Seeing Ling'er's anxious appearance, Ye Yutong frowned and felt a very bad premonition in her heart.

Xiaolan held Ling'er and saw that her legs were trembling, pressing her on the chair. "Ling'er, what's wrong? Don't scare the lady! If you have something to do, don't worry, what are you afraid of if there is a lady?"

Ling'er looked at Ye Yutong in panic, "Miss, it's not good. The third aunt ran to the old lady to complain and said that you had sneaked out of the mansion and had a tryst with the man. Miao family... Miao family...!"

"What's wrong with the Miao family?" Ye Yutong sat up with a serious expression and endured the pain in her butt.

Ling'er bit her lip, "Miaojia sent someone to say that she would break the engagement with you, Miss!"

"What?" Xiaolan's legs trembled, and his hands holding Ling'er trembled. "Miss, what should I do?"

Ye Yutong's heart skipped a beat, "Don't worry, Ling'er, let me first talk about what happened to the third concubine?"

Xiaolan poured Ling'er a glass of water to suppress her fear, "Tell me slowly, don't be anxious."

Ling'er took a sip of water to stabilize his mind, "Miss, I was called by my wife today to teach Cai'er embroidery in her room. When the lady saw that I was teaching me, she said she would give me a first-class maid."

"Tell me the point!" Xiaolan told Ling'er not to be anxious, but she was in a hurry.

"When I came out of my wife's room, I saw Madam Lin in the wife's yard hurriedly telling her that the third aunt had gone to the old lady's yard. I heard that the third aunt and the old lady complained that you had sneaked out of the mansion and acted intimately on the street with a man and were still being carried by a man. The old lady was already angry and was about to bring someone to ask the lady for a clear question."

"The third aunt talks nonsense!" Xiao Lan was so angry that her face turned blue. "Miss, the third aunt mentioned to her last time that she wanted the third lady to marry into the Miao family with the lady as a concubine for the eldest son of the Miao family. She was rejected by the wife at that time. The third aunt must have a grudge and deliberately slandered the lady for her reputation as a bad lady!"

If Ye Yutong hadn't gone out today, she would definitely insist that the third aunt spread rumors and made trouble, but she did have close contact with a man on the street today. Did the third aunt send someone to follow her secretly?

"Ling'er, let's talk about the Miao family sending someone to break the engagement!" Although Ye Yutong and Miao Xingran had no emotional foundation, it was not a trivial matter that she, the eldest daughter of a prominent family, was dismissed from the engagement.

Although Sucheng is big, the news of the Ye family being dismissed by the Miao family even more. When the reputation of her being dismissed will be spread, not only will her reputation be damaged, but even the Ye family will be disgraced with her.

"Miss, I heard that it was the eldest son of the Miao family who regretted the marriage in person. The second son of the Miao family who came to break the engagement!" Ling'er's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally she lowered her head and dared not look at Ye Yutong.

A sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on Ye Yutong's lips, "He wants to break off the engagement? It's better, let's do it!"

"Miss!" Xiaolan and Ling'er both looked at Ye Yutong in surprise.

Ye Yutong sat in front of the bronze mirror wearing shoes, "Help me comb my hair, I want to see what the Miao family and the third concubine are trying to target me at the same time!"

She sneaked out of the mansion today and only saw her third sister Ye Jiaolan. Ye Jiaolan is two years younger than her. The time when Miao Xingran came to the mansion was seen by Ye Jiaolan. Since then, Ye Jiaolan has dreamed of marrying Miao Xingran as a concubine. This time, the third concubine first ran to the old lady to slander, and then the Miao family sent someone to break the engagement. If they didn't matter, Ye Yutong wouldn't believe it.

Now she doubts two things. One is that Miao Xingran has long wanted to break off the engagement with her but can't find a reason. Today, she has been planning to break off the engagement by taking advantage of her leaving the house. The second is what deal Miao Xingran and the third concubine have had, otherwise why did the two of them act so consistently?

After Xiaolan helped Ye Yutong comb her hair, Ye Yutong stood up and walked out of the room. Although her butt hurt, in order not to be underestimated, she raised her chest and raised her head to take out the aura of the eldest daughter of the Ye family.

Ye Yutong went to her mother's room first, and Mrs. Ye was angry and annoyed when she saw her daughter appear.

"Yutong, tell me what happened today? After hearing the third aunt's words, the old lady was going to your yard to question it, but the old lady and your father went to the front yard if they didn't come to find her, she would also go to find you!"

"Mom, my daughter is doing well and sitting upright. She has lived for sixteen years and has been in good manners and honest! Why did the third aunt slander her daughter in front of her grandmother? You should know!"

After hearing Ye Yutong's words, Mrs. Ye frowned, "Yutong, you understand what you mean!"

Ye Yutong grabbed Mrs. Ye's hand, "My daughter can't marry Miao Xingran, but her daughter cannot be broken off by him on the charge of lewdness. Didn't he ask his younger brother to break the engagement? He asked his father to send the second son of the Miao family back first. The marriage between our two families was a witness to the prefect. Even if we broke off the engagement, the prefect must be present! And Miao Xingran must come forward in person!"

"Yutong, what do you mean?" Mrs. Ye knew that her daughter had always been very smart and could support the back house of a big family under her own teaching. Although she was slightly inferior to those concubines on weekdays, she was definitely much more calm than the concubines in the mansion when she encountered difficulties.

"Mom, my daughter will not marry a man who breaks the engagement without asking any questions, and my daughter will not let some villains ruin their reputations in secret. Mom, just stand on your side and support your daughter with your mistress! Will my brother go home today?"

Ye Yutong thought of her elder brother Ye Yi, who had always loved her. As the only son of the Ye family, Ye Yi passed the exam for the top scorer when she was eighteen years old. Later, she was personally named the commander-in-chief by the emperor and served in Sucheng. In addition to having Mrs. Ye, her brother was also her greatest backer.

"Your brother will go home in the evening. Don't worry, Yutong. Although the old lady is angry, she will not punish you without asking any questions. The third aunt wants to slander you, but she has no evidence. At that time, my mother will punish her for slandering her legitimate daughter for you, so that she can't afford to take it!"

Ye Yutong nodded, "Mom, send someone to tell my father that if the Miao family wants to break off the engagement, they have to wait for the prefect to be present. Although our Ye family is not as rich as the Miao family, it is not easy to bully!"

Mrs. Ye nodded and immediately asked Caier beside her to notify Mr. Ye.

The second young master of the Miao family heard that Mr. Ye would ask the prefect to be a witness. He knew that it was not feasible to break off the engagement today. He clasped his fists and said he would go back to the mansion and wait for news, and then left with the Miao family.

"It's outrageous!" Mr. Ye slapped the table in anger, "This Miao family is too unfair to take my Ye family seriously!"

"Master, it's not that the eldest lady, she did something shameful outside, otherwise how could the Miao family break off the engagement if they say they break off the engagement!" The third aunt's slender phoenix eyes slightly raised, and her voice turned softer.

The old lady looked ugly, "Shut up, you are everywhere!"

The third aunt turned her eyelids and stopped making a sound. She stood behind Mr. Ye and pressed her shoulders.

"Go and call the eldest lady over!" The old lady's voice was full of anger, and she asked someone to shout Ye Yutong.

"Grandma, who made you so angry?" Ye Yutong led Xiaolan and Madam Ye arrived. Seeing her father and her grandmother's chests fluctuated violently, she even rejected the Miao people in her heart.

"Oh, the eldest lady is here! Is the dragon boat competition fun?" The third aunt was sarcastic.

Mrs. Ye glared at the third aunt, "Things are unruly, the master and the old lady have nothing to say, where can you speak? Come on, slap your mouth!"

"Master!" The third aunt hid behind Mr. Ye.

After the second young master of the Miao family left, the third lady Ye Jiaolan, who walked out from behind the screen, first greeted Mrs. Ye and Ye Yutong in a delicate way, and then pleaded for the third aunt. Although he was a concubine, Ye Jiaolan was a daughter that Master Ye liked more.

"Madam, today's affairs are already a headache, forget it!" Mr. Ye spoke, and the third aunt raised her chin proudly.

Mrs. Ye was so angry that her body shivered. Although the third concubine was favored, the master never gave her face in public when she was managing the back house. Today was good, she actually protected the third concubine in public.

Ye Yutong grabbed Mrs. Ye's hand, "Dad, my mother was also angry by the third aunt. Today, the Miao family broke up with the engagement, which was rude. As a member of the Ye family, the third aunt not only did not speak up to protect the reputation of the Ye family, but also helped outsiders pay attention to the daughter. Not to mention that her daughter would not do anything that would shame the Ye family. Even if her daughter was so unbearable, the third aunt should not bend her elbow out!"

As soon as she said that, Mr. Ye and the old lady frowned. Ye Yutong said nothing wrong. Before she found out the truth, the third aunt insisted that Ye Yutong was hooking up with someone outside, for fear that others would spread the matter everywhere. Not only would Ye Yutong's reputation be damaged, but if the Miao family really quits marriage, it would also leave the Ye family's face without a place!

When Ye Yutong saw that her father and grandmother were hesitating, she immediately added another fire, "San Auntie, I was taking a nap in the room today, why would you say I went out to hook up with a man? Also, today is a coincidence. Why did you come to your grandmother to complain, and the Miao family came to break the engagement? What I knew was a coincidence, and those who didn't know thought you and the Miao family had agreed to!"

The old lady looked at the third concubine in a wrong way. The old lady from this famous family has been for her descendants all her life. When she first heard the third concubine say Ye Yutong, she thought it was Ye Yutong's fault. Now after listening to Ye Yutong's words, she realized how the third concubine learned it? Why did the third concubine come to the door just after saying this Miao family?

Could it be that the third aunt really colluded with the Miao family behind his back? Otherwise, why did the third aunt want to give up the marriage when the second son of the Miao family broke the engagement?
