After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

How could such a secret be told out loud, especially in public? It would be disastrous if the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion found out about it!

Lord Ye remained silent.

Old Madam Ye wanted to make up for it, "Third Madam, there must be a misunderstanding. Although Shuwen's last name is Ye, he is from a branch of the Ye family. The eldest son admired his talent and wanted to adopt him as his stepson. He was too expectant and might have said he was his son. It's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. Third Madam, you should know about this. The eldest son must have been confused in wanting a son."

Ye Qingyu scoffed, "It's come to this now. Even if the old lady says it all, the facts are facts, and they can't be covered up by a few lies. I think Chen Yinyin was already pregnant with Ye Shuwen before my mother married into the Qingyuan Marquis's mansion. It was an unmatched affair. The Qingyuan Marquis's mansion has such strict rules. At that time, Marquis Ye even swore to the heavens in front of my grandfather that they would be together for life. It's really ridiculous!"

Madam Ye was humiliated by Ye Qingyu's words and angrily shouted, "Ye Qingyu, I am your grandmother. Who taught you the rules to speak to me like that? Come, take the eldest daughter away and punish her according to the family rules!"

Xu stood in front of Ye Qingyu and said coldly, "Old Madam Ye is so arrogant. Who said Qingqing is from your family? Your Marquis's marriage is a fraud. We, the Zhenguogong Mansion, will not let it go like this. Qingshuang wants to divorce you, the Marquis of Qingyuan. Qingqing is no longer a daughter of your Marquis's Mansion. From now on, Qingqing's surname will be Shen!"

Old Madam Ye was not willing to agree. "Mrs. Shen San, you wishful thinking. Since Shen Qingshuang married into our Ye family, she is a member of the Ye family in life and a ghost of the Ye family in death. Now that she is gone, don't even think about divorce. How can you divorce someone who is dead? I think you are just daydreaming. Ye Qingyu's surname is Ye, and she will be a member of the Ye family for the rest of her life!"

"I think you, an old woman, are just wishful thinking. Even if I have to ask the emperor for an imperial decree, I will definitely demand Qingshuang's tablet and her departure from your Ye family. Qingqing must leave this den of wolves!"

No one expected the Duke to come so quickly. Ye Qingyu saw that her grandfather's beard was about to stand up in anger.

When Lord Ye saw the Duke, his legs went limp with fear and he almost knelt down. He saluted and said weakly, "Father-in-law, I did something wrong when I was young. Chen is my cousin, and we had physical contact by accident. After I was pleased with Qingshuang, I had Chen sent away immediately.

However, I didn't expect her to be pregnant with my child. I only found out many years later. I failed to fulfill my promise to Qingshuang. I ask that, for Qingyu's sake, I forgive you. Now that Qingshuang is laid to rest, please don't bother her anymore. I will do my best to fulfill your wishes. Divorce is detrimental to everyone, and it will have a profound impact on Qingyu. Please reconsider."

The Duke of Guo angrily said, "I shouldn't think twice! You set up a trap to have Qingqing kidnapped. In order to give this kid the credit for saving Qingqing, you wanted Qingqing to express his love and make him Qingqing's stepbrother. I disagreed, and you deceived Qingqing and the second house. You even deceived the elders of the Ye family just to adopt this kid as Qingshuang's legitimate son. At first, we all thought you were crazy, but it turns out we are fools. You were humiliating Qingqing in every way to pave the way for your own son. Isn't Qingqing your own daughter?"

"Ye Wencheng, you are so kind. I was blind to agree to let Qingshuang marry you, an ungrateful person. I should have agreed to let Qingshuang go up the mountain to become a nun. It would have been better than being abused by a bastard like you. It also hurt Qingqing and made her suffer."

"If you had acknowledged Ye Shuwen as your son earlier, I would have agreed to let you acknowledge your son. Why would you bother with so much effort? Qingqing may not be liked by you, but everyone in my Shen family loves her dearly. Even if you don't treat her as your daughter, many in my family still treat her as their own daughter. I mean what I say. Ye Wencheng, it would be best if you agree to a divorce and have Qingqing removed from your Ye family's genealogy. If you don't agree, I will go to the palace and ask the Emperor for an imperial decree. Let's see how your Qingyuan Marquisate can still hold its head up in the eyes of the people of Kyoto!"

Madam Ye was not willing to give in and roared, "Duke Zhenguo, don't go too far. My son has already admitted his mistake. What else do you want? The emperor is a wise ruler. How could he issue an imperial decree for such an absurd thing as yours? Do you think the imperial decree is cabbage? You don't have to threaten my son like this. What did he do wrong? His affair with Yinyin happened before he married Shen Qingshuang, and he didn't go back on his promise. For many years after that, he didn't have a concubine or a maid. Even if Shen Qingshuang didn't give me a son, our mansion never said a word against her. It was her own fault that she died early. What's wrong with my son recognizing his son who is wandering around!"

"You use the power of the Duke's Mansion to oppress my Marquis' Mansion. That's why I must go before the Emperor and accuse you of oppressing the people."

The Duke was furious and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Ye Qingyu. She looked at Old Madam Ye expressionlessly, "Old Madam, there's no need to be so harsh. Whether my grandfather can ask the Emperor for an imperial decree is his business. As for Old Madam, you don't even have an imperial decree. It's unrealistic for you to think of complaining to my grandfather in front of the Emperor."

The people around her laughed at her, and Mrs. Ye was so angry that she almost fainted.

Ye Qingyu was too lazy to pay attention to her. She turned to look at the crying Chen Yinyin, and suddenly smiled brightly. Her voice was faint, "A few days ago, I ran into someone who wanted to file a complaint with the emperor. He said he wanted to file a complaint against the Qingyuan Marquis's Mansion. I was afraid that he would cause trouble, so I took him into my care."

Ye Qingyu suddenly mentioned something so inappropriate that made everyone present feel a little puzzled. Chen Yinyin looked at Ye Qingyu who was looking at her with a smile on her face, and she always felt that there was a cold chill hidden in that smile.

"That man said he was an old acquaintance of the Chen family and came to Kyoto just to look for you. Why don't we ask him to come and identify you?"

Everyone was completely confused. They were just enjoying the fun, but why did Miss Ye suddenly act like a kind person and help others find someone? What was going on?

The old Duke frowned and said, "Qingqing, the matter of you and your mother leaving the Ye family has not been resolved yet. If you want to help someone, it's not too late to do so after this matter is resolved."

Ye Qingyu smiled and comforted him, "Grandfather, don't worry, take a break first."

Madam Ye stared at Ye Qingyu with a bad face, "What the hell are you trying to do?"

Chen Yinyin always felt that Ye Qingyu would not be so kind as to help her. She must have some conspiracy. She said weakly: "Qingyu, you must have been deceived. I don't know anyone here. You'd better send that person away and don't be fooled by his tricks."

Ye Qingyu looked at her with a half-smile, "Since everyone is here, why don't you meet them? Who knows, you might find some surprises when you meet them."
