It was rare for Second Madam to be so forceful. From the second day onwards, she no longer lay in bed, but instead mustered her strength and used the authority of the Matriarch to order a few aunts to serve her.
Concubine Qiao was pushed aside by the other aunts. She had overturned her tea bowl, or dirtied her clothes, looking very miserable. The most surprising thing was that the second master stayed in the second wife's room for one night. Although it was only one night, it was shocking enough. One had to know that it had been several months since the Second Madam had entered her room.
The transformation of the second house had become the focus of everyone in Ye's Mansion. Everyday, Fei Qing would bring back news and report it to Ye Yuning without saying a word.
Just as Ye Yuning was relieved, Ye Yujiao suddenly walked out of the courtyard.
The cool autumn wind was blowing, and the holly trees in the courtyard swayed with the wind. A few pots of chrysanthemums were placed under the veranda, bright red, bright yellow, and purple.
Ye Yuning sat on the porch and studied the book in her hands.
"Miss, Bai Yi made this Qiu Pear Ointment." Fei Qing held onto the small blue and white porcelain bowl, and inside the bowl, was the thick liquid of a black crow.
Ye Yuning did not like the smell of it, and wrinkled her nose: "Take it away, I'm not drinking it."
"But this was instructed by the Madam." Fei Qing advised, "Madam knows that it has been hard for you to learn incense, so I specially instructed the servants to make some autumn pear paste and snow clam paste for you."
Ye Yuning bit her lips, barely able to take the bowl and drank half of it.
As the master and servant were talking, a commotion suddenly came from outside the small courtyard. Ye Yuning raised her head and saw Ye Yujiao bringing a group of people over.
"Why did Eighth Sister come here instead of waiting in the room to weave your dowry?" Ye Yuning raised his eyebrows.
Ye Yujiao was dressed in a pink jacket with green fringes. She was wearing a light yellow cotton dress with pearl hairpins stuck into her bun.
Upon entering the courtyard, Ye Yujiao looked around as if no one was around, and walked step by step in front of Ye Yuning.
"Ye Yuning, stop putting on an act in front of me!"
Ye Yujiao laughed sinisterly. Her originally beautiful face now made people shiver.
These few days, due to Qiao Yinkun, the Old Granny's attitude towards Concubine Qiao and her daughter had changed, and her discussion with the Li's Mansion had also been delayed, so the Residence did not dare to continue discussing about Ye Yujiao's shameful matter.
Ye Yujiao was no longer willing to endure after staying in her room for a few days.
"A few days ago, I lost a piece of jade hairpin. I remember it fell at your place, Third Sister." Ye Yujiao caressed the pearl hairpin and said, "That hairpin was given to me by the old lady and it is extremely precious. If I can't find it, the old lady will definitely be angry."
Ye Yujiao sneered, she raised her jade hand and pointed, and the servants behind her immediately rushed forward. Seeing that this group of people did not have any good intentions, Fei Qing walked forward and spread her arms in front of Ye Yuning.
"Eighth Miss, this is the long room, it's not up to you to behave atrociously!"
Ye Yujiao tilted her head and stared at Fei Qing, her eyes were like a poisonous snake, "You're the one that ruined my plans! What? You're just a servant, yet you dare to block my way? "
Before his voice fell, Ye Yujiao swung his palm towards Fei Qing. Fei Qing's eyes flashed, and he stood in place without moving. It was easy for her to evade the palm strike, but the young miss behind her couldn't evade it.
After all, Ye Yujiao was the Miss of Ye's Mansion, and she couldn't make a move here.
In a split-second, a thought flashed through Fei Qing's mind.
Pow!
"Fei Qing!" Ye Yuning suddenly stood up and exclaimed.
With one hand, he pulled Fei Qing in front of him. Ye Yuning pulled up her face to look and immediately, her face was filled with anger. Fei Qing's originally delicate and pretty face now had a red mark.
Miss, this servant is fine, it's just a slap, it's much lighter than the Li's Mansion's rod. Fei Qing laughed. On the surface, he looked indifferent and indifferent, but this kind of Fei Qing made Ye Yuning feel especially pained.
Gently pulling Fei Qing behind him, Ye Yuning raised his gaze to look at Ye Yujiao. His almond eyes were deep as he said angrily: "Ye Yujiao, you dare hit my servant girl?"
"What is it? It's just a maid. " Ye Yujiao scoffed, glanced sideways, and said, "Who knows, maybe she was the one who stole my jade hairpin, gave it a light slap, and then ordered her to be dragged to the outer court, receiving dozens of wooden sticks?" Ye Yujiao was extremely arrogant, and almost laughed out loud.
Ye Yuning put down the book, her face expressionless. "Ye Yujiao, don't forget the rules of the palace! You are Shu, I am the son; you are the child, I am the long. To beat someone up for no reason in front of me, are you looking down on this big sister of yours? "
"Haha!" What direct line of descent? "Pfft!" Ye Yujiao laughed loudly, "You are also the daughter of the Ye's Mansion, why must I respect you and let you go? Why did you frame me, and I still want to marry Li Changle? "Why not you?" At the end, Ye Yujiao's eyes were filled with hatred.
Ye Yuning thought about the last time she pushed him into the river and became alert, so she subconsciously took a step back.
This Ye Yujiao is hopeless!
It was clearly her biological mother, Concubine Qiao, who had plotted against her, and she had simply gone with the flow. She reaped the consequences of her actions and instead of blaming Concubine Qiao, she blamed herself?
The daughter that Concubine Qiao had raised was exactly the same as her! Ye Yuning was too lazy to explain further.
Seeing Ye Yuning not saying a word, Ye Yujiao thought that she was afraid. With a cold snort, she pointed at Ye Yuning's face and coldly said: "That hairpin isn't in the courtyard, it is definitely in your room! Men, go inside and search! "
A jade hairpin, with Ye Yuning's wealth, could be easily found with just a search. Ye Yujiao's heart was filled with pride, waiting to see Ye Yuning speechless with her almond-shaped eyes.
Ye Yuning naturally would not let her succeed, her eyes swept past the servant girls who were eagerly trying to step forward, and Ye Yuning said in a deep voice: "Let's see who dares!"
With this shout, the group of servants couldn't help but stop in their tracks, hesitating to leave.
"What are you afraid of her for! Are you not going to listen to me? " Ye Yujiao stood in front of Ye Yuning, and their gazes met, sparks flying everywhere.
The servants looked at this, then looked at that, and felt troubled. Ye Yuning's strength was beyond everyone's expectations.
Scanning around, Ye Yuning assumed the position of a legitimate daughter.
"Offending from the bottom is not something that can be done in a single round! This Ye's Mansion was not the second master! Even if we were to split up in the future, think about which house you want to live in! " Ye Yuning was as cold as frost, but his words caused the servants to suddenly wake up.
That's right, even if Ye Yujiao and her daughter were proud, with the second wife's downfall set, and with Ye Yujiao marrying out, how could he protect them? In addition, her personal maidservant had been convicted of being beaten to death, and the evidence was still present, causing these people to not dare to move again.
Seeing that, Ye Yujiao was so angry that she was in pain, she could not help but curse: "Useless thing! They were all trash! What do I need you for? "All of you, scram!"
