Chapter 344 A pair of scumbag men and women
After everyone left, Ye Jiayao sat down on the embroidered cushion beside the bed and held Qiao's hand. Her hands were very cold, and her palms were damp and sweaty.
"Sister-in-law, don't think too much about anything. Just calm down. I will take your anger away, but the premise is that you have to give birth to the child. Then we can vent our anger and hatred. If you are gone and the child is gone, it will be a bargain for that bitch Cui Yan. Do you understand?"
Qiao's tearful eyes were filled with hatred, and she said in a low voice, "Second brother's wife, I can't forgive that pair of bitches."
"Yes, I absolutely won't forgive them. So, cheer up and be fine. Don't worry, I will help you, Chunfeng will also help you. Even if mother comes back, she won't forgive them. You know, I am a man of my word." Ye Jiayao promised solemnly.
Qiao held Ye Jiayao's hand tightly. Her previous sadness, sorrow and heartache turned into hatred and determination after getting Ye Jiayao's promise. It was a hatred so strong that it could not be dissolved. She did not want to die. She wanted to live and make that bitch suffer a fate worse than death.
"This is your second baby. The doctor said that as long as you cooperate, there will be no problem. So, you must listen to the doctor and the midwife later. I have sent someone to invite the imperial physician. After we get through this hurdle, we can settle the final accounts." Ye Jiayao said.
Qiao felt much more at ease, no longer feeling confused and helpless as before. She pursed her lips and nodded vigorously.
Seeing that Mrs. Qiao's fighting spirit was aroused, Ye Jiayao breathed a sigh of relief. Giving birth is a difficult process, and the condition her sister-in-law was in just now is very dangerous.
Soon, the midwife came, followed by the imperial physician.
With the imperial physician in charge and the midwife cooperating, Ye Jiayao sent out all the irrelevant people, leaving only Fang Mama and Lin Kun's family to help out. Others boiled water, stewed soup, and those who had nothing to do for the time being stayed outside on standby.
Ye Jiayao finally made time to walk out, and seeing Chunfeng and the scumbag still standing in the wind, she said to Chunfeng, "Is your errand going to be okay?"
Chunfeng thought for a moment and said, "I'll go back to the palace first and come back to take your place later. There has to be someone in our family over there, and we can't be without people here."
Chunfeng knew that Ye Jiayao was also responsible for the meals of the emperor and empress, so he made time to make dinner for Ye Jiayao.
Ye Jiayao agreed with this and it was the only possible arrangement.
"Then you go first!"
Chunfeng glanced at the green cotton curtain in the main room with concern, and solemnly warned his elder brother: "Don't cause any more trouble, otherwise you won't be able to explain to father and mother when they come back."
Chunli nodded hurriedly. He was also scared. He didn't expect that Mrs. Qiao would have a miscarriage and give birth so early. He knew very well that if anything happened to Mrs. Qiao and the child, his good days would be over.
After Chunfeng left, Chunli looked at Ye Jiayao timidly and said hesitantly, "Second sister-in-law, um... Cuiyan, can you let her go first? After all, she's pregnant."
Ye Jiayao's sharp gaze pierced Chunli. Even at this time, Chunli was still thinking about that bitch. He couldn't help but sneered, "Why? Are you heartbroken? Or do you think that if something happens to the one inside, at least the bitch has another baby in her belly?"
Chunli was hit on the point, his face turned red, and he argued guiltily: "No, it's not like that... I, why would I think so!"
Ye Jiayao's voice became colder and colder, and she gave off a chilling chill from head to toe. "You are the only one in Jinling City who caused such a scene during a national mourning period. Don't you know how many eyes are staring at the Marquis of Jing'an's Mansion? They are just waiting to catch us doing something wrong. You don't know what's going on in your head, so don't let the entire mansion get buried with you."
"Don't think of any evil ideas. You'd better pray to God to keep Qiao and the child safe. Otherwise, you will be kicked out of the house, and that bitch and the child in her belly will never see the sun tomorrow."
Chunli looked at Ye Jiayao in horror. What did that mean? Are you going to kill someone more?
Ye Jiayao took a step closer, her eyes cold, "Don't think I don't know what that bitch is up to. She just wants to take advantage of the national mourning period, while my father and mother are not around, to make a scene and force the Marquis' Mansion to commit a crime... Do you think Cui Yan really likes you and is doing this for your own good? If she really respected you, loved you and valued you, would she disregard your reputation? She is trying to trick you to death, and you are still confused..."
Chunli was stunned, as if a crack appeared somewhere in his heart, something began to waver and disintegrate. Cuiyan kept saying that she loved him and was willing to live and die for him...but she really chose the most inappropriate method, which made him feel torn.
Ye Jiayao continued, "If it weren't for the sake of protecting the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion, I wouldn't bother with your shit. No matter who it is, if they want to tarnish our reputation, I will punish them severely. That bitch, your plan is wrong."
The last few words almost popped out from between Ye Jiayao's teeth, revealing a murderous chill, like a heavy hammer hitting Chunli's heart.
Chunli was frightened by her overwhelming aura, his legs and feet became weak, and he dared not speak anymore.
Ye Jiayao was too lazy to look at the scumbag again. She felt that looking at him any more would pollute her eyes. She threw her sleeves and walked straight out of the yard. Butler Zhong was waiting outside the second gate. When he saw the second young lady coming out, he took her to the woodshed without saying anything.
There were two servants guarding the door. When they saw Butler Zhong and the Second Young Madam coming, they unlocked the door.
Ye Jiayao walked in.
Sitting on the ground was a woman tied up with hands and feet, her hair disheveled, her eyes filled with hatred, and her lips painted with bright red rouge, making her look more and more like a female ghost.
Is this the Cui Yan that has fascinated Chun Li?
Haha, Ye Jiayao couldn't help but despise Chunli's vision. In terms of status, Qiao was at least the daughter of a big family, while Cuiyan was just a girl who couldn't read a single word. In terms of appearance, Qiao was far better than Cuiyan. What did Chunli like about Cuiyan? Did he like her charm or her gentleness?
In the final analysis, the scumbag is a cheap man, and the bitch is even more cheap, thinking about climbing into the master's bed all day long, relying on such low-brow means to climb up the social ladder. She has no sympathy for such a self-degrading and self-righteous woman, and there is no need to do so.
Cui Yan also stared at the Second Young Lady with hatred. She hated this woman so much. If it weren't for this woman, she wouldn't have been driven out by the Madam with an excuse. Maybe she would have become a concubine now.
"Why did you tie me up? Why did you lock me up? Let me go now. I'm pregnant with the young master's child. If anything happens to me, can you bear the consequences?" Cui Yan muttered in a very imposing manner.
Butler Zhong scolded, "How dare you yell at the Second Young Madam?"
Ye Jiayao raised her hand to stop Butler Zhong: "You guys go out first."
Butler Zhong glared at Cui Yan and whispered, "Second Young Madam, be careful, she is a lunatic."
Ye Jiayao sneered. Shrews and shrews had no market in her place. Going crazy and throwing tantrums was actually a sign of weakness. They used a strong appearance to cover up their inner weakness. Didn't Cui Yan rely on the child in her belly? Humph! Unfortunately, in her eyes, this child was nothing at all.
Butler Zhong gave a wink to the two servants, and the three of them retreated. Qiao Xi also took two steps away and stood on the left side of the Second Young Madam and Cui Yan, staring at Cui Yan. If Cui Yan dared to be rude to the Second Young Madam, she would rush up to her immediately.
Ye Jiayao sneered disdainfully: "Is it great to be pregnant with the eldest young master's child? You treat the child as a treasure, but in my eyes it is just a piece of grass. Do you think that the Marquis' Mansion will recognize it because it is the eldest young master's flesh and blood? Cuiyan, you are too naive. Do you know what the child in your belly is called? Bastard, his existence can only prove that you are a lowly woman."
Cui Yan was stunned for a moment, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she became firm again. She thought that the Second Young Madam was bluffing her and said that on purpose. Everyone knew that the Madam was going crazy wanting to have a grandson.
"You are not qualified to say this to me. Let my wife do it." Cui Yan did not change her strong attitude.
Ye Jiayao was about to laugh. Who the hell do you think you are, asking the Madam to come? You think you can use a chicken feather as a token of authority.
"Madam? Cui Yan, you should be glad that Madam is not here right now, otherwise, she would have given you a bowl of abortion medicine. How could you allow yourself to be so arrogant?" Ye Jiayao's eyes dimmed and were filled with murderous intent.
"Now the eldest young lady is so angry at you that she has a miscarriage. You know, if there is any problem between the eldest young lady and the child in her belly, you can't afford to pay for it even if you have a hundred lives. Don't act so arrogantly in front of me. You are not qualified to do so. Don't expect the eldest young master to come to save you. He can't save himself now... It's all your fault for being too smart and too anxious. If you wait until the child is born, and then let the eldest young master bring the child to the lady, and the lady likes it, maybe you still have a chance. But you chose this time to make trouble, and let things reach a point where they cannot be reversed. Misfortunes sent by heaven can be survived, but misfortunes brought by oneself cannot be survived."
Cui Yan stared at the Second Young Mistress in a daze, and suddenly her heart began to panic. Was she really too eager? Wasn't this the best opportunity? She didn't ask for much. It was just the status of a concubine. It wasn't a big deal. Just nod and it would be fine...
Suddenly, Cui Yan realized where she was wrong. She thought that the Marquis's Mansion would compromise in order to keep things peaceful, but she forgot that the Second Young Madam was a tough nut to crack. The Madam might still care about this bloodline, but this bloodline had nothing to do with the Second Young Madam, so the Second Young Madam would naturally not take it seriously.
After Ye Jiayao finished speaking, she turned and left, and Qiao Xi quickly followed.
After leaving the door, Ye Jiayao ordered Butler Zhong: "Guard them strictly. No one is allowed to approach without my order, let alone enter."
"Yes." Butler Zhong accepted the order.
"If she makes a scene or grumbles again, just shut her mouth."
Now is not the time to deal with Cuiyan. Everything should wait until Qiao has successfully overcome the difficulties in production. Cuiyan will wait for Qiao to deal with her personally.
