Chapter 66 Ingratitude
Several other members of the Ye clan also echoed when they heard the words.

They didn't know the stakes at first, but they didn't understand how serious the matter was until the Xue family made it clear.

If such a woman stays in the Ye Mansion, wouldn't it be insulting to other people's reputation, causing people to criticize for no reason, if it spreads out, I'm afraid they will also be laughed at.

It's better to get married early and go far away, so as not to hurt the Ye family.

Seeing several members of the Ye clan singing together, Ye Zhaoyan was furious.

These people only dared to humiliate her so recklessly because they thought that she had become an abandoned child and had no other possibility.

"What do you mean by that? Could it be that Ye's reputation depends on marrying a woman?" Ye Zhaoyan scolded angrily.

Several members of the Ye clan heard the words, their complexions darkened, and they avoided answering: "No matter who you marry into, you can't humiliate my Ye clan."

"Our Ye family, we can't lose face."

"We can't shame the entire Ye family because of your personal grievances."

Ye Zhaoyan sneered in his heart, these people are really good at talking big!
If it wasn't for his own self-interest, how could he have worked so hard to come here "with awe-inspiring righteousness"?
She, Ye Zhaoyan, doesn't like this.

She glanced at them coldly, and said indifferently: "I really admire the uncles for protecting the face of the Ye family. Don't forget, this Ye family's surname is Ye, not Xue!"

Ye Zhaoyan's words hit everyone's feet.

It was because they were greedy for the benefits promised by the Xue family that they came to this muddy water.

If it was before, maybe they would be afraid of such remarks, worrying that their reputation would be affected.But now, they are not afraid at all.

They have already been reminded by the Xue family that if Ye Zhaoyan's scandal is exposed this time, I am afraid that the mother and daughter of the Ye family will no longer be able to gain a foothold in Jindu, but the son-in-law of the Xue family can still occupy everything in the Ye mansion!
In their eyes, Ye Zhaoyan was already a worthless pawn.

"Zhaoyan, you don't need to be quick with your tongue here, what we say is the truth." Ye Xuwei said coldly: "I know you don't want to accept this marriage, but I hope you can take care of yourself and get married with peace of mind , don’t cause trouble for Ye Fu again. Otherwise, we elders won’t forgive you!”

"Girl Zhaoyan, you're going to get married sooner or later, so you should obediently prepare for your marriage!"

Ye Zhaoyan looked at the strange relatives in front of him, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.

These people are nothing more than a group of scumbags. If there is no backing of Ye Shi, what qualifications do these relatives have to stand in front of her?

Are these people worthy to be her elders?
Thinking of this, Ye Zhaoyan laughed angrily, "Don't forget that your current status is all given by my grandfather."

There is no lack of families who inherit titles in Jin Dynasty, but the ancestors of these aristocratic families have many civil positions, and what is passed down to future generations is nothing more than a vain decency.

The supreme glory of the Ye family is unusual.

This honor came from the hard work of General Ye with his own hands.

During the reign of the late emperor, General Ye worked conscientiously and devoted himself to the imperial court. He was the right arm of the late emperor.

Moreover, the ancestors of the Ye family were Gods of War of a generation. They fought on the battlefield all their lives and established a great reputation. They are the generation of real generals!
After Ye Zhao's words fell, the elders of the clan suddenly showed shock.

"Zhaoyan, what's your attitude?"

"Presumptuous, who allows you to be disrespectful to your uncles?" Mrs. Xue shouted coldly, "You haven't pleaded guilty to the elders!"

When the other clansmen heard the words, they immediately went up to the pole: "It's so disrespectful, it really lacks discipline!"

"Why should I apologize to them? If there is no grandfather, you are nothing now! It is not your turn to talk about my marriage!" Ye Zhaoyan's voice was loud and powerful, and every word was sonorous.

Her words were like a heavy hammer hitting the chests of everyone, causing the faces of several clan elders to turn red instantly, turning blue and purple.

Ye Zhaoyan was telling them that they had everything they have now because of General Ye's glory!
"You, you." Several clan elders were so irritated by her words that they couldn't speak, and it took a long time for them to utter a complete sentence, "Ye Zhaoyan, you are the daughter of the Ye family after all, how can you be so rude!"

Ye Zhaoyan didn't want to get entangled with them, and said coldly: "I don't need you to worry about my marriage, I have my own ideas."

When Mrs. Xue heard the words, she immediately felt troublesome. Those words seemed to be accusing Sang Huai, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

After thinking for a moment, she frowned and said, "Zhaoyan, you are not young. If this matter gets out, you may not be able to find someone for a while. Grandma doesn't want to see you delay your youth, so please think about it carefully." Clearly, after the wedding date is set, grandma will allow you to live until the wedding date."

Mrs. Xue's words caused other members of the Ye clan to nod their heads frequently.

This statement is very reasonable!

They were exposed by Ye Zhaoyan, and the remaining guilt in their hearts was gone at this moment, and they wished Ye Zhaoyan would leave quickly!
Xue Huaitan was secretly happy, this way, it would save him any more talking.

However, he still maintained a caring look on his face, and he comforted him, "Zhaoyan, you don't have to worry too much. When you become the daughter-in-law of the Ji family, you will have more opportunities to get together with your mother in the future, father." They will often send chariots and horses to pick you up. "

Ye Zhaoyan looked coldly at Xue Huaidan's hypocritical face, feeling increasingly disgusted in his heart.

On the surface, she looked concerned, but behind her back she wanted to put her to death and hurry up.

She knew in her heart that if she agreed to this marriage, there might be no room for turning around in the future.

"I refuse this marriage." Ye Zhaoyan said coldly.

When the members of the Ye family heard the words, their faces suddenly became embarrassed.

I didn't expect Ye Zhaoyan to be soft and hard.

Old Madam Xue's anger surged into her heart in an instant, she closed her eyes and calmed down, and said impatiently: "Huaitan, you send someone to Ji's house to take care of it, and Zhaoyan will go over there with a nod."

When Ye Fugui heard this, tears could no longer hold back from welling up in his eyes.

"Mother, Zhaoyan hasn't reached the age of Ji, how can you marry at will?" There was accusation and indignation in her pair of beautiful eyes.

Mrs. Ye glared at Ye Fugui, and reprimanded in a cold voice: "Isn't this all because of you? I said earlier, I want you to discipline your daughter well, don't let her spend all day doing nothing but dancing. There is no ladylike appearance in the matter of knives and guns! You just refused to listen, but now things are like this!"

When Ye Fugui heard the words, shock and pain appeared on his face, and tears fell down uncontrollably: "Mother! What do you mean by this, this matter is clearly someone else's plan to plot us!"

Every word carries a deep grievance, as if he has suffered a great injustice.

"Hmph! Others plotted against you. Could it be that Ye Zhaoyan was also plotted against by being held in Ji Sinian's arms?" Mrs. Xue snorted coldly. , how could she cause such trouble? She has done something wrong herself, but she still has to blame it on others!"

Seeing Ye Fugui's weak expression with tears in his eyes, Mrs. Xue felt even more upset.

This daughter-in-law usually dresses up like a saint, with a noble and unearthly appearance.Now, because of her words, she started to cry in public, it's really ignorant!
