red Shi Lifeng's words, that if there was anything he needed, he just had to shake this bell. 。But what could possibly happen to her At least so far, she hasn't run into any trouble that would requir..."Didn't you get it wrong The Xiao family knows what they did themselves. " 。"This remark was made by Madam Ye." 。Although she would be intimidated by Ye Wen at night, when facing the old matriarch of the Xiao family, she felt that even if she wasn't superior, she was at least on par. 。What's the difference between a marquisate and not A first-rank general's mansion in Lin'an City is of what caliber. From the royal family to the common people, everyone knows. 。However, now that there is no general in the house, the momentum must definitely be toned down. 。But if the old master were still around, she wouldn't dare to behave this way at General Manor, not even if the Xiao family offered her a hundred times their courage. 。Mrs. Ye snorted coldly and ordered her servant, “Come clean this up, and bring Mrs. Xiao a new pot of tea.” 。This time I'm using silverware, so I won't have to throw it on the ground and break it again. 。” Madam Xiao took three deep breaths before she could control her anger and avoid a confrontation with Madam Ye. However, after calming down, she said: "Elder Sister, don't blame me for speaking bluntly..." 。"I still say the same thing, no matter if Gengtie is right or wrong, why didn't you do something about it back then" She continued, her sleeve twitching slightly, "You don't answer, so I'll answer for you." 。Back then, you didn't dare because you wanted a daughter from my Xiao family to elevate the status of your second son. You were afraid we wouldn't agree to marry our daughter off to him, so even though you knew Gengtie had issues, you remained silent. 。Elder sister, am I right Your family's Ye General doesn't like the second son, and the General's Mansion doesn't support him either. So you must find a good wife for this precious son of yours, someone who can be his pillar of support, so that he won't be outdone by the eldest son in the future. 。“Such a white-eyed wolf!” Old Madam Xiao sighed as she arrived, “For all these years, your second son has accomplished nothing. He hasn’t made his mark in the military nor has he taken the imperial examinations to gain honor.” 。He relied on his family's protection and was given a nominal appointment as a minor general. 。It is this official who is to blame. My Xiao family went to great lengths to secure him for you, yet General Ye, you seem utterly indifferent. 。Older sister, sometimes I think, how could General Ye treat his two sons so differently It seems like the second son is treated no better than an outsider, whereas we in the Xiao family take care of him more. 。" The old madam's face grew even darker, and Ye Wenyan also shifted her gaze from the tea to their own grandmother. 。At this very moment, Lady Ye felt uneasy and looked towards her. 。Their eyes met, and Old Madam Ye panicked, dodging away. Yet Ye Wenyan merely smirked, a cold smile playing on his lips. 。It seems that Tang's speculation is very likely to be true. 。Seeing that she had put Old Madam Ye in her place, Elder Madam Xiao regained her composure and said, “Furthermore, if we must talk about the past, then let’s truly relive it today!”Her tone turned sharper, and everyone sat up straighter. 。The more I looked at these night family members sitting in the house, the more they bothered me. The more I looked, the more I felt that my daughter had married into a pitiful family. 。 The second son is a good-for-nothing, the eldest son is a short-lived one. Back then, she was blind, how could she have fallen for the Ye family "Back then, your family's general strongly opposed Shoubai entering the house, and I don't know why, he just looked down on our Ningguo Houfu..." 。We're just thinking, if we don't like it, we don't have to. We won't get married anyway. 。But why did Ye Family suddenly rush to marry my daughter later They even doubled the dowry. 。"Older sister, you wouldn't have forgotten, would you"
Night Old Madam still wasn't speaking. It wasn't that she didn't want to speak, she just hadn't been paying attention to what Xiao Old Madam was saying...
Right now, all she could think about was one thing: when Old Madam Xiao just arrived, why did Ye Wenyan look at her with that kind of gaze, and then gave her a mocking smile at the end. 。Her heart was truly racing. 。
Elder Mrs. Xiao started slapping the table again, "You've forgotten, but I haven't! And I can never forget!" The rest of her words were almost a roar, "Before, I wanted to spare face for your Ye family, but since you don't have any shame, then this old woman will go all out with you and stir up the pain from those days! Why did you hastily marry my daughter into your home It was because your Ye family's son did something disgraceful! He ruined our innocent and virtuous eldest daughter!"
She covered her face and sobbed, accusingly. Her words even made Xiao Sh beyaz wipe tears along with her, and she wiped her eyes while saying, "If I had known this day would come, back then you should have let me die by crashing my head, dying would have been better than marrying into the Ye family..."
"
The old woman cried even harder, “How come I didn’t think of this before Your father… My Xiao family isn’t afraid to give up our daughter! We’ll sue your Ye family to the highest court!” >>> 。Then the Night Family was frightened. The general's wife came in person to plead, speaking sweet words and making pleasing promises. 。We trusted you, we gave you our daughter in marriage, but now we didn't expect such a thing to happen. 。“
She angrily scolded Ye Jingsheng: “You animal! How could you not!”
Xiao Shubei howled and cried, cooperating very well with Xiao Lao’s accusations >>> 。
Ye Xing listened to this and became anxious, "Give our Ye family face The Xiao family is too good at turning black into white! I didn't mention this, it was clearly done to give your Xiao family face! Now you're blaming me! Who plotted against whom back then, don't you have a clue in your hearts" He slapped Xiao Shubi. "What are you crying for Shut your mouth!"
"You dare to hit my daughter"
"Why not" Ye Xing's eyes widened, "I would have killed her! If I hadn't been tricked by her, could I have ended up in this state today My beloved woman couldn't even enter the house I endured you for almost twenty years, but today I can't bear it anymore. This matter has to be cleared up! Xiao Shubi, what did you put in the wine you gave me back then"
He paced angrily in the room, "Don't keep saying that our Ye family covets the Xiao family...Who coveted whom first back then Have you forgotten Let me remind you, it was your Xiao family who targeted my older brother first and sent someone to propose a marriage!"
My elder brother and father both disagree, so you're focusing on me again. 。But I'm not willing either, because Xiao Shubi is a year older than me. I don't want to marry an elder sister. 。But the Xiao family's daughter wouldn't marry anyone but the Ye family! The Duke of Ningguo wanted the Ye family's military power, so you changed her dowry, her age, and had Xiao Sh beyaz ask me out for a drink, drugging my wine. That's how this one-night affair happened!" Ye Sheng recounted everything that happened that year, "I have a three-cup capacity! How could I be drunk with just one cup You wouldn't even need your toes to figure it out - the problem was with the wine." 。"Humph! I was only fourteen that year! If any of the Xiao family had a shred of humanity, they wouldn't have done such inhumane things!"
He pointed at Ye Fei Zhou again, "Look, this is the son born after that night of debauchery. His character is known throughout the entire capital city. My father was ridiculed for years, and even now when I go outside, people point fingers at me. I hate him so much, I wish I could kill him and scatter his ashes!"
He grew angrier, his eyes burning with murderous intent as he looked at Ye Fei Zhou. It seemed like he was about to pounce and strangle him. 。Ye Fei Zhou sat motionless in the chair, not looking at his father, and his expression didn't change at all. 。Xīchūn frowned and said, "So the second young master was born this way What a bastard." 。" "The child 。"Ye Wen spoke, "Slap that woman! She isn't even a concubine, not even a slave girl, and she dares to insult the young master of this household. Death would be too lenient!" 。"Night Wen, you dare!" Xi Chun let out a shriek and instinctively rushed to Night Jing Sheng's side seeking protection. 。But Zhuier was faster than her. She rushed forward in a few steps and slapped Xi Chun twice, leaving blood on both corners of Xi Chun's lips. Her face immediately swelled up. 。This startled Old Madam Xiao as well, and she stared at Ye Wenyan with a face full of terror. 。She knew the one being beaten was Yezhi Shengna's concubine. Although she was also fed up with this, the scene was still shocking enough for her. 。No matter how you look at it, it's unheard of for a elder sister to hit her aunt in front of outsiders. And this aunt is from her second uncle's family, and she was scolding her second uncle's son. What does this have to do with her, the daughter of the first wife"Master!" Xichun burst into tears, "Master, she hit me, Master, you must do something for me!""Shut up!" Zhuier really disgusted Xichun, "Instead of being a good servant, she wants to be a concubine who's not even a servant. You deserve to be beaten! Why are you crying Even if my elder sister wasn't your previous mistress, in this household, you don't have the right to act arrogantly in front of her!"Zhuier said all that in one breath, finally letting out her frustration, and then returned to stand behind Ye Wenyan. 。 Mrs. Xiao looked at the maid leave, then stood behind Ye Wenyan, her hands clasped in front of her body, even wearing a smile, as if nothing had just happened. 。That expression was exactly the same as Ye Wenyan's, truly following his master. 。Xi Chun was stunned by Zhu'er's words, standing rooted to the spot. She forgot to ask Ye Jing Sheng for help, simply covering her face in confusion. 。Everyone in the room was stunned by the sight, even Xiao Shubi forgot to cry. 。Ye Wen leaned back, one leg crossed over the other, holding a teacup as he coldly glared at Xichun. “Remember this, you are a concubine. A concubine is not a legitimate mistress.” 。The young master of the mansion can be scolded by his father, but you're not allowed to scold him. 。You've already divided the marital affection between the two mistresses, how now, you even want to claim custody of their child You just speak so presumptuously to the second young master, not putting any regard for the second mistress or Madam Xiao at all! The concubine rebels before even the secondary wife has entered, truly shameful. 。These words reached Old Madam Xiao’s heart, and the old lady even reflected on herself, feeling that her previous prejudice against Ye Wenyan was all wrong. 。Isn't this child really good He is both well-behaved and sensible. Either he doesn't speak, or he gets straight to the point, every sentence is for their side, what a good child. 。Then, Madam Xiao gave Ye Wenyan a friendly smile. Unfortunately, Ye Wenyan didn't even look at her, just beckoned to the servant standing by the door, "I'm hungry, bring in some snacks." 。" know how to be caring. 。Alas, you didn't listen to me before, and only had that Sixth Prince in your heart. 。Now that you're actually listening to me, I still feel like it's better to listen to you....
