Chapter 35

Matriarch Ye was in front while Madam Bai led everyone behind.

Seeing Matriarch Ye’s attitude towards her just now, Madam Bai knew very well that Matriarch Ye was most likely angry.

Ye Qingge supported Concubine Liu at the back.

She calculated in her heart that this old lady probably knew about what had happened in the residence recently.

Just from that glance, she knew that this old lady did not come with good intentions.

When they arrived at the main hall, Matriarch Ye sat down at the master seat with the help of her two granddaughters.

As she did not order everyone to sit, the people led by Madam Bai stood obediently.

Matriarch Ye looked around at everyone and slowly closed her eyes. After a while, she suddenly opened them. Her gaze was as sharp as an eagle.

“Madam Bai, what’s going on with the third and sixth girls?”

Matriarch Ye slammed the table as she spoke. It was obvious that she was really angry.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Madam Bai hurriedly tried to clear her name. “Dear mother-in-law, I don’t know what’s going on either. Sixth Girl was supposed to marry Minister Liu, but for some reason, she became Third Girl…”

“Silly thing! How old is Minister Liu? How can you marry Sixth Girl to him?” Although this Sixth Girl was really useless, she was still a young lady of the Ye Residence after all. How could she marry so easily? Matriarch Ye glared at Madam Bai as she spoke.

“Mother-in-law, although Minister Liu is a little old, he promised a wife position. I think with Ge’er’s personality, it won’t be a disgrace to marry her.” Madam Bai defended herself. At that time, she had thought of an excuse for daring to do this.

“Then why did you bring the third girl along? Look at the situation now. One of the six girls in the residence has a bad reputation as smelly as shit, and the other is divorced. What are you going to do with the other girls? The eldest and second girls are about to be engaged. Aren’t you going to think about them?”

Matriarch Ye slammed the table and scolded. Everyone else lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Only Ye Qingge almost laughed out loud.

Smelly as shit?

From the way she spoke, this old lady was a little cute.

“Mother-in-law, It’s not that I didn’t think for the children. I really didn’t expect that the third girl would come back crying. She said that there was something else going on.”

As Madam Bai spoke, tears fell. It looked like it was true.

Not bad, another good actor.

It seemed that everyone in this cheap father’s residence was talented.

Ye Qingge clicked her tongue in wonder.

Then, she looked askance at Madam Bai as she told Matriarch Ye what Ye Yuyao had said with tears in her eyes.

When Matriarch Ye heard this, she slammed the table. Ye Qingge knew that it was her turn to go on stage.

Hence, as soon as Madam Bai finished speaking before Matriarch Ye could call her, Ye Qingge started crying.

Upon hearing Ye Qingge cry, Matriarch Ye felt her head go numb. This girl was really too good at crying. Once, she knelt in her courtyard and cried for a day and a night. Then, she did not sleep for a day and a night.

If Matriarch Ye lived in the modern era, she would know that there was psychological trauma.

“Ge’er, don’t cry. Speak slowly.”

As Matriarch Ye spoke, she touched her forehead. After not sleeping for a day and night, the headache was brought back by her crying.

Ye Qingge cried as she repeated the words she had said in the Liu Residence.

In summary, there were only three words: I don’t know!

Madam Bai glared at Ye Qingge and gritted her teeth. There was nothing she could do. Why was this b*tch so good at talking?

She had actually taken off all her clothes.

“Ge’er, let me ask you one last time. Were you really not the one who knocked the third girl out?”

Matriarch Ye looked at Ye Qingge and observed her every move.

“Grandmother, it’s indeed not Qingge. Besides, Qingge doesn’t have that ability.”

Matriarch Ye nodded after hearing this.

Indeed, she knew what the sixth girl was like. Not to mention hiding in the Liu residence’s woodshed without anyone knowing, she could not even knock the third girl out.

“The sixth girl’s ability is not ordinary. Servent Li is still lying in bed and can’t get out.”

Madam Bai glanced at Ye Qingge. She would not let her off so easily.

“Oh? Is Li hurt?”

Matriarch Ye looked at Madam Bai, who exaggerated how Li was injured by Ye Qingge.

When Matriarch Ye heard this, she looked at Ye Qingge. “Sixth Miss, is this true?”

“Grandmother, I did hurt Li. My mother wanted to take me to the Liu Mansion to be a concubine. I didn’t agree, so Li hurt Aunt Liu. I was scared out of my wits. I wanted to scare Li, but I didn’t know that thing was so powerful.”

“Go to the Liu residence as a concubine later? What’s going on with Madam Bai?”

Matriarch Ye caught the main point.

“Mother-in-law, listen to me. It’s mainly because this Qingge girl doesn’t have a good family now that she’s divorced, and Minister Liu is willing to give Ge’er a place to stay. He’s also infatuated with her, so I think it’s better to let her have a lover.”

“Infatuated? I think he’s blinded by lust! Isn’t it enough for our Ye family’s girl to marry one? You let him do as he pleases! Kneel down!”

Matriarch Ye slammed the table and clutched her chest in anger.

Ye Suyun, who was beside her, hurriedly helped her calm down. Ye Qingyue also persuaded her, and only then did she feel a little better.

Madam Bai, on the other hand, knelt down reluctantly with a flushed face.

After marrying into the Ye Residence for so many years, she had never knelt down to her parents except on their wedding day. This was the first time.

She could not help but feel endless hatred for Concubine Liu and Ye Qingge. She wished she could chop them up with an axe right now.

Ye Qingge didn’t feel anything. It was normal for Madam Bai to hate her. If Madam Bai stopped hating her one day, Madam Bai would probably be out of her mind or she would be the unlucky one.

It was only after Matriarch Lu had calmed down for a while that she felt less stuffy in her chest.

Hence, she pointed at Madam Bai. “You don’t have to take care of the matters in the residence during this period of time. From today onwards, everything in the residence will be reported to me. Stay in your courtyard and reflect for a month, do you hear me?”

“Yes.”

Madam Bai felt extremely aggrieved, but she could only accept the order. She originally wanted to secretly marry Ye Qingge while Old Madam was not around. When the time came, what was done was done. She would then say some benefits from marrying over and this matter would be resolved perfectly.

However, who knew that so many things would happen in between and implicate Ye Yuyao?

It didn’t matter if she was involved, but Ye Qingge divorced and managed to escape from the Liu Residence.

Initially, she thought that although he had escaped, she could at least avenge herself by kidnapping her and sending her back to the Liu residence to be a concubine.

Unexpectedly, she did not succeed and even injured Li.

Now, she had even been punished. Not only did she reflect in the courtyard, but she also lost her authority as the head of the family.

This was the second time in his life that she had suffered such a huge loss. The first time was when Li was injured.

Could it be that she could not defeat that little b*tch? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. In the end, Madam Bai’s eyes rolled back and she fainted.

“Mother!” Ye Suyun and Ye Qingyue cried out in unison and hurriedly ran over.

Matriarch Ye also bowed and left her seat to see how Madam Bai was doing.

The maidservants screamed for a doctor.

Hence, the hall was in chaos.

Only Ye Qingge looked at Madam Bai and rubbed her chin as she made a guess.

Tsk tsk, this veteran actor, Madam Bai, was probably pretending, right?

If Madam Bai knew what Ye Qingge was thinking, she would probably wake up from her anger.
