Chapter 417: Giving Gifts
at Miss Ye Si doesn’t recognize this Second Uncle.” 。"Could Second Uncle just refuse to acknowledge it Would Old Madam Ye agree She's the widow of General Lao after all. " 。"What a pitiful widow! Didn...Ye Wen tried to persuade Ye Fei Zhou not to worry too much about her, but Ye Fei Zhou said: "On the 15th of every month, you will get sick" 。She was stunned for a moment, then she understood why her second brother had to follow her everywhere. She also understood that the matter of her illness every fifteenth day would gradually become impossible to hide. 。"Tomorrow isn't the 15th, what are you nervous about" "Just in case..." 。"This is Ye Fei's explanation, 'If anything happens to you by accident, we won't even have time to regret it.'" 。" Okay then, follow me. Let's go together." 。She stopped, pointing to the fork in the road ahead. "Second brother returns to Yu Jing Yuan, I return to my own courtyard." 。In a few days, your second older brother's yard will also be cleaned up, so you won't have to squeeze with your elder brother anymore. 。"
Night Fei Zhou didn't say anything, only instructing her to go back and sleep well. After that, he walked towards Yujing Garden without looking back.
She stood there for a while, tilting her head in one direction, but she didn't say anything in the end. She left silently. 。Not until the person had walked far away did the voice from the direction she had turned her head toward speak. It was Yefeiyu saying, "I actually regret a little that I didn't choose martial arts when I was younger. That way I could have helped her and protected her when she needed it." 。In short, it won't be like now, where I can only watch helplessly as the flying boat is by her side, and I, as her elder brother, am like a useless person, making her forget about me for days on end. 。"Brother, don't underestimate yourself." 。“This is Ye Qingmei’s voice, “Everyone has their own place. Perhaps the best help we can give her is to live our own lives well.” 。She has made everything so well-organized for us, we just need to not give her any trouble and let her relax and be able to do the things she wants. 。After all, she... "
She didn't say the rest because Ye Feiyu had already picked up the conversation: "There's nothing to it after all, she's our own sister." 。In five days the clinic will be open, we'll take care of things outside, and you can handle all the accounting. 。"I'm only doing this temporarily, I will still give it to your sister-in-law in the future." 。"
Ye Feiyu seemed a little irritable, "Where did the term 'sister-in-law' come from There is no sister-in-law! Don't mention it like this again." 。As for you, Qingmei, what about your fiancé Why haven't you heard from him in so long" Night Qingmei didn't know how it had been so long without any news. Perhaps there had never really been any news to begin with. 。Since the father's passing, that family has vanished as if into thin air, with no visits or contact. 。Even if there was a major funeral in the Ye family, and unmarried young people were forbidden to marry for two years, being unmarried didn't mean they couldn't interact. This made her feel uneasy, as if something was going to go wrong. 。She still comforted her older brother: "Anyway, it's two or three years before I get married. Whether there is news or not doesn't make much difference. Brother, don't ask about it anymore, let's talk about it then!" Ye Feiyu sighed softly and stopped asking further questions. 。"There is something I have to ask: "Why are you at the Fu Lu Courtyard at this hour Was it Grandmother who sent for you Did anyone make things difficult for you" Ye Qingmei smiled, "No one called me, I went there myself." 。Grandmother fell ill again, it is said that she was frightened by something. When she woke up, she said that she had encountered a ghost, a ghost that was transformed from grandfather. 。Uncle Er had called a doctor, but he was too busy marrying a new wife to even glance in his direction. 。Auntie Second is not in good spirits lately, so she certainly can't go to the bedside to attend to his illness. 。As the only granddaughter, it's my duty to do everything I can to be filial. That's how our family will appear to have some warmth and humanity. 。“ You’re joking, aren't you I heard you poured out your grandmother’s medicine!” 。" Well, I'll still rest under that big tree " 。Because Grandma favored that tree, she might have thought it was a sacred tree. She just had to pour medicine under the tree, or even feed the big tree her meals. When the tree was full, she wouldn't be hungry. 。These days we haven't been feeding the tree, and now look, grandma is sick! So I have to go feed it, maybe after I do, grandma will be better tomorrow. 。" Ye Feiyu paused for a long time, then said, "Qingmei, you've also changed. 。“ You've changed too, haven't you We all have. 。This family forces people to grow, those who don't mature will be eliminated. If you don't work hard to survive, you have to face death. 。How could she not change "Brother, I used to think that Yan'er treated Grandmother like that because she knew something and wanted to speak up for Grandfather..." 。Later I realized that she wasn't just venting for her grandfather, she might also have been venting for our father. 。Brother, there have been two funerals at Ye's house in a row. There must be something fishy going on here. 。And when the truth is revealed, I fear our mansion will be turned upside down. 。The next day, Ye Wen changed into a new outfit. It was an orange-red dress newly made for her by the Mu family. 。Spring clothing, the fabric is slightly thin, it looks ethereal and very beautiful when worn. 。This was the first time she had worn such thin fabric since arriving in this era. 。From the courtyard to the front gate, I shivered three or four times along the way. 。Then Zhu'er whispered to her, "Miss, perhaps we should go back and change into warmer clothes. This won't do." 。She disagreed, “The weather is getting warmer and warmer. I can’t always wear thick clothes. It would look strange.” 。Besides, I'm not so sensitive to the cold that I can't stand it. It takes time to get used to it. 。"Don't talk nonsense in front of my mother, you know"
The maid nodded, "Miss don't worry, the slave knows not to let Madam worry." 。Even as a servant, I feel sorry for Miss. You've shivered several times on this journey. Will you be able to make it to the Chen Wangfu like this” Ye Wenyan pressed the warm jade pendant hanging around her neck, releasing a bit of spiritual energy, and her body immediately felt much warmer. 。"Yes, why not It's just a bit cold, it's nothing major." 。"
Ji Rong kept frowning and remained silent, only listening to the two of them chatting back and forth. Even after hearing everything, she was still surprised." 。"Why does Master always feel cold But is he feeling unwell"Ye Wenyan nodded. "On the second day of the twelfth lunar month, when we were caught in the snowstorm, I got chilled to the bone. Since then, I've had a lingering chill and felt cold all over." 。It's nothing, maybe it will get better by summer. 。"
Ji Rong wanted to say that it would be better to ask the Emperor to think of a way, but she immediately thought of what her aunt had said: The Emperor treated the fourth young lady like his life. "
Such a beloved daughter, how could she possibly not notice this flaw 。Perhaps even the Emperor was helpless! Ji Rong sighed inwardly, and thinking about that damned Sixth Prince made her even angrier. 。"Tell your men to go to Duke Su's residence tonight and beat the sixth prince." 。"
Ye Wen thought about saying not to be so violent, but then again, it seemed that exploring the Duke of Su's mansion wasn't a big deal. " 。Recently, she hasn't had time for that, so it's just right to let Ji Rong introduce the current sixth prince to some savory dishes. 。She knew that having taken on the identity of Miss Ye Si meant she had to bear the karmic consequences of Miss Ye Si. 。Why shouldn't that imposter, the Sixth Prince, suffer like the previous one Why shouldn't his retribution be visited upon him Then Ye Wenyan nodded, "Alright, go. While you're at it, give Ye Hongzhuang a good scolding too, and see what's going on in the Duke of Su's mansion." 。The three of them fell silent, leaving the mansion. They got into a carriage and, with Ye Fei Zhou waiting at the mansion gate, headed straight for Chen Wangfu. 。Although a gift was already given yesterday, this time Ye Wen also came empty-handed. 。Zhui'er held in her hands a beautiful box. Inside were two small jars of tea leaves, from Yanhuagong and imbued with spiritual power by Shi Lifen herself, who had cultivated them with her own hands. 。When she arrived, the guards at the gate of Chen Wangfu immediately stepped forward, performed a respectful bow, and called out: "Miss Ye Si" 。Then one of them said, “Our lord has been waiting for you a long time, Miss Four. Please come in quickly.” 。After finishing, she also glanced at Ye Fei Zhou, as if wanting to say something, her mouth moved, but in the end, she didn't say anything. 。He made another gesture of invitation and added, "Let's go together, Night Second Young Master." 。“ Night Wen Yan smiled, and stepped inside. 。Crossing the threshold, going around the screen wall, passing through the front courtyard, walking through the flower hall, and crossing a small bridge. 。He led her all the way to the edge of an artificial lake, then stopped and pointed to a pavilion in the center of the lake. "My lord is waiting for you in the pavilion," he said to her. "Please go there alone." 。"
Ji Rong heard this and frowned, "What kind of reason is that We came as guests openly, why are you putting on such a show, Your Highness My mistress is still an unmarried young lady, how can she meet with an outsider alone If this gets out, it would be terrible gossip!>>>" 。“Don’t worry, miss. All the people in the Duke of Chen’s mansion are loyal and wouldn’t let any word or matter leak out.”
Besides, my lord and the fourth young lady are siblings, so he's not considered an outsider. 。“If the Fourth Prince is truly innocent, he wouldn’t make such a request.” 。The guard insisted, “If Miss Four is unwilling, then please leave!”Ji Rong heard this and frowned, but she didn't dare to speak for Ye Wen. She could only keep quiet for now and wait to hear what her mistress would say. 。Yè Wēn yán què méi suǒyào jǐ gè rén guò qù, zhǐ shēngshǒu jiē guò zhuì'ér shǒu lǐ tí zhe de hézi, ránhòu duì tāmen shuō:“Zài zhè lǐ děng wǒ jiù hǎo, wǒ yī gè rén guò qù yě méi shi.” 。After finishing, he looked back at Ye Fei Zhou again, “Brother Two is also waiting here” 。" Ye Fei Zhou had no reason to doubt it. The distance from the shore to Lake Heart Pavilion wasn't too close, nor was it so far that if something happened he wouldn't be able to reach in time. 。Seeing Ye Fei's boat, there was no objection. Ji Rong and Zhuier also kept silent. 。Ye Wenyan carried the box onto the long bridge. The people in the pavilion got up to greet him. When they finally faced each other, Ye Wenyan smiled and handed the box in his hand forward: "Two small cans of tea leaves, sent to my senior brother, I hope my senior brother doesn't dislike them." 。"
Quan Qinghua looked at the box she handed him, then at her bright smile, and after a long silence, he sighed helplessly: “If I had known this day would come, why did I do it in the first place”
Ye Wenyan still smiled, smiling mischievously, "The problem is that I didn't know there would be today! If I had known there would be today, I definitely wouldn't have angered my senior brother" 。 。"
He frowned, "Aren't you afraid I'll throw you and the tea out"
