Sure enough, Zhong Lingyu's reaction was as she expected, and she immediately became angry, and immediately asked, "Mrs. Ye!" You could have promised my father that I would not have a concubine until I got married, and that the concubine would not be allowed to have a child until I had no son for three years after I got married. How can you go back on your word? Isn't it too much to break the contract just after my father died?! ”

Zhong Lingyu was enraged, but Mrs. Ye was not angry, she leisurely picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "The situation has changed, who knows that you can't get married on time?" Our family has been passed down for several generations, but you can't delay the opening of branches and leaves because of you, right? If you think your father is underground, he can't say anything. ”

If Zhong Lingyu didn't want to quit this family, she would naturally have another rhetoric, but now that the situation was completely controlled by her, she naturally had to pick words that poked Mrs. Ye's heart, so that she could take advantage of the victory to pursue.

She raised her head and asked with a look of ignorance: "But at the beginning, Mrs. Ye was not allowed to take a concubine, right?" Not to mention giving birth to a concubine. Wasn't you afraid of delaying the Ye family's branches? ”

Mrs. Ye also knew that this matter was contrary to common sense, and it was extremely unpleasant to say, so this was her rebellion.

There was once a lady of a merchant in the city who said this, she was very angry, and she didn't care that the family was in the lacquerware business, and the Ye family was not involved, and she didn't care about the cost, she directly opened a big lacquerware shop, and cut off the business list of others. That family couldn't do it, thinking that he couldn't afford to hide if he couldn't be provoked, he closed the lacquerware shop and spent money to reopen a bookstore, but Mrs. Ye opened a bigger bookstore next to someone's store, which forced the old man to beg for mercy, and took his wife to Ye's house to admit his mistake, and Mrs. Ye let them go. But after this incident, the vitality of the family was greatly damaged, and the middle-class rich family fell directly to the situation of small merchants.

After this incident, the ladies in the city no longer dared to talk about it, even behind their backs.

Now, Mrs. Ye's future daughter-in-law dared to question her in front of her. Mrs. Ye felt that this little girl was worthy of being a brain circuit, which was completely unreasonable.

Originally, Mrs. Ye thought that she would not be angry with such an abnormal person, but Zhong Lingyu opened the most painful place in her face like this, which still made her angry blood gush upward, and the green tendons on her face were about to bulge.

"Ma'am, are you alright?" Her personal maid knew that Mrs. Ye couldn't mention this, so she paid attention to Mrs. Ye when Zhong Lingyu said that. At this time, seeing that Mrs. Ye's face was wrong, she hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to massage her temples vigorously, while the other maid rubbed her chest hard.

Mrs. Ye also knew that she was wrong, so she hurriedly took a few deep breaths back and forth, and desperately told herself to calm down. After a while, she felt better and breathed better.

She waved her hand at the maid and said in a dumb voice, "Okay." ”

The maid stopped at this time, but when she left Mrs. Ye's side, she glared at Zhong Lingyu with her eyes.

Zhong Lingyu was also taken aback. Mrs. Ye's health has always been very good, which is why she dared to stimulate Mrs. Ye with these words. It's just that she didn't expect Mrs. Ye's reaction to these words to be so big.

After Mrs. Ye felt that her whole body was fine, she stood up and said to Zhong Lingyu, "This matter is not discussed. Or, the two of us will negotiate to return the family affairs? Otherwise, when you get married, those concubines and concubines will call you mother. ”

Saying that, she turned around and left, she had already made up her mind in her heart, no matter what kind of reply Zhong Lingyu had, and no matter whether Ye Xiaoqing objected or not, she must retreat from this family business.

She wants to live a few more years!

Zhong Lingyu stood up and sent him off. It wasn't until Mrs. Ye and the maids disappeared at the door, and after waiting for a while, she said, "Let's go." "Be the first to walk towards the door.

got into the carriage, and it wasn't until she sat down that Zhong Lingyu noticed that there was something wrong with the mood of Chunli and Xiaogu, and they both looked at her with their eyes, their eyes full of worry.

She couldn't help laughing, stretched out her fingers like white jade, shook them in front of the two maids, and said, "I've returned to my soul." ”

Chunli sighed melancholy, without the slightest hint of joking: "Miss, did you quit like this?" ”

"Which is so fast? She just said that, and she had to change it back. Thinking that he would have to do Zhuang's ideological work after returning home, Zhong Lingyu wanted to rub his eyebrows. She would rather do bitter words for many days than see Zhuang's tears.

Chunli sighed again and did not speak. Ke Xiaogu pouted: "If Mrs. Ye makes up her mind, there will be no room for turning back in this matter." ”

Zhong Lingyu glanced at them and understood that they were worried that they would not be able to find a good in-law in the future. She couldn't help laughing and said, "If you think about Young Master Ye's situation, and then think about what kind of life I will live after marrying him, your mood will improve." ”

Chunli and Xiaogu naturally knew that Ye Xiaoqing was not a good person. Before retiring from his family, he wished that his young lady had nothing to do with such a lascivious person; But after retiring from his family, he will inevitably suffer from gains and losses.

It can be said that Zhong Lingyu was able to come over step by step after the death of his father, and it is inseparable from the support and companionship of these maids. Chunli and Xiaogu are worried, and I'm afraid that the other subordinates in the mansion who really care about her are also worried.

In order to appease the hearts of these people, as soon as Zhong Lingyu returned home, he called Zhou over and asked, "What news is there from Steward An?" ”

Zhou smiled: "Yes, yes, the slave maid heard that the young lady was back at home and was about to come over to report it, so the young lady took the first step to call the little one." ”

Without waiting for Zhong Lingyu to ask again, she continued: "We will follow Miss's instructions and let Mrs. Zhang ......" Speaking of this, I was afraid that Zhong Lingyu would not understand, so she explained, "It is the woman in Miss Wei's village who also serves as a matchmaker." When Young Master Ye was about to inspect the silk shop, this woman took Miss Wei there. When Young Master Ye saw Miss Wei, he didn't care that there were guests in the shop, so he stepped forward to talk to Miss Wei. Miss Wei was also very surprised to see Young Master Ye. The two chatted for a while, and Young Master Ye invited them to sit in the back hall, and they didn't know what they were talking about inside, and when they came out, the three of them took a sedan chair and went straight to the Ye family's courtyard. ”

Speaking of this, she glanced up at Zhong Lingyu, and saw that Zhong Lingyu's face was calm, and she was not angry and sad because of her words, so she said again: "It wasn't until an hour ago that the three of them came out of the courtyard, and Young Master Ye sent a carriage to send Miss Wei and Mrs. Zhang home, and with the carriage was a grandmother from Ye Mansion, as well as a bag of silk and food. Because I didn't know what Miss Wei's plans were, the one from our family followed them in a carriage, ready to go to the village to find another opportunity to inquire about the news from Mrs. Zhang. He hasn't come back yet, and when he returns, the slave will come back to report it. ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the rain lifted the curtain and reported: "Miss, Steward An is back." ”

Zhou was overjoyed.

"Let him in." The place where Zhong Lingyu received the Zhou family was the hall in the courtyard, but there was no need to be too taboo.

Zhou Anjiu came in and asked Zhong Lingyu for a greeting, and without waiting to ask, he took the initiative to say, "Miss, the matter is done." That Miss Wei is really ......" he shook his head, his face disdainful, "Lady Zhang said, Young Master Ye promised Miss Wei that he would buy her a courtyard, and the title deed would be in her name, and give her another thousand taels of silver, but Young Master Ye himself has not yet married, so it is not good to take a concubine, so let her live in the courtyard outside first, and then take her into the mansion when he becomes a relative." Miss Wei agreed. She planned to wait for Young Master Ye to buy the yard and send the land deed and silver, and then she would follow him into the city. ”

Chunli and the others disdained Wei Jiaxin's behavior on the one hand, and congratulated her on her choice on the other. If Ye Xiaoqing refuses to quit her family, Mrs. Ye can't do anything about her son, and Mrs. Ye doesn't know how to torture Miss after marrying Miss into the door. When the time comes, what kind of life Zhong Lingyu will live, you can know if you think about it.

Therefore, Zhong Lingyu has no second way to go except to withdraw from her family.

Now that Ye Xiaoqing has Wei Jiaxin in her hands, it seems that she will no longer rely on her own young lady to let go, and it should not be a problem to withdraw from her family.
