When Mrs. Ye San heard this, she winked at Mr. Ye Lao San, meaning, see what I said, this new sister-in-law just despises us and is afraid that we are poor, blood-sucking relatives!

Ye Laosan quickly signaled her not to add fuel to the fire.

But after listening to Ye Qingshan's dissatisfaction with Shao, Old Lady Ye said, "Qingshan, perhaps from your point of view, your daughter-in-law has gone too far.

"But honestly, from the perspective of a wife, I don't think your wife did anything wrong."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshan and Mrs. Ye San looked at Old Lady Ye in surprise, wondering why she would say such a thing.

Especially Mrs. Ye San, she always felt that her mother-in-law was a very wise person who was very good at handling family conflicts.

Apart from anything else, the fact that the four brothers and three wives of the Ye family have lived in such harmony for so many years is enough to show how capable Mrs. Ye is.

The room suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Old Mrs. Ye, wanting to hear what she would say.

Even Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Shao, who had entered the room earlier, pricked up their ears to listen to the noise outside.

"You said before that your wife was the daughter of an ordinary family you married in the local garrison, right?"

"right."

"You just said so many things about her, but you didn't mention anything about her seeking benefits for her family. Is it because you didn't say it or because she didn't do it?"

Ye Qingshan was stunned by this question, and then he said: "She has never done it."

"Qingshan, you have been promoted for your achievements at the border over the years, and her family is just an ordinary local family.

"Over the years, do you think anyone has ever asked you to do something for them, or tried to take advantage of you?"

Ye Qingshan instantly thought of some rumors at the border. He didn't pay attention to them at the time, but now he understood what was going on.

His voice instantly became hoarse, and he said, "Of course there will be. She must have blocked them all, so she didn't bother me..."

"You just came back from the border, and you don't have any connections in Beijing. Your wife's family can't help you either.

"All she can do is try to avoid all possible risks and not cause you any trouble.

"Tell me yourself, what did she do wrong?"

Ye Qingshan lowered his head and said nothing.

"Qingshan, this is the first time your wife and children have come to the capital. During the Chinese New Year, you left them in this big house. You said goodbye and disappeared for more than ten days. Now you finally came back, and brought a bunch of relatives from the countryside with you.

"Isn't it normal for your wife to be wary and worried since she doesn't know us?

"She didn't give us a hard time, and she didn't treat us badly. Why are you so angry?"

After hearing what Old Lady Ye said, Mrs. Shao, who had been holding back her tears, finally lost control of her emotions and threw herself on the couch, bursting into tears.

Ye Qingshan's head dropped lower and lower as he was told this. He said nothing and no one knew what he was thinking.

"You are so confused, kid! Although all women in this world hope their husbands will become successful.

"But the higher your position, the more uncertain your wife will be.

"She's not from a wealthy family. Not only is she worried about embarrassing you and holding you back, she's also worried about whether you'll despise her and abandon her..."

Ye Qingshan quickly raised his head and said, "Auntie, I swear to God, I have never had such thoughts."

“I know you didn’t, but you should also be more considerate and understanding of your wife’s feelings.

"You are a couple sleeping in the same bed. You should be the closest people in the world. It is only right that you should be united in facing the outside world.

"When she thinks about this family, isn't she also thinking about you and the children? Is she thinking about herself?

"How can you lose your temper with your wife just because of a few relatives?

"Think about it carefully. Isn't this the truth?"

Ye Qingshan felt ashamed after hearing what Old Lady Ye said.

Shao came out of the house with tears on her face, threw herself into Old Lady Ye’s arms, and cried, “Auntie, you are the only one who understands my heart.

"When I was at the border, as Qingshan got promoted, more and more relatives from my mother's side came to visit, and many of them who were not related to me at all wanted to take advantage of me.

"In order not to cause trouble for Qingshan, I always handle it myself and never bother him.

"We have just arrived in the capital from the border, and we are completely in the dark and have no idea what to do.

"He doesn't know anyone in the court, and I come from a commoner background. I don't know how to fit in with the circle of officials' wives in the capital.

"I feel like everyone in Beijing is waiting to see my family make a fool of themselves..."

"Alright, alright, stop crying. I'll talk to you about him." Old Madam Ye put her arm around Shao's shoulders and soothed her, "You are such an honest child.

"The home belongs to two people, so don't take everything on yourself.

"You're wasting so much time and energy, but he's like a fool and doesn't know anything.

"If you had let him worry a little at first, he would understand your painstaking efforts now.

"Men, you just can't let them live too easy."

These words made the four brothers of the Ye family and Ye Qingshan look a little uncomfortable.

"Auntie, what you just said really touched my heart. I'm just tongue-tied and don't know how to express myself."

Seeing Shao crying pitifully, Old Lady Ye quickly winked at Ye Qingshan, asking him to say a few words quickly.

Ye Qingshan scratched his head, and finally, under the threat of Mrs. Ye’s gaze, he leaned over and whispered, “Wife, it’s all my fault.

"I was judging you with my own mean mind, and I was dark-minded and thought the worst of you.
