ery delicious. 。She was on good terms with Jiang Wanting, and Mrs. Jiang was also friends with Mu Shi. Even Jiang Shangshu had a good relationship with Ye Dayan. 。Therefore, the two families were ve...Ye Wenyan took Granny Ji and Zhuier to the front courtyard in a hurry. Xiangdong, as usual, stayed behind to look after the house. 。After walking for a while, they saw Ye Qingmei and her maidservant Rui Zhu, who were also running almost the whole way. 。Night Qingmei, despite being the older sister, acted as if she had found her pillar of support when she saw Ye Wenyan. She immediately ran over and took her hand, asking urgently, "A-Yan, do you know what happened to Big Brother" Ye Wenyan shook her head, "I don't know, only that it has something to do with the Yu family. The specifics are still unclear." 。Let's go, big sister. Let's hurry to the Xuming Hall. Everything will become clear once we get there. 。The two sisters started running again, quickly reaching the front yard. They even saw Ye Lianmeng arrive there before them. 。Seeing the two of them rushing over in such a hurry, Ye Lianmian snorted coldly, "What are you rushing for Aren't you afraid of tripping and falling" 。The person is dirty and rude, they never make sense when someone comes to them. 。"Humph, the esteemed young master of the Ye family, who usually appears dignified and courteous, is actually such a person behind his back! To do such a thing, it's simply disgraceful! He's going to shame the Ye family!" Ye Wenmei was anxious and rushed forward, grabbing Ye Lianmian and demanding, "What do you mean by that Explain yourself clearly!"Ye Lianmian forcefully shook her off. "What are you grabbing me for It wasn't me who made him do it. Are you crazy, Ye Qingmei You all are crazy! Why are you all coming at me What does this have to do with me" Ye Wenyan stepped forward and gently patted Ye Qingmei, "Let's go to the Xuming Hall, everything will be clear there. Asking her here is useless. It's so noisy and it hurts my head." 。Ye Qingmei heard her words and loosened the long, flowing nightgown. She was so anxious that she didn't even bother to wait for Ye Wenyan, lifted her skirt and ran towards the Xuming Hall. 。Night Lian Mian was also anxious to see the commotion, so he hurriedly followed behind. As for Night Wen Yan, he lagged behind. 。In the Mingtang, all the people who were supposed to be there had arrived, including the old lady and the second wife's family. 。People who shouldn't have arrived also came, such as a girl of thirteen or fourteen, two maidservants, and a man in his thirties with a woman who was stunningly beautiful. 。The girl was wrapped in a blanket, soaked through. Her hair was disheveled, her dress torn. She was dabbing at her eyes with tears. 。The couple on the side stood their ground and sternly told Mu: “We know that your family is surnamed Shangguan, and our elder sister was a high-marriage. But if you look down on us, just be straightforward. There's no need to do such dirty things to humiliate us.” 。"I've ordered one elder sister is not enough, I want to harm another younger sister as well. This child Butterfly is only thirteen this year, are you still human beings" Mu shi glared at the couple in front of her with a cold face, "Have something to say properly, this is the residence of a First Rank General, it's not a place where you come up and shout! If you have reason, state it clearly and calmly." 。If you keep causing trouble, just go back to your home and stir things up there. No one here cares about your antics. 。Moreover, the betrothal with the Yu family was to their eldest legitimate daughter. The only person from the Yu family who could speak with me freely would be their mistress of the household. 。You, a concubine, have the face to come knocking at my door in the middle of the night What qualifications do you have to speak to me” Mu's words were harsh enough. The delicate beauty felt even more wronged after this scolding and directly threw herself into her husband's arms, wiping tears while saying: "I know I am lowly born, and I also know that you always look down on people like us from official families..." 。If your young master doesn't want to acknowledge this, then we can only swallow our grievances and say nothing. 。The problem is, your family and our Yu family are related by marriage! We've already gone through all five rites of engagement. All that's left is the final wedding ceremony. This is a matter of close family ties. If we hide something like this, what if it gets exposed in the future It would be a scandal, and your eldest sister and mistress's reputations would be ruined. 。Besides, if the young master of the Ye family has this intention, he will surely not let it go in the future. 。If he persists, both families will lose face. 。“So the Yu family is here to cause trouble and slander my brother for being disrespectful to their illegitimate sister,” Ye Wen said after listening to the story at the door. 。Right now, it is so-called "people dirty and gain," with the whole family mobilizing to come and attack. 。“I'm so mad! It’s true, she came here to cause trouble. She must be slandering me!” 。"How could our young master, such a good person, possibly do such a thing" Ye Wenyan nodded, thought for a moment, and instructed Zhuier: "You go to the Minister of Punishment's residence and bring Elder Sister Jiang here." 。"

Zhui'er pursed her lips, "Sister, it's past midnight. Will the Jiang family let anyone out"

She added, "I just need to see her urgently. Tomorrow I will definitely go in person to apologize to Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang. Go!"

Zhui'er left, but she still didn't go inside the hall. She leaned against the door frame and looked... " 。After a while, Ye Chulian and Liu shi also arrived. Seeing her like this, they didn't go inside, but stood beside her and watched together. 。Mrs. Mu was trembling with anger at the moment, especially when she heard the concubine repeatedly call her son "frivolous" and "whoever." 。She pointed at the concubine: “I know my own son. He can do anything, but he can’t do this.” 。"You all keep saying how my son treated your illegitimate daughter this way and that, but it's just one-sided words!" "Lady Ye's meaning is...to confront them in court" Master Yu interjected. "One can't rely on hearsay; we need to gather multiple testimonies." 。Sure! Many people have seen it! Our family can definitely report this, after all, the one being bullied is just a commoner daughter. At worst, we'll make a big fuss and send her to the temple outside the city as a nun. 。The reason I didn't do that was because of face, I spared them out of respect for the Ye family. This is why I came here to close the door and discuss matters. 。"Lady Ye, don't be ungrateful!" Mu shi took a deep breath, "How do you intend to negotiate And what kind of result are you hoping for""It's very simple!" The concubine spoke again, her eyes brimming with tears, looking pitifully... 。But if it came out, she wouldn't be pitiable at all——“Since the young master has this heart for our butterfly, why not marry both of us!”

"Don't be ridiculous!" Mrs. Mu shouted angrily——"Just ridiculous! Are you trying to slander my son and have this in mind Well, your Yu family is really something!" She said, turning sharply to the old lady, "Is this what you called a reputable family back then Is this the person you forced my husband to choose for our child"

The old lady was stunned by her roar, and she was extremely embarrassed in front of outsiders. At that moment, she wanted to retort, but Mrs. Mu had already stopped paying attention to her and turned back to the Yu family couple: "How do you think this would look to the legitimate wife"

The concubine: “Don't worry about how she looks” 。Mu asked again, "What about the elder sister" "The elder sister can't control that many things either!" Yu Jiafei said with a self-evident air, "We are not competing for the mistress position, we are just concubines. The elder sister can't control men taking concubines! Besides, this is for her own good. Men always need three wives and four concubines. It's better to take in her own flesh and blood sister than an outsider later on. In the future, the two sisters will still have each other to rely on." 。"Are you still human" Ye Feiyu, kneeling in the middle of the hall, couldn't take it anymore and said angrily, "I am innocent and have never had anything to do with your younger sister. I haven't done anything improper at all. Please don't slander me and don't force strange people on me!"He stared at Lord Yu, his face filled with anger, "Although I kneel here tonight, it is only because my elders told me to. I cannot disobey them. I kneel, so I kneel." 。But I really don't understand what you Yu family are thinking. At this late hour, you send a maid to ask my sister Xuánjī for help, and the situation was rather awkward. I had no choice but to come and lend a hand. 。At that time, since the scene was embarrassing, I should have sought help from my family rather than from me, my fiancé. 。My family is currently in mourning, so my wedding will have to be postponed for two or three years. It's simply not appropriate for me to show my face at this time, neither emotionally nor logically speaking. 。The maid pleaded earnestly, "Sister Xiongji is indeed the legitimate daughter, but there are many concubines in the household. Anything she does will be magnified and twisted into something bad. Who knows what terrible things they might say about her then" 。" He looked at the concubine while muttering, then snorted coldly, "Although our family is betrothed to the Yu family, it was all decided by my grandmother and father. We don't know anything about them." 。So at the time I heard that maid say how the concubine in the household was being treated as the legitimate daughter and was mistreated, I didn't quite believe it, but now I fully do. 。"This is more than just the eldest daughter being bullied; I'm afraid even the mistress of the house isn't having a good time! Lord Yu is truly something else!"

Night Feiyu rarely spoke like this, but it's clear she's genuinely angry. 。He continued: "The maid saw that I was still hesitating, so she told me the story of how Sister Xuenji accidentally fell into a pond in the inner city. Although people fished her out, she had a fever." 。They didn't have a carriage, and they didn't dare to hire one, so they could only ask me for help. 。If I don't say anything, people will probably get out of control. 。She didn't ask for anything else, just begged me to hurry and send a carriage to take Sister Xuánjī to the clinic. 。Along the way, we should try our best to avoid being seen. If we absolutely can't, my fiance and I are already engaged, having completed all five ceremonies of betrothal. So it wouldn't be too embarrassing for us. 。As soon as I heard about it, I knew someone had fallen into the water. Driven by my desire to save a life, I rushed over in a carriage. 。To their surprise, upon arriving at the location, they discovered that it wasn't Xiongui who had fallen into the water, but this unfamiliar girl whom I had never met nor heard of before!Ye Feiyu's eyes were filled with anger and disgust, and when she looked at her younger sister, there was even hatred. 。“Such a good girl, upon seeing me she rushed into my arms and even pulled her clothes down herself. What kind of decent woman behaves like you Don't blame me for being harsh, at the time I thought I had encountered a courtesan from a brothel outside the city who had drunk too much and hadn't returned in time. I never expected it to be Yu Jia's younger sister.” 。The Yu Mansion is also an official residence, how could officials raise such a child Is it the child's fault, or the parents'e told her everything in detail. 。Feng Zhaolian had no objection to this, and she even worried that Quan Qingcheng would feel embarrassed to make the move and compensate too little. 。After learning t...
