Ye Qingqing grew increasingly angry as she thought about it. After parting ways with Lu Mo, she went to the Sang residence alone, wanting to ask more questions.
Lu Mo's explanation was unclear; he didn't mention many details, such as how Tang Yufen harmed Grandma and how Ye Xunmei met Grandma. Perhaps Lu Mo didn't know these things either.
But Ye Qingqing really wanted to know. She had a burning desire to know, and she couldn't sleep peacefully until she found out!
After Lu Mo left, the old lady and Gu Nianci were both in low spirits, their expressions somber, and the atmosphere became heavy.
It wasn't until dinner time that the two gradually recovered their spirits, but Gu Nianci still looked sad and depressed, with no appetite, and ate her rice by counting the grains.
Is it worth neglecting your own stomach for that unfaithful person?
The old lady got angry when she saw Gu Nianci's pathetic state, and felt utterly helpless.
Ye Xunmei, that bastard, is Gu Nianci's nemesis!
Gu Nianci gave a self-deprecating laugh. "Cousin, I just don't understand why he married Tang Yufen. He knew perfectly well that Tang Yufen felt this way about me..."
"If you still can't figure this out, it means they're in cahoots. From the very beginning, those two have been plotting against you, you idiot!"
The old lady got angrier and angrier as she spoke, threw down her chopsticks, and started berating Gu Nianci.
If you can't see something this obvious, you deserve to have been fooled by that scumbag couple back then!
"Think about it carefully. How could Ye Xunmei have appeared by such a coincidence that night? How could a weak scholar like him dare to deal with so many thugs? It means he was in cahoots with those thugs, deliberately putting on a show for you, you idiot!"
After an afternoon of analysis, the old lady had figured it out and hated the scumbag and the bitch even more!
"Grandma, what exactly happened back then?"
Ye Qingqing overheard a few words at the door and couldn't help but rush in.
Gu Nianci lowered her head in shame; she was too ashamed to tell her granddaughter about the shameful things that happened back then!
"Lu Mo told me, but there are some parts I don't understand," Ye Qingqing said, panting.
She rode all the way here at breakneck speed, taking only 5 minutes for a 10-minute ride, and her legs were already aching.
The old lady sighed, looked at Gu Nianci, and shook her head angrily at her pathetic appearance.
The old lady had complicated feelings towards Gu Nianci.
Pity for her misfortune and resentment at her lack of resistance are the most accurate descriptions of the old lady.
But the old lady felt mostly guilty. If she had raised Gu Nianci to be more strong-willed, perhaps things wouldn't have turned out this way!
"Good child, sit down!"
The old lady pulled Ye Qingqing to sit down and began to recount her past, which was not a pleasant story, but rather quite cliché.
One night when Gu Nianci was eighteen, she encountered a group of thugs outside. In the nick of time, Ye Xunmei rushed out to save her.
"So Grandma fell in love with this scumbag?" Ye Qingqing could guess the rest of the story even with her eyes closed.
The classic trope of a down-on-his-luck scholar and a rich young lady!
Ye Qingqing continued to speculate, "These thugs were actually hired by Ye Xunmei, and they were deliberately putting on a show for Grandma, right?"
The old lady was very pleased. Although Nianci was stupid, Qingya was strong and smart, just like her own granddaughter!
"That's about it, but there's one more person involved. Tang Yufen and Ye Xunmei were the ones who planned this together, and the reason your grandmother went out that night was also because of Tang Yufen."
The old lady spoke bitterly about what happened back then, and Ye Qingqing was filled with indignation. She had a feeling that Tang Yufen was the mastermind behind the whole thing!
