Chapter 284: The Ancestor Took Action

“According to your words, I don’t suffer from injustice until I lose reputation and integrity which make me hang myself. Who harm people is wronged, the one who is harmed deserves it. Is that what you mean? “Ye Jiayao couldn’t tolerate anymore.

She used to think even the royal had so much power but they still make sense. Now, she realized that she was so naive. The truth was always in the hands of the superior. They could make whatever they want to be truth.

The empress dowager was contradicted again and her majesty has been repeatedly provoked. She was so angry when she thought about the misery of LiuLi. “Someone here slap this woman for me. I need to punish this slut. She is reckless and speaks insolently.” She roared.

The old Lord and You knelt down and begged:” Please, my lord, don’t do this! Though JinXuan has said something bad but there is reason.”

Ye Jiayao looked at the empress dowager coldly and said:” Mom and Dad, you don’t have to beg for me. I have to say everything out even I will lose my life here. It is not wired that LiuLi is so domineering and capricious because of learning from you. As the noblest woman in the world, respected by all the people, should be benevolent, generous and reasonable, is the model of the world’s women. Who knows that in order to protect the child, she would be so nonsense and indiscriminate that deal with things by personal preference. Where is the royal’s dignify? Where is the authority? Where is the prestige?”

Ye Jiayao’s queries made the old lord and You frightened. The empress dowager’s face was pale. She was furious and couldn’t believe that someone dared to say something like that.

“It’s no doubt that it’s hard for you to become the honorable empress dowager from an inconspicuous concubine. You are accustomed to the warmth and shade of the world which make you think what LiuLi has done doesn’t matter. And you think it’s normal that do what you want to do and let others have no way to go. My life has no worth, but even the lowly cricket and ant cling to life, so I won’t be partitioned by others at will. Either you kill me today, or if I walk out this door I will knock on gongs and drums to tell people all that LiuLi and you have done. Let all the world judge you. Let’s lose face together. The royal’s prestige worth so much than JinAn Lord’s.” Ye Jiayao said with an inviolable momentum. She thought,” I would rather die with honor than live with shame. She could kill me if she has enough courage.”

“Count me in.” Xia Chunyu walked out.

“Me too.” He Lianjing stepped forward.

“If it’s not enough, you can count me in.” The Yide princess supported the ancestors to come in.

The empress dowager really wanted to kill Ye Jiayao. No one even the king dared to accuse her like that since she became the queen. Everyone honored her greatly and wouldn’t violate her. This slut deserves to be punished by hacking process.

But Chunyu, Jing and sister had come, they all stood on the side of that slut.

Except Chunyu and Jing, sister used to be her best friend. Sitster and the old lord had help her a lot to become the queen. That’s why she let her favorite Yide married to the HeLian. She couldn’t violate her sister.

The empress dowager only had to let it go and called someone to make seat for the ancestor.

The lord and You wasn’t relieved until the ancestor took action. They were so frightened that JinXuan was so brave to accuse the king and the empress dowager.

Ye Jiayao wasn’t surprised that ChunYu and Jing would come. She was confused that why the lord didn’t show up until she knew that the lord had went to find people to help her.

But, ChunYu and Jing stood up for her without hesitate which really moved her.

This was not the first time. The HeLian would stood up immediately when she had matter. This time even disturbed the ancestor.

The empress dowager glared at Ye Jiayao and then asked softly:” What makes you come, my sister?”

The ancestor knock the ground with crutch, arrogant, “LiuLi is your grandchild, JinXuan is my grandchild. I will protect my child like you. My grandchild has suffer such injustice without telling me, otherwise, I will reason with you early.”

The ancestor set out to settle accounts. What JinXuan had said she heard. She knew that JinXuan wouldn’t say such thing if she was not angry enough.

The empress dowager was worried. The matter was not easy to settle now.

The ancestor looked around and asked:” Where is LiuLi? Is she too ashamed to show up?”

Yide was so frightened. She was the most embarrassed among them. One was her mother, one was mother-in-law. It was difficult for her to help anyone but she couldn’t absent.

The empress dowager rolled her brows and said:” You should asked You. Which woman can afford to kneel down for three whole days? LiuLi can’t stand up now.”

The ancestor sneered:” Only knelt down for three days? You, was that how you settled the matter? This is obvious partial to LiuLi. She is the granddaughter of the Empress Dowager, so you give the wrongdoer a way out. Our Jinxuan is a cheap one, so she can be trampled on? That’s nonsense. You have to give me an explanation today.”

This words sounded that the ancestor stumped You, but, actually she was helping You, letting the empress dowager know what was the right to do.

You knew what the words meant and explained with respect:” According the family’s rule, LiuLi should be turned out. But JinXuan and ChunYu was so nice that they let it go since LiuLi had apologized.”

The empress dowager was almost angry to spit blood. What? You even want to divorce LiuLi?

She scold:” What did you said, You? Why it is all LiuLi’s fault?”

Xia Chunyu stepped forward and said:” Why don’t you asked LiuLi if it’s all her fault? Or, I give the proof to the state office, let them to judge.”

“This is a good way. We will be considered to protect our children whoever you and I to judge the matter. It’s better to let the office to judge. I have heard that the officer of Jing Zhao Office is scrupulous. He judges things by proof and won’t be partial.” The ancestor spoke slowly.

Ye Jiayao couldn’t help but applaud. Chunyu’s words were wonderful, and the attachment of his ancestors was even more wonderful. They sang one song and joined the beads together, and looked at the dark face of the empress dowager. Chunyu was holding her bane. To deal with the old lady should do like this.

As for the old ancestor, today she really opened her eyes. The old ancestors were usually gentle and kind, but also unexpectedly to be sharp like this which made others has nothing to say. It seemed that the old ancestor was also a great one!

The lord cleared his throat and sighed, “It’s unfortunately for the family. I have thought that the ugly thing should not go out. Apology and punishment is enough. We are still a family. However, since the Empress Dowager doesn’t believe, the old lady would not give up, then, I would give up the old face and let the government to judge. If the government think my punishment is wrong, I will apologize to LiuLi, and go to the ancestral hall to kneel. ”

The ancestor looked at the empress dowager’s cloudy face and asked, “How do you like it?”

The empress dowager was so angry. They knew that she wouldn’t do this. She laugh coldly: “When did the government manage the housework of other people?”

Xia Chunyu said solemnly:” Although it is housework matter, it involves using medicine to destroy other’s innocence which breaks the law. The government can deal with it.”

The empress dowager was shocked again. In fact, she knew very well that You was telling the truth. Liuli really did these things, but she could never admit that, if she did, Liuli’s reputation was completely destroyed. Others were fine, but it really was a cheap shot which was awful to be heard.

She had to swallow her pride and said:” I can let it go, but Ye Jinxuan and Liuli can’t live under the same roof anymore.”

The old ancestor said, “No, how can you do that? My granddaughter almost has to hang herself. I can’t let it go.”

The Empress Dowager clenched her teeth, but she had nothing to do and fall into a passive predicament.

“Ha,ha,ha….” A hearty laugh came from far away.

Everyone looked so solemn that the emperor came.

Yi De was relieved that her brother finally came. Otherwise, this matter could not be ended.

She sent someone to invite the emperor since she came in.

When the emperor came into the room, everyone prostrated themselves before him. The emperor felt that the atmosphere in the palace was not right. He smiled and let everyone calm down. He saluted to the Empress Dowager himself. The ancestors stood up and raised herself slightly. She had the privilege granted by the emperor that she did not have to kneel down when she saw the Empress dowager and the emperor.

“You don’t have to be so polite.” The emperor spoke gently.

“My lord, you come just right. I have a matter need you to judge.” The ancestor said.

Realizing that these people gathered here today did not come to talk and laugh, but he looked at the ugly face of the empress dowager, he knew that the Empress Dowager was wrong. He said, “Please.”

The ancestor looked at Xia Chun and said, “You tell what happened.”

Xia Chun came forward and told everything. You also added the accusation of the empress dowager of accusing JinXuan.

This made Chun Yu, Jing and the ancestor angry again.

The old ancestor stamped with crutch, and angrily said, “This is totally nonsense. It must be done today.”

The emperor was so embarrassed that he secretly blamed the Empress Dowager for protecting LiuLi. It was clear that it was the fault of LiuLi. It was due to the temper of LiuLi. If she had not been caught by the evidence, could she admit it? She would made a fuss at the beginning and wouldn’t accept the punishment?

However, how to make a decision? The lord and his wife have dealt with it .Liuli also admitted her fault and got punishment. But the Empress Dowager couldn’t let it go which actually harmed Liuli and made thing worse.
