Chapter 698 Concubine Yufen Goes Crazy

In fact, Li Shiye was ten years older than Mao Hongbin. He should have been at home enjoying his grandchildren, but he was still willing to be a Shiye in Chang'an. It was said that he was knowledgeable, and he knew everything about astronomy and geography. He had read all the bamboo slips and books here, and he could remember everything he saw.

Therefore, even at his age, Mao Hongbin still refused to let him go, saying that even if he didn't do the copying work anymore, he had to sit here every day. If there was anything that needed to be checked or looked through, he could come and give some advice.

Therefore, everyone knew the importance of Master Li and was extremely respectful and polite to him.

Although Ye Xueke didn't know, after hearing Master Wu's introduction, he was naturally very polite to the white-haired Master Li.

Master Li was already drunk and his face was red, and his speech was a little incoherent. Master Wu beside him laughed and whispered to Ye Xueke: "Master Li has learned some metaphysical magic from Master Xu, and he is also proficient in the heavenly stems and earthly branches. You should ask him about your mansion."

Ye Xueke nodded quickly, filled the glasses of wine for both masters, and sincerely invited them to have another drink.

Master Li was already drunk, and he smiled at Ye Xueke in front of him, and his words were not so polite. "You are so lucky, you bought this house by accident. But it's also fate. There is not much record in the documents, but according to my guess, the rich man should have two sons, so he split the courtyard. The eldest son naturally took over his father's business and lived in his courtyard. It was really smooth sailing and he had a lot of money. The second son was idle, because his family was rich, he didn't worry about life. So he moved to another courtyard, which is today's Yang's house. But his family has a queen and two beauties, so it is really extremely rich."

"So, this is really the order of the Queen's family today?" Master Wu lowered his voice a lot. His words were just the beginning, and the rest of the meaning was up to Ye Xueke to savor carefully.

Ye Xueke also knew about the relationship between the Yang family and the current emperor. He reacted immediately and was extremely happy.

"I think Mr. Ye has made back all the money he spent on the house with the business he did today, right?" Master Wu naturally knew how much money Ye Xueke had spent and was teasing him on purpose.

Ye Xueke chuckled. Not only did he make back his profit, he even covered the cost of repairs.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye. After the funeral was over and he paid a lot of money to the wealthy businessman who fell off a horse and died that day, he felt that all the bad luck should be over. He even tidied up the courtyard where he lived. Although he did not dare to decorate it with lights and decorations, he secretly let his wife and concubines wear gaudy clothes. He also wanted to have some fun.

What's more, he had recently taken in a new concubine, who was so beautiful, plump and tender that people were reluctant to leave the room.

He even thought that if this concubine could give birth to a son for him, he could raise this son as his legitimate son. This was because his wife only gave birth to a daughter, and none of the other concubines had any children, which was also a matter of great concern to him.

Therefore, he worked hard every night and it was very hard.

But on the tenth day, when he came back from purchasing goods, he saw that his concubine had gone mad.

"What's going on?" When Ye Xueke walked into the backyard, he saw his wives and concubines standing in the corner, trembling. However, his concubine Yufen was wearing makeup and dancing in the middle of the empty space, holding a wine pot. Her posture was indeed very graceful, even very charming. But her expression was very strange, as if she was trying to flatter someone and trying her best to please him. She was also making various gestures of pouring wine, as if there was really someone in front of her.

Ye Xueke rubbed his eyes and tried to look over. In the night, the candles and lanterns in the courtyard were bright, and everyone was hiding in the corners at the foot of the wall. There was no one in front of the concubine Yufen.

"Master, I don't know what happened. She was fine when she was having dinner this evening, but she suddenly fell to the ground after dinner. I was scared and thought something happened, so I quickly asked someone to call a doctor. But before the doctor came, she suddenly stood up again, and then started dancing, dancing non-stop..." Ye Xueke's wife, Yu, saw him coming back, as if she had found a savior, and immediately threw herself to his side and began to speak tremblingly.

The other concubines also hurried over and started talking about what had happened.

Ye Xueke was also confused after hearing this, but it was obvious that the concubine Yufen had suddenly gone mad. No one had harmed her. Everyone ate the same food and everyone else was fine.

"She danced for a while, then ran to her room and put on this makeup...she grabbed a jug of wine and started dancing again."

Ye Xueke frowned and yelled at his concubine Yufen, "What are you doing? Why don't you come over and help me change clothes?"

His voice was so loud that Yufen, the concubine, actually turned around to look at him, but her eyes were a little confused. Then she smiled and said, "It's the master who is back! Let the sisters serve the master. I'm busy serving wine to the judge of the underworld and the black and white impermanence and other ghost messengers. They said that they would be here to handle a case in the next few days. Because my fate is very good, they especially want me to serve them. They said that if I do things well, it will definitely increase my life span, and they will also help me get pregnant early and give birth to more big fat boys!"

The tone of her voice was very normal, but what she said was unbelievable.

Everyone was at a loss as to what to do and could only look at Ye Xueke.

Ye Xueke's mind was also in a mess, and he reached out to grab the concubine Yufen. But her body was enchanting, and she dodged directly, and said with a sweet smile: "Master, I can't accompany you tonight, I have to accompany the Lord of the Earth."

"What nonsense is this!" Ye Xueke became even angrier and yelled at his servants to grab the concubine Yufen. But the concubine Yufen was like a slippery loach, and none of them could get close to her. She was still giggling, and the scene became even weirder.

Ye Xueke wanted to do it himself, but he found that he couldn't catch the concubine Yufen at all. So he called his wives and concubines and asked them to take other maids with them to control the concubine Yufen.

The women rushed forward and hugged her tightly.

But at this moment, the concubine Yufen suddenly seemed to lose her energy, her body went limp, and blood came out of the corners of her mouth, as if she was dead.

The women were so scared that they started screaming again and the situation got out of control.
