During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.
But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...
When I got off the car, I saw a lot of people standing inside and outside the second gate. I didn't know what to do for a moment.
Qin Hexuan called them and said, "Come and change into the sedan chair. I will take you to see mother."
So the Ye family got into the sedan chair in a daze, and they didn't know how far they walked before finally stopping.
Qin Hexuan led everyone into the courtyard to meet Mrs. Qin.
"You're here so early. You must have had a hard journey."
Although she had returned to the capital, Mrs. Qin did not have the airs of a superior at all. She still greeted the Ye family warmly and spoke gently.
Qin Hexuan winked at his mother, and Mrs. Qin understood and found an excuse to keep Mrs. Ye and Qingtian.
"Mother, you guys chat here. I'll take Uncle Ye and Fourth Uncle Ye to the side room to sit and talk."
"Go, go!"
Although Ye Lao Da and Ye Lao Si are honest, they are not fools. Looking at their posture, it is obvious that they have something to say in private.
As expected, after arriving at the wing room, Qin Hexuan dismissed all the servants except Song Tao, and looked up at Boss Ye.
Although Qin Hexuan didn't say anything, Boss Ye understood what he meant.
Boss Ye asked, somewhat unsure how to begin: "Fourth Brother, are you okay? Do you need to step aside for a while? I'll talk to you if there's anything else."
"Brother, now that it's like this, what else can I not bear?" Ye Lao Si smiled bitterly and lowered his head, "Young Master Qin, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. I can bear it."
"Then let's sit down and talk." After the three of them sat down, Qin Hexuan continued, "This matter has been basically investigated. Song Tao, you speak!"
"Yes!" Song Tao stepped forward and said, "This Wang Fugui made some money from the autumn harvest this year, drank a little in the capital, and started bragging everywhere.
"Then he was targeted by people who thought he was a fat sheep and lured him into gambling.
“Although he was considered a wealthy family in Rongxi Village, the little money he had at home was not enough to be used in gambling houses in the capital.
"Before long, he not only lost all his money, but also got into a lot of debt.
"Just when Wang Fugui was worried, Guo suddenly came to his grocery store every day.
"Wang Fugui felt that although Guo Shi was not the most beautiful, she was still quite young and pretty, so he had other ideas.
"He wanted to lure Guo to the capital, sell her directly to a brothel, and use the profits to pay off his debts.
“But what Wang Fugui didn’t expect was that Guo would actually cooperate so well.
"Not only did they accept his plan completely, they even helped him steal money from the Ye family.
"Even so, it still failed to move Wang Fugui's heart.
"Wang Fugui originally still had some conscience. He felt that Guo liked him so much that she would rather elope with him than live a good life at home. He shouldn't let her down. He wanted to sell her for less money and told the madam to treat her better.
But who knew that after knocking Guo unconscious, Wang Fugui finally got hold of Old Madam Ye's money box. He excitedly opened it and found that there was not a single silver coin inside, only a little over two taels of copper coins.
"When Wang Fugui saw this, he was so angry that his nose almost turned crooked. He felt that he was a sucker and was completely deceived by Guo.
"So he immediately changed his mind and signed a life-or-death contract with the madam, then took all his belongings to the casino.
After losing all his money and borrowing money at high interest, Wang Fugui spent the whole night in the gambling house.
"Until he had lost all his money and could no longer borrow money, Wang Fugui had no choice but to give up and return to the inn.
"We have now recaptured Wang Fugui. He only learned what he just said during this interrogation.
“As for Guo…” Song Tao paused and continued, “Because they signed a death contract, the fate of such girls is usually not very good.
"They are usually sent by the madam to serve customers with special fetishes...
"Ms. Guo is still in Yicui Tower, not receiving any guests, but she has been drugged and the fetus in her womb has been aborted. Unless something unexpected happens, she probably won't be able to have children in the future..."
When he heard that the baby in his belly was gone, Ye Laosi felt like he was hit hard by a club. He felt dizzy, saw stars, and could hardly stand.
Although I had thought about the worst possible outcome a long time ago.
But having it suddenly exposed and laid out before his eyes was still a bit too much for him to bear.
Seeing Ye Lao Si covering his heart with his hands, Ye Lao Da felt anxious.
“Guo’s seems to be safe for now, so we haven’t taken any action yet.
"Whether to move or not, and how to move, please give me your instructions, Master."
Qin Hexuan waited for him to finish speaking, then nodded and said, "That's roughly what happened. What are your plans?"
Ye Lao Si and Ye Lao Da looked at each other, both showing an embarrassed look.
Qin Hexuan thought for a moment and said, "How about this, you guys don't interfere with Guo's side, I'll get someone to handle it.
"Anyway, your Ye can't have this daughter-in-law anymore, right?"
Qin Hexuan suddenly asked this question, leaving Ye Laosi, who was still immersed in sadness, speechless.
Song Tao helplessly pointed out, "Master, this isn't just a matter of whether the Ye family still recognizes this daughter-in-law.
"Now that things have gotten this far, this matter is no longer just the Ye family's business. We must follow the clan's rules."
"There are rules in the clan? We didn't know about them, Boss Ye asked in confusion. We had never heard the clan leader mention them before."
