Old Madam Gao continued, "So, Lin'er's wife doesn't agree. Since ancient times, it has been common for men to have three wives and four concubines. How can you, a woman, stop this?"
Hua Fushu didn't want Qingdai, this ignorant peach blossom, to be an eyesore beside him, so he bowed to the Buddha statue and said, "Grandma, please remember that I am Ye Zelin's principal wife. It was me, the eldest wife, who arranged for him to take a concubine. Why should you, a grandmother who is not even a grandmother, worry about it? Even if he wants to take a concubine, I will not agree to let Qingdai enter the family."
She deliberately emphasized that the four words "aunt grandmother" were stretched out, especially the word "aunt".
Old Madam Gao was so angry that she pointed at Hua Fushu and scolded him, "What did your parents teach you? You are disobedient to your elders! You have no manners whatsoever as a wife. You are like your parents, and so are your daughters."
Hua Fushu glanced sideways, anger burning in his almond-shaped eyes. He took a step towards Old Madam Gao, his eyes fixed on her.
The old lady took a step back, fearing that Hua Fushu would do something bad to her, and was about to call for help.
Hua Fushu sneered, "Old lady, you're old enough to still be meddling in other people's affairs. It hasn't been long since your sister died, and you're already rushing to marry your brother-in-law, even calling it 'taking care of your sister's orphans'. Bah! You really think you're so noble and everyone flatters you, but you deserve to be childless forever."
Hearing this, Mrs. Gao felt dizzy.
Hua Fushu thought she was pretending, so he turned around and left. He really didn't want to say a word to this old lady. But as soon as Hua Fushu walked out of the Buddhist hall, Mrs. Gao's eyes went black and she fainted on the ground.
Qingdai wiped away her tears outside, but saw Hua Fushu leaving in a hurry. Fearing that something might happen to Old Lady Gao, she hurried back to the Buddhist temple.
But he saw Mrs. Gao fainted on the ground, so he called someone in to help and sent Mrs. Gao to Rong Xi Tang.
Old Madam Gao was placed on the couch. Qingdai asked her maid to invite Ouyang Jingming and others over, and she treated and gave acupuncture to Old Madam Gao.
When Ouyang Jingming and others came over, Old Mrs. Gao just woke up.
When she saw Ye Zelin, Old Lady Gao grabbed his hand and said bluntly, "Brother Lin, your wife is crazy! She's crazy! She says everything! She's crazy! She's crazy!"
Seeing that Mrs. Gao was very excited, he took some effort to calm her down, and then asked how Qingdai was.
Qing Dai said, "Brother Lin, the old lady was not in good health to begin with. She is now like this because she was frightened."
When asked what happened, Qingdai said, "I'm not sure, maybe Miss Fushu offended the old lady with her words."
Flowers are lush?
Ye Zelin kept repeating her name in his mind and asked about what happened. Qingdai told him everything, but omitted the incident of Hua Fushu beating her. She did not mention the words that Old Lady Gao said to Hua Fushu, but only said that the old lady sent her regards to Hua Fushu.
Ye Zelin told the old lady to have a good rest, promised to give her an explanation, and then went to look for flowers to support her.
Ouyang Jingming asked Qingdai to write a prescription and sent someone to get the medicine.
When Ye Zelin arrived at Luoxiaxuan, Hua Fushu and Sanqiao were just about to go out.
Because he provoked Peach Blossom, the old lady gave her a hard time. Hua Fushu was already unhappy and cursed: "A good dog doesn't block the road, why are you blocking my way?"
Ye Zelin was naturally furious after being scolded by Hua Fushu for no reason, but he endured it and said calmly, "What did you say to my great aunt that made her faint from anger?"
Hua Fushu was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile. Seeing her smile, Ye Zelin asked coldly, "What are you laughing at?"
Hua Fushu replied, "I laugh at how everyone in this family, from the oldest to the youngest, is an opera expert. It would be a shame if they didn't go to the stage and sing a few pieces."
Ye Zelin glared at her coldly, "You have no remorse. Not only are you rude and shameless, you are also stubborn and disrespectful to your elders, and you are committing a crime against your superiors!"
Hua Fushu smiled again, "Yes, you are upright and elegant, you have courtesy, righteousness, integrity and respect for elders. You are the most upright and dignified person."
She glared at Ye Zelin, "Do you think I'm as spineless as you? I didn't even say anything when people called me a bastard and insulted my parents. Your great-aunt has such long arms that she even extended them to other people's homes and put on a good show."
She was annoyed with Ye Zelin and kicked him in the calf. Ye Zelin almost lost his balance, but Hua Fushu clapped his hands and walked forward.
Sanqiao glared at Ye Zelin, wanting to spit in his face. "Mr. Ye, you're the one who caused trouble for me, and now my daughter has to suffer. The master and his wife have also been implicated."
After saying that, he glared at Ye Zelin again before following Hua Fushu.
Ye Zelin stood there blankly, as if he understood something, but also as if he didn't understand something.
Si De walked out of the courtyard and greeted Ye Zelin before saying, "Sir, the young lady looked unhappy when she entered Luoxia Pavilion. Si De heard from afar that the young lady and San Qiao were talking about taking a concubine. Yes, a concubine."
Taking a concubine?
Ye Zelin suddenly realized and then smiled. Side didn't understand why he was laughing.
Hua Fushu and the other person left Ouyang's house and headed towards the street. Since they were in a bad mood, they naturally wanted to find something good to eat to relieve their bad mood.
The moonlight was as soft and calm as water. The six or seven-foot-tall forsythia in the Luoxiaxuan courtyard blended in with the moonlight, and only a faint and elegant fragrance filled the air.
Hua Fushu returned under the moonlight, holding a cake wrapped in oil paper in her hands. Suddenly, she stopped and saw a hazy figure in the moonlight. "What are you doing? Ye Zelin, don't you know that scaring others can kill them?"
Ye Zelin came towards her, his handsome features gradually becoming clearer and clearer, bathed in the soft moonlight. He was no ordinary man. He smiled and said, "If you don't come back, I'm afraid I'll go look for you."
Hua Fushu was surprised. It was already past the normal time, but Ye Zelin didn't go to rest because he was waiting for her.
Is he worried about her?
"Why are you..." She hesitated to speak.
He said, "I'm waiting for you."
Hua Fushu immediately gave him a cold look, "Why, are you afraid that I'll get lost or die? You can't explain it?"
Ye Zelin ignored her words and said, "I'm sorry about what happened today."
Hua Fushu didn't expect that Ye Zelin was waiting for her just to apologize to her.
She was originally angry, but after she calmed down, she wouldn't continue to pester him. "Nothing."
She handed the snack in her hand to Ye Zelin, "Consider it as an apology for my leg. I am also wrong in this matter. Your aunt is old, and I shouldn't have angered her as a younger generation. I will go and apologize to her when she gets better."
Ye Zelin said, "My great aunt took the initiative to take a concubine for me, causing you trouble. This matter is caused by me, and I will handle it myself."
Hua Fushu smiled and said, "You will naturally have to deal with the things you caused."
Ye Zelin turned and walked back into the house. After a few steps, he suddenly asked, "Fushu, do you know the traditions of the Ye family?"
Hua Fushu was puzzled, so he continued, "It is the tradition of the Ye family that no man in the Ye family can take a concubine unless there are special circumstances. I will not take Qingdai, and I will never take a concubine in my entire life."
After saying that, he went into the house.
Hua Fushu was stunned for a long time before he recovered. He scratched his head and looked at Sanqiao, "Qiao'er, what does this guy mean?"
