The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife

Chapter 2711: Chapter 42: Aftermath

Madam Situ woke up that night, but she stubbornly refused to come to the Ye Family to apologize, nor was she willing to go to the estate. She cried and made a scene at home for three days.

Until there was a new decree from the court, her son, Heir Situ, once again lost his current position. The reason was that he had once sold an official title to a wealthy merchant. This was reported by an Imperial Censor, but Situ father and son both knew that this information must have been leaked by the Ye Family.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for an Imperial Censor to investigate so thoroughly events from six or seven years ago.

The father and son knew that the Ye Family was displeased, displeased that Madam Situ had still not gone to apologize and that she was still staying in the mansion.

Poor her son, last time he was implicated and lost his position because of Liu Cheng’s matter, and this time he was again implicated by his mother.

State Duke Situ knew it was useless for him to try to persuade her, because once he spoke, Madam Situ would threaten with a knife to her throat.

Helpless, he could only send Heir Situ to persuade her, "Mother, could you think about your son? Previously, with all your fuss, you lost your status as a Madam of Imperial Decree, and even got yourself banished from the Capital City. Have you considered whose domain the harem will be in the future? Now, if you continue to defy orders and cause trouble, father has already grown tired of you because of this matter. Do you want him to become tired of your son as well? The family still has Third, and under Third there are even younger brothers, father is not yet old, if he truly becomes tired of me as well, will the heir position still be mine?"

Madam Situ angrily said, "Those sons of those little hussies are all concubine-born sons, how can they compare to you? Eldest, do you also despise your mother? Do you really want your mother to leave the mansion?"

Heir Situ replied in a low voice, "Mother, whether one is a legitimate or concubine-born son is just a matter of father’s whim. You are no longer a Madam of Imperial Decree, if someone truly wants to replace you, no one can stop it. If father establishes another Madam Ping, what will you do, and what will I do?"

"Mother, your son already holds no position in the court. Do you still not understand why? Do you want father to also be expelled from the court and watch our Situ Family decline from then on?"

After hearing this, Madam Situ was silent for a long time, finally leaving two rows of clear tears, "That wench Yang Chuxia!"

"Mother..." Heir Situ frowned, mother is always so thoughtless, how can plotting against someone be done merely through words? "Mother, there is a saying that a gentleman takes his revenge ten years late, please endure for now. Wait until one day when I become the master of the household, I will definitely avenge the wrongs of today for you."

"And your second brother!"

"Yes, and Second Brother, we will remember Second Brother’s vendetta for now."

Madam Situ nodded, "Alright, I will go to the Ye Family to apologize tomorrow! I will go directly to the estate after visiting the Ye Family."

Upon obtaining her agreement, Heir Situ breathed a sigh of relief, finally resolving the task given by father. At this time, he must protect his only possession. Without a position in the court, he must protect his heir position, for as long as he has a title, his own children will have no worries in the future.

Since Madam Situ agreed to apologize, she did not linger. The next day, she, State Duke Situ, and Heir Situ all went to Prince An’s Mansion.

At first, Madam Situ thought Yang Chuxia would definitely use words to poke at her at this time, but to her surprise, Yang Chuxia smiled and chatted with her, as if she was only explaining a small matter.

In the study, Heir Situ apologized to Ye Rongqing on behalf of his mother. Although it wasn’t Madam Situ herself apologizing directly to Ye Rongqing, it wasn’t much different, and this matter was thus resolved.
