Chapter 51: The Great Hall Insult Battle

  "Xing Er, as a maid by the master's side, what are you making such a fuss about?" Ye Yun drank a sip of tea to moisten her throat, raised an eyebrow and stared straight at Xing Er, "Even if the sky falls, we'll still be here to hold it up. What are you panicking about?"

  Xing'er was so frightened that she quickly hid her tense and fearful appearance, lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Yes! I know I'm wrong."

  Because she didn't trust Xing Er, Ye Yun basically didn't let her follow by her side and only called for her when there was something to do.

  "Go on. What is it?"

  "Speaking of Mrs. Wang, she has arrived and is now quarreling with Old Madame in the main hall."

  Aunt Wang had not appeared again since she was splashed with mouthwash by Ye Yun last time.

  It's been calm for just a few days, what wind is blowing today?

  "What are they quarreling about?"

  "It's about Miss's affair. Madame Wang stood up for Miss, but Old Madame accused her of meddling in other people's business. Madame Wang and Old Madame were originally not on good terms and often quarreled with each other. Now they are arguing even more fiercely, and the servants are all afraid and hiding. So they came to ask Young Madame to think of a solution."

  Ye Yun supported her head with one hand, "Ah, ah, it's really making people unable to be at ease. In the past when they quarreled, how did they usually end up?"

  "In the past, if Young Master was around, he would resolve it. If Young Master wasn't around, then the lower-ranking people would persuade them to open up. However, they also had to smash a lot of things, now nothing is dared to be placed in the great hall."

  No wonder she felt something was off in the hall. Without the ceramic decorations, it looked dull and grey.

  "So how did you all solve it?"

  "Master..." Xing'er looked up at Yan Cheng.

  Yan Cheng leaned in and whispered into Ye Yun's ear: "Young masters usually find it troublesome, they just give them what they want and get rid of them."

  "Oh, it's really convenient. No wonder everyone likes to come here to quarrel, it seems there are benefits to it." Ye Yun stood up and patted the wrinkles on her clothes, "Let's go. Go see if the two old ladies need some tea or snacks, attend to them."

  As I walked into the hall, two old ladies were in the midst of a heated argument.

  It's been so long and yet they haven't even had a fight; I wonder if it's because they're well-behaved or if they're waiting for something.

  Ye Yun sneered inwardly and strode into the hall. Ling Wei, who was at a loss beside her, saw her and flashed a sharp light in his eyes, as if he had seen a savior.

  Ye Yun sat down in the upper seat, saying nothing and doing nothing.

  When Apricot brought her tea over, she slowly savored it.

  For the two old women who were arguing happily, she remained indifferent and calm, neither persuading nor getting angry, as if watching a boring play.

  "You selfish old woman, you never considered Wei Er at all! You only regarded her as a tool to make money for you!" Wang Shi cursed this time still quite civilized.

  "How dare you say such things, what qualifications do you have to arrange me? Who do you think you are to Wei Er? Just because you're related to that bastard, you think you can be connected with the Ling family? Bah! You're not even worthy!"

  Wild species? Ye Yun's eyes narrowed slightly as she took note of it.

  "Ah!" Wang's face turned red with rage, and he laughed sarcastically, "Hmph! This wild seed has already taken over your Lingyu Manor, and is still the master of Lingyu Manor! Wei'er is his sister, so she's naturally my niece too! What about you legitimate ones? Aren't you going to be driven out?"

  "You!" Wang said, really hitting Yu's sore spot. Although Ling Hao's mountain villa was also good, it was after all unknown to the world.

  Ling Hao is usually idle and lazy, not diligent in his work, every day he only knows how to spend money, if it weren't for Ling Feng giving him several profitable businesses, he would probably have gone bankrupt and become a beggar on the street.

  "I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense. What's the meaning of 'driving him out'?! Our Haoping is a branch of our family that has been separated from us, and his father had prepared an estate for him that is far more luxurious than this Lingmeng Mountain Villa!"

  "Alright, alright. Who doesn't know that your precious grandson is lazy and gluttonous, and has already squandered the inheritance his father left him? Now even the two lucrative businesses Feng Er gave him are on the verge of bankruptcy." Wang Shi felt like she had won a round and let out a cold, mocking laugh.

  "Hum! The one that's been defeated is also our Ling family's business, what does it have to do with you? Didn't you also lose all your family property? How dare you say it's not ours! Old Wang from the casino didn't come after you for your gambling debt?"

  Hit the nail on the head!

  Wang's face turned green with rage again.

  The battle between the two had reached a stalemate.

  Ling Wei, who was caught in the middle, looked left and right, at a loss for what to do. She raised her eyes and saw Ye Yun drinking tea with an air of watching from a safe distance, which made her feel both angry and anxious.

  She didn't know why, but she felt that if Ye Yun took action, she would definitely be able to handle these two old ladies.

  "Sister-in-law......" Ling Wei looked at Ye Yun with a pitiful expression, her voice weak and trembling.

  She is now neither sitting nor standing, and doesn't know what to do. She can still drink tea so calmly!

  Wow! It's only now that I'm calling her sister-in-law. Earlier, when I was pointing at her nose and scolding her, or flipping over her table, why didn't it occur to me that she's my sister-in-law?

  Ye Yun smiled and suddenly turned her gaze to Wang Shi and Yu Shi.

  "Please, don't mind me. At Lingmu Villa, we have everything else taken care of, including tea and refreshments. If either of you feel hungry or thirsty, just call out. We'll be at your service anytime."

  The Wang and Yu families were at a loss for words. As everyone said, it had come to this point, and if they continued to quarrel, it would be like putting on a show for her.

  To put it bluntly, isn't this just humiliating?

  Ye Yun took a sip of tea, didn't hear any noise, and raised her eyes again. "What? Are you all not arguing anymore? Alright then, let me ask one question, why were you all arguing? Was it just to expose each other's secrets? Who wants to tell me?"

  Ye Yun glanced at both Wang and Yu again. The two were silent, staring at each other without looking away, ignoring Ye Yun.

  Ye Yun smiled coldly and leaned back in her chair, resting against the backrest.

  "Alright! I'll change the subject. Auntie, it's been a long time since you've come back, and after your last visit, you should have figured things out by now. What brings you to the village today?"

  Ye Yun deliberately emphasized "last time" with a heavy tone, and although her eyes were smiling, they carried a hint of chill.

  Wang's body trembled involuntarily, and his stout figure took a small step back. Although unwilling, he said: "Didn't you ask the matchmaker from the capital to find a husband for Wei'er? I happen to have a suitable candidate here."

  "Oh? Then you should know the conditions I gave to the matchmakers?"

  "It's only natural. This person will only respect the noble and won't be inferior to Yan Qing." Wang said with a slanted glance at Yu, full of provocative meaning.

  Yu didn't rush to refute and said: "Then you say it! Let everyone hear, what a formidable person!"
