594 Evil Is Evil (Part 3)
Gradually, Fen Lan was no longer afraid of the child in the jar. She began to plan for their future. With such a treasure, they would have a good life.
Fen Lan left the village with Yingying. On the way, she met the three brothers of the Ye family. She heard them discussing what to buy for Niuniu.
Yingying said enviously, “How good would it be if I was the girl they were talking about?”
Fen Lan comforted her. “It’s fate that brings us here to meet. I once had a romantic encounter with the Third Master of the Ye family. Although you are not his daughter, if I say you are, then you are!”
Fen Lan brought Yingying and followed the three brothers of the Ye family into an inn. Fen Lan told Yingying that she would pretend to faint later and instructed Yingying to cry to attract their attention.
Yingying nodded. She would listen to her mother because she knew that her mother would not harm her. The two of them had always relied on each other for survival. Everyone could harm her, but her mother would never.
Fen Lan collapsed outside the inn. Yingying cried, shaking her mother and shouting. “Mother, wake up.”
Soon, it attracted a lot of attention.
The three brothers of the Ye family were also curious. Yingying begged everyone to help with tears rolling down her face, but no one was willing to help. Everyone just watched.
The three brothers of the Ye family came forward and sent the mother and daughter to the medical hall. Yingying kowtowed to thank them according to Fen Lan’s instructions, saying that when her mother woke up, she would definitely come to thank them.
The three brothers of the Ye family waved their hands and said that there was no need.
To the three of them, this was just a small thing.
However, they did not know that trouble would follow them after this act of benevolence.
After Fen Lan woke up, she brought Yingying to thank the Ye brothers. Both of them waited outside the inn for the brothers to come out.
As soon as the three Ye brothers came out, Fen Lan was taken aback. Her face was covered in tears, making people around them confused. Fen Lan wiped her tears and opened her mouth a few times before finally blurting out. “You, are you Third Master Ye? Sixteen years ago, you were with me at Wang Hong Restaurant. My name is Fen Lan. Do you still remember me?”
Third Master Ye was immediately stunned. Hearing Fen Lan mention it, he seemed to have recalled that there was really such a thing, so he nodded.
Fen Lan immediately pulled Yingying to kneel down. “Third Master, this is Yingying. She… she’s your daughter. I never thought that we could meet again.”
Third Master Ye panicked. The onlookers watched the commotion and started discussing in a low voice.
First Master Ye and Second Master Ye asked Fen Lan and her daughter to go upstairs. Then, after getting to know the ins and outs of what happened, they understood that Fen Lan had a fling with Ye Laosan and gave birth to a daughter.
She raised her daughter well but fell seriously ill at some point. She didn’t want her daughter to be alone in this world. While she was still alive, she planned to take her daughter to look for her father. If she could find him, she could give her a family to rely on.
If they couldn’t find him, they would submit to their fate.
Since there was really such a thing back then, Third Master Ye had no choice but to bring the mother and daughter back.
However, it was not that Third Master Ye did not have a wife.
The arrival of Fen Lan and her daughter ruined the peace of the family. They were outsiders. The Ye family wanted to chase them away, but Fen Lan and her daughter didn’t want to be chased away.
Therefore, Fen Lan wanted Yingying to feed the treasure in the jar and make the Ye family suffer. She wanted to use this to make the Ye family believe that if they chased the mother and daughter away, disaster would befall them. Everything went smoothly until Liu Sanniang appeared on the scene.
The people of the Ye family seemed to have woken up from a dream. If they had only heard it from Liu Sanniang, they might not have believed it. However, when they saw it with their own eyes, they were shocked beyond words.
Yingying was not Third Master Ye’s child at all, but Fen Lan had indeed had a romantic encounter with Third Master Ye.
Old Madam Ye finally heaved a long sigh of relief and said to Third Master Ye, “Ye Laosan, this is all because of you. You’ve let your wife down. If she doesn’t forgive you, you will have to leave.”
Third Master Ye immediately knelt down and slapped himself twice. “Lin Hua, it’s my fault. I’m a scumbag. I beg you, don’t divorce me.”
When he was young, he earned some money from selling goods, so it was inevitable that he would be arrogant. In a moment of stupidity, he almost caused his family to be ruined. It was useless even if he regretted it.
When Fen Lan and her daughter came knocking on his door, he panicked. However, after all, it was his fault. He could not let an orphan girl wander outside. Now that he understood that this was all a scam, Third Master Ye looked at Yingying as if he wanted to kill her.
He gritted his teeth and said angrily, “As expected, like mother, like daughter. Why are you so vicious?!”
Previously, the Ye family felt guilty for forcing Fen Lan to commit suicide.
But now they understood that Fen Lan was using her death to force them to keep her daughter.
The more Third Master Ye thought about it, the angrier he became.
He pointed at Yingying and said, “My eldest brother spent a tael of silver to hire a matchmaker to find a good family for you. That family has dozens of acres of land. With us giving you dozens of taels of silver as a dowry, you and your mother would have had a good life, but look at what you repaid our good intentions with. You ingrate.”
Yingying’s eyes were sinister. She only hated herself for not being strong enough to defeat Liu Sanniang.
