Chapter 580 Something Big is About to Happen
People all thought that there must be something going on, but they couldn't figure out what it was, and no one would think about the relationship between Ye Jinggui and the first lady. After all, in the twenty years of marriage, the image that Ye Jinggui established to the outside world was so perfect that no one in Lin'an would doubt what kind of person he was. Even the soldiers who came back from the border, such as Lu Wei, only knew a little about the general's affairs.
Ye Qingmei pulled Ye Wenyan to sit at the table with her family. She was about to ask what the Sixth Prince had just said to her, when she saw an acquaintance walking towards them. When she came to Ye Wenyan, she bowed and called out, "Sister Yan."
Ye Wenyan was stunned, she felt that this person looked familiar, but she didn't recognize him. She immediately searched the memory of the original owner in her mind, and then recognized this person - Xiao Fang's son, Xiao Ziming. Ningguo Marquis only had this one son, so Xiao Ziming naturally became the heir to the title in the future.
Ye Wenyan remembered that the original owner had met this prince several times when he was young. At that time, Ningguo Hou was not yet Ningguo Hou, and the old marquis was still alive! Ye Jinggui had a good relationship with Xiao Fang. Whenever he returned to Kyoto, they would have a small gathering. Sometimes he would bring the original owner with him, and Xiao Fang would also bring Xiao Ziming with him.
But that was many years ago. Later, the original owner wanted to marry the Sixth Prince wholeheartedly, so Ye Jinggui never took her to see the Xiao family father and son again. But she didn't know why Xiao Ziming came to talk to her today.
She stood up to return the greeting and said, "Hello, Master Xiao." Then she sat back down.
When Xiao Ziming saw her sitting down, so openly and calmly, he was a little stunned. After a while, he said, "Sister Yan is still as temperamental as before. I remember when you first met me when you were a child, you also said hello and then sat down. Uncle Ye even said that you were rude. At that time, I said that Sister Yan's temperament was the best, and I liked it very much." Ye Wenyan frowned, and Ye Qingmei asked, "Does Prince Xiao have something to do with our Yan'er?"
"Oh." Xiao Ziming continued, "My mother asked me to tell Sister Yan that my grandmother's yard has been taken care of. Not only has the wall between it and the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion been raised, but two more yards have been expanded on the side, so that it can be along a small alley. Mother ordered someone to open another door next to the alley. Now that place has become a small mansion, it is convenient for Sister Yan to use it for whatever she wants. In addition, you can also ask the government to prepare another set of land deeds to completely separate the small mansion from the Ningguo Marquis' Mansion. With your current status, these are not a big deal, and the government will definitely be able to do it."
Ye Wenyan just remembered that the courtyard of Madam Xiao had been used to pay off Xiao Shubai's debt, but she had reason to want one courtyard, and Madam Ningguo allocated two more courtyards, which was a big favor. This was equivalent to taking land from the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion, and she didn't have much friendship with the Ningguo Marquis's Mansion, so there was really no need to owe such a favor.
So she shook her head and said to Xiao Ziming, "I appreciate Madam Ningguo's kindness, but it's too great a gift for me to bear. Please ask the prince to go back and tell Madam Ningguo that I can have Madam Xiao's yard, but I can't afford the two more. If Madam Ningguo insists on giving it to me, then just name a price and I'll pay for it."
"Sister Yan." Xiao Ziming was somewhat helpless. "Do you really have to be so clear with our family? It's just a few yards. We don't care about them. Why are you doing this? We shouldn't be so estranged from each other."
Ye Wenyan smiled and said nothing more.
Seeing that she stopped talking, Xiao Ziming became anxious and subconsciously took another half step forward, "Sister Yan, I..."
"Prince Xiao." Ye Feiyu came over and stopped him. "Prince Xiao, if you have nothing to do, please go back to your seat!"
Xiao Ziming frowned, unhappy. "I just want to talk to Sister Yan. Young Master, you don't have to do this, right? We used to talk a lot, and we knew each other when we were very young. We have known each other for many years. We can be considered childhood sweethearts. But I don't know why Sister Yan has forgotten everything in the past few months. She has ignored me and even called me Prince in a strange way."
Ye Wenyan had no choice but to look up at him again and said to him seriously, "The term 'childhood sweethearts' is not used properly. Prince Xiao needs to be careful when speaking. Besides, I haven't forgotten the past, and I haven't ignored you. It's just that we have never had a chance to talk, and there is no need to say more.
Although we have known each other for many years, that was when we were kids. When I was older, my father stopped taking me to drink with Uncle Xiao. So, to be honest, the prince and I are not that familiar with each other, and we have only spoken a few words to each other."
"Why are we no longer familiar with each other?" Xiao Ziming said anxiously, "The general once said that our two families should arrange a marriage for each other."
"Really?" Ye Wenyan still smiled, "Don't take it too seriously, my father. After all, it was just an immature idea of my father. Later, it was proved that he didn't really go to the Xiao family for an engagement, which means that he himself felt it was not appropriate.
Besides, my father has not only thought about this kind of engagement with the Xiao family, he has also mentioned it to the Fourth Prince. But that doesn't count, my grandfather has always made decisions for me, and I have only listened to my grandfather since I was a child."
Hearing her mention General Ye, Xiao Ziming nodded and said, "Yes, you only listen to the old general. It was the old general who proposed your marriage with the Sixth Prince to the late emperor. But the Sixth Prince almost killed you. Do you think it was right or wrong for the old general to arrange this marriage for you?" He didn't want to say anything more. An endless loneliness appeared on his face. He saw a jar of wine on the table, picked it up, raised his head and drank a few sips, then bowed to Ye Wenyan and walked away silently.
Xiao Ziming's appearance was just a small episode for Ye Wenyan, but this scene made Ye Lianmian have some thoughts that she shouldn't have. No one noticed that the second young lady of the Ye family narrowed her eyes and quietly left the table...
"Yan'er." Although Ye Qingmei didn't like Xiao Ziming, she didn't take him too seriously. She just asked Ye Wenyan what the Sixth Prince had said to her before, and reminded her in a low voice, "You are now the Emperor's fiancée, so you should be careful when dealing with the Sixth Prince. We won't say anything, but outsiders will inevitably gossip. And Yan'er, I don't know why your relationship with him has eased a lot. What he did back then was unforgivable in the eyes of mother and us."
Ye Wenyan nodded, "Sister, I understand what you mean. That incident is unforgivable to me, so I have never thought about forgiving him. It's just that some things are wrong, and what we see on the surface may not be true. I can't tell you about this matter in detail for the time being, but please believe me, sister, I will remember it all the time if you refuse to forget it. We have our own grievances and debts, and sooner or later we will get our due retribution."
Ye Qingmei sighed softly, "Yan'er, I definitely believe in you. No matter what happens, I will definitely stand by your side. I'm just afraid that mother will think too much, so I reminded you. After all, compared to us, the hatred in mother's heart is deeper."
"I know." She patted the back of Ye Qingmei's hand, "Don't worry, there will be an explanation for that matter, and the person who should take responsibility will definitely take it, and I will give my mother a chance to vent her resentment.
As for what the Sixth Prince said to me just now... Big sister, the Sixth Prince said that he brought Ye Hongzhuang here today, and she is in the carriage outside the mansion gate. After the people from the Second House come back, they will bring her in and hand her over to us for disposal.
Sister, look, we have brought all our enemies to our doorstep. They come one by one, and none of them can escape."
Ye Qingmei subconsciously looked outside the mansion gate when she heard her say this, "Speaking of which, why haven't the second family returned yet? Is the temple they went to farther than mother's temple? Mother has been back for so long, why haven't they shown up yet?"
"It should be soon." Ye Wenyan was not in a hurry. He picked up the tea and took two sips, then looked at Mu who was talking to Lu Wei.
Today, Madam Mu was very different from before. She looked a little sad when she was talking to the tablet of the general. She was like a bystander at other times, or someone who came here to help arrange the banquet. She was sober and calm, and acted calmly and properly. The old lady was like a big rat. She kept looking around in the crowd. When she saw someone she knew, she wanted to talk to them. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her. Even the subordinates of the old generals who came here only greeted her with courtesy. They didn't show any more than that. They were even unwilling to say a word to her.
Ye Qingmei took Ye Wenyan's arm and whispered to her: "Yan'er, what are your plans today?"
Ye Wenyan shook her head. “I don’t actually have many plans. Big sister, you should ask mother about this. Maybe mother does have some plans.” She looked at Mu again. The more she looked, the more she felt that Mu was performing some kind of ritual today, as if she was saying goodbye.
Ye Qingmei also said, "I'm worried too. Mother is not in a good state today. At first I thought she had figured something out during these days living in the temple, but later I thought she might not have figured it out, but..." What was it? She couldn't say for sure, but she felt that her mother was different from before, especially when she mentioned her late husband, she no longer seemed as close as before. Even today, her mother no longer called herself Madam Ye. She heard her mother talking to others several times and found that if she met an elder, she would call herself Qianqiu. When she met people of the same generation, she would call herself Mu. This made her feel uneasy and a little worried.
I always feel that something big is about to happen, but what is it?
