"First round, you wanted to demote me to a concubine, but the old master didn't agree. And your pre-marital pregnancy isn't exactly a good thing, so you had no choice but to marry my father; but you weren't willing to give up, so you thought of beating me today, even without any reason, just telling the old master and master that you wanted to beat me. Beating me once doesn't count for much, I suppose the old master and master would compromise considering the child in your belly; even if they prioritize their own interests and are determined to keep you, but you think that now that you're married, the origin of the child in your belly has been settled, so even if you were to divorce immediately, your reputation would be much better than being unmarried and pregnant. With this confidence, you must win in the second round. Madam, I'm not wrong about these calculations, am I?"

  "Who are you?" Gong's gaze at Ye Zhuo was no longer shocked, but terrified. As for the previous sentence, as long as one is clever, they can still guess it. But this time, it's not something a 15-year-old girl can say. Without strong insight and intelligence, without going through the twists and turns of the deep house, how could she say it so accurately? This Ye Zhuo, does she have some connection with her own confidant?

  Ye Zhuo saw Xia Yu quietly retreat, and at this time, her figure had already disappeared at the gate of the courtyard. Only then did she coldly snort: "Who else do I need? Don't think that others are all fools, just you're the smartest! Your little thoughts, as long as you use your toes to think about it, you can know. And now, I really suspect your intention in marrying into our Ye family. Speak, what do you want to do by marrying into the Ye family? Is it that once you control the Ye family, you'll move all the wealth to the Gong family? Has something gone wrong with the Gong family?"

  If Ye Zhuo's words weren't in the form of a question, Gong would have been so frightened that her soul would have flown away. It must be known that what Ye Zhuo said was seven or eight parts true. Under her fright, Gong felt a surge of evil energy rising up. She pointed at Ye Zhuo and shouted loudly: "Guards, come and beat her! Beat her hard! Make her talk nonsense, make her spit blood..."

  Ye Jiaming was pondering Ye Zhuo's words when he suddenly saw Madame Gong looking extremely disheveled and frantic, worried that she would have a heart attack and harm the child in her belly. He hastily comforted her, saying: "Wanyin, Wanyin, don't get agitated, the doctor said you can't be too agitated, be careful with the child in your belly. Come, I'll help you into the house to rest, Zhuo'er will wait there for a while, and I'll go deal with her later, definitely giving her ten or so slaps, don't worry, I'll definitely give her ten or so slaps."

  Ye Zhuo and her son, Gong Jia, which one is lighter or heavier, he naturally distinguishes clearly. Ye Zhuo said such words, no matter whether she was right or wrong, in order not to let Gong Shi get angry and return to her mother's house, beating a dozen boards to vent her anger, it was necessary. However, this crime can be called "opposing the legitimate mother" rather than "plotting against the legitimate mother and unborn brother". In this way, Ye Fu's interests will not be harmed.

  Gong heard Ye Jiaming's words, her heart skipped a beat, she covered her belly and took several deep breaths. This child in her womb was so precious that nothing could happen to it.

  The woman in the courtyard immediately entered the hall and rushed towards Ye Zhuo, wanting to capture her and drag her outside to be beaten.

  "Who dares to move?" Ye Zhuo's eyes flashed, and she pulled out the hairpin from her head, pointing it at her own neck.

  Things have developed to this point, it's naturally her deliberate intention.

  To know, Gong was determined to take control of the Ye family. Even if Ye Ming blocked her way for personal gain, she would make a scene and return to her mother's home, using the child in her womb and the power of the Gong family to force the Ye family to surrender. When the time came, even if the Ye family was unwilling, they would have to temporarily compromise by sacrificing her to calm down the situation. At most, it would be a matter of replacing harming the legitimate mother with defying the legitimate mother, or changing being beaten to kneeling in punishment.

  So she deliberately provoked the conversation, step by step, forcing Gong to make a big deal out of it and say something about hitting her with a board. As long as this order was given by Gong and not Ye Yuzhang, she could turn the disadvantage around by threatening to kill herself. Because of Zheng's stubborn example, Ye Yuzhang naturally worried that she would really commit suicide; while Gong had already married into the family, it was just a matter of swallowing his pride. Choosing the lesser of two evils, and considering Gong's malicious intentions, he would naturally support her and suppress Gong. This way, not only would she not be punished, but also in the future, anyone who wanted to bully her again would have to think twice.

  The two wives of Gong saw Ye Zhuo's hairpin and couldn't help but take a cold breath.

  The Zheng family's affairs, they also knew. Now the young lady from their own family just wanted to teach Ye Zhuo a lesson, but she was able to retort with every sentence and even threatened her with a hairpin, it can be seen that her temperament is exactly like her mother who was driven out of the Ye family. If this really happened on the eve of the wedding day and Ye's eldest daughter was driven to death, not to mention Gong Shi, but even the reputation of the Gong family would be completely ruined. This crime, Gong Shi cannot bear.

  They hastily withdrew their hands and didn't dare to move forward.

  Just then, Lier rushed in from outside the door and said, "Miss, the doctor has arrived."

  A man in his fifties followed her into the house. When he looked up and saw Ye Zhuo, he couldn't help but stare for a moment.

  The people in the hall changed color one after another.

  This is the Gong family's courtyard, and it's only her second day here. The eldest daughter of the Ye family is now holding a hairpin, standing in the center of the hall, facing her own neck. If outsiders were to see this, it would not only be a shameful matter for the Ye family, but also a great loss of face for the Gong family.

  "Ah...cough..." Ye Jiaming coughed awkwardly and said to Lier, "Take the doctor to the side hall to sit down, Madam will be there in a moment."

  "Yes." Lier took a clear look at the situation in the hall and deeply regretted her own rashness. She bowed her head to Ye Jiaming and Gong Shi, then hastily left with the doctor.

  Gong thought it would be easy to bully a young girl with no one to rely on, but she didn't expect things to end up like this. She wouldn't dare drive Ye Zhuo to death, but she couldn't let her win either. Now that outsiders had seen the situation, she felt both angry and humiliated, and suddenly burst into tears, pushing Ye Jia Ming hard: "Look at how your family has bullied me! You're even using death threats against me, and letting others see it, disgracing my Gong family. Waaah, I won't live anymore, I want to go back to my mother's house..."

  "What's going on?" came Ye Yuzhang's stern voice from outside the door. He then followed Jiang Shi into the room, one after the other.

  Yeh Chia-ming's anxious face relaxed as he saw his father and mother arrive, letting out a big sigh of relief.

  Ye Yuzhang walked in, took a glance around the room, and saw Ye Zhuo holding a hairpin. He furrowed his brow but didn't say anything, instead walking straight to the main seat in the hall and sitting down. "What's going on?" he asked.

  Although Xia Yu had just gone to report, the words of Ye Zhuo repeated by Xia Yu's mouth made him shocked and shocked. He did not expect that marrying a woman would have such a big ambition, wanting to control this Ye Fu. Feeling that it was a major event, he was uneasy and feared that illiterate and uneducated Xia Yu would misunderstand, so he didn't care about affecting his son's marital relationship and directly asked Ye Jia Ming, wanting to hear what his son had said.

  Ye Jiaming handed over Gong's family to Wu's nanny, and he himself went forward and paid his respects. He told the whole story from start to finish. Ye Zhuo's words were too important, related to the interests of the Ye family, even if he knew that Gong's family was not happy with what he said, Ye Jiaming still repeated those few sentences verbatim, so that his old father could more accurately weigh the pros and cons.

  Gong's gaze turned to Ye Jiaming, her eyes blazing with anger. She had chosen Ye Jiaming as her husband for three reasons: firstly, despite being thirty years old, he looked as young and handsome as a twenty-year-old; secondly, he was deeply affectionate and infatuated with her, making him easy to control; thirdly, the Ye family's social status was relatively low, but they were wealthy, which suited her just fine. But now that she had just married into the family, Ye Jiaming put the interests of the Ye family above all else, without caring whether she was happy or not!

  How dare you deceive me! I will make sure to deal with you properly! She gritted her teeth in secret.
