She had to make sure that Ye Qingxue was captured by the emperor's men, thrown into prison, and eventually executed.
After Madam Zhou was locked up, Guanju Courtyard became quiet. Ye Qingxue watched the sunset as the sun gradually sank, only to see the old lady arrive with her nanny and maids.
Ye Qingxue was not surprised.
If the old lady doesn't come, she'll have to find a way to invite her over.
“Young lady, the old lady is your grandmother. Even if you are to be executed in the next quarter of an hour, you should still pay your respects to your grandmother!” the old nanny said in a deep voice.
Ye Qingxue said, "Grandmother, you've come at just the right time. I have something I'd like to ask you."
The old lady was very dissatisfied with her attitude, but thinking that she was about to die, she couldn't be bothered to argue with her.
Ye Qingxue asked, "Does everyone in the world who commits a crime have to be executed?"
The old lady said in a deep voice, "Of course!"
Ye Qingxue asked again, "Even if that person is the master of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, is he not an exception?"
The old lady thought she was being referred to, and a mocking look flashed in her eyes, but she still adopted the demeanor of an elder: "If only you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? If you had listened to your mother and your second aunt when they were teaching you, how could you have ended up like this today?"
"Qingxue, even if you are a member of the Marquis's family, this old woman still has to say something to you: your current predicament is your own fault, and you have no one else to blame but yourself. Even if you are the master of the Marquis's family, you are no exception!"
Ye Qingxue smiled and looked at the old nanny and two maids beside her: "Old nanny Wang and the two sisters, can you testify for me? Grandmother said that anyone who commits a crime should die, and no one is exempt, even if the person is a master of the Marquis's mansion."
Granny Wang, the two maids, and the old lady were all bewildered. What did she mean? They couldn't understand a word she was saying.
Ye Qingxue smiled and said, "Dongbai, take Grandmother downstairs and take good care of her. Remember to give Grandmother the best spot."
Dong Bai's actions in "inviting" Bai Qi and the others away were far from gentle; in fact, they could be described as rough.
This provoked Wang Mama to hurl insults incessantly, leaving the two maids dumbfounded, and the old lady so angry she almost fainted.
But Ye Qingxue didn't care, as long as the matter was resolved.
She glanced at the setting sun that was about to disappear behind the rooftops and counted the number of people on her fingers.
"Now we're just missing Third Aunt's family, then Ye Yabing and Ye Cunjin. The others are easy to 'invite,' but Ye Cunjin will take some effort. And we have to be on time, so it's a bit difficult, but not impossible."
