Marrying for someone else and being a widow? Stepmothers open classes to raise children

Madam Jiang whispered, "Mrs. Deng, look, with the old lady's attitude, it will be hard for us to make up a lie."

Mrs. Deng said worriedly, "That's true. However, we can only bite the bullet now. Madam Jiang, you go in first and I will cover for you."

The night is as dark as ink and the lights are bright.

The old lady sat in the main seat in the main hall, with a serious look on her face, and ordered someone to break open Ye Yinli's door. The loud noise of the door breaking startled everyone in the mansion, and they all looked sideways, wondering what had happened.

As the door opened, the old lady walked in with a group of servants. Ye Yinli, the maid Jin Ling and a woman with a birthmark on her face were standing in the room, with different expressions. The woman was disheveled and tearful, obviously frightened.

The old lady stared at Ye Yinli coldly with a dagger-like gaze, and said sternly: "Ye Yinli, who are you? How dare you do such an unlawful thing in the Marquis's Mansion!"

Ye Yinli turned pale and panicked. He quickly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice, "Old Lady, spare me. I...I didn't do it on purpose. I just had a misunderstanding with this woman."

The old lady snorted coldly, turned to the woman and asked, "Young lady, are you willing to be with Ye Yinli?"

The woman lowered her head, her voice trembling, "Old Lady, I was forced by Ye Yinli. He was drunk and forced me into the room. I... I was powerless to resist."

The old lady's face became even more furious when she heard this. She turned to look at Ye Yinli and said, "What else do you have to say?"

Ye Yinli was in a panic and wanted to explain, but he saw Jin Ling suddenly kneel on the ground and cried, "Old Lady, in fact, this is all a misunderstanding. Mr. Ye was drunk that day and accidentally broke into the girl's room, but I found him in time and dissuaded him. Later, the girl might have been frightened and misunderstood Mr. Ye."

The old lady frowned and looked at Jin Ling: "You are Ye Yinli's maid, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Jin Ling lowered his head and cried, "Old Lady, I wanted to inform you in time, but that night, Master Ye was too drunk, so I took care of him until he sobered up, and then I dared to leave. I didn't expect that the girl would misunderstand."

The old lady pondered for a moment and turned to Ye Yinli: "You said it was a misunderstanding, then why is this girl's clothes untidy?"

Ye Yinli gritted his teeth and said, "Old Lady, I was indeed drunk, but I did not do anything improper to this girl. Her clothes were disheveled, maybe she was careless."

Hearing this, the woman burst into tears again and cried, "Old lady, I am disheveled because he took off my clothes by force! I...I was really forced!"

The old lady's expression became increasingly grim. She turned to the servants and said, "Take Ye Yinli away and keep him under strict supervision. Tomorrow, have the Ye family come to the Marquis' Mansion to explain."

The servants responded and took Ye Yinli away. The old lady turned to Jin Ling and said, "You are also responsible for taking care of Ye Yinli. From today on, you will also be confined to your house."

Jin Ling's face turned pale, and he retorted: "No, no, it was actually Madam Jiang who asked me to do this. It was Master Ye who asked me to say this, and it really has nothing to do with me!"

The old lady said seriously: "Go on."

"Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Deng asked me to do this. I didn't expect Jiang Minyun to see through the conspiracy." Jin Ling said without hesitation.

"Okay, I won't wrongly accuse the innocent."

The old lady looked at the other woman and said in a softer tone, "Young lady, you are frightened. Go down and rest first. When the truth comes out, I will give you justice."

She waved her hand and ordered people to seal off the scene, strictly prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving, and at the same time sent people to invite Old Madam Xiao, Marquis of Jing'an. Not long after, Old Madam Xiao hurried over, and when she saw the situation in the house, her face changed drastically.

The old lady said in a deep voice: "Madam Xiao, look at this scene. Ye Yinli's behavior is really despicable. He is the son of the Ye family, the relatives of Master Jiang. He came to the Marquis' Mansion with Madam Jiang. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen."

Madam Xiao nodded, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and said: "Old Madam, this matter is very serious, we must handle it carefully. Since Ye Yinli is the relative of Master Jiang, if we let him go easily, I am afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, Jiang Minyun is the apple of Master Jiang's eye. If she really sees through Madam Jiang's plan, then we should take it more seriously."

Madam Jiang saw the scene in the house, her face turned pale as paper, and her body trembled. The old lady stared at her coldly and said, "Madam Jiang, do you know that your behavior almost ruined the reputation of the Ye family and your daughter?"

Madam Jiang's legs went limp, and she fell to her knees, begging, "Old Madam, I was wrong, I was wrong. I was just impulsive and did this. Please let me go."

The old lady snorted coldly and said, "Since you know you are wrong, you should be punished. Madam Jing'an, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Madam Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Old Madam, I think this matter should be handed over to the government. First, it can show the fairness of our mansion; second, it can also let the Ye family know our position. As for Madam Jiang, since she has admitted her mistake, we can give her a lighter sentence, but we must teach her a lesson."

The old lady nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, let's do it this way. Someone, send Madam Jiang to the government office, and notify the Ye family to come and take Ye Yinli back."

The old lady sat in the main seat with a sharp look in her eyes, holding a silver hairpin tightly in her hand, and ordered the housekeeper in a firm tone: "Imprison Ye Yinli and Madam Jiang immediately, without any mistakes. If they collude with each other in private, it will definitely hinder us from finding out the truth."

The housekeeper was slightly startled when he heard this, and quickly responded, "Yes, old lady." He turned around and went to execute the order. Everyone in the mansion knew that once the old lady made up her mind, no one dared to go against her will.

At the same time, Gu Zhiyi was sitting in the side hall, looking tenderly at her two daughters, Xie Huiyi and Xie Huixuan. Although they were young, they were smart and clever, and were quite favored by Gu Zhiyi.

"Huiyi, Huixuan, remember, no matter when or where you are, you must get the consent of the host before taking any action." Gu Zhiyi said earnestly, "Especially in someone else's home, if you act without permission, it can cause trouble at best, or even put you in danger."

The atmosphere in Dingyuan Marquis's mansion was extremely tense. Jiang Yuanzhao rode in at full speed, his face livid. As soon as he stepped into the side hall, he felt a sense of oppression.

His eyes were as sharp as torches, and anger was burning in them, causing everyone present to hold their breath.

In the side hall, Mrs. Jiang was stunned by Jiang Yuanzhao's behavior, and the burning pain on her face made her unbelievable.

She opened her eyes wide, tears welling up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.
