After the arranged marriage, I pampered the sickly regent.

Chapter 108 Accident

"Ye Qingzhu, you damned wife!"

Seeing this, Wang cried out in anguish. The porcelain she had worked so hard to buy had been smashed to pieces by Ye Qingzhu.

Enraged, Wang raised her hand and slapped Ye Qingzhu across the face. Caught off guard, Ye Qingzhu was knocked back several steps by the slap.

"You unfilial daughter-in-law, today I, as your mother-in-law, will definitely teach you a lesson!"

Wang rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush towards Ye Qingzhu.

Ye Qingzhu couldn't stand it, and the two immediately started fighting.

Chun'er tried to break up the fight, but was pushed aside. She panicked for a moment and wondered what to do.

If the two of them fight, neither of them will be happy if they get hurt, especially since the second young lady is known for being vengeful.

"What happened again?"

Jiang Wenjin dragged his tired body back, and after walking a few steps, he heard arguing not far away. Even if he didn't know what had happened, he knew that Ye Qingzhu and his mother must have been arguing.

Ever since Ye Qingzhu learned of his mother's existence, this kind of thing has never stopped, which is really annoying to him.

However, he still needed the power of the Duke's Mansion behind Ye Qingzhu. If Ye Qingzhu were just an ordinary person, he would definitely divorce this shrew based on the current situation.

"Young master, you should quickly try to persuade the second young lady and the old lady."

Chun'er saw Jiang Wenjin return and quickly reminded him.

Just as Jiang Wenjin was about to step forward, he saw Ye Qingzhu, who had the upper hand, raise her hand and strike towards Wang Shi.

"Mother!"

Jiang Wenjin's eyes widened, never expecting what was happening before his eyes.

This Ye Qingzhu actually dared to hit his mother, and right in front of him.

"Ouch."

Wang fell to the ground, in excruciating pain. When she saw Jiang Wenjin, she angrily said, "You unfilial son, you see your mother being bullied and you don't even know how to help."

Jiang Wen rushed forward anxiously and helped the person up, then looked at Ye Qingzhu with a gloomy gaze.

"Ye Qingzhu, apologize to my mother."

Jiang Wenjin spoke in a harsh tone, his gaze fixed on Ye Qingzhu. If he weren't still supporting Wang Shi, it would seem as if he were about to attack at any moment.

Ye Qingzhu felt a little guilty under Jiang Wenjin's gaze, but she remembered that she had bought everything in the house.

He instantly felt emboldened, raised his head, and said with a disdainful look, "Why should I apologize? If anyone should apologize, it should be your mother."

"Jiang Wenjin, you'd better get this straight. This is your mother, not mine. Don't expect me to be as filial to her as I am to others."

After saying all this, Ye Qingzhu probably felt guilty and didn't dare to stay any longer, so she left the house directly.

"Wenjin, you see? When you brought me here, you promised me a good life, but what's going on now?"

“If word gets out that you, a grown man, are being bullied like this by your wife, you’ll be laughed at to death.”

Wang complained to Jiang Wenjin incessantly.

Jiang Wenjin lowered his head, feeling extremely guilty about what Wang had said.

“Mother, your words are wise. When I take the imperial examination this time and achieve a good result, I will definitely not let such a thing happen again.”

Jiang Wen clenched his fists and said resentfully, but now, although he was a scholar, he could not compete with the Duke's Mansion behind Ye Qingzhu.

No matter how outrageous the other party's behavior is, he has to endure it.

After leaving the house, Ye Qingzhu went directly to the Duke's Mansion.

Chun'er followed Ye Qingzhu, still feeling a bit frightened by what had just happened.

"Second Miss, wasn't it a bit inappropriate of you to treat your son-in-law's mother like that just now?"

Ye Qingzhu was already angry, and when she heard that the maid beside her dared to speak up for Jiang Wenjin and Wang Shi, she immediately scolded her.

"What's wrong with that!"

"Chun'er, you need to understand that my mother sent you here not to be a mediator."

"This Jiang Wenjin and his mother, ever since they moved into this house, everything they eat and use is mine, and now they dare to act arrogantly towards me," Ye Qingzhu said angrily.

You have to understand that Jiang Wenjin hasn't even become the Grand Secretary yet, and he already dares to act like this. If he does become the Grand Secretary, then she'll have to consider Jiang Wenjin's feelings in everything she does.

She couldn't accept the thought that such a thing could happen.

"Qingzhu, why are you back?"

Su Shi, who was strolling around the mansion, heard Ye Qingzhu's voice and walked over.

"Mother, you have no idea how despicable Jiang Wenjin and his mother are!"

Upon seeing Madam Su, Ye Qingzhu rushed over and began to act coquettishly towards her.

Seeing Ye Qingzhu like this, Madam Su sighed. Knowing her daughter's temperament well, she knew without a doubt what had happened.

As the two were talking, the butler and his men hurriedly passed by.

Ye Qingzhu looked in that direction and asked curiously, "Mother, why did the steward bring a doctor to the manor? Could it be that something happened?"

“At Father’s…”

Su shook her head, interrupting Ye Qingzhu's subsequent guesses, and explained to her, "It's from Ye Yuanfeng's place."

"Him?" Ye Qingzhu was even more puzzled. She continued Su Shi's words, "But I heard that Ye Yuanfeng has been confined by Father recently. Why did you suddenly call a doctor?"

"Just yesterday, for some reason, someone from Ye Yuanfeng's courtyard came to report that Ye Yuanfeng was suffering from severe abdominal pain and eventually fainted."

"We've seen several doctors since yesterday, but none of them have been able to diagnose what's wrong with me."

"If they can't diagnose it, does that mean you went to some unclean place?"

Ye Qingzhu inexplicably thought of the black aura from that time and asked Su Shi this question.

"Unclean...?"

These words clearly stumped Su Shi. After thinking for a moment, she said to Ye Qingzhu, "If that's the case, I have indeed thought of something."

"Gambling house."

"I heard that that brat Ye Qingwu also went to that place."

Ye Qingzhu instantly found the key point, "Mother, it must be Ye Qingwu who is interfering here."

She couldn't find an opportunity to deal with that bitch Ye Qingwu.

This is a good opportunity to bring up what happened to Ye Yuanfeng.

"Mother, there's no time to lose, let's hurry and tell Father about this."

The next day.

Ye Qingwu had planned to go for a walk outside the manor, but when she passed a clinic, she saw a long queue there, and some people waiting on the side were lying on the ground, looking pained.

When she got closer, she saw that all of them were clutching their stomachs in great pain, and that the people in line were all men.

"Husband, hang in there, the doctor will treat you soon."

The woman stood beside the man and said nervously.

Ye Qingwu stepped forward and asked the woman, "Auntie, what happened here? Why are they all clutching their stomachs?"
