Who Cares

EXTRA

Chapter 194 Extra (17)
Guan Suyi hugged the little sister all day and refused to let go, patiently fed her porridge and water spoon by spoon, and nursed for half a month until she finally got better. The second great uncle’s house knew that the child was missing but didn’t send someone to look for her, so it could be seen that he didn’t care about her life and death. In this way, Zhong shi was more determined to keep the child by her side.

The old master was not a fool, and before the mother and daughter thought of an excuse, he already noticed the abnormality and took the initiative to ask. Guan Suyi concealed some of the truth, and slowly explained the whole story clearly. She thought that her grandfather would get sick from anger again, but he unexpectedly smiled open-mindedly and sighed, “It’s good to reconcile.”

Guan Suyi didn’t say anything for a while, lying on her grandfather’s knee and crying silently. In today’s world, it was difficult for reconciled women to live. If their parents refused to accept them, the only way out was to lose their hair and become nuns. She was probably the luckiest woman in Wei Kingdom, because her loved one only wished her a peaceful life and never cared about what the outside world thought.

But the Guan clan attached great importance to this, and the next day they sent someone to ask for the reason. When they entered the door, they were very aggressive, even holding sticks and ropes, as if sure Guan Suyi had violated the female precept and wanted to arrest her to sink her in the pond. Later when Zhong shi explained the reason, only then their face eased, but there was a gloating light in their eyes. They never mentioned asking for justice for Guan Suyi, only pretended to comfort her with a few words before leaving one after another. Some even suggested that Zhong shi send her daughter to the nunnery to cultivate, so as not to become a gossip fodder for others.

Reconciled daughters and widows, they were the easiest to provoke dispute.

Zhong shi was so angry that her liver hurt, but it was not good to flare up, so she just said a few perfunctory words. A few days later, Qi Yu sent a letter saying that his wife was seriously ill and had been sent to her hometown to recuperate. At the same time, Ye yiniang of Marquis Mansion also contracted an acute disease due to postpartum weakness and died suddenly in the middle of the night, and was buried in a hurry early the next morning.

Although these news were spread for a while, they did not have the novelty of Marquis Zhenbei’s ex-wife returning from the dead. Walking on the street, almost everyone were talking about this matter, some lamenting that Madam Ye escaped from the calamity, some regretting that Madam Guan did not have the same luck. Seeing that she had just received the first-rank title, but was thrown out of the house in a blink of an eye, it was also a bitter fate.

When Ye Jieyu heard that her sister had returned safely, she immediately summoned her to the palace to meet her, and begged the emperor to move the first-rank title to her head. The emperor was furious for this, bluntly said that the wife one married when one was poor should not be discarded in one’s affluence, and that Madam Guan did not do anything wrong, but she was divorced for no reason, which really chilled people’s heart. Therefore, an edict was issued, ordering Marquis Zhenbei to never ask to seal a title for his wife. Madam Guan’s official title was personally sealed by his imperial brush, but in a blink of an eye she was thrown away by Marquis Zhenbei. This was a contempt for the imperial power.

As soon as his decree was sent, the empress also issued a decree to rebuke Ye Jieyu and Ye Zhen, saying that the Ye family was bullying others, their morals were corrupted, and they needed to reflect behind closed doors.

Ye Zhen originally thought that she would have several peaceful days when she returned to Marquis Zhenbei Mansion, but unexpectedly the blows from the palace hit her over and over again, and it had a tendency to make her unable to turn things around for the rest of her life. Seeing “Ye Jieyu” who looked exactly like herself sitting in the main seat, her mind was completely blank, and she began to doubt whether she really existed.
