【Chapter 009】Research on Jade Pendant
With her sickly look, Ye Yisheng is a sick beauty. No wonder his elder brother would misunderstand that he fell in love with Ye Yishen. Nangong Chenyu just glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and then focused his attention on the food in front of him.
He is a fool now.
You can't look at people openly.
Walking into the room, Ye Yishen saw a young man in white clothes sitting at the table, holding a chicken leg in one hand and chopsticks in the other, eating with relish.
In Ye Yisheng's impression, Nangong Chenyu was a fat man weighing more than 300 pounds. Before coming, he was well prepared, but he didn't expect to meet a handsome young man.
Xiaoliu hurriedly bowed: "Master."
Ye Yisheng nodded slightly.
Seeing Ye Yisheng looking at Nangong Chenyu, Xiaoliu walked to Nangong Chenyu and said, "Son-in-law, the eldest young master is here."
Nangong Chenyu: “…” I’m not blind!
He is just a fool now. Even if the king comes, the fool will only see chicken legs.
Seeing that Nangong Chenyu seemed not to have heard and ignored him, Xiaoliu raised his voice and repeated: "Son-in-law, the eldest young master is here."
Nangong Chenyu looked up at Xiaoliu, with the words "I'm unhappy" clearly written on his face. For a stupid foodie, disturbing him while he is eating is equivalent to stealing his food.
"The eldest young master is here." Xiao Liu pointed at Ye Yisheng who was already sitting aside.
Nangong Chenyu looked in the direction Xiaoliu's finger was pointing. When he saw Xiang Ye Yisheng, his originally dull eyes lit up. Then he gave Ye Yisheng a silly smile.
"You are so good-looking, beautiful!"
In his eyes there was only appreciation for beautiful things, without a trace of impurities.
Ye Yishen was used to all kinds of looks, including contemptuous, disdainful, obscene, pity, sympathy, envy, jealousy, and resentment. This was the first time he saw someone looking at him with such pure eyes.
When Xiaoliu and several servants heard Nangong Chenyu's call, they subconsciously looked at Ye Yishen. Their eldest young master hates being called "beauty" the most.
Butler Du, who came in later, heard the word "beauty" and his left foot tripped over his right foot and he almost fell. He was afraid that the eldest young master would be angry, and was about to say a few words for Nangong Chenyu.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Chenyu spoke first.
"Although you are good-looking and a beauty, you are not as pretty as me." After saying that, Nangong Chenyu didn't care about the expressions of the people present and started to eat the chicken leg again.
Butler Du's mouth twitched slightly, and he quickly said to Ye Yisheng, "Master, don't be angry, my uncle... doesn't understand anything."
After saying this, Butler Du realized that Ye Yishen didn't seem to be angry. Because he saw a hint of smile in the eldest young master's eyes.
Damn it, he must be seeing things.
Rubbing his eyes, Butler Du looked at Ye Yishen again. But I happened to meet a pair of cold eyes.
Butler Du asked with a stiff face: "...Master, what do you want?"
"When did Young Master Nangong become thinner?" Ye Yisheng didn't know why he asked this question, and he regretted it as soon as he asked it.
Butler Du: I never expected the young master would ask this question.
“Not sure.”
Xiao Liu said: "I know that my uncle started to lose weight more than half a year ago."
Ye Yisheng nodded with a wooden face.
After Nangong Chenyu finished his meal, Ye Yisheng called him, "Second Young Master Nangong."
Nangong Chenyu pointed at himself: "Are you calling me?"
Facing Nangong Chenyu's ignorant eyes, Ye Yisheng was silent for a moment, and said in a coaxing tone: "I'll ask Butler Du to send you back and give you some silver, so that you can have chicken legs to eat every day at home."
Ye Yisheng was a mature young man. He started managing accounts at the age of ten and helped his father run the shop at the age of fourteen. Due to his poor health, he rarely leaves home and stays behind the scenes.
That is why, after Ye Xian fell into a coma, the Ye family’s business was not affected at all.
Nangong Chenyu thought to himself: I do want to leave, but your grandmother will definitely not let me go.
He replied, "No, I won't go back."
Ye Yishen didn't expect Nangong Chenyu to refuse. The Ye family had no shortage of food for Nangong Chenyu. The reason why he wanted to send Nangong Chenyu away was because his grandmother disliked their eldest branch and his second uncle was eyeing their eldest branch's property.
If Nangong Chenyu, a fool, is left in Ye Mansion, he might be harmed if he is not careful.
"Why don't you want to go back?"
Nangong Chenyu pouted and said, "Big brother will give the money to others."
Thinking of the fact that Young Master Nangong was called "Nangong the Good Man" by everyone, Ye Yisheng suddenly felt a headache.
"Don't chase me away. I will listen to you." Nangong Chenyu completely put himself in the role of a fool: "I only want one chicken drumstick every day."
Seeing Nangong Chenyu's pitiful look, Ye Yisheng suddenly had the illusion that he was bullying a child.
"Just stay here and enjoy your life."
Ye Yisheng stood up and walked out of the room with the help of Xiaoshun.
The figure looked like he was fleeing in panic, and Nangong Chenyu's mouth corners lifted unconsciously.
Butler Du hurried to follow.
After walking out of the yard, Ye Yisheng instructed Butler Du: "Help me make an appointment with Young Master Nangong."
It’s better to send away a fool who knows nothing.
At this time, Ye Yisheng had no idea that his idea would never come true.
Butler Du: "Yes."
Ye Yisheng thought about the fact that he hadn't seen Yun Cheng and Xiao Xin since he woke up yesterday, so he couldn't help but ask, "What are Yun Cheng and Xiao Xin doing recently?"
Butler Du didn't know how to answer for a moment.
Ye Yisheng stopped and asked: "Butler Du doesn't know either?"
Butler Du hesitated for a moment before saying, "I heard that the second young master and the young lady have been close to the third young lady of the Hua family in Dongcheng recently."
Ye Yisheng asked: "What else?"
"The second young master took a lot of valuable items from the room to pawn, and the young lady also pawned some precious jewelry."
The prices in Guyuan County are not high. Yuncheng and Xiaoxin’s monthly allowance is five taels, and they used to have some surplus every month.
Suddenly, when money was not enough, he did not ask the accountant for withdrawals, but secretly pawned things.
Although Butler Du did not explicitly say where Yun Cheng and Xiao Xin spent the pawn money, Ye Yishen guessed that it must have something to do with the third young lady of the Hua family.
"Ask someone to find out about the Hua family, especially the third young lady of the Hua family."
"I have already asked someone to inquire about it. There should be news in a couple of days."
If Nangong Chenyu were here, he would definitely sigh that his brother-in-law's dog-licking attribute has been activated and his sister-in-law's love brain has also grown.
After Ye Yisheng left, Nangong Chenyu said to Xiaoliu, "I'm going to sleep, you go guard the door. You are not allowed to come in unless I call you."
"yes."
Xiaoliu left the room happily. He felt that his son-in-law Nangong Chenyu was very easy to serve. He would eat and then sleep, and then eat again after waking up.
After chasing Xiaoliu away, Nangong Chenyu took off his shoes and climbed onto the bed. Sitting cross-legged on the bed, he began to study the crescent-shaped pattern on the palm of his hand.
In the storybook, the jade pendant did not disappear after the male protagonist dripped blood to recognize its owner.
