After rebirth, the daughter of the marquisate went crazy
Chapter 4 Life-saving grace
In this life, she will not let any of those who came to power by stepping on the blood of the Duke's Mansion go!
Ye Qingyu looked at him dimly and said, “Let’s start with Ye Shuwen.”
"Qingyu, why don't you come and meet your savior? How can you be so ignorant of etiquette?" Lord Ye seemed to have just seen Ye Qingyu, and began to scold with an unhappy look.
Ye Qingyu looked at the man she called her father with cold eyes. Everything that happened before his death in her previous life came to her mind vividly, and a strong hatred surged in her heart.
It was that reprimanding tone, that look of disgust, as if she was not his biological daughter, but his enemy.
Ye Qingyu suppressed the hatred in her eyes and said calmly, "My daughter doesn't understand what her father means."
"You evil girl! This is your upbringing! You don't even acknowledge the life-saving grace!"
The old lady asked seriously, "What life-saving grace do you mean? Please explain clearly, sir."
Lord Ye turned around and said, "Ye Qingyu encountered robbers on her way home. If Shuwen hadn't happened to pass by on his way to the capital and saved her, our Ye family's reputation would have been greatly damaged."
"Is there such a thing?" The old lady seemed to have just found out. She turned to look at Ye Qingyu without a trace of kindness in her expression.
Lord Ye's face was filled with anger. "This evil girl is so ungrateful. She really brings shame to our Ye family!"
The old lady looked at her with disappointment, "Qingyu, this is your fault. Our Ye family has always been one that repays kindness. You really shouldn't have behaved like this."
Mrs. Wu looked at Ye Qingyu with some concern, her eyes signaling her to quickly explain, "Qingyu has always been the most sensible and polite. Could there be any misunderstanding?"
Ye Qingya suddenly spoke up, looking somewhat indignant. "Uncle, Ye Qingyu encountered robbers on the road. Didn't you first ask if she was frightened, injured, or scared? Why did you start scolding her for being ungrateful?"
"Why didn't you tell me about the robbery you encountered?" She looked at Ye Qingyu with a frustrated look on her face, and she got even angrier when she saw that she still looked indifferent.
"Why don't you say something!" She glared at Ye Qingyu angrily.
Seeing Ye Qingyu silent and looking like a bullied person, she got angry. She really couldn't stand it. She was the eldest daughter of the Marquis's Mansion, but she was like a mouse seeing a cat when she saw her uncle and grandmother. Since her aunt passed away, she became timid and was not as lively and lovable as before.
Ye Qingya's words caused a moment of silence in the room.
Lord Ye spoke again, his angry expression tinged with embarrassment, but he still said with a straight face: "She is fine, isn't she? This is not a reason for her to be ungrateful."
"Qingyu, we cannot allow you to damage the reputation of our mansion. Go and apologize to Master Ye immediately."
The old lady sighed helplessly, "If it weren't for him, you wouldn't be where you are now. He not only saved your life, but also protected the reputation of our mansion. Shouldn't you bow and express your gratitude?"
The old lady had a serious look on her face. The kind look she had just had was long gone, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Ye Qingyu had returned to its usual displeasure.
Ye Qingyu looked at the people in the room: her second aunt's worry, her cousin's concern and disappointment, her third aunt's silence with a hint of gloating, and her biological father and grandmother's aggressive pressure.
Ye Shuwen acted magnanimous and polite, saying, "My Lord and Madam, your words are too kind. I only did a small favor, and it's not worth it. Now that I have greeted you all, I will take my leave."
Lord Ye hurriedly stopped him, "Shuwen, don't leave. My Ye family has never treated our benefactors harshly. I will give you an explanation today."
"Evil girl, why don't you kneel down!"
Ye Qingyu seemed not to take Lord Ye's anger seriously, and looked at Ye Shuwen with her dark and clear eyes.
"Father, there's no need to be so angry. I'm not the kind of ungrateful person who wouldn't repay a favor."
Lord Ye snorted coldly, "Hmph, it's good that you know."
Ye Qingyu's expression was calm, and her clear and pleasant voice was smooth. "My daughter did encounter robbers on the way home, and she was indeed rescued by someone, which saved her from disaster."
"For a life-saving benefactor, not to mention kneeling down to express gratitude, even if I ask my daughter to kowtow three times and nine times to the benefactor's door and present him with a generous gift, it wouldn't be too much. After all, this not only saved my daughter's life, but also saved the reputation of our mansion. These daughters naturally know this."
Lord Ye's expression softened a little, "Since you know, why don't you kneel down and thank your benefactor?"
"Of course I have to thank my benefactor, but..." Ye Qingyu paused calmly, looking at Ye Shuwen with a mocking look in her eyes, "Who is this young man? I have never seen him before, let alone saved me."
Lord Ye originally thought that Ye Qingyu acknowledged Ye Shuwen's life-saving grace to her, although he knew very well that something unexpected had happened and Ye Qingyu herself had gone crazy for some reason, hitting the coachman and running away, and yet she was able to come back safely.
Since no one saved her, he would force her to recognize Ye Shuwen as her savior. Given Ye Qingyu's weak nature, she probably wouldn't dare to disobey him.
"What did you say!"
Lord Ye was just feeling proud that his plan was about to succeed, but he didn't expect Ye Qingyu to change the subject and say directly that she didn't know him.
Everyone's surprised eyes fell on Ye Qingyu.
"Did you really encounter robbers?" Ye Qingya couldn't help but regret that she should have let her get in her car, otherwise such a terrible thing would not have happened.
"Yes, they are just a bunch of clowns." Ye Qingyu nodded indifferently.
"Tsk, just pretend. If you're scared, just say so directly. I really can't stand you acting so pretentiously all day long. Aren't you tired?" Ye Qingya rolled her eyes at her.
Wu slapped Ye Qingya on the forehead in annoyance, "Shut up. You don't care about comforting your elder sister, and you still say sarcastic words."
Wu turned around and persuaded with a smile, "Brother, don't be angry first. Maybe there is some misunderstanding. Qingya said that she has never seen this young man. It should be true. Qingyu has always been an honest child. Maybe there is something wrong." Wu naturally believed Ye Qingyu.
"Humph, how could I be wrong about something like this? The coachman came back and reported everything to me. Shuwen only came to see the elders, and no one mentioned this matter!"
Lord Ye looked angry, but his eyes were full of admiration and heartache when he looked at Ye Shuwen.
Ye Qingyu sneered silently. How could he not admire and feel sorry for him? This was his own son.
Ye Shuwen stepped forward and bowed, saying, "My Lord, Madam, I came here today on my mother's orders to pay my respects to the elders. It's just a small favor, and I don't dare ask for anything in return. I didn't expect this to cause such a disappointing incident. This is Shuwen's fault. The exam will begin soon, so I'll be returning to the inn to study."
Ye Shuwen saluted neither humbly nor arrogantly and was about to leave.
