After the mind-reading and gossip-eating incident, officials in the imperial city were demoted one a

Why did Uncle Ji drink so much so early in the morning? We should find a chance to check his pulse!

Ye Yaoyao watched Ji Xiao's retreating figure with secret worry.

[Host, today is the memorial service for his wife and children.]

[A death sacrifice? Then I won't disturb him today.]

Ye Yaoyao understood that Liu Yunshu and the triplets also indulged Ji Xiao.

"What do you think January represents?" Ye Jingyang stroked his chin, lost in thought.

"What are your plans for the next month or a month from now?" Ye Xiyao guessed.

“I didn’t hear my uncle mention any political arrangements within the next month. However, Prince Jing is returning to the capital, and a banquet will be held in the palace two days later. Officials of the fourth rank and their families are required to attend.”

Ye Mian has been exempted from court sessions, and may not yet be aware of this news.

I really want to see what that unfortunate Prince Jing, who's been eyeing by the eldest princess, looks like.

[Host, you should first analyze what kind of conspiracy your scumbag father is plotting.]

The system fears that the host's inner thoughts might lead the triplets astray, so it has now taken on the mission of saving the triplets.

"Brother, I think the biggest thing lately is the imperial examination. That scumbag father went to the brothel to discuss how to prevent you from taking the imperial examination."

Ye Yaoyao spoke with absolute certainty.

“Yaoyao makes a good point,” Liu Yunshu nodded in agreement.

The eldest brother was the first to get into trouble, the second brother became the martial arts champion, but that will only happen after the exam next year, and then the older sister. The scumbag father will definitely target the eldest brother first.

I just don't know what their plan is. Sigh! I didn't find any information at the brothel. Maybe I should be more diligent and stake out my scumbag father's courtyard.

The system should be able to see through the scumbag father's bad intentions.

Ye Yaoyao sorted out the matter.

All eyes turned to Ye Li'an, who was currently in the most danger. After a discussion, everyone decided to focus on preventing any events that might occur within the next three months.

"Second brother, help me find someone, that Guo Deren."

"Guo Deren? He bullied you." Ye Jingyang frowned. He knew Guo Deren; his little sister had encountered this scoundrel at a brothel.

This guy almost bumped into me, mistaking me for a new girl. I drugged him and saved his life for a few days. So, I guess I'm his savior.

Sigh! What a loss. I didn't ask for any compensation. Ideally, it would have been a promising stock, and I could have collected some interest later.

"No, I want to investigate the mastermind behind Peony Pavilion. This person is a regular at brothels, so I might try to find out something by starting with him."

"it is good."

Ye Jingyang replied that it was good that he hadn't been bullied, but thinking that he must have been offended, his eyes darkened.

"Brother, isn't Zhao Qingrou going to marry into the Second Prince's household tomorrow? How's that scholar doing?"

“Zhang Zhuo was being watched, so they deliberately let him out at night.”

The things the Zhao family did to the Zhang family should not be tolerated.

“Little sister, that scholar is terrified of death. I scared him a few times, and he was originally wary of the Zhao family, but now he wants to drag the Zhao family down with him.”

Ye Jingyang's lips curled up with a hint of smugness. By impersonating a member of the Zhao family, he had successfully made Zhang Zhuo's descent into darkness even more complete.

Zhang Zhuo sneaked back home to hide, thinking he would be safe for a while, but that very night he was kidnapped and imprisoned.

Ye Jingyang told Zhang Zhuo that they were sent by the Zhao family to secretly observe his movements. Miss Zhao would be marrying the Second Prince in a few days, so it was not advisable to kill anyone at this time.

Once Miss Zhao enters the Second Prince's residence, his death is imminent. These past few days, Zhang Zhuo has been living in fear of dying.

Knowing he couldn't escape the Zhao family's surveillance, and after being imprisoned for a few days, he decided to go all out. He was afraid of dying, and before he died, he wanted the Zhao family to be buried with him.

Zhang Zhuo never forgot to find an opportunity to escape, and the people secretly observing him reported everything to Ye Li'an.

“Every moment of waiting to die was torture for Zhang Zhuo. I heard that he was often awakened by nightmares at night, his clothes soaked with cold sweat.”

Ye Li'an smiled coldly. He didn't think Zhang Zhuo was innocent. If he hadn't been scheming, he wouldn't have ended up like this. His little sister was the truly innocent one.

"Haha, then there will be a good show tomorrow."

Ye Yaoyao threw her head back and laughed loudly; the time for revenge had come.

"I'm going to check on my scumbag dad's injury."

“Little sister, I’ll go too.” Ye Jingyang and Ye Xiyao stood up at the same time.

"Let's go together!"

Ye Yaoyao waved her hand and led the two away.

When the three arrived at Qingzhu Courtyard, the servants saw them from afar and quickly ran to inform Ye Mian.

Ye Mian now values ​​his face the most, and the first thing he does when he gets up is to look in the mirror.

After using the medicine for three days, I felt a little relieved looking at my face in the mirror, which had returned to normal. However, I couldn't help feeling a pang of heartache, so I picked up the ointment and applied it to my face again.

Looking at the nearly empty ointment, he felt a pang of heartache. He had been fined a year's salary, and the medicine he used to treat his body for three days had cost him over ten thousand taels of silver. He had to get that money back from Liu Yunshu.

"Sir, the second young master, the third young lady, and the fourth young lady have arrived."

"What are these wretches doing here? Let them wait."

Ye Mian frowned, thinking to himself that the three of them coming here must be up to no good.

The three siblings only saw Ye Mian after they had finished drinking a cup of tea.

"Father," the three of them called out as they stood up.

"Hmm!" Ye Mian replied calmly, "What brings you here to see your father?"

“Father, I’ve come to bring you medicine. My second brother and sister have come to visit you. This is the ointment I got from the legendary doctor, Grandpa.”

Ye Yaoyao said with a well-behaved expression.

"No need, the wound on my face has already healed."

Ye Mian felt a lump in his throat. He only thought of finding medicine for him after his facial injury had healed. He really was a heartless person.

"Father's facial wounds healed so quickly," Ye Yaoyao said with a smile, looking at his face.

Ye Mian glared at her, clearly not wanting him to get better.

[System, what can you tell about this scumbag father?]

[Host, your scumbag father knew you came with ill intentions and had already prepared himself mentally. The system can't see through anything.]

My scumbag dad really knows me.

[However, he's still heartbroken that the ointment his scumbag father spent over ten thousand taels of silver to buy has run out.]

"It cost over ten thousand taels, so I need to have my mother keep a close eye on the money."

[Host, you two are truly father and daughter; you understand your scumbag father very well.]

Hehe, of course.

Ye Yaoyao was busy chatting with the system. Ye Xiyao and Ye Jingyang listened to Ye Yaoyao's thoughts and guessed what was going on in the chat. The two of them suppressed their laughter.

Ye Mian sipped his tea, and the servants in the quiet living room couldn't help but peek out to check.

"Cough cough!" Ye Mian coughed twice.

"Father, are you feeling unwell?"

"Someone, please fetch a doctor."

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just choked on the tea."

Ye Mian observed the three of them for a while. Ye Yaoyao sat there without saying a word, but her facial expressions were very rich.

The other two would glance at Ye Yaoyao every now and then, their expressions strange, as if they were about to laugh but couldn't.
