Chapter 182 Guarantee

Xia Youshi displayed unprecedented strength in front of Zhoushi, which made Zhoushi suddenly confused. Was she really going to admit defeat today?
"How can you bully me like this?" Yulian asked with tears in her eyes. She was different from Jinlian and Yinlian. She was a legitimate daughter. How could she watch her own mother being bullied by her aunt and second cousin?

Ye Jiayao glanced at them calmly and sneered, "Sister Yulian, are you blind or deaf? Who is bullying whom? If today's incident gets out, outsiders will just sigh and wonder how such a scoundrel could have appeared in the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion, but the impact on you will be much more far-reaching. Your uncle's future, the futures of your cousins, and the marriages of your sisters, who would be willing to make friends or even marry into a family like yours?"

This is absolutely a blatant threat.

She didn't mind using force or even mean means to deal with a shameless person. Talking to a scoundrel would only make her vomit blood. The only way was to be more arrogant and unreasonable than the scoundrel.

Yu Lian's face turned pale. Marriage is the most important turning point in a woman's life. If she were to be implicated by it, her life would be ruined.

Yu Lian said nothing more, and even hoped that her mother would lower her head.

Zhou had originally hoped that her daughter would come out to help her, but Chunyu's wife's words made her dare not even say a word.

"Chun Guo, get up. You did nothing wrong. Why are you kneeling?" Ye Jiayao pulled Chun Guo who was still kneeling there.

Then he said to Madam Sun, "Madam Sun, since the Third Madam refuses to admit her mistakes and apologize, let her go. Send someone to watch them pack up and kick them out."

Damn it, it’s not you who want to leave, it’s us who are kicking you out.

This is completely different in nature.

Mother Sun hesitated now. Should she really do this? If the Marquis knew about this, he would definitely kill people!

Xia Youshi asked, "Mother Sun, are you deaf too?"

"You dare?" Zhou panicked.

Xia Youshi said coldly, "Do you think I dare to do that? From now on, don't even think about me spoiling you anymore."

Zhou's mind was working fast. She was obviously at a disadvantage in the current situation. She was just yelling that she wanted to break up with him because this trick worked every time. Suddenly, this trick didn't work anymore. He wanted to break up with her instead. She panicked. They had been away from Jinling for many years. They were not familiar with the people here. They had to rely on their elder brother and elder sister-in-law for everything. Without their protection, their family would be in trouble! Besides, she saw that Chunyu's wife was so cruel that she could do anything... But the Marquis would not allow them to do so. Thinking of this, Zhou straightened her back again.

Ye Jiayao had been observing Zhou's expression, which changed from wavering to resoluteness, but this resoluteness was definitely not the resoluteness to apologize. Ye Jiayao sneered, "Third Aunt, you'd better not expect the Marquis to stand up for you. Although the Marquis values ​​brotherhood, he is not a person who cannot distinguish right from wrong. Now that it has come to this, do you think the Marquis will protect you, or will he protect the ancestral teachings and family rules and protect his wife and children?"

The little hope that Zhou had just had was shattered by Ye Jiayao's bloody attack.

Ye Jiayao saw that she was already scared and wavering, so she took another step and said sternly, "Mother Sun, if you don't send someone to kick them out, tomorrow I will make sure that everyone in Jinling knows what they have done."

"Sister-in-law..." Zhou screamed in fright.

Ye Jiayao stared at her coldly. Zhou lowered her head and said hesitantly, "Sister-in-law, I didn't mean to offend you. Please don't take it personally."

"Does this count as an apology?" Ye Jiayao sneered.

Zhou was still afraid of Ye Jiayao. This woman was too arrogant and she absolutely could not confront her head-on.

"Killing people is not enough. I have already admitted my guilt. What else do you want?" Zhou said aggrievedly.

Ye Jiayao said coldly: "Of course it's not that easy. Unless Third Aunt promises not to make the same mistake again next time, we don't have that much patience if this happens every other day."

"Mother Sun, bring me some paper and pen."

No one knew what the Second Young Lady was going to do, so Grandma Sun immediately asked someone to get paper and pen.

Ye Jiayao looked at the three lotus flowers and thought that this matter had to be done by the legitimate daughter Yu Lian.

"Sister Yulian, please come here."

Yulian looked at her mother and moved over timidly.

"I say, you write." Ye Jiayao handed her the paper and pen.

"I, Xia Zhou, promise that from now on I will no longer cause trouble or make unreasonable demands..."

Yulian and Zhou's faces changed drastically.

"Mrs. Chunyu, what do you mean by this?" Zhou asked with gritted teeth.

Ye Jiayao raised her eyebrows, smiling: "For most people, an apology would be enough, but is Third Aunt an ordinary person? Who can guarantee that Third Aunt's apology is not a double-edged sword? Will she distort the facts and play tricks after leaving this house? In order to prevent such unpleasant things from happening again in the future, and for the family to live in harmony, I think it is necessary to ask Third Aunt to write a letter of guarantee. Mother, what do you think?" Xia Youshi nodded in agreement: "It is indeed necessary."

Wow, Zhou's blood was boiling. This is too much. This is too much.

"You bully my mother, I will tell my father." Chunsi suddenly ran out, but was tripped by Chunguo's kick and burst into tears.

Ye Jiayao smiled in her heart, Chun Guo, well done.

When Zhou saw her precious baby fall, she felt so sad: "You...you are too much."

Ye Jiayao disagreed: "Not even one ten-thousandth of Aunt San's. So, you still don't want to sign the guarantee? If you don't sign, get out."

"You are bullying others by taking advantage of your power." Zhou felt that she was so angry that she was about to burst out, but she was at a loss for words. She gritted her teeth for a long time and blurted out these words.

"No one has ever dared to look down on the Marquis' Mansion, and no one has dared to bully it. The Marquis' Mansion likes to make good friends, but good friends often bring bad results. The dignity of the Marquis' Mansion cannot be challenged by anyone." Ye Jiayao said in a loud voice.

"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and write." Ye Jiayao saw Yu Lian standing there stupidly and shouted.

In the end, Zhou signed the letter of guarantee, but she regretted it as soon as she signed it. Ye Jiayao was quick and snatched it away, giving it to Xia You for safekeeping.

Xia Youshi looked at the letter of guarantee with satisfaction, as well as Zhou's face, which was as ugli as it could be. She felt that the anger that had been pent up in her heart for more than ten years had dissipated.

It was satisfying. She knew that she had to use extraordinary means to deal with Zhou. She had thought about punishing Zhou so harshly countless nights, but when she really faced Zhou, she couldn't do it. Today, the second son's wife did it for her, and she did it so thoroughly and so satisfyingly. With this letter of guarantee, it was like she had caught Zhou's handle, and she didn't have to be afraid of Zhou anymore.

"Mother, although my actions today were due to my own reasons, I have still offended the elders. Now I will ask to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment." Ye Jiayao knelt down, saluted, turned around and walked out.

There is still the hurdle of dealing with the Marquis to overcome, and one cannot get through it without suffering a little.

Xia Youshi did not stop it, but her expression was very complicated. The second son's wife took all the responsibility to protect her dignity. How could she not be moved?

The servants all consciously made way for the Second Young Madam to pass. There was admiration and even more awe in their eyes when they looked at her. This is how the future mistress of the Marquis' Mansion should be.

The Marquis finally got the news. Zhou burst into tears and pointed at Chunsi's broken hand, complaining that she was bullied by her sister-in-law and Chunyu's wife.

The third master, Xia Zhuoqin, flew into a rage: "Brother, how do you think we should solve this problem?"

The old marquis looked at the crying family of the third son, and then looked at his wife Youshi who looked calm. He suddenly felt overwhelmed and asked Youshi in a gruff voice: "What is going on? The third son's family just arrived today, and you guys are already quarreling. What a shame."

Xia Youshi smiled coldly: "Mrs. Chunyu is right, a dog will never stop eating shit."

"Sister-in-law, I call you sister-in-law out of respect for you, but if you want to bully my wife and children, I will never forgive you." Xia Zhuoqin said angrily.

Xia Youshi's eyes were stern: "You're not done with me? Fine, come at me if you have any tricks. I'll be waiting."

"Shut up, everyone." The old marquis shouted angrily, and turned his gaze to Qiao: "Mingxiu, tell me what's going on."

Qiao did not dare to hide anything and told everything truthfully from beginning to end.

Although the old marquis looks rough, he is actually very thoughtful and shrewd. Although Jin Xuan offended the elders, it was the best way to resolve the dispute tonight. The dignity of Xia You was preserved, and Zhou was severely punished and wrote a letter of guarantee. No matter what tricks Zhou does in the future, with this letter of guarantee in hand, she will always be the one in the wrong.

Zhou has already learned her lesson. For the sake of the third brother's face, she cannot say anything to her anymore. The third brother also needs to be appeased.

All in all, it was Chun Guo, that outspoken brat, who caused all the trouble.

The old marquis thought for a moment and said, "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. I know your sister-in-law's temper. She would never say such a thing. It must be those gossipers who are gossiping behind her back. Third brother's wife, don't be angry. We didn't ask you for money. Why are you so anxious? It's really inappropriate to keep nagging about moving out. Third brother, don't you think so? It's a woman's trivial affairs, and we men shouldn't get involved."

After hearing what happened, Xia Zhuoqin knew that she was in the wrong. She knew clearly what Zhou was planning. She took advantage of the situation to make a scene so that her sister-in-law would not dare to ask her for money. In the past, Zhou always won when she made a scene, but this time she ran into a tough guy and suffered a setback.

Moreover, it was obvious that my brother was protecting my sister-in-law in his words. If I continued to take it seriously, I would be the one who would suffer in the end.

But he couldn't swallow the fact that nothing was pursued. After all, Zhou was forced to sign a letter of guarantee. When Xia Zhuoqin thought of the letter of guarantee, he felt uncomfortable.

"Although it's just a misunderstanding, Chunyu's wife is too arrogant and unreasonable, and she has no respect for her elders. If she is not punished, where will the ancestral teachings and rules of the Xia family be placed?" Xia Zhuoqin said in a deep voice.
