The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 382 Choosing a Breakthrough

This one sentence poured a bucket of cold water on Ye Jingsheng's joy.

Madam Xiao was very satisfied with the result. She snorted and said, "If I remember correctly, the two children of the eldest branch of the Ye family had reached their wedding date, but because of the great mourning in the family, the wedding date was postponed. How come the grandchildren can all care about their deceased grandfather, but you, as a son, don't care about the father-son relationship at all? If this matter gets out, the Ye family will become a big joke."

As she spoke, she looked at Ye Jingsheng, "Of course, the great mourning cannot completely block your path. Why not do the same as the children and postpone the wedding for another two years, and then make plans after the great mourning is over."

"No!" Ye Jingsheng waved his hand and said firmly, "Absolutely not! Ten days later, not a day more. Since there is a big funeral in the family, then there will be no need to arrange a wedding. Just register the household registration and bring the baby into the house. This way, it will not disturb the deceased. As for not getting married during the funeral... it doesn't count as a marriage, because in my heart she has long been my wife, and our children have grown up. How can it be considered a marriage today! I married her fourteen years ago, and now I am just bringing her back home. No one who knows about this will find it unreasonable."

Madam Xiao was so angry that her liver ached. She reached out and tapped Xiao Shubai's head twice. "You have been unable to win over your husband's heart for twenty years. You are so stupid that no one can help you. Forget it. Today, I have said what I should say and lost face. After all, you and your wife have to solve your own affairs and live your life. But Xiao Shubai, remember, you are the legitimate daughter of the Ningguo Marquisate. Even if your father is gone, you are still the legitimate daughter of the old marquis, with a noble status! She can't share the same status with anyone just because someone says they are equal to you! You are still the second wife of the Ye family, the wife of the head of the Ye family, and the mistress of the family! So you have to show your momentum and live your life well!"

Madam Xiao shouted for a while and finally left. Xiao Shubai sat on the ground and cried for a while. Madam Ye reminded her with disgust: "If you want to cry, go back to your own room. This is Fuluyuan. What's the point of crying here?"

After that, he said to Ye Jingsheng, "Since the date has been set, let's go to the government office to change the household registration. Although it cannot be handled by the public, we still have to have a formality in our house. At least let the servants in the house get to know the new second wife, and... how old is the child? The same age as Hongzhuang, right? Then she will also be called the Third Miss."

Xiao Shubai raised his head suddenly: "She called the Third Miss, what did Hongzhuang call her? Even if they were born in the same year, the month and day are different."

The old lady glanced at her with a look of disdain, "Your daughter is now the Princess Su. Even if she returns to visit her parents, we can only address her as the Princess Su. The position of Third Young Lady is of no use to her, so why not give it to Wushuang?"

Xiao Shubai gritted his teeth and stood up from the ground, "Okay, we will make room for her, and from now on we will only address her as Princess Su. But please remember what I said today, Hongzhuang is no longer the third daughter of the Ye family, so no matter how rich and glorious she is in the future, she has nothing to do with the Ye family, and nothing to do with you, old lady!"

The old lady laughed when she heard it, "Do you still expect your daughter to be rich? Okay, then you can expect it! But if something happens in the future, don't think of including the Ye family." She didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Shubai anymore, and only focused on instructing Ye Jingsheng, "A concubine is also a wife, different from a concubine, so the children of a concubine are also legitimate children in the mansion. From now on, the concubine will also make decisions on the affairs of the mansion. The legitimate daughter should be trained well, and the master hired for the fifth girl should be sent to Wushuang!"

When Liu heard this, she sighed in her heart. She knew that the mansion would never pay attention to her daughter again.

But it doesn't matter, her daughter's mind is not on this. Although she didn't think highly of Ye Chulian and Ye Wenyan being together at first, now she thinks that instead of being manipulated by the mansion and getting involved in these muddy waters, it is better to hold on to Ye Wenyan as a backer, which will definitely make her more successful in the future than relying on the Ye family.

Ye Jingsheng naturally had no objection to this. He was very happy. Although Old Madam Xiao had made a scene, fortunately he won in the end. Today was a really good day. He would leave the house soon and tell Xue Qiao and Wu Shuang the good news.

The crowd at Fulu Courtyard finally dispersed, and everyone went back to their own courtyards. Mu pulled Ye Feizhou all the way to Yujing Garden, and ordered the servants to immediately clean up another courtyard in the west for the second young master to live in.

Ye Feizhou wanted to talk to Ye Wenyan several times. In his opinion, everything that happened today was very strange. Ye Wenyan was not a person who acted impulsively. Since he had so decisively removed him from the second house today, there must be a reason for it.

Unfortunately, Ye Wenyan didn't even look at him the whole time, and Mu was talking to him the whole time, so he had to put the matter aside for the time being.

Ye Feizhou was not the only one who had the same doubts, Zhuier as well. The little girl endured it all the way until she returned to her own courtyard and accompanied Ye Wenyan into the house. Then she asked in a low voice: "Miss, you want the second young master to come to our place. Is there a purpose?"

Ye Wenyan gave her an approving look, "Little girl, you also know how to analyze things carefully." Zhuier smiled embarrassedly, "Following the Fourth Young Lady, you can't just be brave without brains. Madam Ji has told me that I am now someone the Young Lady can trust, and I must always think about the Young Lady and plan everything one step ahead of her. Unfortunately, my brain is not very good, and I definitely can't be one step ahead of the Young Lady, so I can only think about what the Young Lady has done a few more times. Even today's matter, I thought about it several times and still couldn't understand it, but I still think that the Young Lady would not separate the Second Young Master from the Second House for no reason, there must be a reason."

Ye Wenyan nodded, "There is indeed a reason, but I also feel sorry for my second brother. What good will happen if he follows his parents? He will either be beaten to death or murdered. It's better for him to follow us. He is working for us anyway."

Zhuier thought this was right. The Second Young Master was already close to his young lady, and now that cousins had become real siblings, they would definitely be closer. With the help of the Third Prince, the young lady would have more help in the future.

But... "Why does Miss want to help the Second Master to find a concubine? The current Second Madam is not good, and the new Second Madam may not be much better. I think that those who can live with a person like the Second Master must be of the same kind. There is a saying that goes, fish seek fish and shrimp seek shrimp, and turtles and mung beans are from the same family. In the future, there will be two Second Madams who will go against us. Will the life of the First House become more difficult?"

Ye Wenyan was taking off a small braid in her hair. When she heard Zhuier's words, she laughed, "Who did you learn all these from? Come on, it's quite rhyming."

Zhuier didn't understand, "What do you mean by duck luck?"

She thought for a moment and said, "It's just a catchy word. As for the new lady coming into the mansion, whether it's a good thing or a bad thing is still uncertain."

Zhuier stuck out her tongue. "That's fine. Beating one is the same anyway. Beating two will make a pair. We can deal with them together when the time comes. Miss, please sit for a while. I'll go see how the lunch is prepared. We've been sitting in Fulu Courtyard for a while, and it's already noon. The mansion didn't even invite Madam Xiao to have lunch. When I saw her leave, her face was so drooping that it seemed to be drooping to her feet." The little maid happily left the room, and soon Nanny Ji came in.

"Madam, you must have heard about what happened over there!" Ye Wenyan finished undoing her braids and turned to look at Madam Ji, "What do you think?"

Nanny Ji brought some snacks to her and put them on the table before saying, "The old lady's courtyard is leaking a lot right now. As Madam Xiao is making a fuss, the news is spreading. I'm afraid everyone in the mansion knows about this now. I don't have too many opinions, but I think the young lady wouldn't help the second master for no reason. There must be a reason behind this."

"What do you think is the reason, Madam?"

Madam Ji smiled and said, "This old servant is just guessing, young lady, just listen. This old servant thinks that young lady is not helping the second master, but suppressing the second lady, or even suppressing the Xiao family."

Ye Wenyan also smiled, "Madam is indeed very insightful. Zhuier, that little girl, still needs to learn more from you."

"Miss, you are too kind. I have only eaten more salt and seen more things in my life. But if you want Zhuier to learn more, I can take on the responsibility. Not only Zhuier, but also all the servants in this courtyard, please rest assured, I will take on the responsibility. As for suppressing the second wife, I would like to ask what you think."

Ye Wenyan pinched a piece of dessert and put it in his mouth, eating while saying: "Actually the reason is very simple. I want the truth from the second house. If I want to know what they have done, they will definitely not tell me if I just ask them normally. But both of them must know about that matter, so I have to choose one person as a breakthrough point. Compared with Ye Jingsheng, Xiao Shubai is obviously more suitable."

"Young lady is right. The Second Madam is not a member of the Ye family after all. She will not be as principled as the Second Master in many matters. Now that the second wife is about to come in, her position is no longer secure. If she can be suppressed any more harshly, she will probably have to quarrel with the Second Master."

Ye Wenyan smiled, "Don't worry, there are more cruel things to come! How could the concubine who has endured for so many years be a simple character? What's more, she is pregnant with a child. By then, everyone in the Ye Mansion will have to put her first, and Xiao Shubai's existence will be even more meaningless. Only by pushing a person to a dead end can she completely give up on this man. Once she gives up, then the things she has done with this man will not be so important. I am just waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Xiao Shubai to take the initiative to ask me for help..."
