When Qi Yunsheng returned home, he went straight to the cellar.
Smelling the foul smell of Chu Yin and her daughter, Qi Yunsheng hypocritically scolded the servant, "You bastards, how are you supposed to take care of the lady and the girl? Hurry up and prepare some food and clean clothes."
The servants had no idea what their master was up to, so they responded fearfully and hurried out.
Qi Yunsheng sat down next to the mother and daughter, looking at her sick daughter, and couldn't help but sigh: "Madam, why are you so stubborn? You torture Shuang'er like this. I feel sorry for her even if you don't."
Chu Yin held the unconscious Qi Shuangshuang with a dull look in her eyes and ignored him.
Qi Yunsheng touched his daughter's forehead and found it was very hot, so he quickly took off his outer robe and covered her with it.
"How come it got burned like this? Why didn't you tell your husband?"
Chu Yin glared at him silently with bloodshot eyes, and the sharp look made Qi Yunsheng's heart tremble.
"Ayin, you know I have always had you in my heart. You came from Tongyang and married to Jikang County, making so many people envy me."
Qi Yunsheng softened his tone and said earnestly, "You were always accommodating to me before, why are you getting upset over such a small matter now?"
Hearing this, Chu Yin just sneered, with self-mockery in her eyes.
Qi Yunsheng, seeing the rage welling up inside him, managed to persuade him with his remaining temper, "For 500,000 taels, I can sign a promissory note. Governor Xue has already promised me that as long as I can raise this amount of money, I will be the magistrate of Yuzhou. When that happens, I will never let you and your daughter down, and I will return the money immediately."
After thinking for a moment, he quickly added, "As long as you nod now, I will immediately go and persuade mother to hire a doctor for Shuang'er."
Chu Yin ignored him, and the cellar fell into deathly silence.
After waiting for a long time without receiving a response, Qi Yunsheng lost his patience and snatched the child away, saying sternly, "Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being cruel. From now on, you will never see your daughter again."
Seeing him carrying the child and leaving, Chu Yin could no longer remain calm: "Qi Yunsheng, where are you taking Shuang'er?"
Qi Yunsheng knew that she would not ignore her daughter's life or death, so she sneered coldly: "It has nothing to do with you."
Chu Yin was extremely frightened. She knew that her mother-in-law didn't like her granddaughter at all. If Qi Yunsheng was cruel again, her daughter would have no chance of survival.
"I promise you, I'll go find Wanwan, and you don't hurt Shuang'er again."
Hearing this, Qi Yunsheng turned around with a smile: "This is what my good wife should be."
Chu Yin looked at him with lifeless eyes and said in a cold tone, "Wan Wan borrowed this money. You are not allowed to plot against her again in the future."
"certainly."
Qi Yunsheng responded with a forced smile. After receiving the silver left by the old lady of the Ye family, he naturally had no need to make things difficult for an orphan who was despised by others.
......
A good marriage was ruined like this, and Ye Wanshu felt uneasy for two days.
Fu Yunni had long realized that the teacher she was talking about was not just coming to the house to teach. Now that the scholar was not coming to the house, she became the happiest one.
Early that morning, the little guy just woke up and pestered Ye Wanshu, saying that he wanted to take her to Yuezhou to relax.
Now she is no longer able to clean up this mess for her elder brother, and she is afraid that only her mother can resolve it satisfactorily.
"Sister Ye, my cousin seems to have left Lin'an as well. She's so pitiful now, all alone. Can we go to Yuezhou to see her together?"
Fu Yunni tugged at Ye Wanshu's skirt and pleaded, "I have a cousin in Yuezhou City. She's very annoying and loves to bully my cousin from the Mu family. We can't let her stay in Yuezhou alone."
Knowing that Mu Qingqing had returned to Gusu, Ye Wanshu evaded the question with a lack of interest, "Wait for your eldest brother to come pick you up, and he'll take you back."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Yan rushed in anxiously: "Miss, the people from the county government sent a lot of things, saying they are for Prince Yongning. Should we accept them or not?"
Ye Wanshu lowered her eyebrows and glanced at the little guy: "Of course I have to accept it."
That bastard Fu Mingchi has been teasing me again and again, thinking he can do whatever he wants in his territory. Since he is so arrogant, I have to eat his food, wear his clothes, and even sleep with him one day.
Mother Yan had no idea what tricks the young lady and Prince Yongning were playing. She nodded thoughtfully and said, "Young lady Yin is here. Do you want to see her?"
"Ayin?"
Without thinking, Ye Wanshu excitedly stood up, leaving the little kid behind and rushed out. When she arrived at the door, she saw Chu Yin standing under a peach tree. She seemed to have become much more haggard after not seeing her for a few days.
"Sister Yin, you finally came to see me."
Ye Wanshu excitedly went forward and hugged her, but heard her moan weakly.
"What's wrong with you?" Ye Wanshu quickly let go of her and looked her up and down.
"I'm fine, I'm fine." Chu Yin held back the tears in her eyes and glanced at the two servants beside her.
"Come inside and talk."
Ye Wanshu pulled her inside. An old woman hurriedly approached her and whispered, "Young Madam, please be careful with your words. Miss Shuang is still being cared for in the old lady's courtyard."
Chu Yin pursed her lips bitterly and was dragged forward by Ye Wanshu in a daze.
Ye Wanshu sensed something was amiss and glared at the old woman. "Why, your master needs you to keep a close eye on him when he goes out?"
"I dare not." The old woman looked at Chu Yin meaningfully, "It's just that my young mistress has been in a bad mood recently, and I'm afraid of offending Miss Ye."
"That's a matter between us, and you, a bitch, are not allowed to interfere."
Ye Wanshu unhappily instructed Mother Yan, "Take good care of these two distinguished guests. Don't let them get too comfortable."
