My bad father married a princess, my mother divorced me, and I became the group's favorite

Ye's mother's Chunhuiyuan.

It was summer, and the cicadas in the yard were chirping and making people feel annoyed.

"Mother Song, what do you think we should do with Liu?" Old Madam Ye asked the maid beside her.

"The old lady is kind-hearted, and you have always doted on the lady and the young lady. I believe you will arrange it."

Mother Song smiled but didn't dare to offer any advice.

"Well, if it were up to me, I would just leave her in Jiangnan. However, I am really worried about Wenbo. What if Liu goes to the capital and ruins Wenbo's future? What shall I do?"

"That's what the old lady is considering."

"Hey, you can't blame me for being cruel. If it really doesn't work, I'm afraid I can only let her get sick and let her stay here for two years. Hey... I won't... I must not let it affect my son!"

Mother Song was shocked by what Ye's mother said. She didn't expect that the mother and son of the Ye family were so cruel that they planned to torture the lady until she was seriously ill and unable to go to the capital.

The Ye family had no servants in the past, and the courtyard they lived in was not the three-story courtyard they live in today.

This courtyard and all the servants in the house were all purchased by Master Liu for his daughter when Liu Yunniang married into the Ye family. The house deed and the indenture were both tightly held in Liu Yunniang's hands.

Naturally, Mother Song's indenture contract was also in Liu Yunniang's hands.

However, as time went by, Ye's mother seemed to have regarded these as belonging to the Ye family.

"Mother Song, please ask the doctor from Ningshou Hall to come over," Mother Ye ordered.

"Is the old lady feeling unwell right now?" Mother Song asked with concern.

"It's fine with me, go ahead and ask for it."

Old Madam Ye waved her hand, signaling Mother Song to leave quickly.

To be honest, Old Madam Ye really couldn't bear to part with her daughter-in-law Liu Yunniang.

This daughter-in-law has always been filial to me and has never been bad for me in terms of food, clothing and other expenses. Over the years, since she married Liu, her life has become much better.

After leaving Chunhuiyuan, Mother Song realized that the old lady was not sick, but she asked her to invite a doctor. It was obvious that she was planning to give the lady strong medicine!

Mother Song was extremely anxious, but she could not openly disobey Mother Ye's orders, so she could only ask the doctor to come first and then find a way to inform the lady.

Mother Song invited the doctor from Ningshou Hall back, but was driven out by Mother Ye. She could not bear it any longer, so she quietly went to Liu Yunniang's yard.

When Mother Xu saw Mother Song coming over stealthily, she knew something must have happened, so she hurriedly welcomed her into the house and asked a maid to watch at the door.

Mother Song didn't have time to exchange pleasantries before she told Mother Xu what had happened: "Mother Xu, this is bad. The old lady just asked me to invite the doctor from Ningshou Hall and even sent me away on purpose. I'm afraid this is going to harm the young lady!"

When Mother Xu heard this, her expression instantly became serious and she asked, "The old lady has always been kind to the young lady, so it shouldn't be possible."

Mother Song sighed, "I didn't dare to think about it at first, but the old lady told me today that she was afraid that the young lady would go to the capital to find her son-in-law, so it's better for her to be sick."

Mother Xu frowned, thought for a moment and said, "I'll go inform the lady, you go back quickly."

Mother Song nodded, but didn't dare to stay for long, fearing that the old lady would look for her soon, so she left in a hurry.

When Mother Xu returned to the room, she saw her daughter accompanying the little girl in practicing calligraphy. The mother and daughter were in harmony.

But the matter was of great importance, so she dared not delay any further. She said to Liu Yunniang worriedly, "Miss, the mother and son of the Ye family are too cruel. Just now, Mother Song came over and said that the old lady had invited a doctor from Ningshou Hall, and she had deliberately sent Mother Song away. I'm afraid they are going to drug you, young lady!"

Liu Yunniang was panicked when she heard this, and couldn't help but shed tears, "Will my mother-in-law really be like this?"

Mother Xu comforted her distressedly, "My dear young lady, you can never know a person's heart from his appearance. The old lady is your biological mother, so she is on your side. Otherwise, why wouldn't she have said a word to you until now?"

Alas, who could have thought that the son-in-law who had always been so caring towards the young lady was actually the scum who abandoned his wife and daughter, and the old lady who usually cared for the young lady was also cruel and vicious, all because of the young lady who had taken good care of them for so many years.

Seeing that her mother was a little unconvinced, Ye Xiaoxiao felt a little worried, fearing that her mother had fallen into a trap.

While going to the bathroom, he secretly touched the jade pendant on his neck and entered the treasure space.

This space is very large. Ye Xiaoxiao has not yet completed her tour of the entire space. There is a hazy mist all around, and an exquisite pavilion stands in the center.

Ye Xiaoxiao walked into the pavilion, which was filled with rows of neatly arranged medicine cabinets, each drawer labeled with its name and instructions for use.

She casually opened a drawer and saw round and crystal pills inside, emitting an enchanting aroma, but none of them were what she was looking for.

Ye Xiaoxiao opened several drawers in succession and found that the pills and potions in each drawer were different. Some pills were shining with golden light, while some potions were colorful.

After searching through several drawers, Ye Xiaoxiao finally found what she was looking for.

"You are the one."

The bottle had "Water of Truth" written on it.

This thing is very simple to use. You just need to gently drop this water into the other person's tea, and then she will have to speak her mind truthfully and will definitely not be able to lie.

After finding what she wanted, Ye Xiaoxiao quietly came out of the bathroom and returned to her mother's room.

At this time, a maid hurried over to report: "Madam, the old lady wants you to come over."

Upon hearing the news, Liu Yunniang frowned slightly, but still stood up and prepared to go.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaoxiao immediately grabbed the corner of her mother's clothes and said coquettishly, "Mom, I'll go with you. I haven't paid my respects to grandma yet. Grandma must miss me too. Take me with you, mom."

Ye Xiaoxiao made full use of her talent for acting like a spoiled child, winking at her mother as she spoke.

Liu Yunniang was so pestered that she could not refuse and had to agree to take her with her.

Along the way, Liu Yunniang was worried and silent.

Ye Xiaoxiao noticed her mother's mood and asked softly, "Mom, what's wrong?"

Liu Yunniang hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Xiaoxiao, when we get to your grandmother's yard, don't eat anything or drink any water, okay?"

Ye Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully: "Why?"

Liu Yunniang said worriedly: "Because..."

He swallowed the words back when they came to his lips, and finally just sighed helplessly.

If possible, she also hoped that Mother Song was worrying too much. After all, her mother-in-law had always treated her like her own daughter for so many years, and she didn't want to think that people were that bad.

Ye Xiaoxiao said obediently: "Okay, I'll listen to mother, but mother, you too, don't eat anything. If grandma tells you to eat, I will protect you."

Seeing her daughter patting her chest with her chubby little hands to assure her, Liu Yunniang couldn't help but smile.

She gently touched Ye Xiaoxiao's head and secretly sighed in her heart: This girl is so beautiful that people can't help but love her. Fortunately, she still has a daughter.

"Yunniang, please sit down. Xiaoxiao is here too. Come, come to grandma. I will ask someone to bring you your favorite cakes."

Old Madam Ye greeted the mother and daughter with a smile.

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at her adopted grandmother, who was acting in front of her, acting so caring and loving towards her mother, and felt a little disgusted.

She thought to herself, this old lady is really good at pretending!

When I was a child, I read fairy tales and the wicked queen turned into a witch and tricked Snow White into eating the poisoned apple. I think this was what she looked like.

However, she won't be fooled as easily as Snow White!

Thinking of this, Ye Xiaoxiao's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"Grandma, Xiaoxiao wants to drink water."

Ye Xiaoxiao said with an innocent look on her face.

When Mrs. Ye heard this, she said to Ye Xiaoxiao gently, "Okay, grandma will ask someone to get you some water right away."

As she spoke, she winked at the maids beside her, signaling them to go forward and pour tea for Ye Xiaoxiao.

However, Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly shook her head and said in a baby voice, "No, I don't want it. I want to pour it myself. I will do it. Grandma, please believe me. I will be able to serve you in the future."

After saying this, she blinked her big watery eyes and looked at Old Madam Ye expectantly.

Old Madam Ye stopped trying to stop Ye Xiaoxiao after she acted like a spoiled brat. The little girl was so pretty and had a chubby face. She thought it would be great if she had a grandson. She agreed, "Okay, okay, grandma believes in you. Then you can do it yourself."

After getting the old lady's permission, Ye Xiaoxiao smiled proudly, then broke free from the old lady's hand, ran to the table, picked up the teapot, and carefully poured water into the cup.

She used her sleeve to cover herself and silently dripped the potion of truth into the cup.

Watching Ye Xiaoxiao pour one cup first, and then without stopping, she poured another cup, and tremblingly walked towards Old Madam Ye with the first cup of tea.

When the maids nearby saw this scene, they immediately became nervous, fearing that Ye Xiaoxiao would accidentally burn herself, and hurried forward to help her take it.

Ye Xiaoxiao shook her head, "No, I want to serve it to grandma myself, grandma, drink it."

Old Madam Ye sat aside, quietly observing Ye Xiaoxiao's actions, with a hint of surprise and admiration in her eyes.

"Okay, grandma, drink it. Our Xiaoxiao is really amazing."

Seeing Old Madam Ye take a sip, Ye Xiaoxiao also felt relieved.

I also picked up the cup and took a few sips. Then I showed a satisfied expression and continued in an innocent tone: "Thank you, grandma. The water here is really delicious."

Who can not like a sweet-talking child?

Old Madam Ye gently stroked Ye Xiaoxiao's furry head and turned to look at her daughter-in-law, Liu.

"Hey, Yunniang, I'm sorry for you. Wenbo just returned home when he was called back to Beijing for official business. He didn't even have the chance to see you and your daughter. Don't blame him!"

Madam Ye said tentatively.

Liu Yunniang really didn't want to pretend to be magnanimous here with Old Madam Ye.

Thinking of the mother and son's plan, she didn't want to sit here for a moment. Before she could open her mouth, she heard her mother-in-law suddenly stand up as if possessed by evil spirits, pointing at her and starting to insult her.

"Liu, my son has become a high-ranking official in the capital, and his future prospects are limitless."

"The princess in the capital has arranged a marriage for my son."

"You are a girl from a merchant family, so you are not worthy of my son. If you honestly ask to be divorced, I will reluctantly take you in and live with you in my house for your retirement."

"Xiaoxiao is my granddaughter after all. If you honestly hand over the property your father left you before he died, I will take her to the capital."

Old Madam Ye was so frightened when she heard the words coming out of her mouth that she was stunned. What was going on?

What's going on? Why am I saying these things?

She hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands to stop the words from coming out.

Old Madam Ye looked at Liu, who was completely frozen because of what she said, and looked at her with eyes full of disbelief.

He shook his head desperately at Liu, determined to appease her. The Liu family's property had not yet been settled.

Without caring about anything else, I opened my mouth subconsciously, and the words that came out of my mouth were,

"Liu, if you are smart, you should quickly hand over all the Liu family's property. When my son and the princess get married, I will help you go to the capital and make you a concubine, so that you don't have to live a lonely life here."

"If I hadn't relied on your Liu family's wealth, do you think I would have tolerated you just because you gave birth to a girl in the past few years?"

"Hmph, if you're willing to hand over your property, fine. If you're not willing, the medicine has already been given, and you can expect to be bedridden from now on..."

Old Madam Ye wished she could sew her mouth shut. Just at this moment, a little maid came in with the tonic that she had ordered to be prepared in advance. She hurriedly prepared to explain that this medicine must not be revealed to anyone.

"Humph, if you drink this medicine, you will wait for death in Jiangnan from now on."

The maids and old women in the room were all stunned. What was going on?

Is this old lady crazy?

"Madam, you are going too far."

Mother Xu and Chunxi were already furious. They thought that the old lady had been kind to their young lady for so many years, and thought that maybe she was coaxed by her son-in-law. After all, he was their son, so they could understand it.

But who could have expected that the mother and son were both so cruel.

After so many years, the kindness of their young lady is actually worse than feeding it to a dog.

"Hmph, don't think I don't know. All of you have relied on your status as Liu's people to ignore me and my son. When Liu dies, none of you dogs will be spared. I will sell you all out..."

Once these words were spoken, all the maids and old women in the house were offended.

"I, wuwuwuwu..." Old Madam Ye covered her mouth tightly with her hands. She didn't dare to let go. She was going to die. What happened to her?

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

Ye Xiaoxiao looked at the old lady's reaction and laughed in her heart. This old lady was more powerful than she thought!
