Chapter 156 Kong Ru was thrown into a mass grave
"Miss Ye and Prince Chen are a perfect match, talented and beautiful. They are the most perfect couple I have ever seen."
"I heard that the wedding date was chosen by the Imperial Astronomical Bureau. Five days is too hasty."
"That's right, there are so many things to do at the wedding, I'm afraid I won't have enough time to prepare."
"The wedding will be arranged by the Ministry of Rites, so we will definitely have enough time to prepare, but the wedding will definitely not be too grand."
"The emperor granted the marriage and the Ministry of Rites arranged it, so how could it not be grand? It should be comparable to the wedding of a prince!"
"I also think that the emperor has given Miss Ye many good things, which shows how much he values the wedding."
As Ye Chutang walked along, she found that almost all the discussions were about her wedding to Qi Yanzhou.
It was as if the previous scandals in the Shangshu Mansion no longer existed.
She knew very well that it was Ye Jingchuan who was doing something behind her back.
It doesn’t matter. On the wedding day, she will give Ye Jingchuan a gift that he will never forget!
Ye Chutang found an empty corner, entered the space, changed back into women's clothes, and returned to the Shangshu Mansion.
As soon as she reached the door, she saw Qi Yanzhou, a man of great bearing, walking out of the Shangshu Mansion.
He came to propose marriage.
Although the time for the wedding was very tight and the rhythm of the "three books and six ceremonies" was disrupted because of the arranged marriage, the most basic etiquette could not be omitted.
Qi Yanzhou bowed to Ye Chutang and said, "I owe you a pair of wild geese tomorrow."
In fact, the Ministry of Rites had wild geese raised, but he did not want them.
Wild geese symbolize loyalty and good fortune, and those hunted by hand are more sincere.
Ye Chutang didn't care about these empty formalities, but she would not reject Qi Yanzhou's feelings.
"Okay, Azhou, take care."
After Qi Yanzhou left, Ye Chutang entered the Shangshu Mansion.
Seeing her, Ye Jingchuan asked unhappily, "Where have you been? Why did you come back so late? The emperor gave you a reward, but you were not here. Prince Chen offered you a betrothal gift, but you were not here either."
"I wasn't here, but it was done. Why are you so excited?"
"You are going to be married soon, so you must not act recklessly in the future. Otherwise, you will not survive long in that place where people are eaten without leaving any bones behind, even if you have great abilities."
Ye Chutang knew that Ye Jingchuan was talking about the imperial palace.
She ignored him and held out her hand, "Where's the emperor's reward?"
Ye Jingchuan had already accepted the fact that she only cared about money.
"Sent her to Ningchuyuan. In the next few days, don't run around. Hurry up and embroider a veil for yourself."
"knew."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he suddenly thought of the deceased Kong Ru.
"Dad, what are you going to do with Kong Ru?"
We can't just leave her body in the house without announcing her funeral.
She didn't want to have a rotting, smelly corpse in the Shangshu Mansion when she got married!
Ye Jingchuan has not yet decided whether to bury Kong Ru directly or divorce her and send her back to the Kong Mansion.
So he asked Ye Chutang for his opinion.
"Chu'er, what do you think a father should choose?"
Ye Chutang rolled his eyes at Ye Jingchuan again.
"When Kong Ru was a concubine, she persecuted the wife, killed the legitimate son, and later poisoned my mother. Not only did she violate the seven grounds for divorce, she also committed a crime. You don't want to divorce her, but want to keep her for the New Year?"
Ye Jingchuan also knew that divorcing his wife was the best solution, but he didn't want to offend the Kong family and create another enemy.
"Chu'er..."
"Stop it. If you don't divorce Kong Ru and throw her out of the Shangshu Mansion, don't blame me for not thinking about the father-daughter relationship after I become favored!"
Ye Jingchuan would naturally not offend the future imperial concubine for the sake of a dead person.
He said angrily, "Who did you take this temper from? You get angry after just a few words, and I didn't say I wouldn't divorce you."
"If my grandmother was poisoned, you would be more anxious than I am. It's better to divorce her sooner rather than later."
After Ye Chutang finished speaking, he glanced at the betrothal gifts all over the courtyard and returned to Ningchu Courtyard.
Jun'er sat on the stone bench in the yard, stretching his neck to look outside.
Seeing Ye Chutang coming back, he immediately rushed over and asked, "Eldest sister, do you want to marry Prince Chen?"
The arranged marriage came suddenly and the wedding date was very tight. He was afraid that his eldest sister was forced to marry and would be unhappy.
Ye Chutang squatted down, met Jun'er's worried eyes, and said with a smile: "Of course I do. I was the one who took the initiative to propose marriage."
Hearing this, Jun'er felt relieved but also sad.
It won’t be as easy to see his elder sister in the future as it is now, and he is reluctant to let her go.
"Eldest sister, Jun'er will eat well, study hard, practice martial arts well, grow up quickly, and protect you."
Ye Chutang thought about Ye Jingchuan's future and asked Jun'er.
"Do you dare to tell the truth and go to Prince Chen's Mansion with your elder sister?"
Jun'er looked at Ye Chutang in surprise.
Seeing that she was serious, he nodded vigorously, "Jun'er dares!"
After saying that, he was about to go find Ye Jingchuan.
Ye Chutang held him back, "Not now, when the time comes, I will tell you."
Hearing this, Jun'er always felt that something big was about to happen.
But he didn't ask anything and trusted his eldest sister unconditionally.
Ye Chutang stood up, looked at Jin Zhi who was hesitant to speak, and said, "Aunt Jin, I'm hungry. You and Shan Er go cook."
"Yes, ma'am."
Dinner was prepared according to the medicinal recipe given by Ye Chutang, and it had a faint medicinal aroma.
Ye Chutang casually explained: "This medicinal food can nourish the body, eat more."
Although the main effect of medicated food is to treat morning sickness, it is also a good way to regulate the spleen and nourish the stomach, and everyone can eat it.
After dinner, Ye Chutang took Juner to the back garden for a walk to help digest the food.
Then the maids were discussing something.
"This is the first time I've heard of someone divorcing a dead woman. It really opens my eyes."
"Kong killed the wife and the son, so she will definitely not be allowed to be buried in the Ye family's ancestral tomb. She deserves to be divorced."
"The master sent Kong's body along with the divorce letter to the Kong Mansion. I don't know if the Kong family will accept it."
"Kong is just a concubine's daughter. Now she is no longer useful, so the Kong family will definitely not accept her."
As the maid expected, the Kong family felt ashamed and did not take Kong Ru's body. Instead, they wrapped it in a straw mat and threw it into the mass grave.
Ye Chutang learned about this from Qi Yanzhou.
At this time, she had already left the city and was rushing to the lair of "Night Fury" with Qi Yanzhou.
Of course, there were not only the two of them who went, but also hundreds of secret guards trained by Qi Yanzhou.
After they were more than ten miles away from the capital, Qi Yanzhou said to Nan Xiao: "You guys go first and take down Night Fury. Atang and I will follow later."
Ye Chutang didn't understand what was going on, so he followed Qi Yanzhou into a small path.
Amid the clatter of horse hooves, she asked, "Azhou, what are we going to do?"
