Chapter two merged.

-----------------

Old Madam Zhou glanced at Chuxia before answering Mei Xiaofeng’s question, "No one explicitly said they came to the Zhou family specifically for Xiaomi, but the implication was quite obvious."

The elderly lady wasn’t surprised that Mei Xiaofeng knew Ye Meiru; as Mei Yitong’s sister, it would have been strange if she didn’t know her.

"Grandma, do you still like her that much?" Seeing that Old Madam Zhou was observing her expression again, Chuxia bluntly asked, considering her age, if she acted too magnanimous, it would actually be abnormal.

Speaking matter-of-factly, when Zhou Mikang proposed to her, she had not a shred of affection for him, she agreed for the sake of her parents and her own survival in that era.

But what he did afterwards moved her a little.

In her view, her relationship with him was just a transaction, so she never prepared for him to consider everything for her and her family.

But, he really did so, and not only did he do it, but he did more than others. His respect for her and her family truly touched her heart.

But, to fall in love with him, there was still a very long way to go, so Ye Meiru’s arrival didn’t make her feel the slightest bit of jealousy or pique, just curiosity.

However, such behavior of hers would probably not sit well with Old Madam Zhou and Lin Yanqiu; how could such an excellent grandson (son) become insignificant to her?

Therefore, showing a little jealousy appropriately was just a way to coax the elders.

"Grandma just pities her..." Old Madam Zhou pulled Chuxia closer to her, affectionately holding her hand, "Rest assured, grandma is not senile yet."

"She doesn’t deserve pity." Mei Xiaofeng interrupted, her eyes flashing with uncontainable anger, "Grandma, today is my first visit, and I shouldn’t be speaking out of turn, but since I encountered it, I can’t pretend I didn’t see it.

When we were moving, I accidentally found a letter Ye Meiru wrote to my brother, in which she said she actually liked my brother and was only with Third Brother Zhou because it was arranged by their parents. She also said that if my brother didn’t fight for her, it meant he didn’t love her enough."

"Were it not for her, why would my brother and Third Brother Zhou always be at odds? Someone like her wants all the men in the world fighting over her until they’re battered and bleeding; why would you pity such a woman? I think she hasn’t even received the punishment she deserves!"

Old Madam Zhou’s brows furrowed slightly: "Did you ask your brother about this?"

"Of course I did..." Mei Xiaofeng sighed softly, "My brother scolded me, angry that I read his letter without his permission. That was the first time he ever scolded me, but I know he was not upset because I read his letter but because I called Ye Meiru shameless.

At that time, my brother firmly believed that Ye Meiru liked him, so after she broke up with Third Brother Zhou, he was truly determined to be with her."

"Unexpectedly, just when my brother was eagerly looking forward to a happy life with Ye Meiru, her foreign boyfriend showed up. Ye Meiru lied to my brother, saying the foreigner was just an admirer, not her boyfriend."

"My brother trusted her so much that he went to fight the foreigner, and as a result, things escalated and my brother was arrested. And Ye Meiru? She quietly left with the foreigner."

"Later I found out that it was Grandpa Ye who found her disgraceful and kicked her out, but no matter what, she knew why my brother fought the foreigner, why couldn’t she have testified for my brother before leaving?"

"You know, grandpa almost disowned my brother at that time. If it weren’t for my brother consistently doing well, and my parents along with my uncles and aunts pleading for him, he might have really been ruined!"

"Grandma, shouldn’t someone who does something wrong bear the responsibility? Why would you pity such a woman?"

Old Madam Zhou had never heard anyone mention these things before, so she looked at Lin Yanqiu with skepticism.

"Mom, it’s true. You were not well during that time, and Meiru was the granddaughter-in-law you particularly liked. If you learned of her deeds, that blow..." Lin Yanqiu sighed and did not continue.

Heaven knows how hard it was for her to endure; every time the old lady mentioned Ye Meiru, it felt like a blunt knife tearing at her heart. That woman brought not just harm to her son, but shame as well! If not for concern for the old lady, she wouldn’t have allowed that woman to step back into the Zhou family’s door back then!
