What Xue said was meaningless, and Ye Yuanzhou was confused when he heard it: "Mother, what on earth is going on?"
Mrs. Xue was not in the mood to elaborate, and said with a sullen face: "She dared to use your father to press me. I want to see if her thin arms can twist her thighs."
After saying that, he turned around and left angrily, as if he wanted to find someone to settle the score with.
Ye Yuanzhou secretly thought something was wrong and hurriedly chased after him.
As expected, Mrs. Xue went to Ye Qinglan's house with an angry look on her face. As soon as she entered the house, Mrs. Xue pointed at Ye Qinglan and cursed: "Okay, how dare you pretend to be sick to lie to me, and secretly wrote to your father.
I am writing a complaint. You are getting more and more courageous! Do you take me as a mother seriously? If I don’t teach you a lesson today, it will be hard to get rid of the bad breath in my heart!" As he said this, he raised his head high.
If you lift your hand, it will fall down hard.
Ruomei rushed forward with quick eyes and hands, and blocked the slap for Ye Qinglan.
With a crisp sound, Ruomei's face suddenly became red and swollen, and five finger prints appeared. In fact, with Ruomei's skills, it was easy to subdue Xue. At worst, she could pull Ye Qinglan away. But Xue was Ye Qinglan.
As the maid next to Ye Qinglan, if she really fought against the mistress, she would not be helping her master but getting into trouble for her. Therefore, she could only take this loud slap in the face on Ye Qinglan's behalf.
Ye Qinglan took a breath, her eyes ignited with unprecedented anger, and her voice was strong: "I don't know what my daughter did wrong to make her mother so angry." If she was the one who was beaten, she would never do it.
She would be so angry. But now it was Ruomei who suffered on her behalf. How could this not make her angry?
Mrs. Xue sneered and threw the letter in her hand in front of Ye Qinglan: "You have done such a good thing, but you still have the nerve to ask me! Let me ask you, how did your father know that Mrs. Ma invited us to be guests?"
The angrier Ye Qinglan became, the calmer his face became: "It's true that I wrote to my father, telling him that my mother wanted to betroth me to a sick man who lay in bed all day long and drank medicine, and she even wanted to bring me to her house.
Go and show your love to others. By then, everyone in the capital will know that the old man and his wife in the third room of Changyuan Uncle Mansion, in order to please Mrs. Ma, will push their good daughter into the pit of fire. Let our Changyuan Uncle Mansion become the capital of the whole capital.
The laughing stock makes my father unable to hold his head high in front of relatives and friends in the future. All this is just because my mother cannot tolerate my daughter, who is a concubine..."
Every word is like a sharp knife, stabbing straight into Xue's chest.
Ye Qinglan was already very articulate and well-spoken. She tried her best to keep a low profile on weekdays, just because she didn't want to face Mr. Xue, so as not to get into trouble. But this time, she was really angry. She spoke sharper and meaner than ever before.
Xue was so angry that she almost couldn't breathe, and raised her hand again without thinking.
Ruomei gritted her teeth secretly, and was about to puff up her chest and get a slap in the face, but unexpectedly, Ye Yuanzhou moved faster and grabbed Xue's arm with clear eyesight: "Mother, calm down first. If you have anything to say, speak slowly."
With such a thunderous slap, Ye Qinglan's delicate little face would have been swollen immediately.
Mrs. Xue was already angry when she saw that Ye Yuanzhou actually stopped her for Ye Qinglan. She felt even more annoyed and glared at Ye Yuanzhou fiercely: "Let me go! If you dare to protect this stinky girl again, I'll beat you up too!"
"
However, Ye Yuanzhou refused to give in and said proudly: "If mother is really angry, then hit me! Third sister is sick and has weak bones, so she must not be beaten."
Xue was angry, annoyed and resentful, so he raised his hand and hit him. Ye Yuanzhou refused to hide and looked at Xue firmly. Xue's hand had already reached his face, but he stopped in his tracks after all.
This is her most beloved son. How can she survive the fight?
Ye Qinglan didn't appreciate it at all, and said coldly: "Get out of the way. If it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't target me like this. Why do you have to be this fake good person now!"
Xue's dislike of Ye Qinglan was mostly due to Ye Yuanzhou. The instigator now looks like a flower protector, which is simply a great irony.
Ye Yuanzhou felt a faint pain in his heart because of Ye Qinglan's cold and sharp words. He smiled bitterly and sighed: "Third sister, it's my fault. If you want to blame, blame me. I will never say another word."
Ye Qinglan's attitude was colder than ever: "If I hadn't noticed in advance this time, my life-long event would have been promised like child's play. If I were to marry a sick and consumptive ghost who would not live long, I would probably be married in a few years.
I'm a widow. What's wrong with me writing to my father? Should I just obey my mother's arrangements without saying a word and risk all my life's happiness to be considered filial?"
Ye Yuanzhou was speechless.
Mrs.
Are you having a bad temper? I'll put it here today. This marriage is promised to me. It doesn't matter if your father doesn't agree. He is far away in Zhengzhou and is out of reach. I will take you to Shangshu Mansion in two days. As long as Mrs. Ma and
Lu Shangshu has fallen in love with you, so I sent someone to send Geng Tie there. By the time your father comes back, the deal has already been settled. I don’t believe it anymore. Is it possible that your father will go to Shangshu Mansion to cancel the engagement for you?"
...This move is indeed extremely cruel!
It is certainly shameful to betroth your daughter to a sick man, but it is even more inappropriate to break off the engagement. The face of the two families is involved. Ye Chengli is right to have some pity for her daughter, but this pity will never be big.
To the point of not caring about the face of the two houses. If Xue really wanted to kill him first and then show off, it would be really bad!
However, Ye Qinglan did not give in timidly, and responded with a sneer: "I can't believe that my mother would risk quarreling and breaking up with my father for me." If Xue really did this, it was inevitable that Ye Chengli would be furious.
"Your father's anger is only temporary. At most, you can have a quarrel with me and have a cold war for a few days, and things will get better as time goes by." Of course, Xue was not a fuel-efficient person, and immediately responded sarcastically: "You don't have to worry about it*
*If you are worried about such trivial matters, it is better to think about what to wear tomorrow. Madam Ma's invitation has been sent, and I will take you to the Shangshu Mansion tomorrow."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone present was shocked.
Ye Yuanzhou immediately interceded for Ye Qinglan: "Mother, third sister is still ill. It won't be too late to go to Shangshu Mansion after she recovers..." His mood at the moment was contradictory and subtle. He vaguely hoped that this marriage would come true, but also felt distressed.
The humiliation that Ye Qinglan was about to suffer was so complicated that it was impossible to describe it in words.
"Shut up!" Mrs. Xue glared at him with hatred: "If you are still my son, you are not allowed to say anything anymore. Just stand aside!"
Ye Yuanzhou did not dare to disobey Xue, but he also refused to move. He still stood stiffly between Xue and Ye Qinglan.
Ruomei stood beside Ye Qinglan, watching the stormy confrontation, and the subtle and weird feeling in her heart became more and more obvious.
Xue's unusually obvious hostility, Ye Yuanzhou's unusual defense, and Ye Qinglan's angry sarcastic words all revealed a strange feeling. An incredible answer floated in my mind...
Ruomei couldn't help but gasp, her eyes filled with shock.
No wonder the young master oversells her talent and sends her to be an ordinary maid next to the young lady. It turns out that there is such a danger around the young lady. A slight mistake can lead to a scandal that will ruin her reputation and ruin her whole life...
Because of Ye Yuanzhou's persistence, the situation was at a stalemate for a while.
Mrs.
It would be really bad if Ye Yuanzhou's unfaithful feelings toward Ye Qinglan were discovered!
"Stay back first!" Ms. Xue couldn't remember the name of this maid at the moment: "You are not allowed to come in without my order."
At this time, Ruomei showed a calmness and composure that was different from that of ordinary maids: "Reporting to Madam, the young lady is still ill and cannot be without someone to take care of her."
How could she trust Ye Qinglan to face the mother and son alone? No matter how powerful Ye Qinglan was, she was just a fragile girl. If Mrs. Xue used violence like before, how could Ye Qinglan be her opponent?
Mrs.
Send for Ya Po, we can't tolerate a maid like you in our house."
Ruomei replied in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Replying to my wife, I am not a maid from the Changyuan uncle's house, and the deed of sale is not in my hands. I am from the Duke Dingguo's house. If I have done anything wrong, please send someone to Dingguo."
If the government says something, someone will naturally release the slave."
Want to sell her? I'm sorry, but her deed of sale is in the hands of the young master.
Ms. Xue was choked and couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, she gritted her teeth and asked Ye Qinglan: "What is going on with this maid? Didn't Gu Xiyu give it to you?"
When Ye Qinglan came back from Duke Dingguo's mansion that day, a maid suddenly appeared beside her. Of course Mr. Xue asked about her origins. Ye Qinglan only vaguely said that it was the maid given to him by Gu Xiyu, so Mr. Xue didn't take it to heart.
I didn't expect to be choked so badly today.
In this short period of time, Ye Qinglan had calmed down a lot and responded calmly: "Ruomei is indeed the maid given to me by cousin Xiyu, but the contract of sale is still with cousin Xiyu." (To be continued.)
