Chapter 302: How dare you?

o smells, but before he could, the fragrance was gone again. 。The members of the Ji family are extremely sensitive to the smell of Xiang, because it is the scent commonly used by the Emperor. Because...Danno held a lunchbox in her hands. When Ye Wen asked, she put the lunchbox on the table and opened it layer by layer, taking out two plates of dumplings and two plates of dishes inside

The dumplings have cooled down, they're not as neat and separated as when they were just cooked. 。After they cool down, dumplings will stick together, their skins sticking to each other, and they'll break apart when you try to pick them up. 。Mu's face was not looking good. She put down her chopsticks and didn't want to eat anymore. 。"This is for Second Sister, sent early. As soon as the first pot was ready, I brought it over to Bai Lan Xuan." 。But Second Sister didn't eat. She just had the food boxes sent back earlier, she won't eat charity food. 。If our mistress truly cared, she should have invited her to join us for the meal. Why can you all sit together and enjoy yourselves while leaving her alone, treating her like a servant who's just been sent a bite of food 。"

Danno sighed, “Anyway, none of them were eaten. How it was sent out and how it was sent back."

" Night Qingmei got up and put the dumplings and vegetables back in the food box, then handed it to her maid, Ruizhu. 。"Take it back to our courtyard, and I'll have something to eat tonight." 。"Such good shrimp dumplings, she wouldn't eat them and waste them, just in time since I haven't had enough!"

Ruizhu didn't say anything, immediately picked up the lunch box and left.

Ye Qingmei sat back down and said to Mu Shi, "Before, I had the same thoughts as my mother. I felt sorry for her because she was taken away by Old Master's first wife. So, I always let her have her way." 。She should also understand that giving way is a matter of sentiment, and not giving way is also a matter of principle. No one owes anyone anything. 。She used to be unaware of our situation, but now she clearly sees it. Why have we fallen into such a predicament It's all because of the discord with the old madam. 。So she should also understand, when she was taken away back then, it wasn't your intention as a mother. It was the old lady who was too domineering. 。Ye Qingmei had rarely spoken like this before, but ever since Ye Wenyan returned from the Su Mansion, a series of incidents occurred in the family, which fundamentally changed her attitude towards it. 。“From the time she was young, she always owed us. So she kept demanding compensation from us, asking for things endlessly. Don't these mothers ever forget” Ye Qingmei helped Mu Shi recall, “Before I was five years old, the old madam would come over under the banner of family ties and ask us for things. Mother, you felt it was right to give her whatever she wanted, after all, she was our own child, so she almost got everything she asked for.” 。After the age of five, he would persistently demand everything for himself, from clothing and jewelry to land deeds. He wanted anything he saw. 。The mother was the mistress of the household, in charge of the food and supplies. With so many eyes watching her, she couldn't possibly take advantage of her position for personal gain. So she used some of her dowry to... 。Coming and going, you were married to the Ye family ten miles away in your youthful splendor, bringing so many dowry chests, one by one, fewer and fewer. Now, not even a single chest is full. 。"Mother, isn't this enough What have we ever owed her" Ye Wenyan cast a approving glance at Ye Qingmei. Among the people in their family, she had been most worried about Ye Qingmei's temperament ... 。She's too easy to manipulate and take advantage of, she's the easiest target in the big house, anyone can bully her around. 。She had always been eager to give Ye Qingmei a good lesson, to let her know the dangers of life. If she continued to be as weak as before, not only would it bring her suffering, but it would also drag down her loved ones. 。But now it seems like this lesson is no longer needed. After so many years, Ye Qingmei herself has also grown up and has a clearer understanding of this family. 。So that's why I can say these words to Mu Shi now, but whether Mu Shi will listen is another matter. 。She got up and prepared to leave. After all, she was an outsider. It was fine that they usually understood each other implicitly, but at this moment, discussing such a topic, it would be inappropriate for her to continue participating. 。Whether this night stretches on is good or bad, how should this daughter treat it in the future In that case, Ye Qingmei has to, but she doesn't. 。So she was going to leave, everyone stood up, but Mu Shi grabbed her back and pulled her forcefully back into the chair. 。She let out a soft sigh, “Mother, I still have things to attend to in my room.” 。"Is there anything wrong in your house" 。"Mu was very resolute, "Yan'er, you are also my biological daughter. Your flesh and blood, your bones, were all nurtured in my womb. After birth, I fed you bite by bite. You are no different from your elder sisters." 。Today, if you have this kind of talk, your older sister gets it, and so do you. Today, with this kind of scene, your older sister gets it, and so do you. 。" Grandma Ji took a group of servants out and gently closed the door outside. 。Mu then said, "In my life, I have not owed anything to anyone. The only person I owe is this daughter of mine. I have been owing her since she was born." 。But then I thought about it, it's just like Qingmei's situation. I gave her the compensation she deserved, she got everything she wanted, except for the sentiment of raising her from a child. 。But perhaps this sense of being owed was what she valued most. So from beginning to end, she felt like the one who was abandoned, harboring resentment towards both me and your father. 。"But we also paid the due price for this sentiment. 。"Ye Qingmei lowered her head and said this, then looked at Ye Wenyan, "If we really owe someone a debt, it's to Yan'er, not Lianlian." 。If it's the second day of the first lunar month, we might discover it earlier. If we fight desperately and run out of the mansion sooner, perhaps we could stop the wedding procession. At the very least, we could charge into Duke Su's manor with Yan'er. 。Compared to Yan'er, we don't really owe Lian Mian anything. 。Yè Qīngméi covered her face and burst into tears. Yè Wēn yán saw the tears streaming down between her fingers, and for a moment, he didn't know how to comfort her. 。He could only reach out and wipe a few tears for her, then gently said: "Don't cry, I'm still here." 。"

Ye Qingmei grabbed her hand and nodded vigorously, "It's good that you're here. If even you were gone, I don't know what this family would become." 。"Yan'er, we owe nothing to anyone, right"

Ye Wenyan nodded. "Right, we owe nothing to anyone."

Life is given by parents, but one's life journey must be forged by oneself. 。You have to choose your own path, no one else can decide for you, and certainly no one else can control you. 。"She could go on and on, but she didn't think so. " 。“Ye Qingmei, actually someone was sent to call her when we were making dumplings, but she didn't come. She wouldn't do this kind of manual labor. If we really wanted to, we could have just invited her to eat with us.” 。But we were going to wait for her, so we asked her if she wanted to wait with us. She didn't want to, so we cooked a pot for her and sent it over. 。

Look, this is the outcome we've come to.

。" Ye Wen smiled bitterly, what power could she possibly have Too deep is no good, too shallow is useless. 。Ye Lianmian is Mu Shi's biological child. How can anyone truly hate someone without a mother 。Seeing that she remained silent, Ye Qingmei stopped asking further. Mu Shi also ceased speaking. 。Three people sat silently in the room, the atmosphere momentarily awkward. 。Then it was Mu who broke the silence, but changed the subject. 。Then she took something out of her sleeve and handed it to Ye Wenyan, "Yan'er, this is for you" 。She took it over to look, and it turned out to be the deed to a house filled with incense from Bai Pinfan, which she had just received back from Lin'an Prefecture yesterday. 。"Mother, why did you give me this" she asked, confused. "This is Mother's shop, and it's finally coming back to us." 。" Mu pushed again, "Here you go."> 。I don't have much of anything left in my possession. Over the years, I've given everything I had to Lian Mian. Then Lian Mian gave it all to Old Madam. Even the dowry I had set aside for Qing Mei is gone. 。This is the best restaurant in Lin'an Inner City. I wouldn't feel at ease leaving it anywhere else; I can only entrust it to you so that she won't keep thinking about it. 。Yè Wēn Yán thought about it for a moment, then said: “Alright, I’ll keep it for Mother. When Mother needs it, just ask me.” 。"No, I refuse. It's yours. When you return, go to the government office and change the name and registration. After that, it will be your own business." 。You can run it however you want, if you don't like restaurants, do something else. 。Anyway, no matter how you use it, it's yours. It's yours, and I'm happy. 。"

Mu stretched out her hand and patted her head twice, "Good child, I've heard it all. You gave the Li's clinic in the inner city to your brother and the shop next door to your sister. You are so considerate of your brother and sister. Have you ever thought about what you still have in your hands These things should be done by me as your mother, but I am incompetent and can't do it. You helped your mother do it, and your mother is both comforted and grateful>>> 。This restaurant, you have to take it as a way for me to pretend to be a mother. Don't let my children look down on me too much. 。"Mother," Ye Wenyan persuaded Mu Shi, "No one looks down on you. At least I and your older brother and sister respect you. " 。“Just take it. I’m your mother, what's wrong with a mother giving her daughter something Isn't that supposed to be the norm” Ye Qingmei also said: “You just now lectured me about not being out of line, and I didn’t refuse that stall you gave me, so why don’t you take what our mother is giving us She’s our mother, no matter what she gives us, it’s because she loves us. Just accept it.” 。Three people were talking, the deed to the house was in Ye Wenyan's hand. At this moment, a loud shout came from the yard - "Second Sister, why are you here Are you looking for madam Have you eaten" This voice was obviously sending a message. Ye Qingmei stood up immediately and instinctively pushed the deed in Ye Wenyan's hand, meaning "put it away quickly so that Lianlian doesn't see it."。Yet, it seemed it was still too late. Ye Lianmian suddenly pushed open the door and saw what Ye Wenyan was holding in his hand. He immediately turned his face upside down. 。"What do you have What good thing did you secretly get" Yeliang walked towards Ye Wenyan while talking, reaching him in a few steps. 。“A deed Bai Pinxiang’s” She was almost shocked, and she directly asked Mu Shi— “You actually gave Bai Pinxiang to her So you three secretly did such a big deal behind my back Mu Qianqiu, why!”

Ye Wenyan’s face instantly changed……. It's just that he's worried about the Second Young Master, which is why I had to rush over here." 。"Second Young Master, are you alright"Ye Fei Zhou also let out a breath, putting his hand down and...
