Ye Qinglin rushed forward and slapped Master Ma.

Ye Qinglin used 30% of her strength in that slap, and Master Ma was sent flying five steps away, with his cheek swollen.

Young Master Ma cursed in pain and quickly got up from the ground: "Who is so brave as to hit me?"

"Me!" Ye Qinglin stood in front of Master Ma with her hands on her hips, ignoring the servant beside him: "Master Ma, I told you before, don't bother my sister, otherwise I won't let you go."

When Mr. Ma saw Ye Qinglin, his eyes widened, and a trace of greed flashed across his eyes: "It turned out to be A-Lin."

"Alin is prettier than before. I heard that the Xie family was confiscated and exiled, and you and Xie Silang divorced. The Ye family in Beijing doesn't want you, so you came back to the Gu family, right?

It's a pity that your parents were exiled to Cangzhou. Now there is no one who can help you. Why don't you follow me? I can let you live a good life."

As Master Ma was talking, he reached out his hand and wanted to touch Ye Qinglin's face.

Seeing the lewd smile on Mr. Ma's face, Ye Qinglin slapped him again without any hesitation.

"Mr. Ma, if you know what's best for you, get out of here. Otherwise, I won't be polite to you!" Ye Qinglin spoke each word with a warning.

Young Master Ma didn't take Ye Qinglin's words to heart at all, and said arrogantly: "Ye Qinglin, it's your blessing that I like you. You, a divorced woman, think you can find a good family to marry? Dream on!

Everyone in Zhulin Town knows that you, Ye Qinglin, were recognized as your ancestors by the Ye family in Beijing and married to the Xie family whose property was confiscated. Even if you are good-looking, those rich and powerful families would never dare to marry you!"

Ye Qinglin sneered, not wanting to waste time talking to Master Ma, and punched him in the stomach.

Master Ma was beaten to the ground and fainted after a while.

Seeing this, the servant was so frightened that he cried out, looked at Ye Qinglin with fear, and quickly carried Master Ma on his back and left.

At this time, the door of Gu's house opened from the inside, and Gu Qingyu looked at Ye Qinglin who was standing at the door with a cold gaze.

"What are you doing back?"

"Don't you think it's not enough to harm your parents?"

"When you left, you said you would never look back home."

When she finished speaking, Gu Qingyu growled and tears began to fall.

Ye Qinglin's voice was choked with sobs. She looked at her extremely haggard sister with red eyes. Her mouth moved a few times, but she couldn't utter a word.

At first, she was arrogant and well-raised because her adoptive parents were in business. She thought she should be matched with a well-educated young man.

But those young masters had no interest in her, and some young ladies from wealthy families even belittled her because of her background, which made her feel uncomfortable.

So when the Ye family came looking for her, Ye Qinglin wanted a family with a strong background, so she left the Gu family.

Even so, her adoptive parents never blamed her. After learning that she was getting married, they even gave her a dowry of 6,000 taels of silver.

A tear fell from the corner of her eye. Ye Qinglin bit her lip, walked quickly to Gu Qingyu, and hugged her with open arms.

"Ayu, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't have said those words. I hurt your feelings. Wuwuwu..."

Hearing Ye Qinglin's crying, Gu Qingyu felt distressed and angry. She wanted to push Ye Qinglin away, but when she realized that Ye Qinglin was pregnant, she was worried about hurting her, so she just let her hold her.

Seeing that Gu Qingyu didn't say anything, Ye Qinglin said with tears in her eyes: "Ayu, you are right not to forgive me. I am such a selfish person that I don't deserve to be a part of the Gu family."

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyu became angry on the spot and slapped Ye Qinglin on the back of her hand.

"What nonsense are you talking about! Do you really want to make my parents feel uneasy? Can you erase the relationship we have had for so many years by saying that you are not worthy of being a member of the Gu family?"

Ye Qinglin paused, blinked, and tears as big as beans fell on the back of Gu Qingyu's hand.

"Humph, you're almost a mother, but you're still so unstable. If my parents and brother knew about this, they would definitely scold you."

Gu Qingyu's words stunned Ye Qinglin. She opened her mouth slightly, blinked twice, and said excitedly: "Ayu, you... forgive... me?"

Gu Qingyu snorted and turned her face away proudly: "I just don't want the baby in your belly to be a crybaby, I didn't say I would forgive you."

"I know, I know." Ye Qinglin smiled and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Her sister has been arrogant since she was a child, and even if she forgave her, she still said unpleasant things to her.

Gu Qingyu pursed her lips and snorted: "You don't know!"

As she finished speaking, her eyes fell on Xie Xu and Chen who were standing not far away, and she frowned.

"they are?"

"My mother-in-law and husband." Ye Qinglin answered with a smile and turned to look at Xie Xu and Chen.

Hearing the voice, Gu Qingyu paused, eyes wide open.

"Are they Madam Xie and the Fourth Young Master?"

Ye Qinglin nodded slightly: "We passed by Zhulin Town, and I came here specially to see my parents and you, but I didn't expect..."

Having said this, Ye Qinglin lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and looked sad.

Gu Qingyu couldn't bear to see Ye Qinglin like this, so she grabbed her arm and said proudly, "As the saying goes, everyone who comes to our house is a guest. It's a rare occasion for you to come, so I have to greet you anyway."

While speaking, Gu Qingyu took a special look at Ye Qinglin. Seeing that she looked good and had gentle features, Gu Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly invited Ye Qinglin and the other two to come in.

Seeing the empty house, Ye Qinglin was stunned. She opened her mouth to say something, but Gu Qingyu interrupted her with a light word.

"Something happened at home before. In order to smooth things over for my parents, my brother and I sold all the valuable things in the house. Now there is only an empty shell left."

Hearing this, Ye Qinglin felt a sharp pain in her heart and tears came to her eyes again.

At this time, Xie Xu came to Ye Qinglin's side, gently stroked the back of her hand with his bony fingers, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Alin, don't cry, my little sister will be worried if you see me."

"No way! I'm still a crybaby just like before." Gu Qingyu snorted and turned away from Ye Qinglin.

Ye Qinglin knew Gu Qingyu's personality, so she took a deep breath and stopped crying.

Then, Gu Qingyu went to the kitchen to prepare food for them.

After dinner, Ye Qinglin came to Gu Qingyu's previous room to have a few private words with her.

After looking around the room in her memory, Ye Qinglin sighed and quickly came back to her senses: "Ayu, I'm worried about you being alone at home, come with me."

Gu Qingyu shook her head: "I want to wait for my brother to come back."

Ye Qinglin sighed helplessly: "You are alone at home, and Mr. Ma always comes to cause trouble. I can protect you now, but what about after I am gone? I don't want anything to happen to you, and neither do my parents and Ajin.

Also, I heard from my aunt that my parents were exiled to Cangzhou. It just so happens that the Xie family was also exiled to Cangzhou. Then we can go together to look for my parents."

Gu Qingyu hesitated a little, raised her head and looked straight at Ye Qinglin: "What about my brother?"

"I will ask the people from Mingyue Villa to look for Ajin." Ye Qinglin whispered softly.
