【Chapter 008】First meeting
The two servants standing at the door heard voices coming from inside the room and hurried into the room.
When they walked to the bed, they found that Ye Yisheng was not awake, but only uttered one or two words from time to time.
"Young Master, Young Master..."
I called a few times, but found that the person on the bed did not respond.
The servant Xiao Shun said to another servant Zhong Ming, "You stay here and I'll go call housekeeper Du."
Zhong Ming nodded: "Okay."
Not long after, Butler Du arrived, and with him came Doctor Chen from Chunfengtang.
Doctor Chen sat down beside the bed and took Ye Yishen's pulse.
Seeing Doctor Chen withdraw his hand from taking the pulse, Butler Du hurriedly asked, "Doctor Chen, how is it?"
Doctor Chen looked at Ye Yisheng on the bed with sympathy, and then answered Butler Du: "The patient is in a nightmare. As long as he breaks free of the nightmare, he will wake up."
Zhong Ming asked quickly: "What if I can't get rid of the nightmare?"
Xiao Shun glared at Zhong Ming and said, "How can you curse the young master like this? If you don't know how to speak, just shut up!"
Zhong Ming quickly covered his mouth. He had no intention of cursing the young master.
Doctor Chen: "Don't worry, your young master will wake up within three days."
Butler Du hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Doctor Chen."
Doctor Chen waved his hand, stood up and walked towards the table, continuing, "The patient's health was not good to begin with. This time he fell into a coma due to anger. Try not to stimulate him in the future. I will prescribe two doses of medicine to soothe the liver and regulate qi, and to promote qi and blood circulation."
After seeing off Doctor Chen, Butler Du looked at the sickly young man lying on the bed and sighed softly.
"well!"
"No, don't go..."
Ye Yisheng suddenly opened his eyes.
Xiao Shun, who was guarding the bed, said in surprise: "Master, you finally woke up."
Butler Du was also very happy: "It's good that he woke up, it's good that he woke up."
Zhong Ming poured a cup of hot water and handed it to Ye Yisheng: "Master, please drink some water first."
Ye Yisheng was half lying on the bed supported by Xiaoshun. He took the water handed over by Xiaozhang and drank a sip. Then he asked, "How long have I been unconscious?"
"One day and one night." Xiao Zhang took the cup.
Ye Yisheng nodded slightly, then turned to look at Butler Du: "Butler Du, tell me what happened before and after I fell into a coma."
Butler Du immediately told everything he had found out about Nangong Chenyu's marriage into the wife's family.
After listening, Ye Yishen lowered his eyes and thought.
After a long while, he asked again: "Didn't Young Master Nangong come to take his brother back?"
"Young Master Nangong came to the Ye Mansion this morning, but he left alone in the afternoon." Steward Du glanced at Ye Yisheng carefully and continued, "The son-in-law is still at the mansion."
Hearing the word "son-in-law", Ye Yisheng raised his eyes and looked at Butler Du.
Housekeeper Du said awkwardly, "If we don't call him son-in-law, and Old Madam Ye finds out, she will definitely say that we have no manners."
At this time, Xiao Shun came in with a tray: "Master, the porridge is ready."
"If there is nothing else, Housekeeper Du, you can go and get busy first!" After saying this to Housekeeper Du, Ye Yisheng looked at Zhong Ming again and said, "Change clothes."
"Yes." Zhong Ming immediately took out a set of clean clothes from the closet.
After putting on his clothes, Ye Yishen walked out from behind the screen and found that Butler Du had not left.
"Butler Du, is there anything else?"
As he spoke, he walked to the table and sat down.
A smell of medicine hit me in the face.
In addition to a bowl of covered porridge, there was also a bowl of steaming medicine on the table.
Suddenly, his brows furrowed.
Xiao Shun spoke up at the right time: "The doctor said to take the medicine first, then drink the porridge."
Ye Yishen really didn't want to take medicine anymore, because it had no effect and his body was as sickly as ever.
Xiao Shun often persuaded people to take medicine: "Master, think about the old master, think about the second young master, and think about the young lady."
Ye Yisheng: “…”
After Ye Yisheng finished drinking the medicine, Butler Du spoke up, "Master, I have one more thing to report to you."
Ye Yisheng glanced at Butler Du and motioned for him to continue.
Housekeeper Du: "Second Master Ye embezzled the betrothal gift that was supposed to be given to the son-in-law."
Ye Yishen paused while drinking the porridge and said, "Just swallow it." His second uncle often cheated him of money with various excuses, and he was used to it.
Steward Du reminded: "The betrothal gift is one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"How much?" Ye Yishen looked at Butler Du, his knuckles holding the bowl turning slightly white.
"One hundred thousand taels of silver." Butler Du repeated.
Ye Yisheng frowned: "We haven't come back yet, how did Second Uncle withdraw 100,000 taels of silver from the accountant?"
"Master Ye went to the bank to borrow it."
After a pause, Steward Du continued, "When the people from the bank came to ask for the silver yesterday, you had just vomited blood and fainted. I heard from the people below that the 100,000 taels of silver were given to the Nangong family as a betrothal gift, so I asked the accountant to settle the bill with the bank."
Steward Du lowered his head and blamed himself, "It's all my fault. I acted without asking clearly."
Ye Yisheng rubbed his brows and said, "Butler Du, don't blame yourself. You didn't have time to ask for clarification in the situation yesterday. The people from the bank chose to ask for the money at that time. It must have been planned by Second Uncle."
Seeing that the young master not only did not blame him, but also comforted him, Butler Du was so moved that his eyes turned red.
Compared with the Ye family's wealth, one hundred thousand taels of silver is nothing. But Ye Yishen felt that it would be better to throw the 100,000 taels of silver into the river than to give it to his ungrateful uncle. At least there would be a sound if he threw it into the river.
Although he was very angry, he knew that the 100,000 taels of silver could not be recovered.
"Butler Du still needs to worry more about the affairs of the mansion."
Wiping the tears from his eyes, Butler Du assured: "I will do my best to manage the Ye Mansion."
"I'm going to go see Second Young Master Nangong."
Having said that, Ye Yisheng stood up.
"Young Master." Steward Du hurriedly called Ye Yisheng and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Young Master is asleep."
Nangong Chenyu: ...I fainted, not fell asleep.
Ye Yisheng's mouth twitched slightly: "That's all."
He waved to Butler Du, indicating that he could go down.
Giving up the idea of going to see Nangong Chenyu, Ye Yisheng looked at Zhong Ming and ordered: "Zhong Ming, go get last month's account book."
"Young Master, why don't you take a rest?" Seeing that the young master looked like he was about to collapse at any time, Zhong Ming was really worried.
Ye Yisheng glanced at Zhong Ming and said, "What are you talking about? Go now."
The next day.
Nangong Chenyu woke up because he was hungry.
He was sitting at the table eating when he heard the servant at the gate of the yard calling out the three words "Young Master".
He was originally very casual, but he immediately adjusted his facial expression.
After a while, he saw a thin young man walking in against the morning light, being supported by someone.
The boy has fair skin, delicate features and a teardrop mole at the right corner of his eye, which looks very perfect. Even in the Xuanwu Realm, the boy's appearance would rank among the best.
What a handsome young man! ! !
