Chapter 416: Gift Giving

Ye Wenyan tried to persuade Ye Feizhou not to worry too much about her, but Ye Feizhou said, "You get sick on the 15th of every month."

She was stunned for a moment, and then she understood why her second brother followed her wherever she went. She also realized that the fact that she was sick on the 15th of every month could no longer be concealed.

"Tomorrow isn't the 15th, why are you so nervous?"

"Just in case." This was Ye Feizhou's explanation. "If anything happens to you, it will be too late for us to regret."

"...Okay, then follow me, we'll go together." She stopped and pointed to the fork in the road ahead, "Second brother will go back to Yujing Garden, and I'll go back to my own yard. In a few days, second brother's yard will be ready, and you won't have to squeeze in with eldest brother anymore."

Ye Feizhou didn't say anything, just told her to go back and have a good sleep, then walked towards Yujing Garden without looking back.

She stood there for a while, and tilted her head in one direction, but in the end she said nothing and left silently.

It was not until the person had walked a long way that she heard a voice from the direction where she turned her head. It was Ye Feiyu who said, "I actually regret not choosing to learn martial arts when I was young. This way, I could help her and protect her when she needed it. At least, it wouldn't be like this now. I can only watch Fei Zhou accompany her, while I, her biological brother, act like a useless person, and she can't even remember that there is me for days."

"Brother, don't underestimate yourself." This was Ye Qingmei's voice. "Everyone has their place. Perhaps the best way for us to help her is to live a good life. She has arranged everything for us. As long as we don't cause her any trouble, we can make it easier for her and let her do what she wants. After all, she..."

The rest of the sentence was not continued, because Ye Feiyu had already taken over the conversation: "It's nothing. After all, she is our biological sister. The clinic will be open in five days. We will take care of the outside affairs, and the accounting matters will be handed over to you."

Ye Qingmei added: "I am only doing this temporarily. I will still hand it over to my sister-in-law in the future."

Ye Feiyu seemed a little annoyed. "Where is the sister-in-law? There is no sister-in-law! Don't mention such things again in the future. But you, Qingmei, why haven't you heard from your fiancé for so long?"

Ye Qingmei didn't know why there had been no news for so long, or maybe there had never been any news in the first place. Ever since her father passed away, the family seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, with no visits or contacts. Even though the Ye family had a great funeral, and the younger generation was not allowed to get married for the next two years, not getting married didn't mean they couldn't have any contact. This made her feel a little uneasy, and she always felt that something was going to go wrong.

But she still comforted her brother: "Anyway, getting married will be two or three years away. It doesn't matter whether there is news or not. Don't ask me, we can talk about it when the time comes!"

Ye Feiyu sighed and didn't ask any more questions. But there was one thing he had to ask: "Why did you go to Fuluyuan at this hour? Did your grandmother ask you to go? Did she embarrass you?"

Ye Qingmei smiled, "No one called me, I wanted to go there on my own. Grandmother is sick again. It is said that she was frightened by something. When she woke up, she said that she met a ghost, and the ghost was my grandfather in disguise. Second uncle invited a doctor, but he was busy marrying a new wife and didn't have time to see him. Second aunt is in a bad mood recently, so she certainly can't go to her bedside to take care of her. Only I, as a granddaughter, can show my filial piety, so that our family can show some human touch."

Ye Feiyu laughed when he heard this, "To take care of the sick? But I heard that you poured out all of grandma's medicine."

"Well, let's fall under that big tree. Grandma likes that tree. She probably thinks it's a sacred tree. As long as we pour medicine under the tree, or even feed the tree food, she won't be hungry when the tree is full. We haven't fed the tree these days, and now, grandma is sick, right? So I have to go feed it. Maybe after feeding it, grandma will be well tomorrow."

Ye Feiyu paused for a moment before saying, "Qingmei, you have changed too."

You have changed too, yes, everything has changed. This family forces people to grow up. If you don't grow up, you will be eliminated. If you don't work hard to survive, you will die. How can she not change?

"Brother, I used to think Yan'er treated grandmother like that because she knew something and wanted to vent grandfather's anger. But later I found out that she was not only venting grandfather's anger, she might also be venting our father's anger. Brother, the Ye family has suffered two major funerals in a row, and there may be other hidden stories. And when that secret is revealed, I'm afraid our mansion will be turned upside down."

The next day, Ye Wenyan changed into a new outfit, an orange-red skirt that Mu had just made for her. It was a spring outfit, made of a slightly thinner fabric, and looked very pretty when she wore it.

This was the first time she had worn such thin material since she came to this era. She shivered three or four times on the way from the courtyard to the gate of the mansion. Zhuier whispered to her: "Miss, let's go back and change into thicker clothes. You can't do this."

She disagreed. "The weather is getting warmer. I can't wear thick clothes all the time. It will make people feel weird. Besides, I can't stand the cold. I have to get used to it slowly. Don't talk nonsense in front of my mother, understand?"

Zhuier nodded, "Miss, don't worry. I know the truth about not letting the Madam worry. But I feel sorry for you, Miss. You shivered several times during this journey. Can you hold on until you reach Prince Chen's Mansion?"

Ye Wenyan pressed the warm jade pendant hanging around his neck, and some spiritual energy gently dissipated, and his body immediately felt much warmer.

"Yes, of course. It's just a little cold, it's not a big deal."

Ji Rong kept frowning and didn't say anything, just listening to the master and servant talking to each other. She was still surprised when she heard the end.

"Why do you always feel cold, Master? Are you feeling unwell?"

Ye Wenyan nodded, "I was freezing in the snow on the second day of the twelfth lunar month. Since then, I have been suffering from a disease and have been feeling cold all the time. It's okay, maybe it will get better in summer." Ji Rong wanted to ask the Emperor to think of a solution, but she immediately thought of what her aunt said, that the Emperor treated the fourth young lady as if she were his own life. How could he not notice this disease of a girl he loved so much?

Maybe even the Emperor can’t do anything about it!

Ji Rong sighed inwardly, and when she thought about that damn Sixth Prince, she became even angrier.

"I will go to Prince Su's Mansion tonight and give His Highness the Sixth Prince a beating."

Ye Wenyan wanted to say don't be so violent, but then she thought again, it seems there is nothing wrong with exploring Prince Su's mansion. She hasn't taken care of that side recently, so it's a good opportunity for Ji Rong to go and give the current Sixth Prince some meat.

She knew that if she took over the identity of the Fourth Lady of the Night, she would have to bear the consequences of the Fourth Lady of the Night. Why shouldn't the fake Sixth Prince suffer the same pain as the previous one? Why couldn't she avenge him?

So Ye Wenyan nodded, "Okay, go ahead, and give Ye Hongzhuang a lesson while you're at it, and also find out about Prince Su's mansion."

The three of them said nothing more. They left the house, got in the car, took the Ye Feizhou that was waiting at the gate, and headed straight to Prince Chen's Mansion.

Although he had sent a gift yesterday, Ye Wenyan did not come empty-handed this time. Zhuier was holding an exquisite box in his hand, which contained two small cans of tea leaves. They were from Yanhua Palace, and were planted by Master Liyuan himself with his spiritual power.

When she arrived, the guards at the gate of Prince Chen's mansion immediately stepped forward, saluted respectfully, and called out, "Fourth Miss Ye." Then one of them said, "My prince has been waiting for a long time, Fourth Miss, please come in."

After saying that, he glanced at Ye Feizhou, as if he wanted to say something, and moved his mouth, but in the end, he said nothing. He just made a gesture of invitation and added, "Young Master Ye, please come together."

Ye Wenyan smiled and walked inside.

She stepped over the threshold, walked around the screen wall, passed the front yard, crossed the flower hall, and crossed a small bridge. She walked all the way to the edge of an artificial lake, and the guard who led the way stopped, pointed to the pavilion in the middle of the lake and said to her, "My prince is waiting in the pavilion. Please go alone, Miss Four."

Ji Rong frowned when she heard this. "What kind of logic is this? We are here as guests, so who are you doing this for? My mistress is still an unmarried young lady, how can she meet with a man from another family alone? If this gets out, it will be bad news."

The guard said quickly, "Don't worry, young lady. The Chen Palace is united and nothing will be spread outside. Besides, my prince and the fourth young lady are senior and junior brothers and sisters, so he is not considered an outsider."

Ji Rong still refused, "If the Fourth Prince is honest, he would not make such a request."

The guard insisted: "If the fourth young lady doesn't want to, then please go back!"

Ji Rong frowned when she heard this, but she didn't dare to act as Ye Wenyan's boss, so she had to stop talking for the time being and wait to hear what her master had to say. Ye Wenyan didn't care how many people went over, he just reached out to take the box from Zhuier's hand, and then said to them, "Just wait for me here, it's okay for me to go alone." After that, he looked at Ye Feizhou and said, "Second brother is waiting here too."

There was no doubt that Ye Feizhou was on the way. The distance from the shore to the pavilion in the middle of the lake was not close, but it was not so far that he would not be able to rescue in time if something happened.

Seeing that Ye Feizhou had no objection, Ji Rong and Zhuier also kept silent.

Ye Wenyan walked onto the long bridge carrying the box. The people in the pavilion stood up to greet him. When they were finally face to face, Ye Wenyan smiled and handed the box forward: "Two small cans of tea, for senior brother, I hope you don't mind."

Quan Qinghua looked at the box she handed over, then looked at her brightly smiling face. After a while, he sighed helplessly: "If I had known this would happen, why did I do it in the first place?"

Ye Wenyan still smiled, and his smile was very scoundrel, "The problem is that I didn't know this day would come before! If I had known this day would come, I would definitely not be angry with you. Please accept it, it's really good tea, you will like it."

He frowned when he heard this, "Aren't you afraid that I will throw you out along with the tea?"
