Chapter 40: The Fourth Miss Cuts Someone On the Spot

ionship would have reached this point 。Even during a major funeral at home, the master should not wear bright red when welcoming a new wife. 。"Xiao Shu Bai spoke to him with a pale face and no express...Xiao's cries were heart-wrenching. Xiangdong stumbled, but because she hadn't heard her elder sister tell her to stop, she only stumbled for a moment before continuing to run. 。

Xiao shi was anxious and seeing that Xiang Dong and the others wouldn't come back, she immediately turned to face the old matriarch and argued: "Don't pursue Qing Mei's matter any further! Don't pursue it anymore!"

The old matriarch was very dissatisfied with Xiao shi speaking to her like this, but even if she was dissatisfied, she couldn't argue with Xiao shi at this time.

Seeing that her household was about to be turned upside down, seeing that Xiangdong's maids were about to run out of Fulu Courtyard, and seeing that Xiao Shi had even tears in her eyes, she could no longer sit still. She grabbed the old mama beside her: "Quickly, bring them back!" Then she said to Ye Wenyan, "Don't hold a grudge against Qingmei anymore in the mansion. You quickly get those two maids back!"

Ye Wenyan rolled his eyes, “Then you let my elder sister wake up first>>> 。“ The old woman was almost spitting blood: “Get up! Get up quickly! Your sister just pulled you, why didn't you get up then, why did you stay kneeling Night Qingmei, get up quickly and tell your sister to bring those two maids back!”

Night Qingmei got up sobbing. In the courtyard, Granny Yuan also stopped Xiangdong and the others.” 。Ye Wen looked at the old lady, her wrinkled face vaguely familiar. That day when a group of old thugs surrounded Qingliang Courtyard, this granny was also there. 。She waved at Xiang Dong and the others: “Come back! Let’s hear what the old lady has to say about this.” 。"It's done, and I also said to Ye Qingmei: 'Sister, there's no need to kneel to anyone. You haven't done anything wrong.'" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!。"There's another sister in the family who isn't even married yet, and she's already pregnant! What does a painting of spring flowers amount to compared to that" Night Qingmei stomped her feet anxiously, "I didn't..." 。" You know, I'm just giving an example. 。She looked at the old lady, “Grandmother, is my logic wrong Everything needs a comparison. If you compare me to the third sister, don't you think my elder sister is a very sensible and polite girl” Before the old lady could speak, Yuan Mama who had just walked to the front hall doorway blurted out, "The fourth sister is twisting words!" Ye Wenyan was angered, she suddenly turned around and swung her fist— "It's not your turn to interrupt, mistress!" Yuan Mama stood there taking the hit, then with a bang, the stick directly struck her head— Everyone was dumbfounded, they didn't even care about Yuan Mama who fainted on the ground, blood streaming from her face, and all eyes turned to Ye Wenyan. 。The old lady trembled and asked, “You, where did you get that ~stick” “I carry it with me!” she answered loudly, not hiding her annoyance at all, “It’s in my sleeve. Do you have a problem with that” The old lady was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Instead, Ye Lianmeng raised her voice and said, “A ~stick that long, you put it in your sleeve Are you trying to fool us, Ye Wenyan”Ye Wenyan nodded, “Yes, I’m trying to fool fools!” Ye Chulian sitting in the corner couldn't hold back any longer and let out a giggle. 。This is just talking nonsense to fool people, it's an indirect way of insulting the elderly lady as a fool. 。Ye Lianmian cried out in anger, "Ye Chu'lian, shut your mouth! There is no place for you to speak here!" Then, she directed her wrath at Liu Yiniang, "Take care of your illegitimate daughter!"Liu Yiniang and Ye Chu'lian were both frightened into silence. Ye Chu'lian even had tears welling up in her eyes. 。Yè Wēn Yán glanced at the mother and daughter, and said to himself: “Even my half-sister has no place to speak, let alone a slave girl. So I beat her with a stick~ it's not unjust. I consider it as setting rules for Old Madam.” 。"You—" Yet Lianmian didn't know what to say next, but she saw Xiao Shi glare at her fiercely, and then she fell silent. 。Mu looked on with displeasure. 。Although he was her own child, he was the most disobedient. Instead, he listened to his grandmother and aunt Xiao. 。Perhaps it's because she was raised by her grandmother, or maybe that's just her personality. 。Ye Qingmei was still standing in the middle of the hall. Xiao Shi saw that the old madam was so frightened by the seemingly dead Grandmother Yuan lying at the door that she couldn't express herself for a while. 。So I took over the conversation, lowering my posture and saying to Ye Wen, "My family is also worried about Qingmei. They're afraid she'll go astray. Their intentions are good after all." 。"Now that all the misunderstandings have been cleared up, then... then Auntie Two is representing the family to apologize to you, so you should forgive her this time, alright" Ye Wenyan turned his head to look at Xiao Shi, "Auntie Two, why should she apologize to me I wasn't the one who was hurt, it was my elder sister! If you are going to apologize, you should apologize to my elder sister!" 。"Shut up," Zuo Huo shoved Ye Qingmei forward, "Just admit it!"

Xiao's face flickered with a myriad of emotions as she stared at Ye Qingmei. But no matter how hard she struggled, the words of admission refused to leave her lips.

Mu waited for a while and saw that she didn't react. She opened her mouth and said, "Don't admit it, what's wrong with the family, just do official business." 。Let's still follow the old rules. I'll send my daughter to the temple and acknowledge her when she returns, making her a slave afterward. 。"Therefore, please have the house quickly take Third Miss to the pigsty for a dunking, to set things right in our household!"

“I admit it! I admit it right now!” Xiao shi was truly terrified. 。She dressed up in her finest attire for the night, a daughter of the house. Though she also had a son, their roles were vastly different. 。Isn't it just a matter of admitting a mistake It doesn't matter, as long as she can save her daughter, she can afford to lose some face. 。After some mental preparation, Xiao hurriedly said to Ye Qingmei: "Qingmei, this matter today is our family's fault, we misunderstood you, please don't take it to heart. 。Aunt knows you've always been a kind and forgiving child. This time, just forgive the family, okay Aunt apologizes to you and compensates you for it. 。" Ye Qingmei is indeed a very tolerant and generous person. She has a gentle temperament and never raises her voice to talk to others. For many things, she would rather suffer in silence than argue or fight with others. " 。Seeing how Xiao spoke, she naturally nodded. 。But after nodding, she felt a little guilty for always supporting her sister and was conflicted for a moment. 。Ye Wenyan was much more gentle towards Ye Qingmei. Seeing her embarrassment, he proactively reached out and took her hand. "Sister, let's sit down and talk." 。Since this one is flipped, let's move on to the next. 。"This caused both the old madam and Xiao Shi to tremble. Even Mu Shi didn't react in time to understand what the next item meant." 。She sat down with her two daughters and just as Ye Wen spoke again, "The next item should be for me to ask Grandmother and Second Aunt. How did the things in my elder sister's room end up in your hands I was planning to report it to the authorities these days because several things went missing from our house, such as the silver notes and jewelry in our room, and also the calligraphy and stationery in my elder brother's room..." 。"When I went for a stroll around the Duke of Su's mansion and came back, my home was like it had been robbed! I couldn't find anything!"

The old lady listened to this and snorted, "Those things have already been taken back by the mansion." 。"

"Taken back" she raised an eyebrow, "Why"

"Why" The old lady looked at her, with a face full of disgust, "Because those things belonged to the master. Now that the master has changed to your second uncle, naturally, the things in your house have been moved to your second uncle and aunt's house" 。"That's right!" Ye Wenyan nodded, "Then the things in Second Uncle and Second Aunt's house before, shouldn't they also be moved to our side Why did we only see ours being moved, but not theirs The courtyard is changed, the house is changed, how come only our things are taken back here, and they don't intend to change" she asked Xiao Shi, "Second Aunt is now making two profits, one from her own before, and one from ours. Isn't there something unreasonable about this"

"I..." Xiao Shi thought for a moment, then felt that Ye Wenyan's logic was very meticulous, and for a while she didn't know where to start to refute. >>> 。The old lady wasn't clueless, she was very aware. Because this matter was her doing. 。They only ever intended to steal from the main house and never considered returning anything. 。But now that Ye Wen had brought it up, she was a little caught off guard. 。 What should I say next How should this end Night Wenyan hooked his lips and looked at the two of them. After a while, seeing that neither of them spoke, he took the initiative and said: "Since you two have no idea, then let me handle it! We can forget about the past, but the house must be furnished according to the living standards of Second Uncle's family before. Now, I want all the rooms in our West Courtyard to be equipped with everything we need!" 。What my second aunt had before, my mother must have now. What night rouge has, my elder sister, younger sister, and I must also have. 。If my elder brother has something, I must also have it. 。"Do you have any objections"

Xiao's face grew even more unsightly. "Before, the things in my house weren't all provided by the mansion. Many were given to me by my natal family."

"

Ye Wenyan laughed, "Second Aunt's things in her room were given by her natal family Then General Fu is too shameless, not even giving the daughter-in-law decent furnishings, and she has to take them from her own family>>> 。This is going to be a laughing stock once it gets out! Where would Grandma even put her face 。The old madam glared at Xiao Shi with obvious displeasure, as if she found her speech inadequate. 。Thus, Xiao Shi changed her tactics: "That was my dowry when I married into the General's Manor back then." 。"A dowry!" Ye Wen said with a smile, "Then come on up, my mother has a dowry too." 。She asked Mu Shi, "Mother, where's your dowry"

Mu Shi snorted coldly, "My dowry was originally also kept in the East Courtyard. Because of your grandfather, the General's Mansion is large and prosperous, so it can't be greedy for a daughter-in-law's dowry..." 。So all our dowries were collected by ourselves and kept in our own courtyards. 。Unfortunately, the house was ransacked and everything was taken. 。She used the phrase "copy your home," which angered Old Madam so much that she was about to bang on the table again, but before she could, Ye Wenyan glared at her. Her heart skipped a beat and she didn't dare. 。"So remember, when you are replenishing things, replenish my mother's dowry as well." 。That's stuff brought from my family home. My mother remembers every single item perfectly, so please, you people in the manor, think carefully about it. If anyone dares to take even a single thing, don't blame me for turning cold and ruthless at night! 。“

Finally, the old madam spoke again. She stared at Ye Wenyan and asked, "What does it mean to be heartless when turning your face"

Ye Wenyan remained silent, only glancing at Yuan Mama lying at the door. The old madam didn't dare to ask any further. The matter of replenishing things was considered settled.” 。Thinking that was the end of it, I saw Ye Wenyan reach into his sleeve and pull out a few pages of paper after a while…To get the latest updates, please refresh the page after a moment.
