Chapter 291: You can split up the family, but you can’t take Xu and Tingyu with you
"These women came back from so far away, exhausted, but when they got home, not only could they not even get a bowl of water, they couldn't even get through the door. How can you bully them like this and not let them speak? That's too overbearing."
"Our old lady has always been very loving to the younger generation. This is the first time I've seen someone so vicious. Even if it's the first-born son, he has to be allowed into the house to breathe after coming back from outside!"
Du Wanwan couldn't help but sigh that the public had sharp eyes, and the old lady's plan to control their family was likely to fail.
Old lady! Just do your best! I’m just afraid you won’t do it.
"Is there anything in our family that cannot be told to others?" Chen Xiangxiu cried and replied, "I know that you, old lady, have always disliked me. Back then, you wanted to control the master's marriage, but the master refused and insisted on marrying me. You were disgusted and kept torturing me.
In the middle of winter, I had to get up at dawn and stand for several hours, from morning to night, for more than half a month, and I almost had a miscarriage.
You took my son away when he was born, and you didn't allow us to meet, nor did you let me raise him. I was worried day and night, and when the master heard about it, he wanted to take me to Liang County when he came back, but you refused.
Later, the master knelt down and begged you, the condition was that you agreed to take your eldest maid as your concubine, and you had to leave my son in the capital and not let me take him away. "
This is the hatred in Chen Xiangxiu's heart, the hatred of having her child taken away. The old lady did exactly that back then, and even if she said it out loud, she couldn't argue.
The daughter-in-law said that she had to get the property from the old lady today no matter what, so she would settle all the old and new accounts together. She had been holding back the hatred for many years, and she couldn't help but express it. Maybe this was the last time she would confront the old lady.
She had to finish what she was saying.
Anyway, the master's title of marquis is gone, so what is there for her to be afraid of? Want to control her and her daughter-in-law? No way.
Many women nearby felt very sympathetic when they heard about Chen Xiangxiu's experience. How could a mother bear to let her son be raised by someone else?
If it was the biological mother-in-law, it would be okay, but if it was the mother-in-law born from a second marriage, I would definitely be worried.
"The old lady in the Marquis' Mansion is so cruel. She actually snatched someone else's son? Her methods are despicable."
Why did the neighbor say it was the old lady from the Hou Mansion, instead of the old lady from the Ye Family?
Because the old lady of the Ye family is someone they are familiar with and cannot be confused.
The old lady in the Ye family's old house is not a bad person. She is very friendly to the younger generation and neighbors. Unlike the one who came back from the Marquis' Mansion, when she came, the Ye family didn't even dare to talk to them.
It shows how powerful this old lady is. Even after her property was confiscated and she was exiled, she still acted so high and mighty. It's really hard to like her.
"If they are not your biological children, then they are not your biological children. They are capable of anything. They even want to take someone else's son as their own. Poor child, he must have had a hard life since he was separated from his parents."
"The most shameless thing is that she put someone in her son's room, and the person she put in was her own maid. Is she trying to control her eldest son's family? Are all the old ladies in wealthy families so torturous? How scary."
"Seeing that the eldest son had no hope, the eldest daughter-in-law was not allowed to come in when she came back. She was mean, vicious and heartless."
The neighbors were outraged and said all sorts of nasty things.
It's no wonder, because the old lady acted as if she looked down on everyone as soon as she came back. Not to mention the neighbors, even the members of the Ye family, she didn't look down on many of them.
They are all extremely poor and can only go to her house to curry favor and ask for money. They are good for nothing else.
Everyone in the Ye family, young and old, were very respectful when they saw her, but the old lady's face was so cold that it was scary.
It's not worth getting scolded by her for no reason, so try not to provoke her if possible.
"I did that for your own good." The old lady didn't expect Chen Xiangxiu to tell everyone everything she had done. She was so ashamed and angry, "Ms. Shen! Don't talk nonsense."
"For my own good?" Chen Xiangxiu cried and then laughed, "You took my son away from me, and we couldn't see each other for nine years. Is this for my own good? A child without parents, living in fear by watching the faces of his second and third aunts, is this also for my own good?
When Zhongyuan was five years old, he was pushed into the lotus pond by Zhongqing from the second wife in the middle of winter and nearly drowned. Was it for my own good? Why should my son live under someone else's roof? Why should he be bullied?
"The housekeeper Fang deducted Zhongyuan's monthly allowance every month. He went to the academy to study and didn't even buy him a piece of good paper. Is this also for my own good?"
Fang, who was named, cried out in injustice: "You are talking nonsense, why didn't I buy it for you? It was your son who refused to buy it. I didn't deduct the monthly allowance, it was the old lady who saved it for him to marry a wife."
"Oh! To marry a wife?" Chen Xiangxiu sneered, "Zhongyuan did marry a wife, I wonder if the old lady has remembered this? Zhongyuan got married, do any of you remember?"
The old lady was about to faint from anger: "Shen! These trivial matters are in the past, what are you talking about? You can divide the family, but you can't take Xu and Tingyu away."
Xu shuddered all over and knelt down immediately: "Old Madam! I am the master's woman. Wherever the madam is, I will be there. Yu'er is the master's only daughter and has been raised under the name of the madam. How can I be separated from the madam?"
As soon as the old lady said this, Xu guessed what she was going to do. Her daughter's worries were not wrong. The old lady would not let them go easily.
Ye Tingyu didn't say anything, she looked at the old lady in fear, then turned around and looked at Du Wanwan pleadingly. She was afraid that she would be abandoned by her sister-in-law and that her mother would not want her.
If that were the case, she would be dead today.
"Why?" Chen Xiangxiu was not a fool, she was also clear about the old lady's plan, "Yu'er was born to Xu, but I raised her like a treasure. Why did you keep her, old lady?"
"I can't tell. Is the old lady trying to control her granddaughter's marriage?"
"Oh my! Today I've really opened my eyes. The old lady from the Marquis's Mansion is really shameless. She doesn't recognize her daughter-in-law, but wants to recognize her granddaughter. She wants to take advantage of her granddaughter and scrape off a layer of skin from the child."
"What a pitiful family! They just returned to the capital, and before they even entered the house, they are separating mother and daughter. It's too cruel, crueler than a wolf."
When Ye Tingyu looked at her, Du Wanwan walked over and pulled her behind her, constantly comforting her: "Don't be afraid! With mother, aunt and sister-in-law here, the old lady won't dare to do anything to you."
“Sister-in-law!”
After all, Yetingyu was only in her teens, still a little girl. After she called out "sister-in-law", she couldn't say anything else. Her tears fell like beads from a broken string, and kept falling.
"Aunt! Don't cry! Be strong!" Chenchen slid down from Du Wanwan's arms, stood on tiptoe, and reached out to wipe her tears. "Mom said that we should be together."
"Yes! Don't cry, auntie. I am strong."
After picking up her nephew, Ye Tingyu felt at ease. As long as her sister-in-law was willing to take care of her, the old lady's wishful thinking would not work.
