After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy

Ye Qingyu looked towards Lord Ye, tears welling in her eyes, her expression filled with shame. "Father, it's Qingyu who's useless. Qingyu couldn't persuade Grandfather to listen to your ideas. I did try to persuade Grandfather, but you know his temper. He never listens to anyone."

Lord Ye fell silent. He naturally knew what kind of temper his father-in-law had. He was the kind of man who even dared to disobey the emperor. He still wanted the old man to listen to him. That was really a daydream.

Lord Ye was both irritated and aggrieved, but he didn't dare to scold Ye Qingyu loudly. "Father knows, don't be sad, I have wronged you."

Ye Qingyu wiped away her tears and said, "I know that my father and grandmother were thinking about me. It is Qingyu who has failed you."

"Okay, Qingyu, this is not your fault."

Ye Qingyu stopped crying and spoke softly, "Grandma, I agree with Grandpa's opinion. I grew up with my eldest cousin, and he has always taken good care of me. Moreover, my eldest cousin is the eldest grandson of our Marquis' Mansion. My father has no sons, so it is only right for him to be the Marquis's Crown Prince. If he is adopted by my mother, there will be no mismatch at all."

"My eldest cousin is a capable man. He is already working in the Ministry of Revenue. He has a high moral character, is fair and honest, and is considered a good son or grandson by other families. With such an heir, the Marquisate will surely make further progress in the future."

Ye Qingyu praised Ye Yanzhi generously, and her expression and words were full of respect for Ye Yanzhi.

The old lady and Lord Ye looked at each other and were silent for a moment.

"Well, Yanzhi is naturally excellent, but your second uncle might not agree. Grandmother analyzed this with you before."

Ye Qingyu pouted, "But, Grandfather has his eyes on my eldest cousin."

Ye Qingyu retorted in the same way as the Duke.

The old lady was so angry that she stopped talking.

Lord Ye suppressed his anger and said, "Since that's what my father-in-law wants, I'll go and persuade your uncle."

Ye Qingyu thanked him happily, "Thank you, father."

Ye Qingyu left happily.

The old lady's ugly expression could no longer be concealed. "Boss, what do you say? Do you really want to adopt Ye Yanzhi?"

Lord Ye's face turned pale, "Impossible!"

"Tell her in a few days that her second brother disagrees."

The old lady pondered for a moment, her expression somewhat hesitant. "The Duke of Zhenguo has already said that he wants Ye Yanzhi. If you tell her that the second son disagrees, this matter will be ruined."

Marquis Ye's face was as black as ash at the bottom of a pot. "Don't worry, mother. Shuwen is my son. The heir of the Marquisate can only be Shuwen. Tomorrow I will call the elders of the clan and tell them that the Duke's Mansion also agrees to adopt Shuwen into the Gu family. We will do this privately. As long as Shuwen is written in the family tree, I can ask for him to be named the heir."

Lord Ye's expression was cold and resolute. "This is my Marquis's business. Even the Duke's Mansion should not interfere."

When the old lady saw that her son had made up his mind, she said nothing more. What she cared about was that her eldest grandson returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

When Ye Qingyu returned to Wanyan Pavilion, she called Mo Shu over.

"Mo Shu, keep an eye on the Marquis's movements these days."

"Yes, ma'am."

Ye Qingyu curled up the corners of her lips in a sarcastic sneer. She didn't believe they would give up.

A day later, Lord Ye sent someone to tell her that her second uncle did not agree to adopt her eldest cousin into the main house, and asked her to wait a little longer, and he would persuade her second uncle again.

Ye Qingyu didn't take Lord Ye's words to heart, she had expected it.

Lord Ye hurriedly invited the elders of the clan to the ancestral hall of the Marquis' Mansion in secret, and told them about the adoption.

Ye Qingyu's Wanyan Pavilion was also extremely lively.

Ye Shuwen brought his men and carried a jade Buddha with great fanfare, smiling smugly, "Cousin, this jade Buddha is the one you wanted. I brought it to you."

Ye Qingyu showed a surprised look, "Mr. Ye, what are you talking about? When did I ask for this thing?"

Ye Shuwen smiled and said, "Ah, it was my cousin who said the wrong thing. I heard from the maid that you were looking for a jade Buddha as a birthday gift for the old lady. What do you think of this one? I went through a lot of trouble to get it. This is my cousin's sincerity. Please don't refuse it, cousin."

Ye Qingyu shook her head, her expression serious. "Mr. Ye, you misunderstood. I'm not looking for any jade Buddha, but I've already prepared the gift for the old lady's birthday. If Mr. Ye wants to show his appreciation for Grandmother, he can give it to her himself."

Ye Qingyu had a serious and dignified look on her face, which made Ye Shuwen's mind waver.

It couldn't be that he was really mistaken. Ye Qingyu didn't look for this thing, so he was flattering the wrong person.

Ye Shuwen flattered with a smile on his face, "Maybe my cousin made a mistake. Please don't be offended, cousin. I was just too eager to atone for my sins, so I made a mistake. Since you don't care about this, I will go find a gift that pleases you and make amends."

Ye Qingyu's face was cold as she said sternly, "Mr. Ye, there is no need to apologize or send gifts. Since there is nothing else, please leave. Nianchun, please see you off."

Ye Shuwen was asked to leave Wanyan Pavilion with a stiff face.

At this time, Mo Shu came back quietly from outside.

"Miss, the Marquis has invited the elders to the ancestral hall, and the old lady has also gone there."

Ye Qingyu raised her eyebrows slightly. It seemed that they really couldn't wait any longer.

"Miss, I just saw the steward of the Marquis calling Ye Shuwen away." Nianchun sent Ye Shuwen back to report.

Ye Qingyu pulled out a letter and handed it to Nianchun, "Go to the Duke's Mansion through the back door and give this letter to my grandfather. If he's not here, give it to my third aunt."

Nianchun took the letter and quickly walked out of Wanyan Pavilion.

"Wanqiu, quietly inform everyone in the second branch, especially my second uncle and eldest cousin. If they're not here, go look for them at the government office and bring them to the ancestral hall as soon as possible."

Wanqiu received the order and hurried out.

"Mo Shu, Mo Hua, you two follow me."

Ye Qingyu's eyes were filled with coldness as she walked quickly towards the ancestral hall.

The fun is about to begin...

Inside the ancestral hall.

The old lady took Ye Shuwen's hand, her face full of kindness, "Elder, Shuwen is an excellent child. He will graduate this autumn. With his talent, it will not be difficult for him to pass the imperial examination."

"This child is chivalrous, loyal, kind, and respectful to his elders. He has already passed the imperial examination at a young age. He has a good heart and is very well-behaved."

"Our Marquis's family is not rich in descendants. Adopting an outstanding child like Shuwen can help us expand our family line and prosper the Marquis's family."

The elders all looked embarrassed. "Adopting him into the Marquis's name means he will be the Marquis's heir, the future Marquis. We don't know what this child will be like, but we have watched Yanzhi grow up. Whether it's ability or character, he is excellent. Why would you choose someone far away? Isn't Yanzhi more suitable?"
