Chapter 119 The Ye Family Feels Not Indebted
Qin Kerou vented her anger only after she returned to the Ye family.
When Yunyang Hou Ye Cheng saw her like this, he hurriedly asked what happened at the banquet.
"My Lord, you didn't see how arrogant Gu Ruanci was. Not only did he mock me, he even told me about how my second brother used Ye Hesheng's private property to marry my sister-in-law. It really embarrassed me."
Ye Cheng's expression changed immediately, and he asked seriously, "Really?"
"Do I really need to fool you with such words? I think this damn girl came back just to make us unhappy. She didn't feel any sadness when the old lady of her family died. Instead, she went out and flaunted herself all day long. I think she was in a very good mood. Father still wanted her to come to the Ye family to recognize her relatives, but it's impossible. She has a grudge against the Ye family! It wasn't her mother who killed her grandmother. She only came into the family after her death. Is she really mad at us?"
The more Qin Kerou thought about it, the angrier she became. In fact, she wanted to say that this was all because of her elder sister-in-law Ye Lanxin.
"Father, you didn't see how arrogant Gu Ruanci was at the banquet. My second uncle and I said all the nice things before, but she gave us a cold shoulder. You said she was angry then. Do you still say that now?"
Ye Lingyue felt upset when she recalled being ridiculed by Gu Yuxuan in person at the banquet.
Ye Chenglei also said: "Father, there is really no need to acknowledge this cousin."
Ye Cheng had already sensed the resentment of the three of them and sighed.
"We should consider this matter in the long term and see how the situation develops."
"What situation are you looking at? Just because she's done all these things since she came back, she doesn't have the bones to be filial. If she really lets her recognize the Ye family as her relative, who knows what will happen to the Ye family in the future."
Qin Kerou complained for a while and was almost going crazy from being suppressed in the Wen family.
She was about to continue speaking when a servant came in to report that the old master and the old lady had asked them to come over because the second lady was making a fuss.
"Alas, I couldn't hide it after all..."
Ye Cheng complained and set off with his family.
In the main hall of the Ye family, Ye Keguan and Pan looked at Shang Hongmian questioning Ye Chi with grim expressions, while Ye Chengyun hid aside and didn't dare to make a sound.
When Ye Cheng's family arrived, Shang Hongmian found a new breakthrough.
"Sister-in-law, we are all daughters-in-law in this family, so I believe you more. Back then, my master used Ye Hesheng's private property as a betrothal gift for me. Did you know that?"
Qin Kerou had no time to complain and could only consider the overall situation first.
"Who told you this?"
She glanced at Ye Chengyun who was shivering beside her, and actually knew what was going on.
"Sister-in-law, why bother worrying about insignificant things at this moment? If Cheng Yun doesn't say anything, then no one else will? Since Gu Ruanci said it in front of everyone at the banquet, it will spread throughout the Dizhou sooner or later. Do I still have this dignity? How am I going to go out and meet people in the future?"
The more Shang Hongmian thought about it, the angrier she became. She was angry at the Ye family's deception, angry at her own late realization, and angry at the way Gu Ruanyi had spoken.
Ye Chi looked at Qin Kerou with embarrassment. He could plan everything outside, but this incident was indeed beyond his expectations.
This soft word has no rhythm at all.
That incident back then not only involved the Ye family, but also the Duke of Shou and his wife.
Gu Runci has just become the adopted daughter of the Gu family. Doesn’t she care about the face of Gu Congyun and Zhuang Hefeng?
"Sister-in-law, I just found out about this..."
Qin Kerou was lying after all. She found out about it soon after she got married and gradually took over the family business.
"So what do you think?" Shang Hongmian was furious.
Ye Keguan felt a little guilty, not only towards Shang Hongmian, but more towards his deceased daughter Ye Hesheng.
Pan had no time to observe those things at this moment. She was more concerned about how the eldest daughter-in-law would persuade the younger daughter-in-law.
"Sister-in-law, when I heard what Gu Ruanci said just now, I was actually a little confused, even angry. I thought about your possible reaction when you heard the truth, and I can understand it. You are the daughter of the princess, and you never need to fight for what you want."
This word "grab" made Ye Chi very nervous, but Shang Hongmian was very pleased. She felt that Qin Kerou could understand why she was angry.
"Sister-in-law, you understand me..."
"But..." Qin Kerou continued, "Have you ever thought about why Ye Hesheng took out the property given to her by the late Madam?"
Shang Hongmian didn't react, so he asked, "Why?"
"Have you forgotten that the man you were supposed to marry was the Duke of Shou? It was Ye Hesheng's good sister Zhuang Hefeng who also had a crush on Gu Congyun. It just so happened that my second brother fell in love with you at first sight and wanted to marry you. In order to bring her sister and Gu Congyun together, Ye Hesheng took advantage of my second brother's feelings for you. At that time, both my father and mother disagreed. After all, our Ye family disdains to snatch someone's marriage. This is what your eldest brother just told me."
Shang Hongmian was stunned. She looked at Ye Cheng sincerely, "Brother, is this true?"
Ye Cheng perfectly accepted Qin Kerou's lie: "Of course, back then, my second brother even thought that if he couldn't marry you, he would never marry again. It was also at that time that Ye Hesheng proposed to use her private property as a betrothal gift to marry you, which impressed your father and the princess. But think about it, when Ye Hesheng got married, didn't our Ye family give her a generous dowry? She has already used up everything her mother left her. These were all prepared by her mother, so the Ye family doesn't owe her anything... The same goes for you and my second brother."
After Ye Cheng said this, Shang Hongmian hesitated for a while.
In theory, it seems to be true.
"If that's the case, why is Gu Ruanci so arrogant? She acts like our Ye family owes her something!"
"Hasn't she always been like this? It was Ye Hesheng who wanted to leave back then. Neither the Zhou family nor our Ye family had any intention of driving her away. I don't know what happened to them after they left, but everything that Gu Ruanci went through should be blamed on Ye Hesheng, that irresponsible mother, instead of blaming us, who have nothing to do with her."
Shang Hongmian calmed down. All her anger was dissipated by Qin Kerou's words.
Based on Ye Chi's understanding of her, she believed it.
"This Gu Ruanci is really just hoping for chaos. If she doesn't want to recognize the Ye family after returning, she should just behave like a stranger. She had to create such a scene to disgust me. I haven't settled the score with her for bullying my son before..."
After Shang Hongmian spoke, even Mrs. Pan breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Ye Keguan was still immersed in the guilty feeling he had just felt.
What exactly had Gu Ruanci been through during those years? His eldest daughter-in-law said they had no responsibility, so how could he, as a grandfather, not have any responsibility?
