"We are talking about ours, what does it matter to you? Who are you?"
One of the tall and thick-set men reacted, stood up, stared at the woman in displeasure, and said angrily.
"Who am I? I am Ye Qingran's mother!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone watching the excitement was stunned.
Ye Qingran’s mother?
Isn’t Ye Qingran’s mother General Dingyuan?
General Dingyuan came back from the dead?
"Hey, are you General Dingyuan?" Another man at the same table said in an airy voice.
"It's full of nonsense! I'm her stepmother!"
Zhao Ya looked solemn, as if she was very dissatisfied with their behavior of speaking ill of Ye Qingran behind his back.
Ye Qingran’s stepmother?
Zhao family?
Everyone looked over with amusement in their eyes.
Do Zhao and Ye Qingran have such a good relationship?
Didn't it mean that Zhao and Ye Qingran had a bad relationship? Could there be some misunderstanding?
After being shocked, she heard Zhao Ya say firmly: "Listen carefully. Although Ye Qingran is not my biological child, she is still a member of my Ye family. I will not allow you to make irresponsible remarks behind her back!"
Zhao's eyes looked around, coldly.
"But Ye Qingran gave birth to a child out of wedlock. This is a fact. Even if you are the prime minister's wife, you can't use your power to suppress others and cover up the truth, right? If you want others to know, you have to do it yourself. Ye Qingran dares to go against the grain and do this.
Are we not allowed to talk about embarrassing and uninhibited things?"
Such righteous remarks came from the crowd. After listening to them, everyone couldn't help but feel that they made sense.
The expression on Zhao's face was a bit unbearable.
"Those are all rumors!" Zhao defended.
"Rumors? Madam Ye, we have all seen Ye Qingran's children with our own eyes. If the daughter of an ordinary family is not his own, who will take the child with him? You know whether Ye Qingran really gave birth to a child out of wedlock.
But let’s get over it!”
Mrs. Zhao seemed to collapse suddenly, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"Even so, Qing Ran has his reasons!"
Everyone smiled knowingly.
Zhao, is this admission?
"Mrs. Ye, may I ask what is Ye Qingran's reason?"
"That's enough for you, don't bully others too much!" Zhao said through gritted teeth.
"She is pitiful enough with two children. Do you know how much she has endured in the past few years? This has not happened to you, so why do you scold her?"
Two children?
Everyone found it more and more interesting.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qingran not only gave birth to a child out of wedlock, but also gave birth to two!
Everyone was whispering to each other and discussing. When Zhao saw this, a flash of light quickly flashed in his eyes, and it disappeared in an instant. The sad and sad expression on his face was still there, which made people feel pity.
"I didn't expect that Zhao, the stepmother, would be so kind to Ye Qingran and would stand up for her at all costs?"
"This kind of mind is admirable, but Ye Qingran really can't hold up the wall. Even if she doesn't have spiritual roots and can't practice, her identity as the daughter of General Dingyuan is here. As long as she fulfills her duties,
Why worry about not being able to marry into a good family in the future? If you choose to have sex with others, you will lose your reputation in vain!"
"I feel that the Zhao family is not worth it. What is there to protect for a person like Ye Qingran who is so easy-going?"
…
After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao sneered in her heart.
She just wants to ruin Ye Qingran's reputation and make him suffer from eternal disaster!
"Mrs. Ye?!"
A surprised voice came from outside the restaurant.
Everyone saw a lady slowly entering the restaurant, surrounded by servants and maids.
"Mrs. Li?"
The visitor is Mrs. Li, the Minister of Rites.
"Mrs. Ye, what are you doing in this restaurant? Why are you still crying?"
"I was passing by this place and heard them slandering our family for being frivolous. I was so angry that I came to argue with them!"
Mrs. Li looked sympathetic.
"Mrs. Ye, you are so kind. Qingran is not your daughter, but you treat her as your own. It's really touching."
Mrs. Li tucks her eyes with a handkerchief and seems very moved.
Immediately, the conversation changed.
"However, I have also heard about Ye Qingran's matter. Now that the matter has come to this, it's okay if you don't admit it. Otherwise, although Ye Qingran has a bad reputation, she can't be found with her appearance and background.
man."
"Mrs. Li, how could you say that?!" Ms. Zhao jumped anxiously.
Mrs. Li was not happy to serve the old lady beside her.
"Mrs. Ye, Ye Qingran brought it upon herself. She deserves all this. Originally, she had a bad reputation five years ago, and now she has given birth to a child out of wedlock. If a man wants her, such a free-spirited person, she should
Contented!"
Zhao Ya covered her face and cried.
"Mrs. Ye, don't be too sad. Well, our master happens to have a subordinate named Wang Er who is a good character. Although he is a bit ugly and has no official position, his three wives have all passed away.
, and left no heirs, so Ye Qingran married her, which was just right."
"Mrs. Li, that prince, I know, is a pockmark, and he was born to be romantic, and his life is too strong for his wife. Aren't you doing harm to our family?"
"Mrs. Ye, don't cry. If you are not satisfied with Wang Er, we can find another one. However, with Ye Qingran's bad record, it is really difficult to find someone better than Wang Er..."
When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she cried even more miserably. The crying with her face covered at the beginning evolved into howling loudly, which was quite rebellious.
"Qingran, my poor child, why are you so miserable! You have become the mother of two children at a young age. How will you live in the future? How will I explain to your mother a hundred years later?
!My miserable child! I don’t want to live anymore!”
The entire restaurant echoed with Mrs. Zhao's mourning cries.
Some people felt that Zhao's behavior was deliberate, inconsistent and hypocritical; most people were still confused by her behavior and thought that she was a good stepmother and was really worried about Ye Qingran.
Of course, after Zhao made such a fuss, everyone became more and more convinced that Ye Qingran had indeed given birth to a child out of wedlock, and even gave birth to two children!
As for Zhao herself, she became famous in this restaurant and left a good impression on everyone in Xiliang.
In the next few days, Mrs. Zhao went to many houses to seek marriage for Ye Qingran, but none of them rejected her. For this reason, Mrs. Zhao even burst into tears in the street, portraying the image of a loving mother who was worried about her daughter to the extreme.
The name of the Zhao family spread from this, and Xiliang City called her the ‘First Stepmother’!
**
On the same day, Ye Qingran was stopped by sisters Ye Huanhuan, Ye Sisi and Zhao Yan on her way back to Ye Mansion.
Ye Sisi took a few steps forward and cursed with an unkind expression: "Ye Qingran, do you still have the nerve to go out? Our Ye family has lost all our face!"
Zhao Yan also had a look of disdain on her face and scolded: "Ye Qingran, you gave birth to a child out of wedlock, and your aunt worked hard to choose a husband for you. It's just that you don't appreciate it. It's too much to humiliate her again and again."
Bar?"
Passers-by stopped to watch.
Hearing what Ye Sisi and Zhao Yan said, they all accused Ye Qingran.
Ye Huanhuan heard everyone's complaints and couldn't help but frown, and walked towards Ye Qingran with a look of embarrassment.
"Sister, I know you must be feeling uncomfortable during this period. But no matter how dissatisfied you are, you should not vent it on your mother. Besides, we are a family, and we will tide over the difficulties together with you!"
Ye Huanhuan's words were sincere and sincere, just like a good sister.
