"Grandfather."

When Qi Mu stepped into the room, he paid no attention to the others. He only bowed with a beaming smile to Ye Chonglou, his tone gentle yet forceful, giving others an inexplicable feeling of comfort.

"Right." Ye Zichen looked at her weakly and forced a smile, "Little girl, why are you here?"

"Coincidentally, my younger sister came to find me this morning and cried pitifully. I asked her what was wrong, but she refused to tell me. She said it was her fault, so I comforted her a bit, then she left."

"I just slept with Yang Yang, so I was worried. I came to find little sister Qiao, but coincidentally, little sister's room is empty. I thought to myself that she must have come to the main house to serve grandma, which was why she came here."

Qi Mu recounted the cause of this matter clearly. He thought about what he should do in this mess.

Ye Chonglou only nodded slightly and didn't reply, but his gaze towards Qi Mu was full of satisfaction. Sisterhood and love each other, Mu Lü was a sensible girl.

"Serving me?! I am just a useless person, how can I call someone to serve me?! "

Madame Li snorted lightly, glancing sideways at Qi Mu as she coldly said, "This family is really getting more and more unruly. This little girl's words are neither light nor heavy."

"Grandmother, don't say it like that. Everyone in the village knows this. Since young, the little girl has been raised by you, so she is the closest to you."

Summer is afraid that you will get hot and fan by fan for the whole day. Winter is afraid that you will get cold, and hot water is like a pot of boiling water, which is then sent to the house.

Qi Mu's eyes were as calm as water as she gazed at the slightly distorted face of Lady Li. She calmly replied with a faint smile.

"You …"

Madame Li slightly raised her head, her eyes filled with a sinister light. Just as she was about to reprimand Qi Mu, Ye Chonglou suddenly stood up and shouted:

"Is there something wrong with what Mu Er said?"

"What exactly do you want?! Don't force laozi to really let you go! "

Li Zhiqing complained in her heart when she saw this. She quickly poured a cup of tea, held it in front of Old Man Ye with both hands, and gently urged,

"Dad, mom has been working for this family for most of her life. We are a family without any contributions or hardships. Why can't we talk properly?" Father, please sit. "

When Ye Chonglou saw his daughter-in-law being filial, he sighed faintly and didn't say anything for a while.

"Even Third Bro's wife knows that I've been worrying about this family for most of my life, and it was so easy to pull these three kids up. But you, you want to divorce me with a single sentence? Fine, go divorce me, and see how the whole Niu Family will stab you in the back!"

Madame Li was suddenly interrupted by the Ye family's old patriarch in front of the big boss, and she felt that she had lost all face. Thinking of the grievances she had suffered this morning, the hardships she had gone through as a wife … He made up his mind and followed Li Zhiqing's instructions. He was willing to risk his life to try to save some face.

She didn't believe that old fogey would dare to let her go. She had given birth to three men for him, and they were the Ye Family's saviors!

He looked at the Ye Family's old patriarch's pale face for a split-second, and his slightly trembling body, and sighed in his heart, "Human, they really can't be impulsive. This time, this lucky grandfather of hers is truly angry."

She and the Ye family's old patriarch had lived for more than half of their lives, and ever since their marriage, this old and immortal man didn't care about his matters at all. She didn't know what had happened these past few days, but she had to help out with everything, regardless of whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with her.

She thought that it was only right for Da Zhuang to take care of his brother and help him in this family. Thus, she wanted to go and ask, but she didn't expect that this old fogey would object the moment she heard him …

With this thought, Madame Li became enthralled. She only felt that what she did was right. For a moment, her brain was muddled, and she somewhat complacently opened her mouth to speak, chattering nonstop:

"When the Ye family was rich and powerful, I married you, but I didn't expect that later on, things would decline and I would be forced to eat." When the Ye family was rich and prosperous, I married you, but I didn't expect that later, things would decline and I wouldn't expect that later.

"Mother!" Mother, what are you talking about? Hurry up and stop … "

Li Zhiqing cried out in alarm. What happened to her mother-in-law today? How could she say such words? Wasn't this publicly slapping her father-in-law's face?

After hearing Li Zhiqing's reminder, Madame Li suddenly came back to her senses. She was at a loss and said to Old Man Ye,

"I, I …" "Old gramps, listen to me, I don't have that intention …"

Ye Chonglou looked coldly at her and didn't say anything. He turned and walked straight into the inner room, leaving behind a room full of people looking at each other in dismay and feeling uneasy, especially Madame Li, who was teetering on the brink of collapse.

When the two ladies were arguing, Qi Mu had already snuck up beside the little girl. He naturally held the little girl's hand and squeezed it, then smiled at her. Seeing that the little girl was also smiling at her, he turned to look in the direction of the Ye family's old patriarch.

Was he about to cast an Amplification spell? He didn't know if Lady Li could endure the consequences of a man's pride being provoked.

Zhang Chunji, who was at the side, was surprised upon seeing the interaction between his daughter and Qi Mu. His face revealed an extremely strange and puzzled expression. When did the two of them become so good? How is that possible?

He came back with an ashen face, holding a piece of straw paper, a pen, a piece of ink, and a piece of ink stone. Without even looking at them, he threw them on the table, raised his head, and spoke coldly to Madame Li.

"You were the one who insisted on choosing your own life back then. No matter how useless I am, I've never forced you to marry me!"

"From now on, I will break up with you. In any case, the three children are already old, so there's no need for us to worry about them. In the future, when they pass each other, you and I will pass each other."

"I'll write it right now. With it in hand, you can go wherever you want. Whomever you want to go with, no one will starve you to death!"

With that, Ye Chonglou waved his pen and started writing the letter. His expression turned serious, causing Madame Li to be shocked for a moment before kneeling on the ground, tightly hugging Ye Chonglou's thigh. Tears welled up in her eyes as she pleaded:

"Old man, don't! I've followed you for so many years, and you can't give up on me for the sake of our old friendship. Without me, who will serve you in the future? Don't …"

Li Zhiqing, Ye Dateng, Zhang Chunji, the coquettish girl, and the others also followed Lady Li and knelt down as well, crying and begging the old man not to write a divorce letter, in order to forgive Lady Li this time.

In the entire room, aside from the Ye family's old patriarch, only Qi Mu remained standing. She was still smiling faintly like before, light as the wind, light as the clouds, her appearance was still not as pretty as before, but her temperament was like orchids, clear and elegant.

"Grandfather, can we listen to what your granddaughter has to say?"

Qi Mu stepped forward and gently grabbed the Ye family's old man's wrist. She calmly looked at the elder before her, her gaze clear and firm as she slowly spoke.

"Alright."

Ye Chonglou gazed at Qi Mo for a long while before finally nodding his head in agreement. Everyone in the room immediately focused on Qi Mu with a nod. Some people were hopeful, some were happy, and some were gritting their teeth …

"Grandfather, there are no such things as black and white in this world. Sometimes, it's better for everyone to take a step back and leave something for others to do."

Seeing that Ye Zichen's expression changed a bit, Qi Mu paused, then continued.

"Grandfather and Grandmother have already lived for more than half of their lives. If grandfather were to suddenly divorce Grandmother, what would the people in the village think of that? It must be known that Grandmother's reputation has always been great. To be able to repudiate a wife without any fault is the same as having a great grandfather. "

This was a reminder to Ye Chonglou on the consequences of rejecting his wife. It wasn't heavy, but it was light, and it had a huge impact on him. He knew that his descendants wouldn't be able to hold their heads up in the village.

"Besides, if this becomes a small matter and a small matter becomes a small matter, doesn't grandpa want our family to be at peace?" Isn't this easy? Why must they split up their family? "

"Let's list the things that we need to do at home. We can split them up and split them up. We can't split up on the surface, but we can't split up. In fact, we can all live our own lives. If you are hardworking, then you will live a good life. If you aren't hardworking, then who will you blame?"

"If that's the case, then I don't need to wait in the main house all day. What should I teach you in the future? Even if you want to beat me up or scold me, it will all be up to First Aunt and Uncle. No one can say that!"

"It's just that I can't write that letter. At most, I'll just share the room, and then it'll look better outside. Granddad's days are better now, and Grandmother can still stay at home and enjoy the rest of her life."

"Of course, no matter what grandpa decides, I, my father, my mother, my sister-in-law, will definitely be filial to grandpa. grandpa doesn't have to worry, and don't be sad. You still have to watch Yang Ran grow up."

Old Man Ye looked gratifyingly at Qi Mu as tears seemed to flash past his eyes. He pursed his lips and said after a long while:

"Just do as Mu Liuyue said. I'm tired. Mu Liuyue, you take care of it. Just bring it over for me to take a look."

"Hmph, if anyone bullies you, I won't listen to you, so come and have a good talk with me. See if I beat them to death."

Ye Chonglou turned around and walked into the room after he finished speaking. His back was a bit hunched. He threw this matter to Qi Mu decisively.
