Chapter 85
After such a commotion, Ye Tianhui raised her hand and rubbed her forehead.
She had also drunk a lot of wine, so it would be a lie to say that it had no effect.
But now the father was sleeping soundly in the room, so she had to force herself to go to the kitchen to take a look.
Arong was carefully making soup. Today, she first alarmed the second wife, and then the two sisters quarreled. Everything was too exciting, and she could not intervene. She could only play dumb. She had
to keep her head down and do her work without hearing anything. This was the only way to keep this job.
Ye Tianhui was actually quite satisfied with Arong. She was a well-behaved and honest person who didn't meddle in other people's business. She
said immediately: "Just do your job quietly. I will talk to my husband later and ask him to give you a 10% increase in salary."
Arong was overjoyed and couldn't believe it. She thanked him again and again.
Ye Tianhui instructed, "When the soup is ready, go up and check on the master. If he wakes up and feels uncomfortable, give him some hot water. If he doesn't wake up, let him sleep well."
Ah Rong agreed naturally, and then said, "Oh, Miss, the phone in your room has been ringing just now, but I didn't answer it for you because it was inconvenient for me to answer it."
This was Ye Tianhui's instruction. She didn't like others to answer the phone for her. Ah Rong was always well-behaved and didn't dare to make her own decision.
Ye Tianhui understood immediately after hearing this. It must be Gu Shizhang.
When she left Gu Shizhang's place, he probably calculated the time when she got home so that he could call her. Since she didn't answer the phone, he couldn't help but worry. She
suddenly thought of his reluctant farewell when we just parted, and the lingering joy in her heart, and she felt dazed.
She had just gotten drunk, so it was inevitable that all her thoughts were going through her mind.
Others were confused when drunk, but she was the most sober when drunk, and she knew her own thoughts best.
She immediately went back to her room, picked up the phone and called Gu Shizhang
. The call was answered quickly.
This speed of answering the phone made Ye Tianhui feel a little sweet.
He must be waiting by the phone, waiting for her to call him back, waiting for her news.
The feeling of being cherished and waited for by others always makes people like it, especially after a night of tossing and turning.
Gu Shizhang said in a low voice: "What's the matter? Did you just get home?"
Ye Tianhui: "Well, it was quite lively after I left your house. I was busy for a long time. Now I just entered the room and was about to take a shower."
Gu Shizhang paused: "Did you drink?"
Ye Tianhui was a little surprised: "You know all this?"
She thought her voice was steady and no one would hear anything unusual.
Gu Shizhang snorted softly: "Can you hide it from me?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and said: "After leaving your house, Dad and I went out to drink. When we got home, the house was noisy again."
Gu Shizhang: "You went out to drink?"
Ye Tianhui: "Nothing, I just felt good and wanted to drink."
Gu Shizhang: "Oh?"
Ye Tianhui thought for a while and said: "After I drank, I figured out some things."
Gu Shizhang: "What did you figure out?"
Ye Tianhui: "I like it very much. I like you to call me Huihui, I like you."
She lowered her eyes and whispered: "I like you to kiss me, I like you to hug me, I like to be with you."
The other end of the phone fell silent, only his breathing sound came into Ye Tianhui's ears through the electromagnetic wires, gently tapping her eardrums.
This sound reached her heart, reminding her of that night a thousand years ago again.
She didn't understand this man before, but now, she seemed to have a codebook to decipher this man.
She finally understood what he hadn't said.
After a long time, Gu Shizhang's voice finally came: "He drank a little and started to go crazy. Can I think that people speak the truth after drinking?"
Ye Tianhui laughed softly: "I'm telling you something serious."
Gu Shizhang: "Hmm?"
Ye Tianhui: "It seems that there is a little trouble in our family. If someone calls you tomorrow and asks you about it, just say yes, yes. No matter what they ask, just say yes, yes."
Gu Shizhang: "What trouble did you get into?"
It was obvious that he wanted to use him as a shield.
Ye Tianhui: "It's just a small trouble. I'm too lazy to explain. Just say yes, yes, that's it."
Gu Shizhang: "...Okay, I remember, yes, yes."
After saying this, he said: "I may have to leave."
Ye Tianhui's heart paused: "Leaving? What leaving? You?"
Gu Shizhang: "I'm going to England. It may take some time before I can come back."
Ye Tianhui: "..."
Just going to England,
just go!
Gu Shizhang: "The horse race has started. If possible, I will come back to accompany you on the day of the boat race."
Ye Tianhui said bluntly: "No, you don't have to come back." Gu Shizhang:
"Huh?"
Ye Tianhui smiled: "You can also call me in the UK to encourage me. I don't have to get on the horse, why do you accompany me?"
Gu Shizhang: "You are so heartless."
Ye Tianhui laughed even more and said: "You just like people like me who are so heartless, don't you? Really?"
Gu Shizhang was speechless for a moment, and then he smiled after a while: "You have taken me for granted."
Ye Tianhui: "I don't care so much, if you go to England, bring me a gift when you come back!"
Gu Shizhang smiled and said: "I'm not leaving right away, I guess I can help you train horses a few more times before I leave."
Ye Tianhui: "Yeah, okay!"
After hanging up Gu Shizhang's phone, Ye Tianhui made two more calls, made some arrangements, and then went to sleep.
**************
Ye Tianhui slept very soundly that day and had a sweet dream all night.
When she woke up the next morning, Arong carefully mentioned that the master invited her to the main hall after breakfast.
Ye Tianhui nodded slightly, and after breakfast, she went upstairs to make a phone call and called Ye Lixuan.
Ye Lixuan was hungover and obviously had a headache, and looked at Ye Tianhui in confusion.
Ye Tianhui: "You are drunk and in trouble."
Ye Lixuan frowned: "I am drunk? I am in trouble? What trouble did I get into?"
Ye Tianhui: "You don't know now, right?"
Ye Lixuan: "?"
Ye Tianhui: "It doesn't matter if you don't know. Come with me to the main hall now. You will listen to me when the time comes. Just nod to whatever I say. If others ask you, you shake your head and you will have a headache."
Ye Lixuan frowned, raised his hand, and rubbed his temples: "Okay."
It was she who forced him to drink that caused this, and now she said so again.
It seems that at this point he doesn't need to have any ideas, just need to be obedient.
Ye Tianhui was very satisfied with this: "Daddy, let's go!" The father
and daughter went to the main hall together. When they arrived at the main hall, they saw that it was like a three-party trial. Everyone who could come was here.
Everyone had different expressions on their faces, which was quite interesting. It was obvious that they wanted to see the father and daughter make jokes.
This family... No one has a good heart.
The old man had a blank expression on his face: "Tianhui, what happened last night?"
Ye Tianhui: "Grandpa, what happened?
She seemed very confused and said: "Why are all of you here so early in the morning? What happened? "
Everyone was slightly stunned when they saw this. She pretended to be innocent!
The old man frowned and glanced at the second wife.
The second wife did not expect Ye Tianhui to pretend to be stupid. She sighed and said, "Old man, actually since Tianhui came home, I also wanted to teach her more and take her to meet the wives and daughters of Hong Kong celebrities. In two years, it will be time for her to get married. But now, she actually went out to drink with Lixuan... This, this will get out. It will be like what the rich girl's reputation has been ruined by her! "
When the second wife said this, she paused and looked at Ye Wenyin helplessly: "Besides, look, Wenyin was beaten like this..."
After saying this, everyone looked at Ye Wenyin, but saw that there was already bruises on her forehead and the corners of her mouth were red and swollen. It was obvious that she was beaten badly... Ye
Tianhui looked over. She was clearly just bumped last night, so why is her forehead and corners of her mouth red and swollen now?
There was no mark on the corners of her mouth last night.
How could she hurt herself?
Ye Wenyin lowered her head slightly, looking haggard and helpless: "Actually, it's nothing. It's my own fault. Tianhui didn't hit me... on purpose. "
She said this in a compromising manner, showing great awareness of the overall situation.
When everyone heard this, they felt a little sympathy . After all, Ye Wenyin was not the biological daughter of the family, and it was obvious that Ye Lixuan was on Ye Tianhui's side. It was not easy for Ye Wenyin at home.
After all, everyone grew up with Ye Wenyin since childhood, and they felt a little more sympathy.
Ye Lixuan was also surprised to see Ye Wenyin like this. He didn't expect that there would be such a thing as a fight? He really knew nothing about it.
He looked at Ye Tianhui with confusion between his eyebrows.
At this time, the second wife sighed: "For a big family like us, we must have rules in the end. No matter what, it is not right to beat and scold sisters. What do you think, old man? "
The old man frowned and said nothing.
Seeing this, Ye Lizhen next to him deliberately said: "Father, I think we should just forget about this matter. She didn't mean it. Wenyin has always been tolerant and will accept some grievances. Wenyin, right?"
Ye Wenyin lowered her head slightly: "Grandpa, second uncle is right. Don't be angry with Tianhui because of this. I, I don't really care."
She bit her lip slightly, her eyes moist, but she forced herself to say: "I won't go out these days, so as not to let people know. After all, Tianhui hit me, and it will not be good for Tianhui's reputation if it gets out. "
Ye Tianhui looked at this group of people talking to each other, but she was not in a hurry. She just listened to them talk.
The old man's wise eyes swept over, he naturally knew what everyone was thinking when they said this, he was indeed on Ye Tianhui's side, but Ye Tianhui was too much, he couldn't just let it go.
So he finally said: "Tianhui, let's talk one by one, did you really go drinking yesterday?"
Ye Tianhui: "Yes."
Ye Lixuan next to her said: "Father, I accompanied you to drink."
He said this, of course, to help Ye Tianhui, but Ye Tianhui had already said: "Dad accompanied me, and accompanied me to thank Uncle Gu."
Uncle Gu?
Everyone looked over.
Old Man Ye: "Uncle Gu?"
Ye Tianhui said: "Yes, it's Gu Shizhang, Uncle Gu. "
Grandpa Ye narrowed his eyes immediately and glanced at Ye Tianhui: "What's going on?"
Ye Tianhui said: "Since the last time Uncle Gu came to our house, I knew he was good at horse training, so I wanted to ask for advice. Yesterday, I encountered a difficult problem at the training farm, so I asked Dad to ask Uncle Gu for help. Uncle Gu was very enthusiastic and went to the training farm to help. So last night, Dad invited Uncle Gu to dinner, and I naturally accompanied him. During the meal, they got excited and drank a few glasses, and the result was-"
She was a little helpless: "But Uncle Gu and Dad have known each other for many years, so it’s not a big deal to drink a few more glasses now, right? "
Ye Lizhen couldn't help laughing when he heard it. Isn't this nonsense with open eyes?
It was clearly the father and daughter who went out to the bar to fool around last night, and now they are blaming it on others?
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Ye Tianhui: "Really, Shi Zhang drank with you last night?" "
Ye Tianhui: "Why, Second Uncle doesn't believe it? Could I lie to Second Uncle?"
She laughed and looked at the old man: "Grandpa, if it really doesn't work, then call Uncle Gu now and see what he says?"
Seeing her so determined, Ye Lizhen was also confused for a moment.
Ye Tianhui immediately said, "Dad went out to eat and drink with others just for me. We are old friends, so what's the problem? Dad is almost 40 years old. Even if he was having a party with friends, what's wrong with him having a glass of wine? But someone immediately informed the news and brought a group of people to watch, as if he had done something terrible? Is this the rule, to let a group of young people watch an elder get drunk?"
She mocked, "I don't understand. We are a wealthy Ye family, what kind of rule is this?"
When she said this, the second wife's heart sank.
Old Master Ye thought it made sense. He looked at the Second Madam and said, "It was already late last night. What happened? Can't we wait until tomorrow to talk about it?"
The Second Madam hurriedly smiled and said, "Since you were drinking with Shi Zhang, I naturally couldn't say anything. It's just that I came back drunk and was afraid of being laughed at, so I went to ask."
Ye Tianhui: "Second Madam, I know you are just concerned, but I am curious. When Dad and I came back last night, it was already late. We I didn't dare to disturb others. I drove the car directly to the front door of my house. How did you know that my dad was drunk in the middle of the night? Who told you?"
She looked at everyone and said coldly: "I want to know who is staring at my dad like this, fanning the flames when he drinks, and running over to grab a 60-year-old woman? What is this person's intention? Does he want to make the young master's drinking known to everyone and make the old lady angry to death?"
Old Master Ye frowned.
The expression of the "old lady" mentioned was particularly ugly.
Ye Tianhui looked at Grandpa Ye: "Grandpa, what are the rules in our family? How can we live like this? How is this family managed? After being busy outside all day, I can't sleep well when I go home. Instead, this one is yelling and that one is arguing, you stare at me and I stare at you, and suddenly someone complains. What a mess!"
She said this bluntly, and the second wife's face changed suddenly. She immediately asked: "Tianhui , what do you mean by that? "
Ye Tianhui: "What can I mean? I'm just telling the truth, Second Madam, have you seen Dream of the Red Chamber? Dream of the Red Chamber clearly states that if such a big family is attacked from outside, it will not be killed immediately. It must first start from the inside to destroy itself before it can be completely defeated!"
After hearing this, everyone dared not say anything. This anger was obviously directed at the Second Madam.
Obviously, no one dared to offend the Second Madam, but Ye Tianhui was not someone who could be easily provoked, so she just hid and pretended to be stupid.
The second wife also felt something was wrong, and hurriedly said to the old man: "Old man, last night I--"
The old man raised his hand directly: "No need to say!"
He frowned and said: "Tianhui is right. Our Ye family has many descendants and many branches, but I also hope that you can live in harmony. No matter how hard you work outside, you can be quiet when you return home. If you intrigue and fight every day, how can you live like this? Lixuan is not a child anymore. Even if he is For those who study at school, if they encounter a drinking party, what's wrong with drinking a few glasses of wine? As for Tianhui--"
He continued: "Although Tianhui is a girl, she is in charge of horse racing affairs outside, and it is inevitable to encounter some social events. Second Madam, why do you have to restrict her with your woman's views?"
The second wife was speechless for a moment. She was just disciplining Ye Tianhui, why did it become a "woman's view" now? The old man didn't say it was not okay before, right?
But no matter how wronged she was, she didn't dare to say anything.
It was obvious that Ye Tianhui was a talkative person, and she led the old man astray with just a few words.
And anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was bias. The old man was obviously biased towards Ye Tianhui!
Seeing this, Old Master Ye said, "These nannies, security guards, and servants in the house still need to be managed from a young age. Let's do a check in the next two days and let a few young people in the family check. Those who should be managed should be managed, and those who should be dismissed should be dismissed. Those who gossip should be dismissed, so as not to ruin the family tradition here!"
Young people?
Everyone looked over. Is this going to sideline the second wife?
The second wife's face became more and more ugly, and she said embarrassedly, "What does the old man mean?"
Old Master Ye looked at Ye Lizhen and said, "Lizhen, you pick a few people and let the young people manage them and check all the people in the house."
Ye Lizhen immediately felt something was wrong.
He looked at Old Master Ye and then at the Second Madam, and said tentatively, "Then let Tianhui, Wenyong, and Wenjing come to check?"
Old Master Ye: "Let them? Is it appropriate?"
The Second Madam listened and was extremely amused. Old Master Ye clearly wanted to give Ye Tianhui power, but he didn't say it himself and deliberately let Ye Lizhen propose it. Ye Lizhen proposed it, and he deliberately played dumb again!
Ye Lizhen hurriedly said, "It should be okay, or do you think there are other candidates?"
Old Master Ye: "Since you said so, I'll listen to you."
So it was immediately decided that several young people would check all the servants in the Ye family.
Ye Wenyong frowned slightly and glanced at Ye Tianhui.
In fact, the servants in the house were obviously controlled by her grandmother and father. Now that Ye Tianhui had come in, Ye Tianhui would naturally have to take control of some of the power of employing people.
Once she got involved, she would of course place her own spies, which meant that her foundation in the Ye family became deeper...
Seeing this, Ye Wenyin on the side never thought that Ye Lixuan and Ye Tianhui ran out to drink and got drunk openly, but the strict and disciplined Master Ye would let it go so easily? And Ye Tianhui took the opportunity to take power? The second wife was also embarrassed?
She frowned slightly, thinking of Feng Suqin. If Feng Suqin came, wouldn't she be squeezed out even more? In that case, she would have no place to stand at home...
She bit her lip and moved slightly.
In fact, the noise she made was very small, but the main hall was too quiet and the second wife noticed it immediately.
The Second Wife glanced at her and said, "Master, I accept what you said. It's my fault. I shouldn't have used those rules to control Tianhui. I'm ignorant..."
She smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "What about the beating of Wen Yin? Yes, Wen Yin is not our biological daughter, but she is also a lady in our family. Since when can we beat people at will?"
She took a deep breath and her eyes gradually became moist: "If our family can make such a fuss in the future, then I have nothing to say. I'm old and can't keep up with the times. I'm old and useless, so I might as well not be a housekeeper!"
She was obviously angry, her voice was a little hoarse, and at the end she was even sharp and hysterical.
Old Master Ye sighed: "As an elder, you don't have to be angry. Tianhui was wrong, and she should be punished."
At once, he asked, "Tianhui, what happened last night?"
Everyone looked over and understood that since the Second Madam had said so much, the old man was obviously trying to manipulate her and at least save some face for the Second Madam.
Ye Tianhui naturally knew what the old man meant. He wanted to give each of them fifty lashes, and it was her turn to be beaten.
She immediately said, "Grandpa, I brought Daddy back last night. Daddy was drunk and feeling uncomfortable, but Wenyin insisted on getting in front of me and arguing with me about something important. We had an argument, and when I wanted to go back to my room, she insisted on stopping me, and I pushed her away in a hurry. It was indeed my fault."
Grandpa Ye frowned, "Why did you have an argument?"
Seeing this, Ye Wenyin next to her knew that Ye Tianhui wanted to change the subject, and hurriedly said, "It's just an unimportant matter." Ye
Tianhui glanced at Ye Wenyin indifferently, "An unimportant matter? If it was a small matter, why did it get to this point?"
Ye Wenyin became uneasy when she heard this, and she looked at Ye Lizhen for help.
Ye Lizhen also frowned, and was about to speak, but Ye Tianhui had already said: "Grandpa, actually what we are arguing about is very simple. It is related to a person, and that person is in our big-"
Ye Wenyin suddenly interrupted Ye Tianhui: "Just hit me if you want to, why bother to bring up other things? Why do you have to force me?"
She had tears in her eyes: "I know you are excellent in all aspects, and I can't compare with you. Even if I get beaten, I won't say anything!"
After that, she stood up, covered her face and cried.
Ye Lizhen winked at his daughter Ye Wen'e, who understood immediately and went forward to coax Ye Wenyin, and said: "If you feel uncomfortable, I will accompany you back to your room to rest first?"
Ye Tianhui looked at Ye Wenyin's fuss, but was unmoved: "Grandpa, anyway, this person is already at our door. It's up to her whether she wants to see him or not."
Ye Wenyin was so angry that she trembled when she heard this .
On the one hand, she was angry that Ye Tianhui was forcing her to a dead end, and on the other hand, she was angry that Ye Lizhen was so useless!
Old Master Ye frowned: "Who, who is outside the door?"
Ye Tianhui smiled and looked at Ye Wenyin and Ye Lizhen: "I'm afraid Wenyin doesn't want to see each other, can you let her in?"
Old Master Ye heard this, his eyes were like lightning, and he immediately looked at Ye Wenyin.
Ye Wenyin's face turned pale: "I don't know what you are talking about!"
Ye Tianhui: "In that case, Grandpa, then please invite her in?"
Everyone was surprised when they heard this, and they had no idea what Ye Tianhui was up to.
Old Master Ye nodded and motioned to the housekeeper beside him, and the housekeeper went to do it.
The main hall was quiet for a while, and Ye Wenyin frowned, obviously feeling uneasy.
Ye Tianhui casually talked to Old Master Ye about what happened at the horse farm yesterday, and mentioned that Gu Shizhang wanted to help her train horses. Old Master Ye was naturally happy to hear this.
Ye Wenyin was of course surprised when she first heard the name Gu Shizhang. She didn't expect Ye Tianhui to actually curry favor with Gu Shizhang!
But soon her mind returned to Feng Suqin. When she thought of Feng Suqin, she felt uncomfortable all over.
At this moment, she was sitting on pins and needles.
At this time, the housekeeper had returned, but he led a person into the living room.
Everyone was curious and stretched their necks to look over. They saw that it was a woman in rough clothes. She looked to be about 45 or 46 years old. Her short hair was greasy and stuck to her forehead. Her temples were a little gray. The whole person looked shabby and unruly.
The woman was obviously completely out of tune with the magnificent occasion of the Ye family. She walked in the lobby a little restrained and looked at everyone with a confused look.
Her eyes quickly fell on Ye Tianhui. After all, this was the person she was most familiar with in the crowd.
When she saw Ye Tianhui, she was surprised: "Tianhui, yes, it's you?"
She was actually a little afraid to recognize him.
At this time, Ye Tianhui, dressed in fashionable clothes and outstanding temperament, sat there, looking down at her, a strange look that she dared not imagine at all.
Such Ye Tianhui even reminded her of the third young lady in the past!
Feng Suqin trembled her lips and did not dare to speak.
At this time, Ye Laozi said: "Who are you and why are you in front of our house?"
Feng Suqin heard this and her body suddenly paused, then she looked over tremblingly.
She looked at Ye Laozi for a long time and finally recognized him.
She rushed over, slammed, and knelt in front of the old man: "Old man, you have to make the decision for me, old man, I beg you, you have to make the decision for me!"
She spoke with a Beijing accent, which was naturally very familiar to Ye Laozi.
At that moment, Master Ye was also surprised. After carefully identifying her, he said, "You, you were the one back then..."
Other people around him also gradually recognized her. Back then, Feng Suqin was a maidservant beside Ye Lixuan's wife. Although so many years have passed, her appearance has not changed much, and everyone knows her to some extent.
Master Ye frowned in surprise: "Why is it you?"
Seeing this, Ye Wenyin panicked and lost her composure.
She knew this was a terrible thing, but when she looked at Feng Suqin, she thought that this person was her biological mother. As a result, her biological mother actually knelt in front of the old man, calling him "old man" all the time, just like a slave in the old society!
This really pulled her possible identity down!
She was so anxious that she said subconsciously: "Grandpa, this person, this person is a lunatic. I met her yesterday. She is a lunatic. She was instructed by someone..."
When she said this, everyone looked at her.
At this time, people suddenly remembered that this woman was Ye Wenyin's biological mother!
The second wife frowned, looked at Ye Wenyin, and then looked at Feng Suqin. They did look a bit alike. The face and the eyebrows were really alike!
At this moment, Ye Lixuan, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and said, "Feng Suqin, it's you."
He stepped forward and grabbed Feng Suqin's collar and said, "Tell me, what happened back then?"
Feng Suqin suddenly came to the magnificent hall. She was so scared that her courage was about to fly away. Suddenly, she first saw the majestic old man from the past, and then saw the third young master Ye Lixuan. She was naturally shocked and trembling all over.
She knelt there and cried, "Master, Master, it's you. I finally met you! I came to Hong Kong this time just to explain everything to you!"
Ye Lixuan grabbed her collar tightly, "Tell me, how did the Third Young Lady disappear? Why was my daughter replaced by someone else? It was all your fault, wasn't it!?"
His voice was hoarse and full of anger.
This was completely different from the indifferent and calm Ye Lixuan of the past. The people around held their breath for a moment when they saw this scene.
Ye Tianhui watched all this from the side, but she was not angry at all. It's
useless to go to war to accuse someone. Anyway, the dead cannot be resurrected, and the 18 years of growth of the replaced child cannot be compensated.
Even if this person admits it, what does it matter?
At this point, with her ability, it would be easy to kill her right there, but it would be too easy for her to die like this.
So she advised him, "Daddy, don't be anxious. Just talk slowly. Let her go and let her finish her words."
Seeing this, Old Master Ye said, "Lixuan, calm down."
Ye Lixuan closed his eyes in pain and retracted his shaking hands.
Then he looked at Ye Tianhui, but saw that Ye Tianhui's eyes were particularly calm, so calm that it seemed that there was no emotion at all.
Ye Tianhui: "Daddy, what's the point of you being anxious? Sit back first. I think you drank too much. Maybe you are a little emotionally unstable?"
She supported Ye Lixuan and said, "Come, sit down first."
Then, she looked at Feng Suqin and said, "Now you can talk."
