Chapter 211: 211 was caught eavesdropping Chapter 211: 211 was caught eavesdropping “The Clan Leader thinks the same, the issue with the Li family has involved traffickers; it’s no longer just a matter for our Ye Family alone,” Old Man Ye sighed helplessly, “It’s just that our family’s reputation is likely to be ruined by this lowlife.”

“It’s not too late to regret now, a shameless thing who dares to crawl into a man’s bed isn’t worth anything good. Sending her to see an official is also good, saves her from causing harm to others.” Unlike Old Man Ye, He Shi somewhat reveled in the misfortune.

“Ah…” Old Man Ye sighed and knew in his heart that he had wronged He Shi in his lifetime and did not blame her ignorance.

At the doorway, Ye Erya, who was eavesdropping, covered her mouth in shock with tears in her eyes, and took a couple of steps back, wanting to hurry away.

“What are you doing?” Ye Qinghua, who had also been standing at the door for a long time, saw Ye Erya’s actions and spoke up.

“Ah…” Ye Erya hadn’t expected to be discovered and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Right then, the door of the main room was opened, and Ye Jiu came out, looking at the scene outside and asked, “What’s going on?”

Ye Jiu clearly looked at Ye Qinghua who promptly replied, “I’ve been watching here for quite a while, Aunt. She was kneeling at the doorway eavesdropping on your conversation.”

Ye Qinghua pointed her finger at Ye Erya.

At this time, no one had gone to sleep, and everyone in the house was disturbed.

Ye Erya, helpless, looked around at everyone and explained, “I… I didn’t, I just came to beg father for mercy, my mother’s body is unwell, she really can’t endure grinding flour every day.”

“You still dare to lie? I clearly saw you standing here for a long time, secretly kneeling at the door crack; if you were not eavesdropping, what were you doing?” Ye Qinghua immediately questioned.

“I really didn’t, Qinghua, don’t wrongly accuse me, I really just came to beg father for mercy only.” Ye Erya’s tears fell continuously, and her trembling body seemed pitiful.

Unfortunately, due to differing stances, no one in the courtyard sympathized with her.

Because had the situation been reversed today, with Ye Erya and the Li family in power, those as descendants of He Shi would likewise not have fared well.

This was also the reason why Ye Qinghua disliked Ye Erya the most.

“Dad indeed, you call so affectionately, but your own father has admitted it, you are just a bastard, not grandfather’s good daughter.” Ye Qinghua retorted sharply.

“Qinghua,” Mrs. Zhang immediately disapproved sharply.

Mrs. Zhang’s voice was stern, and Ye Qinghua trembled from fear before slowly lowering her head, yet she still felt aggrieved inside, “I didn’t say anything wrong.”

Mrs. Zhang sighed helplessly.

Her daughter was really not like her; she fully resembled her grandmother He Shi’s fiery temper, yet lacked He Shi’s shrewdness.

If it continued like this, she might suffer greatly in the future!

For instance, that moment, Ye Qinghua’s remarks immediately darkened Old Man Ye’s face, yet He Shi was almost delighted enough to laugh aloud.

Deservedly so, He Shi did not forget, when she had married Old Man Ye, aside from having nowhere else to go, she also harbored thoughts of revenge against these two people.

But later, after having a son, she had to consider her son, thus the targets of her vengeance from two people had narrowed down to just the Li family.

And indeed, she had achieved her goal.

The Li family, who had meticulously planned the marriage to Ye Cheng, ended up ruining her. The situation, as it turned out today, was something she could not have anticipated back then!

“Alright, alright, making a commotion in the middle of the night, disrupting everyone’s peace–everyone go back to sleep,” Old Man Ye said sternly as he sent them away.

Everyone dispersed.

Back in the house, Mrs. Zhang with a stern face asked Ye Qinghua, “Qinghua, do you realize your mistake?”
