Legitimate Daughter of the Noble Family - C162
“I, I want to go as well?” Ye Jinxian was startled, then a look of panic appeared on her face. The old lady never liked her, and when he called her over, it was most likely because Yu Ge’er said something.
She sent a comforting look to Ye Jinxian, then raised her voice to Wen Zhu who was speaking to the outside: “You go tell the person who sent the message that Third Sister and I will go greet Grandmother right now.”
Wen Zhu replied and left.
“Sister Second Sister …” Ye Jinxian grimaced, her hands continuously twisting the handkerchief. She really didn’t want to face the old lady!
Jin Lan patted her small hand, and said softly: “Don’t worry, grandmother is not that unreasonable person. The hem of your skirt is dirty, if you return to Yunxiu House now, I’m afraid you’ll have to keep grandmother waiting.” After saying that, she called out to Mu Lan, “Go open the box and take out the eight pieces of Peach Blossom Skirt and give it to Third Sister to wear.”
Ye Jinxian looked at the black footprints on her skirt, then thought about the old lady’s solemn face, and agreed to Jin Lan’s suggestion, “Thank you, Second Sister Sis.”
“These eight dresses were made last year. I can’t wear them, so they’re just right for Third Sister. However, that’s the style that was popular last year, so I’ll have to inconvenience Third Sister for the time being.” Jin Lan put down the teacup in his hand and said with a smile.
“How could that be?” Ye Jinxian hurriedly raised her head, “The things in elder sister’s room are naturally good, little sister is not feeling wronged at all!”
Indeed, as the direct daughter of Jin Lan, regardless of whether it was food or clothes, every object was meticulously prepared.
When Mu Lan took the skirt back and led Ye Jinxian to her ear room to change, she called out to Chun Xia who was about to go in and serve him, “There’s Mu Lan serving inside, you don’t have to worry.”
Chun Xia paused before replying in a low voice, “Yes.”
Jin Lan narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the rosy clouds. After a while, he said, “If old lady asks about what happened just now, just tell me the truth.”
The meaning in his words was to not hide the fact that Ye Jinxian was injured.
Chun Xianming nodded. “This servant will save it.”
Not long later, Ye Jinxian had changed into a new skirt, the peach-colored skirt with eight lines hanging down from the bottom of her head was covered with flowers, making her look extremely beautiful. It made her look like she was spitting flowers in the spring wind, which made people’s eyes light up.
Jin Lan nodded in satisfaction. “As expected, it’s just right.” She got up and walked over, then pulled Ye Jinxian along to size him up, then laughed: “Little sister is still suitable for this kind of color, I think Grandmother would like it even if she sees it.”
Mentioning the Old Madame Ye, the bashfulness on Ye Jinxian’s small face immediately receded quite a bit, and was replaced with timidness and unease.
“Alright, let’s go pay respects to Grandmother!” She purposely landed behind, and while the curtain was being pulled down, she quickly whispered a few words into Mu Lan’s ear.
Mu Lan was startled, then firmly nodded her head.
Originally, when Ye Jinxian’s leg was injured, Jin Lan had planned to let her sit on the palanquin so that she could pass, but Ye Jinxian had no choice but to let go, so Jin Lan followed her along slowly, spending more than half of her time compared to usual.
However, this was exactly what Jin Lan wanted.
When he stepped through the door of Jiayu Hall, he saw that Mama Wu was already there. He came over and greeted them with a smile, and said: “The three young ladies of Second Miss, the old lady is inviting you to Side Chamber.” As he spoke, he extended his hand and led the way.
Why is he going to the Side Chamber? The old lady had always liked handling matters in the main house, so unless there was a guest from afar, she would only move to Side Chamber to receive the guest.
Seemingly seeing through Jin Lan’s doubt, the corners of Mama Wu’s mouth raised in a profound smile, “The old lady has been very heavy these few days and has lost all her energy.
Jin Lan’s heart trembled. In that case, the ones in the Side Chamber are his mother and Yu Ge’er?
She subconsciously raised her head to look at Mama Wu, just in time to see a fleeting sneer. Her mind instantly cleared up, and more or less saw through the old lady’s intentions.
So, he wanted to use this opportunity to intimidate his mother!
Jin Lan lowered his gaze, concealing the glimmer in his eyes.
With the incident in Concubine Shao, the old lady who was’ ignorant ‘had no choice but to hand over the authority of the butler. However, why would the old lady be willing to watch her mother gather power and people’s hearts?
Thus, the old lady would definitely find a way to let her mother know the difficulties and retreat. It would be best for her to take the initiative to return the housekeeper’s authority.
With the old lady’s love for Yu Ge’er, if she allowed Yu Ge’er to enter the Jiayu Hall freely, how could she not make decisions for him? Instead, she had urgently invited her mother?
At the end of the day, they just wanted to take advantage of Yu Ge’er’s incident to hit their mother!
Yu Ge’er was the only male heir to Ye Mansion and was doted upon by the Old Granny and Ye Lin. If Mother said that it was too heavy, the Yu Ge’er would definitely ignore her, and when things got even worse, the Old Granny would take the chance to make a move. At that time, Mother would also only be able to suffer.
Jin Lan coldly snorted in his heart, and recalled the instructions he gave to Mu Lan just now.
Seeing her lowered her head in depression, she couldn’t help but sneer in her heart. Second Miss was also a fool, not only did she not serve the old lady, she even ran over to get closer to that tuberculosis patient. Sooner or later, she would regret it.
After passing through the tree-lined path, Side Chamber was right in front of their eyes, but as soon as they stepped onto the stairs, they heard a loud noise coming from inside.
“Who taught you such outrageous words just now?” Madame SHen’s face darkened, two balls of anger seemed to jump out of her dark eyes. No matter what, she was the owner of the Ye Family, how could she allow a bastard to humiliate her!
“What has this got to do with you!” Ye Yu shouted loudly. His short finger that was as thick as a white radish recklessly pointed at Madame SHen, “Don’t think that just because Grandmother told you to come, you would be able to show off your might. In the future, when I grow up, I will definitely kick you out as a murderer!”
Madame SHen was furious, but her tone became calmer, “Oh? In the future, you still want to chase me out? ”
“That’s right!” Ye Yu raised his head, his expression proud, he looked at Madame SHen with full of contempt: “Not only are you diseased, Ye Jinlan and Ye Jinxian, those two shameless bitch, also want to kick him out!”
“How dare you!” Madame SHen raised his hand and smacked it hard, “As a son, you do not respect your elders, do not treat your brothers with kindness, and have a very arrogant and unreasonable personality. You are truly detestable!” With that, she turned her head to the side and ordered Mama Zhu: “Mama Zhu, go and request for the ancestral family’s punishment!”
She was initially hesitant, since Yu Ge’er was the old lady and the master’s treasure in her heart, but when she heard that the Yu Ge’er was pouring dirty water on Jin Lan, she couldn’t suppress the anger in her heart anymore!
“How dare you!” Ye Yu flew into a rage and screamed, “In the future, I will be the lord of this mansion, and you dare hit me?”
Right from the moment Ye Yu was being attacked, everyone held him in their hands. The maids around him were all fighting to please the young master, and under his influence, he had long seen himself as the future master of Ye Mansion.
Madame SHen was so angry that she started laughing, “Good, what a great uncle! Mama Zhu, quickly go! ”
Although she really wanted to take care of Ye Yu, the little bastard who had his own heart, but in the end, it was Jiayu Hall and the old lady was waiting in her room. If she beat Ye Yu up, it would be hard for her wife to leave.
She hesitated for a moment, then whispered into Madame SHen’s ear, “Madam, the old lady, she …”
Before he could even finish his words, he was cut off by Madame SHen with a wave of her hand, “Since the Old Granny has asked me to come over and handed this matter over to me, then she must hope that I can properly discipline Yu Ge’er. You don’t have to say anymore, go quickly!”
Mama Zhu looked at Madame SHen’s ashen face and knew that she had made up her mind. She gritted her teeth, turned, and walked out.
Seeing that the Madame SHen was serious, Ye Yu extended his hand and grabbed the cup of tea on the table, about to smash it onto the Madame SHen!
“Ah!” A miserable scream came out, but it did not come from the Madame SHen. It came from Ye Yu.
Jin Lan was originally standing outside, and when the Mama Zhu lifted the curtains, she could see Ye Yu’s actions, and without thinking, she rushed in and grabbed onto Ye Yu’s hand that was held up high.
Even if Jin Lan did not have the same kind of armor that Ye Jinwei liked, but after cutting it, it was still somewhat sharp. Adding Ye Yu’s tender skin, with such a forceful grab, the crystal clear armor immediately closed in on her, causing Ye Yu to unconsciously loosen her grip.
The tea cup that was held high in the air suddenly fell onto his body, splashing all over his body with the tea leaves.
“Lan Er!” Madame SHen did not expect Jin Lan to rush in. He was stunned for a moment before recovering, “Why are you here?”
“Mother …” Jin Lan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Ye Yu, “Bitch, let go of me!”
Even though the tea had become warm, but the water was dripping wet all over his body making him feel uncomfortable. Plus, he had been through this since young, so he was so angry that his eyes were red. He didn’t care about anything as he started cursing, “Just you wait, I’m going to find the old lady, look for father, and beat you two to death!”
Jin Lan held onto Ye Yu’s hand tightly, his cold gaze containing traces of pity. Did Yu Ge’er understand what he was going to say? How could he be so confident that the old lady and Ye Lin would definitely do as he said?
Forget about the others, even if her mother did not give birth to her first son, she was still an official wife of an imperial concubine. No matter how much she spoiled him privately, when it was put on the table, he would still not enter the eyes of others.
Especially the old lady, she wanted to develop his Ye Family to become a famous family like the one in the capital, how could she allow Ye Yu to do whatever he wants?
Wasn’t the Concubine Shao the best lesson?
“Let me go, let me go!” Ye Yu could not break free from the suppression and immediately shouted out loud, “Grandmother, Grandmother! Come on! Someone wants to kill me! ”
Jin Lan frowned when he heard that. Just as he was about to speak, he heard an authoritative voice shout from behind him, “What are you doing?”
