After seeing Ye Lanyin off, the old lady kept Xie Shi and Li Shi behind, and then asked the maids to take the children out to play.

Madam Xie was puzzled. "Mother, what's wrong?"

Just moments ago, he was happily chatting and laughing with Lan Yin. Why did his face turn so pale as soon as he left? Could something have happened at Lan Yin's residence?

The old lady slowly began, "This matter is indeed very outrageous to tell you, and perhaps you will not believe it."

"But this matter is of great importance, and I have to tell you in advance."

Li was a little uneasy. "Mother, what is it? Please tell me, the daughters-in-law will definitely listen."

“Yes, yes,” Sister-in-law Xie echoed.

The old lady saw that they had taken it all to heart and knew that now was the best time to bring this up.

She straightened her posture slightly. "This matter is of great importance, which is why the Ye family is now proceeding with extreme caution, as if walking on thin ice."

Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance, waiting for the old lady to continue.

The old lady lowered her voice and then told everyone about Lin Wanwan's recent affairs and how everyone was able to hear her true feelings.

The two became increasingly alarmed as they listened, and they grabbed each other's hands to steady themselves.

The two men's behavior was exactly what she expected; when she first heard it from her eldest son, she couldn't believe it either.

It took Sister-in-law Xie a while to process what had happened.

So, the children cried that day because they heard their fate?

"Mother, your daughter-in-law understands. Thank you for your trust in your daughters-in-law."

"Whether it's the Ye family being executed or treason, I absolutely do not believe the Ye family would do such a thing."

Madam Li nodded, "Yes, Mother, your daughter-in-law absolutely does not believe it. Our Ye family has been loyal and virtuous for generations, how could we do such a thing?"

"Besides, now that we know our destiny through Wanwan, it means that God is also helping us. As long as our family works together, we can definitely defy fate and live a good life."

Madam Xie nodded, "Yes, isn't there a saying that brothers united can break metal? I believe that anything is possible with human effort. Now that Yuqi has overcome the hardships of his past life, it means that the Ye family is slowly overcoming difficulties."

Hearing this, the old lady nodded with red eyes, "Yes, yes, we will all be alright."

The three women, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, held each other's hands tightly and chatted for a long time inside the house.

As darkness fell, the old lady summoned Li's personal maid and, finding a pretext, accused her of stealing her things.

Upon hearing this, Li ordered her to search the woman's residence, intending only to punish her. However, they found many gifts from her husband in the woman's room, which enraged her so much that she ordered her to be beaten to death.

The old lady never expected that what she said casually would come true.

It seems that this person has gone astray both physically and mentally; there's no need to worry about Madam Li feeling sorry for that maid.

Not long after Ye Lanyin returned to the Marquis's residence, she saw Hua Mei come back from outside.

"Madam, the outer courtyard has indeed been sold."

Ye Lanyin smiled, knowing that the Marquis of Zhenbei was selfish and would never agree to give up the Lin family's land.

That leaves only the courtyard outside the main building.

Who bought it?

Hua Mei smiled and said, "Madam Sheng!"

"Yu Rong?" she asked, somewhat surprised.

“Madam, after the master and the others left, I saw Madam Sheng get off the carriage. She said that this courtyard is going to be used to raise chickens.”

【Hahaha……】

Lin Wanwan couldn't hold back and laughed along with Xiao Ba.

"whee…"

Ye Lanyin's mind went blank; she was almost deafened.

Listening to the little one's inner thoughts comes at a price; you might go deaf one day.

"She bought it to build a chicken farm?"

"Yes, Madam Sheng also said that the courtyard should be named 'Chicken Double,' and she immediately ordered the maid to make a plaque, and it had to be in gold lettering!"

"I also told the local residents that if they needed to raise chickens, they could do so for free at the chicken farm."

Golden Rooster?

Ye Lanyin could no longer hold back and burst out laughing.

"hehe……"

She really... really liked these sisters.

Aunt Sheng and my mother have such a good relationship.

[My mother simply married Aunt Sheng...]

Ye Lanyin smiled and gently rubbed Lin Wanwan's head.

How can a woman marry another woman? Wouldn't people say that they are homosexual?

The two maids beside Ye Lanyin were all smiles.

At that moment, a maid walked in from the doorway.

The group immediately stopped laughing.

"Madam, something terrible has happened!"

At the door, an unfamiliar maidservant rushed in, disregarding all etiquette.

"What's wrong? Why are you so flustered?" Ye Lanyin asked with a smile.

"Reporting to Madam, I just finished reporting to Sister Lanzhi. When I returned to my quarters, I found that the door was locked. So I asked Xiao Tangzi to break the door open and found that Sister Qiaoxiu had committed suicide by cutting her wrists."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin asked anxiously, "How could this happen?"

“Madam, I don’t know either. Sister Qiaoxiu used to help in the main kitchen, but later she went to serve the Fourth Young Master.”

"Our schedules don't match, so we don't communicate much."

Without thinking twice, Ye Lanyin stood up.

"Paint plum blossoms, paint your heart, come with me."

"It is Madam."

The group hurried towards the maid's quarters, while Ye Lanyin sent someone to fetch a doctor from outside.

When they arrived at the maid's quarters, several maids were already serving them.

Ye Lanyin had just arrived at the maid's quarters when the doctor arrived as well.

Looking at the exhausted and weak maidservant lying on the ground with her eyes closed, Ye Lanyin sighed:
