She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

Madam Song’s words were shameless enough, yet not to mention how much Qi Yourong and Madam Song had filially served their parents, but to actually use this filial piety as a bargaining chip with her own brother was even more despicable.

Since the conversation had reached the point of no pleasantries, things became much easier to deal with.

Qi Younian sneered, "Little sister-in-law, I admit that not showing enough filial piety before our parents was my mistake, but I never spent the family’s silver on my marriage, and now that I have returned, I haven’t asked to divide the house and farm property left by our parents. There isn’t much farmland in the Qi family, just seven acres. As the eldest brother with a larger family, I received only three acres. The youngest brother, with fewer mouths to feed, got four acres. The eldest lives in the old house of our parents, and the youngest’s house was newly built with our parents’ money when we divided the property, complete with a main and side rooms—quite spacious. I’m not wrong, am I?"

Madam Song was internally shocked and her gaze shifted several times between Qi Younian and Ye Xinyan, thinking to herself. Since Qi Younian’s return, he had been busy with the livelihood of the second branch of the Qi family, acting like a good-natured man of few words. Yet unexpectedly, he was surprisingly shrewd, having inquired about the Qi family’s past in such detailed fashion.

Could it be that he spent these days asking Chengzi and got all the information organized, just waiting for her to start a quarrel so he could respond accordingly?

A brief silence ensued at the scene, and Qi Yourong finally saw an opportunity to speak.

"That’s more like it! When we divided the household, as the elder brother, I was considerate of the youngest and so I accepted our parents’ division. You’re my second brother, aren’t you? How can you be so calculative towards me? I didn’t mean to neglect your needs; indeed, our family has fewer people. You didn’t mention anything to me, how could I be blamed for this?"

Ye Xinyan couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.
