Granny Gui stared at Ye Lily tightly. Only at this moment did she realize that from the beginning to the end today, she had been led by the nose by Ye Lily. Ye Lily said whatever, and she believed it. The relationship between her and Ye Lily had reversed. But Ye Lily was even more unpredictable than her. She could turn hostile in an instant, and she couldn't even guess Ye Lily's purpose.

"The only purpose of my coming is to send Granny on your way." As if guessing the doubts in Granny Gui's heart, Ye Lily smiled and said.

Granny Gui's body trembled. She wanted to cry and shout, but couldn't make a sound at all. That baby in the swaddling clothes had somehow grown into a real young girl. And this young girl's other side had never been discovered by anyone, not even by her. She wanted to resist fiercely and curse, but when she met those eyes like a wild beast, she couldn't help but tremble.

"My Ye family doesn't keep unfaithful people. Even if Granny becomes a fierce ghost on the road to the underworld and comes to seek revenge from me, I'm not afraid. Maybe I'll have another fight with Granny." Her words were colder than her smile, "It's not that I betrayed Granny, but that Granny betrayed me."

"It's a pity for Granny's grandson and son. Second Aunt always does things to the extreme. Maybe Granny will be reunited with them soon."

"No..." Granny Gui's body shook, tears and snot had already flowed together, crying pitifully, "Please, save them..."

"I already said that a servant who betrays the master isn't worth my effort. " Ye Lily's words were cruel and cold, "Standing by and watching is my greatest kindness."

She slowly leaned forward, as if whispering to Granny Gui when she was a child, and said faintly, "For the sake of our master-servant relationship for more than ten years, I came to see Granny for the last time."

"Granny Gui, have a good journey."

A charming smile bloomed on her fair and small face. Originally a cute and delicate face, it was so cruel that it made people's hearts tremble.

Granny Gui still wanted to say something, but then saw Ye Lily stand up, put on the cape again. The corner of the cape drew a pale light in the darkness, like the white funeral money flying on the coffin. The green lantern was carried out of the room. The moment the door was closed, everything fell into darkness again, and despair rushed up from all directions.

Outside, Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang saw Ye Lily come out and finally heaved a sigh of relief together. They supported Ye Lily and turned to leave.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

After they left, a woman's figure appeared in the flowers. Looking at Ye Lily's back and then at the closed firewood door, she showed a resentful expression.

...

After several autumn rains in a row, the sky finally cleared up.

Everything in the General's Mansion seemed to return to its usual calm. But the smell of medicine wafting from the east courtyard from time to time still reminded people of the turmoil that happened in the Ye Mansion a few days ago.

Ye Cindy's mind seemed to be gradually recovering. At least she didn't go crazy when seeing people as before. But Ren Wanyun was afraid that she would be stimulated again. These days, she kept her in Caiyun Courtyard and didn't allow her to come out. She was even more afraid that Ye Cindy would commit suicide, so she guarded her all the time. As a result, all the affairs in the mansion were handed over to Chen Ruoqiu to handle. Ren Wanyun rarely left the courtyard, which gave Ye Lily a few rare days of peace.

But this didn't mean nothing happened. Granny Gui was finally executed a few days later. The charge was secretly colluding with villains and attempting to harm Ye Cindy. Now no one in the Ye Mansion mentioned Ye Cindy's matter in front of Ye Lily anymore. It wasn't because this matter had been settled, but because of what Ye Lily said in Rong Jing Hall that day, these people were cautious and didn't dare to act rashly.

They didn't dare to touch Ye Lily, but they still dared to deal with Granny Gui, the nurse beside Ye Lily.

According to the mansion's rules, Granny Gui was to be beaten to death. Generally speaking, if a servant committed a crime and was to be executed, if it was a serious crime, they would be beaten to death. If it was a common one, a bottle of medicine would do. In short, the deed of sale was in the hands of the master, and no one cared whether they lived or died.

But Granny Gui's death was really tragic. Her limbs seemed to have been broken alive. There wasn't an inch of good bone in her whole body. The whole person had blood flowing from all seven orifices and looked extremely terrifying. Even the servant who carried the body was a little afraid to look at the appearance of the corpse. But Ren Wanyun specifically asked Ye Lily to collect the body.

The maid Xiang Lan sent by Ren Wanyun came and said, "The madam said that although Granny Gui was executed for her crime, she was after all the servant of the fifth young lady. So the arrangement for the collection of the body still needs to be done by the fifth young lady. The body of Granny Gui has been placed in the yard of the west courtyard. The fifth young lady, go and have a look quickly."

Probably everyone wanted to see Ye Lily's panicked appearance. After all, the servants of the Ye Mansion knew that Granny Gui was Ye Lily's confidant. Now having such a tragic end, I'm afraid Ye Lily would be heartbroken.

Probably Ren Wanyun also thought so, thinking that Ye Lily would blame herself for Granny Gui's death because of her. But that day, in front of all the servants in the west courtyard, Ye Lily walked to Granny Gui's body, lifted the white cloth, looked at the tragic corpse without changing her expression, and didn't even frown.

Xiang Lan was surprised by Ye Lily's calmness, but saw Ye Lily shout coldly, "Granny Gui was domineering, deceiving the superiors and bullying the inferiors, and being arrogant and overbearing in the west courtyard. Such a servant, even if she didn't make a mistake, the west courtyard wouldn't accept her. Today, all of you should take a good look. Anyone who learns from Granny Gui's behavior will end up like this!"
