Chapter 100: Stain On The Family Name

Translator: Larbre Studio  Editor: Larbre Studio

After Ye Mo and Ye Ling left, Liu Duo shut the door to the yard to prevent anyone else from bothering her. She was not in the mood to get to know people.

She cleaned up both houses. The four brothers kept things quite neat and tidy,so she only had to sweep off some dust.

She cleaned up the yard too. After having worked for some time, she went inside and laid on the bed, rubbing her sore waist.

Ye Xuan leisurely returned home, and Ye Lanlan went to greet him, “Xuan, where did you go? Granny’s been asking why you weren’t studying in the house.”

“I went for a spin to Mo’s house. I have to get up and walk around sometimes and not stay cooped up inside studying all day, right?” He giggled as he walked.

“Oh,” Ye Lanlan walked behind him. “Xuan, why did you think to go there? You didn’t do that before.”

Ye Lanlan was acting strange.

“Is there a problem?” Ye Xuan stopped to look at her.

She waved her hands in denial, “No, of course not. Just asking. You go back to your studies then, Xuan. I don’t want to bother you.”

How would she dare to think otherwise? He was the future graduate of the house! She could have a problem with anyone else, but she certainly wouldn’t dare to have a problem with him!

He nodded, and went back to his room and shut the door behind him, isolating himself from any disruptions.

In this Ye household, Ye Xuan’s room was the biggest, with fine lighting. He sat at the study table next to the window, burying himself in books.

His ambition was not only limited to passing his exams. He hadn’t been able to do it after so many years, but he didn’t give up. If it were that easy, anyone could become an official, right? He was only twenty-one years old, so there was no need to rush.

Outside, Ye Lanlan, upon seeing her grandmother, went to report to her, “Granny, brother’s back. He’s studying in his room now.”

“Right. Don’t disturb him, otherwise you’ll see what I’ll do with you,” Grandmother Ye instructed fiercely.

Accustomed to this response, Ye Lanlan nodded obediently. She had to stay on her good side, so that when she got married she could receive more dowry from her grandmother. That way, she wouldn’t be bullied or slighted by her husband’s family.

Seeing her grandmother about to leave, she immediately added, “Granny, when I went to deliver lunch to Dad just now, I saw Mo and Ling.”

“Their shared wife was with them too. She held Ling’s hand in broad daylight. Such indecency! Although they’ve been separated from the family, if the neighbours saw that, it’d be a stain on the family name.”

Grandmother Ye furrowed her brow. She knew the four brothers had recently bought a shared wife, but she had not met her, and they had not introduced her to the family.

After hearing Ye Lanlan’s report, she got even madder. They actually bought a shameless woman, one who could bring dishonour to the family!

“Unbelievable. Why did they buy a woman like that? I have to go see for myself. What a bunch of infidels! They didn’t even think of discussing it with me!” Grandmother Ye ranted all the way to the yard and left the house.

She saw her grandmother leave and chased after her. She did not mind seeing drama unfold.

Inside the house, Ye Xuan heard the whole conversation between Ye Lanlan and their grandmother. He also got up and followed them from afar.

He wanted to know how sparks would fly when Liu Duo came face to face with their aggressive grandmother. After all, she could bluntly tell people to leave when she didn’t like their presence.

Liu Duo, who didn’t know what was coming, was lying on her bed, rubbing her back. She took off her garments and got ready to practice yoga.

She had nothing to do, so she might as well exercise to pass the time.
