Chapter 192 Your Son is Useless
The old lady punished Ye Chulian to kneel, and the maid Suixi naturally knelt with her. She had been kneeling in the old lady's temporary house since noon, until it was dark, when she saw the old lady, Ye Jingsheng and Xiao Shubai slowly coming over to take care of her.
The old lady sat down in the main seat and felt that the room was too small, and without golden bricks on the floor, it looked too unimpressive.
So he told Ye Jingsheng: "You must hurry up and repair the mansion. Now that you are the head of the family, you should hire people and spend money to repair the damaged house. I can't live with you forever."
Ye Jingsheng's wounds had not healed yet. The whipping was not a big deal, but the shoulder was more troublesome. It bleeds from time to time, and he has a slight fever at night. Of course, it's not just him. Xiao, Ye Feizhou, and Xichun are also like this.
When he heard the old lady urging him to repair the mansion, he felt a little annoyed, thinking that he was sick, and he had to do such a small thing? But when the old lady mentioned that he was the head of the family, he had nothing to say.
The boss is gone and Mu Qianqiu is no longer the mistress. If he doesn't do this, who will?
But there are still people who can rely on others, such as Xiao Shubai. So he turned to scold Xiao Shubai: "Did you hear that? You are the mistress now. Don't just lie in the room all day long. You should do what you are supposed to do in the mansion!"
Xiao Shubai endured it again and again, but still nodded, "I understand."
In the past, Ye Jingsheng would not talk to Xiao like this, because he was the second wife, and the old general did not value the second wife when he was alive. Although he could not be said to be indifferent to them, he could only provide the most basic care. So he had to rely on the Ningguo Marquis Mansion Xiao family to support the facade, and he also wanted to rely on Ye Hongzhuang, the daughter of Xiao, to create a future for him.
That's why Xiao was really powerful in front of Ye Jingsheng at that time. This can be seen from the fact that she did not allow Ye Jingsheng to enter the room of her concubine Liu Yan for so many years.
Unfortunately, it was no longer possible now. Ye Jingsheng became the head of the family, and Ye Hongzhuang followed the hopeless Sixth Prince. The only good card in Xiao's hand was played to pieces. Add to that a weird son, and the words that the two said in despair and mental breakdown when they were locked up in Qihua Pavilion these days, which made her almost have no face in front of Ye Jingsheng.
So she had to bow her head and temporarily suppress her dominance, not wanting to provoke the new head of the family at this time.
Fortunately, the old lady was still on her side. After Ye Jingsheng finished speaking, the old lady continued: "Jingsheng is right, Shubai, you are the mistress of the house, you should worry more, so that you can highlight your status as the mistress of the house, and let everyone in the mansion remember who is the head of the family now. Do you understand?"
Xiao Shubai immediately bowed to the old lady and said, "My daughter-in-law understands everything. I will arrange to repair the mansion tomorrow."
The old lady was satisfied, but when she looked at Ye Chulian kneeling below, her anger rose again: "With the situation at home, it's fine if you can't help, but how can you make things worse? Listen to what people outside say. The inner city is your root. You said you followed Ye Wenyan to help the people in the outer city. What do you expect them to bring you? Can you marry into the outer city, or can you live in the outer city? Can you rely on those civilians in the outer city to find a way out in the future?"
The old lady was getting angrier and angrier as she spoke. "I really can't understand. You didn't have much contact with the children from the first house since you were a child. Why did you follow her this time? And your second brother actually followed her too. What kind of medicine did she give you? Didn't you really see what the mansion looked like? Didn't you really hear that your grandmother was trapped under the rubble and almost died? It's been so many days, and I still feel pain all over my body. Where were you at this time? I really raised you in vain, but in the end I couldn't even get a word of care from you. You did such a thing, how can the family put hope in you in the future?" Ye Chulian didn't say a word, and let the old lady nag and scold her. The timidity she had before was no longer there. She knelt straight, her eyes fixed on the gray bricks on the floor of the room. She was like a statue.
The old lady was so angry when she saw her, but she couldn't say anything too much, because there weren't many people she could rely on in the second house, and it could be said that there was no one except Ye Chulian. This concubine's daughter was good-looking and had a good figure, so she had to be kept for use, even if it was just to test the waters, she had to have a stone, right?
So she stopped scolding Ye Chulian and turned to talk to Xiao: "She is a concubine's daughter, yes, but she is also a child of my Ye family. As the mistress of the main house, you have the obligation to teach her well and raise her as your own daughter. You always wanted to be a mistress in the past, and now that you have succeeded, you should act like a mistress. First of all, it is not okay to be jealous, and it is also not okay not to raise a concubine's daughter as your own. Look at the official residences outside, even if they are fighting to the death behind the scenes, which mistress dares to treat concubines' sons and daughters harshly in public? Which mistress dares to stop a man from taking a concubine? That will be criticized, and her reputation will be ruined if it gets out." When the old lady said this, Ye Jingsheng also snorted coldly and glared at Xiao Shubai.
Xiao knew that she had gone too far in this matter. It was because she was not the mistress of the house before, and the second room lived a life behind closed doors. She thought that this would be the way her life would be, and no one would care about her. That was why she was the only one in her husband's eyes and heart all day long, and she was always displeased with Liu Yan and her daughter.
But now that she is the mistress, the situation can no longer be the same as before. This is her fault, and the old lady is right to teach her a lesson.
So she immediately stood up and knelt down: "I am ashamed. I did not do many things well in the past and lost my status as the mistress of the house. Thank you for your teachings, I will repent and correct my mistakes in the future. Please rest assured, mother and master."
The old lady nodded and glanced at Ye Jingsheng. She hoped that Ye Jingsheng would give Xiao a way out, but Ye Jingsheng just snorted coldly and said nothing, so she had to ask Xiao to get up. Xiao felt cold in her heart, but she didn't care about the relationship between husband and wife. There was something in her heart that she couldn't let go, so she took this opportunity to ask the old lady: "Mother, do you think this matter can be settled? Although the eldest sister-in-law released us from Qihua Pavilion, the fourth lady is also back. What if she..."
"Just give her an explanation if you're afraid of the worst, and shut her up!" The old lady snorted, "Logically speaking, she shouldn't make a fuss anymore. After all, she insisted that nothing happened on the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, and she kept emphasizing that she lived in the mansion. She also made up a story about a hallucination for me, making me almost think that I really had a hallucination. But this is logic, the problem is that Wen Yan never followed the rules that night, so you still have to explain what you should explain."
"How should I explain it?" Ye Jingsheng asked, "With her temper, what kind of explanation can shut her up?"
The old lady didn't say anything for a long time.
Ye Chulian was still kneeling, but the words of the elders seemed to have nothing to do with her. After a long time, she heard the old lady say: "It was not you two who did it. You just took the children to the temple. As for what happened on the way, it has nothing to do with you."
Xiao was silent for a while, then asked, "Mother, what do you mean..."
"What I mean is to give her an explanation so that she will let you go! Don't you understand? As for what this explanation is, what else can it be? What can she do with a simple apology? Whoever did it should take the blame. Just let her vent her anger and that's it! The important thing is to clear you two, don't you understand?"
"But Feizhou...he is our son after all, our only son." Xiao understood what the old lady meant. She wanted Ye Feizhou to take the blame. Although she had thought of this idea when she was in Qihua Pavilion, it was one thing for her to have thought of it, and it was another thing for the old lady to bring it up. "Mother, is there no other way?"
"What other methods can we use?" The old lady snorted again. "If there were any other methods, you wouldn't come to ask me. Shu Bai, people always have to make choices in their lives. If you can't bear to give up him, you have to be willing to give up yourself and your husband. Are you willing to stand in front of Ye Wenyan and take the blame? Listen to me, your son is useless. He can neither carry on the Ye family's lineage nor support the future first-class general's mansion. Useless, useless!"
Ye Chulian felt that when the old lady said these words, it was as if she was talking about an object, which was kept when it was useful and thrown away when it was no longer useful. She had no attachment to it at all, let alone any heartache.
She was a concubine's daughter and she was used to it. She didn't expect that the legitimate son would receive the same treatment, which suddenly made her feel much better.
He felt better and smiled unconsciously. However, the old lady saw him and asked him, "What are you laughing at? The Ye family doesn't keep useless people. Whoever is useless will be abandoned!"
Ye Chulian asked: "So you want to give up on the second brother? He is useless?"
No one answered her. The old lady just snorted coldly and went to talk to Ye Jingsheng again. She asked Ye Jingsheng: "What do you think?"
Ye Jingsheng said: "It's better than nothing. Even if it doesn't work, he is still a guy after all."
"If you don't have one, just give birth again. This guy with a penis is useless!" The old lady was a little angry and glared at Xiao fiercely.
Xiao already had a slight fever, and she felt so aggrieved by her glare that she started coughing.
Her sickly appearance made the old lady even more unhappy, but no matter how unhappy she was, she still wanted to continue to protect the Xiao family. After all, there had to be one of the women in the harem who stood with her, and the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion was indeed a helper, so Xiao Shubai had to surround them. Now was not the time to turn hostile...
