After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

If she wanted to betray Old Madam Ye and tell him something she wanted to know, it wouldn't be enough just to do it with her son's hands.

Ye Qingyu tapped the tabletop with her jade fingers and thought for a moment, "Can you find out which gambling house his son works in and who the owner is?"

"In the east of the city, in Lingquan Lane, who is the owner of the Laicai Casino? This subordinate has not yet found out."

"Well, it doesn't matter. If you can find it, that's the best. If you can't, it doesn't matter either."

He just wanted to make a deal with the gambling house. I think such things should be very common in their gambling house.

"Yes, I will investigate this as soon as possible."

Mo Hua had just finished speaking when Wan Qiu pushed the door open and walked in. "Miss, the Second Young Master sent someone to ask you to go to the ancestral hall."

"Second son?"

"Second cousin is back?"

Ye Qingyu was stunned for a long time before she remembered who the second young master was.

After all, she hasn't seen her second cousin Ye Zimo since she was reborn.

In her previous life, she was not very familiar with this second cousin. He followed his third uncle to do business in other places. Most of his third uncle's business was in Yangzhou in the south, and he would only come back once every one or two years.

She remembered that the reason why her third sister-in-law returned to Kyoto alone was because her third uncle fell in love with a courtesan in Yangzhou last year, brought her home, and doted on her like the apple of his eye. The two had a big fight, and her third sister-in-law returned to Kyoto in anger.

Seeing her young lady looking a little dazed, Wan Qiu smiled and reminded her, "Young lady, you haven't seen the Second Young Master for over two years. This time, the Marquis is getting married, and the Second Young Master and the Third Master are back. You weren't at the mansion these days, so I didn't tell you."

Ye Qingyu has not been in Kyoto these days and just returned to the Marquis' Mansion yesterday. Wanqiu would not bother her with these trivial matters. Her young lady has been tired and has lost a lot of weight these days. The young lady and the third house have never been close, so she took the initiative and did not report it.

Ye Qingyu nodded, "It's been many years since I last saw my third uncle and second cousin."

She remembered that in her previous life, she had never seen anyone from the third house since she married into the Fourth Prince's mansion. It was also when her third aunt got married that her third uncle came to attend the wedding banquet. When he left, he took her third aunt back to Yangzhou.

In the previous life, Lord Ye and Chen Yinyin got married. Did her third uncle and second cousin come back?

It had been so long that she really couldn't remember.

"Since it's my second cousin who invited us, let's go over and take a look."

Ye Qingyu got up, changed into a suitable dress, and went to the ancestral hall with Wanqiu and Mo Shu.

The door of the ancestral hall was opened, and the seats were already full of people. The third uncle's family, the second uncle's family, the three clan elders, and Lord Ye were all seated.

Ye Qingyu was the last to arrive. She bowed politely and said, "Qingyu greets all the elders."

Uncle San was a bit fat, with a chubby face. When he smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits. "Qingyu is here. Alas, I haven't seen you for two years. You've grown up."

Uncle San smiled and stood up. He took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and handed it to Ye Qingyu. "Uncle San only found out about your engagement with His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu when I arrived in Kyoto. Your wedding will be next year. I came in a hurry and didn't prepare any gifts for you. Please accept this money. If you need anything, just buy it yourself."

Ye Qingyu was also a little stunned. She had never seen anyone giving these yellow and white things as gifts directly. As for the aristocratic families like them, they were aloof and proud, and they paid the most attention to their reputation. In the eyes of the aristocratic families, this act of directly giving silver was extremely vulgar. Who would do such a thing in public?

Her third uncle is quite interesting.

Ye Qingyu took it without hesitation and said with a smile, "Thank you, Third Uncle."

Ye Zimo stepped forward and bowed to apologize, "I'm sorry for disturbing my cousin's rest. I hope you will forgive me."

Ye Zimo has a slender figure, handsome face, and a businessman's shrewdness in his eyes.

Ye Qingyu smiled and said, "Second cousin, you are so polite. I am just bored. I wonder why Third Uncle and Second cousin called me here?"

Looking around, seeing the dark face of Lord Ye, Ye Qingyu guessed what her third uncle's family was up to when she heard that they were coming to the ancestral hall. They just said it out loud to make things more difficult for certain people.

Uncle San smiled and said, "Please sit down first. Everyone is here. Big brother, elders, we can start now."

Ye Qingyu sat down and saw that Marquis Ye's face was livid. He spoke with a cold tone, "Third brother, are you really going to split up? Right now, the Marquis' Mansion is in trouble and in a precarious situation. As members of the Ye family, we should work together to maintain the glory of the Marquis' Mansion. You want to split up at this time? What are you thinking?"

Uncle San was not annoyed, but continued to smile. "Big brother, you see, I'm a useless person. I just do some business in the south. I'm also a concubine's son. Zimo is also unmotivated. He worked hard for all these years and only passed the imperial examination. He's not good at either literature or martial arts. He can only learn business from me. In the future, he can have a meal and not starve to death. He doesn't have the ability to help the Marquis' Mansion."

"We have become a burden to the Marquis' Mansion. We can only make a living there. We haven't been in the mansion for all these years and can't fulfill our filial duties to our mother. It would be better for us to take advantage of this return and separate the family to reduce the burden on the Marquis' Mansion."

Before, the second branch had already been separated, and now the third branch was also going to be separated. The whole family was divided into pieces like this. The elders sighed and said, "Well, third brother, if you are determined to separate, we agree."

"Uncle!" Lord Ye roared in a low voice.

He didn't want the third branch to be separated. The elders of the clan didn't know this, but he knew it very well. The third brother's business in Yangzhou was booming. Now that the second brother's family had been separated, he was just a sixth-rank official. The little capital of the Marquis' Mansion was almost used up. Seeing that Ye Qingyu was about to get married, no matter how much he disliked her, he had to send some dowry to show face, and all of this required money.

Although the third brother does business in the south all year round and is not often in the mansion, he still brings back a lot of money every year. If he divides it up, where will he find such a huge income?

The Third House naturally knew why Lord Ye was unwilling to let them split up. Ye Zimo said, "Uncle, I remember when my grandfather passed away, he said that after he passed away, if father and second uncle wanted to split up, there was no need to stop them."

"Whether we split up or not, we are all from the Ye family, all from the Ye clan. Father and Second Uncle are not legitimate sons, so you are the heir to our Marquisate. Our Marquisate's rules have always been that after a concubine's son gets married, he must split up and become self-reliant."

Ye Zimo looked at the elder, "Elder, am I right?"
