Zhan Xuan's eyes immediately turned red, he couldn't bear to leave Ye Li.
He couldn't explain what that feeling was like, but he knew it was as painful as losing the most precious and valuable thing.
The two of them fell silent. Outside, a servant's voice could be heard whispering, "Master, Madam and Miss Wen Fu have already left the young master's courtyard!"
Ye Qian pushed Zhan Xuan and said, "Go quickly. I'll keep watch outside for you!"
When Zhan Xuan saw Ye Li, he was sitting alone under the candlelight, with his chin in his hand, in a daze.
After not seeing him for a few days, he looked even thinner and thinner.
Zhan Xuan couldn't help but scold in a low voice: "Ye Li, did the Duke's Mansion starve you? How did you make yourself look so dead? You've ruined all the meat that my mother worked so hard to raise for you!"
The moment Ye Li saw him appear, he immediately became lively.
The haze in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a surprised smile.
He asked anxiously: "Boss Xuan, why are you here?"
Zhan Xuan saw his mischievous and lively appearance, raised his hand and rubbed his head hard: "Of course I came to see you, you have no conscience, I can't be disloyal!"
Ye Li hugged his arm and shook it: "I'm sorry, Boss Xuan, it's not that I have no conscience, it's just that my mother is very strict with me. She told me that before I get married, I can't go out of the house to see guests!"
Zhan Xuan couldn't help but complain, "Your mother said that, and you only listen to her?"
Ye Li explained aggrievedly: "I just don't want my late grandmother to rest in peace. You should know very well that my grandmother loved me very much!"
Zhan Xuan said helplessly: "You silly child, your mother is using your respect for your grandmother to restrain you. Her last wish is a shackle, forcing you to wear it voluntarily!"
Ye Li gave a bitter smile: "Boss Xuan, I understand what you said, but I shouldn't act recklessly anymore. I am the second son of the Duke's Mansion. I should support the family together with my brother. Mother raised the two of us alone, it was really not easy!"
When Zhan Xuan saw his gloomy little face, he was speechless.
It turned out that he was willing to obey Madam Ye's orders, so why was he wasting his breath here?
He instantly held his breath, and he asked without hesitation, "What about me? What am I in your eyes? Can you hold me and cry when you need me, but kick me away when you don't?"
Ye Li looked at him in astonishment. He didn't expect that Boss Xuan would get so angry.
Zhan Xuan also felt quite ashamed of herself. Why did she look like a nagging woman?
He really didn't want to see Ye Li again, so he turned around and left quickly.
However, just as he reached the door, he heard a puzzled voice outside: "Eldest Young Master? Why are you standing outside? Second Young Master should not be asleep yet, right?"
Ye Li's expression suddenly changed. He rushed to Zhan Xuan and hugged him, urging him: "Hurry, Boss Xuan, hide quickly. Don't let Wen Fu find you, otherwise she will complain to my mother!"
Zhan Xuan frowned and asked, "Your room is clearly visible, where do you want me to hide?"
Ye Li pointed at the bed and said, "Go lie down inside!"
Zhan Xuan rolled in as he was told, and Ye Li quickly undressed and spread out the quilt to create the illusion that he had already gone to bed.
At this time, Wen Fu was knocking on the door outside: "Second Young Master, I am here to bring you some tranquilizing soup on the orders of my wife. She is worried that you are not sleeping well, so she asked me to bring it to you. Please open the door first!"
Ye Li subconsciously refused: "I've already gone to bed, there's no need to drink the tranquilizing soup, just go back and report to mother!"
However, Wen Fu refused to leave and continued to knock on the door stubbornly.
Without waiting for a response, she questioned, "Second Young Master, are you hiding someone in your house? Just now, the eldest young master was outside under the eaves saying we were admiring the moon. Are you two colluding to deceive me?"
Zhan Xuan, who was hiding in the quilt, felt his eyelids twitch when he heard this. Ye Qian would not lie. Any reason he gave was better than admiring the moon.
Who would go to someone else's yard to admire the moon?
Ye Li obviously thought the same thing. He was afraid that Wen Fu would go to his mother to complain.
He frowned and looked at Zhan Xuan: "Don't make any noise, I have to welcome her in and dispel her doubts!"
Zhan Xuan muttered sullenly, "Please, send her away quickly!"
Ye Li got off the bed and quickly opened the door.
He asked in a dissatisfied tone, "What do you mean? Why did you slander me by saying there was someone hiding in the room? Is it because I have such a good temper that you think I'm easy to bully?"
Wen Fu didn't expect him to get angry suddenly. She thought he would always be gentle, timid and kind.
She quickly apologized ashamedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't control my words, please don't blame me, Second Young Master!"
Ye Li still had a stern face: "Put down the tranquilizing soup, and leave quickly!"
Wen Fu subconsciously raised her eyes and looked around the room, but there was nothing unusual.
But the curtains on the bed were ajar. Could there really be someone hiding there?
Thinking of this, she clenched her fists tightly.
She was silent for a moment before she said, "Second Young Master, when I came here before, Madam told me to embroider a mandarin duck quilt cover for you. I don't know the size, so I need to measure the one you're wearing now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she walked quickly towards the bed.
Ye Li was so frightened that his face turned pale. He rushed over to stop him: "No, you can't touch my things!"
He stood in front of Wen Fu, his eyes filled with undisguised anger.
Wen Fu's eyes flushed red with grievance, and she sobbed sadly, "Second Young Master, you and I are about to get married. You should know very well that there are many things I don't want to do, but are the orders of my wife. Can you please understand and be considerate of me?"
Ye Li stubbornly stopped him: "Even if you and I want to get married, you can't do whatever you want in my room. This is the rule, you must abide by it!"
Wen Fu refused to give in: "Second Young Master, you are so nervous, is there some unspeakable secret in this tent?"
Ye Li's heart immediately sank to the bottom. Was he really so useless? Even Wen Fu could see that he was guilty?
Just when he didn't know how to answer, Ye Qian walked in and said, "Let me see, is there a beautiful woman hidden in my second brother's tent?"
He suddenly opened the tent slowly, and found nothing unusual except the scattered quilt.
Wen Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She immediately took a half step back and said, "Eldest Young Master, please don't joke with the Second Young Master like that. He's about to get married, how could he have a mistress hiding in his house?"
Ye Qian raised his eyebrows: "Didn't I help you look after it? Why are you still complaining?"
Wen Fu quickly bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Master. It was Fu'er who was rude!"
Ye Qian waved his hand: "Go back and report to my mother quickly. It's getting late, we should all rest!"
