After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Old Madam Ye was not stupid, so how could she not see the purpose of Ye Qingyu's performance?

Ye Qingyu knew that the revenue embezzled by the shopkeeper had gone into her hands, so she was forcing her to return the money, otherwise she would report her to the government. At that time, not only would her reputation be ruined, but the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion would also be in shambles.

The situation of the Marquis' Mansion is not good now. If she hadn't wanted to get close to the Duke's Mansion, why would she have cooperated with that man and married that bitch from the Gu family!

"Grandma, don't be angry. Qianqian will give all the money she earns to you in the future." Lu Qianqian comforted Madam Ye in a soft voice.

Madam Ye held Lu Qianqian's hand, full of relief, "My Qianqian is sensible, unlike that little bitch who only cares about money. If it weren't for Shuwen, how could I allow her to humiliate me like this!"

When Old Lady Ye thought about having to take out the 100,000 taels of silver she had obtained before she even had time to warm it up, her heart ached.

Lu Qianqian has been watching Ye Qingyu receive so many expensive gifts these days, and today she took away 100,000 taels of silver from her grandmother. Her heart is trembling with jealousy. She is also her father's biological daughter and her grandmother's granddaughter. All these should belong to her. Why did Ye Qingyu take them all?

She is not reconciled!

Ye Qingyu didn't care about the mood of the grandparents and grandchildren. She was very happy about the large sum of money she was about to receive. She wanted to drag Ye Qingya and Ye Yanzhi out for a big meal, but the two of them had been with her all day and were really tired, so they went back to their own residence to rest.

Wanqiu watched Ye Qingyu's actions along the way and felt a little worried, not knowing whether to say it.

Ye Qingyu also noticed her worry.

"Why, do you have something to say?"

Wan Qiu paused and said, "Young lady, you are treating the old lady like this. With her astuteness, she must know your purpose. You have offended the old lady, and the Marquis has never paid any attention to you. How can you stay in the Marquis' Mansion in this way?"

The people who have the final say in the Qingyuan Marquisate are Lord Ye and Old Madam Ye. Now the young lady has offended both of them, and her marriage is still in their hands. What should she do if they can control her marriage?

Ye Qingyu picked up the teacup and took a sip. "For so many years, I have tried my best to please them and been obedient. Especially after my mother passed away, I dared not make even the slightest mistake. But, have they been any better to me?"

"This..." Wanqiu sighed softly. They were even too harsh on the young lady.

Ye Qingyu's expression was calm, not a trace of sadness. "If that's the case, why should I bother to please them? As long as the Duke's Mansion stands behind me, they won't dare to do anything to me. My marriage is not something that a mere Marquis' Mansion can decide."

The Duke's Mansion holds military power and is a thorn in the emperor's side. The current emperor will not watch her marry the offspring of a powerful official. It is not that the Duke's Mansion is disloyal. In any dynasty, the emperor is most afraid of the marriage of powerful officials. This is the biggest threat to the imperial power.

Therefore, the final say in her marriage lies with the current emperor.

In her previous life, she was able to marry Shen Mingxiu because in the eyes of the emperor, Shen Mingxiu had no power behind him, and he himself was obsessed with poetry and painting, and did not get involved in the court and did not fight or compete.

Wanqiu could see that the young lady was extremely disappointed with the Marquis' Mansion and no longer had any expectations for them. "I'm glad you have made up your mind."

A day later, the old lady asked someone to invite Ye Qingyu to Chunhui Hall.

"Qingyu, Grandmother recovered the silver from those shopkeepers. They've already spent a lot of it. I'll give you the rest as my responsibility for my mistakes. Is it enough for you to count?"

The old lady asked someone to bring a stack of banknotes to Ye Qingyu.

"Why are you making grandma spend money? Qingyu trusts grandma the most, so there's no need for me to count the money." Ye Qingyu said she was embarrassed, but her men took the banknote without hesitation and handed it to Wanqiu behind her.

"You are such a simple-minded child. Your trust in me really makes me feel guilty." The old lady sighed lamentingly.

"Grandma, this is not your responsibility. Qingyu knows that you were just deceived. You don't have to take it so seriously."

"Ah, grandma just thinks you're a lonely girl. These shopkeepers saw that your mother passed away and you don't even have a brother to support you. They saw that you were easy to bully, so they dared to take action."

"I had them tortured all night long before they confessed. I was just bullying you, a little girl with no one to rely on. Grandma really loves my darling granddaughter."

Ye Qingyu looked at the old lady with admiration, "Grandma, Qingyu has you and father to protect her, so she is naturally not afraid."

Madam Ye looked as if she was disappointed in her son. "Your father and I will be gone one day, and we can't protect you forever. Oh, if only you had a brother. He could protect you forever."

She glanced at Ye Qingyu's expression and continued, "Before, you were still young so you didn't know. When your mother was still alive, she mentioned to me that she wanted to adopt a brother for you so that he could protect you. Your mother lost her body when she gave birth to you, so she couldn't give you a brother. Your father was a devoted and stubborn man, and he refused to take a concubine, so you didn't even have a brother."

"When your mother was alive, she mentioned wanting to give you an adopted brother to protect you. But she was so anxious that she put the matter aside. Now that this has happened, Grandmother has remembered it."

"Qingyu, your mother is doing this for your own good. What do you think about adopting a brother?" The old lady looked as if everything revolved around her.

Ye Qingyu frowned slightly, "I've never heard mother mention it."

Ye Qingyu had a blank expression on her face, but she was filled with hatred in her heart. This old woman Yu actually wanted to use force on her mother. How could her mother possibly give her an adopted brother?

Madam Ye patted her hands. "You were still young at the time, so your mother naturally wouldn't mention it to you. But she did ask me, and I agreed. Do you want a brother to protect you? Grandmother sincerely hopes that someone will protect you, and this is also your mother's wish."

The old lady knew that Ye Qingyu and Gu had a good relationship, and she believed that Ye Qingyu would definitely listen to Gu's wishes.

Ye Qingyu's mind seemed to waver. She frowned slightly and spoke hesitantly, "It's good to have a brother to protect me. Since it's my mother's wish, I should obey."

The old lady's expression brightened, and she quickly said, "Well, if you can think this way, your mother will be relieved if she knows it in the afterlife."

"So, this matter is settled. Does Qingyu have any candidates?"
