Chapter 592 The Patriarch Arrives
Chapter 592 The Patriarch Arrives
Ye Wenyan smiled and said nothing. She was not being hypocritical, she just felt that she shouldn't go forward at this time.
Mu knew that she was not the real Ye Wenyan, so any encouragement and comfort she could give to Mu would be of little use.
On the contrary, such scenes made her miss the past. She had relatives before, and they were all very nice, but unfortunately no one was around now. She always acted strong in front of others, but few people knew that she dreamed almost every night, dreaming about the tragic incident in the Ye family in her previous life, and dreaming about the blood of her relatives splattered all over her.
Fortunately, God took pity on her and gave her Quan Qingcheng...
Ye Wenyan stretched out her hand, shook Quan Qingcheng's hand, and smiled at him. Quan Qingcheng didn't know what this meant, but he knew to hold her hand tightly with his backhand and gave her a bright smile.
The servants of the Ye Mansion had already started to clear the banquet. Many people worked together and it didn't take many hours to clear the front yard and even clean the ground. But when they finally cleared the tablets and incense table of the General's Mansion, the housekeeper Zhou Cheng asked Mu: "Does the Madam have any other arrangements? Do you want to clear these too?"
Mu shook his head. "If you don't remove these, just leave them here. There are many things to do today, so let him be a witness."
A voice message penetrated into Ye Wenyan's consciousness. It was the bird that knew the way. The bird was released by Ye Wenyan early in the morning to pick up Ye Feizhou who was going to Ping County to invite the clan leader. At this moment, the bird that knew the way sent her a message: "Master, the second young master has entered the alley of the general's mansion and will return to the mansion soon. How will you reward me? I used my spiritual power to speed up the second young master's horse, so that he could bring the clan leader back to the mansion today. Otherwise, with his turtle-like speed, he would have to wait for two more days."
Ye Wenyan imagined the scene of the bird of knowledge using its spiritual power to send Ye Feizhou back, and he shuddered subconsciously.
"The Second Young Master is fine. He has a solid foundation in martial arts and can withstand your torture. But are you sure that the old clan leader is fine?"
The bird that knows the way said, "Of course I am sure. My master trusts me in my work. Although the process was a bit bumpy, after we arrived at the inner city of Lin'an, I gave him a little spiritual power for free. The half-dead old man suddenly became energetic and looked at least five years younger."
Ye Wenyan nodded, "Okay, then I'll give you more flowers to eat later."
The bird said "Yeah!" and said, "Master, remember to go to the mountains outside the city to pick flowers when you have time. Our flowers are blooming all over the mountains, so we can enjoy them. I also brought back a lot of flower seeds along the way. After picking them, remember to scatter the seeds on the mountains. We can harvest a lot of flowers next spring. Master, do you think I am amazing? I will eat three pounds of flowers this time."
Ye Wenyan gritted his teeth and said, "Three pounds is three pounds."
As he was speaking, the door of the mansion opened and Ye Feizhou walked in with a strange old man.
Madam Mu glanced at Quan Qingcheng and said calmly, "There are still a few family matters to be handled today. Please ask the emperor and the three princes to be witnesses for the Ye family. These things will damage the reputation of the Ye family, but we have to do them, and we can't do them secretly. I have no choice but to come up with this idea. Please, Your Majesty, for..." She wanted to say for the sake of the two generals, but after looking at Ye Wenyan, she changed her mind and said - "Please, Your Majesty, for the sake of Yan'er, help the Ye family again."
Quan Qingcheng didn't know what it was, but since Mu had said so much, he couldn't say no. Besides, Ye Wenyan had nodded at him, so he nodded at Mu as well. The other three princes also nodded, and the matter was settled.
Mu heaved a sigh of relief, stepped forward and saluted the old man, "Eldest daughter-in-law Mu, greets the clan leader."
Except for Ye Lianmian, all the children from the eldest house came forward to pay their respects and said, "Greetings, clan leader."
The people from the second house did not move, and neither did the old lady. Ye Feng, the patriarch of the Ye clan, glanced at them and snorted, "It's better not to come and pay homage. After all, I have no official title or title, I am just the patriarch of the Ye clan, and since you are not members of the Ye clan, you naturally don't have to pay homage to me." After saying that, he looked at the crowd for a while, and his eyes soon fell on Ye Wenyan. After landing, he immediately stepped forward, knelt down in front of Ye Wenyan without saying a word, and shouted at the same time: "I pay homage to the Empress, may the Empress live long!"
Ye Wenyan was startled, then glanced at her second brother, and seeing Ye Feizhou nod, she reluctantly stepped forward to support him, saying, "Old man, please stand up quickly. The Emperor and I haven't had a grand wedding yet, so we can't be considered the empress. And you are the head of the Ye family, and we respect you in our family, so you must not kneel to me."
Ye Feng stood up, but shook his head: "Whether at home or outside, the whole world belongs to the king. As long as we set foot on this land, the Emperor is our heaven."
Ye Wenyan didn't know how to persuade him, so he had to change the subject and pointed at Quan Qingcheng and said to him: "Old Patriarch, this is the emperor."
Ye Feng shuddered again. The emperor? Why was the emperor in the Ye family? But he also knew that Ye Wenyan had no reason to lie to him, so he quickly knelt down in front of Quan Qingcheng again and shouted, "Long live the emperor."
Quan Qingcheng nodded, "Stand up! You are the patriarch of the Ye family. Since you are here to deal with the Ye family's affairs today, there is no need to be too formal. I am only here to be a witness at the request of the Ye family. I will not interfere in the Ye family's plans."
Ye Feng thanked Quan Qingcheng, bowed to several princes, then waved his hand and everyone entered Xu Ming Hall.
The old lady was supported by Xiangdong and Ali as she walked behind. Her legs were a little unsteady, mainly because she was scared. Because she knew why the clan leader came here, and she also knew that the incident many years ago could no longer be concealed. With Ye Wenyan and the emperor around, she could prove the matter even without evidence. She could not escape the trial anyway.
The old lady raised her head and looked at her second son who was walking in front of her. This son had turned against her in order to save his life and had put all the blame on her. Come to think of it, what happened back then was done by her alone and had nothing to do with her son. So she should admit it! But she didn't know how the clan leader would deal with her after she admitted it, and she didn't know how the emperor would deal with her.
The whole family rushed into the Xuming Hall. Ye Feng asked Ye Wenyan to take the seat, but Ye Wenyan refused. Ye Feng then asked Quan Qingcheng to take the seat, but Quan Qingcheng refused to take the seat either. Finally, the Third Prince said, "The Emperor and I are only here to be witnesses, and we will not participate in the affairs of the Ye family."
The old patriarch then stopped being polite and took the first seat on his own initiative.
Butler Zhou Cheng closed the door at the back and guarded it personally, even skipping the process of having the servants serve tea.
Who would have time to drink tea when something big happened at home? He just had to stay outside to prevent anyone from approaching and eavesdropping.
The people of the Ye family sat on both sides as before, one side was the main house and the other side was the second house.
Ye Lianmian, who had been making a lot of noise before, was silent now. The arrival of the clan leader made her realize that something big was going to happen at home today, and this big event was likely to change the current situation of the Ye family. She was very curious and also had some expectations.
"The Lin'an branch is all here today." Ye Feng looked at everyone for a while and finally spoke. "Your branch has been in the army for more than a hundred years. Since Zhenwei's great-grandfather, he has been fighting at the border. From an unknown soldier to a first-rank general, how much hardship he has endured, how much blood he has shed, and how many injuries he has suffered, all of which have been seen by the clan members.
Therefore, every branch of the Ye family respects you and is proud of you. No matter where you are, you are proud to be a member of the Ye family. Moreover, you are highly respected in your hometown because of the great contributions you have made to Northern Qi.
Thanks to your protection, other members of the clan are living well now. This is your merit and your contribution to the family.
The family has never forgotten you. When the two members of the family returned to Ping County for burial, we also used the highest burial ceremony of the Ye family.
As the clan leader, I always thought that your clan was the best off, and that you were all so glorious and honorable in the inner city of Lin'an. But I never expected that your glory was only for show to outsiders, and that you were actually living a miserable life. "
The old patriarch was very angry. He slammed the handles of his chair and his face turned red.
He wasn't just saying this for show, he was truly disappointed and felt so sorry for his cousin Ye Zhenwei.
Such a good person, obviously the most capable one, the highest official, but they trusted him and gave him the position of clan leader. But he did not do a good job as clan leader, and he didn't even know that his cousin had suffered such a great injustice. He thought that those people in the second house were from the Ye family, and he treated them well. He also told Ye Jingsheng that when his father was not at home, he had to respect his mother.
He was really blind. He didn't realize that this family had nothing to do with the Ye clan.
"Jiang Xiu!" He called out the old lady's name directly. The name Jiang Xiu severed the relationship between the old lady and the Ye family.
The old lady also shivered, and her body, which had been sitting on the chair, slid down involuntarily. Xiangdong and Ali looked at each other, and neither of them helped the old lady, and let her slide down to the ground.
Ye Feng continued, "The Jiang family saved my Ye family elder, which was a great favor to the Ye family. So after the Ye family elder returned to Beijing, he took out the most generous betrothal gift and asked the matchmaker to take it to the Jiang family to propose marriage, so that his most outstanding son could marry the Jiang family's legitimate daughter.
Your Jiang family is willing to do this, and you are willing to do it too. The Jiang family even promised that the daughter who married into the family would live a good life with her husband. When the husband is away fighting, she will take care of the family, be a good mistress, and bear children for her husband.
The Jiang family has repeatedly expressed to you that they sincerely agree to this marriage, and your father has indeed given up his career to facilitate this marriage. But since the Jiang family has made such a great sacrifice, why can't you abide by the code of conduct for women and be a good wife to Zhenwei? "
