The old patriarch was naturally displeased. Did these lowly people not want to serve him?

The fact that they can serve this ancestor is surely a testament to the good deeds accumulated by their ancestors for eight lifetimes.

The few remaining servants in the ancestral home were summoned before the patriarch and told not to ask where the others had gone.

How could a few servants possibly answer that?

In a fit of rage, the old patriarch killed all the servants.

This made Ye Bingkun tremble with fear in front of the patriarch, because he was also scolded, and he felt very unbalanced.

He hadn't served his ancestor for decades. As a big shot at the Beijing Academy of Sciences, everyone fawned over him. So, being treated like this by some jerk really made him furious.

Now there are no servants, the kitchen is empty and cold, and no one is making breakfast.

Moreover, the already limited food reserves were depleted last night, leaving almost nothing to eat but rice, noodles, and pickled vegetables.

"Ancestor, please calm down. I will arrange for someone to send it over immediately."

Of course, he took out all the anger he suffered here on Ye Shiming.

Ye Shiming was in a terrible predicament. He called the housekeeper at the villa to have someone send food and supplies, and then his uncles and aunts, who were stuck in the ancestral home, took on the role of servants.

They were miserable, always being waited on, and now they had to do the work of serving others, so of course they were clumsy.

An uncle with gray hair brought tea to the old ancestor's room.

At this moment, the ancestor was in a state of agitation, as if the pleasant feeling he had experienced last night was just a dream.

He saw this junior and thought he was old and ugly, so regardless of whether the junior was old or not, he kicked him in the chest.

The poor uncle was sent flying on the spot, crashed to the ground, and died.

"Damn it! After being secluded for so long, these descendants are as weak as paper!"

Ye Shiming had no choice but to step forward and desperately try to appease the old ancestor.

But the matter could no longer be kept secret, and the uncles and elders working in their respective positions all learned of it.

They simply couldn't believe it. Wasn't their ancestor supposed to protect the Ye family's prosperity? How could he be so cruel?

I really want to go home.

Several days have passed since the ancestor emerged from seclusion, and their reverence for him has completely faded.

The ingredients finally arrived, but Ye Shiming somehow forgot to ask Butler Lu to send a few more cooks, though it was highly likely he deliberately forgot.

Ye Shiming and his uncles were all bad at cooking, so in the end only Ye Bingkun went into the kitchen, grumbling and cursing, to make breakfast for his ancestor.

The old ancestor barely managed to control his inner turmoil, and out of consideration for Ye Bingkun, who was his right-hand man, he refrained from making things difficult for him for the time being.

I've had breakfast.

The old man looked at himself in the mirror again and again, admiring his youthful appearance, and couldn't help but become lost in it.

I've always disliked my aged appearance, but suddenly I look young again, and it feels like the past 100 years have become bland.

He picked up a servant's phone today and scrolled through it for a long time before realizing that times have changed.

He was drawn to this dazzling world, things he had never experienced before, and he wanted to experience them again and again.

Unbeknownst to him, the ancestor's physical strength was being depleted very quickly.

This inexplicably reminded him of the delicious food he had eaten at the banquet yesterday.

The last dish of vegetarian cabbage and the bottle of fine wine, in particular, left him with a lingering, delightful aftertaste.

"Come on, Ye Bingkun, let's go into the secular world and see what kind of delicacies the capital has now."

Ye Bingkun was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"No, ancestor, you must not go out casually now. This is no longer the capital city of more than 100 years ago."

"Please wait a couple more days, until I've made the arrangements."

Ye Bingkun said countless kind words to appease the old ancestor.
