Chapter Eight: Sleepless Night at the Villa

"The owner of Yuqing Manor, Zhen'er is so scary. The soldiers in the yamen are so lucky. At worst, they can talk with money. The imperial guards in the court said they beheaded and there was no chance to distinguish them." Ye Zhen'er said in fear while helping Yuqing close the village gate. Ye Xuan stood in fear behind him, as if she was nightmare.

"Zhen'er, I'll do less in the future when I speak with money. They are all bottomless pits that cannot be filled. The court raises them to do things for the people. We can't spoil them. Ye Xuan, what's wrong with you? Don't be afraid when everyone leaves."

"Master Yuqing Manor, is it a sin to be a surname Yan?"

"Ye Xuan, what's wrong with you? Is there someone named Yan in your third yard?" Zhen'er asked in confusion.

"No, absolutely not. It's just that our villa is as big as us. Although more than a thousand people died, there are still two thousand women, children and children. Master Yuqing, do we really need to check carefully?"

"Ye Xuan, now we sisters are on the same boat, either working together to move forward, or prosper and lose together. Say any worries, and let us sisters find a way together." Yuqing said sincerely, and she was convinced that there must be someone named Yan in the Third Courtyard, but she didn't know who she was.

"The owner of Yuqing Manor, Zhen'er, it's really up to me that my father had just taken a concubine not long ago before he died. It is said that he was a branch of the Yan family in the imperial city. As a result, my father died this time. What should she do?"

"Ye Xuan is just a concubine. For the overall situation of the villa and so many women, children, she can only be handed over if necessary." Zhen'er said hurriedly.

"Yes, you'd better go back to ask the person in charge about the backyard. Hey, our villa has registered household registration, right?" Yuqing said vaguely, thinking that such concubines usually don't record them in the genealogy. How to deal with them depends on the Third Court itself.

"The owner of Yuqing Manor, the former owner of the manor said this matter, it was not delayed by busy cremation. There are many things we have to take over tomorrow."

"Yes, I forgot all the serious things. Oh, I almost finished picking up the ashes. The rest were poured into the land of the villa, and asked these relatives to protect our villa. The weather was good and everything went well every year, and it was a good harvest year."

"Miss Yuqing said it well. The carriage is ready. Just sprinkle the remaining ashes in the villa." The old doctor had been hiding by the gate just now, worried that these girls could not deal with the yamen soldiers and the later imperial guards. As a result, whether it was the yamen soldiers who often bullied the people or the imperial soldiers who held the power of life and death, they were all sent away by the owner of Yuqing. In his heart, he had already looked up to Ye Yuqing, the lady living in the villa, and he respected him.

"Grandpa Doctor, you haven't returned to rest yet, so let us have the rest."

"Okay, Yuqing girl, our Qi family villa is quite a bit united, except for some others being a little mean. I, the old man, kept listening to what you said just now, and don't say it casually in the future. This time, the old man died in the palace, and he led the team for our villa. The owner's wife is sorting out her household registration, and the ones who can be recorded in the family genealogy are the main wife and the children and grandchildren of the legitimate family. The side room and concubine are casual, but in order to block the court's mouth, you must register every household clearly this time. We are just a clan villa, and most of the women who cannot be on the table are boudoir names. The court does not like women, and women themselves do not like themselves." The old doctor said with a pointing finger.

"Doctor, Ye Xuan understands."

"Oh, it seems that it is snowing in spring. Master Yuqing, this is really a good omen." Zhen'er looked carefree and thoughts were more meticulous than Ye Xuan. Looking at the floating snowflakes, she hurriedly changed the topic.

"Yes, this snow came too timely. I was worried that the ashes would be difficult to clean up the dust that was raised quickly. Everyone was more cautious and sent the ashes into the ground and then go back to sleep."

The gate of the villa finally became quiet, and the floating snowflakes quickly covered the traces just now. The hill where more than a thousand corpses were stacked disappeared, just like the wide and neat thing in the past. The pile of corpses left in the memories of the villa women will exist for a long time, and may never be forgotten in my life.

Spring snow also covers part of the land belonging to Qi's Villa, and the ashes are buried. When spring is warm and flowers bloom, these ashes will turn into rare nutrients and seep into the soil. The ashes of relatives will definitely bless their wives and children. I hope that the people will not go hungry in troubled times and will have a life of food and clothing.

Ye Yuqing walked into the door of Liuyuan's house while stepping on Baixue. He saw the lights on in his room, and then he remembered that it must be the nanny waiting for him. If it were the same as Ye Jing and Ye Wen, the nanny's soul had not yet been firmly settled. He went into his bedroom in three steps and two steps. Sure enough, the nanny was lying weakly on the bed, his face was pale and he could not see a trace of blood, and his eyes were distracted without focus.

"Madam, you can't walk far away and wait for Yuqing."

"Miss, the nanny has nothing to explain to you. The nanny will not leave."

"Madam, your soul is still unstable. Don't talk first. We will talk until Yuqing is finished."

"No need, it's incredible that the nanny can survive for so long. This is not a good thing for you in the future. This time, the nanny followed Zhuangmin to the palace. But except for this opportunity, the nanny will never find another opportunity. Come and sit down and listen to the nanny tell you about your parents and your life experience." The nanny greeted weakly. Yuqing sat next to her, just to draw the soul more conveniently.

"Madam, say slowly, Yuqing will help you wipe your face." Ye Yuqing said as he held the jade brush in his hand.

"Yuqing, your surname is Qi, your aunt is my old woman's niece. This was all from many years ago, and you don't have to know so clearly. I was kind to my brother back then, and your aunt adopted you in order to repay her kindness. It was also for your life experience to better protect you."

"Does my aunt and uncle know my life experience?"

"I don't know, I said you were the child I picked up. Your aunt should have some idea. Your uncle has no idea at all. Alas, if you don't talk about them, they are all dead."

"Then are my parents still alive?"

"To be honest, nanny doesn't know that your father is the ninth son of the late emperor and the eldest princess is born to the late queen. This has led to your father being excluded and envied by the princes, because the heirs of the throne are given priority to the queen's son. The late queen was poisoned to death shortly after she gave birth to your father, and your father lost the protection of his mother. The eldest princess, who was already married at the age of marriage, was also married to a mediocre person. Your father had a misfortune since childhood. Although the late emperor had done his best to protect him, your father was still often injured. When your father was old, he stayed away from the court to learn literary and martial arts from a master. At the age of twenty, he led troops to fight to resist foreign enemies. He was the God of War Prince of the Dayan Kingdom. More than ten years ago, your father married your mother a farmer girl from the frontier and had you brother and sister.

The law of the Kingdom of Dayan does not allow it. In order to protect your brother and sister, your father killed the person who leaked the secret, and also asked us to send you secretly back to the imperial city. Unexpectedly, we were chased and my husband and I were scattered by the pursuers. I took you back to the imperial city with a lot of hardships, but found that things changed. The eldest princess was imprisoned in the princess's mansion and the princess's head was beheaded. The rebellion in the imperial city was that beginning. There were rumors that your father died in the battlefield, and there were rumors that your father was executed in order to protect your mother and his village. What was the matter? A distance of thousands of miles apart, maybe no one knew. I only knew that your sixth uncle went to the border... Here in the imperial city, your fifth uncle killed his father and occupied the throne for less than ten days, and your eighth uncle killed the fifth prince under the banner of clearing the throne and became the new emperor.

This time, the nanny went to the palace to find out the news, because if my husband was still alive, he would definitely go to the imperial city to join the Grand Princess. But I am not a member of the imperial city, and I had no way to join you back then. My husband is a subordinate of your God of War Dad, and I also know the Grand Princess. Over the past ten years, the nanny has wanted to go to the imperial city to find the Grand Princess more than once, but the imperial city changes every day, and your God of War Dad has been forgotten. The direction of the court is unclear, and the nanny is a woman again. More than ten years have passed." The nanny was so tired that she closed her eyes and gasped.

"Mum, please rest and talk. Have you seen the eldest princess this time when you entered the palace?"

"Miss, I saw you. The eldest princess is even worse than us. The princess's mansion was also sent to the emperor. The eldest princess took the people in the mansion to clean the palace in the palace. But no one died than us. People from our villa and other clans were treated as prey during the day and at night for those princes and princesses to kill and play with. Your aunt and aunt protected me and died on the first night... In the end, almost all the people who entered the palace to work were dead. I was also shot with an arrow. When I woke up, I was already at the gate of the villa. Miss, you are also the princess of the Great Yan Kingdom!"

"Madam, have you felt better? Yuqing will help you rub your heart. Madam, when I chose the owner of the manor, Yuqing wanted to be a princess, but I didn't expect that I was a real princess. My father is also the prince of the God of War. If my father is not dead, Yuqing will still plan to call her father the emperor." Yuqing drew circles in the mother's heart and said jokingly.

"My lady, how can you say this casually? You can't let others know about your life experience now. You can't do this owner, just hide in the villa and see the direction of the court. You must not cause yourself a murder." After the nanny was circled by the jade god's pen on her chest, she was completely awake. She sat up on the bed and looked at Ye Yuqing with a confused look.

"Miss, I'm not dead, mama."

"Mum, you were shot in the palace and just fainted. When you returned to the villa, you woke up. You were just crushed by the pile of corpses and crawled out last night.

"What kind of life is now? Have you lived many days? The nanny felt like she had never eaten in her whole life?"

"My lady, you have been lying in the pile of corpses at the entrance of the villa for more than twenty days. Jing'er has made some porridge for the nanny. Madam, please eat some quickly." At this moment, Ye Jing walked in with a bowl of porridge and said, and the nanny's stomach was very cooperating. The Yuqing siblings laughed unkindly, and the nanny herself laughed.

"Be good, nanny, I have been fainted for more than twenty days. God is so blessed. nanny can see you again. Jing'er, your parents died in the palace in order to protect nanny. From now on, nanny will be your grandmother, and you will be the grandson of nanny." The nanny took over the bowl and tears were already flashing in her eyes.

"Grandma, we have grandma." Ye Jing also snuggled into the nurse's arms sensible, and the three grandparents and grandchildren were in a good mood. It was almost dawn, and a new day began.

"The Lord of Yuqing Manor, this is the genealogy of the Qi Family Villa. It turns out that there are more than 3,000 people in total, and less than 2,000 people are registered. Those concubines and concubines are not in the book. Generally, the imperial court comes to check everything, and they read them from the genealogy. They don't have to show them the others, and they don't care." The former owner of the manor opened the large study room of the villa, pointing to a few registration books and said, and there was a stack of concubines and concubines next to them, which was no less than the orthodox genealogy.

"Madam, you may not have to read it to the people in the court before, but this time it's not certain. Ye Xuan and Zhen'er, let's read the genealogy first, and then look at those unorthodox booklets. You must not leave any talk to the people in the court."

"Master Yuqing Manor, just listen to you. This time the court may not be easy to fool, so it is better to be firm. We have been implicated by one or two people."

There were ten yards born in Qi's Villa and sixteen yards born in vain. These were the three girls named Ye Yuqing, who read the book from the Sixth Courtyard for most of the day. Ye Yuqing's name was recorded in his uncle's name. Those who didn't know thought Yuqing was his uncle's illegitimate daughter. Yuqing felt at ease, and he could imagine how nervous the nurse and the aunt were back then, and they did things without any leakage.

The booklet of the Third Court does not really have the name of the concubine. It only records the master of the Third Court, a wife and two side rooms. This is also called Ye Xuan's peace of mind. She just waited to sort out the concubines and side books in the afternoon before taking a look.

In the afternoon, the three girls who looked at Ye's side branches and external genealogy had their eyes hurt, which was really a bad book. Fortunately, the concubine's name was only recorded in the column of the concubine's concubine in the third courtyard, which was the same as other concubines in all external genealogy.

"Master Yuqing Manor, Zhen'er, I finally let go of my heart. I went back last night and said a few words to my mother. My mother meant that it was really impossible, so she told the concubine to die by herself."

"Ye Xuan, maybe you remembered it wrongly. There is no one named Yan in the Third Hospital." Zhen'er said pretending to be confused with understanding.

"Well, I must have been scared by the Imperial Guard last night. My father is already dead, and the remaining three courtyards are full of widows and children. I hope the court will not send anything, otherwise how can the women, children and children in the villa live?" Ye Xuan was also very accomplicated and hurriedly changed her words.

"Ye Xuan, Zhen'er, I took a rough look at the account book. Why is the money in our villa's house so pitiful?"
