The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2088 - 2090: She Loves to Give Tit for Tat

Mingqiu didn’t expect Yang Chuxia to agree so easily and was momentarily stunned.

Ming Lan saw this and gave her a push, "What are you standing there stupefied for? Hurry and thank the madam!"

Only then did Mingqiu come to her senses and hurriedly said, "Thank you, madam. Thank you, madam!"

Yang Chuxia saw her walking just fine, yet suddenly performing a grand kneeling ceremony, and that thud was really loud.

"What a silly girl. Doesn’t your knee hurt? Quickly, get up." The clothes worn today were already thin; with a kneel on the stone floor like that, her legs would be bruised by morning.

"Thank you, madam, it doesn’t hurt."

Seeing her grinning foolishly, Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but share a bit of her joy.

Back at the bamboo courtyard, Ye Zi’an had not yet gone to rest.

"Why are you still waiting? Didn’t I tell you to sleep first?"

Ye Zi’an put the book in his hand to the side and said, "I couldn’t sleep alone. How did it go? Did you manage to get anything out of it?"

"Of course!" Yang Chuxia replied with a smile, "I couldn’t go out there without getting something out of her."

Ye Zi’an liked her smug little expression, and with a chuckle, asked, "What did you find out?"

"The ambition for wealth and power is truly frightening," Yang Chuxia shook her head and said, "Yunyun was drugged because she blocked someone else’s path. I’ve seen quite a few family rivalries and wife competitions, all because someone gets in someone else’s way. But to start clearing obstacles before even entering the door is truly a first for me."

Yang Chuxia was puzzled, "Tell me, how does the Prime Minister’s family have such confidence? How could he be so sure that if Linhao didn’t marry Yunyun, he would definitely marry his daughter?"

"If you are determined, what’s impossible to achieve?" Ye Zi’an shook his head. He had heard of women’s schemes before. Ruining reputations, trapping people in a room, and turning raw rice into cooked rice, among others, were all methods Madam of Prime Minister, with her age, would know too well.

Seeing her frowning again, Ye Zi’an couldn’t help but take two steps forward and smooth out her brows, "What are you thinking?"

"I’m wondering why the Luo Family is interfering," Yang Chuxia recounted First Madam Luo’s schemes to Ye Zi’an.

After thinking for a while, Ye Zi’an laughed, "First Madam Luo is probably aiming for the title."

"The title?"

"Yes, the title of Marquis Wu’an should rightfully belong to the first branch, but now it has fallen to the third branch, along with the State Duke of Defense’s title. How could the first branch not be jealous?"

Yang Chuxia couldn’t understand for a moment, "Even if she is jealous, she should target the title. If she wants to do something bad, shouldn’t she start with Linhao? Why target Yunyun?"

Ye Zi’an explained, "This is First Madam Luo’s cleverness. I suspect she knows that going to the Emperor to reclaim the title won’t work, so she turns to target the third branch’s heirs. If the third branch has no children, wouldn’t they have to consider adopting? I really didn’t expect the Luo Family to come up with such a plan."

Yang Chuxia widened her eyes in disbelief.

"These people are too shameless," Yang Chuxia cursed in anger, "Despicable! No wonder there’s no one decent in the whole family."

"Alright, don’t be angry anymore. Now that we know it’s them, their plans can’t possibly succeed."

Yang Chuxia slapped the low table next to her forcefully and said fiercely, "I certainly won’t let them succeed." She always liked to give tit for tat.

"Doesn’t it hurt?" Ye Zi’an lifted her hand and blew on it, "Why use so much strength?"
