Chapter 1981: Chapter 1981: Of Course, It Must Be Protected

Even Old Madam Luo knew that this matter could not be directly exposed, but had to be suppressed secretly against the Yue Clan, to make Yue Chongming understand what it was all about—who could possibly have made things clear to her?

"Mother, over the past year, you are aware of the Luo Clan pressuring the Yue Clan, aren’t you?" Yue Chong, seeing that his own mother did not speak, asked again.

Hearing his words, Old Madam Yue merely glanced at him indifferently and said nothing.

As the ruling lady of the Yue Clan, how couldn’t she know about such a major incident that happened within the family?

If she truly did not know, then just as Luo Mianyi had said, she might as well hand over the power to manage the household; that would spare the Yue Clan any further trouble.

Yue Chong, observing his mother’s demeanor, knew that his conjecture was correct.

"Then, Mother, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

He looked at his mother with some difficulty and asked.

Could it be necessary to hand over Luo Mianyi, the lady of the Yue Clan and his wife, to Old Madam Luo?

Obviously, that was impossible.

Even if Luo Mianyi were not that good, she was still the mother of his two children. What’s more, Luo Mianyi was his wife; if her wrongdoings were indeed to be laid bare, what would he, the head of the family, become?

Therefore, these issues had to continue to be dealt with in secret, without causing any further major disturbances.

"What do you think should be done?" Old Madam Yue asked in return.

"This..."

Yue Chong’s face was full of troubles, and his eyes wandered guiltily before he finally managed to speak weakly.

"Mother, Mianyi is after all the mother of Ze’er and Hao’er, as well as the wife of me, the head of the family. If anything should happen to her, the Yue Clan would be sullied. If she can be protected, naturally she must be."

After all, Luo Mianyi had been his wife for so many years; he couldn’t bear to kick her while she was down.

"Your words do have some merit," Old Madam Yue took a deep breath and replied.

She did not care what final outcome Luo Mianyi would meet; however, she had a few grandsons and also had to consider the face of the Yue Clan. It wouldn’t be right to air all the dirty laundry in public.

And besides, even Old Madam Luo had not put this matter out in the open.

At the end of the day, Old Madam Luo still took into account the face of the Luo Family, considering that Luo Mianyi had come from the Luo Clan.

Moreover, there was Chushui. In this affair, the person who was in the most difficult position was undoubtedly Chushui. She really did not know whether the decision to place Chushui by Luo Mianyi’s side, acknowledging her as a mother, was right or wrong.

"That’s right, Mother also thinks I’m correct, doesn’t she?"

Yue Chong, feeling the support of his mother, immediately found confidence.

"Qiu Yi has been gone for so many years now, we can’t just sacrifice the living for someone who’s dead, can we? Presumably, if Qiu Yi were still alive, she wouldn’t want Chushui and Mianyi to be troubled, after all, no matter what, Mianyi is also her younger aunt."

Furthermore, this world inherently involves one person killing another; it’s not uncommon to see siblings fighting to the death over personal disputes.

"What nonsense are you spouting there?"

Old Madam Yue, hearing his words, immediately looked displeased and scolded him sternly.

"Qiu Yi choosing you in the past must’ve been a blunder. You are a scoundrel, simply inhuman!"

"I..."

Yue Chong, hearing his own mother’s harsh scolding, was completely dumbfounded.

What had happened to him; what had he said wrong?
