“My dog Ah Huang brought back stray puppies from outside and treats them like treasures. But the young mistress’s parents are treated worse than dogs. It’s so abnormal.”
“Yes, even adopted children wouldn’t be treated like this. Young Madam should investigate her background. Everyone, please help think of any suspicious things that happened before or after her birth.”
Some people shouted, "Lord Ye, Madam Ye, please have some decency and let the young mistress go."
Regardless of whether she is your biological daughter or not, you have wronged her in many ways, yet she has only exposed you today; that is more than enough.
"Yes, there are gods watching from above, Heaven is seeing everything..."
The voices of the people made Ye Zhengqing and his wife very uneasy, but Ye Zhen was determined to report to the authorities.
Ye Zhengqing finally made the decision: "If you insist on severing ties, even your parents can't stop you."
Although the switch was done discreetly, there's always a chance something might go wrong, and this matter absolutely cannot be blown out of proportion.
but.
“I can’t give you the estate. The Ye family isn’t wealthy, and your mother and I can’t stay at the general’s mansion forever. We need some money to support ourselves.”
Now that you've acquired half of the Marquis's estate, you shouldn't be short of this little bit of money.
"When my aunt left, she was still worried about me, so she asked a nun from a nearby temple to take care of me and teach me some skills to make a living."
I worship my aunt as a deity, and I want to become a useful person like her, and also learn from her to do good deeds.
Over the years, I've taken in many homeless children and raised them in the nunnery, doing my best to nurture them.
Ye Zhengqing, a miser, interrupted her, "Where do you get the money to raise a child?"
Could it be that they've squandered the village's income?
Knowing what he was thinking, Ye Zhen explained, "Before my aunt left, she gave the nun a sum of money. I used that money to learn how to do business and made some income. The nunnery also contributed a lot."
Father can check the estate's accounts and see that I haven't touched any of the estate's money. If you're still worried, you can check now.
The village sends a considerable amount of money every year, which matches the village's income situation.
Ye Zhengqing was worried that he wouldn't find anything and would only gain a reputation for being mean, so he kept quiet and didn't say anything more.
Ye Zhen continued, "Ali, who was captured by my mother yesterday, is sixteen years old this year and has already passed the imperial examination. He studies hard every day, hanging his head from the beam and pricking his thigh with an awl, just to serve the court in the future."
If her father hadn't rescued him in time, the daughter dared not imagine what would have happened to him.
Sui Sui, who was stabbed by Wan Tang's guards, is twelve years old this year. She has a natural sensitivity to the smell of medicine and is an expert in planting medicinal herbs.
If the children hadn't been quick and agile, she might have already lost her life.
Ah Niu is incredibly strong, and Chun Ni's slingshot never misses its mark; they each have their own special skills.
The daughter sent them to Beijing because she herself was mediocre and could not become as outstanding as her aunt. She wanted the children to do their part for the peace and prosperity of Dayuan and to secure a future for themselves.
But my mother, upon learning that one of the children knew me, deliberately slandered and hurt me without asking any questions.
Ye Zhen said it half-truthfully.
By exposing the children to the public, she could prevent them from being easily harmed and die silently, just like in her previous life.
She asked Ye Zhengqing, "If Mother doesn't even spare the children, how can Father guarantee that she won't take her anger out on the people in the manor?"
Not to mention the Wang family, even Ye Zhengqing himself was scheming about how to deal with those people in the southern village.
They dared to lie about Ye Zhen's situation.
The couple exchanged a glance, about to make excuses, when Ye Zhen said, "I have been on the verge of death several times, all because of you. I have long since repaid the debt of life."
Now all I want is the manor where I grew up, to protect the people there from your harm. Your attempt to take my life is simply forgotten.
Influenced by the hierarchical relationships between ruler and subject, father and son, although it was illegal for parents to harm their children, it was usually not investigated by the authorities unless the people complained.
If Ye Zhen insists on filing a lawsuit, although he will not be punished as severely as in a typical murder case, Ye Zhengqing's official position will certainly be lost, and the couple may have to spend another year or two in jail.
Therefore, Ye Zhen's request was not excessive. Ye Zhengqing glared at Wang Shi, blaming his mother-in-law for acting recklessly yesterday.
He hesitated, reluctant to give up the estate. Xie Tingzhou felt sorry for Ye Zhen, who would have to deal with these people as soon as he woke up.
Wanting her to return to the mansion to rest early, he said loudly, "It is said among the people that General Ye Wantang of the General's Mansion is kind-hearted and virtuous, and has the demeanor of a Crown Princess."
I wonder if Miss Ye is aware of her cousin's situation, and what her opinion is on her cousin's request?
He looked precisely at Ye Wantang, who was hiding behind the wall.
Ye Wantang had no intention of showing herself. Upon hearing his voice, she tried to leave through the side door, but a figure blocked her way...
