She Became A Downfall Noble Lady

In fact, Ji Chengru was very reluctant to believe it was true, but the events that happened today at the Shi Mansion had been recounted publicly by a young maid from the Shi Mansion. Although it was difficult to claim every word was accurate, given that Ye Xinyi and so many others present had no objections, it could only mean the account was nearly factual, with at most a few discrepancies.

He refused to believe that with Ye Xinyi’s intelligence, she did not know what kind of consequences shouting those privately discussed words in public would bring about.

Moreover, what his mother had said about the past of Duke An’s Mansion filled him with sorrow. To put it plainly, when his parents proposed this marriage, they were actually speculating, banking on the fact that none of the four brothers could uphold their prestigious household. They were hoping to rely on the hereditary position of Duke An’s Mansion to support them, waiting for a talented and intelligent offspring in the next generation.

In other words, his parents were aware that this marriage to Duke An’s Mansion was flawed, they just had not expected Ye Xinyi to do something that would disgrace the Ji Mansion in public.

Ye Xinyi also stared blankly at Ji Chengru, who had mercilessly pierced through this veil of pretense, leaving her with no way to defend herself, uncertain how to do so.

Ji Chengru’s gaze fell on the teacup, and he was lost in thought for quite a while before he sighed deeply and said dejectedly, "Mother doesn’t trust you to raise the child. It’s late today, so she has only sent two wet nurses to stay in Brother Sheng’s room, but first thing tomorrow morning, Brother Sheng will be taken to Mother’s room to be raised."

"No!" Ye Xinyi couldn’t care for anything else and suddenly jumped up, "Brother Sheng is my child, my own flesh and blood; you can’t take him away."

As she spoke, Ye Xinyi, disregarding her image, grabbed Ji Chengru’s arm and shook it wildly, crying and pleading, "Husband, I beg you, I beg you, Brother Sheng is my life; I can live without my own life, but not without Brother Sheng."

Ji Chengru looked at Ye Xinyi, and his wife no longer had her usual grace and literary charm. Instead, she seemed delirious, her makeup mottled and her vehement shaking causing her hair bun to come loose, hairpins askew.

Ji Chengru felt sorrow in his heart at the sight of Ye Xinyi. What was the need for this? Was it so difficult to simply live a good life? Or was it that he had treated her poorly, or maybe she was discontent with her life since marrying him, leading her to create such disturbances?
