The scumbag was secretly having an affair, while I was openly having an affair with the prince.

Chapter 124 An unexpected gain

You Jianchuan lowered his hand and sneered, "Fine! We've had enough of having elder brothers and sisters-in-law like you! Since you're so heartless, then today our family will leave the Marquis's mansion. From now on, we'll be separate in life and death, and have nothing to do with each other anymore!"

Ye Gengxin was somewhat surprised to see the two brothers break off their relationship.

He wanted You Jianchuan to start his own household, but he hadn't found an opportunity to persuade him. Unexpectedly, before he could even speak, You Jianchuan himself proposed to break with the Marquis's mansion.

He looked at his three children.

Ye Shiting gestured to him with his eyes to calm down.

Ye Shijun stepped forward, helped You Jianchuan back two steps, and said with a smile, "Second Uncle, you are too tolerant. If it were me, I would have turned against them long ago! It's okay, don't be afraid. After you leave the Marquis's mansion, I will protect you!"

Ye Shishu lowered her head and smiled.

My second brother really knows how to add fuel to the fire...

Just as she joked, You Jianbin and Wen Shi both turned red in the eyes upon hearing Ye Shijun's biased words.

You Jianbin pointed towards the gate and roared at You Jianchuan and Madam Ma, "Get out! My You family doesn't have traitors like you. Get out now!"

Like Ma, You Jianchuan's eyes welled up with tears.

From childhood to adulthood, he always tolerated his elder brother, but his brother was always harsh towards him. After his brother inherited the title of marquis, he became even more arrogant.

He still remembered that when his daughter was born, he was out making a living while his wife was giving birth at the Marquis's residence. His sister-in-law, Wen, didn't even bother to call a midwife. It was only when their younger sister, Yueqin, heard that her second sister-in-law was about to give birth that she rushed over to help, thus saving his wife and daughter from dying in childbirth...

Since their father passed away, the family of four has never used a single copper coin from the Marquis's mansion; they have to provide for themselves entirely. Tell me, what's the point of them staying in such a family?

Ye Shijun's words were like adding fuel to the fire for You Jianbin and the Wen family, but for You Jianchuan, they were a source of strength, making him even more determined to break with this unscrupulous couple.

"Come on, madam, let's go back and pack our things!"

After speaking, he grabbed Ma's hand and rushed out of the hall.

Upon seeing this, You Hongxin quickly chased after him.

Then, Wen pointed at Ye Gengxin's family and said fiercely, "You are not welcome here. Please leave!"

Ye Gengxin wasn't angry. He simply said to his son and daughter, "Go and help your second uncle and aunt carry things."

"Alright!" Ye Shijun immediately ran out.

Ye Shiting and Ye Shishu exchanged a glance, then smiled and followed.

They appeared to be helping You Jianchuan's family move, but along the way they discreetly observed the situation at the Hou residence.

Disappointingly, nothing suspicious was found at the Marquis's residence.

You Jianbin and Madam Ma lived in the most secluded courtyard of the Marquis's mansion. When the three siblings entered the courtyard, they couldn't help but frown.

Not only is the place small and dilapidated, but every piece of furniture inside is old. If you were to go out and say that this is where the second master of the Marquis's mansion lives, people would probably laugh their heads off.

"Husband, do we really have to move out?" Ma asked, her eyes red.

"Move!" You Jianchuan gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we have to sleep under a bridge, we're moving out!"

Mrs. Ma tearfully packed up her belongings.

This was the first time You Hongxin had seen her father lose his temper like this, so she considerately stepped forward to comfort him, "Father, there's no need to get angry with your uncle and aunt, they're just like that. Even if they don't kick us out today, I'll find a chance to persuade you to move out."

You Jianchuan raised his hand and patted his daughter's shoulder, saying with a mixture of relief and self-reproach, "Xin'er, it's all your father's fault for being incompetent, causing you and the three of you to suffer so many years of injustice."

You Hongxin shook her head. "Father, it's not your fault. It's because my uncle and aunt don't know how to behave. Besides, with all the shady things my aunt has done behind the scenes, the Marquis's reputation will be completely ruined sooner or later. My elder brother is going to enter officialdom. If he stays in the Marquis's mansion, he will definitely be implicated in the future. For my brother's future and reputation, even if they beg us to stay, we have to leave!"

You Jianchuan frowned and asked, "What has your aunt done this time?"

At this point, You Hongxin naturally wouldn't give the Wen family any face, so she told him what she and her daughter had seen the night before.

Before she could finish speaking and before You Jianchuan could even berate the Wen family, the three Ye siblings squeezed into the room and surrounded the father and daughter.

Ye Shishu grabbed You Hongxin's hand and asked excitedly, "Cousin, you said Auntie met a man at night, what did that man look like?"

You Hongxin looked at them blankly, not understanding why they were so excited, but still replied, "That person was wearing a white mask, so we don't know his true face. However, his martial arts skills were extremely high, and he flew away in an instant."

The three siblings looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise.

That person must be Hua Ping!

"Big cousin, second cousin, cousin Shu'er, do you... know that person?" You Hongxin asked them, completely bewildered.

"We not only know that person, but we also want to catch him and take his life!" Ye Shijun said hatefully.

Seeing that the father and daughter were at a loss, Ye Shiting changed the subject and urged, "Second Uncle, let us help you move out first. I have a house under my name on Guixi Street, not far from the General's Mansion. You can move there."

You Jianchuan said embarrassedly, "How could I let you arrange accommodations for us..."

Ye Shiting smiled slightly, "Second Uncle, there's no need to be so formal. You can stay as long as you like without any problem."

Ye Shijun also said with a smile, "I'll have Hao Fu call some people to move the things right away!"

Before turning to leave, he quickly gave Ye Shishu a wink.

Ye Shishu understood and immediately left the room, saying he was going to find the toilet.

As soon as the brother and sister stepped out of the room, they tacitly leaped onto the roof and headed towards the back of the main courtyard—

They came to the Marquis's residence today because they suspected that Ninth Aunt's disappearance was related to Wen Shi.

After all, Wen's family has Hua Ping behind them!

Now that they have tracked down Hua Ping, they certainly won't let him go!
