Sun opened her mouth wide, wanting to say something, but not knowing what to say.
Back at the table, everyone was already clearing away the dishes.
Ye Panjiu said in a deep voice, "Qian Zhi, the head of the Qian family, just sent his steward to say that Qian Tairan just fell into the river and died."
The bowls and chopsticks were placed back on the table.
Old Man Ye asked incredulously, "Is it really such a coincidence?"
Ye Panjiu shook her head. "This is what the Qian family made for us."
Grandma Ye felt a weight on her heart. "The Qian family is being too ruthless!"
That was, after all, a human life.
Even if he were handed over to the authorities, it wouldn't warrant a death sentence.
Ye Panjiu said calmly, "Let's leave it at that. Let's end the feud with the Qian family here. Does anyone have any further thoughts?"
Old Man Ye, his shoulders hunched, said, "I have no idea. In the face of power, life is as worthless as grass. Our Ye family should always leave ourselves a way out."
Ye Panjiu paused. She hadn't even said anything about it yet, and the Qian family had already gone to such extremes.
But she had a clear conscience and didn't think Qian Tairan's death was her fault.
“Our Ye family did nothing wrong. It’s getting late, go to sleep.” Ye Panjiu said and walked into her room.
Watching her resolute back, the Ye family members all stood up and went back into the house.
After returning to her room, Ye Panjiu lay on her bed and looked at the moonlight streaming through the window.
Ancient and modern views on human life differ.
A life was lost in the blink of an eye.
She thought of Qian Tairan, who was truly heinous, for kidnapping a girl who was only thirteen years old.
If it weren't for Peach Blossom's martial arts skills and her resolute mindset, she would definitely have been traumatized.
If she hadn't found Peach Blossom today, or if Peach Blossom had been harmed, she would have killed Qian Tairan with her own hands.
Moreover, she didn't think that Peach Blossom was the only person Qian Tairan had ever hurt; such a person simply didn't care about the life or death of others.
She made a vow to him, and then broke it in the blink of an eye. So what?
At that time, she would use any means necessary to find peach blossoms.
Her family is her willing weakness.
She will show no mercy to anyone who lays a hand on her family!
The next day, a new day, was New Year's Eve.
This is the last day of the year; tomorrow is the New Year.
Before Ye Panjiu could get up, Su Yan had already arrived at the Ye family's door with many gifts.
After last night's incident, the Ye family viewed him much better because of his willingness to help without hesitation.
Old Man Ye waved to him, "Little Su, come and sit down. Have you eaten yet?"
Su Yan shook his head. "Uncle, this is a New Year's gift I brought for you. It's two jars of imperial wine, a longevity wine. You can have a little bit of it now and then; it's good for your health."
Old Man Ye was astonished. "So the imperial wine for the Winter Solstice came from you! You rascal, you're something else!"
He stretched out his good hand and carefully touched the wine jar.
The peaches carved on this wine jar are incredibly lifelike.
Su Yan picked up two more jars of wine and walked to Ye Erniu's side. "Second brother, these are for you, Imperial Wine Taipingchun."
Ye Erniu glared at him, trying to stop him from shouting, but his hand had already involuntarily taken the wine.
How could he refuse this imperial wine!
If you miss out on one jar in your lifetime, you might never have another one!
Besides, what's wrong with calling him "Second Brother"? Even if I do, it doesn't mean I have to marry him. Humph.
Next, he presented Old Lady Ye with a brocade headband inlaid with five gemstones of various colors, which she immediately put on her head.
"I knew I felt a cold wind blowing on my head all day." She smiled brightly, holding up a bronze mirror and looking at herself while rubbing her forehead.
It looks so good, and the forehead is warm, covering up so many of the wrinkles.
What was given to Ye Daniu was a deed for a horse farm in Qingshui County, and Ye Daniu's name was already on the deed. "The horse farm is managed by someone, but if you like, you can go and take a look often and manage it yourself."
Ye Daniu solemnly accepted the land deed, saying, "I will definitely raise the horses to be strong and plentiful, so you won't lose money."
Su Yan waved his hand, "There's no real capital involved, it's just something to fool people into thinking it's real."
After writing a eulogy for the emperor, he excitedly asked him what reward he wanted.
That was the only eulogy he ever wrote in his entire life.
Two bolts of brocade were given to both Madam Sun and Madam Liu.
Four bolts of brocade with subtle patterns, each a different color.
He didn't have time to buy it; this was prepared by Yan Yu.
"I don't really know what colors my two sisters-in-law like, so I just picked the best-selling ones in the capital," Su Yan said with a smile.
He's good-looking, and with that smile, he even gave away cloth.
Sun now wishes he were her real brother-in-law!
"Oh, brother-in-law, look at my mouth! I'm so happy just touching this silk! Thank you!"
Ye Panjiu had just gotten up and walked over when she heard what Sun said.
She shook her head and said, "Second sister-in-law, I'll buy you even more silk in the future, so don't find me a husband."
The matter had already been discussed last night, and Su Yan wasn't upset. He picked up the gifts and walked towards her, saying, "You're up. Happy New Year's Eve."
Looking at this scene, Madam Sun felt no remorse whatsoever. "It's not like I can only call him brother-in-law if he's my husband. Ask your second brother. Back when I wasn't even married into the family yet, my brother was already calling him brother-in-law all the time."
Ye Panjiu glanced at Madam Sun and said, "Happy New Year's Eve, so early."
The New Year's gift Su Yan gave her was in a box, but she didn't open it and took it back to her room.
Su Yan walked alongside her and took the box from her hands, saying, "I'll take it."
Ye Panjiu did not refuse, "Qian Tairan died last night."
Su Yan already knew about this. He looked at Ye Panjiu's calm face, unable to discern any emotion. "Tao Hua is not the first person Qian Tairan has taken revenge on. He has a lot of blood on his hands."
