Yan Residence.
In the main courtyard, Yan Zhigao and Madam Li were looking displeased at Yan Wenjie and Zhu Qiyun, who were kneeling on the ground pleading on behalf of Yan Yile.
At last, Yan Zhigao sighed and asked, "Wenjie, now that your parents are not by your side and you are the eldest brother, tell me, what should we do about Yile’s situation?"
Although Yan Wenjie was ashamed of his sister’s behavior, he had to consider her future and said reluctantly, "Uncle, I know that Yile has made a big mistake, but... but her affair with the second son of the Feng Family is already known to others, please..."
Before he could finish, Madam Li interrupted him, "Wenjie, do you know why your uncle and elder brother have not invited the Feng Family over for gatherings during this period?"
She then looked toward Zhu Qiyun.
"Qiyun, you should know a bit about Yile’s feelings, and given how Madam Feng perceives her, a clever person like you surely can’t have missed that?"
Zhu Qiyun bowed her head slightly in acknowledgment. Madam Feng didn’t think highly of Yile, which she had observed closely, and for this, she had privately sought advice from her fourth sister. Unfortunately, her words fell on deaf ears.
Madam Li sighed and said, "I’m not the villain who wishes to break up someone’s marriage. If Madam Feng truly had intentions towards Yile, even if it meant begging, I could have visited the Feng Family."
"But, Madam Feng has already made her stance very clear, and yet Yile still insists on approaching the second son of the Feng Family. Isn’t that just inviting disrespect upon herself?"
"Now it’s even better, she went to someone else’s residence for a secret meeting and got caught. She has made the entire Yan Family lose face with her. How have we wronged her in any way?"
Listening to these words, Yan Wenjie and Zhu Qiyun felt extremely embarrassed.
Dealing with such a troublesome sister, there was nothing they could do.
At this moment, Ping Tong and Ping Xiao brought Yan Yile, who had been kneeling as a punishment in the ancestral hall, over.
Hearing this, both Madam Li and Yan Zhigao were stunned.
They had never expected that after years of wholeheartedly raising their second wife’s daughters, they would not receive any gratitude in the end.
Yan Wenjie and Zhu Qiyun were also momentarily stunned.
Then, Yan Wenjie turned around, heartbroken, and slapped Yan Yile, "Scoundrel, your uncle and aunt have provided for you, clothed you, housed you, and made all the efforts to find you a suitable match. How can you utter such ungrateful words?"
Yan Yile, after being slapped, became even more irrational and sneered repeatedly, "Raising me and my second sister is just to ease uncle and aunt’s consciences and to prevent outsiders from saying they favor one more than the other."
"Second brother, just look at the disparity between our second household and the first and third. All of this is caused by uncle and aunt."
"It was they who blew up a small issue and sent our parents back to our hometown. They also didn’t fight for you to attend Wangyue Academy when you were young."
