Chapter 94: Does your mother want to return to the second house?

  Ye Yuqi and Guan Shi are both kind-hearted people, but she is not. If Qiu Yue said so, Ye Yuzhang would still make a fuss outside, and soon she would go out to clean him up.

  But the outer leaf chapter, where would he believe that Ye Zhuo was really sick? Seeing Guan's family enter the house, but not being able to follow in himself, he secretly scolded Jiang's family for not recognizing the situation and not following him to the main room to coax Ye Zhuo. He had no choice but to take out a killer move and loudly say: "Zhuo'er, I heard that your mother was driven out by the Zheng family, is this true? Is she okay now? Not me saying it, but this woman, apart from her husband's house, staying anywhere else is not a good thing. If your mother wants to return to Ye Fu, as long as you say a word, your grandfather will let her go back. Your father, though he doesn't say it out loud, is regretful in his heart for letting your mother leave Ye Fu in the first place."

  Everyone inside and outside the house was left speechless upon hearing this.

  I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone as shameless as this. At first, it was clearly the Ye family who drove away the Zhengs, but in Ye Yuzhang's words, it seemed like the Zhengs themselves were eager to leave. He says black is white and white is black; his face must be incredibly thick-skinned.

  The courtyard of Ye's big house wasn't very large, and it was unclear whether Zheng heard Ye Yu Zhang's words or what kind of reaction she would have.

  However, upon hearing this sentence, Guan's expression in the house changed. She stroked Ye Zhuo's silky black hair and sighed softly: "Zhuo'er, if your mother wants to return to the second house, you don't have to worry about me and your grandfather. We won't blame you no matter what you do. Although your uncle is not a good person, his words are right. Women can't stay anywhere except their husband's home. Your father may still have some feelings for your mother, even though he divorced her to make way for Gong Shi. Besides, things are different now. If your mother stays in the second house, they will rely on you to design jade carvings and make money, so they will definitely treat your mother well. If you and your mother are willing, I'll go with your grandfather to talk to them and give your mother a position as a proper wife."

  "My mother won't be back." Ye Zhuo said without hesitation. As for Zheng Shi, she thought she still understood her, since Zheng Shi had left the Ye family's door with her strong personality, she would not turn back, even if the Ye family asked her to return as the legitimate wife.

  "Alas, you young people don't understand the thoughts of us older women. When your mother left back then, she was angry and determined not to look back. But after staying at the Zheng's for so long and experiencing some things, perhaps her thoughts have changed too. You can't just make decisions for your mother without even asking." said Guan Shi seriously.

  Ye Chou thought for a moment and indeed felt some hesitation. A person's thoughts can change. Maybe Zheng Shi really did change her mind, just like Guan Shi said.

  If Zheng Shi really changed her mind and wanted to go back to the second house, what should be done? Should she think of a way to dispel Zheng Shi's idea or ignore it?

  Ye Zhuo felt somewhat bewildered.

  Guan's family looked at Ye Zhuo's face, thinking that the second house had initially disdained Ye Zhuo for having a bad fate and had discarded her like trash. Now that they discovered Ye Zhuo was talented, they wanted to take advantage of the situation. If Zheng's family really returned to the second house, the people from the main house would still have to curry favor with the second house to get by, Guan's family was furious at the thought. Hearing Ye Yu Zhang still babbling outside, Guan's family suddenly stood up with a "huff", her anger bursting forth as she said: "I'll go send him away." She opened the door and went out.

  Ye Zhuo didn't stop him.

  How to deal with Ye Yuzhang still needs to ask for Zheng's opinion before making a decision.

  "Gu said as he walked out of the room, "You just said you were heartbroken for Zhu'er, but now that she's ill, you won't even let her be? You're her grandfather, after all. There's a difference between men and women. What kind of reason is there to block the door of your sick granddaughter's room and talk to her? Hurry up and leave! If you have anything to say, wait until Zhu'er gets better."

  "Go on, go on." Ye Yuqi also pushed his younger brother out.

  "I'll come back tonight." The most moving words to Ye Zhuo had been said; now Ye Zhuo pretended to be ill, and Ye Yuzhang didn't withdraw. In his heart, he thought that no matter what, he would bring Jiang Shi and Ye Jiaming together by nightfall. He didn't say anything more and left obediently.

  As they watched Ye Yuzhang's figure disappear at the gate, Guan Shi and Ye Yuqi exchanged a glance, both seeing concern in each other's eyes. If Zheng Shi really went back to the second house, it was feared that the first house would not be able to live a peaceful life again.

  "Uncle, aunt, don't worry, I will never go back to the second house." Zheng's voice sounded behind them.

  "Manwen, you..." Guan Shi turned around, looking at Zheng Shi with a complex expression. As the head of the main house, she naturally didn't want Zheng Shi to return to the second house; but as a woman, she thought it was better for Zheng Shi to go back to the second house. In the past, it was okay that Zheng Shi lived in her brother's house and had someone to rely on. Now, however, she would be living alone in a rented house, not only lonely and desolate, but also with her beauty, there might be trouble brewing. Once her reputation was ruined, her life would be difficult for the rest of her days. It was better to return to the second house, as long as she had no desires or expectations, didn't fight or compete, and didn't hope for Ye Jia Ming's favor, living a peaceful life wouldn't be a problem.

  "This matter, I had figured it out long ago when I left the second house; now I don't regret it either." Zheng added.

  "What if the second wife allows you to take the position of the first wife?" Guan's eyes stared tightly at Zheng. She had decided that if Zheng showed even a hint of hesitation after she asked this question, she would do her best to make it happen. Zheng returned to the second house, and although the main house had more trouble, they couldn't be so selfish as to block Zheng from having a good life just to avoid their own troubles.

  Zheng's face revealed a resolute smile: "Even if Ye Jiaming were to divorce Gong at this moment and remarry me as his legitimate wife, I would not agree."

  "Mother, don't worry, I will make sure you live a comfortable life, and it will be better than the second wife's." Ye Zhuo appeared from the room and walked forward to hold onto Zheng Shi's arm.

  "Ah, I believe you. My daughter is becoming more capable now." Zheng's hands stroked Ye Zhuo's long hair, her face filled with emotion. As a mother, even the slightest change in her daughter couldn't escape her eyes. She wasn't unaware of Ye Zhuo's hand condition. But she found that Ye Zhuo was now completely different from before, whether physically or mentally. That vibrant and confident state, where everything was under control, made her swallow all her persuasions. What did physical hardship matter? As long as the spirit was satisfied and life was happy, it was better than anything else.

  Everything that happened yesterday and Ye Yuzhang's attitude just now made her have a deeper understanding of Ye Zhuo's efforts.

  If Ye Zhuo didn't have an astonishing ability, the big house would have been unbearable by now; it's already a blessing that Ye Yu Zhang didn't lock them out with a poker face, let alone come to the second house with a smiling face, speaking kindly, and even offering to let her return to the second house?

  From then on, she secretly made up her mind to learn embroidery from Madam Zhao. She couldn't achieve what Ye Zhen had achieved, but with this skill, she could still make a living for herself without any problem. Being able to support herself and not having to ask others for help was enough.

  Everyone in the Zheng family was delighted to hear about their idea.

  "Yu'er, Luo Jing Sheng has left. What do you think about what's going to happen next?" Ye Yuqi asked Ye Zhuo after breakfast.

  Although it was known to some people who carved the jade yesterday, they did not spread it out. However, many people who were watching the excitement at Yu Zhuo Fang still guessed that the two pieces of jade carving were carved by Ye Zhuo. After all, the block of jade material and waste materials that were taken into the house by Ye Zhuo and Qiu Yue were soon turned into that shape after they came out. Thinking back to the exquisite designs when Yu Zhuo Fang opened its business, it was not difficult for anyone with a brain to guess that these were done by Ye Zhuo. As for Qiu Yue, she was holding a brocade box during the jade material auction, and those who were shocked in their hearts would naturally observe her hands. Although she was a maid, she did not do rough work when she was in the main house before. After coming to the main house, because she wanted to learn embroidery from Zhao Shi, most of the rough work was done by Guan Shi and Qiu Ju. Therefore, her hands were still delicate, smooth, and not like those who had learned jade carving. So, only Ye Zhuo was left.

  Ye Yuzhang happened to hear this rumor, so he ran to the main house early in the morning. After this incident, Ye Yuqi actually thought that Ye Zhuo took the opportunity to make a name for himself, which was not a bad thing. Therefore, when Ye Yuzhang asked him, he did not deny it; however, because he was not clear about what Ye Zhuo was thinking, he did not admit it either.

  Ye Zhuo hadn't even spoken, but Guan Shi had already started talking: "Of course the workshop will have to invite Master Yu to carve jade again. You want Zhuo'er to be busy with the workshop's tasks, I absolutely won't agree. What kind of good girl would have to work hard to earn money to support her family? Don't you worry about others gossiping behind your back?"

  Ye Yuqi looked at his old partner with a helpless expression: "You can't stand Ah Zhang, don't vent your anger on me, okay? What kind of person am I, aren't you clear? Would I not invite Master Jade to carve and rely on Zhu'er to do chores to make money and support the family?"

  "Hmm, hard to say. Maybe you've been influenced by your money-loving brother." Guan's words were still tough.

  Ye Yiqi smiled wryly and shook his head, turning his gaze towards Ye Zhuo.

  Ye Zhuo only smiled and watched the old couple bicker, without any intention of intervening. It wasn't until Ye Yuqi looked at her that she said: "I think my skills are still not enough, so I need to put most of my energy into learning. However, this time Ruyi Fang has accidentally gained fame, we don't have to hide our abilities anymore. The few hundred taels of silver we earned yesterday can be used to buy some jade materials, and I'll design them. For the high-quality jade that I'm interested in, I'll carve it myself; for the rest, we'll need to invite a jade carver to do it. As for yesterday's matter..." She hesitated and stopped speaking, looking somewhat troubled.

  Thank you stillia, Dongfang Fengyun and Mu Xinqiao for the New Year's red envelope. The Chinese New Year is approaching soon, today is Saturday again, everyone must be busy buying goods for the festival?
