As he spoke, the carriage slowly stopped. It turned out that they had already arrived at the Great General Zhengxi’s Mansion.

The guard at the door saw a carriage slowly stop.

First, a burly man in rough clothes jumped down. Then, he saw a little girl in green jump down from the carriage with a smile.

Why did she look a little familiar?

The two guards looked at each other. The latter suddenly turned around and ran into the residence as if he had seen a ghost.

As he ran, he shouted, “Sixth Miss, Sixth Miss is back!”

Not long after, a group of maidservants, old maidservants, and servants holding clubs surrounded a woman in luxurious clothes and arrived at the entrance of the residence.

This luxuriously dressed Madam was none other than the First Madam of General Zhengxi’s Residence, Madam Bai.

Seeing that Li Da, who was standing beside Ye Qingge, was dressed in rough clothes and the material wasn’t very good, she just assumed that he was the driver of the carriage and ignored him.

“Sixth Miss, after you got married and divorced, you still haven’t returned all night. It is unbearable by the Ye family’s rules. Someone, bring Sixth Miss back to the ancestral hall.”

An old woman beside Mdm Bai shouted loudly. The passers-by in front of General Zhengxi’s Estate heard it clearly.

Immediately, discussions broke out.

“This is the sixth daughter of the Ye family?”

“Married? Divorced? Still not coming home all night?”

“Aiyo, it’s really immoral!”

“Shouldn’t she be thrown into a pig cage?”

A few servants with clubs in their hands also rushed out and surrounded Ye Qingge and Li Da.

The well-dressed Madam looked at Ye Qingge coldly. Yesterday, Minister Liu had brought his group of women to her door.

He said a bunch of unpleasant things about Madam Bai being unethical.

He was just short of pointing at her nose and scolding her. In the end, he refused to give up and insisted on getting back the fifty thousand taels of silver.

This was the first time in her life that she had been so frustrated.

Speaking of which, it was all Ye Yuyao and this little b*tch’s fault. She had returned at the right time.

Did she think that a divorce was enough? How could it be so easy?

Today, no matter what, she would make sure that Ye Qingge had no way out. In the end, she would obediently return to the Liu Residence to be a concubine.

She still had to get the fifty thousand taels of silver back for her.

“That’s strange. Is there a family rule in the Ye family that says that you can’t divorce after getting married? Moreover, it’s not that I have to divorce. I’m doing it for my sister.”

Ye Qingge’s beautiful eyes were wide open and she looked very obedient. She tilted her head and meditated as if she was really wondering if the Ye Family really had such a family rule.

Then, she said that she was about to cry and felt highly aggrieved. She even said that it was for her sister.

Could it be some secrets behind the Sixth Miss’s divorce?

“Of course, we can get married and divorce, but we can’t stay out all night.”

In order to prevent Ye Qingge from saying anything else about the divorce,

The old woman beside Madam Bai quickly interrupted her.

She glanced at Ye Qingge from the corner of her eyes and snorted disdainfully.

“Oh, oh, oh, I remember now. It’s said that girls who are not married are not allowed to stay out all night, but I’m already married. Moreover, I went to General Zhanbei’s residence, so it shouldn’t count.”

Ye Qingge looked at Li Da and Madam Bai at the door with an aggrieved expression. Her soft and timid appearance was familiar to everyone in the Ye family.

However, she did not seem to be familiar with it. Her words were really difficult to answer.

The old woman choked, not knowing what to say.

If she could tell her where she went, and it was a place like General Zhanbei’s Estate, it was naturally not against the family rules. Hence, she subconsciously glanced at Madam Bai.

Madam Bai flicked her sleeve and glared at the old woman.

She cursed in her heart. Useless thing.

“General Zhanbei’s Estate? Hmph! You’re spouting nonsense. If you tell me about other places, I’ll believe you for the time being. It’s impossible for you to stay at General Zhanbei’s Estate.”

Madam Bai sneered. She naturally knew about the many years of enmity between General Zhanbei and General Zhengxi.

This little slut actually said that she was going to General Zhanbei’s Estate. It could be said that she had personally given him something to use against her.

Today, she had to embarrass her in front of everyone. When the time came, it would be justifiable to send her back to the Liu residence to be a concubine.

No one would think that they had let her down as a legitimate mother. Instead, they would think that she had really treated her well.

“Mother, daughter really didn’t lie. I really stayed in General Zhanbei’s Estate for a night. The people in their residence are all very good.”

Ye Qingge hurriedly clarified, her slender fingers twisting in front of her.

Tears welled up in her eyes and were about to fall.

Her appearance was really pitiful.

However, that was not the case in Madam Bai’s eyes. She knew Ye Qingge had always been timid and would occasionally lie like this.

Judging from the way she twisted her fingers until her knuckles turned white, she must not have been at General Zhanbei’s Estate yesterday.

“Nonsense, it’s obvious that you’ve done something wrong. I’m afraid you’ve met some Tom, Dick, or Harry and ended up in some dirty place!”

Madam Bai pointed at Ye Qingge and scolded her. Her words were also very unpleasant to the ears.

Success!

Ye Qingge lowered her head and the corners of her lips curled up slightly. She was waiting for Madam Bai’s scolding.

Especially this kind of brainless scolding.

“Do you think I’m dead?”

Li Da’s face turned from black to white and then from white to red.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, instantly scaring Madam Bai and everyone else.

He had been listening since just now. The people from General Zhengxi’s Estate were really not good people.

This was especially true for Madam Bai. Qingge was such a good child. Look at how she had been bullied.

Besides, what dirty place did she just say? Any Tom, Dick, or Harry?

It was clearly a roundabout scolding. No, it was a scolding directed at General Zhanbei’s Estate!

“You’re a shrew. Qingge said that she went to General Zhanbei’s Estate yesterday, but you’re still talking nonsense. I think you’re just pretending to be a pig. Do you think General Zhengxi’s Estate is anything special? Bullsh*t?”

Li Da was a rough man, to begin with. At this moment, he was even more agitated, and his words were even more unpleasant.

There was still Master Jia restraining them in General Zhanbei’s Estate, now that they were in General Zhengxi’s Estate, no one could control him.

“You… Who do you think you are? How dare you cause trouble at the entrance of General Zhengxi’s Estate? Guards, take him down!”

Madam Bai almost fainted from Li Da’s scolding.

Yesterday, she was scolded by Minister Liu. Today, she was scolded again.

After being the wife of a general for so many years, when had she ever suffered such a loss?

She had lost face to such a person before?

And it was in front of her house?

She thought that he was just a scoundrel, hence, Madam Bai did not take Li Da seriously.

She immediately instructed the servants to tie Li Da up.

“You want to touch me? I’m afraid you don’t have the ability.”

Li Da stretched his shoulders and fought with the servants.

Although there were many servants in General Zhengxi’s Estate, Li Da was a veteran on the battlefield after all. His strength was also one of a kind.

Seeing that the servants could not gain any advantage, the maidservant beside Madam Bai, Ling Long, took a step forward.

“Madam, why don’t we report this to the officials? The governor is here to see if he can beat the bailiffs.”

When Madam Bai heard that it made sense, she immediately sent someone to report it to the officials.
