【Chapter 037】Old lady suffers stroke
"I have thought of many ways to humiliate you. When you are filled with resentment and die tragically, and become resentful ghosts, I will collect them into the Thousand Souls Banner. Even if there is no spiritual energy in the Mortal World, my cultivation will definitely be able to break through."
The more he spoke, the brighter Nangong Chenyu's eyes became.
He seemed to have seen the day when he would achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. A pair of eyes stared at Old Madam Ye, as if they were looking at a mountain of gold and silver.
It made Old Madam Ye feel creepy, as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
"You, who are you?"
Madam Ye's voice was trembling as she spoke, and she unconsciously leaned towards the inside of the bed. She suspected that Nangong Chenyu was poisoned to death by arsenic on the wedding night. The person standing in front of her now is Nangong Chenyu, who has been possessed by an evil cultivator.
Nangong Chenyu did not answer but asked: "Who do you think I am, old lady?"
These words made Old Madam Ye even more certain that the person in front of her was not the same Nangong Chenyu as before.
"You want to use resentful ghosts to improve your cultivation, so it doesn't have to be us. As long as you are willing to let us go, I can help you. I will find as many people as you want."
Old Madam Ye patiently and persuasively.
Nangong Chenyu sneered in his heart, Old Madam Ye was really vicious. In order to survive, they will do anything. She doesn't look like the character of the excellent old lady who is only mentioned briefly in the storybooks.
The storybook says that Madam Ye and the second family are all top-notch. Although he is supported by Ye Xian, he still looks down on Ye Xian. He looked down on Ye Xian's children and even coveted Ye Xian's property.
Madam Ye continued her vicious words: "However you want those people to die, I will make them die, and I guarantee that you will get a powerful vengeful ghost."
Seeing that she had stopped talking, Nangong Chenyu encouraged her, "Keep talking, say more, let me see how vicious you are."
Madam Ye: “…”
Is she vicious?
No, she just wanted to survive.
Anyone else would definitely do the same as her.
She is just one of the countless people in the world, and everything she does is beyond her control.
"Don't you think my suggestion is good? I'll help you, and you don't have to dirty your hands."
If it were a real evil cultivator, he would probably be tempted by what Madam Ye said. But Nangong Chenyu is not an evil cultivator. Not only that, he is the light of righteousness in the Xuanwu Realm, and countless evil demons have died under his sword.
"It's a good suggestion. However, a vicious soul like you is the vengeful ghost I want most."
Old Madam Ye almost vomited blood. She felt like she was shooting herself in the foot.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should get on the road." After saying that, Nangong Chenyu saw that Old Madam Ye's eyes were wide open, and then he realized what he had said.
He slapped his forehead and said, "No, I just said it wrong. It's not getting on the road, it's being unconscious. You should be unconscious."
Old Madam Ye didn't expect that after she said so much, the other party just thought she was talking nonsense. Seeing Nangong Chenyu reaching out his hand to her, she shouted, "No, no, don't come over here."
Nangong Chenyu said unhappily: "You are an old woman, but you always say things that can lead to misunderstandings. If someone who doesn't know me hears it, they might think I have some weird hobby!"
After a pause, he continued, "I'll give you one last chance. Tell me Ye Xian's background, and I'll let you go."
Old Madam Ye shook her head and backed toward the bed.
Seeing that she was so scared and still refused to say anything, Nangong Chenyu felt helpless. At the same time, various routines in the storybook flashed through his mind.
The first thing that came to his mind was the substitution of a cat for a prince.
But before he could make any test, he saw that Mrs. Ye's mouth was crooked and her eyes were squinting, drooling from the corners of her mouth, and her hands were shaking. He went forward to check and found that Madam Ye had suffered a stroke.
This development! It's just bizarre.
Nangong Chenyu could only remain silent.
He took out a silk pillow from the closet, knocked Madam Ye unconscious with a single blow, then put her back to her original position and picked up the broken jade on the ground.
After doing all this, Nangong Chenyu opened the door and walked out of the room.
When the two maids loyal to Old Madam Ye saw him finally come out, they hurried into the room. Seeing that Old Madam Ye was the same as before, the two maids breathed a sigh of relief.
They were obviously relieved too early, because in two hours, when Old Madam Ye woke up again, she would give them a big surprise.
Nangong Chenyu did not leave immediately after leaving the room. He first explained something to Xiaoliu and then went to the side room.
Ye Erye, who was beaten by them, lived in the side room. At this time, Ye Erye had woken up. When he saw Nangong Chenyu, he subconsciously shrank back.
"Second uncle, you're awake!" Nangong Chenyu greeted with a smile.
"...What else do you want to do?" After what happened before, Master Ye was really a little afraid of Nangong Chenyu.
"I heard from Butler Du that my betrothal gift is with you. When do you plan to give it to me?" Nangong Chenyu asked, looking down at Master Ye with his arms folded.
Ye Erye's heart trembled, and his mind worked quickly: "You see, it's not convenient for me to move like this now. When I get better, I will personally deliver the betrothal gifts to you."
"You have difficulty moving around, but I am very mobile. Tell me where you put the betrothal gift, and I will go get it myself." Nangong Chenyu said sympathetically.
Master Ye secretly groaned in his heart, as he had used up all the 100,000 taels of betrothal gift. Where could he get 100,000 taels of silver in such a short time?
Seeing that Second Master Ye didn't speak, Nangong Chenyu called out softly, "Second Uncle."
Ye Erye's body shuddered again, and he forced a smile: "I have deposited your 100,000 taels of betrothal gift in the bank. I will go back and get it back and give it to you some other day."
"Which day is that other day Uncle mentioned?"
"Five days later." Ye Erye stretched out a hand.
Nangong Chenyu frowned unhappily: "Does it take that long?"
“Four——” Master Ye observed Nangong Chenyu’s expression. He originally only bent one finger, but immediately changed it to two fingers: “Three days.”
"Okay, then I'll give my second uncle three days." After saying that, Nangong Chenyu left the side room.
Mr. Ye, who was lying on the bed, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Nangong Chenyu waited under the eaves for a few minutes, and Xiaoliu came back with more than ten people. These dozen people are all servants of the main house of the Ye Mansion.
"Hello, son-in-law." Everyone called out in unison.
Nangong Chenyu nodded to everyone, and then said: "All of you follow me in."
He turned around and went back into Madam Ye's room.
Having learned from the previous lesson, even the two most loyal maids to Old Madam Ye did not dare to speak up to stop them this time. The two stood in front of Old Madam Ye's bed, looking at everyone warily.
Nangong Chenyu pointed at the valuable ornaments in the room and said to the people who followed him in, "Move all of these to the yard where I live."
Everyone looked at each other and took action without saying a word.
Seeing that the servants from the main house were acting like bandits, the maids and servants in Old Madam Ye's yard quickly stepped aside to reduce their presence.
The four guards who had followed Nangong Chenyu here before saw that there were no decorations to move, so they turned their attention to the furniture in the house. One of the guards asked, "Sir, these tables and benches are made of fine pear wood. Do you want to move them too?"
"How much silver is a set of tables and chairs like this worth?" asked Nangong Chenyu.
The guard held up two fingers.
Nangong Chenyu waved his hand and said, "Move away."
Now, Madam Ye’s room was cleaner than when the bandits entered the village.
After taking a look at the bare room, Nangong Chenyu left with satisfaction. He did not return to the main house, but went to Fu Shangyuan where Mr. Ye lived.
Mrs. Ye Er was frightened in the morning and her hand was injured. After Ye Erye left, she rested in the room. She drove all the servants out of the door.
She also told everyone that no one could enter the house to disturb her until Mr. Ye came back.
Therefore, Mrs. Ye knew nothing about Mr. Ye being beaten or what happened in Old Madam Ye’s yard. At this moment, she is dating Zhou Gong.
There was a sudden slam on the door.
Mrs. Ye Er woke up from her dream.
She shouted angrily, "Come in."
Chunhuan opened the door and ran into the inner room. Without waiting for Second Madam Ye to ask, she said, "Second Madam, it's bad, Second Young Master Nangong has come to Fu Shangyuan."
"Who did you say came to Fu Shang Garden?" Mrs. Ye's voice rose a few notches.
"Second Young Master Nangong." Chunhuan repeated.
"What is he doing in Fu Shang Yuan?" Madam Ye Er got out of bed in a hurry: "Where is the Second Master?"
Chunhuan seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
Madam Ye Er took a deep breath and said calmly, "What happened to the Second Master?"
Chun Huan said as she combed Madam Ye's hair, "The Second Master was beaten up by Young Master Nangong and the guards of the Ye residence. He is now in the old lady's yard."
"The Second Master was actually beaten!" Mrs. Ye Er couldn't believe what she heard.
At this moment, the man's voice suddenly rang out at the door of the inner room: "Hey, Second Aunt is combing her hair!"
The sudden sound startled Mrs. Ye Er. After seeing clearly who was at the door, Mrs. Ye Er's hands on the dressing table could not stop shaking, and her palms were still aching slightly.
She tried to suppress the fear in her heart and put on the attitude of an elder: "You know I am your second aunt, and you still barge in without permission."
"What I can't do is just disrespectful to my elders." After saying this, Nangong Chenyu walked to the table and sat down, then picked up the dried fruits from the plate on the table and started eating.
He treated this place as his own territory, which made Madam Ye Er so angry that she almost bit her teeth.
After walking out of the inner room, Madam Ye Er sat down in the main seat. Then he looked at Nangong Chenyu who was sitting at the table and asked, "I heard that you beat your second uncle?"
"Second Aunt, don't let the villain instigate you." Nangong Chenyu said while eating, "I never hit Second Uncle. I was just helping him to relax his muscles and bones."
"By the way, my second uncle asked me to come over to pick up the betrothal gift."
"What kind of betrothal gift?" Mrs. Ye Er had a bad feeling and her face turned pale.
"It's the betrothal gift given to me by the eldest wife of the Ye family." Nangong Chenyu explained kindly.
Ye Erfu cursed in her heart, she had never seen the shadow of the bride price from beginning to end. Now Ye Mingrui actually asked Nangong Chenyu to ask her for a dowry!
