Crossing Over to Yamada Love

Xue Man'er then said to Mo Lan, "On the second day after my sister and husband got married, the matchmaker also took back the wedding veil. My mother-in-law also verified my sister's chastity and acknowledged my sister's status as a daughter-in-law of the Xue family. My husband and I returned to my parents' home three days later, and we shared a bed for many days. Although we weren't exactly inseparable, we never had a fight. My sister always put my husband first and never disobeyed him in the slightest."

"My sister also helped with my father-in-law's matter. If I hadn't covered for him in front of the Xue family, how could my husband have gained their trust? And we successfully delayed the process and obtained the antidote."

At this point, she looked at Xue Lingfeng and said, "I dare not take credit, but I have done nothing wrong. I don't understand why my husband treats me like this!"

"I have traveled a thousand miles to get here, not because I am ashamed, but because I wish to remain faithful to you. I am a member of the Xue family. If my husband does not want me, then find fault with me, give me a letter of divorce, and abandon me. Whether I live or die is none of the Xue family's business. From now on, I will continue to pester my husband."

Xue Man'er's words sounded very humane and reasonable: If you don't want me anymore, just give me a letter of divorce, why do this?

Mo Lan narrowed her eyes. What was her purpose in asking for a letter of divorce? Didn't she think that the other party had traveled all this way just for a letter of divorce, and that her purpose in getting the letter was to make Xue Lingfeng acknowledge her identity? Was she just trying to make people say that Xue Lingfeng had used her, a weak woman, and then abandoned her? Was she trying to force Xue Lingfeng to submit like this?

"Miss Xue said that Lord Zhang was the matchmaker. Where is Lord Zhang? Can we ask him to come out and testify? What are the betrothal gifts? Miss Xue, could you please show me? Where are the official documents? Miss said that your aunt examined your bridal veil. Where is that veil? Is it confirmed that it is Miss's virginity? Miss said that you and your husband have shared a bed for many days. Has your husband ever touched you? What proof do you have that you are your husband's woman?" Mo Lan asked one question after another.

"This..." Xue Man'er paused for a moment. Because of his good relationship with the Xue family, Lord Zhang had helped a lot in the last incident. Later, he was imprisoned and died in prison. Where was she supposed to find him to testify?

After this incident, the betrothal gifts disappeared. The Xue family didn't know where they went, and they couldn't come up with them themselves.

Since Xue Lingfeng was unwilling to acknowledge the marriage with her, he must have colluded with the government to produce the official documents, so she couldn't possibly produce them herself.

The bloodstain on the bridal veil wasn't her own virginity; it was Xue Lingfeng's blood from his arm. Had Xue Lingfeng told Mo Lan about this? Otherwise, how could she be so sure?

Xue Man'er frowned slightly, momentarily speechless.

“Lanlan, you are the legal wife, you should have the demeanor of a legal wife. We were all present when Feng’er married Man’er, how could this marriage be faked? Your father and I were there at the time, we can testify.” Madam Wang spoke up to help Xue Man’er.

"Thank you, Grandma," Xue Man'er said, bowing her head in thanks.

Mo Lan sneered and said, "Aunt, you're mistaken. Father and Aunt came to the capital for Sixth Brother's marriage. It's nothing for Aunt to handle Sixth Brother's marriage."

But isn't it none of your business, Aunt? How can you act like a mother-in-law? I still have my own mother-in-law. Doesn't Aunt feel ashamed after hearing this?

Besides, if my husband wants to take a concubine, how can he bring her into the house if I don't agree? Don't expect me to accept just any woman who comes along; if that were the case, this You Ran Ju would be overflowing long ago.”

"Lan'er, there's no point in arguing about these things. Anyway, Feng'er is already married, so you have to accept it whether you like it or not. Man'er is now a member of the Xue family. If you don't accept her, she'll kneel at the entrance of Youran Residence and let everyone know that our Xue family has a jealous woman who won't let the second wife into the house."

Go ask around the capital and Shangchang; everyone knows that Feng'er has divorced his wife and remarried. He only kept you as the legal wife because you gave birth to a legitimate grandson for the Xue family. If you continue to be so unreasonable, I think your time as the legal wife is over.”

Madam Wang's words contained a hint of threat, but they also pointed Xue Man'er in the right direction. If Mo Lan disagreed, she should make Xue Man'er kneel at the entrance of Youran Residence and make a scene. That way, Mo Lan would definitely agree.

"Aunt, you really have a good idea and a good plan. Do you think it's interesting to do this?" Mo Lan asked, staring at Madam Wang.

Madam Wang grinned and said, "Lanlan, don't be anxious or angry. Logically speaking, we are still closer, but your aunt is siding with the right people, not with family. We can't let people laugh at us, can we?"

Mo Lan smiled at her, a smile that sent chills down one's spine. She ignored Madam Wang and instead looked at Xue Man'er, saying, "Miss Man'er, are you really planning to kneel at the entrance of Youran Residence as your aunt suggested?"

Xue Man'er paused for a moment, then replied, "Sister, I don't want to do this. If word gets out, not only will I lose face, but I'm also afraid of disgracing my husband. If he gets a reputation for being afraid of his wife, how can I bear that!"

“Hehe, my sister really knows how to plan for my husband. Miss Xue, I’ll ask you one last time, are you willing to not mention this matter and return to the capital to marry someone else?” Mo Lan asked Xue Man’er earnestly.

"Sister, please don't make things difficult for me. Now that I'm married, there's no reason for me to marry someone else." Xue Man'er was determined to be with Xue Lingfeng. Not only was Xue Lingfeng handsome, but more importantly, he was the only younger brother of the Imperial Concubine. If the Imperial Concubine's son ascended the throne, Xue Lingfeng would be the person she trusted most. Even if Xue Lingfeng didn't become an official, his words would carry considerable weight.

“Alright.” Mo Lan nodded to her, then got up and went to Madam Xue’s side, saying, “Mother, Aunt has been here for quite a while, shouldn’t we see her off?”

Madam Xue nodded as she watched her daughter-in-law. Originally, she had wanted to kick Wang Shi out since Xue Man'er hadn't come, but now that her daughter-in-law had spoken, she didn't need to be polite anymore.

"You're being unreasonable, girl! Putting everything else aside, I'm your aunt, and I'm here as a guest. There's no reason for me to turn you away. Master, you're a man who values ​​etiquette the most. Aren't you going to say a word?" Madam Wang pleaded with Third Master Xue for help.

Third Master Xue remained silent. Xue Man'er had come looking for him, and since the whole affair had started because of him, he felt somewhat guilty towards Mo Lan. Therefore, he had let Mo Lan handle the matter without interfering. Now that Madam Wang was asking him for help, he didn't want to get involved either. In any case, his wife disliked Madam Wang, so he let them do as they pleased.

“Mother, remember to tell the steward later that my aunt is not allowed to visit from now on. Since this is your villa, it is meant to make you comfortable. Why invite someone who makes you uncomfortable in? To cause trouble? You and Father live here, and you are a harmonious couple. Why bring in an eyesore? Mother, you have such a good temper. If it were me, I would have kicked her out long ago.” Mo Lan said without any politeness.

"You...you..." Madam Wang was so angry that she couldn't speak.

"Didn't you hear what the young mistress said? Throw her out now! From now on, anyone who lets Wang Mingying in will be sent to Youran Residence, just like her." Madam Xue lifted her teacup and ordered the old woman behind her.

"Yes." The old woman accepted the order and hurriedly went out to call for help.

"Sister, Lanlan is being unreasonable, but aren't you unreasonable too? I am the master's concubine, and I am also a lady with an imperial title. You can't treat me like this," Madam Wang said in a deep voice, feeling that she had lost all face.

"What kind of thing is a concubine! You, Wang Mingying, dare to call yourself a Lady of Imperial Decree in front of me? I am a second-rank official, and you are only a fifth-rank official. Why don't you show me proper respect? From now on, stop talking about concubines and stop interfering in Feng'er's affairs. Also, let me tell you, I will also make the decisions regarding Yun'er's marriage. I am her mother. From now on, the affairs of the master, Feng'er, and Yun'er are no longer your concern. Do you hear me?" Madam Xue also put on a stern face and reprimanded Madam Wang.

"Master..." Madam Wang called out in protest.

"What is it?" Third Master Xue asked impatiently.

"Sister, aren't you going to say anything?" Madam Wang's heart sank.

“She is the madam, and you are just a concubine. She is the mother of the child. What’s wrong with her interfering? Or has it been because the madam has been neglecting her duties for so many years that she has spoiled you? How can you be so tactless?” Third Master Xue said coldly to Madam Wang.

Madam Wang was stunned. Why was her husband always speaking on her side? He used to always side with her. When did he change?

Just as Madam Wang was lost in thought, the steward and servant entered.

After the greetings were exchanged, Madam Xue said directly, "What are you all standing there for? Throw her out of here! If anyone lets her into the courtyard again, they can get out of Youran Residence themselves. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Your Majesty's command." The steward bowed and accepted the order.

Lady Wang, having been humiliated, did not want to leave. She remained seated on the stool and replied, "I am not leaving. I am a lady appointed by the Emperor. Let's see who dares to touch me."

Mo Lan saw that the servant dared not step forward, because Madam Wang was both a lady and a member of the female family, and with Master Xue present, the servant dared not be too presumptuous.

Mo Lan gave a wink to Granny Bai and the old women behind Madam Xue. They understood, and Granny Bai took the lead, reaching Madam Wang and forcefully lifting her off the stool. The others also came to help, moving Madam Wang out of the way.

Madam Wang's feet left the ground, and she cried out, "Master, Master, don't you care about me anymore? Are you just going to let a few servants humiliate me like this? Master, Master..."

Third Master Xue looked somewhat embarrassed. He wanted to say something, but his wife and madam had given him orders. He had finally managed to ease the tension with his wife, and she had just said she would take care of his affairs from now on, so he shouldn't interfere. He figured it was best to stay at Youran Residence and take care of his grandson.

Instead of getting a word from Master Xue, Madam Wang was met with the viciousness of the old woman. The old woman beside Madam Xue had long hated Madam Wang, and as she dragged her away, she showed no mercy, twisting Madam Wang's body hard, causing Madam Wang to cry out in pain.

She was being held captive by the old woman and couldn't resist. She could only endure the old woman's cruel actions without being able to fight back. The old woman behind her wanted to help, but she couldn't get close enough to help. She cried out in desperation, but there was nothing she could do.
