After the mind-reading and gossip-eating incident, officials in the imperial city were demoted one a

Ye Jingyang nodded in deep agreement:

I wonder what good deeds my father did in his past life; he's just too lucky.

His exam paper was found left in the examination room, and coincidentally, it was caught by the officials who came to investigate.

All the students' exam papers were reviewed again, and indeed, one was missing.

Ye Xiyao: [The investigating officials reported the truth. At that time, all the official positions had already been bestowed, and the Emperor was only giving my father a minor official post.]

Even though his father became a clerk in the Hanlin Academy of the ninth rank, he didn't feel disappointed and started planning his future. He was already favored by Mr. Hua, which made people look at him with more respect.

Not only that, he also deliberately arranged several 'chance encounters' with his mother.

Soon after, rumors of their mutual affection spread like wildfire, and everything seemed to fall into place naturally.

The triplets: [It turns out their parents' meeting was a carefully planned scheme. If they hadn't overheard their little sister's thoughts, they would never have known that their father's approach to their mother had an ulterior motive.]

Liu Yunshu was somewhat dazed when she recalled what happened back then. For some reason, she felt unwell for several days before and after meeting Ye Mian.

At that time, Ye Mian was a gentleman with a good reputation and was considered a good son-in-law by everyone, so she married him.

After marriage, Ye's mother's occasional unreasonable demands left her feeling exhausted, and her life was not as rosy as the rumors suggested.

The outside world always says that my mother and my scumbag father have a harmonious marriage and that the husband is tolerant of the wife, but the truth is that my mother is often harassed by the old woman.

On the surface, the scumbag father is very caring towards his mother, but in reality, he is often helpless when faced with the old woman's harsh words and can only use sweet words to coax his mother.

Surprisingly, my mother was actually deceived by his sweet talk over the years.

This time, I've finally managed to stand up a little, I must make sure my mother sees my scumbag father's true colors.

Liu Yunshu rubbed her forehead: [You're not being misled, you just don't want to bother with me. I already know what you're thinking.]

"Mother, Father didn't believe what Second Brother said just now. He's always so blindly filial. None of us have any place in his heart anymore."

He always considered his grandmother's words to be infallible, and even if his second brother was telling the truth, he would still question them.

Of the triplets, Ye Jingyang was scolded the most by Ye Mian.

"Yes! Mother, Father always wrongs me, always saying that I have a bad temper and scolding me at the drop of a hat."

My eldest brother has a good temper, but I've never seen him show much affection for his older brother; he's always been cold and indifferent towards the rest of us.

After hearing Ye Yaoyao's thoughts, everyone tacitly cooperated with her and expressed their dissatisfaction.

"Yes, apart from asking about my studies, Dad hasn't cared about anything else."

The eldest brother is exceptionally talented, hailed as a top scholar. His scumbag father's concern for his studies isn't for his own good, but rather to pave the way for his mistress's son!

Ye Xiyao pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and revealed what she had been hiding.

“Mother, Grandmother asked me to go and chat with her, but actually I often get beaten.”

She gently pulled up her sleeve, revealing her fair skin and shocking bruises on her arms.

"These are injuries from the past two days."

"what?"

Liu Yunshu heard the inner voice and knew that her daughter was being harshly criticized. After all, she was her own granddaughter, and she thought that the punishment wouldn't be too severe. She didn't expect it to be so heavy.

Seeing the wounds on her daughter's hands, her face turned deathly pale. She touched the injured area with heartache, her eyes filled with pain and anger.

"You're her granddaughter, how could she be so cruel?"

Liu Yunshu couldn't understand why she would do such a cruel thing to her daughter when they only had different views and she hadn't neglected to support the elderly.

“Xiyao, from now on, you must not go to pay your respects to the old woman anymore.”

Ye Jingyang was so angry that he stopped calling her "grandmother"; she didn't deserve it.

The old woman's behavior was unbearable; he would never let her hurt his sister again.

“My mother and grandmother don’t get along, and I don’t dare tell my mother, but I have told my father.”

My father said that even he couldn't handle my grandmother's personality, and told me not to take it too seriously.

Then they gave me a silver note and told me to buy whatever I liked.

"Ye Mian, you are not worthy of being the father of my child." Liu Yunshu said with tears in her eyes, feeling ashamed of her daughter, and choked up, "Xiyao, it's all my fault, I've neglected you."

"Mother, brothers and sisters, Father and Grandmother don't like us. From now on, we'll all live together, and we shouldn't like them anymore."

Ye Yaoyao knew that Ye Xiyao had been abused more than once, and she had some doubts in her heart.

[It's strange. The old woman often beats and scolds my sister, but although she treats me coldly, she never hits me. Why is that?]

"Actually, I've long felt that your father wasn't as kind as he seemed on the surface, and now I've come to my senses."

Since he's unwilling to accept you, I'll no longer harbor any illusions about him. Now that I'm clear-headed, if he doesn't want you, then we don't want him either.

[Mom has finally stopped loving that scumbag dad. What goes around comes around. Scumbag dad, you're in for it. Once your mistress and fake talent are discovered, you'll be completely ruined, hahaha...]

Ye Yaoyao imagined her pretentious, scumbag father looking like this after his true colors were exposed, and she almost burst out laughing.

The triplets were shocked: What? Fake talent?

Liu Yunshu rubbed her forehead in exasperation: What kind of person did she marry?

"Madam, the imperial physician has arrived."

"Please come in! Yaoyao, go lie down in the inner room."

"No need, Mother, I'm fine now. Just have the imperial physician take my pulse."

Fortunately, the original owner was also a medical student, so if her medical skills improve in the future, they won't doubt her.

An old imperial physician arrived. Liu Yunshu watched him from afar, then stood up to greet him.

"Uncle, why have you come in person?"

Physician Cen and the Liu family were old friends. He liked to study difficult and complicated diseases. When he heard that Ye Yaoyao was alive, he took over the job out of curiosity.

“Niece, your uncle heard that your youngest daughter has come back to life, so he came to see her.”

Knowing Physician Cen's preferences, Liu Yunshu smiled and said, "Uncle, your daughter is here."

"Grandpa Cen!"

"Wow! You're really in good spirits. Let Grandpa Cen see your hand."

After a while, Physician Cen withdrew his hand.

"It's nothing serious, just a minor ailment after falling into the water. You'll be fine after a couple of days of rest."

"I'm relieved to hear what you said, Uncle."

“Niece, this child is very lucky and will surely have good fortune in the future.”

The Imperial Medical Academy is highly skilled; they can diagnose and save people without any problems. This person, who was put in a coffin and came out alive, is an exception.

"Get the medicine according to this prescription and take it for two days as scheduled."

Liu Yunshu accepted the prescription and said, "Thank you, Uncle."

"Thank you, Grandpa Cen."

Physician Cen smiled and patted Ye Yaoyao's head, saying, "No need to thank Grandpa Cen, you are blessed with good fortune. However, you must be more careful in the future."
