Chapter 682 Ye Feiyu's Worries

Ye Feiyu lowered his head and said nothing.

He knew that everyone in his family liked Jiang Wanting very much. To be honest, he liked her too and had liked her since he was a child.

But it was not possible in the past. In the past, the old lady of the Ye family was interfering and did not let the eldest wife live well. The Jiang family was also worried that the court would be jealous of the marriage between civil officials and military generals, so they had always deliberately avoided it. He had extravagant hopes in his heart, but after failing to achieve them, he accepted his fate.

Now he doesn't have to worry about either side, but he has new worries.

The Ye family seemed to have solved some problems, and life seemed to have returned to a rare peace. But in fact, the situation was more complicated than before. For example, someone who looked like the fourth young lady was not the fourth young lady at all. Someone who looked like the second young lady was not the second young lady either. A strange soul took up residence in the body of the fourth young lady, and the soul of the fourth young lady took up residence in the body of the second young lady.

This was the big secret of the Ye family, and it was something that absolutely could not be told to outsiders. In his opinion, the fewer people who knew about this kind of thing, the better. Otherwise, once it got out, no one could control how outsiders would think about it.

Ye Wenyan is now the Empress, but what if someone points out that the Empress is a monster? Or someone says that Miss Ye is also a monster, what then? The common method used by the people to deal with monsters is usually to burn them to death, and he was afraid just thinking about it.

Therefore, Ye Feiyu didn't want to discuss marriage in such a complicated family background, for fear of making a mistake. But Jiang Wanting came to his house drunk, and he felt bad, but he still had to act ruthless and heartless.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Madam Mu had no choice but to say to Lan Meiyu, "Don't worry, I'll persuade him and ask him about it. If he has Wanting in his heart, I will welcome his daughter-in-law into the family. But if he really doesn't have Wanting in his heart, I can't bear to let Wanting suffer from her husband's lack of love, so let's just leave it at that. Meiyu, what do you think of this?"

Lan Meiyu nodded, "It can only be this way. If Feiyu really doesn't have that intention, then neither of them is lucky enough to do that. I promise that Wanting will never come to the Ye Mansion to make trouble again. We will stay away from the Ye family and find a good family for our daughter as soon as possible." After she finished speaking, she pulled Jiang Wanting hard and said, "Come home with me, don't embarrass yourself here."

Jiang Wanting was almost sober and felt quite ashamed, so she followed Lan Meiyu into the carriage without even raising her head.

Chi Feifei shouted from behind: "Wanting, you go back first, I will go home by myself." Jiang Wanting didn't bother to respond.

Finally, the Jiang family's carriage left. Chi Feifei breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and said to Ye Feiyu, "Brother Feiyu, don't blame Wanting or me for what happened today. So many ladies and young ladies at the Yanhua Palace banquet surrounded you, asking you in words and deeds if you have a favorite family. They all wanted to propose marriage to you, so how could Wanting not be anxious? You two grew up together, and we thought that since you agreed to the marriage with the Yu family before, you would definitely agree to the Jiang family as well! That's why we came to your house eagerly, but we didn't expect this ending. Think about it yourself, I'm going home too. Wanting is a good girl, and you won't get the chance again if you miss this opportunity. Don't hurt her heart."

After Chi Feifei finished speaking, she bowed towards Mu again, then left in the Chi family's carriage.

Without outsiders present, Mu had no intention of entering the general's mansion, so she turned around and walked towards the east house.

Seeing this, Ye Qingmei hurriedly followed behind and pulled Ye Feiyu with her.

Several people went to the front hall of the East House and sat down. It was already late at night, but no one was sleepy. Ye Qingmei wanted to change the topic to ease the current atmosphere, so she said: "Why haven't Yan'er and the others come back yet? Should we send someone to the palace to inquire?"

Mu said, "I've sent people to inquire about it a long time ago. They said they were all talking in the palace. They won't be able to go home until later, so they told their families not to worry about them." After that, she looked at Ye Feiyu again, "So, if you don't worry about the palace, you have to worry about your family. Feiyu, Madam Jiang is here today. She has made it very clear. I also want to hear the truth from you. Why did you reject this marriage?"

Ye Qingmei didn't understand, "Brother, if you say that you have no feelings for Wanting at all, I don't believe it. I still remember when we were little, Wanting came to play at home once, and she almost fell into the frozen lake in the middle of winter. You rushed to the ice to save her, not afraid that the unfrozen lake surface would crack. After rescuing her, you hugged Wanting and kept comforting her, your face turned pale with fear. You say you don't like her? I can list a bunch of things from our childhood, and it sounds like you fell in love with her in any of them."

Ye Feiyu smiled bitterly, "I do like her, but don't you think about it? With our family in this situation, how can we get engaged? What if there is any change? Will the engaged family be considered relatives or strangers? It's fine if it's a good thing, but if it's a bad thing, will the Jiang family be implicated? Mother, Qingmei, I don't want to consider this matter within two years."

"But Wan Ting won't be able to wait for you in two years!" "I don't want her to wait!" Ye Feiyu said very clearly, "She should marry a simple family and live a simple life. Although our family has an empress and looks glorious, it is actually walking on thin ice. Maybe I think too much, but I am just worried that once the relationship between Yan'er and Qingtong is known to outsiders, there will be a big mess."

When he mentioned this, Mu Shi and Ye Qingmei also fell silent. Yes, soul exchange, not just one person, but two people, this kind of thing must be kept secret for a lifetime, otherwise it will definitely cause trouble.

Can they guarantee that they can keep this secret forever? I'm afraid no one can guarantee it.

"Actually... it's not necessarily that pessimistic." Ye Qingmei said, "Yan'er is already the empress. For this kind of thing, you can ask Yan'er to talk to Lord Emperor Zun and ask Lord Emperor Zun to come forward and say that he replaced them. Wouldn't that explain it? Lord Emperor Zun is a god. Gods can do anything, and mortals dare not say anything." "Qingmei." Ye Feiyu looked at her and shook his head slowly, "We can't count on Yan'er for everything, otherwise if one day we don't have Yan'er's protection, we won't even be able to survive. You also know that Lord Emperor Zun is a god. How can a god come to help us at any time? There is another thing you may not know. Yan'er... is about to leave."

The words "Yan'er was leaving" made Mu and Ye Qingmei fall silent.

In fact, they have always had a feeling in their hearts that Ye Wenyan might not stay in Lin'an forever. She seemed to have something very important to do, and that thing should have been done long ago.

The reason why it has been dragged on is to resolve the Ye family's family affairs and avenge the two generals of the Ye family.

Now that everything that should be done has been done, she has made good arrangements for everyone in the family, not only leaving the family with a huge fortune, but also leaving a business that is sure to make money, as well as many connections in the capital. With these guarantees, even if the Ye family no longer has an official position, they can still live freely in the inner city of Lin'an. She has done so much and done it so well, but in fact, there is only one purpose, which is to let herself leave without worries.

Therefore, Ye Feiyu's concerns were not unnecessary at all. Once Ye Wenyan left, if something happened at home again, he would have to rely on himself.

But can they be relied upon to handle such a big thing on their own?

"Besides the matters of my two sisters, there is actually another matter that has been weighing on my mind." Ye Feiyu spoke again, his mood even more depressed than before. He said, "I believe that every man in this world wants his beloved girl to live a simple life. He also wants to show the best side of his family to his beloved girl. He doesn't want the girl to face the mess of her husband's family as soon as she enters the house. That would be very embarrassing."

He looked at Madam Mu and said softly, "Mother, have you ever thought about this? Father's death anniversary has passed. Many things have revealed the false prosperity and brilliance on the surface. The ugly facts are before us. Maybe it won't be long before the concubines and children that father kept outside come to our house. How can I face the Jiang family then? Whenever I think of these things now, I feel ashamed in front of Wanting and the Jiang family! So I think, using the excuse of the funeral as an excuse, we can postpone our marriage! At least wait until these things are resolved before we talk about marriage."

When Ye Feiyu talked about this, the Mu family was speechless. She was divorced, but that was only her personal ties with the Ye family. Her child was still the child of the Ye family and would still have to bear the responsibilities of the Ye family in the future.

She did not hide the truth from Ye Feiyu and Ye Qingmei. As a mother, she had the obligation to tell her children the real reason for the divorce. So when faced with Ye Feiyu's words, she remained silent.

Ye Qingmei sat for a while and smiled bitterly, "Forget it, big brother is right. It's really bad to think about it carefully. I also feel that if we discuss marriage, once these things are exposed, I won't be able to hold my head up in my husband's family. My husband's family will also look at our Ye family with a different attitude. I can't afford to lose face."

She stood up and took a deep breath. "The woman and the child outside are facts that already exist. We can neither deny nor reject them. Sooner or later they will come to our door and when that happens, the Ye family should be prepared to lose face once again!"

She bowed towards Mu and hurried away.

Mu sat for a while, then waved to Ye Feiyu, "Go after her and check on Qingmei. Don't let her feel too bad."

Ye Feiyu was worried about her, so Mu said, "It's okay, I'll sit alone for a while, you go!"

Ye Feiyu stood up to say goodbye. Mu put one hand on his forehead and felt a headache coming on.
