Mrs. Liu was shocked. She never expected Ethan Ye to do this.
She immediately threw the dagger in her hand to the ground. Just as she was about to speak, Ethan Ye suddenly knelt on the ground and roared: "Second Aunt, I just broke Jian Ge'er's hand, and you want my life!"
"I," Mrs. Liu shook her head, "I didn't, you are slandering me."
"Someone come, help, Madam Liu has killed someone!" Ethan Ye shouted loudly.
At this time, Qiu Sang, who was lying on the bed, was as frightened as the old maids around him by what had just happened.
Soon someone rushed in. It was Chuntao, the maidservant beside Grace Shen.
"Second Madam, you go back first!" Chuntao said to Madam Liu.
Mrs. Liu held Chuntao's hand tightly and said anxiously, "Chuntao, I didn't do it."
Chuntao didn't say anything, but helped Mrs. Liu turn around.
After Madam Liu and the group of old maids left, she immediately said to Qiu Sang, "Go and get the doctor quickly. I will take care of you, son-in-law."
Qiu Sang nodded repeatedly, then got out of bed and ran out without even putting on his shoes.
After Qiu Sang left, Chun Tao squatted down, held Ethan Ye's arm and asked, "Son-in-law, are you okay? Let me take a look at your injuries."
Suddenly, Ethan Ye grinned, and deliberately moved closer to Chun Tao, his lips almost touching Chun Tao's face, and whispered: "This is a good opportunity to get rid of me, don't you want to do it?"
Chuntao nervously pushed Ethan Ye away, hurriedly stood up and took a few steps back.
At this time Ethan Ye slowly stood up and spread out his left palm.
Seeing a long wound on his left palm, Chuntao suddenly realized that Ethan Ye had cut his palm with a dagger and then smeared the blood on the clothes on his abdomen, making everyone mistakenly believe that he had stabbed himself in the stomach.
"I never thought that even someone as smart as Madam Liu could be tricked by you."
"Lend me your handkerchief."
Chuntao took out a handkerchief from her waist, then walked forward to bandage Ethan Ye's wound.
"You are the one who has been secretly monitoring me since I woke up, right?" Ethan Ye asked.
"It's mainly secret protection."
"Then why didn't you take action when you saw my brother bullying Qiu Sang today?" Ethan Ye asked.
"The young lady has instructed that you, my son-in-law, should be the only one in charge."
"What about later when Sheng Ge'er stabbed me with the sword?"
"Sir, you should know better than me that Brother Sheng doesn't dare to do it."
"What if he doesn't know how to handle things properly?" Ethan Ye rolled his eyes at Chun Tao and said, "Turn around."
"Why?" Chuntao frowned.
"Turn around and you will see something important." Ethan Ye explained.
Chuntao turned around.
At this time Ethan Ye raised his hand and slapped Chuntao hard on the B*tt.
Chuntao turned around angrily and wanted to attack but had to hold back and could only stomp her feet.
"I'm showing you your destiny. It's quite big and round. You'll definitely have sons in the future!"
Chuntao was ashamed and angry, and ran out angrily.
After Chuntao left for a while, Qiusang came back alone. When Madam Liu left just now, Ethan Ye showed her the scar on his palm, so she knew that Ethan Ye's injury was not serious.
"Qiusang, why did it take you so long to come back?" Ethan Ye asked.
Seeing that the wound on Ethan Ye's hand had been bandaged, Qiu Sang felt a little disappointed, then walked up to Ethan Ye, lowered his head and said: "Master, I'm afraid of disturbing you and Chun Tao's conversation."
"I don't have much to talk about with her."
Chuntao nodded her head and asked, "Master, is your hand okay?"
"It's okay, just some minor injuries." Ethan Ye smiled at him.
Suddenly, Chuntao knelt on the ground and said with tears of gratitude: "Master, it was thanks to you that you protected Qiu Sang just now, otherwise Qiu Sang would have been beaten to death by now."
"Qiusang, what are you doing?" Ethan Ye quickly helped Qiu Sang up and pulled her to sit next to him, with a faint smile on his face, "Nominally you are my maid, but in my heart, you are my relative. There is no reason in this world to watch your relatives die, don't you think?"
"Master, I..." Qiu Sang was so moved that he was speechless.
"Silly girl, you've been crying all day long, your face is swollen. Stop crying, go back and have a rest, you have to get up early tomorrow and go out with me."
"Where are you going?"
"You will know tomorrow."
Qiu Sang nodded, wiped her tears and left.
After stretching, Ethan Ye walked to the door and said through it: "You have been standing outside for so long, don't you want to come in and sit down?"
Then, the door was gently pushed open. The moon had already climbed over the branches, and the moonlight just happened to shine in front of the door.
In the moonlight, I saw a Grace Shenful and elegant woman with a slender waist, long flowing hair, skin whiter than snow, bright eyes and white teeth. She had a cool temperament, like a fairy who had descended from the Moon Palace.
This stunning woman in white is Ethan Ye’s wife - Grace Shen.
Ethan Ye couldn't help swallowing his saliva, secretly marveling at her for being the most beautiful woman in Jiangnan.
"When did you know I was standing outside?" Grace Shen asked.
"Just before Qiu-san came back."
A gleam of light flashed in Grace Shen's eyes, then he walked in, went straight to the table and sat down, picked up the teapot and poured two cups of tea.
"My wife came to visit me so late at night, could it be that you are here to consummate our marriage?" Ethan Ye asked.
Grace Shen took a sip of tea slowly and said expressionlessly: "I have never had any ill will towards you, so there is no need to deliberately provoke me with words. I came here just to have a peaceful talk with you."
Ethan Ye smiled. Compared with the brothers in the second house, Grace Shen was more clear-headed and insightful. He was truly the best among his peers with the surname Xiao.
"Very good," Ethan Ye sat down next to Grace Shen, "I like talking to smart people."
"Yesterday you instigated Qiu Sang to make a scene on the street, and today you had a huge quarrel with the second branch. Are you trying to deliberately make my Shen family restless? Since you came to my Shen family half a year ago, you have always been law-abiding. Could it be that you finally lost your patience?" Grace Shen asked in a calm tone.
"I almost lost my life, why should I keep calm?" Ethan Ye said.
"So what do you want?"
"That's what I wanted to ask," Ethan Ye asked back, "You and I have been married, but I have only seen you a few times in the past six months. We can't just keep dragging this out."
"If you still have any unreasonable thoughts, I advise you to give up on them." Grace Shen's face finally showed some expression.
Ethan Ye sighed in his heart: She is so beautiful even when she is angry.
"So what are your plans? Are you planning to waste your life like this? I don't care. After all, I'm eating and drinking for free, so I won't lose anything. But you, you don't want to waste your whole life like this, right?" Ethan Ye said.
"Three years!" Grace Shen's chest rose and fell a little, "After three years of marriage, you and I will divorce, then."
"No, two years." Ethan Ye interrupted Grace Shen, "But I have a condition."
Grace Shen was pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect that the deadline Ethan Ye proposed was shorter than she thought. This was the best thing for her.
"As long as it's not excessive, you can set any conditions you want."
"Within two years, your Shen family will pay to renovate my Ye Mansion."
"Don't even mention renovation, even rebuilding is fine."
"That's not necessary. I went on to say, one hundred acres of good land, one hundred tenant farmers, one hundred thousand taels of gold, silver and silver notes, and a thousand weapons such as swords, knives, clubs and clubs."
"Okay." Grace Shen still agreed readily, "Anything else?"
"It's gone." Ethan Ye smiled.
"Really?" Grace Shen was a little skeptical. After all, the conditions proposed by Ethan Ye were not difficult.
"It's enough for me to live a life of luxury, so why should I ask for more?" Ethan Ye explained, "If you are worried, you can sign a document."
"That's not necessary. If you regret it later, I have my own way to deal with it. But you still have to think about it carefully. Is there anything else you want to add? After tonight, you can't regret it." Grace Shen reminded.
"How about you just call me husband when you see me from now on?" Ethan Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Grace Shen was displeased and angry.
"Or sleep with me for one night?" Ethan Ye asked again.
Grace Shen slammed the table and left angrily.
