After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Chapter 66 Immorality

After Madam Xie's reprimand, the entire courtyard fell silent, and Jiang Yuyue was even more determined not to let such a good opportunity slip by.

Since Xie Jinbo inadvertently brought up the child in her womb today, she should refrain from such speculation.

"grandmother……"

Jiang Yuyue picked up her handkerchief and gently covered her face, her tone full of sorrow, "If my granddaughter-in-law really has another lover outside, she could have taken advantage of the time she was in the capital to elope with him. Why bother coming back?"

"I know that I am marrying into the Xie family, which is considered a step up for me. But even though my family is a merchant family, I am still an innocent girl. How can I be questioned like this? If Erlang and Sister Yuan'er really doubt the bloodline of the child in my belly, they can bring me a bowl of abortifacient medicine to drink right now!"

Upon hearing that the child was to be aborted, Madam Xie and Madam Xie immediately panicked.

Madam Xie quickly stepped forward and took Jiang Yuyue's hand, comforting her, "Yuyue, how can you think like that? Your little sister Yuan'er is still young and doesn't know how to speak or act properly. She was just saying those things in anger. How could she possibly be seriously questioning the child in your belly?"

"When Mother gets back, she will surely punish her severely, so that she will never dare to say such things again!"

Madam Xie was also afraid that Jiang Yuyue might do something rash. If something happened to the child in her womb, then the Xie family's main branch would truly be wiped out!

"Erlang and Yuan'er are getting more and more outrageous as they grow up! How dare they slander their sister-in-law like this! Today, you two will kneel in the ancestral hall for a whole day and night as punishment. Don't even think about coming out until you've finished kneeling!"

Xie Yuan and Xie Jinbo exchanged glances upon hearing this. Xie Jinbo wanted to retort, but the Second Madam glared at him fiercely, preventing him from uttering his words.

Although Madam Xie felt sorry for her precious daughter, the most important thing right now was the child in Jiang Yuyue's belly.

"Alright, Yue'er, Yuan'er and Erlang must know they were wrong, so don't be sad. Crying too much is not good for the baby in your belly."

Jiang Yuyue was only faking her tears, and upon hearing these words, she sneered inwardly. After all, the child in her womb was the most precious thing.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mother and Grandmother..."

Jiang Yuyue was still sobbing intermittently, "Since we've brought this topic up in the open today, let's ask Mother and Grandmother to make the decision."

"I'll say it again: if anyone still questions the child in my womb, I can abort the child and leave the Xie family right now. If no one has anything to say, then please don't gossip about my child in the future!"

When Madam Xie heard that Jiang Yuyue was leaving the Xie family, she became even more anxious. The Xie family's money was about to run out, and if Jiang Yuyue left, wouldn't they really be unable to continue?

"Of course!"

Madam Xie quickly affirmed her words, and then solemnly said, "If anyone dares to say a word about the child in Yue'er's belly in the future, then get out of the Xie family, and pretend that our Xie family has no such person!"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuan glared at Jiang Yuyue with even more hatred.

That bitch is really something! With just a few words, she got the entire Xie family to revolve around her!

After speaking, Madam Xie didn't forget to ask Jiang Yuyue's opinion, "Yuyue, what do you think of this?"

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Jiang Yuyue stopped pretending and nodded gently, "Thank you, Grandmother."

Xie Jinglan glanced at her briefly, then met her eyes, which held a hint of a smile, and subtly curled his lips into a smile.

Ji Xiang, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded by what had just happened. He was worried that Jiang Yuyue's affair with his master might be exposed, but she managed to smooth things over.

This made Jixiang silently admire Jiang Yuyue's manipulative skills; perhaps one day her own master would also be manipulated by her...

The farce ended with Jiang Yuyue successfully gaining control of the household, silencing the rumors, and Xie Yuan and Xie Jinbo being locked in the ancestral hall and forced to kneel as punishment.

To take care of Jiang Yuyue's feelings, the First Madam and Old Madam Xie picked out a few tonics from the already sparsely stocked storeroom and sent them to her room. They also brought over the Xie family's account books.

"Miss, you are really too bold."

Although she had successfully passed the test, Xiao Liu was still a little shaken when she recalled what had just happened. "How could you have brought up the Third Young Master? What if he suddenly... blurted it out?"

"He won't tell."

Jiang Yuyue leisurely flipped through the account book, "This child is his after all. If he really told anyone, both the child and I would die, and he wouldn't benefit from it either. Besides..."

Jiang Yuyue didn't say the second half of her sentence. Seeing her confident look, Xiao Liu sighed, "Miss, please don't do such a thing again. My heart was in my throat just now!"

As night fell, Jiang Yuyue did not shy away from the farce of the day. Despite Xiao Liu's repeated attempts to dissuade her, she still ordered Xiao Liu to pack some food and take it to Xie Jinglan's courtyard.

Xie Jinglan was not surprised by her arrival, as if he was already used to it.

But seeing Jiang Yuyue sit down and start looking through the ledgers as soon as she arrived, his gaze deepened slightly.

"Even if the Xie family's few run-down shops are helped up, they won't necessarily generate much revenue. You're willing to endure hardship and go to such lengths for such a small amount of money."

"You don't understand this."

Jiang Yuyue remained focused on the contents of the ledger, saying, "Even if it's not much money, it adds up to a considerable amount over time."

"It is said that parents who love their children will plan far ahead for them. Now that I have a child, I must plan even more for his future. I don't want my child to live a life of hardship and frugality from the moment he is born."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jinglan slightly bent her knuckles and lightly tapped them on the table, not feeling that these words came from her heart.

If we're really talking about it, this child is an immoral creation that shouldn't exist. Besides, when Jiang Yuyue took him to the capital for medical treatment, she wasn't entirely sure she could conceive.

But judging from her various schemes these past few days, it must have been planned for a long time. Jiang Yuyue's claim that she did this simply for the sake of the child is clearly untenable.

It's more like they're single-mindedly scheming against the Xie family.

Thinking about all this, Xie Jinglan looked at her with even more curiosity. What exactly was Jiang Yuyue's purpose?

Perhaps sensing Xie Jinglan's gaze, Jiang Yuyue looked up and found that the food she had packed up was untouched, which she found rather strange.

"Why aren't you eating? Have you become too picky about the food at Dinglou Restaurant?"
