r nothing."He stared at the bell for a long while, then reached out to take it. “Ye Wenyan, you and I are even!”A red shadow flashed, and the person had vanished.Ye Wen reached forward, grasping at th...Old Madam punished Ye Chulian to kneel through the night, and naturally her maid, Suixi, also knelt with her.

From noon until it was dark, she knelt in front of the temporary residence where her grandmother stayed. Only then did she see her grandmother along with Ye Xinghe and Xiao Sh beyaz slowly approaching to comfort her. 。As soon as the old lady settled herself on the main seat, she felt that this room was simply too lacking in grandeur. There wasn't even a floor paved with gold bricks! 。Then, she instructed Ye Jie Sheng: "You must hurry to repair the mansion. Now that you are the head of the family, you should hire people and spend money as needed to quickly fix the damaged house. I can't stay here with you forever." 。" Night view Sheng's injuries hadn't healed yet. The whip didn't cause much harm, it was just the shoulder that was more troublesome, oozing blood from time to time, and he had a slight fever at night. 。Of course, he wasn't the only one. Xiao Shi, Ye Fei Zhou, and Xi Chun were all like this too. 。He felt a bit irritable when he heard the old mistress urge him to repair the mansion. Thinking that he was sick, why did she have to ask him to do this But when the old mistress mentioned that he was the head of the family again, he didn't say anything. 。The boss is gone, Mu Qianqiu is no longer the mistress, who else would do this But relying on the leader is still possible, for example, Xiao Shuwai. 。Then he turned and shouted at Xiao Shubi: "Hear me, you are the mistress now, don't just lie in the house all day long. You should do what needs to be done!" Xiao Shubi endured it again and again, but still nodded, "I know." 。"In the past, a scene like this would never have happened between Xiaos and General Ye. This is because he came from the second branch of the family. When the old General was alive, he didn't favor the second branch. While he wasn't completely ignoring them, his care for them was simply at the bare minimum." 。So he had to rely on the Xiao family of Ningguo Hou Mansion to save face, and he also wanted to use Ye Hongzhuang, who was born to the Xiao clan, to create a future for himself. 。So back then, the Xiao family truly held power in front of Ye Shangmian. This can be seen from how Xiao never allowed Ye Shangmian to take Liu Yan as a concubine all these years. 。

Unfortunately, that's not possible now. The night view has become the head of the household, and Ye Hongzhuang followed the hopeless Sixth Prince. The Xiao family's only good card was ruined.

Moreover, with a bizarre son thrown into the mix, and the despairing words spoken during those days locked away in Chih-hua Pavilion, it left her with almost no face to show when confronted by the moonlit night. 。So she had to lower her head, to suppress her own strength, not wanting to provoke the new head of the family at this time. 。Luckily, the old madam was still on her side. After the banquet ended, the old madam continued, "Jing Sheng is right, Shu Bai, you are the mistress of this house, and you should be more concerned. This way, it shows that you are the mistress of this house, and it will also remind everyone in the house who is now in charge. 。"Do you understand"

Xiao Sh beyaz immediately bowed to the old madam: "My daughter-in-law understands. I will arrange for the repairs of the manor tomorrow." 。 The old lady was finally satisfied, but as soon as she glanced at Ye Chulian kneeling below, her anger flared up again: "With the state of things in our family, you can't help, and you still make things worse Listen to what people outside are saying. The inner city is your foundation. You follow that Ye Wenyan to help people in the outer city. What do you expect them to give you Do you think you can marry into the outer city or live there Will you rely on those commoners from the outer city for a future" The old lady was getting angrier and angrier, "I really don't understand why you barely associate with those children in the main house. Why did you follow her this time And even your second brother followed her Did she drug you both Don't you see what the state of our family is Didn't you hear that your grandmother was almost crushed to death under the rubble It's been so many days, and I'm still in pain all over. Where were you during this time I raised you for nothing, and in the end, I couldn't even get a word of concern. You did this, how can our family ever hope anything from you" Ye Chulian didn't say a word. She just endured the old lady's scolding and cursing. The previous timidness was gone. She knelt straight, her gaze fixed on the gray bricks on the floor. She looked like a statue. 。The old lady was truly furious looking at her, but she couldn't get too angry because there weren't many people on the second branch they could rely on besides Ye Chulian. 。This illegitimate daughter is not only beautiful, but also well-proportioned. She must be kept, even if it's just to test the waters. We need a stone for that, don't we 。Then she stopped scolding Ye Chu Lian and turned to Xiao Shi, saying: “She may be a concubine's daughter, but she is still a member of the Ye family.” 。As the mistress of the household, you have a duty to teach her well and raise her as your own daughter. 。Once you always wanted to be the mistress of the house, now that you've become one, you should act like it. 。First, jealousy is unacceptable, and treating a daughter born out of wedlock as if she were not one's own child is also unacceptable. 。Look at the mansions outside. Even though they fight tooth and nail behind closed doors, which mistress dares to mistreat the illegitimate children openly Which mistress dares to stop a man from taking a concubine That would be scandalous. Word would get around, and their reputations would be ruined. 。"

Madam was like that. Even with such a magnificent night scene, Ye Xing also coldly snorted and glared at Xiao Sh beyaz." 。Xiao knew she had gone too far in this matter. In the past, as she was not the mistress of the house, the second family kept to themselves. She thought that this would be how life went on forever, and no one would care how she acted. This made her obsessed with being the only one in her husband's eyes and heart. She constantly looked at Liu Yan and her mother, finding them displeasing in every way. 。Now she's the mistress of the house, so her outlook can't be the same as before. 。This is her fault, the old lady's scolding was right. 。Then she immediately got up and knelt down: "Daughter-in-law is ashamed. In the past, there were many things I did not do well, losing the status of mistress of the house." 。Thank you, Mother, for your teachings. In the future, your daughter-in-law will definitely repent and change her ways. Please rest assured, Mother and Grandfather. 。“ The old lady nodded and glanced at Ye Cheng. 。She hoped that Ye Jian would give the Xiao family a way out, but Ye Jian just snorted coldly and said nothing. She had no choice but to help the Xiao family up herself. 。Xiao's heart turned cold, but she didn't have the heart to worry about her marital feelings. She had something on her mind that she couldn't let go of, and this was a good opportunity to ask her mother, "Mother, can this matter be settled this time Although my sister-in-law released us from Qihuaguan, Fourth Miss has also returned. What if she...""If you're afraid of what ifs, just give her an explanation and shut her up, wouldn't that be the end of it!" The old lady snorted, "Logically speaking, she shouldn't make a fuss anymore, after all, she herself insisted that nothing happened on the 15th of last month, and she kept emphasizing that she lived in the mansion. She even fabricated a delusion for me, making me almost think I was really having delusions..." 。This makes sense logically, but that night Wen Yan never acted logically, so you guys still have to explain. 。"How do you explain it" Ye Xing asked, "With her temper, what explanation could possibly shut her up" The old Madam remained silent. 。Ye Chu Lian was still kneeling, but it seemed like the elders' words had nothing to do with her anymore. 。After a long while, she heard the old lady say: "This matter wasn't done by you two. You only took the children to the temple, as for what happened on the way and what happened there, it has nothing to do with you." 。"Xiao shi remained silent for a while, then asked, “Mother's meaning is…”"The old woman means to give her an explanation and let her let you off! Don't you understand this As for what this explanation is, what else could it be Can she just apologize with a few casual words Whoever did it should go and take the blame. Let her vent her anger, wouldn't that be over The important thing is to get you two out of this, understand""But Fei Zhou...he is our son, after all, our only son..." 。"Xiao understood the old woman's meaning. This was to let Ye Fei Zhou take the blame." 。Although she had thought about it when she was at Qihua Pavilion, it was one thing to think about it and another for the old lady to bring it up. 。"Mother, is there no other way"

"What other way could you possibly have" The old lady snorted again. "If there were any other way, you wouldn't be coming to ask me..." 。Life is all about making choices. If you can't let go of him, you have to be willing to let go of yourself and your husband too. 。Are you willing to stand before Ye Wenyan and take the blame yourself Listen to this old woman, your son is useless. He can't carry on the Ye family line, nor can he support a future general's mansion. 。"Useless, it's good for nothing!"

Ye Chulian felt that when the old lady said these words, it was like treating an object. It was kept when it was useful, and discarded when it was not, without any attachment, let alone pity. 。She was a concubine's daughter, and she had gotten used to it. She didn't expect the legitimate son to be treated this way either. This made her heart suddenly feel much better. 。A smile unconsciously flickered across her face when she felt a warmth in her heart. This, however, was noticed by the old matriarch who immediately questioned, “Why are you smiling Our family doesn't raise useless people. Whoever is useless, will be abandoned!”Night Chu Lian then asked, “So you’re going to abandon Second Brother Is he useless”No one answered her question. The old matriarch merely snorted coldly and went back to talking with Ye Cheng. 。She asked Ye Jing Sheng: "What do you think"

Ye Jing Sheng: "Better than nothing, even if it doesn't work out, he's at least a man with..." 。"When it's gone, just grow a new one. This thing with the handle is useless!" The old lady was a bit angry and glared fiercely at Xiao Shi. 。The Xiao family was already a bit feverish. Being glared at by her like that made her feel stifled in her heart, and she started coughing. 。Her sickly appearance made the old lady even more displeased, but no matter how unhappy she was, she still wanted to continue protecting Xiao's family. 。After all, this household needs someone to stand with her. Besides, the Ningguo Duke's mansion is also a real help. Xiao Shubi should still gather allies, and it's not time for them to turn against each other yet...horoughly, they would stop and with a friendly face, say to the family, "It's cold at night, and if you really have nowhere to stay, you can come to our Li family." 。Our house is pretty good, it can a...
