I stood at her door for a long time, and even the doormen who were guarding outside were surprised and looked in. I thought about it and walked out slowly. As soon as I reached the door, I saw them standing upright and nodding at me: "Miss."

I stopped and said, "You can immediately ask the kitchen to make some medicine to calm the mind and calm the old lady."

The disciples were a little confused: "It's so late, does the old lady still need to drink the medicine?"

I frowned: "Didn't you see the lights on in the old lady's room all night? How could the old lady stay up so late when she is old? How could she stand her body? Why don't you persuade me?"

Listening to my string of beads and cannons, the disciples were stunned, and they didn't expect that I would do it suddenly.

I said coldly: "Are you guys just doing something in your hands?"

"this--"

"If the old lady's body is broken, can you have a good life?"

Although my relationship with Xue Qian is well known to the Yan family, now that I am so "righteous and strict", these servants have nothing to say. They hurriedly agreed, and someone went down to prepare.

I looked back at the candlelight that was still flashing in the room, turned around and walked out.

However, I didn't go back to my room.

The night was still as deep as the dark curtain. I followed the lights in the corridor and walked forward. After a while, I walked outside Yan Qingchen's residence. When the gatekeeper saw me coming in the middle of the night, he was shocked and hurriedly came forward and asked, "Miss, why are you here so late?"

I said, "I'll discuss something with the head of the family."

"this--"

The sect was a little hesitant, and immediately, a maid came out from the side, who was serving Yan Qingchen in close proximity. She walked up to me and saluted, and said softly: "Miss, this is midnight, can't you tell the head of the family tomorrow?"

I said, "No, I'm going to see him now."

"However, the head of the family applied the needle only during the day and needed rest."

“…”

"Miss, please disturb him now, I'm afraid the body of the head of the family--"

Her words were sincere. If I were usually not here in the middle of the night, I would have made things difficult for them, but at this moment I was determined to see Yan Qingchen. As I was talking to them, I heard a rumbling sound coming from the room. Then Yan Qingchen said inside: "Is it my sister?"

I hurriedly said, "Qingchen, it's me!"

As soon as he heard that he had woken up, we hurriedly walked in. The maid went to light up the candlestick in the room. She saw Yan Qingchen's face pale face, wearing a close-fitting little dress, trying to support herself to sit up. He looked up at me and forced a smile on his face: "Sister."

When I saw his face, I felt a little distressed. I didn't say anything for a moment. The maid had already walked forward: "The head of the family—"

Yan Qingchen glanced at her, then turned to instruct the servants: "Take her down, take her down, be punished thirty, expel her from the Yan family, and never hire her."

When the maid heard this, she was so scared that she fell to her knees on the ground with a plop. I was also stunned: "Why?"

He didn't explain at all, and the servant begged for his side didn't ask much. He went over and dragged the maid out. The maid was crying and begging for mercy. Yan Qingchen looked at her coldly: "If you make another sound, you will be punished by fifty!"

At this moment, she didn't even dare to cry, so she was dragged out.

I stood beside his bed, who was about to come to talk to him, but was stunned by this moment. Seeing another servant coming up to pull the door from outside, I looked back at him: "Why are you doing it for no reason-"

"It's not for no reason."

He fiddled with his hand and said coldly: "Now everyone knows what's going on at home. My sister comes to me late at night, and there must be something very important, otherwise you won't come. And she dared to block my sister from outside my door and commit the crime below, and she doesn't know the severity of the punishment. My punishment is already lighter."

Once he said this, I couldn't say anything else.

Yan Qingchen then raised his head and looked at me: "So, what's the important thing about sister?"

I came to my senses, walked over to sit on the edge of the bed, and told him what happened today. Yan Qingchen's face became increasingly ugly as he listened to me, and his brows were tightening. When he heard me finally say that Xue Qian had asked Pei Yuanxiu to go directly to Yan Gang, he said fiercely: "I should let them blame her for fifty!"

Indeed, if we can't tell him about this matter overnight, we will discuss a solution, even if we beat the maid to death, we will not be able to save the situation.

I hurriedly said, "Don't be angry for now, we have to think of a solution!"

Yan Qingchen frowned.

I said, "I have been away from Xichuan for too long, and I don't know much about my fifth uncle. Do you think if Pei Yuanxiu really goes to him, how likely is he to be persuaded?"

Yan Qingchen almost didn't think about it and said, "He doesn't need to persuade him."

"What?"

"Pei Yuanxiu is very smart. If he meets his fifth uncle, he will know who the other party is after a few words."

“…”

"He doesn't have to talk to him at all, just incite him."

"What's the meaning?"

A little cold light flashed in Yan Qingchen's eyes: "We may not know who the fifth uncle is, but I can understand his attitude towards this matter almost now."

"Why?"

"He asked Yan Zicong and Yan Ruoyu to come over early, and he was on the way, so he said that he wanted to participate in this matter. With his status and status, if he wanted to participate in something, can he not find out in advance?"

“…”

"Since he has figured out clearly, he is sending someone over and the meaning is very clear."

I said, "Will he not stand on our side?"

Yan Qingchen sneered: "The most direct way to stand on our side is to not participate."

“…”

This time, I have nothing to say.

Although Yan Qingchen's words were sharp, they were a good idea. You can tell the whole story from the fact that Yan Gang asked Yan Zicong and the others to come over, he could indeed judge his attitude.

No wonder Xue Qian asked Pei Yuanxiu to greet him halfway.

This makes the problem even more difficult.

I just felt a headache: "What should I do now? I can't just sit there and wait for death."

Yan Qingchen just thought for a moment, then raised his head and looked at me: "What are your plans?"

I thought about it and said, "If the old lady has already decided to use the fifth uncle to put pressure on you, then what I can think of at the moment is to find someone who is about the same seniority as the fifth uncle or can surpass him."

Yan Qingchen glanced at me: "Auntie?"

“…”

Although I mentioned the topic, I also found it absurd.

In fact, the generation of grandfather and his family is still alive. In addition to the fifth uncle Yan Gang, there is another person who may be alive, which is the eldest daughter of the Yan family and the eldest sister of grandfather and his family - Yan Yi.

However, this aunt seemed to have left the Yan family at a very young age. I don’t know if it was a marriage or why. I haven’t heard of her in the Yan family again for decades. Since I was a child, I can count the number of times people mentioned her, and I can count it with five fingers.

Yan Qingchen shook her head: "Where is she now, I don't know whether she is dead or alive. How could she find her in a while?"

I was also a little discouraged: "Then, can there be such a person?"

Yan Qingchen thought about it and nodded almost immediately: "Yes."

When I heard this, I hurriedly asked, "Who?"

He said, "You know, this time my mother is going to summon everyone to the ancestral hall, and of course there are people who have been guarding the ancestral hall."

I nodded, this is natural. Xichuan retains many customs that have been passed down from ancient times to the present, including that all the ancestral halls of large families will not be built in the place where the family home is located, but will be built in the place where the family is rising. Although the family does not live there, some people will be hired to guard them. The guardians will continue to reproduce and reproduce for many years. Over time, another large family will often form, and the entire family is the guardian of this family ancestral hall.

Yan Qingchen asked me: "Do you know who the guard is?"

I shook my head.

Generally speaking, I won’t tell my daughter about this kind of thing, and I don’t even have the qualifications to enter the ancestral hall. Since Yan Qingchen inherited the head of the family, he naturally had to tell him.

He said: "The one who guards the ancestral temple is the one who is around my great-grandfather."

"Great grandpa..."

When I heard this, I was immediately excited.

The people around my great-grandfather are older and older than my fifth uncle.

Although that man was only a servant around his great-grandfather, there were such unwritten rules in the big family that the servants around the elders had a higher status than those of the young masters. When they were there, even the young master would give in to him.

If so, we might have a glimmer of hope.

Yan Qingchen said: "Actually, I wanted to ask someone to go to the ancestral hall in advance to prepare. No matter what the fifth uncle and the others were going to say, in the end, it would be impossible to solve this problem."

I understood as soon as I heard it: "You want-"

He nodded silently.

I couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he could not get out of bed these days, so he could not do anything. Unexpectedly, even if he became so ill, he still did not relax at all.

He said, "Since that's the case, it's better to-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before he could finish his words, I rushed to say, "It's too late tomorrow."

"…!" Yan Qingchen opened his eyes slightly and looked at me.

I said, "I calculated Pei Yuanxiu's footwork. Yan Ruoyu said, "The fifth uncle is almost two days later than them. If Pei Yuanxiu adds to incite, I guess they will arrive at noon tomorrow at the latest."

Yan Qingchen looked at me: "Then what you mean is-"

I said, "I'll leave now."

"Now?"
