Ye Shuli's eyes widened a little in confusion, and her lips trembled, not knowing what to say.
He didn't expect his stepmother to say such a thing.
"No, no, it's my son. He's in good health, so he wears less."
Ye Shuli explained dryly.
Ye Fang looked Ye Shuli up and down. "You call your small body healthy? Come, call Liu Niang over here. I want to ask her how she managed to take care of the general's son and make him look like this!"
"yes."
"Don't be idle, all of you. Hurry up and pack up the food and put it away. Don't let it get wet in the snow.
Ye Shuxun, don't stand here, go back to your yard and reflect on your mistakes!
You are such a short-sighted person! I have provided you with plenty of food in my general's mansion, yet you are even thinking about such a small amount of food!
What a shame! Go away! Stop being an eyesore here! "
Ye Fang was really annoyed when she saw Ye Shuxun. She scolded him a few times and walked towards the main hall.
After walking a few steps, she turned around and saw Ye Shuli standing there staring at her, not even daring to catch up. She became even angrier.
"Ye Shuli! Are you stupid too? Follow me!"
"Ah? Yes!"
Ye Shuli hurried forward and followed Ye Fangshi away.
Ye Shuxun looked at Ye Shuli and curled his lips in disdain.
He is just a bastard, and he can only get his mother's care by pretending to be pitiful.
But why has his mother been disliking him in every way since she came back from the first time she went to Prince Kang's mansion to meet her little niece?
Do you have to scold him no matter what he says or does?
Ye Shuxun clicked his tongue and thought, who cares about her? After all, he is his mother's biological son. With this blood relationship, his mother is just a softie with a harsh tongue to him and there is no way she will ignore him.
Ye Shuli, a bastard, can't take away his mother's care for him!
In the main hall, Ye Fang sat in the main seat, and Ye Shuli sat on a chair below, with his head lowered submissively.
He seemed to be afraid to sit still, and only sat a little to the edge of the chair. His whole body was shaking from the exertion.
Ye Fang looked at this scene with a frown on her face that never relaxed.
Does the master know that his illegitimate son has been brought up like this by his concubine?
You can tell at first glance that he is petty and not presentable at all!
Ye Fang wanted to scold Ye Shuli, but seeing that he was like a frightened chick, she took a deep breath and swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
After a while, the housekeeper came with Liu Niang.
As soon as Ye Fang saw Liu Niang, she remembered what happened in the past. She also remembered that her husband, who had promised her that they would be together forever, turned around and betrayed her, brought home a woman who was pregnant with his child, and told her that he wanted this woman to be his concubine.
A prostitute from Yanliu Lane, somehow managed to get close to her husband, and even brought her baby into his house!
Even after more than ten years, she still felt disgusted when she saw Liu Niang!
"I wonder why Madam has summoned me here?"
Liu Niang has fair skin and a pair of fox eyes with natural charm.
She was wearing a light pink cotton coat embroidered with flower petals. Even though the coat was thick, her graceful figure could still be seen.
There is a lazy and attractive atmosphere from the inside out.
Ye Fang cursed her in her heart, saying that she was indeed a vixen!
Who are you trying to impress when you're already old and still dress up so extravagantly?!
"Mrs. Liu, you look quite warmly dressed. It seems the servants in the mansion haven't deducted your allowance."
Ye Fangshi suppressed her emotions and spoke.
Liu Niang raised her hand and stroked her hair, her voice charming, "Yes, the housekeeper did not deduct my share, and gave me everything I should have.
Madam, did you call me here just to ask me about this?"
"Of course not. Since the housekeeper didn't deduct your share from your mother and child, it seems that you, as the aunt, deducted the child's share."
Ye Fang's words made Liu Niang stunned. When she turned her head, her eyes met Ye Shuli who was sitting next to her. She covered her lips and exclaimed as if she had just seen Ye Shuli.
"Li'er, when did you sit here? Auntie didn't even see you."
Ye Shuli pursed his lips, stood up and bowed to Liu Niang, "Auntie, my son has been sitting here for a while."
"Hey, kid, you didn't call out when you saw Auntie coming in. You had to wait for Auntie to greet you first before you spoke."
Liu Niang turned the tables and walked over with a twist of her waist to sit on the chair next to Ye Shuli.
"Mrs. Liu, does this lady allow you to sit?"
Ye Fang spoke coldly, and the coldness in her voice made Liu Niang pause and she could only stand up straight.
"Please give me a seat, Madam. My legs are not in good condition and I cannot stand for too long."
"I've never heard that you have bad legs. You want to sit down, right? Then hand over the share that belongs to Ye Shuli that you embezzled."
Liu Niang was full of confusion, "Madam, I don't quite understand what you mean. What do you mean by me pocketing Li'er's share?"
The housekeeper did not deduct the share from me and Li'er. As Li'er's concubine, it is even more impossible for me to embezzle his share.
Where did you get this from, Madam?"
"If you didn't skimp on money, why is Ye Shuli, a fifteen-year-old boy, so frail and thin, even wearing such thin clothes in this cold winter?
Does the master know that you treat his bastard so harshly?"
Ye Fang asked sternly.
Liu Niang lowered her smiling eyes, and when she raised them again, they were full of grievance and confusion.
"Madam, you have wronged me! I have never treated Li'er harshly!
If you don’t believe me, ask Li’er!
Li'er, you said, Auntie treats you harshly? It's because you don't want to eat well that you are so thin. How can you blame Auntie?
Besides, it’s not like Auntie didn’t ask the embroiderer to make you a cotton-padded jacket, it’s you who said you’re cold-resistant and don’t want to wear it!”
Ye Shuli lowered his head, his hands clenched tightly into fists hidden in his wide sleeves.
"Yes, what Auntie said is true, Mother. Auntie did not treat her son harshly. It was her son who was not up to the task and did not grow strong."
Ye Fang narrowed her eyes slightly, not believing what Ye Shuli said at all.
"Li'er, now that your father is not in the mansion, everything in the mansion is decided by me. I am your legal mother, and I can make decisions for you on behalf of your father.
If your aunt really treats you badly, you can tell me and I will protect you."
Ye Fang felt that she could not treat her illegitimate son as her own.
But when she saw Ye Shuli's pitiful appearance, she really couldn't bear it anymore.
The adults are at fault; the children are innocent.
Ye Fang's voice still had a hint of coldness, but her tone was gentle.
Ye Shuli listened to what her stepmother said. It was clearly winter and she was clearly very cold.
But he felt warm in his heart, and the warmth in his heart made his throat sore, and something hot in his eyes was about to flow out.
Ye Shuli opened her mouth silently, as if she wanted to say something.
But Liu Niang spoke again.
