After being forced into a marriage of convenience, a master of metaphysics manipulates a cold and al

"Grandma, we didn't know you were unwell, and we've troubled you like this. It's really not right of us..."

Looking at Old Madam Qin lying on the bed, Ye Wentian said apologetically.

Yang Fenglan, standing to the side, had red eyes and kept wiping her eyes with tissues, sobbing as if she were more distressed than if her own mother were sick.

Seeing this scene, Ye Bai, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but feel a strange feeling welling up in his heart.

His adoptive parents were becoming increasingly unfamiliar to him.

But thinking about it carefully, it seems that I wasn't really familiar with it even ten years ago.

"Wentian, you're being too polite. Since Xiaobai is my Qin family's son-in-law, we're all family, so there's no need to be so formal."

Old Madam Qin smiled and said.

Although Chen Yizhen's mistake almost put the old lady in danger.

However, Ye Bai received timely treatment and is now out of danger.

In addition, with the accumulated cold toxins in her body having been eliminated, Old Madam Qin's complexion has not only returned to normal, but is even better than when she was healthy before.

If Ye Bai hadn't advised her to stay in bed as much as possible, the old lady would have already gone to the park to listen to the opera.

Therefore, she didn't see Ye Wentian and his wife's visit as a disturbance; on the contrary, she had someone to chat with, which naturally put her in a very good mood.

"Grandma, we really have no other choice but to ask for your help this time. Otherwise, the Ye family may not be able to maintain its foothold in Jingzhou..."

As Yang Fenglan spoke, tears finally streamed down her face.

Without a doubt, Madam Ye's red eyes earlier were not feigned; it was just that the cause was different.

"Is it that serious? Have you offended the Admiral?"

Even though Old Madam Qin had experienced countless storms, she was still somewhat surprised at this moment.

Although the Ye family's strength cannot compare with the four major families of Jingzhou, after ten years of rapid development, it has become one of the best among the wealthy families.

Every powerful family is not to be underestimated. Unless they offend a top figure, they will not be in a life-or-death situation.

"It's not the Admiral, but the Zhu family..."

Ye Wentian gave a wry smile, then glanced at Ye Bai and said helplessly, "This matter is related to my unfilial son..."

Then, Ye Wentian briefly recounted what had happened the night before, that Ye Xuanyuan had been arrested.

Since we need to ask for help, there's no way we can hide it from others.

However, Ye Wentian couldn't tell the truth and reveal that Ye Xuanyuan wanted to drug and rape Zhu Daji.

Such despicable tactics are abhorrent to anyone, let alone to a traditional elder like Old Madam Qin, whose very being is filled with integrity.

Ye Wentian only said that Ye Xuanyuan had been deliberately getting close to Zhu Daji recently because of his remorse and guilt, in order to find out whether the Zhu family was involved in causing Qin Wanqing's paralysis.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Daji drank too much wine at the governor's mansion last night and eventually lost consciousness.

Ye Xuanyuan kindly booked a hotel room for Zhu Daji, hoping to help her sober up.

Unexpectedly, the police misunderstood and thought he was plotting against Zhu Daji, so they arrested him.

If it were just that, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the key issue is that the Zhu family is now falsely accusing Ye Xuanyuan of drugging Zhu Daji, and they insist that he be punished by law.

Ye Wentian personally negotiated with the Zhu family, but they wouldn't give him any face. So, he had no choice but to ask Old Madam Qin for help...

The Ye family is a newly emerging wealthy family, and in every aspect, it cannot compare with an established wealthy family like the Zhu family.

But the Qin family is different.

Putting aside the fact that the Qin family was stronger than the Zhu family, more importantly, the Qin matriarch and the old lady of the Zhu family had a very close relationship.

They were old friends of several decades. Even though the Qin and Zhu families had some business conflicts, their personal relationship had always been quite good.

Therefore, Ye Wentian believed that as long as Old Madam Qin intervened, Old Madam Zhu would definitely give her face.

Moreover, the Ye family does not intend to rely entirely on Old Madam Qin to save face; they will also provide compensation that satisfies the Zhu family.

Even with the Qin family, they won't be allowed to help for nothing.

In short, the core of everything is to get the Zhu family to stop pursuing Ye Xuanyuan's responsibility.

In fact, what Ye Xuanyuan did was not a big problem for the Ye family itself.

If the woman is just an ordinary person, money will suffice; the Ye family can always offer a satisfactory price.

But since she was the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, all of the Ye family's methods were completely useless.

In order to save Ye Xuanyuan, Ye Wentian and his wife had no choice but to beg and plead with everyone they could, and were even prepared to suffer huge financial losses.

"This matter is probably not easy..."

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Qin's brows slowly furrowed.

If it were anything else, she wouldn't mind helping the Ye family.

After all, the two families were related by marriage. Even though the matter of the substitute marriage had not been very pleasant, in the eyes of Old Madam Qin, Ye Bai, her grandson-in-law, was much more satisfactory than Ye Xuanyuan.

This means that the Ye family sending Ye Bai to Qin as a substitute bride is not only not a bad thing, but also a blessing for the Qin family.

Since Ye Bai entered the family, putting aside the other members of the Qin family, her and Qin Wanqing's fortunes have obviously improved all at once.

From this perspective, the Ye family still deserves credit.

So even just for Ye Bai's sake, it's only right to help him this once.

But the Ye family's situation this time is truly quite troublesome.

Old Madam Qin knew better than anyone how much Madam Zhu adored her granddaughter Zhu Daji.

It's definitely not going to be that easy to get them to give up.

Most importantly, what is the truth of this matter?

Is it really just a misunderstanding, as Ip Man-tin said?

Old Madam Qin was indeed old, but she was not senile.

She now has a much better understanding of Ye Xuanyuan's character.

The claim that he deliberately contacted Zhu Daji in order to help Qin Wanqing find out the truth about her paralysis is clearly questionable.

Moreover, the Zhu family's insistence that Ye Xuanyuan drugged Zhu Daji may not necessarily be a slander.

That's one of the four great families of Jingzhou. Without certain evidence, how could they allow their family to bear such a reputation?

Although Zhu Daji was not harmed and the police will keep this secret, there is still a possibility that it will get out eventually.

Of course, it's not necessarily that Ye Wentian is lying through his teeth; it's more likely that Ye Xuanyuan himself said it.

"Xiao Bai, please beg the old lady. No matter what, Xuanyuan is still your elder brother. We're all family!"

"Can you really bear to watch your older brother be thrown into prison and bear a stain that he can never wash away?"

Yang Fenglan looked at Ye Bai, who had remained silent, and burst into tears.

Undoubtedly, seeing that Old Madam Qin hesitated and was unwilling to help, Yang Fenglan began to take a roundabout approach, playing the family card with Ye Bai.

Because she knew very well how much Old Madam Qin loved this grandson-in-law.
