The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2677: Chapter 8: Thought You Never Miss

"Big brother, second brother..." Ye Rongqing’s face contorted in frustration in the study. "Mother wants to kick Xiao Yu out. Do you have any way to let her stay?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Haoyang threw a pen over, "What did you say? Didn’t get beaten up enough?"

Ye Rongqing immediately covered his face upon hearing this, "Second brother, I’m a man, and I have to take responsibility for my actions. I touched the girl—I can’t just leave it at that. If Mother really kicks her out, given the situation of her family, she won’t have a good outcome. That would make me feel guilty."

For a woman, losing her reputation is a lifelong issue; it could ruin a girl’s life.

Even if she’s just a maid, he cannot demean her.

"Rubbish!" Ye Haoxuan slammed his hand on the table, "It’s Mother who wants to kick her out; where are you putting her in this situation with your words?"

"Big brother..." Ye Rongqing held his head in frustration, "Then what do you suggest we do?"

"Let me ask you, how do you know about her family’s situation?"

Ye Haoxuan thought, after all the investigation Mother did, she never mentioned anything to Qingqing.

"I saw Xiao Yu when I went to pay my respects to Mother this morning."

"Ha, I see!" Ye Haoxuan sneered dismissively, "She probably heard that Mother insists on sending her out of the manor and is trying to gain your sympathy."

Ye Haoyang asked, "You didn’t already agree to let her stay, did you?"

Seeing the expression on second brother’s face, like he was ready to devour someone, Ye Rongqing shrunk back his neck but still nodded slightly, "Um, no, I mean, I’m trying to get Mother’s approval to let her stay."

"You..." Ye Haoyang was almost maddened by him.

"Second brother, I know I’m stupid, not as smart as you all; this is my fault, and I didn’t handle it well; I’ve brought shame upon our family."

Listening to his submissive tone, Ye Haoyang didn’t know what to say.

Ye Haoxuan sighed, patted him, "I’ll go talk to Mother, let her find someone who wouldn’t mind this matter for Xiao Yu, and offer them some more silver."

Ye Haoxuan rubbed his brow and continued, "Although Mother hasn’t figured out the details of this matter, nor does she know how you muddled into a situation with her, in my judgment, it’s mostly her own doing. Since she did it herself, she should’ve anticipated the consequences."

Ye Haoyang nodded in agreement, "I agree with big brother; she can’t be your legal wife, and our family cannot take her as a concubine. Sending her away is the best way." Ye Haoyang thought, over these years, the third brother had become increasingly simple-minded with the protection of their siblings; the means of that Xiao Yu are plenty, and such a person can’t stay beside the third brother, otherwise, good people could be led astray.

"But, but what if she has a child?" Ye Rongqing said.

Ye Haoxuan exchanged a glance with his brother, both seeing each other’s helplessness—how could this third brother be so soft-hearted and indecisive?

Whose personality does he resemble?

Ye Haoyang rudely said, "You really think highly of yourself, as if you’re so infallible?"

"Second brother!" Ye Rongqing yelled, "Your brother is feeling bad right now, can you stop hitting me?"

"You deserve it!"

At this moment, in the Shuangwuyuan courtyard, Xiao Yu was smugly crossing her legs.

The third master had already promised her in the morning, saying he’d let her stay.

Hmph, as long as she stays, none of these snobbish people will have it easy.
