C11 She Caused a Lot of Trouble

When they returned to the Ye Residence, lanterns were already hung on the main door of the Ye Residence, illuminating the pedestrians who were coming and going through the dark.

Looking at the two big characters on the door plaque of the Ye Residence, Fei Qing frowned, "I wonder how Concubine Qiao will make a fuss later. This time, she failed to steal the chicken and got herself into trouble. Did she fail to plot against the young miss or did she lose her daughter? She can't get out of it in one breath. She must be so aggrieved that she might even slander the young miss and the madam in front of the old mistress."

"Aunt is just an aunt. Grandmother won't favor her." Ye Yuning patted Fei Qing's hand and smiled, "If this matter is investigated, Grandmother will definitely be angry. If she really is a good-for-nothing, then she will make a fool of herself." After thinking for a while, Ye Yuning still left a path for herself, "If she really does that, Fei Xiu, send a letter to the Cloud State. Yi Zu will definitely come out."

Yi Zu Li Yanqing, who was once the emperor's tutor, had retired from the imperial court. However, the current emperor still had to call him teacher. The scholar, farmer, artisan, and merchant were the last. Li Yanqing had been in the court for a few years, so he was much more powerful than the ordinary Ye Residence. It was not a problem for him to force his granddaughter to marry.

Fei Xiu nodded and agreed.

Lady Wen, who was walking in front, did not directly return to the garden. Instead, she went to the side of her grandmother and the old mistress. Without much thought, it was certain that the concubine Qiao was crying right now.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw the old mistress sitting in the middle of the hall. Ye Yuchu was helping her to knock her back. The concubine Qiao was standing on the right side of the hall, crying. Ye Yujiao was not there.

Ye Yuning stood behind Lady Wen and silently watched the situation.

"Today, my daughter and I went to the Lu Residence to admire the flowers with the concubine Qiao. Before we went to the garden, Yujiao disappeared. Later, when the servant heard Lady Lu's order to go to the flower room to move the flowers, he saw the scene of Yujiao and Li Changle getting together." Lady Wen's attitude was respectful and distant as she gave a summary of what happened today. "At that time, the situation was urgent. If it was not resolved immediately, Lady Lu would send Yujiao and Li Changle to the government. So, my daughter took the initiative to take Yujiao and Li Changle away.

"The marriage has been decided."

When the old mistress heard this, she did not say anything. She reached out her hand and patted her left shoulder, telling Ye Yuchu to change places.

When the concubine Qiao saw the old mistress like this, she suddenly felt a sense of confidence. She stepped forward and questioned Lady Wen, "First Wife, I am Yujiao's biological mother. You are not my second wife's mother. What right do you have to decide Yujiao's marriage!"

"How can that be?" Ye Yuning raised her head and asked in a strange voice, "The Ye Residence has always respected the eldest son. Under such an urgent occasion, how can we decide? We should ask the legal wife. Moreover, my mother is Yujiao's sister's aunt. Under the circumstances that Second Aunt is not here, how can I not care about this matter? How can I not be the one who decides? Could it be that the aunt's meaning is that the aunt is more honorable than the legal wife and can surpass the wife?"

Ye Yuning snatched the microphone and asked a series of questions, knocking a huge hat on Concubine Qiao's head, catching her off guard.

This was what Ye Yuning wanted. Lady Wen had always been in a bad condition. After giving birth to her, she could not risk giving birth again. As a result, she did not have any other children. Because of Lady Wen, the old mistress did not like Ye Yuning at all. She also disliked Ye Yuning for not being her son. She did not even like the two of them.

However, because Lady Wen's father was an imperial merchant, it was rumored that he had left a large amount of wealth for Lady Wen. The madame was skeptical about this rumor and was wary of Lady Wen and her. So, no matter how much she disliked Lady Wen, she would not show her dislike for Ye Yuning too obvious.

In her previous life, she was not close to this grandmother of the Ye Residence. In fact, she even hated her because of what happened later. After she was reborn, she thought about it and relied on the rumors she heard in her previous life to guess at this grandmother. However, she could not figure out what attitude she would have towards the fight between the eldest and the second eldest.

Now that the power was in her hands, she could better deal with her grandmother's attitude and thoughts.

"Then how can I not ask Ye Yujiao's opinion? Ask Ye Yujiao if she wants to marry Li Changle as her stepmother?" Concubine Qiao avoided the main topic and brought the topic to Ye Yujiao.

The third young miss of the Ye Residence never went out. She had only seen her avoid the crowd and was timid and cowardly, not daring to talk to others.

She thought that she was a good soft persimmon, but after interacting with her for two days, she found out that she was actually hiding a needle in her soft skin!

"At that time, Yujiao had already fainted. You asked?" Lady Wen snorted, "If you really had the heart to refuse, you should have immediately stood out and let Lady Lu send Yujiao and Li Changle to the government!"

"The one who was raped was not Yujing, of course you are talking sarcastically here!" Seeing that the old mistress still did not speak, the concubine Qiao went against Lady Wen, "I clearly saw that when Yujiao got out of the carriage, her clothes were made of fine silk. How could it have turned into purple cloud cross? Yujiao definitely didn't want to be the stepmother, so she harmed her own sister and refused the marriage!"

Ye Yuning pursed her lips. She felt bored when the concubine Qiao used this reason twice. She did not want to be the stepmother, so she used this trick, but if the concubine Qiao did not plot against her, how could she have used the same trick on her?

Now that she had suffered a huge loss, she had become a thief.

"No matter if it's Grandmother or Yi Zu, they have always been very good to me, but they have never used fine silk on me." Ye Yuning sighed and said helplessly to the concubine Qiao, "Whenever the silk is made, there is a fixed use and grade. I have never used anything other than purple cloud cross or silk."

"Lady Wen, I have never treated you inappropriately in the past, but recently, you have repeatedly framed Yujiao and even tried to harm your eldest sister. If it wasn't for the young master of the Shen family stopping Yujiao's actions, Yujiao would have to enter the ancestral hall and be punished before marrying Li Changle!" Lady Wen glanced at Concubine Qiao indifferently. Her words were sharp.

"Young Master Shen of the Shen family? Which Shen family?" In the long string of words, the old mistress did not notice the other words, but she did notice these few words.

"It is the young master of the Chang'an minister, Shen Yunxing." Lady Wen said to the old mistress, "Yujiao's words were filthy today. She insulted Yu Ning and disrespected her eldest sister. If Young Master Shen didn't block Yujiao with his hand, Yu Ning would have been bleeding."

"That's it." The old mistress nodded, "I understand what happened today."
