Peerless Beauty: Picking Up a Beast as My Husband

Perhaps Ye Jingming had been issuing too many orders to the Ye family recently, so a trusted confidant quietly came to the Ye family ancestral hall, which was also where the current head of the Ye family, Ye Jifeng, cultivated. Although Ye Jifeng had given Ye Jingming the title and power of acting head of the family, he had not relinquished all power and naturally had his own trusted confidants.

The visitor did not enter the ancestral hall, but stood outside and recounted the events in detail. No sound came from inside the ancestral hall, and after a long while, a sigh came from within.

"Let him do whatever he wants. As long as he doesn't offend that Spirit Lord, he doesn't need to report to me anymore. I will be in seclusion for the next few years to cultivate. I will have the five elders keep an eye on him. Even if he is no good, he is the only heir of my Ye family."

The visitor sensed the helplessness in his voice and blurted out involuntarily:

"Patriarch, if Young Master Yu were still alive, things wouldn't be like this now." He realized what he had said only then and quickly explained:

"Master, I misspoke." The voice inside the ancestral hall seemed to have aged even more.

"Very well, you may leave." After the visitor left, Ye Jifeng pushed open the door and went out. His hair was almost completely white, and his eyes revealed a deep sense of vicissitude.

Yes, if Yu'er were still here, how could the Ye family have become like this? He is old now, how many more years can he protect the Ye family? And Ming'er is so disappointing, bullying others all day long. His son is quite talented, but he has been corrupted.

Ye Jifeng held a jade tablet in his hand, which belonged to Ye Jingyu. The jade tablet indicated that the person was not dead, but despite not being dead, the people he had sent to search for him over the years had not sent back any news.

Yu'er, where are you?

After a long silence, Ye Jifeng spoke:

"Ye Jingshen".

A person walked out from the side room:

"Your subordinate is here. What are your orders, Master?" This man was Ye Jingshen, the steward of the Ye family who had bullied Ye Huasheng in Baicheng for sixteen years. Behind him was a servile servant, Ye San, who had advised him on that day.

"That child really practiced evil arts?" Ye Jifeng didn't even glance at the two kneeling before him. These two were merely collateral relatives who had been exiled to a remote city. They were only spared because Ye Huasheng had been sent there, and they were given a spiritual mirror that allowed them to contact him directly. The only reason he kept them here now was because they had spent the most time with her.

"As the head of the family said, what I said is not a lie. That day, Ye Huasheng practiced evil arts and injured all the members of my Ye family before running away. It's all my fault for being so stupid that I couldn't stop her!" Ever since Ye Jingshen was secretly brought back to the Ye family's main residence, he has stuck to this story and has never wavered. He knows that once the head of the family finds out that he is lying and how he has treated Ye Huasheng all these years, he will have no chance to turn things around.

A few days ago, he received news from his family far away. Although his son was blind and unable to speak, all his injuries had been healed. The pills bestowed by the master had greatly improved his talent. Moreover, to make up for their loss, they had also given him a lot of spirit jade. His family was doing very well at the moment.

Seeing his confident demeanor, Ye Jifeng remained silent. He had kept him around because his family was under his control. Although he had drawn a portrait of Ye Huasheng based on her description, there was bound to be some difference between the portrait and the real person. He needed to find her and have Ye Jingshen confirm it.

She was mediocre at first, with no talent whatsoever, but she was Jing Yu's daughter after all. He was busy searching for Yu'er's whereabouts, and it was really inappropriate to leave her in the huge Ye family. Besides, there was also Ming'er who wanted to compete for the position of family head. In order to prevent her from encountering any mishap, he ordered someone to send her to the remote Baicheng.

Nominally, she was being exiled, but in reality, her monthly allowance would still be paid every month. He never expected such a thing to happen. He had already made up his mind: if Ye Jingshen was lying about all this, and she was already capable of cultivation, he would bring her back to the Ye family and personally teach her; if she really went astray, he would personally end her life!

"Go down." After saying this, Ye Jifeng returned to the ancestral hall, and the hall's doors slammed shut.

Upon seeing the people enter the ancestral hall, Ye Jingshen and Ye San both took a deep breath. Then, at Ye Jingshen's signal, the two returned to the room.

Even after returning to their room, the two remained silent for a long time. Suddenly, Ye San began grinding ink and handed the brush to Ye Jingshen.

The paper slowly began to write:

"The fact that the patriarch has repeatedly asked about this matter shows that Ye Huasheng still holds a place in his heart. If he knew that we had not only taken her monthly allowance for so many years, but also humiliated her, he probably wouldn't let us off the hook."

"But now we must insist on her guilt. It's fine if it's only been a short time, but what if he really finds Ye Huasheng?"

Ye San didn't speak, but dipped his finger in ink and wrote a crooked "two" next to Ye Jingshen's name.

Before coming to the Ye family's main residence, he asked someone to teach Ye San many characters. Now he recognizes most of them, but he can only write a few. The reason for this was that the main family members were all highly skilled cultivators, and their hearing was much better than that of ordinary people. So, in order to prevent the two from revealing their conversation, they came up with this method.

When they arrived, they were surprisingly assigned directly to the head of the family. Thanks to this method, the two were able to discuss things and successfully deceive the head of the family, Ye Jifeng. Although Ye San was a servant, he was very clever, which is why he had always kept Ye San with him.

Ye Jingshen stared at the word 'two' without understanding it. After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up.

He picked up the pen and slowly wrote on the paper: "You mean the second young master, the current acting head of the Ye family."

Ye San nodded, confirming his guess.

Yes, Ye Huasheng is, after all, a descendant of the eldest young master Ye Jingyu. Ye Jingming and Ye Jingyu were sworn enemies when they were vying for the position of family head. Ye Huasheng was exiled to Baicheng before because she was a good-for-nothing and posed no threat, so he didn't care. But now that he knows that his descendant has considerable cultivation and that the family head wants to bring her back to the main family, he will definitely eliminate her as soon as possible in order to consolidate his own position.

If he informs Ye Jingming about her, he will surely receive protection!

The key is how to get the message to Ye Jingming without the patriarch's knowledge. Right, didn't he just say he was going into seclusion to cultivate? They just need to wait here patiently for the right opportunity. Once he's in deep meditation, they'll find a chance to send the message out.
