Chapter 263: 263 Moved to the main house Chapter 263: 263 Moved to the main house Madam He snorted coldly, “Get out of here quickly and grow some brains when you have nothing else to do, and don’t fail to recognize who really cares for you. Otherwise, next time, no one’s plea will save you.”

This Zhao family, if used well, is a fine weapon, and to this He Shi was quite satisfied. Otherwise, if they were all as shrewd yet dutiful as the Zhang family, she wouldn’t be able to use them at all.

Unfortunately, it was just that sometimes her mind malfunctioned. Moreover, it was the Zhao Family’s upbringing that had crippled her. If she could restrain her attachment to her maternal family and sincerely live her life with the second son, nobody would seek trouble or look down on her without cause.

Before leaving, Zhao Shi ingratiatingly asked He Shi, “Mother, these past few days I’ve heard about a household; their son is lame and wants to buy a wife to take care of him. What do you think? Should we send someone from our family or have someone come over to take her?”

“Handle it yourself, just make sure that girl can’t turn the tables; don’t bother me with the rest,” Madam He said.

“Ah, your daughter-in-law understands and will handle it right away. I promise, by tomorrow, you won’t see that girl’s shadow,” Zhao Shi excitedly promised.

As Zhao Shi walked to the door, Madam He suddenly remembered and instructed, “Zhao Shi, I don’t care what methods you think of, but before the matter is settled, do not let the old man or the eldest and second son know about it, and do not allow Wenqing and Wenyu to interfere.”

Ye Cheng was a weak and incompetent man, yet he was oddly sentimental. Even though Ye Erya was not his biological daughter, who knew whether he would be moved by compassion!

Plus, the eldest and the second son had always treated Lady Li like a mother in the past.

As for the younger generation in the house, they are all still children.

Madam He believed that even if she couldn’t cherish them as much as she cherished Ye Jiu, since they called her grandmother, Madam He did not want them to witness such filth unless absolutely necessary.

Even she herself could hardly believe it–if she were still the inexperienced woman she had been–that she would one day commit such a vicious act against a mere girl.

But, the world is not filled with just good intentions. If she didn’t act against her today, there was no guarantee that she wouldn’t turn against her family someday.

Madam He could not afford to take that risk and had absolutely no desire to gamble on it.

When Zhao Shi returned, Ye Qingzhi feared she had made a mistake and worried Zhao Shi would blame her, so she stood at the door, afraid to enter.

As Zhao Shi passed by Ye Qingzhi, Ye Qingzhi’s body visibly shuddered.

Then, Zhao Shi looked at her with scorn, “Get your clothes together later and move to the main house to serve your grandmother.”

Actually, moving this worthless girl away was ideal. Being an unimportant girl, moving to the main house would just keep her out of sight.

Upon hearing Zhao Shi’s words, Ye Qingzhi’s eyes widened in disbelief, and she mustered the courage to ask, “Can I…really go?”

Zhao Shi did not even glance at her before turning around and entering the house.

Ye Qingzhi followed her in, then took out her only two pieces of clothing, full of patches, from the chest beside the kang. She pondered heavily for a moment, then reached for the piece of cloth Madam He had given her a few days ago.

With a slap, the back of her hand was struck, and when Ye Qingzhi instinctively clenched it, it pulled at the wound in her palm, causing her to inhale sharply from the pain.

“Zhao Shi!” Ye Gaoshui had long known Zhao Shi’s attitude toward Ye Qingzhi was not right, but he had never taken it seriously, and Zhao Shi had never hit Ye Qingzhi in his presence before.

This time, although Zhao Shi had only slapped the child once, with Ye Jiu’s prior words, Ye Gaoshui had to take it to heart.
