Chapter 27 Negotiation
"What?"
Ye Yunyi looked at Xie Xuchuan with a face full of shock.
Her suspicions were already piqued by his return, but then he revealed a shocking secret right in front of her.
"you……"
Pointing at Xie Xuchuan, Ye Yunyi's face turned ugly: "Xie Xuchuan, you've gone too far."
"What have we done to wrong you that you would treat our Shen family's daughter like this?"
"Sister-in-law Shen..."
"Stop calling me sister-in-law. I'm not your sister-in-law. Go find your Jiang family sister-in-law."
Ye Yunyi put her hands on her hips: "Our Shen family is an innocent girl. She married you with most of the Shen family's assets, but you not only had a lover before the marriage, but you also got pregnant with an illegitimate child."
"And now you want to bring them in? Do you think the Shen family is something your Xie family can just do to us?"
Ye Yunyi kept calling him a bastard, which made Xie Xuchuan feel suffocated.
He straightened his slightly hunched back, his attitude becoming more forceful: "Yuanzhu has already agreed to this matter."
A torrent of curses suddenly caught in her throat, and for a moment Ye Yunyi's face contorted in a ferocious expression.
She never expected that Shen Yuanzhu would be so self-deprecating, not knowing how to fight back when others bullied her, and even offering her face to be trampled on!
Ye Yunyi gritted her teeth and almost vomited blood.
"What does she, an unmarried girl, know? Isn't she just being deceived by you? Besides, she's not in charge of the Shen family yet. Without my, the matriarch of the Shen family, speaking up, she can forget about marrying into the Xie family."
Thinking of Shen Yanhuai's tireless efforts every day, just to retain the old customers who left after the Shen family sealed the vat, Ye Yunyi felt full of resentment.
She didn't care that Shen Yuanzhu's mother drove her mother-in-law to her death. But she couldn't tolerate the fact that most of the Shen family's foundation was left to Shen Yuanzhu, and that half of the dye vats in the Shen family's dye shop were sealed off, just so that Shen Yuanzhu would have more confidence to marry Xie Xuchuan.
Every time Ye Yunyi thought of these things, she hated Chen Yuanzhu even more.
It was fine before, but the marriage between the Xie and Chen families was arranged long ago, so she had no one to reason with.
But now Xie Xuchuan and Jiang Wansu have an ambiguous relationship, and Shen Yuanzhu wants to hand over the Shen family's business to the bastard who has Jiang family blood. How can she swallow this anger?
Shen Yuanzhu was so vicious that she would rather give the Shen family's dyeing manual to outsiders than give it to Shen Yanhuai...
Ye Yunyi gritted her teeth and, after a long while, suppressed her urge to rush to the back courtyard, drag Shen Yuanzhu out, and beat her to death.
"Sister-in-law Shen..."
Seeing her ferocious expression, Xie Xuchuan unexpectedly calmed down.
He turned and sat down in front of Ye Yunyi, even leisurely pouring himself a cup of tea: "You don't need to get angry, why don't we sit down and talk?"
After clearing his throat, he said, "I remember that 40% of the cotton cloth produced by your maternal clan was supplied to the Xie family. Before I went to Huizhou, I had just placed an order with the Ye family for a batch of goods."
"What do you mean?"
Ye Yunyi frowned, but her arrogance subsided considerably.
She came from the Ye family of Songjiang, whose family specialized in making cotton cloth.
Ye Jiazhao was far inferior to the Xie and Chen families. The fact that she was able to marry Shen Yanhuai was entirely because Shen's mother had no intention of finding a good wife for her son.
If it weren't for her father having done business with Shen's father and repeatedly asking about Shen Yanhuai's marriage, making Shen's father take it to heart, this good thing wouldn't have come her way.
Shen Yanhuai was of good character, and since the two elders of the Shen family had passed away early, only two obedient and easy-to-manage aunts remained at home.
She became the matriarch of the Shen family as soon as she entered the household, and Ye Yunyi couldn't be more satisfied with this marriage.
But because she married well, it became a matter of course for her to help the Ye family.
Over the years, she has used the marriage agreement between the Xie and Chen families to bring many benefits to the Ye family.
But she didn't expect that Xie Xuchuan would use this matter to threaten her.
Ye Yunyi's face was unpleasant, but her attitude softened after all.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xie Xuchuan said, "I hope that Sister-in-law Shen can help me persuade Brother Shen to agree. If the Shen family agrees, I am willing to give you the other half of the 'Xie Family Farming and Weaving Picture' free of charge after the marriage."
Is this really true?
Xie Xuchuan nodded: "Really?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunyi was filled with joy.
With the complete Xie family farming and weaving charts, we would no longer need to rely on the Xie family's craftsmen.
She could also pass on the farming and weaving chart to her younger brother, which would further solidify her position in her family.
Slightly clutching her sleeve, Ye Yunyi suppressed her excitement and pressed her advantage, saying, "Half of the Xie family's farming and weaving chart is not enough; I also want the other half of the Shen family's dyeing chart."
"You should know that this originally belonged to the Shen family and should be managed by the Shen family."
“I will help you persuade your husband to allow Jiang Wansu to enter the Xie family and raise the Jiang family’s children, but you…”
Ye Yunyi smiled faintly: "We must return the Shen family's dyeing records intact to their rightful owner."
