The more the Marquis of Zhenbei listened, the more ashamed and indignant he became.
I really want to tell them the truth all at once.
She is not a lowly person; she is the biological mother of Shixuan and Shiming.
The intelligent Wanqing is his biological daughter.
"I...please be kind with your words...she's not as terrible as she's made out to be..."
Ye Lanyin sneered, "Not that bad? Then why didn't you just bring her in as a concubine in the first place? Why did you have to keep her outside?"
"She must have some shady secret!"
Ye Lanyin raised her chin and looked arrogantly at the man in front of her.
The Marquis of Zhenbei was angered by her humiliating gaze.
But with so many people around, he couldn't possibly win.
Bring her in first, and we'll make her a concubine later.
He would get through this period first, and once Shixuan became the top scholar and received an official position, he would sweep the poisonous woman out of his house.
Then let Shuang'er be the matriarch, and the whole family can enjoy family bliss.
"good."
He finished speaking.
The old lady was so angry that she slapped his hand and mumbled, "Are you confused?"
Ignoring her resentment, the Marquis of Zhenbei looked at Ye Lanyin with a sinister gaze.
Are you satisfied now?
Ye Lanyin almost laughed out of anger. After doing such a thing, it was as if she was the beneficiary.
"The Marquis has gained an advantage and benefited, so naturally the Marquis is satisfied."
"You ask me if I'm satisfied? Of course I'm not. If it weren't for the children, I would have cut all ties with you today!"
Ye Zhennan wanted to say something, but was stopped by his wife, Madam Xie.
Second Uncle Ye Wennan had been navigating the civil service for many years and naturally understood the intricacies involved.
It seems that the good days of the Marquis of Zhenbei are coming to an end.
This concubine's status has been ruined.
This means that the concubine can be taken advantage of by anyone in the Marquis's mansion.
"My lord, remember this. You said you would listen to me from now on. Today you brought your beloved into the house. My lord, you must also remember that there are many sisters in the inner quarters. You must treat them all equally."
"I see."
Ye Lanyin couldn't help but laugh when she saw his frustrated expression.
She turned around and smiled at the people who had come to cheer her on.
"Big brother, second brother, sister-in-law, Xi'er, Yu Rong, Nian Yu, thank you all for today."
Ye Lanyin was grateful and bowed deeply to the group.
The eldest princess quickly supported her, "Lanyin, what nonsense are you talking about? We are sisters. If your younger sister is bullied, how can the older sister not stand up for her?"
After speaking, she looked at the Marquis of Zhenbei and the old lady with an undeniable air of authority.
"The way you treated her today, the Ye family could have taken her away, but Lan Yin was kind and gave you a chance."
"Marquis of Zhenbei, you must cherish this concubine and not forget your mistress!"
The Marquis of Zhenbei has long since lost face, and now he hates Ye Lanyin to death.
He was made to feel so embarrassed in front of so many people.
Not only was he beaten, but he also knelt down before her.
He completely forgot that the kneeling was something he had orchestrated himself.
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will treat everyone fairly."
Having received the promise from the Marquis of Zhenbei, the eldest princess held Ye Lanyin's hand and spoke gently.
"In that case, we'll head back now."
"Okay, I'll take you."
Upon reaching the door, Uncle Ye Zhennan stopped and said worriedly:
"Lanyin, I originally wanted to take you with me. Since this is your choice, I will support you from behind. If you ever want to come back, the Ye family's doors will always be open for you. You will still be the eldest daughter of the Ye family."
"Yes, Lanyin, my second sister-in-law and I are waiting for you at home. Come back soon." Her sister-in-law, Xie, held her hand, looking distressed.
Ye Lanyin's eyes reddened, and she sniffed.
"Okay, brothers and sisters-in-law, thank you for your concern."
Ye Wennan patted Ye Lanyin and then got into the carriage.
After watching them leave, Ye Lanyin helped the princess and the others onto the carriage.
Looking at Ye Lanyin's exhausted face, Madam Sheng took her hand and said, "Lanyin, let me tell you, having too many concubines is not a good thing. You should make a decision sooner rather than later."
"The child... will ultimately be with you."
She had experienced life with concubines before, and originally thought that harmony in the family would bring prosperity. Fortunately, she received help from Wanwan, otherwise she would probably only be bones by now.
Now, she no longer believes that concubines can be sisters.
Ye Lanyin understood that she was doing it for her own good.
It's better to live comfortably on your own than to follow a bunch of scoundrels.
But she couldn't bear being deceived and schemed against in her past life, and ultimately her entire family was executed.
"I understand, I'll handle it."
"Okay, that's good."
After Madam Sheng finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of something not far away out of the corner of her eye.
Ha, it came so easily! She was just looking for a place to vent her anger.
He angrily rolled up his sleeves and walked over there.
Zou Shuang'er opened her eyes, preparing to escape, but was grabbed by the hair by Madam Sheng.
"Trying to leave?"
"No way!"
"Lan Yin is kind, but that doesn't mean I'm easy to mess with. You've bullied my sister, so you'd better think twice before you act!"
She raised her hand and slapped Zou Shuang'er hard.
"Smack!"
"Clap clap clap!"
"Clap clap clap clap clap!"
"You lowly concubine, you shameless slut in your open-crotch pants, your child will be a vixen, a shameless whore."
"A worn-out shoe from the trash can is a curse to anyone who wears it! Even the shit from the latrine doesn't stink as much as you!"
"Ahhh—" Zou Shuang'er's face was bruised from the beating.
Madam Sheng rubbed her numb hands and shouted angrily:
