Chapter 21 Outer Room
"Liu, have you gone mad? Hitting Wan'er wasn't enough, you dare to hit my son too!" Old Madam Ye jumped up from her chair again.
She was trembling with anger, pointing her finger at Liu Yunshu, her wrinkles deepening with fury.
Today, Liu Yunshu was very fierce, as expected, she was affected by Ye Yaoyao's murderous aura.
"I'm going to call your father over and have a serious talk with him. The daughter your Marquis's family raised is simply too much."
Madam Ye was furious, her eyes blazing with anger.
Haha, that old woman is a paper tiger; if she can't win an argument, she'll call for backup.
"Uncle, does your face hurt?"
It was Ye Yuanru who spoke. She quickly walked to Ye Mian's side, her face full of concern.
"Sister-in-law, how could you even hit your brother?"
Xue Ruoxue's eyes reddened as she watched Ye Mian being knocked off course, her face filled with heartache.
Oh! The mother and daughter felt sorry for each other.
Triplets: Heartbreaking? They're godparents, are they really that close?
Xue Ruoxue is her scumbag father's mistress.
Liu Yunshu and the triplets were shocked: What? The mistress was actually Xue Ruoxue.
The four looked at Xue Ruoxue and her daughter, and seeing their concerned expressions, they really did seem like a family.
Seeing the three of them again filled Liu Yunshu with disgust.
Xue Ruoxue used to visit her often, but because she was close to the old lady, Liu Yunshu subconsciously avoided getting along with her.
Then she thought of Xue Ruoxue's husband, Ye Zhenghui, who had visited the old woman at the Ye residence under the pretext of being a fellow villager from Yejiacun. What was the story behind that?
Ye Zhenghui died two years ago. Was he just a tool, used and then faked his death to escape the Holy Capital?
The next moment, Ye Yaoyao gave the answer.
Xue Ruoxue was originally her scumbag father's first wife. She was the daughter of a scholar from their hometown, and the two families had been engaged for a long time, so they were childhood sweethearts.
Before his father took the imperial examination, he had already married Xue Ruoxue and had a son. His future was the hope of both families.
Back then, her scumbag father, full of ambition, held Xue Ruoxue's hand with deep affection and made a solemn promise.
My dearest wife, I will definitely pass the exam and get a government position so that you and our child can live a good life.
Then Xue Ruoxue, looking touched, said to him, "Husband, you can focus on taking the imperial examination. I'll take care of things at home. We'll be waiting for your good news."
After his father became an official, he brought his whole family to the capital city and then told Xue Ruoxue with a guilty look that he wanted to marry the daughter of a marquis for the sake of their family's future.
Xue Ruoxue must have been struck by lightning at the time. She had come to the capital city full of expectations to enjoy a life of happiness, thinking that her suffering was over. However, she never expected that her husband would marry the legitimate daughter of a noble family in order to climb the social ladder, and would make her his mistress.
She had a huge fight with her scumbag father, and his whole family took turns trying to brainwash her. Her father repeatedly stated that he only had eyes for her and their son.
The scumbag father played the victim, claiming he came from a poor family and struggled to make a living in the capital. He said he married a noblewoman only to improve his future, so that his wife and son could have a better life, and that the Ye family would eventually belong to his son.
Xue Ruoxue was thus persuaded, and the whole family began to plot against her mother.
The scumbag father was a clever master of disguise. He took the silver notes from his mother and bought a house on West Street for Xue Ruoxue and her son to live in.
To avoid suspicion, he not only obtained a household registration and adopted the alias Ye Zhenghui, but also wore a mask bought on the black market. Thus began his life of having a mistress at home and keeping a lover on the side, alternating between the two homes.
For the sake of her son's future, Xue Ruoxue willingly recognized Old Madam Ye as her godmother, and from then on, in front of outsiders, her own children called their father "Uncle."
Ye Yaoyao was truly disgusted by Ye Mian's outrageous actions.
Liu Yunshu's face darkened, her hands clenched into fists, and she thought to herself:
[I see. She's quite clever. No wonder I didn't notice. The mother and daughter come so often; this way, they're meeting openly quite frequently.]
Ye Xiyao's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief:
No wonder I'd never seen Ye Zhenghui and my father meet; they're the same person.
Ye Xiyao was frequently summoned to the Longevity Hospital, and she had met Ye Zhenghui a few times.
Ye Jingyang gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead.
[That scumbag father is so cunning.]
Ye Li'an frowned, his eyes filled with anger and helplessness.
The mistress was right beside him; who could have imagined it?
I've been using my mother's money to support their family all these years; I must find a chance to get it back.
It's just that her father was too cautious. Even Ye Zhenghui, whose identity he claimed, died of illness two years ago. He definitely didn't leave anything important here. The only way to find evidence is to look in the courtyard on West Street.
Ye Yaoyao was pondering how to get back the money Ye Mian had taken from her mother.
Liu Yunshu's eyes were icy, and she sneered inwardly:
In the hearts of Ye Mian and his family, their son Ye Chengzhu and daughter Ye Yuanru are the legitimate children of the wife, while their own children are only fit to be stepping stones.
Ye Mian, I now know about your conspiracy. Let's see if you can still get what you want.
Ye Yaoyao then revealed more details.
Xue Ruoxue knew perfectly well that her scumbag father had become a heartless man, and that it was her own choice for her to become a mistress instead of her legal wife. She was no good person either.
But she actually harbored resentment towards her mother for stealing her husband; how shameless!
The triplets' faces were full of disdain: "They're truly shameless."
Let's vent our anger today.
"Snapped!"
Liu Yunshu couldn't hold back and slapped him again, interrupting the tender moment between the three of them. Ye Mian had finger marks on both sides of his face.
Liu Yunshu's slap was extremely forceful; the sound of the slap seemed to echo in the air. Her hand throbbed in pain as she shook it a few times.
"Madam, you've gone too far!" Ye Mian was truly angry, glaring at her and shouting, and the servants dared not look up.
His eyes were wide open, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, his face was ashen, and his roar was as loud as thunder.
Ye Mian is now a third-rank official; who would dare to slap him twice, especially in front of so many people?
At this moment, Ye Mian stopped pretending. His facial muscles were contorted, his teeth were clenched and grinding, and his ferocious face looked like a demon. He raised his hand to hit Liu Yunshu, and his raised palm carried a slight gust of wind.
[Oh no, that scumbag dad's about to make a move.]
Ye Jingyang's movements were swift and powerful as he gripped his wrist tightly.
The muscles in Ye Jingyang's arms tensed up; being a martial artist, Ye Mian couldn't break free.
"You unfilial son, let go!"
Ye Mian felt a pain in his wrist; the mother and son had really gone too far today.
Ye Jingyang showed no fear, his deep gaze fixed on Ye Mian.
“Father, you are a gentleman with a good reputation. If you hit Mother, it won’t sound good if word gets out.”
Ye Mian came to his senses and realized that he had lost control. He took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down.
His expression gradually calmed down, as if the ferocity he had just displayed had never existed.
Sichuan Opera is missing a talent like a scumbag father.
Liu Yunshu dared to hit him because her son was by her side; this was the first time Liu Yunshu had seen Ye Mian's ferocious face.
[I knew you liked to pretend, but I didn't expect you to have reached such a masterful level. My daughter was right, you really are a Ninja Turtle.]
Although I don't know the story behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I can still understand some of the literal meaning.
Ye Mian's tone returned to its former gentleness, and his face showed concern.
"My lady, I've noticed you've been acting strangely these past few days. Are you feeling unwell? I'll have the doctor examine you."
Liu Yunshu has indeed changed these past few days. He looked at Ye Yaoyao, and this abnormal phenomenon started after Ye Yaoyao was taken out of the coffin.
Ye Mian carefully observed the expressions of the mother and her children. Sure enough, their family had changed after Ye Yaoyao came back to life.
"Of course I feel uncomfortable, I feel very uncomfortable."
Liu Yunshu's voice was filled with heartache and anger.
She pulled Ye Xiyao over and raised her sleeve. Even after two or three days, the injury on her hand still looked gruesome.
Ye Xiyao's once fair and delicate arms were now covered with crisscrossing blue and purple marks, a shocking sight.
The scars resembled ugly centipedes crawling on Ye Xiyao's arms, evoking pity in those who saw them.
Tears welled in Liu Yunshu's eyes as she questioned Ye Mian in a trembling voice.
“Xiyao has always been well-behaved and sensible. Look at how your mother treats her granddaughter. Also, Xiyao once told you that your mother mistreated her.”
As a father, she tells you that she was mistreated by her grandmother, and instead of standing up for her, you make her suffer in silence.
"Ye Mian, was I wrong to hit you for doing this?"
