EBE Chapter 166 The Butterfly Effect
Chapter 166 The Butterfly Effect
Qin Xiang was secretly shocked when he heard this. Is she not a virgin? This is something that can be verified by a test. Ye Shi would definitely not dare to speak nonsense.
Qin Yuehua pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Aunt Ye, it's not okay to spread rumors like this. Are you trying to force me to death?"
When Aunt Ye turned her head and saw Qin Yuehua like this, she thought she had won. She thought that Miss Qin wanted to play the same trick on her again, but she would not be fooled. This crying tactic was just the trick she had left. She smiled and said, "Whether it is true or not, we will know after a test."
Qin Yuehua felt even more aggrieved. She also stepped forward and cried, "Grandfather, this concubine Ye insulted my granddaughter's reputation so openly. I really can't live anymore, wuwuwu..."
Prime Minister Qin was also in a very difficult situation, not knowing whether he should test it or not.
Aunt Ye was even more certain of her own judgment, and her senior brother could not lie to her. She knew from her experience how effective the medicine from southern Xinjiang was. Without a man, how could the effect of the medicine be neutralized?
Man proposes, God disposes. If it weren't for Su Yu, Miss Qin might have really been tricked by them. Su Yu herself was unaware of the butterfly effect she had brought about.
She stared at Qin Yuehua and asked: "Miss, are you afraid now?"
Qin Yuehua said: "What will you do if it is found that I am a virgin?"
Aunt Ye raised her head and said confidently: "Let Miss Ren deal with it."
Qin Yuehua looked into her charming eyes and said, "Okay, if it is proved that it was Aunt Ye who spread the rumors, then please ask grandfather to arrange for Ye to leave the house. Our Qin family can't stand such random rumors."
Aunt Ye said greedily again: "If the young lady is not a virgin, she should also compensate me for the injustice I have suffered, right?"
Qin Yuehua also wanted to know how ambitious this concubine Ye was, so she asked, "How do you want to compensate me?"
Aunt Ye said happily: "In addition to the housekeeper's power, I also want half of the late lady's dowry."
Qin Xiang frowned when he heard this. He was not sure who was telling lies, but he still spoke up to help his granddaughter. He said, "Yuehua, this is probably not appropriate."
Qin Yuehua said firmly: "Please ask grandfather to be a witness. Once it is confirmed that my aunt spread rumors, she will be expelled from the house."
The eldest master Qin Qianbai didn't know who was right and who was wrong. He pulled Aunt Ye's sleeve and said, "Forget it. If my father says he wants to expel you from the house, I, the master, can't protect you anymore."
However, Aunt Ye was very confident in her judgment. She said righteously: "Master, this matter must be verified. It is related to major events in the future. This eldest lady is the future prince's consort. This matter must be verified today."
Qin Yuehua also agreed and said: "Grandfather, please ask your mother-in-law to come and check it out."
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Qin had no choice but to make arrangements, "Qin Shun, go find someone."
"Yes," the butler Qin Shun responded and immediately ran to find someone.
Aunt Ye was afraid that Prime Minister Qin would protect his granddaughter, so she said, "Ruizhu, you go with them too."
Ruizhu quickly and happily replied "yes". This was a good opportunity to gain merit in front of her aunt.
Afterwards, Qin Yuehua followed the maid brought by Butler Qin and Concubine Ye's maid Ruizhu to have a physical examination.
When the three came back, Qin Yuehua's face was calm, but Ruizhu's face was pale. However, the anxious concubine Ye did not see it. She looked at the old woman who went to examine her body with anticipation, hoping that she could say the words she wanted to hear from her mouth.
But the old woman said loudly: "The eldest lady is an innocent girl."
Aunt Ye stood up anxiously and said, "Impossible, how is it possible?" But she had been kneeling for too long, her knees became numb, and she fell to the ground again.
Ruizhu went over to support him, but she pushed the maid away. She lost her mind and yelled at the old woman who was in charge of the physical examination: "You are the old master's person, you must be protecting this shameless and bitch girl, right?"
"Ruizhu, tell me," Ruizhu dared not tell a lie in such an occasion, she said: "The eldest lady is indeed a virgin."
"Impossible, impossible..." Aunt Ye still didn't believe it. It was impossible. Senior brother would never lie to her.
Before she could say anything else, Prime Minister Qin gave her a look and the butler Qin Shun understood what he meant and immediately ordered someone to shut Ye's mouth.
Prime Minister Qin made the final decision, "Expel Ye from the mansion, there will be no more concubine Ye in the mansion from now on." Immediately, a servant came to drag Ye away.
Qin Qianbai was not happy when he heard this. He immediately stood up to stop him and said, "Dad, this is Qin Bao's mother, the biological mother of your grandson."
When Prime Minister Qin Hui looked at his silly son again this time, he was just like Qin Yuehua and didn't want to look at him any more. "So what do you want? If you can't let go, just follow him out of the house."
He thought to himself, he really couldn't teach this son.
Aunt Ye thought to herself, this won’t do. If the master doesn’t leave the house, there will still be a chance to bring her in again. If they leave together, it will be difficult for her to come here again. So she looked at Qin Hui with tears in her eyes and winked at him desperately.
But Qin Hui mistakenly thought that she wanted him to go with her, so he said: "Let's go. As long as I can be with the one I love, it doesn't matter where I go."
"Waaaa, grandpa, I don't want my mother to leave, mother...", a child's crying sound was heard outside the door, and Qin Bao walked in, followed by a wet nurse.
Prime Minister Qin Hui's headache was even worse at this moment. He patiently asked his grandson in front of him, "Qin Bao, do you want to stay in the mansion with your grandfather, or go with your mother?"
Qin Bao cried and said, "I want to go with my mother."
When the eldest master Qin Qianbai heard his son say this, his eyes turned red with emotion. He glared at Qin Yuehua: "Are you happy now? I knew it. You are as hypocritical as your mother. You are obviously intolerant, but you pretend to be magnanimous."
"Hmph, let's pack up some things and leave now."
Aunt Ye thought that since the situation was already like this, it would be better to take away some money and leave. It was better than having nothing at all.
But Nanny Qiutong shattered her dream, "Master, you have to hand over all of Madam's dowry before you can leave."
Qin Qianbai was now disgusted with the old woman. He said angrily: "Go now."
So everyone moved to the storeroom and, under the supervision of the chief steward Qin Shun, the second steward Tang Zhong, Nanny Qiu Tong, as well as Prime Minister Qin, Qin Yuehua and others, they considered for a long time. Until late at night, they still had not finished considering the dowry.
Everyone went back to rest for a night, and until the next morning, they calculated until the afternoon and finally sorted out all the accounts. They found that a lot of dowry had indeed been moved, about 300,000 taels of silver, and many shops and farms were also transferred to the name of Concubine Ye.
Prime Minister Qin ordered his son to go to the government first to return all the shops and farms to his granddaughter's name. Led by the chief steward Qin Shun, he went to the government office to handle the transfer procedures, which went very smoothly.
Basically, everything was done immediately upon arrival. No usual rewards or restrictions were applied. It was incredible to see that everything went smoothly for Mr. Qin Qianbai. It was not so easy for him to get things done in the past. He did not know that when doing things outside, the butler Qin Shun had much more face than him.
Not long after, they came back.
There was still some dowry that had been misappropriated, and Prime Minister Qin ordered that it be made up with Concubine Ye's private money. Concubine Ye certainly didn't want to do that, and she looked at Qin Qianbai crying.
Qin Qianbai wondered how it could be so much, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "I will use my private property to make up for Yuehua." However, his heart was bleeding silently, because those were the property left to him by his mother.
So when the three of them were kicked out of the Qin Mansion, only Aunt Ye had some private money left in her pocket. She didn't have to think about jewelry or anything like that, as she spent it all on the money.
Qin Qianbai was even more penniless, and he only had a maid named Ruizhu with him, because Mengzhu and the wet nurse were indentured to the mansion and could not leave with him.
