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

Chapter 454: Neither of them is easy to deal with

"What are you thanking me for? Since we are family, it is your duty to save her." Ye Jingsheng was furious. He ignored what Ye Wenyan said and walked over to pull Ye Wushuang up.

But Ye Wushuang couldn't get up. Not only did he not get up, he also pulled Ye Jingsheng and said, "Father, when the earth dragon turned over, mother was seriously injured. Thanks to the fourth young lady for helping her, I must kowtow to her. Father should also thank the fourth young lady. She is our benefactor."

"What Fourth Miss? She is your fourth sister. You are the elder sister, so she should be the one to perform the ceremony."

Ye Wushuang shook his head, "Father, think of this as being all for me and mother. We just got married today, so we must follow the proper etiquette and thank the people we should thank. Father, please do this for me!"

Ye Jingsheng was helpless and glared at Ye Wenyan fiercely, "You're just going to watch your sister kneel down and kowtow to you?"

Ye Wenyan spread his hands, "What else?"

"What do you mean? Hurry up and help her up! She is your sister, there is no such thing as a sister kneeling before her younger sister!"

"Everyone in Lin'an who has received my kindness has knelt before me and kowtowed to me. Even the Right Prime Minister has helped me a lot because I helped his mother-in-law. Is it that my second uncle is the only one in this city who doesn't know how to be grateful?" Ye Wenyan snorted coldly, "If I didn't ask her to kneel, I shouldn't have helped her up. If my second uncle wants to help, he can do it himself."

After saying that, he looked at Ye Wushuang again, "When I saved your mother, you already thanked me, so you don't need to thank me again, especially not in an occasion like this. The old lady is still sitting in the main seat, and you just came in. If you want to kneel, you should kneel to the old lady first. If you are really sensible, you shouldn't kneel directly to me."

Seeing Ye Wenyan's gloomy face, Ye Wushuang seemed very panicked. He quickly turned around and knelt down in front of the old lady again, wiping his tears and saying: "It's all Wushuang's fault. Wushuang doesn't know the rules and etiquette. Wushuang kowtows to the old lady and apologizes to her!"

Ye Jingsheng did not stop them when they kowtowed, but he still scolded Ye Wenyan fiercely: "It's all your fault, you are such a jinx!"

After hearing this, Madam Mu couldn't stand it any longer - "How could it be my daughter who caused this? Our Yan'er was sitting here quietly, not saying a word, but it was your daughter who knelt down and cried and made a fuss. What does our Yan'er have to do with it? Besides, you are the second uncle, and even if the eldest daughter of the first house needs to be disciplined, it should be done by me as a mother. It is not your turn to say that she is a jinx."

"I am the head of the family! I have the power!" Ye Jingsheng shouted loudly. He felt very embarrassed that the Mu family challenged him. "Now that your eldest wife is neither the head of the family nor the mistress, you have no right to speak in this family!"

“Don’t I have the right to speak?” Mu snorted coldly and stood up.

When she stood up, Ye Feiyu, Ye Qingmei, and Ye Wenyan all stood up as well. Ye Feizhou also took a step forward side by side with Ye Feiyu and glared at Ye Jingsheng together.

"Please respect yourself, second uncle!" Ye Feiyu said loudly, "Personally, she is your sister-in-law. Publicly, she is the widow of a general from Northern Qi. No matter from which side, you have no right to talk to her like this."

Ye Feizhou said, "Second uncle got his wish today and brought his concubine into the family. Before he even bowed to grandmother and offered her tea, he had a fight with the first wife. Maybe you think this is a display of your power as the head of the family, but in the eyes of others, you are not distinguishing between the important and the unimportant, disrespecting the mistress and being inconsiderate to the newcomer. This incident actually did not cause any loss to our first wife, but it left a bad impression on your new wife and illegitimate daughter in front of the family. How big of a grudge does Second uncle have against them?"

"You..." Ye Jingsheng was about to speak, but saw Chang Xueqiao pulling him and shaking his head slightly at him. He suppressed his anger, snorted, and pulled Chang Xueqiao and Ye Wushuang to the old lady.

Chang Xueqiao knelt on the ground, saluted the old lady earnestly, and called out, "Mother." Then her voice choked and she wiped away her tears like Ye Wushuang.

"My daughter-in-law Chang has served the master for many years and gave birth to a daughter for him, named Wushuang. Although she has lived away from home these years, she has always been thinking about my mother. Every day, I wonder if my mother is living well in the mansion, whether she is used to the food, and whether the servants are working well. The master said that my mother has lived in the mansion for decades and is naturally used to everything, so he told me not to worry about it. But I just can't let it go. I always think that if I can enter the mansion one day, I will accompany my mother carefully, serve her tea and wash her feet, and do everything myself."

The old lady was originally very unhappy with what happened just now, and was also very disgusted with the fact that Ye Wushuang knelt down when he saw Ye Wenyan.

She is the old lady in this family. The first thing the newcomer does when entering the house is not to pay respect to her, but to pay respect to Ye Wenyan. She is still sitting here. Isn't this a slap in the face? Is Ye Wushuang ignorant, or is Ye Wenyan too domineering?

But now, listening to Chang Xueqiao's words, for some reason, her eyes suddenly turned red. She thought that if her daughter could be born safely and grow up smoothly, would she be able to serve her tea and wash her feet? Would she be able to stay by her side all the time? Even if she got married, she could bring her little grandson back home and let her enjoy the joy of family.

Unfortunately, her daughter died, squeezed to death in the womb by her eldest son.

She felt sad, and when she saw Chang Xueqiao raised her head, her eyes were full of intimacy and sincerity. Her emotions were immediately involved, and she felt that only her daughter could say such words and serve her so carefully.

All the previous dissatisfaction disappeared, and the more he looked at Chang Xueqiao, the better he felt about this daughter-in-law, and the more he looked at her, the more comfortable he felt. Feeling comfortable, he took off a bracelet from his wrist and handed it to Chang Xueqiao, saying kindly and gently: "Today you are married, it is a great joy, and I specially wore the bracelet my mother gave me on the day of my wedding. Now I pass it on to you, no matter how expensive it is, the meaning is different. I don't have many things I brought from my mother's home, and I value this bracelet very much because it was my mother's most beloved thing. I hope you can wear it well and pass it on to your daughter-in-law in the future."

After saying "daughter-in-law", the old lady's eyes were already on Chang Xueqiao's belly. The meaning was already very clear, that is, she hoped that she could give birth to a boy for the Ye family.

How could Chang Xueqiao not understand her thoughts? Her face immediately turned red. She took the bracelet and said with tears in her eyes, "I will never let my mother down and will definitely carry on the family line for you."

The servants began to serve tea, one cup for Chang Xueqiao and one for Ye Wushuang, and the two of them offered tea to the old lady in turn.

Ye Wenyan watched this scene coldly, pulled Ye Qingmei over and whispered, "Did you see that? This mother and daughter are not easy to deal with. They made a scene as soon as they came in, and they did it under the pretext of thanking me. They seem to be people who value gratitude and righteousness, but in fact, they provoked another dispute between the first and second houses, embarrassing both sides."

Ye Qingmei was not stupid, so she understood everything. She nodded and said, "Especially Ye Wushuang, who even dragged Second Uncle to thank you. Do you think she doesn't know what our relationship is with the Second House? I don't think it's possible. They are about to get married, so how could no one tell them about the situation in the Ye Mansion? So she did it on purpose, to make Second Uncle even more annoyed with you. But Yan'er, tell me, why did she do this? Even if she wanted to fight, she would go after the Second House. What does it have to do with us?"

Ye Wenyan smiled, "Of course she has her own ideas. After all, everyone in our eldest house is a legitimate daughter, and they have the halo of their father shining on their heads. But what is she? The third daughter of the Ye family? That's what the family calls her. To outsiders, she is just the illegitimate daughter of my second uncle, the daughter of my second uncle's concubine who has been raised outside for many years. Our status and position are much higher than hers, do you think she will fight for it?"

Ye Qingmei took a deep breath and felt that this family was in a mess. Thinking about the matter of the Fu family, she was even more upset. Yesterday, her mother promised her that she would cancel the marriage. She didn't know what method her mother was thinking. Could this marriage be canceled?

Chang Xueqiao had finished serving tea to the old lady. In addition to a bracelet, she also received a silver note worth one hundred taels.

Xiao Shubai looked at the banknote coldly, feeling very uncomfortable. She had never received a banknote since she married into the Ye family, and the old lady had never given her such a meaningful bracelet. Now the old lady treated a concubine like this in front of her. Wasn't this a slap in her face?

After drinking the new daughter-in-law's tea, it's time to drink the granddaughter's tea.

Ye Wushuang stood up, took two steps forward, knelt down, and took the tea bowl from the maid, but did not rush to hand it to the old lady. Instead, she opened the lid first, took a look, and then closed the lid. She held the tea bowl in her hand and shook it gently. No one in the Ye family knew what she was doing, but only Chang Xueqiao lowered her head and smiled slightly.

When the lid of the tea bowl was opened again, Ye Wushuang finally raised his hands and handed the tea to the old lady. The old lady leaned over and took a look. She was shocked at the time: "Is this... the skill of dividing tea?"

The ordinary tea has changed at this moment, and it has created a scene in the bowl. The old lady felt that the scene was familiar, and then she heard Ye Wushuang say: "My granddaughter has quietly stood at the gate of the First-class General's Mansion more than once, thinking that this should also be my home, but when can I return to this home? I also want to be with my grandmother, even if it is just to talk to her, which is the filial duty of a granddaughter. Unfortunately, I don't have that blessing. I have waited for many years and have not been able to see my grandmother, but I have memorized the scene outside the First-class General's Mansion. Grandma, this tea is the main gate of the general's mansion, which is to make you smile and express my expectation for this home."
