The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2686: Chapter 17: An Explanation Is Needed

After taking the medicine, it slowly calmed down after a while.

Ye Zi’an said disapprovingly, "How many times have I told you to hold back, and yet you still can’t control yourself."

"Do you think you could endure this?" She glanced at him and finally said, "I’ve been enduring enough already. If it were years ago, I would have beaten up this bunch of swindlers and sent them to the officials."

Originally, Qi Yunqiao came eagerly to demand an explanation, but seeing the third aunt not in good health, she seemed unable to get angry, which left her unsure of how to continue.

Ye Rongqing asked anxiously, "Dad, what’s wrong with Mom?"

"Since your mom’s last illness, her health hasn’t been as good as before," Ye Zi’an sighed and said, "But it’s nothing too serious. Uncle Mu prescribed some pills, and in a year or two, she’ll recover."

"Mom, it’s all my fault for making you worry," Ye Rongqing said, tears welling up in his eyes.

Ye Zi’an glared at him, "Knowing you’re at fault, make sure to be more cautious in the future."

"We really have Yunqiao to thank for today’s matters," Yang Chuxia spoke up. "I’ve never felt so aggrieved before in my life. However, we’re not in the right here, so any action we take feels illegitimate."

"Third aunt, please don’t thank me!" Qi Yunqiao, seeing Yang Chuxia’s semblance of normalcy, replied, "I’m here today to demand an explanation from Third Cousin."

"What?" Yang Chuxia looked at her in confusion.

At this point, Qi Yunqiao didn’t hold back and recounted the whole story.

After she finished, she glanced at Ye Rongqing with a half-smile, "Third Cousin, you’re something else, getting manipulated by a few women in your own home."

Hearing this, Ye Rongqing’s face instantly turned red, "I... I..."

Even Ye Haoxuan and his brother felt that this incident was truly embarrassing.

And the person involved was their own brother.

"Ahem, well, Yunqiao," Ye Haoxuan coughed twice and said, "This is Qingqing’s fault. I’ll bring Qingqing to apologize to Shuangshuang, and after that, we can send a matchmaker to the Mu Family to propose. If Uncle Mu agrees, we can proceed with the betrothal gifts. What do you think?"

Qi Yunqiao chuckled, "I don’t think so!"

"Yunqiao, there, is your cousin-in-law, and here is your cousin. You can’t be partial," Ye Haoxuan pleaded.

Qi Yunqiao sneered, "I’m standing on the side of reason. Why would you take him? What role do you play? A prince? Are you using your rank to oppress others? This whole matter hasn’t even been revealed to my mother-in-law and the others. I discovered Shuangshuang’s odd behavior and forced it out of her."

"According to Shuangshuang’s wishes, she doesn’t want the family to know about this. You know how conservative my aunt is; she’d be furious if she knew. But I think it’s unkind to hide it. So, third aunt, not only do you need to explain this situation, but you also have to make sure my uncle and aunt don’t get angry. Otherwise, if they scold Shuangshuang harshly, my good intentions will backfire."

This left Yang Chuxia speechless.

After dismissing Xiao Yu, now there was Mu Shuang. Luckily, everyone knew Mu Shuang, and both families were familiar, so it wasn’t hard to accept.

This was so reckless of Qingqing. Not only is this causing a stir right now, but once Xiao Yu’s family publicizes it, outsiders will surely know. If we suddenly form an alliance with the Mu Family, outsiders will definitely be suspicious.

Moreover, I’m afraid in the future, she might lose face among the two sisters-in-law.
