The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2708: Chapter 39: A Change of Style

Ye Haoxuan naturally hadn’t seen it himself, but he could picture the scene.

"Heh heh, Mom is really badass!"

However, his badass mother had completely switched styles at this moment.

At the palace gate, Yang Chuxia got off the carriage and reached her hand toward Ming Lan beside her. Ming Lan handed over the chili-water handkerchief she’d prepared in advance; Yang Chuxia rubbed her eyes hard twice, and they instantly filled with tears.

"That brat Qingqing, his mom is really suffering for him this time. If he dares marry a wife and then forget his mother in the future, I’ll flay his skin off, just you see."

Ming Lan couldn’t help laughing and crying at that. "Madam, you’re overthinking it. We don’t know how other people’s children are, but our young masters definitely wouldn’t. When they heard you were ill before, which one of them didn’t immediately drop everything in his hands and rush back? I heard our Second Master even got red-eyed in his panic."

"You’re just good at speaking up for them." Yang Chuxia straightened her clothes again, then strode into the palace with her people, full of swagger.

This time she didn’t go to the Empress, but headed straight for Baili Yan.

When Baili Yan heard Yang Chuxia had come, he found it strange. "What’s she doing in the palace? Normally, even if we invite her, she barely comes a few times a year. How come she’s taking the initiative now?"

The young eunuch said, "She probably has something urgent, Your Majesty. This servant noticed Madam Ye’s eyes were red."

"Oh-ho?" Baili Yan’s interest was piqued. "Could it be she had a fight with Ye Zi’an? Hurry and invite her in!"

The young eunuch silently went black-line. Why did the Emperor look like he was really hoping the Marquis Changning couple would quarrel?

Soon Yang Chuxia followed the young eunuch in, and right in front of the imperial desk she dropped to her knees with a thump, then burst into loud sobs, crying as she said, "Your Majesty, you must stand up for this subject’s wife and her youngest son. Life has become impossible. This subject’s wife and Lord Marquis haven’t even been away from the capital for that many years, how has it turned into everyone in the capital daring to bully us at our own door?"

Her crying complaint stunned Baili Yan for quite a while before he came back to himself—he had never seen Yang Chuxia like this.

But he was very entertained, so he watched Yang Chuxia for a long time, eyes shining with gossip, inwardly amazed—she’s actually really crying?

Yang Chuxia was speechless too. Why the hell was this Baili Yan so out of tune, not even asking what was going on?

"Your Majesty, this Madam Ye..."

"Ahem, ahem..." It was the young eunuch who reminded him, and only then did Baili Yan snap out of it, asking, slightly embarrassed, "What exactly is the matter? Get up and talk. What’s with all the wailing and sobbing, what kind of sight is that?"

Only then did Yang Chuxia get up, and at machine-gun speed she told the whole story from beginning to end. "Your Majesty, that Madam Situ has gone way too far. Even if our words didn’t get along, she was the one who provoked things first. But how could she use such shameless filth to slander Qingqing? Luckily my Qingqing is blessed, or if he really ended up marrying that Xiaoyu, what would his whole life become, oh!"

Hearing this, Baili Yan cursed Madam Situ half to death in his heart—simply brainless.

The Empress, having received the news, also came over. Standing outside the door, she heard all of Yang Chuxia’s words, and in her heart she wished her elder brother would immediately divorce Madam Situ—always stirring up trouble.

If you want to scheme and frame someone, no one can stop you, but the point is you’d better make sure you won’t get caught.

Now it was great: if Yang Chuxia had come into the palace, it definitely meant she’d gotten hold of evidence.

Sure enough, she then said, "All of this was personally said by Madam Situ’s distant niece Xiaofei, and that Xiaoyu also confirmed it."
