The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2674: Chapter 5: Qingqing Side Story

"Madam, what should be done now?"

Yang Chuxia closed her eyes briefly again, "Find a doctor to examine her, don’t let her truly die in the mansion. We’ve just celebrated a wedding, and now a death would be utterly unlucky."

"Then gather all the maids and women from the guest courtyard here. I need to thoroughly question what happened last night. Afterwards, check the sales contract of this maid. Since good words haven’t worked, let the truth speak."

Initially, she thought that this wasn’t a decent matter, so she didn’t want to make a big fuss about it, planning to send the person away directly, to avoid embarrassment.

But now, seeing this maid’s actions and words, it’s obvious she isn’t a simple one. She is now even more certain that the maid likely climbed onto her son’s bed on her own accord. Hmph, does she think that climbing into bed will make her the master? Dream on.

"Call Qingqing in as well."

After Ming Lan left, very soon the three men entered the room.

"Kneel down for me!"

Ye Rongqing dared not speak and obediently knelt down, his face was bruised from being hit by Ye Haoyang.

However, without waiting for Yang Chuxia to speak, he said, "Mother, I roughly recall wanting to go back to the courtyard to sleep last night. Later on, I don’t know how I ended up in the guest courtyard. But I do remember there being a girl, originally I thought it was a dream. Mother, if worst comes to worst, I’ll marry her."

His voice grew softer towards the end. Truth be told, he was quite conflicted. He had been drunk before without any incidents. Normally, he would sleep like a log when drunk, but this time was different—truly baffling.

"At least you have some integrity, knowing to take responsibility!" Yang Chuxia sneered coldly, "Unfortunately, this type of woman is not fit to stay in the Ye Family."

"Mother... a man should face his mistakes, I’ll accept my wrongdoing."

"No way!" Ye Haoxuan was the first to oppose, "Marrying a servant—do you want our entire family to bow our heads in shame?"

Yang Chuxia nodded, "Your elder brother is right, this matter isn’t up to you."

Ye Rongqing scratched his head, quite conflicted, thinking what should be done now?

Soon Ming Lan returned, "Madam, Xiaoyu signed a live contract."

"I thought so, if it was a death contract, she wouldn’t have dared to do this."

Signing a live contract meant that even if she committed misdeeds, the master’s family couldn’t take her life, unlike a death contract.

"You all go about your business, I’m going to interrogate now." With that, Yang Chuxia pointed at Ye Rongqing, "Leave this boy to you three, make sure to discipline him well."

Then she looked at his face and said to Yangyang, "Hit lightly, not the face, strike in places that don’t cause harm, punish him hard so he remembers, so he won’t dare get drunk again."

Ye Haoyang nodded, "I’ll deal with him later."

Ye Rongqing followed behind woefully, hitting his head in frustration, regretting what he had done.

"Are all the people here?"

"They’re here."

Yang Chuxia nodded, "Bring them all up."

Soon, two stewardesses from the guest courtyard, two errand boys, three cleaning maids, and two serving maids came in.

"Did you know Third Master rested in the guest courtyard last night?"

Both stewardesses lowered their heads, "Madam, we only just learned."

"Very well!" Yang Chuxia was furious, "You’re in charge of the guest courtyard, yet you only know now who stayed there? What use are you? Ming Lan, these two don’t need to stay, send them out of the mansion immediately."
