Before she went out, she heard Qing Shuang and Ye Rong arguing. "How dare you! You're just a lowly servant girl. How dare you stop me! Be careful that I don't sell you to the brothel! "Ye Rong glared at the girl in front of him.
Others might be afraid of the only young master in the house, but Qing Shuang was not so polite. She glared at Ye Rong with her beautiful eyes and sneered, "No matter how lowly I am, I am still the young miss' servant. Young Master Rong, you don't have the right to decide whether to hit or sell me. Is this the etiquette that Young Master Rong learned in school to trespass into his sister's courtyard? You've learned well and been taught well! "
"Lowly girl! Beat her! "Ye Rong ordered the servants behind him to teach Qing Shuang a lesson in exasperation.
"Rong 'er, what are you doing?" Ye Li walked out of the courtyard and looked indifferently at the hostile youth in front of her. Her gaze fell on the hands of the servants who were holding Qing Shuang. "Let go of her!" The two servants who were holding Qing Shuang felt as if they had been burned. They quickly withdrew their hands and hid behind Ye Rong. "Let go of her!" Ye Rong felt humiliated when he saw that the people around him were so useless. He snorted with dissatisfaction and said to Ye Li, "Third sister, you're so rude. I'll help you teach her a lesson."
Ye Li looked at him coldly. "I will discipline the people around me. If you have time, you should learn the rules a few times." Seeing Ye Rong like this, Ye Li knew why her father loved and hated this son of his. He was her only son, but he was also brainless. Wang Shi even thought that her son could be compared to the second son of the Liu family. The second son of the Liu family was 16 years old and was already a famous young talent in the capital. This year, he went to Lishan Academy alone to study. Whether it was the Liu family or his teachers and classmates, they all had high hopes for him. He was obviously going to be the top scholar in the future. As for this half-brother of his, it was obvious that in the capital, he was just a good-for-nothing. Ye Rong had been pampered by Old Madame Ye and Wang Shi since he was a child. In this family, even his second sister and fourth sister didn't dare to talk to him like this. Ye Rong immediately jumped up like a cat whose fur had been set on fire. He angrily pointed at Ye Li and said, "How dare you talk to me like that? I'm going to tell my grandmother that I'll definitely teach you a lesson! "
Ye Li could not understand. Although the Ye family was not a century-old clan, they were still a rather influential family in the capital. How did they raise such an idiot like Ye Rong? Ye Li couldn't be bothered with the angry boy. She turned around and was about to return to her room. "Young Master Rong, please leave."
"Ye Li, stop right there!" Ye Rong was furious. "You are so shameless. It was clearly Brother-in-law Prince Li who didn't want you. You actually let your uncle speak ill of father in front of the emperor. You caused mother and third sister to be scolded by father. Serves you right for being abandoned by Prince Li. Serves you right … "
"Evil creature! Shut up! "Ye Rong, who was in the midst of scolding, didn't see the coldness in Ye Li's eyes and the trace of a smile on her lips. Until an angry roar came from behind her, she stiffly turned around and saw the people around her trembling on the ground. Her father, who had always been amiable, was glaring at her with an ashen face. "Father …"
"This Minister's Manor has a good upbringing. An insignificant second wife's son who was promoted by a concubine actually dares to insult the first wife's daughter in broad daylight. I've really learned something. "A handsome young man among the people beside Minister Ye sneered.
Hearing this, Minister Ye's face became even uglier. "What are you standing there for? Why aren't you arresting this bastard for me! Give me a heavy punishment of twenty beatings! "
Hearing Minister Ye's words, Ye Rong immediately screamed in fright. He punched and kicked the two servants who came up from the side. "Father … … Father … … This child knows his wrongs … …" Unfortunately, he was young and weak. How could he fight against these servants who were in their prime? He was quickly dragged to a place not far away to be punished.
Ye Li's expression was indifferent, but with a rare joy, she quickly stepped forward. "Greetings, father. Aunt, cousin, why did you come? "
Minister Ye looked at his daughter who respectfully paid her respects to him, but showed a rare intimacy to outsiders. He felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart. But when he thought of the simple furnishings in Ye Li's courtyard, he couldn't get angry. He could only smile and say: "Qingfeng and your aunt came to see you, so father came with them."
Xu Qingfeng smiled coldly and said: "Isn't that so? If we didn't come today, we wouldn't know that little sister is living such a life in the Ye mansion." The smile on Minister Ye's face froze. He looked at the cold face of Madame Xu and the unkind face of Xu Qingfeng and felt embarrassed. Ye Li smiled faintly. She stepped forward and took Madame Xu's hand. She smiled and said: "Aunt, don't stand at the door. Let's go in and have a cup of tea. "
Hearing the words of her niece, who she loved like her own daughter, Madame Xu's cold face immediately had a little more smile. She held Ye Li's hand and sighed with pity: "Good child, you have been wronged." Ye Li smiled faintly and didn't say anything. She took Madame Xu's arm and walked into the courtyard. She didn't forget to turn around and say to her father who was standing on the side with an embarrassed face: "Father, if you are not busy, let's taste your daughter's tea." Ye Wenhua forced a smile and nodded: "Then let's taste Ye Li 'er's tea."
The originally tense atmosphere finally eased a little. The group of people was about to enter Qing Yi Xuan when Madame Wang, who was not far away, stumbled over with the help of someone. Seeing Ye Rong who was being beaten and screaming loudly, Madame Wang screamed and rushed over to protect Ye Rong in her arms. Madame Wang was the mistress of the house. When she stepped forward, others naturally didn't dare to do anything and could only stand to the side. When Ye Rong saw Madame Wang, he immediately grabbed Madame Wang and cried out in pain. He didn't forget to point at Ye Li and said: "Mother, she caused your son to be beaten. You must avenge your son. It hurts … Wu wu … "
Madame Wang hugged Ye Rong and knelt on the ground. She looked at Ye Wenhua with grief and resentment and asked: "Master, what did Rong 'er do wrong? Why do you have to beat him like this? He … He is still so young. He is your only son … Wu wu … Third Young Mistress, even if Rong 'er offended you … But you are brother and sister … "
"Li 'er, follow Aunt into the house. What kind of people are in this house? What will happen if this spreads out? If it really doesn't work, let your uncle report to the Emperor and take you away from the Imperial Censor Manor to get married. I think your grandfather can still make the decision on your marriage. Our Imperial Censor Manor won't disgrace the Ding Palace. " Looking at Madame Wang who was crying on the ground not far away, Madame Xu's face suddenly sank again. She pulled Ye Li and walked inside. Ye family's Madame Wang and her daughter, as well as Ye Zhaoyi in the palace, were all the same. Ye Ying and Ye Yue could cry, but this Madame Wang didn't know shame at her age.
Ye Li nodded and turned back to Madame Wang and said indifferently: "Madame Xu is too serious. Rong 'er was punished by father. But speaking of which, Rong 'er should be properly disciplined. Otherwise, outsiders will say that our Minister's Manor has no upbringing. "After saying that, she ignored Ye Wenhua's expression and held Madame Xu's hand to enter the courtyard. Xu Qingfeng followed behind and looked at Madame Wang with interest. He smiled and said: "Uncle's second wife … is really interesting." He had never seen a madame like this. No matter how the first wife of a prestigious family was in private, she would always be graceful and dignified in front of outsiders. This woman who was crying while still not forgetting to seduce people was obviously the appearance of a concubine. Also, wasn't she born as a concubine? After saying that, he turned around and followed his mother and cousin, leaving the Minister whose face was as black as ink to deal with the situation outside.
