After listening to the reports of Xu Yi and the others, all the elders from the Si Corporation turned solemn .
How many people are eyeing this position of the mistress of the household?
Initially, when Si Ye Han didn't have a woman by his side, everyone lived together in harmony . Who knew that Si Ye Han would bring a stranger into the old residence to meet the old madam all of a sudden, breaking the superficial peace they had .
As they were intimidated by Si Ye Han's power, everyone remained silent about this, but it didn't mean they didn't have any opinions . This kind of discontentment would only gradually intensify over time .
One of the elders sitting on the sofa with a purple teapot in his hand said languidly, "That lady is an outsider, after all - she really didn't have to be dragged into the Si family's disputes . Special assistant Xu's actions were right . There was no problem at all; I agree with what he said . "
The elder turned to look plainly at Ye Wanwan who was standing in the corner . "Since this is the case, now our family has to have internal discussions with classified information, so I request for this lady to be excused . "
Ye Wanwan discreetly glanced at the person speaking .
Each individual in the Si family's internal department was part of a direct line of descendants . The competition between subdivisions was very strong and was divided into many denominations . The person speaking had close relations with the Qin family and was one of Qin Ruo Xi's important supporters .
In the beginning, the woman with the highest potential to be the mistress of the household was Qin Ruo Xi . In order to butter up the Qin family, these people invested in many bargaining chips, had entangled relationships and inextricably linked interests with the Si family . Now that this outsider had suddenly taken up this position, how could they sit back and do nothing?
Furthermore, these people were very good at reading body language - once they saw that the old madam was slightly unsatisfied with her, they grabbed hold of this perfect opportunity to get rid of her .
With just a few words, she was publicly denied her rightful place .
As expected, although the old madam frowned, she didn't say anything .
No big deal - Ye Wanwan had been fearful and on edge these past few days, so she couldn't wait to get some rest . Who cared about the lengthy talks of these people here?
But . . .
Ye Wanwan glanced at Xu Yi . In her previous life, the real traitor tried to cover up for himself so the moment Si Ye Han and the others returned, they immediately made a move on Xu Yi and accused him of being the spy, making him a scapegoat . . .
She had a feeling that even though she changed the course of events by interfering, the Si family still had to thoroughly investigate to find the main culprit for this incident . After the plans of the mastermind failed, there was a high chance they would find someone to take the fall for their crimes .
So, what happened next could very well be the same as in her previous life . . .
Seeing that Ye Wanwan was still standing there unmoving with a brazen expression, the elder's eyes turned icy . "Excuse me, miss, do you have something to say? If not, please leave . "
At this moment, Qin Ruo Xi came to Ye Wanwan's rescue, "Uncle Feng, Miss Ye is Ah-Jiu's girlfriend and also the future mistress of the household . She's not considered an outsider . "
The moment Qin Ruo Xi said that a piercing sneer came from the door, "Tsk, mistress of the household? What a joke! How is she even qualified?"
The elders turned to the girl, "Qin Yu, why are you here?"
"Dad, I'm here to accompany grandma . Just now, I heard you all saying that 9th brother was in danger, yet this shameless woman abandoned him and the others and ran away by herself!" Feng Qin Yu said indignantly .
