ramblings, and they were still chattering away with Ye Wenyan! Ye Wenyan was also willing to chat with them. The three of them simply pulled up chairs and sat down together. The servants brought tea and snacks, and someone even brought over three plates of melon seeds. 。Chi Hongfang and Jiang Feng looked at each other, understanding. They decided to stand up. This situation didn't involve them for the time being, so they might as well go stand by the side and listen. After all, this was gossip about the Emperor, and they were also curious. 。Then the two of them also gathered around, and they heard Ye Wen say: "Actually, I didn't want to make such a big fuss, so I've been keeping this matter down and haven't let him come to our house." 。Who would have thought this person wasn't the kind to bear it, I had only kept it down for a few months before he couldn't take it anymore and actually took it upon himself to issue me a divine decree. 。"Don't you find it infuriating"
Chi Hongfang subconsciously replied, "It doesn't seem infuriating. It shows that the Imperial Sovereign cares about Her Majesty."
"Obviously" Chi Fei Fei and Jiang Wanting nodded in unison, "Very obvious!" 。"
Chi Hongfang accepted it humbly, but firmly stated his refusal— "If it weren't for your father being so obviously different, would you be sitting here today, chatting with the Empress and Emperor Come on, get up! I came here today because I have important matters to discuss with the Empress and Emperor—"

"ppears to be too calm. 。The Empress Dowager didn't question it, which means she's helping our Madam in hiding this matter. 。“Ye Wenyan twitched the corners of his mouth and offered a sneer. ‘Now that...
