567 Disharmony
Ye Niuniu did not know that her family was about to change. She smiled at Liu Sanniang and nodded. “Sanniang, you’re the best. Thank you.”
Ye Niuniu did not think too much about her words, but when Old Madam Ye heard Liu Sanniang’s words, she took it seriously. She looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Sanniang, did you see anything? Just tell me. I’m a sensible person. If you see anything, please tell us.”
Ye Niuniu was stunned and looked at Liu Sanniang. She had heard from her mother that Sanniang was a psychic and was very capable.
However, while interacting with Liu Sanniang, she did not feel that there was anything different about Liu Sanniang. Speaking of which, she felt that those descriptions about Liu Sanniang were just rumors because Liu Sanniang didn’t look like a master who was difficult to get close to.
When Old Madam Ye said this, her daughters-in-law became very nervous.
Madam Liu, Madam Geng, and Madam Qiu looked at Liu Sanniang nervously. It was not easy for men to do business outside. They had already agreed to return home today, but they were not home yet. Did something happen?
Did they encounter bandits?
Mr. Liu and Madam Liu looked at each other. Initially, on such a joyous occasion, they did not want Liu Sanniang to say such an ominous thing, but they were also afraid that something might have really happened. Madam Liu looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Sanniang, tell Granny Ye. They all know your identity.”
If she didn’t say it, it would inevitably make the Ye family feel uneasy.
Liu Sanniang did not expect Old Madam Ye to be so sensitive. She looked at Old Madam Ye and said, “Then, I’ll get straight to the point. Granny Ye, your face shows that there will be chaos in the family, and you will be troubled.”
Old Madam Ye didn’t quite understand it. “Are you saying that something happened to my sons?”
Liu Sanniang shook her head. “No, your children are fine.”
Old Madam Ye heaved a sigh of relief. “Sanniang, come in and sit.”
Mr. Liu and Madam Liu thought for a moment and let Liu Dalang, his wife, and Liu Erlang go home first.
Liu Erlang didn’t want to go back, but Madam Liu wouldn’t allow him to stay. This concerned the Ye family’s matters, so Liu Erlang, as a junior, shouldn’t listen in.
When Madam Liu became serious, Liu Erlang did not dare to disobey. He looked at Ye Niuniu and said, “Niuniu, if anyone bullies you, tell me. I’ll avenge you.”
Ye Niuniu blushed and nodded.
Only then did Liu Erlang leave.
Madam Zhao, Madam Geng, and Madam Qiu wanted their sons to go back to their rooms.
Ye Tiancheng was the oldest. He said, “Grandma, we’re not children anymore. We need to know what’s going on. If there’s anything, we can help. Grandma, don’t you think so? We have to know.”
Old Madam Ye nodded. “You’re all grown up now. You can stay back and listen.”
After entering the house, Madam Xu, Madam Geng, and Madam Qiu stood beside Old Madam Ye. Old Madam Ye said, “Sanniang, you know how to read faces, right? Read our faces and tell us what’s going on.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Madam Zhao. “The chaos is the disharmony between you and your husband. The faces of the other two aunts are normal. Three uncles are not home yet. I think it’s not that they don’t want to come back home, but they want to wait for the guests to leave before coming back.”
Since they knew that something would happen if they came back, they waited until all the guests left before coming back.
This was a custom that had been passed down since ancient times. Most of the family matters were settled behind closed doors, not wanting outsiders to hear about it.
Moreover, the Ye family had just moved over. If they made a fool of themselves as soon as they shifted, the Ye family would not be able to gain a foothold in this new place.
Madam Zhao frowned. Hearing Liu Sanniang’s words, she could no longer smile. She had mixed feelings about the whole thing.
Madam Zhao looked at Liu Sanniang. “Sanniang, you probably don’t know much about our family. The Ye family is the same as the Liu family. When men are out doing business, they will never have affairs. If they dare, my mother-in-law will not let them off.”
In the Ye family, everyone abided by the family rules, and rules were implemented very strictly.
Old Madam Ye was the one who upheld justice. All these years, because of the family rules, the family was harmonious and prosperous.
The only thing Madam Zhao could think of was that Ye Laosan, her husband, had a change of heart, but this was also what she refused to admit the most.
Madam Qiu and Madam Geng heaved a sigh of relief. The two of them comforted Madam Zhao. “Don’t think too much. We haven’t seen him yet. Third Brother-in-law usually dotes on you. Before he comes back, don’t scare yourself.”
Madam Zhao was already at a loss. She did not want to lose her composure in front of so many people, but when she looked into Liu Sanniang’s eyes, she felt that her eyes were so sincere that she didn’t look like she was lying.
Old Madam Ye’s expression was calm. She instructed her grandsons. “Go out and look for your father. See if your father is back.”
Ye Tiancheng frowned. He was from the same mother as Ye Niuniu. After hearing Liu Sanniang’s words, his expression darkened and he clenched his fists. Now that Old Madam Ye gave the order, he immediately took his five brothers out.
Ye Niuniu bit her lip and lowered her head.
Old Madam Ye’s heart ached when she saw this. “Niuniu, come over here.”
Ye Niuniu was used to being pampered. She threw herself into Old Madam Ye’s arms and started to cry.
Old Madam Ye comforted Ye Niuniu. “Niuniu, don’t be afraid. If your father really dares to do anything despicable, I’ll chase him out. You have First Uncle and Second Uncle to dote on you. Granny and your mother will also be with you.”
Ye Niuniu did not say anything. She was just afraid. With Old Madam Ye’s comforting words, she felt much better.
Madam Zhao’s mind was in a mess. Even though she knew that Old Madam Ye was a fair person, she couldn’t get over it because she didn’t know what exactly caused the marital disharmony.
Mr. Liu and Madam Liu could not say anything.
Madam Liu held Liu Sanniang’s hand and let her lean on her shoulder, indicating that no matter what, her parents were on her side. Madam Liu was worried that if something really happened to the Ye family, the Ye family would pin the blame on Liu Sanniang.
