”Go and get Ru'Er over here.”

For the past few days, Ye Jingru had been asking around for news of her grandfather and grandmother returning to the capital. However, all of them were firm and decisive. Ye Jingru was not confident.

However, the Xie Clan had just woken up, and their bodies were still weak. She truly didn't dare to tell the Xie Clan such news.

Lady Xie could tell that something was wrong with her daughter. She asked with concern, ”Ru'Er, what's wrong?”

If she had heard of this news in the past, she would have happily offered her advice so that she could make Ye Jinsu suffer. Now, he only nodded with a weird expression on his face and did not have much of a reaction.

Knowing that her daughter was Mo Rui's mother, Madam Xie guessed that Ye Jingru knew something bad and pressed on.

Ye Jingru lowered her head and stuttered. Her mother's lips were still pale. The doctor said she needed to rest for at least a month. It hadn't even been half a month, and if these things were to be said, the Xie Clan's condition would be even worse.

Ye JinRu refused to speak. Xie's face became stern as she ordered Huaiyu, ”Go and call Wen Yuan over!”

Wen Yuan was Ye Jingru's personal servant. Ye Jingru had instructed her not to divulge this information to the Xie Clan a long time ago. However, on one side was her young mistress, and on the other was her manager's mother. Wen Yuan, who stood in the middle, didn't know what to do.

She wanted to reprimand him, but her chest felt stuffy and she could only cough out the words in the end.

Huaiyu understood her Lady Xie's thoughts. She stepped forward and scolded her, ”Madam is asking you a question now. If you don't want to say it, drag it out for someone to beat to death!”

The Xie Clan had always been this way. Wen Yuan was so frightened that she hesitated and turned her gaze towards Ye Jingru. However, Ye Jinru was only worried and couldn't do anything about her furious mother.

Seeing this, Huaiyu waved her hand to call someone to drag her out.

Seeing that she was about to be dragged out, Wen Yuan was so scared that she kowtowed and said, ”I said!” I say, I say! ”

As she said that, she looked at the people around her, and Huaiyu sent the others away with a wave of her hand.

Mrs Xie leaned against the bedside. ”You can say it now, right?”

Wen Yuan lowered her head. She was so nervous that she didn't dare to look at the Xie Clan nor at Ye Jingru who was standing in the same direction as the Xie Clan. ”Yes …” ”It's the young miss who recently heard that the Old Master and Old Lady are returning to the capital.”

Mrs Xie was stunned for a second, her expression frozen for a moment as she glanced at her daughter at the side. Ye Jingru's eyes were red and her face was filled with worry. The Xie Clan's heart skipped a beat.

”She means to say …” Lady Xie looked at Ye Jingru and spoke faintly. However, she could not continue the words that came out of her mouth.

Ye JinRu saw that Lady Xie's expression was getting worse and worse. She frantically tried to comfort her, ”It's just some rumors, and I don't know if they're true or not. Don't take it to heart, Mother.”

Mrs Xie naturally understood what he meant.

Ye Zhenzheng had been a university scholar for more than ten years, but he had never mentioned bringing the Old Granny to the capital for a happy life. He had only stuffed a large amount of silver into his hometown. Why was that?

Part of the reason for this was that the Old Master had forced Ye Chonglou to accept a concubine.

Now …

Mrs Xie suddenly felt dizzy, her chest was so knotted that it was hard to calm down. She could not even breathe, and her body fell backwards powerlessly.

Ye Jinru quickly hugged her hands and stretched out her hands to smooth the back of Xie's anger for a long time before she managed to recover a sliver of her consciousness.

”Mother …” After all, Ye Jinru was still young. Seeing her mother act this way, she was both nervous and afraid. She immediately cried out, ”Mother, do you not want us anymore, father?”

When the sound of her daughter's weeping reached her ears, it was a heart-wrenching pain.

No, she still had a daughter.

She could not bear to see her daughter suffer like this. She pulled Ye Jingru's hand and softly asked, ”Be good, your father will not leave you behind.”

”Tell mom first, what did you learn about these past few days?”

Ye Jinsu sobbed as she wiped away her tears, ”I, I first sent Wen Yuan to get close to the people serving in my father's courtyard. They all said that they have heard of this matter, but whether it is true or not is unknown. ”

”Later on, I bribed the servants in my father's room and they said that it was true.”

As she spoke, she started crying again.
