Not long after the two of them left, Ji Yunxi came back: "Sister-in-law, I just saw Ji Yue and her mother here, what were you talking about?"

Ye Zhihan slowly stood up, pulled Ji Yunxi over and said, "It's nothing serious, let's go back first."

On the way back, Ye Zhihan asked casually, "Xiao Xi, are you familiar with Miss Ji Yue just now?"

"No, sister-in-law! Many people come to make friends with me because of my identity as the eldest daughter of the Ji family, and Ji Yue is the same, so I really don't like her. Why do you suddenly ask this, sister-in-law?"

"It's nothing. As long as our Xiaoxi understands it, it's OK." Seeing that Ji Yunxi's mind was as clear as a mirror, Ye Zhihan felt relieved and did not mention what had just happened.

Arriving at the hall, almost everyone had gathered. Ji Hanzhou was talking to someone, but Ye Zhihan did not come forward to disturb them. Instead, he and Ji Yunxi found a seat to sit down. Knowing that Ye Zhihan did not like the tedious affairs of the aristocratic family, Ji Hanzhou did not come over either.

Occasionally, a few ladies and young ladies came over to say hello. Fortunately, with Ji Yunxi by his side, Ye Zhihan was able to handle it calmly.

At the dinner table, Ji Hanzhou simply introduced everyone to Ye Zhihan. After all, in his opinion, she didn't need to get to know these insignificant people.

Considering that Ye Zhihan ate a little more in the morning, Ji Hanzhou rarely picked up food for her.

However, Ji Hanzhou's "thoughtful" action did not expect that it would cause trouble for Ye Zhihan.

After lunch, Ji Hanzhou whispered in Ye Zhihan's ear: "If you are tired, let Yunxi take you back to your room to rest for a while. I have to go to the study to discuss something."

Ye Zhihan nodded slightly: "It's okay, don't worry about me, just go and do your thing."

As Ji Hanzhou's wife, Ye Zhihan thought it would be more appropriate to stay in the living room. Listening to these ladies constantly comparing their jewelry, brand-name bags, and showing off their husbands' love, Ye Zhihan felt bored to death, so she decided to ask Ji Yunxi to go out for a walk with her.

"Sister-in-law, please wait for me for a moment. I have evening self-study later. I'll go upstairs to change clothes first. When brother comes down, I'll go back to school." After Ji Yunxi said this, she hurried upstairs.

Ji Yue, who had been waiting for an opportunity, saw the right moment, walked towards where Ye Zhihan was, and said in a sarcastic tone, "Oh, Miss Ye, you are alone again."

Ye Zhihan put down the teacup in his hand and spoke slowly, his voice cold: "I think you should know how to address me."

Ji Yue was unconvinced and snorted coldly: "Hmph, don't act like the wife of the head of the family here. My cousin doesn't take you seriously at all."

Ye Zhihan remained calm and said, "As a human being, we must have the most basic qualities, which is not to judge others casually."

"You, you, who are you calling uncultured? You are just relying on your appearance of a vixen to seduce men. Unfortunately, my cousin doesn't fall for your tricks."

At this time, Ji Yue's mother also walked over and said, "If you ask me, Han Zhou is also confused. There are many famous ladies in the capital, but in the end, he chose a girl from Lancheng."

Ye Zhihan stood up, looked directly at Ji Yue and her daughter, and said in a loud voice: "Apologize to me."

"Hmph, what if I don't? I want to see what the daughter of the Ye family in Lancheng can do to me. I heard that Miss Ye's family is from a family of scholars. Miss Ye's mother was also quite famous when she was young, but she also married a businessman in the end. Now Miss Ye is even worse. She actually chose the largest wealthy family in Beijing for marriage. Hmph, what a famous family, but it's just a seduction relying on the appearance...ah!"

"How dare you hit me." The young woman widened her eyes, her face full of disbelief.

The noisy commotion instantly attracted a lot of people to come and watch.

Ji Yue's mother immediately cried out in a hypocritical manner: "Madam, what are you doing? Yueyue was just joking with you. I don't know how she irritated you, but you can't hit her."

Ji Yue threw herself into her mother's arms and cried, "Mom, I just saw Auntie here alone, and I didn't go over to chat with everyone because I was afraid she would be bored... I don't know what I said to make Auntie unhappy, isn't it enough for me to apologize?"

The crowd who were watching the fun began to discuss: "This new lady looks so weak and timid, but I didn't expect her to hit someone."

"She is just relying on her status as the wife of the master of the house to bully others."

Ye Zhihan had been patient again and again based on the principle that less trouble is worse than more trouble, but now he could no longer tolerate it: "You are wrong. I, Ye Zhihan, do not need to rely on anyone's power to beat people."

"you!......"

"That's enough. The Ji family is not a place where you can do whatever you want!"

Ji Yunxi just went downstairs and saw the scene of her sister-in-law beating someone. In her impression, her sister-in-law has always been an extremely gentle woman. What did the mother and daughter do to force her sister-in-law to take action?

"Sister-in-law, are you okay?"

Ye Zhihan gave Ji Yunxi a reassuring look and shook his head gently: "It's okay."

"Sister."

Ji Yunxi said "hmm" softly: "Ji Yue, this is your aunt."

Even though Ji Yue was very reluctant, she could only call out obediently: "Auntie."

At this time, Ji Yue's mother said, "Yunxi, Yueyue was just joking with the new lady just now. Who would have thought that the new lady was not easy to tease and hit Yueyue. This girl cares most about her face. The new lady..."

Ji Yunxi was so angry that her face turned red. "As the wife of the head of the Ji family, what's wrong with my sister-in-law punishing the younger generation in the family who don't know the rules?"

"No, it's the new lady..."

Ye Zhihan glanced over with a cold gaze: "What do you mean by new wife? Did Ji Hanzhou have a wife before?"

"Who is talking nonsense in front of my wife?" Ji Hanzhou walked over quickly, held Ye Zhihan's hand, and kneaded it gently. He said affectionately: "I will only marry you as my wife in this life."

Just now, the servant saw Ye Zhihan beating someone, and didn't dare to speak rashly. Later, he realized that something was wrong, so he hurriedly notified Butler Zhong. After hearing the news, Ji Hanzhou hurried over and heard these words as soon as he arrived.

Ji Hanzhou looked up again, but the tenderness and affection in his eyes were no longer there.

Ji Yue and her daughter immediately felt that the situation was not good, and they remained silent.

The others were just watching the fun. After all, they were also very curious about what kind of position this newly arrived wife of the head of the family held in the heart of their head of the family.

Mr. Ji knew his grandson's temperament very well and knew that this matter would not be easily resolved. He looked at Butler Zhong and said, "Old Zhong, arrange a driver to take Yunxi to school first."

Then he looked at Ye Zhihan again: "The old man is old, Hanhan, help grandpa up and have a rest."

Ye Zhihan responded meekly: "Okay, Grandpa."

After Ye Zhihan walked away, Ji Hanzhou's cold and distant voice came slowly, "Tell me, what's going on? Think clearly before you speak. If what you say is different from what I found out, you should be aware of the consequences."
