"The white flags are all sewn up, and the maids in each room have been reassigned their tasks. It's just fetching water, nothing urgent, so Miss should hurry back to the front courtyard." said Qiuyue.

  "What about Autumn Qu?" Ye Zhuo asked again. Autumn Qu was specially bought to be a rough and menial servant girl, tall and sturdy, even more heartless than Autumn Ju. Wang Niang had no way to deal with Autumn Yue and Autumn Ju, she might as well use Autumn Qu as a scapegoat. Whether or not she participated in the framing incident, taking her mistakes would be slapping Ye Zhuo's face.

  "Qiu Ju has been sent to serve tea," said Qiu Yue.

  Ye Zhuo was taken aback. The maid assigned to do fine work brought water, but the coarse maid who did rough work went to serve tea and pour water. This Wang Yiniang, she's being too obvious. Even if they caught the mistakes of these three maids, Jiang Shi would know what she's up to as soon as she saw it. Now Jiang Shi is worried about her daughter and grandson, trying her best to please the main house, but Wang Yiniang deliberately stirred up trouble here, that's like running into a gun, if she doesn't get scolded then something's wrong.

  But thinking again, Wang Yiniang has been protected by the old lady since she entered Ye's house, and her opponent Zheng Shi is a heartless person. In such an environment, it's natural that the number of times they get along won't be high.

  She reminded them: "You be careful, if anything happens, go and report to me, I will help you out of trouble, let Wang's wife not have a good end."

  "Don't worry, miss, nothing will happen." said Qiuyue.

  Ye Zhuo also knew that Qiu Yue was a very clever person, even if something went wrong, she wouldn't suffer greatly. After giving two more instructions, he hastily went to the toilet and returned to the mourning hall.

  After all, Ye Zhuo and her family were not filial children and grandchildren, and the people of the main house couldn't really let them guard the mourning hall. By around dusk, Ye Yuqi had everyone from the second house go back to rest. Ye Yuzhang didn't decline, and led his whole family back to the Ye manor.

  On the way, Ye Zhuo saw that Wang Yiniang's face was not good, but Qiu Yue and the other two had a relaxed expression. She thought to herself, "Could it be that the two sides had a fight, with Qiu Yue emerging victorious?" As soon as she returned to Biyu Residence, she eagerly asked Qiu Yue about it.

  "Miss, you don't know that Wang the concubine has been keeping an eye on us, trying to find fault with us. We two naturally did our work carefully, trying not to give her any excuse to criticize us. Later, when Autumn Moon saw the old lady coming from afar, she deliberately pretended to be struggling and knocked over the water bucket. Wang the concubine was delighted at that moment and loudly scolded us, saying she would beat us with a board. The old lady then came over and reprimanded her, asking why she had assigned the task of fetching water to us and saying that she had no sense, still making trouble at this time. Later, Wang the concubine could only call over a rough servant girl to fetch water and told us to go wash tea cups, not daring to keep an eye on us again." Finally, she added, "Knowing full well that the old lady was in a bad mood, she still acted so foolishly at this time, simply stupid!"

  Ye Zhuo and Qiu Yue both burst out laughing at this. Ye Zhuo praised, "Our Qiu Ju is getting more and more clever."

  "That's it." Qiu Ju raised her head, very pleased with herself for having accepted this praise.

  Yesterday, before returning, Jiang said that the next day, everyone would have breakfast in their respective courtyards, and then gather at the main courtyard at noon to go to the main house together. However, after the chaos of the previous half-day, only those who needed to boil water and cook rice, as well as those who served tea and poured water, were required to follow closely behind their masters. The others were divided into two groups, one for the morning and one for the afternoon, with those who didn't have a turn staying in the mansion to do chores. Even after the master returned, they wouldn't be so busy that they couldn't even get a cup of hot tea.

  So on the second day early in the morning, Ye Zhuo had breakfast and then took Qiuyue to Zhengyuan with Jiangshi to Da Fang.

  It's not hard to see that Ye Yuzhang has built such a large family business over the years, aside from being good at calculations, there is also the reason of diligence. When Ye Zhuo and the others arrived at the main house, Ye Yuzhang was already standing in the courtyard, speaking passionately to Ye Yuqi who had two black eye circles: "......Big brother, you're not thinking about yourself, but you should also think about your nephew's wife. You can't work anymore, and you're often sick; Big sister's body is still good, but her eyes are no longer usable, she can't do embroidery work again. Without Yu'er's income, even if you don't want the compensation from the Jiang family, how hard would it be for your nephew's wife to earn money to support this whole family? Working day and night on embroidery, they wouldn't even make a few copper coins. So, even if it's not to let Yu'er rest in peace, but for your nephew's wife, you shouldn't be so stubborn. Letting go when you should, I'll go talk to the Jiang family properly. Although the Jiang family is not wealthy, this is a matter of human life, they must show some sincerity. Getting some compensation, not only can Yu'er's funeral be handled properly, but you will also have some leftover money for old age."

  "I had expected to lean on my crutches and walk away, but now I've changed my mind. I'll take the money and use it to buy a good coffin for my daughter-in-law. As for me, I'd rather die than live off the charity of others. My poor daughter-in-law is still young, and if she's willing to stay with me, I won't drive her away. But now that my daughter is gone, I naturally can't delay her from returning to the Zhao family. After my wife and I have avenged our daughter's death, we'll drink poison and join our daughter in the afterlife."

  "Hey, big brother, what are you talking about? More than a decade ago, even the younger generation wouldn't leave their parents behind. Now, she's going to abandon you two old folks and go back to the Zhao family? What kind of good life will she have when she goes back? You're not considering her well-being, only thinking about venting your own anger. Once you've spoken your mind, what's the benefit? By doing this, you're not only making Pei Er anxious, but also driving your poor daughter-in-law to death."

  Ye Yuqi had been thinking of going to the public hall to seek justice, but yesterday he couldn't get out of bed. His wife and daughter-in-law were both women, and this matter wasn't something that outsiders could replace, so they could only drag it on until today. But unexpectedly, Ye Yuzhang's words made him hesitant. He himself didn't care about anything, thinking that the only way to avenge Ye Pu was to bring the murderer to justice through the law. Whether he lived or died wasn't important to him. However, he couldn't help but think of his daughter-in-law, Zhao Shi. At 18 years old, she had already become a widow and had been filial to her elders while raising her son to be talented. She had endured hardships and was kind and filial. Now that her husband and son were dead, could she still return to the Zhao family and remarry? The reputation of being a "husband-killer" would make her suffer from cold treatment by the world. It was better to keep her in the Ye family, where they could live together as a family of three.

  "I don't want the money, I just want justice for my son." A person rushed out of the house and shouted at Ye Yuqi. The man was thirty-five or six years old, wearing a plain white dress, his eyes were red and swollen like walnuts, his face was pale and haggard, it was none other than Ye Yuqi's daughter-in-law Zhao.

  Yeh Yuqi nodded his head in approval and said, "Good, this is the kind of good daughter-in-law my Yeh family needs! Father, I'll go strike the drum to proclaim injustice right now." With that, he leaned on his crutch and walked forward.

  Ye Yuzhang saw that his persuasion was useless, and he was about to follow him again. But unexpectedly, Ye Yupi had only taken a few steps when his body swayed and fell to the side. Ye Yuzhang quickly supported him, secretly rejoicing in his heart, but still putting on an anxious expression, asking: "Big brother, big brother, are you okay?"

  "Father." Zhao's family was shocked and quickly came forward to support his father-in-law.

  "Niece-in-law, it's not Uncle saying you. Your father-in-law is at this age and his body is not good, if he goes to the court and drums, can he bear a few slaps? You don't think for yourself, but also think for the two old people!" Ye Yuzhang took the opportunity to advise.

  "Family righteousness daughter-in-law..." A person came out of the house, it was Guan's older brother - Guan and Zhao families went back last night, and came again early this morning. They heard Ye Yu Zhang's words in the house, some rational ones thought that Ye Yu Zhang's words were reasonable, but they were afraid of being scolded by the people of Ye family for being greedy and forgetting righteousness, so they didn't come out to mediate.

  But Guan Lao Yezi thought of his own sister, who was over sixty years old, and if Ye Yuqi continued to make trouble like this, the future would be bleak. So he came out to persuade: "It's not that I don't let you go to avenge Pu'er, but life has to go on, you also have to think about your parents-in-law's future. No matter whether you leave or stay in the future, Ye's family must adopt a child to continue the incense of Ye's family. Without money, the child will suffer when they come, and when they grow up, they will have to serve three elders, who would be willing to adopt a child?"
