Chapter 1104: The Tenderness of Prince Xiao (Sixteen)
"Girl, let's go to the old lady's yard quickly!"
The wet nurse and Xuehua were urging Ye Yueying to go over and snatch the marriage back.
Ye Yueying took off her cloak, poured a cup of tea, and drank it slowly: "No, I won't go. If I don't have the foresight to move forward now, I will really bring shame upon myself."
The fact that the second son of the Qi family did not avoid his eldest cousin already shows the attitude of the Qi family.
The fact that the Qi family accepted the invitation today showed that they still wanted to marry into the Wang family. Unfortunately, the marriage partner was the eldest daughter of the Wang family, not her.
She could understand this. Compared to herself, an orphan living in the Wang Mansion, a legitimate daughter of the Wang family was obviously a better choice.
She had never cared about this marriage with the Qi family from the beginning. Now that her cousin had snatched it away from her, she should actually thank her.
But, in the end, I really let my grandmother down.
In Mrs. Wang's yard, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Qi were chatting animatedly.
Seeing how the two men were eager to exchange engagement letters right away, Mrs. Wang was so angry that her liver hurt. She ignored etiquette and said she was not feeling well, and asked the two men to leave.
Mrs. Qi still had some face to save, and she knew that it was not very nice to replace the fiancée at the last minute, so she bowed apologetically to Mrs. Wang before turning and leaving.
As for Mrs. Wang, she secretly hated Mrs. Wang in her heart.
The second son of the Qi family is well-known in the entire Youzhou Prefecture for his appearance, character and talent. For such a good son-in-law, the mother-in-law did not prioritize her own daughter, but instead rushed to introduce him to the orphan girl. She is really ungrateful.
The marriage she had found for her granddaughter fell through, and Mrs. Wang was so upset that she fell ill.
When Ye Yueying found out, she hurried over to visit.
"Grandma, don't be sad. I never had any feelings for the second young master of the Qi family. If my eldest cousin likes him, I'll just give him to her."
Old Madam Wang was lying on the bed, holding Ye Yueying's hand guiltily.
The eldest daughter-in-law was so ugly. She just came up and snatched the girl, who was an orphan niece. How cold and unkind she was!
Ye Yueying comforted her, "Grandma, it's okay. Whether she gets married or not, your granddaughter will live a good life in the future."
Hearing Ye Yueying say that she would not marry again, Madam Wang's face fell: "Good child, the second young master of the Qi family is not destined to be with you. Grandmother will look for someone else for you."
Ye Yueying did not refute the old lady, but simply said: "Then Grandma, you must take good care of your body."
Main courtyard.
Mrs. Wang smiled and sent the Qi family away. As soon as she returned home, she heard her eldest daughter complaining to her.
"What does grandma mean by this? The Qi family has taken a fancy to me, and she's fallen ill. Isn't this just trying to bring bad luck and discomfort to me? Who else has a grandmother like her?"
Miss Wang pouted and said, "Grandma has been partial to us for a long time. We are so unlucky to have such a grandmother!"
Mrs. Wang sneered and said, "What's the point of being partial? In the end, didn't the Qi family choose that orphan girl?" As she spoke, she looked at her eldest daughter with a smile.
"My son, don't worry about these trivial matters. Madam Qi and I have already made an appointment. In two days, she will bring a matchmaker to propose marriage. You should prepare your dowry well."
Miss Wang finally smiled and said, "Mother, the Qi family is a wealthy and powerful family. My dowry cannot be too ugly."
Madam Wang smiled and said, "Don't worry, your mother has already prepared your dowry. She will definitely not let you be inferior to your sisters-in-law."
Miss Wang Er quickly asked, "Mother, what about mine?"
Madam Wang tapped Miss Wang Er's forehead in annoyance and said, "Yours is indispensable." She smiled smugly and said, "Mother has long ago divided the Ye family's wealth into four parts. When your eldest and second brothers got married, she used two of them. You will each get one of the remaining two parts. I guarantee that you will marry in style."
Upon hearing this, Miss Wang Da and Miss Wang Er smiled at each other.
The Ye family was very wealthy. When the treasures were carried into the house, they secretly took a look and saw that they filled more than ten warehouses.
The three of them, mother and daughter, all forgot that the Ye family property belonged to Ye Yueying.
In their opinion, the Wang family has raised Ye Yueying for so many years, so these things should belong to them.
The Qi family was quite efficient. Three days later, Mrs. Qi brought the second son of the Qi family and a matchmaker to propose marriage.
Ye Yueying didn't care about this matter at first. However, on her way to pay her respects to Madam Wang, she heard that Madam Wang had given a red tasseled spear to the Second Young Master Qi. Her face suddenly changed and she ran towards the main courtyard.
"Put down that spear!"
In the main courtyard, the second son of the Qi family was swinging a spear with great vigor, attracting the applause of Madam Wang, Madam Qi, and the two girls of the Wang family.
Just when everyone was in high spirits, Ye Yueying ran in angrily.
Seeing her father's weapon being wielded like a fire stick, Ye Yueying was filled with rage. Without saying a word, she went straight to the second son of the Qi family and reached out to grab the spear.
The Second Young Master Qi hadn't recovered from his shock yet and instinctively swung his spear back.
However, his fancy moves were no match for Ye Yueying.
Ye Yueying grabbed the spear and pulled it hard, letting the spear slip out of Mr. Qi's hand. Then she swept the spear and hit Mr. Qi hard, knocking him back repeatedly. If the servant had not stepped in to hold him up in time, Mr. Qi would have fallen to the ground.
Madam Wang came to her senses and immediately shouted angrily, "Ye Yueying, what are you doing? You are so rude in front of guests. Where is your upbringing?"
Ye Yueying looked at Madam Wang with a cold gaze: "This is my father's legacy, aunt, you are using my Ye family's things as a favor. Where is your upbringing?!"
Mrs. Wang had never expected that her always obedient niece would dare to contradict her in public, especially in front of the Qi family. She immediately became furious and said, "Come here, my cousin has lost her mind! Arrest her!"
When Mrs. Qi heard this, her expression suddenly changed.
If word gets out that an unmarried girl has gone insane, how will she get married in the future?
But she didn't say anything. After all, this was the Wang family's family affair, right?
The maids and old women in the main courtyard all rushed towards Ye Yueying.
When it comes to the Wang family's affairs, Ye Yueying has always tried to make small matters disappear. Firstly, she didn't want to cause trouble for Old Madam Wang, and secondly, she was too lazy to bother with the Wang family.
But today, she didn't want to endure it anymore.
Ye Yueying held the spear in her hand, sweeping and chopping sideways, directly beating the maids and old women in the yard to the ground and making them wail.
Before this, Ye Yueying had never shown her martial arts skills in front of the Wang family. Seeing her display of power today, everyone was stunned.
The second young master of Qi was also stunned. He knew that the girl his family had introduced him to at the beginning was the cousin who was living in the Wang Mansion.
Looking at Ye Yueying's heroic figure when dancing with a spear, Mr. Qi's heart couldn't help but beat fast, and he suddenly felt a little regretful that he had decided to marry the eldest daughter of the Wang family.
"What are you doing?"
Master Wang walked into the yard with his two sons, his face livid. He looked at Ye Yueying, who was holding a spear in the middle of the yard. His eyes flashed, but were quickly replaced by annoyance. "Yueying, what are you doing?"
As he said this, he said to the steward behind him without hesitation, "Go, take the spear from the cousin's hand!"
The steward nodded and walked towards Ye Yueying confidently.
In his opinion, no, in everyone's opinion, since the head of the family, Mr. Wang, had spoken, Ye Yueying would not dare to resist.
However, when the steward was two or three meters away from Ye Yueying, Ye Yueying suddenly raised her spear and stabbed at the steward quickly.
Before the steward could react, the tip of the spear was already against his throat.
Feeling the cold touch on his throat, beads of sweat instantly appeared on the manager's head, and his legs began to tremble with fear.
Master Wang didn't expect that Ye Yueying would dare to take action after he spoke. He was so shocked that he forgot to make a sound.
"Tell me, do I dare to pierce your neck?"
Ye Yueying looked straight at the steward. It seemed that she was talking to the steward, but to the ears of the people present, it felt as if she was talking to them.
The main courtyard fell silent.
After a while, Ye Yueying retracted her spear and walked towards the courtyard gate with an indifferent expression. She stopped when she passed by Master Wang.
"Uncle, the Wang family took me in back then, and I remember that kindness. That's why I didn't say anything when you embezzled the Ye family's property. But you can't touch any of my parents' belongings, not even a single one."
After saying this, he ignored Master Wang's ugly expression and strode out of the main courtyard, leaving everyone in the courtyard in a daze.
