My Princess Holds Superpowers

Chapter 231: 231 with lingering fear Chapter 231: 231 with lingering fear After all, a day as husband and wife means a hundred days of gratitude, and after so many years of affection, coupled with the passing of much time, Ye Gaoshui’s anger had long since subsided significantly. Seeing Mrs. Zhao in such a pitiful state, he couldn’t help but feel compassion.

Actually, if it weren’t for the several children at home, Ye Gaoshui really would have wanted to divorce Mrs. Zhao.

Having such a wife, even if there were a mountain of gold at home, it wouldn’t be enough for what she’d taken to her parents’ home. Ye Gaoshui truly felt uneasy.

A full 20 taels of silver, he didn’t know where Mrs. Zhao got the courage to take it all back to the Zhao Family without leaving a single bit.

Thinking back on Lady He’s scolding, even Ye Gaoshui felt he deserved it. He was solely focused on living a good life, but alas, although the household was successfully divided, the ones who ended up living well weren’t them but rather the ungrateful wolves of the Zhao Family.

However, with a shift in thought, Ye Gaoshui suddenly felt that, although Mrs. Zhao had suffered quite a bit during this time, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for their own family.

Thinking this, Ye Gaoshui calmed down a bit and asked Mrs. Zhao, “Mrs. Zhao, are you sure you can change this bad habit of taking everything back to your parents? I, Ye Gaoshui, think I’ve treated you well over the years. Other than the few times you took home things to the Zhao Family, I’ve never laid a hand on you. Compared to your sisters who suffered a lot, your days have been not bad, right?”

“Father, I know you’ve been good to me. I know all this, and I promise, I will absolutely not take our things back to the Zhao Family anymore. Please forgive me this one time…” Mrs. Zhao cried pitifully.

“I hope you remember what you’ve said, and that there won’t be a next time. Otherwise, even if mother doesn’t intervene, I, Ye Gaoshui, will not tolerate you anymore!” Ye Gaoshui said ominously.

“Definitely, definitely, I promise, I swear.” Seeing Ye Gaoshui relent, Mrs. Zhao immediately raised her hand to swear.

…

At the doorway, Ye Gaoshui walked in, his face showing distress, and asked Ye Jiu, “Little sister, how is mother?”

“She got some bruises, but fortunately, there’s no harm to her bones,” Ye Jiu replied, feeling relieved.

Lady He was no longer young and couldn’t compare to younger people. If she had injured her bones, it probably wouldn’t have been easy to recover.

“That’s good,” Ye Gaoshui also said relievedly, then added, “I’ll go see mother.”

“Second brother…” Ye Jiu called out to Ye Gaoshui and asked, “How did father deal with Big Sister Dajie?”

“Father originally wanted to arrange for her to rest at elder brother’s place, but sister-in-law seemed reluctant to have her over, so father let her lie down in the firewood shed for now, and he has called for the doctor,” Ye Gaoshui replied.

“Alright, I understand. Go inside, second brother, mother is lying on the kang,” Ye Jiu said.

Ye Dajie was the legitimate daughter of Old Man Ye; perhaps he didn’t see anything wrong with how he handled her, but it bothered Ye Jiu a lot.

Being born to Mrs. Li had already made it impossible for Ye Jiu to have any affection for her, and yet she dared to rashly lay a hand on Lady He.

A dragon has its scales, and touching them provokes ire.

And Lady He was precisely that scale on Ye Jiu!

Ye Gaoshui didn’t stay long inside the house and came out looking dejected.

Upon stepping outside, Ye Gaoshui shook his head at Mrs. Zhao, who was still waiting outside with hopeful eyes, causing her to slump in disappointment.

Mrs. Zhao understood that it was impossible for the Zhao Family to return those 20 taels of silver, but as for herself…
