Zhou felt guilty and did not dare to see Ye Jinxuan, so she said, "Just say that I have a headache and I have already laid down and can't get up."
"Third Aunt, what's wrong? Don't you want to see me?" Ye Jiayao walked in with a smile.
Zhou looked embarrassed and said: "How could it be? I really have a headache. Seeing what happened today, I almost fainted."
Ye Jiayao didn't wait for her to greet her, and sat down with a smile.
Mrs. Zhou gave the maid a wink, and the maid hurriedly went to make tea.
Ye Jiayao was holding the tea and sipping it slowly without saying anything. Zhou was in a state of confusion, "Auntie, you sat down as soon as you came here and didn't say anything. What's going on?" Did Ye Jinxuan come on her own behalf, or on the order of her sister-in-law
Mrs. Zhou said weakly: "Jinxuan, it was Third Aunt who was confused this time. Third Aunt can't help you. Third Aunt promises that there will be no next time."
Ye Jiayao remained calm and exerted invisible pressure on Zhou. Zhou still still had the Marquis Mansion in her heart, and she still cared about this family. It was not hopeless, which would determine the content of her conversation today.
Now that she finally heard what she wanted to hear, Ye Jiayao slowly put down the tea cup and said calmly: "Whenever anyone is confused, I often make mistakes, but I am absolutely unambiguous on major matters, because some mistakes cannot be made." It’s irreversible.”
"Yes, yes, the third aunt will never dare to do this again." Mrs. Zhou said with an apologetic smile.
Ye Jiayao nodded: "This can't be entirely blamed on the third aunt. The third aunt is also taking advantage of the future of the third uncle and the cousins. As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos, so I came here to talk to the third aunt. chat."
When Zhou heard what she said, the stone in her heart slowly eased.
"Third Aunt, actually, the most serious mistake you made was not slandering me, but..."
Ye Jiayao paused after saying this.
Zhou's heart suddenly jumped up again: "What is it?"
Ye Jiayao looked at her quietly and said, "Third Aunt is too good at bluffing. Liuli tried to bluff you with Third Uncle's incident in Jingzhou. You believed it immediately, and she led her away. What if?" One day, something happens to Third Uncle. It's not a big deal originally. But if Third Aunt, you are so easy to be deceived and bluffed, then... small things will become big things, and big things will become irreversible."
Zhou's heart trembled.
Ye Jiayao continued: "To put it mildly, you are calling yourself guilty of committing crimes."
Zhou was shocked again, feeling like she was enlightened. Yes, her behavior was equal to guilty conscience, equal to fear, equal to giving evidence to others.
"Ten thousand steps back, if someone really exposes the third uncle and makes the third uncle unhappy by the prince, the prince will at least look at the face of Marquis Jing'an and not investigate further. The worst is, he will not reuse him again. The prince knows How could King Yu not know about this? What is his purpose of wooing you now? Is it just to deal with me? Third Aunt, you think too simply. Even if King Yu reuses Third Uncle now, the ultimate purpose is to Dealing with the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, if the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion falls, do you think King Yu will re-appoint someone who is not an honest official? Can he even betray his brother for the sake of his future title? Once he comes to power, I'm afraid he will be the first to be dealt with. The person who lost it must be someone like Uncle San!"
Ye Jiayao said slowly, with a calm tone but heavy content.
Zhou couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, yes! Why didn't she think about it this way? When King Yu crosses the river and burns the bridge, isn't that a dead end
"Third Aunt, you have to understand that the master and the marquis are brothers from the same mother. Their blood is thicker than water, and they are like melons on a vine. If the vine is cut off, no one can survive. If the Jingan Marquis Mansion is... If it falls, it will be a disaster for everyone. When the nest is overturned, no eggs will be left intact."
Ye Jiayao's tone became solemn.
Zhou not only nodded repeatedly, she was not stupid, she was just confused for a moment. After Ye Jinxuan said this, what else could she not understand
"When the tooth bites the tongue, the family is bumping into each other. If there is any conflict, it is a family matter. It will not hurt the muscles and bones, and it will not cost the life. But if the tooth bites the tongue, the tooth must be extracted. Or cut out the tongue, wouldn't it mean that those who love you will be happy with your enemies?"
Zhou couldn't help but nod again.
"Why is my mother-in-law so angry this time and can't tolerate you? Do you think she is just thinking about herself and to relieve her anger? Third aunt, this is not the case. You know that you and your mother-in-law have been arguing constantly over the years, but your mother-in-law talks the most Do you know what the saying is? My mother-in-law tells me every time, we are all a family, so what else can we really care about?"
"Mother-in-law is afraid this time, she is afraid that you will harm the third uncle and harm the entire Hou family." Ye Jiayao said with deep regret.
Mrs. Zhou felt ashamed and said, "I understand. I will apologize to my sister-in-law later."
Ye Jiayao sighed slightly: "It's good that Third Aunt can understand. As a family, we are interdependent and we can stand firm in this stormy situation. Third Aunt, let the past unpleasantness pass. Don't worry about it." Just take it as a warning.”
"Yes, I will never do anything stupid again. This time, I am really sorry for you." Mrs. Zhou felt even more ashamed.
Ye Jiayao smiled: "I won't take the rumors to heart, but it's just this time. This time, my mother-in-law didn't let me come forward to protect me. Next time, if anyone dares to conspire to frame me, then I will let him She has a taste of my methods, but I am not as easy to negotiate as my mother-in-law."
This is a threat from Chiguoguo. You must first move it emotionally and understand it clearly, but for some people, you need to use an absolute threat to scare them.
If you don't take action, then if you take action, you must absolutely hit the enemy without any ability to fight back.
The muscles on Zhou's face were twitching, how could she not hear Ye Jinxuan's warning. Speaking of which, in the Xia family, the person she really feared was not her sister-in-law but her nephew-in-law... Ye Jinxuan.
How many times has it seemed that she is about to fall into a desperate situation, but she can always miraculously recover the situation. This is one's ability and one's luck.
Liuli hated her, but each time she only made herself more embarrassed. The Queen Mother did not like her, and she is no longer here. On the contrary, Ye Jinxuan was favored by the Emperor, protected by the Queen, the Crown Princess became friends with her, and the ancestors of Prince Helian Palace gave her She supported her and soared all the way up. As far as this turmoil was concerned, the Queen had dealt with so many people for her. From now on, who would dare to look down on her
Everyone has a calculation in their mind, and so does the Zhou family. She secretly made up her mind that she would never offend Ye Jinxuan again, otherwise she would never get any good results from her.
Seeing Zhou's reaction, Ye Jiayao knew that today's goal had been achieved. She smiled and said: "Third Aunt, if you encounter anything in the future, you can discuss it with me. I will help if I can. Even if I can't help, I can still help." You come up with ideas, we are all part of the same family!"
"Yes, from now on, Third Aunt will have to trouble you more." Mrs. Zhou said with a shy smile.
Ye Jiayao smiled and stood up to say goodbye: "Third aunt, please rest for now if you feel dizzy. However, it is better to untie the knot between you and my mother-in-law as soon as possible. As a family, there is nothing that cannot be said."
At this moment, Ye Jiayao used the honorific title "you" to reassure Zhou.
If people like Zhou cannot be solved at once, then it is best to turn the hostility into friendship. It is not that Zhou is very capable, but he is helpless. Sometimes a mouse dropping can muddy up the whole pot of porridge. Fortunately, Zhou is very capable. Cares about her family. This is both a weakness and a strength.
After returning from the Zhou family, Ye Jiayao went to the main courtyard again. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw her eldest brother Chunli kneeling in the courtyard, with one side of his face swollen, obviously having been hit by the iron palm of the Marquis.
However, there was only guilt in Chunli's eyes, but no hatred. Ye Jiayao was relieved. This family was experiencing an unprecedented crisis. At this time, her family could not have any more dissent and cause trouble again.
After entering the house, Chunyu and Mr. Hou were not there. The maid said that they were in the study.
Ye Jiayao nodded and went in to see Youshi.
Mrs. You was seen sighing, while Mr. Qiao was sitting on the bedside wiping her tears.
When Youshi saw her coming, she said to Qiaoshi, "Go and let Chunli get up. You also go back and take a good look at Zhuangzhuang."
Mrs. Qiao understood that her mother-in-law had something to say to her second younger brother and sister.
Mrs. Qiao walked out, and Ye Jiayao sat down where Mrs. Qiao was sitting just now, and said softly: "Mother, you can take care of her with peace of mind, don't think too much."
There was a hint of hatred in Youshi's eyes: "I really didn't expect Liuli to become like this."
Ye Jiayao was silent, yes, she didn't expect that. She originally thought that she was the unbeatable Xiaoqiang. The more she fought, the braver she became. Unexpectedly, Liuli was also frustrated again and again, and started over again. Now she is becoming more and more powerful.
"Jinxuan, we must find a way to find Cuiyan. We cannot keep the child in her belly." Youshi gritted her teeth.
Although this child is also a bloodline of the Xia family, the Xia family cannot afford this child.
Ye Jiayao understood and even agreed. Although she thought it was a bit cruel to deprive an unformed little life, she had to put the overall situation first. This child was a disaster to the Xia family.
However, everything is still unknown now. It is even unclear whether there is this child or not. Who can guarantee that Liuli is not deceiving. As long as she hides Cui Yan for a day, this mystery will not be solved, and it will always be the most powerful card in Liuli's hand.
"Well, my wife knows that she will find a way to solve this matter." Ye Jiayao promised.
"You should be more careful. I think Liuli's hatred for our Hou Mansion is bottomless. You haven't seen that the way she looked at Chunfeng today was so cold, so cold that it made people freeze. "Youshi is very worried.
Yeah? That means Liuli has given up on Chunfeng, and maybe she even hates Chunfeng.
She understands Liuli's stubbornness, she never knows how to retreat, she only knows how to move forward, even if one step forward is into an abyss and she will fall to pieces.
Such stubbornness is terrible and sad.
Youshi also saw this, so she was worried, fearing that Liuli would be driven into a panic and both the jade and the stone would be destroyed.
"Don't worry, I'm measured." Ye Jiayao said.
