C57 (1/2)

The angry shout of the Old Madame Ye caused the silence in the room to subside. Jin Lan stuck closely to the old lady, the smile on his face gradually turning into shock. The old lady had actually disregarded everything and embarrassed her mother in front of her daughter.

Not to mention the others, her mother had at least cut off her flesh as a guide, saving the old lady's life. How could she insult her mother like this the moment she returned home?

Could it be that something happened while the old lady was on her way home?

Jin Lan's thoughts raced, but the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became. She looked at Ye Lin who was seated at the side, seeing that he did not say a word, his face was gloomy, obviously knowing the reason behind the Old Granny's actions.

Her heart slowly sank to the bottom. Although she was anxious, she couldn't casually interrupt because she was a junior. Furthermore, she didn't know the current situation, so she could only suppress her emotions.

Madame SHen slowly stood up. Although there was no smile on her face, there was not the slightest bit of panic. She walked up to the old lady and bent her knees deeply. However, she crouched down and did not kneel down. I don't know what mistake the daughter-in-law made to make the old lady so angry, but the daughter-in-law will apologize to you. ”

Old Madame Ye squinted her eyes. She had purposely brought out her thunder and lightning fury from the start just to suppress Madame SHen's aura. She did not expect that after not seeing her for half a year, Madame SHen's calm personality had grown even more.

Thinking up to here, Old Madame Ye's narrowed eyes flashed with an ice-cold light, ”You still know that you are my Ye Family's daughter-in-law? You have completely lost face for the Ye Family! ”

Madame SHen frowned, her beautiful eyebrows knitted together, a trace of seriousness on her face. Even though the old lady didn't like her in the past, she had only used the words of the childless as a reason to oppress her. She had never used such a heavy explanation to suppress her. Old lady, ever since I married into the Ye Family, I have taken care of everything in a neat and orderly manner, and have never done anything that would damage my Ye Family 'face, no matter what.

”Mother, could there be a misunderstanding …” Ye Lin suddenly opened his mouth, but for the first time, he spoke up for Madame SHen. Not only because he needed the help of the Shen Family, but all these years, although Madame SHen did not have any direct sons, but everything else was as she said. He had done very well in all aspects, especially things that were beneficial to him.

”Misunderstanding?” Old Madame Ye immediately glared at Ye Lin, sneered and took out a square piece of white paper from her sleeves, then slammed it onto the table, ”Has everyone already written out the paper, and is ready to sue us at the yamen, or is it a misunderstanding?”

Jin Lan's gaze moved to that white piece of paper. It was an ordinary writing paper, the sort that was extremely cheap and had a yellow hue with varying depths. The words on it were written with some sort of cinnabar. Although he couldn't see what was written on it, he could see the red marks on the paper.

Ye Lin picked up the sheet of paper, opened it and looked at it a few times with a face that was extremely ugly to behold. He looked up at Madame SHen, his gaze obscure, as if trying to gauge his gains and losses.

No matter how calm Madame SHen was, she could not remain calm under Ye Lin's gaze. She tried her best to stabilize her tone and said calmly: ”I don't know what crime I have committed, please enlighten me old lady.”

Old Madame Ye snorted coldly, she raised the teacup to her mouth and took a sip, then said coldly: ”Let me ask you, did you send a servant girl to the yamen cell a few days ago?”

Could it be that the old lady was talking about Chun Xiao? Madame SHen suspiciously glanced at Ye Lin, only to see his gaze flicker as he subtly lowered his head.

She immediately understood. ”That's right, I did send a maid with malicious intentions to the officials.”

Seeing that the Madame SHen recognized her quickly, she then asked: ”Then let me ask you one more question, how is the maid now?”

How about it? Isn't that obvious? Since the old lady knew about Chun Xiao's matter, how could she not know that she had died? The reason for her asking was to get her to say it out herself. Madame SHen laughed coldly in her heart as she indifferently replied: ”Dead.”

Old Madame Ye's face became stern, ”That girl died in there for no reason, her family wants to sue us for our lives, and even blocked my palanquin from kneeling down, making it known to everyone, if this isn't disgrace to our Ye Family, then what is it!?”

Blocking the old lady's palanquin while she was on her knees, calling for injustice? Jin Lan's eyelids jumped as he could not sit still.
