Mrs. Ouyang suddenly realized that Hua Fushu had hit the nail on the head. She was only concerned with stopping her son, but had never delved into why her son wanted to take the imperial examination.
She smiled faintly, "My daughter, although you are young, you think much more clearly than me, who is nearly fifty years old. Perhaps, I really should ask Lin'er. If Lin'er insists, I may not stop him. However, I am afraid his father and grandfather will stop him. His father is easy to deal with, but his grandfather will not be able to get over it. You don't know his grandfather's temper, he is a stubborn old man."
Hua Fushu really wanted to say, let him die, just do what you want to do, what does it have to do with others?
However, Madam Ouyang was a typical lady from a wealthy family, and she probably didn't like her foul language and the word "death" that she kept talking about. So she said, "Mother, I think if you really want to do something, you don't have to care about what others think. Success is good, but even if you don't, at least you tried your best, and you won't regret it when you think about it later. I support Ye Zelin because I know he's serious and has thought it through carefully."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted for a few more minutes, and then Hua Fushu said goodbye.
She returned to Penglai Residence and called Sanqiao Lizhi, saying that it was time to set off. However, just as she arrived at the gate of the yard, Lizhi from Feiyuan next door called her and asked her to come into Feiyuan.
It turned out that it was the old general who was looking for her.
The old general knew that Hua Fushu did not listen to his words to persuade Ye Zelin, but instead helped Ye Zelin and violated the ancestral rules of the Ye family.
Right from the start, he started to curse Hua Fushu, saying that she didn't listen to her elders, helped the evil, and disobeyed the ancestral teachings of the Ye family. He not only cursed her, but also Ye Zelin, using ugly words like "bastard" and "bastard". The curses were extremely ugly. Of course, these words were not directed at her, but at Ye Zelin.
Husband and wife are one. The old general used such harsh words to insult her husband, which was actually insulting her. Hua Fushu couldn't stand it. She didn't care about respecting the elders anymore. After all, it was the old man who was disrespectful first. She immediately scolded him back. She said, "Ye Changting, you are an old man, but you take advantage of your age and are shameless. You are addicted to scolding, right? If you say the word "bastard" again, I will break your bones, tear down your Feiyuan, and make a fuss until you die. I will make your whole family live in peace!"
The servants in the room and Ye Songyan who was standing by were all a little surprised when they heard what Hua Fushu said. They all knew that Hua Fushu was not respectful enough to the old general. They thought she had restrained herself, but she became even worse.
The old general became increasingly disrespectful and immediately became unhappy.
Hua Fushu was the master after all, so the servants didn't dare to say anything, but their anger was written on their faces.
Ye Songyan's face immediately darkened. "Sister-in-law, you're going too far. How could you treat Grandfather like this?"
Hua Fushu ignored Ye Songyan. The old general slammed the table and stood up, his eyes wide open in anger. With a sweep of his old hand, the teacup on the table flew towards Hua Fushu, about to hit her, but she caught the teacup with her backhand and smashed it hard at the old general's feet.
Bang!
The teacup fell to the ground with a thud, shattering into pieces. The scalding hot tea splashed on the old general's shoes and socks. He had no idea whether he was burned or not.
The old general shuddered and took a step back.
This damn girl is lawless! She has been provoking him and disrespecting him time and time again. She really has no rules!
Hua Fushu glanced at the old general coldly, and walked away without waiting for the old general to scold her.
Ye Songyan chased out and called out to Hua Fushu, "Sister-in-law, you're going too far. After all, grandfather is an elder."
Hua Fushu said, "Elder? Don't talk nonsense. He is your elder, not my elder. Does your grandfather act like an elder? No matter how extreme I am, it is not even a fraction of your grandfather's. Didn't you hear what he said? No one can listen to him."
Ye Songyan knew that his grandfather was wrong, but because of his deep affection for him, he ultimately sided with him. He said, "Then you can't contradict grandpa."
Hua Fushu didn't expect Ye Songyan to be on her side, but his cold and indifferent attitude really disappointed her.
She said, "Little Four, your grandfather called Ye Zelin a bastard and a lowly child. You heard these words. Ye Zelin is your second brother, and you let your grandfather insult him without any reaction. I think this is not the first time your grandfather has said this about your second brother in front of you. You are even used to hearing it. To be honest, I am a little disappointed with your behavior. I don't know what the conflict is between Ye Zelin and your grandfather, or why there is a discord between you and him, but I want to tell you that you should not be too cold-hearted. Moreover, we are brothers, and blood is thicker than water. In the future, if you have difficulties, it is your brothers who can help you without any hesitation. If your brothers have difficulties, it is you, your younger brother, who can do his best to help them."
She glanced at Xiao Si indifferently, said goodbye, and left.
Ye Songyan carefully recalled what Hua Fushu said. She said, don’t be too cold-hearted, especially when they are brothers, blood is thicker than water.
He knew that Hua Fushu's words were not only directed at him, but also at his grandfather.
He thought about treating Ye Zelin as his elder brother, but Ye Zelin might not treat him as his younger brother, otherwise, he would have almost killed him when he was young.
He walked into the house and saw that his grandfather's face was ashen. The old general looked so ugly because he was naturally angry with Hua Fushu, his unfilial granddaughter-in-law. Although he was old, his ears were not deaf, so he naturally heard what Hua Fushu said.
He patted his grandson's shoulder and said, "Yan'er, you don't have to take that little girl's words to heart. Remember, you and Ye Zelin are natural enemies. Either he will trample you under his feet, or you will throw him off the clouds. Don't forget, he almost killed you when you were little."
Ye Songyan said: "I haven't forgotten."
The conflict between him and Ye Zelin started more than ten years ago.
That year, he was three years old and Ye Zelin was six years old.
Ye Zelin mixed croton powder into his food, causing him to have diarrhea and almost lose his life. For the sake of his father, his grandfather had no choice but to punish Ye Zelin slightly.
Later, the brothers became estranged, and their grandfather disliked Ye Zelin because of this.
Hua Fushu took the Qinzhou specialty 'Peach Blossom Drunk' that Qin Youran brought her to Ruifeng Tower. When the master and his two servants arrived, it was almost noon.
Ruifenglou is one of the more famous restaurants in Fengjing, with four floors. Yu Chisu had booked a private room on the fourth floor, so they went straight to the fourth floor.
Yu Chi Su invited Hua Fushu and others in, and asked the restaurant's maid to serve tea and water.
Hua Fushu took a sip of tea, moved closer to Yu Chisu, and said, "Sister Yu, I have a good friend in the capital. I've called her over too. I'll introduce her to you later."
Yu Chi was in high spirits. She had met a few of Hua Fushu's friends, all of whom were extraordinary people. "Who is it? Are you also in the capital?"
