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

"Grandmother, can't you tell I'm worried about you? Besides, our family's savings are almost gone, haven't you even looked at the accounts?"

Ye Yaoyao looked surprised and incredulous, then slapped her head in frustration.

"Oh, right, I forgot, you can't read, so the butler must have been in charge of the accounts!"

The three managers all listened to the steward. The accountant said that you gave him several hundred taels of silver as a reward. What good deed did he do to deserve such a reward?

And what about your favorite butler? How many silver notes did you give him?

Ye Yaoyao emphasized the word "most favored," which made Old Madam Ye look uncomfortable. Thinking of the hush money she had given, she angrily shouted at her.

"Nonsense! When did I give the accountant several hundred taels?" It was clearly only one hundred taels.

"Oh! No? Anyway, it's already been handed over to the authorities. Let them investigate. They'll definitely have to return the money they embezzled from our family."

The incident of sending them to the authorities happened so suddenly. With Ye Mian there, Madam Ye wasn't worried, as those people wouldn't say anything they shouldn't.

Xue Ruoxue naturally didn't believe that the Ye family was about to be emptied out, and she reached behind Ye Wan and gently pinched her.

Her movements were subtle, her eyes conveyed hints, and she made a few silent movements with her lips.

"Mother, aren't we going to exorcise the evil spirits?" Ye Wan whispered in the old lady's ear.

"Yes, I almost forgot the most important thing," said Old Madam Ye, her face darkening.

"As expected, coming out of a coffin is an ominous sign. The clan elder was still lying in bed being served medicine, and within two days, the family was sent to the authorities."

"Master, please take a look at our house quickly, what's wrong with it?"

After saying a few words, my throat became increasingly uncomfortable, so I picked up the teacup next to me and drank some cold tea to soothe it.

The Taoist priest, who had been kicked, had recovered. He wiped the gray shoe print off his robe, glared at Ye Yaoyao angrily, and then picked up the compass to search.

When they reached Ye Yaoyao, the compass needle swung rapidly.

"You fiend, you do indeed possess some skill. You'd better get off Miss Ye at once."

The Taoist priest moved swiftly, his peach wood sword arcing through the air as it struck Ye Yaoyao.

The Taoist priest Ye Wan invited was quite famous. He noticed that the needle on the compass pointing at Ye Yaoyao was shaking.

The mother and daughter stared intently at the Taoist priest's movements, their eyes filled with eagerness and excitement, hoping to quickly rid the demon of its evil nature.

"Trying to bully a little sister? Do you think I don't exist?"

Ye Jingyang blocked the Taoist priest's peach wood sword with one hand, breaking the sword in two, and then kicked the man away.

The Taoist priest clutched his stomach again, this time in even greater pain than when Ye Yaoyao kicked him. His disciple, seeing this, quickly helped him up.

This money was hard to earn. The Taoist priest secretly lamented, regretting that he hadn't asked for several hundred more taels.

"This demon is too powerful. The lady and young master have been bewitched. I cannot harm the innocent."

"This is outrageous!" Ye Wan glared angrily at Ye Jingyang. "Guards, arrest the Second Young Master."

The servants of the Changshou Institute ran out.

"Who dares to move?"

Liu Yunshu gave a shout, and the servants all stopped in their tracks.

Ye Wan said angrily, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and do it!"

But now that the matriarch has changed, they dare not make a move.

Ye Xiyao stood next to Liu Yunshu and looked at Ye Wan, saying:

“Aunt, you are a married woman, surnamed Yun. You have no right to make decisions in the Ye family’s affairs.”

Wow! My sister stood up and clapped.

Ye Xiyao raised her head even higher, and Liu Yunshu looked at her eldest daughter with satisfaction.

Ye Wan looked at Ye Xiyao in surprise. This niece usually let them bully her and was very timid. Today, she actually said that she was an outsider.

Ye Wan's face was full of disbelief, her eyes wide open. Sure enough, Liu Yunshu and her son were about to rebel.

“Cousin Xiyao, my mother’s surname is Ye. She is my maternal grandmother’s biological daughter. You can’t talk to your elders like that.”

Yun Piaopiao couldn't believe that the person she used to bully so easily would dare to speak to her mother like that, and she glared at her hatefully.

Ye Xiyao cursed herself for being foolish before, for always treating them as her family.

"Where did I say something wrong? Your surname is Yun, and your aunt is clearly married. You don't live in your own home, but instead live in our Ye family and give orders."

It should be noted that in the Holy Capital, only daughters who have been divorced and sent home live with their parents.

Yun Piaopiao acted as if she didn't recognize Ye Xiyao, and grabbed Old Madam Ye's hand to complain.

“Grandmother, look, my cousin is cursing my mother.”

Ye Wan's face darkened, and Ye Xiyao cursed her to be divorced.

Goodness! This little bitch never shows any talent before, but her mouth is so foul. Like mother, like daughter.

Ye Wan was burning with anger, her eyes shooting at Ye Xiyao like knives.

“Xiyao, your grandmother has been sick for two days and hasn’t been able to teach you properly. You’ve become increasingly arrogant.”

Old Madam Ye's sinister words made Ye Xiyao feel a little scared, as she recalled the days of suffering she had endured in the past.

Liu Yunshu shielded her behind her.

"I will teach my daughter myself, so I won't trouble my mother anymore."

"My mother isn't in good health, so she should rest more from now on, so you don't get tired."

Madam Ye didn't want to lose the opportunity to manipulate Liu Yunshu's daughter.

“Xiyao has done some things improperly on a daily basis. Is it wrong for me to take the time to teach her? Listen to what she just said. Does she respect her elders at all?”

"If an elder is unkind and makes a mistake, what's wrong with a junior pointing it out?"

"Am I, the legitimate daughter of a noble family, less capable of being taught than my mother?"

"Liu, you..."

"Mother, did I say something wrong? Is your birth higher than mine, the legitimate daughter of a marquis's family?"

In the past, we had given in to her because she was the children's grandmother, but now that she's so biased, she's not worth making any concessions to.

"You...you've rebelled, you've rebelled!"

“Sister-in-law, how dare you speak to Mother like that? You are disobedient and unfilial.”

"Hehe, unfilial? Whether someone is filial or not depends on your words. If you, as an elder, are not kind, why should I be blindly obedient?"

Do you think I don't know what you did to Xiyao before?

"Mother, Piaopiao is also your granddaughter, why don't you teach her the same way you teach Xiyao?"

Ever since she learned the true nature of their family, Liu Yunshu had no intention of being polite to them.

"Fine! Fine! It's all my fault for being a busybody. I can't even teach my own granddaughter properly."

"I can't control that, but my son can certainly control that! Someone, go and fetch the master."

The old woman's voice was filled with anger; she felt her authority had been challenged.

Upon hearing the order, the servant immediately ran out to find Ye Mian.

Ye Wan smiled smugly. When her older brother arrived, she would see how arrogant Liu Yunshu would be.

The eldest brother will definitely stand on their side and teach Liu Yunshu a lesson.

Liu Yunshu smiled disdainfully. As a noble lady of the capital city, she had plenty of powerful backers. Unless she deliberately showed leniency, why would she be afraid of someone from a poor family?

Ye Yaoyao's inner thoughts resonated.

[Mom, don't be afraid of that scumbag father. If he sides with us and criticizes us, slap him twice.]

Triplets: If we're talking about who's the most troublesome to their dad, then the youngest sister is the best. The youngest sister is awesome!

[We should get Mother a chair to sit on.]

Ye Yaoyao looked around and looked for a clean chair.

Ye Jingyang made his move, tearing off the decorative curtain.

"Ye Jingyang, what are you doing?" Old Madam Ye scolded. They had really gone too far, daring to touch anything in her room.

Ye Jingyang remained calm and unhurried. He took the fine fabric in his hand and began to wipe the chair.

He searched every corner until the chair regained its original shine before answering her.

"The chairs in Grandmother's room were all dirty, so I wiped them clean for Mother so she could sit down. Mother, it's alright, sit down." Ye Jingyang smiled and moved the chair in front of Liu Yunshu.

[Second brother, I give you a thumbs up.]

Ye Jingyang was even happier to be praised by his younger sister, and winked at Ye Yaoyao.

Madam Ye was so angry that she couldn't speak; her chest heaved violently as she coughed incessantly.

"Godmother, be quiet."

Seeing this, Xue Ruoxue quickly stepped forward to pat her back and help her catch her breath. Ye Wan gave Liu Yunshu a sarcastic and cold look.

“Sister-in-law, you’ve only just started managing the household, and you’ve already angered Mother like this. Aren’t you afraid of what outsiders will say behind your back?”

Ye Yaoyao responded with a cold snort:

“My aunt is a married woman who lives with her daughter at her parents’ home for a long time without being afraid of gossip. What is my mother afraid of?”

"And you all receive more monthly pay than us, so why has Aunt been causing trouble here for so long? Is it because she's after that little bit of pay?"

Ye Wan pointed at Ye Yaoyao with a face full of anger, her voice trembling with rage.

"Ye Yaoyao, what are you saying? How dare you call me a troublemaker? You are insulting your elders."

"Did Yao Yao say anything wrong? You married into a good family, but you don't know how to cherish it. You even keep complaining that they are merchants."

Sister-in-law, I'm not saying this to criticize you, but you're not from an official family.

Don't set your sights too high, or you might end up with nothing.

Those who don't cherish their blessings will ultimately lose everything.

Ye Wan was able to act this way because Ye Mian had become an official. The two siblings were only two years apart, and she had always had high expectations for her older brother, Ye Mian.

Ye Wan was even more nervous than Ye Mian himself during the imperial examination.

She hoped that Ye Mian would pass the high school entrance exam so that she could marry into a good family.
