My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

"Dad." Ye Shengxin stood straight.

"Promoted?"

Ye Zhengyao asked in a sarcastic tone, his eyes falling on the brand new official robe in Ye Shengxin's hand, his expression unclear.

Ye Shengxin pointed at the official uniform in his hand and smiled politely.

"You saw it, didn't you?"

Ye Zhengyao's face darkened.

"What are you laughing at! Do you know that your elder brother's engagement was broken off by the Du family today because of you?"

"Because of me?" Ye Shengxin pointed at himself.

"Dad, I've been out all day, what does this have to do with me?"

Ye Shengxin frowned, unwilling to accept it.

"Besides, I don't even know the Du family. If you're unhappy, you can go out and have a drink or go find your eighteen concubines. Why are you venting your anger on me?"

"As a man, I don't have the means to coax you."

"You...you rebellious son!"

Ye Zhengyao shouted and raised his hand to hit him.

Ye Shengxin moved his body and dodged.

Unexpectedly, this action angered him, and he pulled out a whip from his waist.

He threw it straight towards Ye Shengxin.

"Unfilial thing, you still have the nerve to hide!

If you hadn't taken the position of Jingzhao Yin and brought shame to Lord Du,

Why would he come to cancel the engagement, and why would your eldest brother be so angry that he vomited blood and fainted? "

"Snapped!"

It was a powerful whip. Ye Shengxin dodged most of it, but was hit in the face by the tail of the whip.

Although her face was not broken, a thumb-sized red mark immediately appeared on her face, causing her to gasp in pain.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

[System, what do you think is this old man going crazy so late at night? It hurts me so much.]

The system was very angry: [Host, take the whip back and let this old man surnamed Ye have a taste of being whipped.]

In the palace, Emperor Jingming, who was reading a history book, put it down.

With thick eyebrows knitted together, Ye Shengxin was beaten by his father?

Because of what?

At the Ye Mansion, Ye Shengxin covered his face. Although what the system said was cool, he couldn't do it openly!

But if you accidentally...

Ye Shengxin sneered.

Seeing Ye Zhengyao's whip coming at him again, Ye Shengxin hid behind the rockery.

While looking for an opportunity to grab the whip, he did not forget to defend himself:

"Dad, my brother's health is not good to begin with, so it's normal for him to vomit blood when he gets angry.

It's really unreasonable for you to impose this on me!"

"Besides, who knows when the time will be right,

Which family would be willing to marry their precious daughter to him?"

"Master Du, it is only natural for you to cancel the engagement. You..."

"shut up!"

Ye Zhengyao had a ferocious look on his face as he chased Ye Shengxin, hitting her with the whip in his hand.

"You've become more capable, haven't you? You even dare to frame your eldest brother?"

"Are you hoping that he will die soon so that you can find a new place?"

"Old man, you need to provide evidence when you speak. What good will it be for me to take my elder brother's place? To inherit the Ye Mansion?"

"I am now a fifth-rank official. Isn't this position better than the one in the Ye Mansion?"

Ye Shengxin was completely angry, and he seized the opportunity to quickly snatch the whip.

Then he pretended that he couldn't control himself and there was a "pop" sound.

The tail of the whip went straight towards Ye Zhengyao's face.

She even reminded him hypocritically: "Dad, get out of the way! Don't come close to me!"

"what!"

Ye Zhengyao covered his face with his hands. The burning pain on his skin made him both shocked and terrified.

The whip tail that swept across his eyelids was so painful that he couldn't stop crying.

He wiped the useless thing clean in a shameful manner, stared at Ye Xingxin fiercely, and shouted:

"Well, you've really grown in ability. You even dare to hit your elders!"

Ye Xingxin pretended to be wronged: "Dad, it was obviously you who insisted on coming up here, how can you put the blame on me?"

"You are so unreasonable. I will drag you before the emperor tomorrow and let him give you a good review."

emperor?

Hearing this name, Ye Zhengyao was stunned and immediately became timid.

But he didn't want to lose face, so he scolded with a stern face:

"Now that you've been promoted, you don't even take me, your father, seriously anymore, right?"

"My eye sockets are so small, I can't put them in even if I want to!"

Ye Shengxin rolled his eyes.

Ye Zhengyao was once again furious, "Someone, take my..."

"Zhengyao, stop it!"

The old lady hurried over with her servants and stood in front of Ye Shengxin.

Seeing the red marks on his grandson's face, he felt so heartbroken.

Then he turned around and scolded: "Why are you hitting Sheng Xin so hard? This wound looks so painful!"

Ye Zhengyao was upset. Didn’t his mother see that he also had a wound on his face?

The old lady naturally saw it as well, but she had heard Shengxin's reminder before she appeared, which meant that Shengxin didn't do it on purpose.

And if he hadn't taken out the whip, neither of them would have been hurt.

In this case, it is still her son's fault!

Seeing that the old lady had no intention of supporting him, Ye Zhengyao did not want to bring up the embarrassing matter again, so he could only say helplessly:

"Mom, Sheng Qing is currently unconscious. You are the culprit and you are still protecting her."

"Sheng Qing is also your grandson. How disappointed would Sheng Qing be if he knew about this."

The old lady said sullenly, "What are you worried about? This matter has nothing to do with worrying about. Don't confuse right with wrong!"

"Why is it not a problem? If Lord Du had not lost his position, how could he have..."

"Shut up, mother!"

The old lady shouted and pulled the whip from Ye Shengxin's hand.

"Do you want me to spank you too?"

Ye Zhengyao shrank his neck and stopped talking immediately.

In the silent atmosphere, Mrs. Ye came over without knowing when.

He glanced at the small red mark on Ye Shengxin's face, and then looked at the big red mark on Ye Zhengyao's face that almost pierced his entire face.

Without any emotion:

"Master, Sheng Xin is Sheng Qing's younger brother after all, so let's just forget about this matter."

She took Ye Zhengyao's hand and said, "Sheng Qing still needs you, don't get yourself hurt by getting angry."

Ye Zhengyao didn't say anything. He was angry at his mother and his unfilial son.

Upon seeing this, Mrs. Ye turned around and left with him.

She only said two sentences from beginning to end, and did not blame Ye Shengxin to his face.

But that attitude of forgiving and making a big deal out of a small matter makes people extremely unhappy.

The system was indignant: [Host, this couple has determined that this matter has something to do with you. ]

Not knowing what he was thinking about, Ye Shengxin sighed.

[Yeah, so I didn't expect that the blame for my brother's illness would be put on me like this.]

The system was a little confused: [What? ]

After saying this, it remembered that Ye Zhengyao had asked Madam Sanchun to treat his big son.

[I heard that Ye Shengqing's health is now being treated by two doctors separately.]

[His fainting should have nothing to do with this, right? ]

Ye Xingxin curled her lips: [Who knows. ]

As she spoke, she laughed again: [In the past few days, Madam Sanchun has brought back quite a few hundred taels. System, I'm rich! ]

The system also laughed: [We’ve made a fortune! ]

In the palace, Emperor Jingming relaxed his brows.

He knew that Ye Shengqing was ill and Sanchun had reported it to him.

There is nothing wrong with the prescriptions written by both doctors.

If they were eaten together, Sanchun could control it properly, and as long as Ye Shengqing didn't get angry, there would be no problem, but unfortunately...

Emperor Jingming slammed the desk with his palm. This Ye Zhengyao is really confused.

Instead of cherishing his promising son, he took a sickly child very seriously.

Although the Du family came to cancel the engagement at this time, this incident happened.

But it also shows that the old man Du Weizheng is not the kind of man who would sell his daughter, and he still has some character.

but--

Emperor Jingming narrowed his eyes.

Listening to what Ye Shengxin and her system said, was this a backlash from her own bad mouth?

Thinking of this, Emperor Jingming smiled and called the secret guards.

After whispering a few words to him, the secret guard left.

-

At the Ye Mansion, the old lady gave Ye Shengxin medicine with great concern.

Guiltily, he said, "Your father is a man who doesn't know what's going on. Grandmother will definitely help you punish him."

"How will grandma punish me?"

Ye Shengxin knew that the old lady was sincere in her words and asked with great interest.

The old lady said with a fierce face, "When your eldest brother wakes up, grandma will pretend to be sick.

Let your father kneel in the little Buddhist temple of your grandmother,

Write the thick "Peace Sutra" a hundred and eighty times,

If you can’t finish writing, just keep kneeling.”

The old lady patted Ye Shengxin's hand.

"If he dares to use filial piety to pressure you, grandma will also use filial piety to pressure him, so don't be afraid."

[The Peace Sutra? If I let this old man write it so many times, I probably won't have to see him for ten days, that's fine.]

Ye Shengxin was quite satisfied with the result.

After sending the old lady away, Ye Shengxin happily tried on the official uniform.

Seeing himself in the mirror, looking radiant and energetic against the backdrop of his red official robe, Ye Xingxin should have been happy.

However, the burning pain on her face continued to irritate her nerves.

Even the greatest joy was extinguished.

"It would be nice if I didn't have this on my face."

The system was also annoyed: [Yes, you still have to attend court tomorrow. What will the Red Scar ministers think if they see you? ]

Ye Xingxin bared his teeth: [Thinking while standing, what else can I think about. ]

[Anyway, as long as I don’t say anything, no one will know that I was beaten by my father. ]

"Forget it, let's not talk about it."

Ye Xingxin took off his official uniform, lay on the bed, and started cupping again under the bright oil lamp.

I was lucky this time, and after a lot of trouble, she finally got it out.

Looking at the blood-stained mahogany thorn that was as long as a fingernail, Ye Shengxin burst into tears.

"System, do you think I got this wooden thorn from that whip? Otherwise, why is it such a coincidence?"

system:……

The system was a bit confused and only said: [Host, it's very late, you should go to bed quickly. ]

-

At midnight, when Ye Zhengyao was sleeping soundly, a man in black appeared in his room.

He lit the special poisonous incense and placed it in front of Ye Zhengyao's nose.

After a few breaths, seeing Ye Zhengyao's face becoming ferocious, the man in black extinguished the poisonous incense and turned away.

On the bed, Ye Zhengyao began to struggle. Severe pain spread from his limbs to every part of his body. His body felt like it was crushed by a huge rock. The pain was so severe that he would rather die than live.

Ye Zhengyao wanted to scream, to shout, to beg for mercy.

But he couldn't wake up and could only let the pain devour his bones inch by inch.

When he struggled until dawn, the pain in his body suddenly disappeared, and Ye Zhengyao opened his eyes in sweat.

He was gasping for breath, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to call Madam Sanchun.

As soon as Madam Sanchun stepped into the room, she smelled the fragrance that had not yet completely dissipated, and she paused.
