  In the main hall, Ye Lin's bruises had already disappeared. Ye Yuzhang sat in the hall with a gloomy face that seemed to be dripping with water. When Ye Zhuo walked in, he glared at him like an enemy, his eyes filled with malice. Ye Zhuo could no longer bring benefits to the Ye family in terms of marriage, so the benevolent mask he had been wearing was completely torn off.

  Jiang's gaze was even more gloomy than Ye Yuzhang. If it weren't for Ye Zhuo, how would the Ye family have fallen to this point? How would Ye Mei, Wang Yiniang, and Ye Lin have suffered all sorts of punishments? And yet, as the main culprit, Ye Zhuo still stood there calmly - how could she not be resentful?

  Although Ye Zhuo was not nervous at all, she still pretended to be timid on the surface, lightly curtsied and called out in a soft voice: "Grandfather, Grandmother." She stood there with her head down, twisting her clothes. The more weak and fearful she appeared, the better.

  "Kneel down." Ye Yuzhang slammed his hand on the table and bellowed.

  Ye Zhuo seemed to have been startled, her face pale as she stared at Ye Yu Zhang, seemingly unsure of what to do. Considering the time, Ye Yu Qi should be arriving soon. As the eldest master of the Ye Manor, no one dared to stop him from entering through that side door. If she could just hold on a bit longer, she wouldn't have to kneel down after all. She had no intention of kneeling down to Ye Yu Zhang and Jiang Shi.

  Ye Yu Zhang Ye Zhuo like that, the fire in his heart grew even stronger, and he didn't mind the pain in his hand. He slapped the table again, this time louder than before: "I told you to kneel down, did you hear me?"

  "But... but grandfather, what did Zhuo'er do wrong?" Ye Zhuo asked in a trembling voice.

  Yè Zhuó still didn't kneel down, Yè Yǔzhāng was so angry that his whiskers were standing on end. Just as he was about to loudly call in the servant girl to attend to Yè Zhuó, a maidservant suddenly came in from outside and reported: "Old Master, Old Mistress, Great Grandmaster has arrived."

  Ye Zhuo listened and was overjoyed, turning his head to look towards the door. As expected, just as the maid's voice fell, Ye Yuqi walked in with big strides, his eyes scanning Ye Zhuo standing there without any signs of being beaten, he let out a sigh of relief and walked straight up to sit down at the main seat.

  Although Ye Yuzhang and Ye Yuqi didn't get along well, he had no respect for this elder brother in his heart. However, as they were related by blood, he still had to maintain some superficial courtesy. When he saw Ye Yuqi enter, he and Jiangshi had to put aside the matter of Ye Zuo for now, stood up and called out: "Big Brother."

  Yan Yuxi sat down, and the maid brought tea. Yan Yuxi asked again: "Big brother, why do you have time to come and sit today?"

  "I've heard that a lot has happened at your place these past few days. Although you think I'm poor and don't acknowledge me as your older brother, no matter what, you're still my younger brother. If something's going on at your place, I naturally can't pretend to be unaware. That's why I came today - is there anything I can help with?"

  Yue Yuqi's words made Yue Zhuo laugh to herself. She hadn't expected that the straightforward Yue Yuqi also had a cunning and clever side. He was clearly here to ask Yue Yuzhang to adopt his granddaughter into the main house, but he made it sound like he was doing Yue Yuzhang a huge favor instead.

  Ye Yuzhang laughed loudly: "What's going on? Who told you, brother? Which one came to your face and wagged his tongue?" As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes turned to Ye Zhuo. Since Ye Zhuo had been close to Ye Yuqi before, this matter must have been between Ye Zhuo and Ye Yuzhang.

  Ye Zhuo felt his gaze, and her body involuntarily shrank back a bit, but in her heart she was calm. As for the matter of Autumn Moon going to ask Ye Yuqi to come, as long as one asked the old woman guarding the corner door, it would naturally not be hidden from Ye Yu Zhang. But when Ye Yuqi came, she wasn't afraid of Ye Yu Zhang knowing either. After a while, once the adoption was settled, she would ask Ye Yuqi to buy Autumn Moon and Autumn Jade together.

  Yue Yuqi waved his hand: "Don't bother about it. The affairs of your household are so noisy, I think it's hard not to know." After finishing this sentence, he also turned to Ye Zhuo, "Listen, has the engagement between you and the Xie family been called off?"

  "Hmm." Ye Yuzhang responded with a grunt from his nose. As soon as he brought up this matter, he felt extremely displeased in his heart.

  "What's the point of all this? The Xie family may have a big business, but they can't just demand to be related and then break off the engagement whenever they want." Ye Yuqi's face turned extremely angry, and he stood up. "No way, my Ye family won't be bullied like this. I'm going to go to the Xie house and reason with him." He raised his foot to head outside.

  "Big brother, big brother." Ye Yuzhang hastily grabbed onto Ye Yuzi.

  "A Zhang, you're afraid of him, but I'm not. I, Ye Yuqi, can go bankrupt and turn white-haired without needing to do business with him, what's there to be afraid of? Don't stop me, I'll go find his old man." Ye Yuqi shook off Ye Yuzhang's hand and was about to walk out again.

  "Big brother, actually this matter, it's not the fault of the Xie family." Ye Yuzhang pulled him back, saying hesitantly.

  Ye Yuxiu stopped in his tracks, turned around and stared at Ye Yuchang in surprise: "Not blaming the Xie family?" He then sank his face, "What have you done again to make people look down on us?"

  "What did I do?" Ye Yuzhang was anxious, turned his head and viciously pointed at Ye Zhuo, "It's this dead girl who did a good deed."

  Ye Yiqi's face sank: "What could Zhu'er do wrong? Lately, she often comes to my place, I know her well, she is knowledgeable and reasonable, with a gentle temperament, she is a good girl. You must have done something yourself to offend the Xie family."

  "Big brother, you don't know, she..." Ye Yuzhang pointed at Ye Zhuo, "She herself ran to Guang'en Temple and was killed by Master Nengren. You, this kind of person, would anyone dare to want him? At this time, he's not afraid of this matter anymore. With the Shuai family spreading the word, plus the commotion caused by the Gong family, I estimate that everyone who should know about this matter already knows. Moreover, although he doesn't get along with Ye Yuzhang, he still has confidence in his character. This older brother will absolutely not be a person who stirs up trouble and slanders others."

  "Bad fate?" Ye Yuke was taken aback for a moment.

  "It's not just that, your nephew's wife is now making a fuss, aborting the child in her belly and wants to run back to her parents' home. Big brother, you also know that I've been looking forward to having a grandson for over a decade, no matter what, I won't let him have any misfortune. So, I plan to send Zhu'er to the nunnery."

  Ye Yuzhang was after all the eldest son of the Ye family, and his temper was straightforward, so when it came to driving Ye Zhuo out of the house, he always had to be involved. Moreover, this time it wasn't his fault, driving Ye Zhuo out of the Ye family, he would have a clear conscience.

  "Adopt a daughter-in-law?" Ye Yuqi hesitated for a moment. Then he raised his head: "How about this? I'm not planning to adopt anyone else either, so as not to be disliked by others. If Zhu'er is willing, let me adopt her as my granddaughter instead. Let her marry into our family and I'll have someone to rely on in my old age."

  "Ah..." Ye Yuzhang was taken aback, then a delighted expression appeared on his face, and he cupped his hands together in respect, saying, "If Big Brother can adopt Zhu'er, we would be more than willing."

  Ye Yuqi had expected to get those few hundred taels of silver in compensation, and he had been eyeing them for a long time. Now Ye Zhuo was a plague god, sending Huantang away, and still having to send her flowers every month, and it was easy to be disliked by others; if she did something that hurt the wind and lost the customs again, she would also have to implicate the reputation of the Ye family. But Dafang was willing to let her inherit, which completely solved this problem. As for who won or lost between her and Zhao Shi, it had nothing to do with the second house. If she could do something, if she could kill all the people in the main house and leave only herself, then wouldn't the property of the main house belong to the second house?

  Ye Zhen was able to let things develop to this point, she not only grasped the character of Wang Niang, Ye Lin and Gong Shi, but also understood Ye Yu Zhang's temperament extremely thoroughly. She knew that as long as the rumor about her bad luck spread, if Ye Yu Qi proposed adoption, Ye Yu Zhang would definitely be very willing to agree. However, this was just speculation, a prediction. At this time, seeing him agree in one breath, her heart finally felt at ease. But the play still had to go on, even Ye Yu Qi, such a straightforward old man, came to perform such a good show for her, how could she not put in effort?

  So upon hearing Ye Yu Zhang's words, she stepped forward and grabbed Ye Yu Zhang's sleeve, crying and shaking her head: "Grandfather, I am your own granddaughter, how can you bear to drive me out? Grandfather, let your granddaughter stay by your side and serve you for the rest of your life."

  Ye Yuzhang was like being stung by a bee, hastily pulling his sleeve back and shouting: "Being able to go to the main house to pay respects to your ancestor is your good fortune. If you're not willing, then go to the nunnery and become a nun!"

  Ye Zhuo seemed to be frightened and shrank back.

  "Haven't you knelt down to pay respects to your ancestor yet?" Ye Yuzhang was eager to settle the names of Ye Yuqi and Ye Zhuo, lest there be endless troubles. But at this moment, Ye Zhuo's stupid appearance made him even more disgusted.

  "Granddaughter pays respects to grandfather." Ye Zhuo this time did not hesitate, and obediently knelt on the ground, giving Ye Yuqi a big bow.

  "Alright, alright! Good granddaughter, hurry up and get up. Come on, let's go back with Grandpa." Ye Yuqi burst out laughing and helped Ye Zhuo up with one hand.

  Ye Yuzhang searched Ye Zhuo's body and didn't find anything valuable, so he didn't stop him.

  "Grandfather." Ye Zhuo saw Ye Yu was about to go out and quickly pulled him.

  "What's wrong?" Ye Yukei turned his head around.

  "Grandfather, Qiu Yue and Qiu Ju have followed me for so many years, and their contracts still have a year and a half left. Can you... can you buy them out? I'll make sure to do more embroidery in the future and earn back the silver for their contracts." Ye Zhu looked at him expectantly.

  Ye Yuqi hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Alright." He turned around and asked Ye Yuzhang, "How are you, Ah Zhang?"

  As long as Ye Zhen can be smoothly driven out of the house, Ye Yu Zhang will agree to any other requirements. Moreover, selling these two maidservants would not result in any financial loss for him, so he is more than happy to do so. As for Jiang Shi, it's even better if she doesn't come along. Due to her poor relationship with Zheng Shi, her impression of the two loyal and diligent maidservants, Qiu Yue and Qiu Ju, is also extremely bad. If Ye Zhen were to go to the main house, these two maidservants would only receive second-rate and third-rate treatment. Arranging for them would be a headache as well. Now that they can all leave the house together, it's the best outcome possible.

  Jiang's family immediately had someone bring out the contract for selling herself, and Ye Yuxi paid the original price. Jiang's family then sent someone to have the two maidservants pack up their belongings, and Ye Zhuo took them with her as they followed Ye Yuxi out of the main gate of the Second House.
