It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 699: Don't Question the Fortune

At this moment of chaos, Master Wu and Master Li from Chang'an Prefecture unexpectedly arrived at the door of the Ye family.

The gatekeeper in front didn't know about the situation in the backyard. Since the two men were also officials, they didn't dare to neglect them and invited them in directly. When they walked into the main hall, they heard the chaos in the backyard. The two men didn't care about avoiding suspicion and walked quickly to the backyard.

At this time, the concubine Yufen was lying on the ground, spitting blood, and no one dared to approach her.

Ye Xueke stood there in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.

When Master Li saw this scene, he didn't care about anything else and shouted, "Save her first, call the doctor!" Then he immediately walked to the side of his concubine Yufen, bent down to check her condition, and found that she was still breathing.

He was old and had a high seniority, so he didn't care about anything else. He half-lifted his concubine Yufen and said loudly, "Let her lie down first, get a quilt, a basin of warm water and a towel, hurry up!"

Ye Xueke's wife, Yu, reacted immediately. She didn't even bother to instruct the frightened maids. She started to fetch a basin of water and shouted, "Put it in this room! Over here!"

Because the concubine Yufen was a new bride and was favored by Ye Xueke, her room was arranged directly on the west side of Ye Xueke's room, and the festive red decorations on it had not been removed yet.

The women all took action, and the arrangements were made. Master Li felt the pulse of the concubine Yufen, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a wet towel, and pried open her mouth with chopsticks to check if she had bitten her tongue... In short, after a series of operations, he said: "It's nothing serious. Let's wait for the doctor to come and take a look. It seems that she was confused and fainted because of the surge of blood."

"Does she...have any hysteria?" Ye Xueke asked cautiously.

"This is your concubine? Don't you know?" Master Li couldn't help but retort to him.

"I heard her music in Zuihonglou at that time, and the madam also said that she was a clean-born girl, so I bought her back." Ye Xueke wiped the sweat off his face, "I didn't see any symptoms."

"Maybe there was something unclean in your yard that bumped into her." Master Li pointed at the broken pieces of the wine jug that fell on the ground at the door. "What did she do just now? Why did she take the wine jug? But there was no smell of alcohol in her mouth, so she probably didn't drink."

"This..." Ye Xueke looked at Yu, and Yu quickly told Master Li what had just happened.

At the same time, Ye Xueke also introduced the identities of Master Li and Master Wu to his family.

As the hurried footsteps sounded, the servants invited the doctor over. Everyone then stepped aside from the bed to let the doctor treat them, and they continued talking at the door.

"Master Li, what are you doing here?" Ye Xueke suddenly realized how these two masters from Chang'an Prefecture suddenly appeared in his backyard. "The soldiers guarding the city said they saw you driving a few carriages loaded with porcelain, so we thought it must be done." Master Wu answered quickly, "We got news that the emperor and his men are on their way back. It will take at least half a month to reach Chang'an, or at least a month."

"Oh, oh, oh." Ye Xueke then remembered that he had an exquisite white porcelain plate in his arms, which was thin and translucent, but extremely white and smooth. He carefully took it out, and asked someone to bring the candlestick, and compared it to the two masters, "How about this one? I heard that the craftsmen made it specially for the queen. Some people have also seen the current queen, saying that she is so charming that she must not like those heavy bronze, gold and silver utensils, and this thin porcelain plate has been fired hundreds of times before it was successful. I thought of bringing it back to show it to Lord Mao first, and then decide whether to make more."

"Wow, this is really beautiful!" Master Wu couldn't help but touch it and praised it. "Boss Ye, you are a great craftsman in making porcelain! This is the first time I've seen it. It's hundreds of times better than what the palace is using now."

"Sure enough, I don't know whether the Queen likes it or not, but Lord Mao will definitely like it." Master Li also touched it and nodded.

"That's good." Ye Xueke felt relieved.

Seeing that the doctor was not going to come out for a while, Ye Xueke estimated that he would need to examine the patients and prescribe medicine, so he asked his wife Yu to take care of the matter. He bowed and invited the two masters to sit down in the main hall in front, and asked someone to serve tea and water and exchange greetings.

However, he couldn't help but ask Master Li in the end, "You said before that this house is a Feng Shui treasure land, which attracts wealth. Of course, I can't say it's wrong, but I always feel a little awkward... You know what I mean, my mother and friends all died suddenly that day, and I spent a lot of money to settle these things. Today, something like this happened again. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I still like this concubine very much. She is gentle and amiable. I even intend to let her give birth to more children to inherit the Ye family's property, but now..."

"What do you want to ask?" Master Li narrowed his eyes.

"...Since this is a house with excellent feng shui, why does my house keep having problems?" Ye Xueke said, "My wife just said that my concubine Yufen actually said that the Earth God Judge was in the yard... Although I don't believe in ghosts and gods... but she looks like this, could there really be something wrong?"

"This is recorded. How could I lie to you?" Master Li was obviously unhappy. His brows were furrowed and he tapped the table with his fingers. "How come the Yang family next door lives well, but you always have problems here? Isn't it your fault? Aren't you the one who is arrogant and relies on the money you have earned to cause trouble?"

Every word you say is really rude.

Master Wu was so scared that he stood up, waved his hands, and repeatedly signaled Master Li not to get excited and Master Ye not to get angry. "Hey, talk nicely, talk nicely, don't be anxious, Boss Ye didn't mean that, it's really okay."

"I... am an honest and upright person..." Ye Xueke wanted to make some excuses, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that what Master Li said did make sense. If he hadn't held a grand banquet and everyone hadn't drunk so much alcohol, perhaps such a thing wouldn't have happened.

"We wanted to inform you in advance when we came here!" Master Li snorted, looking really angry. "If I hadn't drunk your wine before, I wouldn't have rushed over to tell you about this!"

"Oh, I was wrong, I was wrong." Ye Xueke was also a smart man. Naturally, he understood what was going on and immediately lowered his head.
