Chapter 323 -323: Don’t Blame Her for Losing You?

But Ye Chongzun didn’t let anyone fetch ice to apply to his two sons’ bruises, because he said that “Ye Family children aren’t so delicate.”

How come when it came to Ye Chuyi, the old patriarch wasn’t worried about her being delicate?

Was it because she’d suffered enough hardship outside for twenty-six years? Or was it because she closely resembled their deceased mother?

Ye Chongzun, however, was looking at Ye Chuyi’s hands. He asked her, “Are your hands steadier than the average person’s?”

Ye Chuyi was surprised, “How did you know?”

After she arrived, she hadn’t made any excessive movements, right? How did he know her hands were steady!

“Your grandmother had very steady hands, a pity your mother and your uncles didn’t inherit that trait. Unexpectedly, you’re the one who inherited this advantage.”

Ye Chuyi paused, lifting her own hands to look.

So, steady hands were hereditary; she’d always thought she was just an ordinary lucky person who happened to have a natural talent.

In just a few minutes of conversation, Ye Chongzun mentioned his mother-in-law three times. It was obvious that he had deep feelings for his wife, even though she’d passed away, he still held her in his heart.

Ye Chongzun soon shifted his gaze away. He washed the tea leaves and brewed the tea himself, pouring Ye Chuyi a fresh cup as he asked, “After marrying into the Sheng Family, have any Sheng family members made life difficult for you?”

“No.”

Ye Chuyi answered succinctly, “I don’t see my father-in-law often, but he never made things difficult for me in the few times we met. I see my mother-in-law quite often; she’s very kind and treats me like her own daughter. I have shown filial piety in front of her as well.”

“How does Sheng Tingyuan treat you?”

“He’s very good too, a very qualified husband.”

Ye Chongzun was very satisfied with her reply. He could tell that Ye Chuyi genuinely got along well with the Sheng family members. She hadn’t harbored resentment because she was a substitute bride, nor coveted the Sheng Family’s status as the premier wealthy family.

Not arrogant or impatient, she was characterized by an even temperament and a strong mindset.

Even in their brief interaction, he had already felt, just like Ye Zhengrong said, that she hadn’t been corrupted by the maid and the murderer who raised her. Her composed demeanor was innate and had become all the more pronounced and all the more precious after countless ordeals.

“What do you do for work now?”

“I’m a doctor at Dome.”

“A doctor? Did you study medicine at university? Did the maid who raised you and the murderer allow you to study?”

“Of course, they didn’t allow it, but thankfully, Madam… my mom helped me. The maid who raised me forced me to drop out of school in the first grade. It was my mom who convinced the maid, and that’s how I was able to continue my studies.”

Ye Chongzun was surprised; he wouldn’t have thought that his useless daughter had actually put her kindness to good use for once!

He detected Ye Chuyi’s gratitude and snorted coldly, “If she hadn’t been so stupid, you wouldn’t have been taken away by a maid, and you wouldn’t have only returned to the Ye Family today. You don’t need to thank her!”

Ye Chuyi knew that Ye Jinyu hadn’t returned to the Ye Family for many years, and there must be some complex gratitude and grudges, but she couldn’t help speaking on Ye Jinyu’s behalf, “She’s not stupid, she’s just too kind. I was taken away by the maid, but it’s not her fault. If anyone is to blame, it’s the maid with grand ambitions.”

“You probably don’t know, but when my mom gave birth to me, she lost a lot of blood and was resuscitated for a long time. She was later admitted to the ICU, and Wen Xingye wasn’t by her side. For a maid to switch me with another child was too easy.”

Ye Chongzun frowned; he really didn’t know about this.

Because at that time, Ye Jinyu was on very bad terms with the family. She was committed to Wen Xingye, and even Ye Zhengrong, who had a good relationship with her, stopped contacting her because she wanted to give her entire dowry to Wen Xingye.

The family had no idea when she had the child, let alone that she nearly died during childbirth.

He looked at Ye Chuyi and asked, “You don’t blame your mom for not taking good care of you? For losing you?”

Ye Chuyi shook her head, “Grandfather, I don’t blame her, it’s not her fault. The wrongdoers are the maid and her family who switched me.”

Ye Chongzun’s frown deepened; he feared Ye Chuyi might also have inherited Ye Jinyu’s nature—too soft, too sanctimonious, too foolish!

Thus, he asked, “Then do you hate the maid’s family?”
