"What do you mean by that! Stop making baseless accusations! My daughter-in-law is an excellent teacher!"
"You're slandering teachers, aren't you afraid of being arrested and locked up in jail!"
Madam Xun pointed at Ye Yun and issued a stern warning and threat, making her look like an unreasonable old witch.
Since it concerns the integrity of the Xun family's traditions, she is very concerned about her reputation and will not allow outsiders to smear it.
Does her social status have a direct relationship with her character?
Ye Yun smiled and spoke clearly, enunciating each word: "I know your daughter-in-law is a teacher, but I've also asked around. Teachers who truly educate and nurture students don't need to travel frequently, but she travels on average once a month a year. Why is that?"
"Of course, it's for further studies!"
Xun's mother was full of confidence.
She was proud to have a daughter-in-law who was a teacher, and she looked down on Ye Yun from the bottom of her heart.
Even though Ye Yun runs a clothing factory with three major businesses, in her heart, she is still just a lowly country bumpkin.
Being able to take over Xu Jiashen's Blue Sky Garment Factory was just a matter of good luck.
Mother Xun looked Ye Yun up and down with disdain, raising her chin. "It's normal that you, coming from the mountains, don't understand these things. Being a teacher isn't easy; it requires further training. You're a country bumpkin, so it's fine if you don't understand, but don't spread rumors and cause trouble here!"
"Whether I'm spreading rumors or not, you can go to your daughter-in-law's school and ask her yourself."
Ye Yun maintained a polite smile throughout, speaking calmly and unhurriedly: "You haven't been to her school either, have you? Do you know how many rumors are circulating about her there?"
What's wrong with rumors?
Mother Xun unconditionally defended her daughter-in-law and retorted forcefully: "There are plenty of rumors in this world, and you can't just believe everything you hear. I can't doubt my daughter-in-law because of an outsider like you!"
Ye Yun nodded.
That's a very kind thought.
It's just unclear whether she's desperately trying to protect her daughter-in-law or her own family's reputation.
However, judging from how protective she is of her daughter-in-law, she probably wouldn't believe the truth even if it were laid bare before her; instead, she would think they were trying to sow discord.
Seeing that Xun's mother was doing her best to cover up the truth, Ye Yun couldn't help but feel a pang of pity in her eyes.
"Ms. Gao, seeing how hard you've been working, I really can't bear to see you kept in the dark. So, I'd like to give you a piece of advice: go and inquire at your daughter-in-law's school."
"I won't tell you exactly who the other person is, but they're definitely higher up than your daughter-in-law. So when you go to ask, make sure you ask the right person. After all, this isn't a respectable matter. The other person is in a high position and naturally cherishes their reputation. Their subordinates wouldn't dare offend them, so they'd definitely have to cover for them."
"If you still don't believe me after all this, why don't you open your eyes and see for yourself how much your granddaughter looks like you?"
"You let go..."
Xun's mother opened her mouth to refute, but Ye Yun's last sentence made her stop abruptly.
Her mind raced. She was a smart woman. Her granddaughter's face flashed through her mind, then her own son's face, but the two didn't match at all.
She always knew that her granddaughter didn't look like someone from the Xun family; people with the surname Xun all had phoenix eyes and thin lips.
But the little granddaughter has a round face, round eyes, and chubby lips; she's as pretty as a porcelain doll.
However, although the little granddaughter did not resemble the Xun family from birth, she looked exactly like her mother, so they never doubted it.
It's perfectly normal for a child to look like their mother.
Besides, she caught Xun Xiangbin getting pregnant while drunk.
She was the one who arranged the blind date banquet. Xun Xiangbin didn't go home to sleep that day. The next day, she saw Xun Xiangbin running out of the next room. Doesn't that prove anything?
Given all this, if the little girl isn't from the Xun family, could she be from another family?
Thinking about it, Madam Xun glared resentfully at Ye Yun, gritting her teeth: "You wicked hussy, my daughter-in-law is innocent. Although she got pregnant with my granddaughter before marriage, we all know exactly how she got pregnant!"
"You try to sow discord between my mother-in-law and daughter-in-law without knowing the truth. Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"
That fierceness seemed to want to tear Ye Yun apart.
Ye Yun simply said, "Auntie, was your little girl premature?"
Mother Xun snorted coldly, "Yes, so what if it's premature? My daughter-in-law fell and went into premature labor, isn't that normal? What does that prove?"
She was not premature.
Ye Yun looked at her intently, her tone like a thunderbolt: "She had to give birth when her time came."
“She was afraid you would become suspicious, so she had to lie and say that she had fallen. I heard that your granddaughter was born fair and chubby. Do you think such a baby could be premature?”
"Actually, she was already pregnant before she went on a blind date with your son. Unfortunately, the other party was married and could not take responsibility for her. She was also reluctant to abort the child, so she could only find a father for the child and a husband for herself so that the child could be born legitimately!"
At this point, Ye Yun enunciated clearly: "Your son is the green-haired turtle she chose."
Xun's mother's expression changed drastically.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"Then tell me, did she approach you and suggest you go on a blind date with your son?"
Xun's mother was suddenly speechless.
That's right, Xun Xiangbin had just returned home when the mother and daughter from next door came to her house.
She had always had a good relationship with her next-door neighbor, who said that both of their children were of marriageable age and that they knew each other well, so they wanted to set them up.
She was absolutely overjoyed.
She originally thought that her son, who had been sent to the countryside, was not well-off, so she could just marry anyone. But she never expected that the girl she had watched grow up would fall for her second son, who had become a teacher at a school.
At the time, she was focused on preparing for the blind date banquet and didn't realize that something was wrong.
Now that Ye Yun has said that, everything seems a bit strange.
From Xun's mother's constantly changing expressions, Ye Yun saw the answer. She simply pointed to her own bulging belly and said, "Ms. Gao, I am also pregnant. I know how cautious a pregnant woman who is about to become a mother is. How could she fall so easily?"
This time, Xun's mother remained silent.
Although she still stood aggressively in front of Ye Yun, her eyes were no longer firm, and there was even a hint of wavering.
Ye Yun continued, "If she had cut off all contact with other men and lived a good life with Xun Xiangbin after marrying him, I don't think I would have gone to such lengths to destroy her."
"But clearly, she didn't."
"The once-a-year business trip is just a way for you to find time to openly enjoy married life with your granddaughter's biological father in another city."
"And your little granddaughter."
"You really think your daughter-in-law sent her to her parents' home? You're wrong. Right now, your precious granddaughter is somewhere with her mother, calling other men 'Dad'."
Xun's mother suddenly staggered.
Seemingly unable to accept the news, she clutched her chest in frustration, pointing a finger at Ye Yun, but her finger trembled uncontrollably. Suddenly, her eyes rolled back, and she fell backward—
