Chapter 264 A Shameless Family
After dinner, Ye Jiayao decided to go to Wei's house, and Xia Chunyu naturally accompanied her.

The Wei residence is bustling with activity at this moment.

Qi hated Wei Liujiang to death. This nephew whom she loved from the bottom of her heart had harmed her husband and her family.

Now, Minister Mu has been convicted and is said to be sentenced to a heavy punishment. His life or death is still unknown. The Mu family has been raided, and she has gone from being the minister's wife of a distinguished status to a destitute commoner. The futures of her sons have been ruined, and the Mu family is finished.

If she had not purchased a few acres of land and a small yard in the countryside in the name of someone else, her family would have had to beg on the streets.

How could she not hate Wei Liujiang? How could she swallow this anger? She wanted to strangle this ungrateful man to death with her own hands.

So, as soon as she learned that Wei Liujiang was released, she rushed over from the countryside to settle accounts with Wei Liujiang.

At this moment, she cursed Wei Liujiang, her sister and her brother-in-law at the top of her lungs.

"How have we, the Mu family, wronged your Wei family? You have caused us so much harm. Wei Liujiang, has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

Wei Liujiang hid behind his mother and dared not speak.

Although Wei Qi sympathized with her sister's family's situation, Liu Jiang was her son after all, so she naturally had to protect her son.

"Sister, how can you blame us Liujiang? It is a fact that my brother-in-law is corrupt and accepts bribes. Did we Liujiang make him do this?"

Mu Qi almost vomited blood and laughed bitterly, "Sister, it turns out that like mother, like son. Liu Jiang has inherited all your teachings! Fortunately, Mu Tong loved Liu Jiang so much, who knew that he would die in his hands in the end? If Liu Jiang hadn't held on to Mu Tong, would our Mu family have fallen into such a miserable state today?"

Mu Qinchu came here with his mother today. He hated Wei Liujiang so much that he gritted his teeth and wished he could drink his blood and gnaw his flesh.

Now they actually dared to say such sarcastic remarks. This was intolerable. Mu Qinchu immediately rolled up his sleeves, stepped forward and grabbed Wei Liujiang by the collar, glaring and angrily said, "Wei Liujiang, you bastard, I'm going to beat you to death today."

As he said this, he swung his fist and punched Wei Liujiang hard in the face.

Mr. Wei was originally feeling guilty, thinking that Liu Jiang was the one who had let him down. However, when he saw his son being beaten, he no longer cared about anything else and hurried forward to stop the fight.

"If you have something to say, talk it over nicely. Don't get physical. We are all family."

"Damn you, your family. Is there such a family? I am so stupid. I should have seen how dark and vicious his heart was when he used such despicable means to deal with his wife who had not yet married me. I was blind and begged Mu Tong to take care of him. Now, he finally suffered the consequences..." Mu Qi complained sadly, and then she said bitterly: "If Mu Tong can't survive, I want your family to be buried with him."

Wei Qi felt sorry for her son and took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. From childhood to adulthood, she and her master had never touched Liu Jiang even a finger, but now he had suffered such a great crime, being locked up in jail, enduring a lot of hardships, and now being beaten. It made her heart break just thinking about it.

After all, Master Wei felt guilty and was still afraid of Qi's threats because he and his brother-in-law had teamed up to obtain some illegal wealth. If Qi exposed him, he would have to go to jail.

You still have to coax him first.

Master Wei said kindly: "Don't get excited yet. Liu Jiang did something he shouldn't have done. We were negligent in disciplining him. We are also responsible, but Liu Jiang didn't want to do it. Liu Jiang told us that he was threatened. If he doesn't confess and doesn't change his confession, he will be tortured and sentenced to a heavy sentence..."

Mr. Wei winked at his mistress as he spoke, and Wei Qi had no choice but to leave her son behind and come over to comfort her sister.

Master Wei said, "We are very sad that my brother-in-law has suffered this misfortune, but to be honest, even without Liu Jiang's confession, my brother-in-law would not have escaped this disaster. Now, the court is rectifying official discipline, and my brother-in-law has run into the muzzle of the gun."

Mu Qi said coldly: "You mean that our Mu Tong deserved the punishment for his own crime?"

"Don't get angry first, and listen to me." Master Wei hurriedly comforted him, "Now that things have come to this, it's useless to blame anyone. We should work together to solve the problem. I will stay in Jinling for a while and use all my connections and relationships to run around for my brother-in-law and strive for a lighter sentence. As long as the green mountains are there, there will be no shortage of firewood. Even if the reason for Liujiang did not exist, we are a family, and I will not sit idly by and watch. From now on, your family is the responsibility of our Wei family. When your brother-in-law's matter is settled, you will follow us to Jinan, and I will treat Qin Chu as my own child..."

Master Wei's words hit Mu Qi's vital point. Minister Mu was already like this, and Mu Qi was most worried about her son. She had originally thought that she would fight to the death and make the Wei family suffer retribution, but now she thought that she really had to rely on the Wei family in the future. Mu Qi gradually calmed down.

Ye Jiayao and Xia Chunyu heard everything clearly from the doorway.

Ye Jiayao felt that she had made a wrong trip. Why should she care so much about such a shameless family?
"Chun Yu, let's go!"

Xia Chunyu also had no good feelings towards the people inside. He was willing to come here only for Yaoyao's sake.

When she was leaving the house, she happened to run into A-Lian, who happily said, "Second Young Madam, you are here."

Ye Jiayao asked casually, "Is the Second Miss okay?"

Ah Lian was surprised: "Didn't the Second Young Madam see the Second Young Miss?"

Ye Jiayao said, "I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. You ask the Second Miss to take good care of herself and the child."

A Lian watched the Second Young Madam and the Crown Prince leave, feeling confused. Why did the Second Young Madam come and leave without even seeing the Second Young Lady?
Ye Jinrong was in her room at the moment, happily playing with the child. Now that Liu Jiang was fine, she felt like she was alive again.

When her aunt came to visit her, Liu Jiang refused to let her go out and told her to stay in the house and take care of the children. Liu Jiang was afraid that she would hear something bad! Her aunt must have hated Liu Jiang to death, but she didn't care. She just wanted Liu Jiang to be fine.

A Lian pushed the door open and came in with a bowl of rice paste in her hand. The second young lady had no milk, so the poor little young lady could only eat rice paste. "Second young lady, I just saw the eldest young lady."

Ye Jinrong was stunned: "She's here? Why doesn't she come to see me?"

A Lian said, "I saw her and the prince coming out of the main courtyard. She looked unhappy. The eldest lady also asked me to tell the second lady to take good care of herself and take good care of the young lady."

Ye Jinrong seemed to be thinking about something. They just came out of the main courtyard. Aren’t her aunt and mother-in-law talking in the main courtyard now?
Sitting in the carriage, Ye Jiayao said depressedly: "I will never care about this family's affairs again. They are all birds of a feather, the same kind of stuff, it's frustrating to see them."

Xia Chunyu held her hand and stroked her palm with his fingertips. Her hands were so cold.

"If you think so, there's no need to make yourself unhappy because of them. Now that Wei Liujiang has come out, Ye Jinrong shouldn't bother you anymore."

Ye Jiayao was silent. Who knows what will happen in the future?
Xia Chunyu said, "Tomorrow is a holiday. Do you want to go to the farm with me? I heard that the frame of the house has been built."

Xia Chun thought that she was in a bad mood because of a lot of troubles these days, so he took the opportunity to take her out to relax.

Ye Jiayao was about to agree, but suddenly remembered that she had a class at the training class tomorrow morning, so she said, "Can I go later? I have to go to the training class tomorrow morning."

Xia Chunyu imagined her as a teacher and found it novel: "Okay, but I want to audit the class."

"No, if you're there, it will affect my performance." Ye Jiayao flatly refused.

Xia Chunyu smiled and said, "Just pretend that I don't exist."

Ye Jiayao said angrily: "Your presence is too strong, I can't pretend you don't exist."

Xia Chunyu laughed loudly, held her down and kissed her hard on the face.

The next day, Xia Chunyu did not go to listen in after all. He waited for her at home until she came back from class and then went to the farm together.

Xia Chunyu was reading a book in the study when he heard footsteps. He didn't even raise his head, thinking that it was Xue Ye coming to pour him tea.

"Brother-in-law..." a soft voice sounded.

Xia Chunyu then looked up in astonishment and laughed, "It turned out to be you. I thought it was a snowy night! This kind of thing can be done by the servants."

Jin Yao smiled and said, "It is my duty to serve my brother-in-law. My sister and brother-in-law are so kind to me."

Xia Chunyu said, "You've worked hard recently. Now that you're back, take a good rest!" He said nothing more and continued reading. After waiting for a while, he felt something strange when he saw that she didn't leave.

"Do you have anything else to do?" Xia Chunyu asked.

Jin Yao hesitated, gritted her teeth, took out a sachet from her sleeve pocket, and said carefully: "I made this specially for my brother-in-law, I hope my brother-in-law doesn't dislike it."

Xia Chunyu looked at the sachet. It was made of green satin and embroidered with a lotus pattern. The embroidery was exquisite and the sachet was also exquisitely made. However, giving him a sachet for no reason...it didn't seem right no matter how he thought about it.

"Does your sister have one?"

Xia Chunyu didn't answer and asked.

Jin Yao said shyly: "My sister's is still being embroidered, so I made one for my brother-in-law first."

Xia Chunyu smiled faintly: "Then wait until you finish embroidering it, and then send it to you together!"

Jin Yao bit her teeth lightly: "Isn't that different?"

Of course it's different. If she made two copies and gave them to Yaoyao, although he wouldn't wear them, he would accept them. But if she gave it to him alone, he would definitely not accept it.

It’s not that I’m afraid that Yaoyao will think too much, it’s that I’m afraid that Jinyao will think too much.

Jin Yao showed a disappointed look and said rather complainingly: "Brother-in-law, do you think Yaoyao's embroidery is not good enough?"

Xia Chunyu smiled faintly: "Wouldn't it be more thoughtful if we sent them together?"

Not wanting to continue this topic with her, Xia Chunyu said, "If you have nothing else to do, I'm going to read a book."

The obvious order to leave made the disappointment in Jin Yao's eyes turn into embarrassment. After hesitating for a moment, she left sadly.

My brother-in-law only has my eldest sister in his eyes. Is my eldest sister so good?
Xia Chunyu breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that he was overthinking it, otherwise it would really be a trouble!
