With that, the old lady put down her teacup and looked at the crowd, thinking about how Nanny Jiang had mentioned that the young master of the Shen family had saved Ye Yuning.
At this moment, in front of so many people, this matter was not to be mentioned. However, the old lady's gaze at Ye Yuning was obviously different, as Ye Yuning could naturally feel it.
Her expression did not change, she stood behind Lady Wen with her eyes lowered, looking at the old lady in a well-behaved and sensible manner. Looking at the old lady's appearance, she seemed to have faintly realised that her relationship with Young Master Shen was not ordinary, which was why she had such an attitude, and since Ye Yuning did not explain further, it seemed like the old lady was thinking along the same lines.
Just as everyone was waiting for Ye Yujiao, Nanny Jiang suddenly rushed into the house and rushed in front of the old lady, and said: "Old madam, the Qiao Family has sent a letter."
The Old Mistress took the letter from Nanny Jiang's hands and opened it to read.
Seeing that, Ye Yuning had a bad premonition. The old lady's eyes flickered for a long time, then she folded the letter and stuffed it into her sleeves.
Before long, Ye Yujiao was brought into the house. Although she had cleaned herself up, it could still be seen that her complexion was haggard. Her small face was so pale that no makeup could cover it. When the fear in her eyes saw that Ye Yuning was safe and sound, it instantly turned into hatred.
Ye Yuning raised her eyebrows, "Did Eighth Sister wish for me to die? "Why are you looking at me like that for?"
Ye Yujiao was about to pounce on her, but she was stopped by the servant girl behind him.
The Old Mistress sat upright in the hall, her previous anger had disappeared. When she saw Ye Yujiao entering, she did not utter a single word of reprimand, but only raised her cup and drank her tea, keeping it a secret.
"Grandmother, Ye Yuning wronged me! I didn't push her. It was the maid who accidentally tripped her before she fell into the river. " Ye Yujiao forced herself to kneel on the ground after taking a few steps.
With that, he saw a girl dressed in green being pushed forward, it was Ye Yujiao's head maid, Rou Yu. Her entire body was in a sorry state, especially her face, which was as pale as death.
Ye Yuning frowned. It looks like Concubine Qiao and her have already discussed a plan to deal with this.
Ye Yuning casually said. "Eighth Sister, tell me, how did the soft jade trip me over? At that time when you were walking in front and the soft jade and the sweet smell were at the back, were her legs that long? "
Ye Yujiao glared at her fiercely: "If you say it's soft jade, then it's soft jade. If you don't believe me, ask her!"
Turning her head, Soft Jade's body trembled as she hurriedly fell to the ground, "Yes, it's me. I tripped over Third Miss when I was walking unsteadily." This servant is at fault, and is willing to bear all the punishments. "
From her appearance, it was obvious that she had been forced to confess her guilt.
Lady Wen was furious in her heart, and snorted: "She's only a servant, how dare she do such a thing? Bullshit! At that time, Fei Qing was present, and we could see clearly that it was Yujiao who did it. "
"Aunt, I'm your niece, can it be that you think I'm the one who did it based on the words of a servant?" Ye Yujiao didn't even flinch when facing Lady Wen, raising her head and asking, "Fei Qing is Third Sister's personal servant girl, of course I will do as Third Sister says."
Ye Yuning was so angry that she laughed instead. It's fine if Ye Yujiao didn't admit it, but he actually wanted to splash dirty water all over her body?
Lady Wen could not take it anymore, and bowed to the old lady once again. "Old madam, I have long known about this, please make the decision."
The old lady did not utter a word, she stroked the white jade ring on her thumb, her gaze sweeping across the crowd, and finally landing on Ye Yujiao.
Ye Yujiao was not afraid in the slightest as she raised her head to look directly at her. A look of disgust flashed past the old lady's eyes, and was quickly covered up as she coughed lightly and said, "Since the soft jade has admitted it, then she is the one who did it."
"Old madam!" Lady Wen was shocked.
Although Ye Yuning was mentally prepared, she could not help but be shocked. She raised his head and looked at the old lady, her gaze filled with doubt, the old lady did not look at her, she lowered her head to drink her tea, and then announced slowly: "The owner of the flexible jade injured body, shall be punished according to the rules, and be kicked out of the house."
With a single sentence, he had concluded this matter.
Lady Wen stepped forward, and just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Ye Yuning who shook her head, signalling for him to be patient.
"Humph!" Ye Yujiao, who was kneeling on the ground, snorted complacently. Seeing Ye Yujiao's confident and proud look, Ye Yuning's eyes darkened.
"Since this matter has already been concluded, Mother, let's go!" Ye Yuning quickly pulled Lady Wen and left the Pingjing garden.
"Yu Ning, why are you holding onto me? "It's truly too much for the madame to be so biased towards the second house!" Lady Wen was so angry that her face was flushed.
Ye Yuning laughed coldly, "Mother, you already know that she favors the mother and daughter. Once a person's heart was inclined, it would never grow back. Do you expect her to change for the way she has always treated us? " It was hard to conceal the excitement and anger in Ye Yuning's voice, but what was more, was deep disappointment.
She had thought that the madame would be impartial in the end, but in the end, she had been too naive. How could such a person be worthy of being her grandmother?
Ye Yuning flung her sleeves hatefully, "It's useless to throw stones to seek directions. Since she's so biased, don't blame me for being heartless." Ye Yuning thought to herself. She had already decided that he would never try to please her again.
Seeing her daughter's expression, Lady Wen's nose turned sour. He could not help but hold her and shed tears in pain, "My pitiful daughter! You are also a granddaughter, and although you are a direct grandson, you are not even comparable to that concubine's grandson! Go! Let's return to the Fragrant Garden and not see her face! "
Lady Wen carried Ye Yuning and walked towards the Fragrant Garden.
Ye Yuning calmed her emotions. She had already expected the situation today, but she had been hoping for something good. Now that she could see the reality clearly, it was a good thing for her.
On the way back, Ye Yuning comforted her all the way back, and only then did she stop crying.
"Mom, I'm a bit tired. I'll go back and rest first." "You should go back to your room and lie down. I'll accompany you for lunch." Ye Yuning said softly, seeing that Lady Wen had supported him into the house, he turned and returned to his own small courtyard.
"Fei Xiu, go and find out what was written in that letter." Once inside, Ye Yuning instructed.
In the beginning, the old lady was extremely angry at Concubine Qiao and her daughter, and even allowed Lin mama to slap Concubine Qiao. But after reading the letter, she suddenly changed her attitude, picked it up heavily, and gently put it down, letting Ye Yujiao go just like that!
There must be a secret.
