In the ancestral hall.

It was getting dark, and even though it was late at night in the summer, dusk had already begun to fall.

Ever since he told Ye Jingru to kneel here, Ye Shisui had not looked at Ye Jingru, nor did he tell her when to get up.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingru couldn't help but be enraged, and she knocked over the dessert Wen Yuan sent over, leaving a mess on the floor.

Wen Yuan, who was lighting a lamp at the side, was startled by the sound of it. "Second Miss, don't throw something. The old master is still angry."

Speaking of Ye Shisui, she became even angrier. "Daddy is punishing me for that slut!"

"Daddy doesn't like me anymore."

Seeing that her young miss was not feeling well, Wen Yuan could only comfort her: "Second young miss, the old master must love the young miss the most, it will be fine once the old master's anger has dissipated."

Ye JinRu completely ignored him as her ten fingers viciously gripped the handkerchief as she gnashed her teeth, "Mother was hurt by that slut to the point that she still hasn't awoken yet. Father still wants to protect that slut!"

"It's all because of that bitch!"

Wen Yuan was at a loss for words. She looked around in fear of being caught, telling the old master that he would implicate Ye Jingru before she was punished. He quickly packed up his things and quietly left.

Ye Jinsu saw Wen Yuan slip out of the ancestral hall with a box in her hand.

Xiao Hong usually hated Wen Yuan's arrogant attitude the most, so when she saw this scene, she immediately wanted to shout at Wen Yuan to catch him.

Ye Jinsu pulled on Little Red.

"Don't talk." Ye Jinsu stopped Little Red's actions, "We're not here to capture Wen Yuan."

This was not a small matter.

Most importantly, the one in the ancestral hall.

When they entered the ancestral hall, they heard Ye Jinru mumbling at the door. Only when they got closer did Ye Jinsu understand that these were all vicious curses.

Ye Jinxiu had never believed in ghosts and gods. She stood behind Ye Jinxiu quietly and listened for a long time. Finally, she moved her eyelids and calmly asked, "Second sister, how does it feel to be kneeling in the ancestral hall?"

Ah!

Everything was quiet. Ye Jingru was immersed in her own inner world. Suddenly, she heard a sound from behind her, giving her a fright. Turning around, he realized it was Ye Jinsu.

Ye Jingru was frightened, but she held back her anger. She stood up on the spot to hit Ye Jinsu.

Xiao Hong wanted to protect Ye Jinsu, but she moved faster. Grabbing Ye JinRu's hand, he pressed her down and she kneeled down once again.

She had already knelt for quite a while, and her legs were unable to support her as she was easily pressed to the ground.

Ye Jingru struggled for a long time, but her strength could not defeat Ye Jinsu. In the end, she could only glare at Ye Jinsu with anger and say, "Bitch!"

"Don't be complacent. In a few days, I'll definitely kill you!"

Ye Jinsu pretended as if she hadn't heard her obscenities. These vulgar, low-class words still couldn't enrage her.

"Do you really think that Father will kill me?"

Ye Jinsu asked with a smile, looking calm and composed, causing Ye JinRu to feel guilty.

What Ye Jinsu said to Ye Zheng that day, she heard very clearly from behind. Ye Zhenzhi would not kill her.

But this wasn't for sure. She definitely wouldn't let Ye Jinsu continue acting so arrogantly. "Do you really think you're that amazing?"

"Our Ye Clan, the Scholar's Manor, is controlled by our father!"

There would be a day when that slut, Ye Jinsu, would die in her hands!

Ye Jinsu laughed when she heard this, as if she had heard some interesting joke, "That's right, the Ye family is still managed by father."

Ye Jingru's face sank, "What do you want to say?"

Ye Jinxiu shook her head, "It's nothing. I just thought that my father was in so much pain for you, second sister."

"I didn't expect it to be so little."

"Didn't I punish you to kneel here?"

When this poke hit Ye JinRu, she shouted angrily at Ye Jinsu, "Then why don't you blame this bitch!"

"If it wasn't for you, father would never have punished me!"

Slut, slut. As she kept repeating the same word over and over again, Ye Jinsu's ears became callused from listening.

She smiled as if she was laughing at Ye JinRu's naivety, "Do you really think that your father punished you because of me?"

"Why else?" Ye Jingru retorted.

If Ye Jinsu hadn't called in an outsider, how could Ye Shisui bear to punish her?

However, Ye Jinsu shook her head, "Second sister, father is still one of the most important ministers in the court. He can see everything that's happening up there."

"Does he not understand the scheming between you and your mom?"

"It's been so many years, and father has already let both of you go as far as you can. Maybe father is already tired of Second Mother, so this time, it's …"

Ye Jinsu hadn't even finished speaking when Ye JinRu couldn't bear to listen anymore. She stood up and attacked Ye Jinsu, "You slut, what are you saying!"

Little Red had a lot of strength as it pushed Ye Jingru down once again.

Ye Jinru sneered, "Ye Jinsu, your mother was hated by your father, and my mother was doted upon by my father. I know you are jealous of my mother."

"But there's no need for you to deceive yourself. No one can replace the feelings that father and mother have for each other."

Ye Jinsu looked at Ye Jinru, who was pressing on the ground. She placed a stick of incense on the Ye family tablet and softly asked, "Can you replace the son?"

"What do you mean?"

Ye Jinsu turned around and smiled, "What do I mean? Second sister should understand."

"The Ye Clan only has one successor, but your mother wasn't able to live up to her expectations and only had you. She's been very weak all these years, and the doctor said she's not fit to have another baby. "

"What does it matter!" Ye JinRu quickly retorted, "Father only has my mother in his heart. He would never take a concubine for his mother's sake."

"Of course, of course not," Ye Jinsu said softly. "The son of a concubine is a concubine, how will he inherit his family business in the future?"

"Of course it's to divorce your mother, and then continue."

Ye Jingru's face paled.

"Impossible!" Ye JinRu spoke firmly as if she was comforting herself, "Daddy won't do that. Daddy isn't that kind of person!"

Ye Jinsu looked at the flustered expression on her face and laughed, "That's true. Father hasn't mentioned anything about his son all these years."

"Actually, it's not impossible for a concubine to inherit his family business. Someone has to inherit such a large family business, don't you think so, second sister?" Ye Jinxiu suddenly changed her tone and asked Ye JinRu softly.

Ye Jingru's expression was very ugly.

That's right, someone has to inherit such a large family business.

Even if the father had her and the mother in his heart, he should still have a son to inherit the family's inheritance.

Seeing her expression as if she was about to collapse, Ye Jinsu knew that she had fallen for Ye JinRu's words. Ye Shisan turned to the ancestral tablets and smiled. This matter sounded even more suspenseful than before. If it was in the past, Ye JinRu would definitely not believe it.

But now, it was different. After being punished, their hearts were hidden grievances and complaints. Ye Jinsu also said that she wanted to divorce her wife, so it made sense for her to take in a concubine.

Ye Jingru was so nervous that her nails turned white.

Ye Jinsu continued to speak slowly, "My grandparents in the countryside have also been urging my father to do this for their children countless times."

"Second sister should be aware of the letters home sent over the years, the only purpose of sealing it is to urge father to accept another sect."

"Recently, my father has intended to bring Grandfather and Grandmother back to live in the capital. Do you think that my father has tacitly agreed to my Grandfather and Grandmother's request to accept another girl into the clan?"

"I wonder which family's girl she belongs to," Ye Jinsu raised his voice and said, "When she gives birth to a son, I'm afraid that only my second sister and second mother will be able to live in this Ye Residence."

As she spoke, her face completely lost all color.

Having no son was the biggest worry of the Xie Clan.

The Ye Family had to have no children. Sooner or later, this matter would come to an end. However, he didn't know if that result would be what Ye JinRu wanted.
