The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate Chapter 575 Annoying Humbleness

575 Annoying Humbleness

Old Madam Ye did not continue to ask further. “It seems that this girl from the Liu family is indeed a capable person. It’s good that you can think it through.”

It was good that they could figure out a way. This was what they had come here for.

When they returned to the Ye family, Old Madam Ye saw Madam Geng and Madam Qiu standing in the courtyard awkwardly. Seeing Old Madam Ye return, the two of them came forward. “Mother, Sister-in-law, you’re back.”

Two figures came out of the house. They were thin and weak, carrying buckets and clothes, bustling about. Old Madam Ye instantly understood why her first daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law looked so awkward.

Old Madam Ye only nodded.

Fen Lan and Yingying had already seen them. They put down the things in their hands and walked over. Their expressions were humble. “Old Madam, Third Madam, you’re back. Yingying and I are cleaning up the house. We can finish the work.”

Fen Lan took over all the work at home. Madam Geng and Madam Qiu couldn’t stop her.

Old Madam Ye’s expression turned slightly cold. “Stop the work. Go and get everyone to gather. Let’s settle the matter today.”

Old Madam Ye looked at Fen Lan and her daughter and turned furious. She felt an indescribable disgust towards this mother and daughter. It was as if no matter how well they did, they could not make people happy.

Fen Lan and Yingying immediately looked at Old Madam Ye timidly. Although she was not crying yet, it was almost the same as crying. “Old Madam, don’t chase us away. Just treat us as animals. We can do anything.”

Old Madam Ye was annoyed.

Madam Zhao looked at Fen Lan and her daughter coldly. “Is this your place to speak? You don’t even know the rules. Who wants an animal like you?”

Madam Zhao had always been unwilling to say such things because it was too hurtful, but she really could not stand it anymore. She felt that Fen Lan and her daughter were really two-faced.

They always said things that made people feel terrible.

Fen Lan and her daughter did not say anything else. They just knelt down humbly.

Madam Zhao returned to her room and looked at Third Master Ye. She said coldly, “Mother is asking you to go over.”

Third Master Ye looked guilty. “Lin Hua, are you willing to forgive me?”

Madam Zhao’s heart ached. “Let’s talk in Mother’s room.”

Third Master Ye smiled happily. “Ok, ok.”

In Third Master Ye’s opinion, Fen Lan didn’t have long to live, Madam Zhao didn’t have to be so harsh on her, and Yingying would get married sooner or later. He still had feelings for Madam Zhao. After all, Madam Zhao would be the one who would grow old with him.

First Master Ye and Second Master Ye also hoped that this matter would be resolved quickly.

With two outsiders around, everyone felt ill at ease.

They arrived at the main room.

Old Madam Ye sat at the head of the table and looked at her son and daughter-in-law seriously. She, then, looked at Fen Lan and Yingying, who were kneeling on the ground, and said calmly, “The two of you can get up too. Even if you want to be slaves and animals, you have to wait until this matter is settled.”

Fen Lan and her daughter trembled and slowly stood up to stand behind Third Master Ye.

Third Master Ye looked at Fen Lan and her daughter and couldn’t bear to see them like this. “Mother.”

Before Third Master Ye could say anything, Old Madam Ye shouted at him. “Shut up.”

Old Madam Ye looked at Madam Zhao. “I’ve said before that I’ll let you decide. Come over and tell them what you think.”

Third Master Ye looked at Madam Zhao and frowned. “Mother, Lin Hua…”

Old Madam Ye knocked the ground with her walking stick and said angrily, “If you still treat me as your mother, shut up.”

Seeing how agitated Old Madam Ye was, Third Master Ye did not continue. He only looked at Madam Zhao pleadingly.

They had been married for many years. Even if Third Master Ye did not say it, Madam Zhao understood what he meant. Madam Zhao felt very bad.

She looked at Fen Lan and her daughter and said calmly, “You said that you don’t have long to live. You’re here to find a family for your daughter, right?”

Fen Lan pulled Yingying to kneel down and said in a weak voice, “Please don’t chase us away. Yingying won’t s.n.a.t.c.h anything from Niuniu. Just treat us as gra.s.s and little worms.”

Yingying said in a sobbing voice, “Third Madam, I will be filial to you. Please don’t chase us away. My mother is not in good health. I really don’t know what to do.”

When Third Master Ye heard this, he couldn’t help but want to speak again.

Madam Zhao took a deep breath and was not affected by Fen Lan and her daughter.

She said coldly, “Don’t tell me this. I’m asking you if you really don’t have long to live. You avoided answering. Is this a lie?”

If this was a lie, then Fen Lan and her daughter were not worthy of anyone’s sympathy.

Madam Geng and Madam Qiu also thought of this. The two of them helped Madam Zhao and said coldly to Fen Lan and her daughter, “If we ask you a question, you answer it. Why are you talking nonsense? Our Ye family is a reasonable family.”

Fen Lan lowered her head. When no one could see her face, her expression was sinister. She nodded. “Yes, because I’m about to die, I want Yingying to have a family to rely on. Third Master…”

Madam Zhao interrupted her. “Since you’re really going to die soon, we’ll believe you for the time being.”

Fen Lan was speechless and bit her lips.

Madam Zhao looked at Yingying. “She’s fifteen, right?”

Yingying glanced at Madam Zhao and quickly lowered her head. “Yes.”

Fen Lan could not help but clench her fists. Suddenly, she had a bad feeling.

Madam Zhao said calmly, “Fifteen is a good age to get married.”

Fen Lan immediately pulled her daughter to kneel down. Just as she was about to kowtow, Madam Zhao said coldly, “By law, I’m the legitimate wife. You can’t even be considered a concubine.”

Old Madam Ye echoed. “Madam Zhao is right. In the Ye family, we only recognize legitimate marriages.”

Madam Geng and Madam Qiu felt that Madam Zhao seemed to have changed, but on second thought, they felt that what Madam Zhao said made sense.

Fen Lan said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “You’re right. I know I can’t compare to you. I just…”

Before she could finish, she was interrupted again.
