Chapter 2684: Chapter 15: She Came to Demand Justice
"Of course, I didn’t have time to come."
Qi Yunqiao said with a smile, "But I heard that something big happened in your residence, so I had to join in the fun. By the way, I’ve come to settle a score with my Cousin Qingqing."
Hmph, she’s here to confront us!
Hearing this, Ye Haoxuan ran the words through his mind a few times. Seeing her look at Ye Rongqing with a half-smile, he became intrigued.
"Settle a score with Qingqing?"
Yang Chuxia was baffled by her words, "What trouble has Qingqing caused again?"
"Cousin, you can’t accuse me unjustly!"
Ye Rongqing became anxious, wondering if he was struck with bad luck lately with problems piling up one after another.
"Hmph, would I come without actual evidence?"
Qi Yunqiao snorted coldly, turning her head as if only now noticing Xiao Yu’s family, "And who are these people? Could it be they’re also here to settle a score with Cousin Qingqing? When I came into the residence, I heard something about the concubine’s family from the third master’s household. How strange, since when did Cousin Qingqing take a concubine, and why don’t I know about it?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yu’s eldest aunt’s smile deepened, feeling that Qi Yunqiao had the same purpose as them, and said, "The lady is correct, we’re here looking for Master Ye San. This Prince An’s Mansion is too much, Master Ye San is too much, taking my niece’s virginity and refusing to acknowledge it, even driving us away, really despicable."
"Impudent!"
Before Qi Yunqiao could speak, the maid beside her stepped forward and pointed at Xiao Yu’s eldest aunt, cursing, "Who do you think you are? How dare you not make obeisance before our princess? And you dare to insult our princess’s cousin? Who granted you the audacity of a dog? Come, slap her mouth!"
"Ah..."
Xiao Yu’s eldest aunt was dumbfounded, the situation changed too rapidly, and her mind couldn’t keep up.
She was slapped several times by the approaching old maid.
Having already suspected Qi Yunqiao’s purpose, Ye Haoxuan was now even more certain, seeing her actions.
"Yunqiao, if you have something to say, just say it. Why bother with them? They don’t understand the royal etiquette and rules!"
"Hmph, then let me speak!"
Qi Yunqiao then asked, "Where is your new Xiao Yu concubine? Bring her to me!"
Hearing this, Ye Haoxuan’s eyes lit up, and he quickly waved his hand, "Hurry, bring Xiao Yu here for the princess!"
Then he turned and asked, "Yunqiao, Xiao Yu is not yet your Cousin Qingqing’s concubine!"
"Oh, really?"
Qi Yunqiao clearly didn’t believe him, snorting coldly, "Even the concubine’s family has come to the door, and you say she’s not? Who are you trying to fool? It’s spread everywhere outside!"
At this moment, Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an exchanged a glance, wondering what was going on with Yunqiao.
Before long, Xiao Yu was brought in.
Not bothering to greet the people present, she rushed directly towards Ye Rongqing, "Save me, Master Ye San!"
"My family won’t accept me, and if the residence won’t either, I have no choice but death."
"It’s not my fault, Master Ye San! I didn’t want this, please save me!"
Xiao Yu knew Ye Rongqing was soft-hearted, so she chose the easiest target.
Her family weeping in this manner was, of course, taught by her, to show weakness before Ye Rongqing, making him compassionate and guilty, thus forcing him to keep her.
She had also arranged for her family to spread the word outside, pressuring Ye Residence with public opinion, and with Ye Rongqing’s influence, securing her position in Ye Residence.
This was her plan.
