Yuan Bao initially sympathized with Qi Ming, but then began to revel in his misfortune. However, provoking these lunatics would be a mercy compared to what they would do to Qi Ming.
“The young master said that Qi Ming must not encounter any trouble in Xuan Empire,” Yuan Bao reminded them, concerned that they might cause trouble in Xuan Empire.
“Don’t worry, we know what we’re doing. We won’t cause any trouble for Brother Yu,” Nan Qiao assured him.
As for what happens outside of Xuan Empire, it was none of their concern.
After giving instructions for the preparations, Su Yu began to deal with the Yu family’s branch.
In just one day, the head of the Yu family found himself under attack from all sides, not only from Su Yu but also from the Ming family.
Upon learning of this, madam Yu hurriedly returned to the Ming family and sought out the elder Old lady Ming. “Grandmother, you must help us.”
“What happened?” Seeing madam Yu’s anxious state, the Old lady Ming inquired.
“The prince of Xuan has started to target our family. We have no complaints about him, but my good second brother has also turned against us. Grandmother, he is my own brother, and now he is working with the royal family to target us,” Madam Yu expressed her resentment towards the head of the Ming family.
Wasn’t it just her daughter who caused a little trouble at Ming Wanning’s wedding? It didn’t cause any harm to the Ming family, yet they were so ruthless.
Upon hearing this, the old Lady. Ming was incredulous. Wasn’t the head of the Ming family and Madam Yu essentially destroying each other?
“Go and call the head of the family here.”
When madam Yu arrived, the head of the Ming family was already aware, so he was not surprised when the servant came to summon him to the old lady. Ming’s presence.
“That old lady really doesn’t know what she’s doing. How can she be so clueless?” How could she be so oblivious to the situation?
“Brother, you should discuss with the third brother first. I’ll go and see her to clarify things,” the head of the Ming family said, standing up and looking at his brothers.
“Be careful. The old lady might get angry,” his brother warned.
“Alright.”
When the head of the Ming family arrived at the Old Lady Ming’s place, he heard Madam Yu accusing him of his crimes, claiming that he was destroying his own family in disregard of kinship.
Upon hearing the accusations from madam Yu, he sneered. “I can’t bear the weight of these accusations.”
Madam Yu’s tearful voice seemed to be choked off as she turned to the head of the Ming family, and then rushed towards him. “Brother, we are family. Why are you doing this?”
“Family? When your daughter was scheming against Ningning, where was your talk of family? You were quite pleased with yourself back then, weren’t you?” the head of the Ming family said coldly, looking at Madam Yu.
Madam Yu’s expression stiffened. “Brother…”
“Don’t call me brother. I don’t have a sister like you,” he said, unable to bear having a sister like her.
“On the day of Ningning’s wedding, my wife warned you to keep an eye on Yu Manxue, and not to let her cause trouble, didn’t she?” the head of the Ming family looked at the old lady Ming and madam Yu.
He knew that it was the old lady Ming who had been informed about the matter at the time.
Since the old lady Ming hadn’t taken it seriously, there was no need for further discussion.
madam Yu fell silent. Indeed, her sister-in-law had mentioned this matter, but when she heard her daughter express her desire to become the consort of the prince of Xuan, she had agreed.
The prospect of being the mother-in-law of the prince of Xuan had ignited a fire in madam Yu’s heart. If things worked out, the Yu family’s business would surely receive support from the prince of Xuan, and they might even surpass the Ming family.
It was this ambition that led her to let her daughter pursue these actions. However, she never expected that Prince Yu had no interest in a beauty like her daughter, which left Madam Yu feeling extremely embarrassed.
She felt as if her daughter had been rejected.
The head of the Ming family had seen all kinds of people, and he knew very well what kind of person madam Yu was. Wasn’t she just trying to use Yu Manxue to establish a connection with the Prince Yu? Did they think the Prince Yu was the kind of person who would be swayed by beauty? It was utterly ridiculous.
“Are you also hoping for Yu Manxue to become the consort of the Prince Yu? As someone who wants the chance to become the mother-in-law of the Prince Yu, how could you oppose Yu Manxue’s shameless actions?” The head of the Ming family’s words were like throwing madam Yu into a crowd.
“You’re talking nonsense. I have never had such thoughts,” madam Yu denied, even if she did have such thoughts, she couldn’t admit it now.
“Whether you have or not, you know in your heart,” he retorted.
The old lady Ming didn’t see anything wrong with the thoughts of madam Yu and Yu Manxue, and instead supported them. “Aren’t they thinking of the family’s interests? Having a relationship with the Prince Yu would benefit the Ming family as well. Instead of being grateful, you are undermining your sister. You are simply ungrateful.”
“My son-in-law is Prince Yu’s brother. Do I need the relationship your trying to say” Did their family need it?
The old lady Ming seemed to have forgotten about Su Jiu.
“Brother, no matter what, it’s not an excuse for you to target our family,” madam Yu quickly interjected, steering the conversation back.
The old lady Ming nodded in agreement. “Your sister is right. What you’re doing is indeed too much. You must help your sister’s husband get through this difficult situation.”
The old lady Ming’s command left the head of the Ming family thoroughly disappointed. “I don’t have the ability to help you. When Yu Manxue drugged my daughter, I warned you not to let me catch an opportunity, or else you would regret it for the rest of your life. Now that I finally have this chance, how could I let it slip by?”
“You may leave. I’ve said it before, we have no relationship with your family. Don’t come back here anymore,” the head of the Ming family impatiently issued the order to expel her.
He also instructed the servants not to let her in if she came back in the future.
Madam Yu trembled with anger upon hearing the head of the Ming family’s orders. “You are trying to exterminate our family completely.”
“Say what you want. You’d better go back and think about how to preserve more of what you have,” the head of the Ming family sneered and walked away.
“Stop right there!” the old lady Ming angrily reprimanded, but the head of the Ming family didn’t spare her a second glance.
Madam Yu was dumbfounded. She turned to the anxious old woman beside her and asked, “Grandmother, what should we do now?”
The old woman also felt helpless. The three brothers of the Ming family no longer took her seriously. Whatever she said was as good as nothing.
She had no say in the Ming family and couldn’t help Mrs. Yu at all.
Seeing the old woman’s silence, Madam Yu’s face darkened, and she said, “I have something to attend to. I’ll leave first.”
The old nanny who had been taking care of the old woman frowned and said, “The old lady seems to be holding a grudge against you.”
Although the old woman was reluctant to admit it, it was an undeniable fact.
Her brow furrowed, and her expression turned grim. “How dare she hold a grudge against me? Could the situation in the Ming family have turned out like this if it weren’t for the two of them, mother and daughter?”
In the past, they had sent over precious health-preserving vegetables and fruits, and she had never hesitated to share them with the mother and daughter.
