【Chapter 033】The Best Second Master
【Chapter 033】The Best Second Master
Xiao Liu wiped the blood off his face, bared his teeth at Madam Ye Er, and felt proud.
The two guards dragged Chen Qiang and hurriedly followed.
Madam Ye's maid came forward and helped her up.
"Madam, are you okay?"
"Go back, go back." Mrs. Ye Er's voice was trembling.
After both parties left, a girl of about thirteen or fourteen came out from the corner with two maids.
The girl was Ye Mengying.
She heard the servants report that someone was beating Chen Qiang, and wanted to come over to see Chen Qiang being bullied. As a result, we saw Nangong Chenyu quickly drawing his sword.
That handsome sword struck her heart directly. Look at that poor man Chen Qiang. He is neither good at literature nor martial arts. When he is beaten, he can't even fight back.
Looking at the direction where Nangong Chenyu and the others disappeared, she asked the maid beside her: "Who was the young man who drew his sword on my mother just now?"
Her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were full of spring water. The two maids couldn't help but look at each other and mourned for Madam Ye Er in their hearts.
One of the maids replied, "Miss, the young master who drew the sword is the Second Young Master Nangong."
"Second Young Master Nangong?" Ye Mengying frowned slightly. "My eldest cousin's idiot son-in-law? Why do I feel like he's not stupid?"
Two maids: "..."
Fu Shangyuan where Mr. Ye Erye lived.
Seeing Madam Ye Er coming back, Master Ye Er, who was eating dried fruit, asked casually, "Why did you come back so soon?"
Upon hearing Mr. Ye Er's voice, Mrs. Ye Er seemed to have returned to her soul. She took a few steps forward and grabbed Mr. Ye's sleeve: "Mingrui, you must save Chen Qiang."
"Chen Qiang, what happened to him?"
Master Ye didn't like this nephew. He always felt that Chen Qiang, an orphan with no money or power, was not worthy of his beautiful daughter.
"My nephew was taken to the main house by the idiot." Madam Ye Er wept and said, "Not only that, the idiot also hurt my hand. He pointed a sword at me and threatened me."
Madam Ye Er took away the blood-soaked handkerchief, revealing her injured right hand.
Seeing Madam Ye Er’s bleeding hand, Master Ye Er suddenly felt a dull pain in the palm of his hand as well. He hurriedly shouted to the servants, "Quick, go to the doctor."
Madam Ye Er's maid replied respectfully, "I have already gone to invite them."
"Bandage the lady first to stop the bleeding." Master Ye continued to give instructions. He held Madam Ye's hand, his face full of heartache and worry.
Mrs. Ye was deeply moved, but she did not forget the main purpose of her return: "Mingrui, I'm fine, you go and save Chen Qiang first."
Master Ye frowned slightly. He didn't want to go to the first house for Chen Qiang. He even hoped that the first wife would lynch Chen Qiang, or even kill him. This way he could report to the police and kill two birds with one stone.
Sitting still, Ye Erye asked calmly: "Why would a fool let someone take Chen Qiang away? A fool put a sword against you, would he use the sword?"
Thinking of what happened just now, Madam Ye Er suppressed her uneasiness in her heart: "I feel that the fool is not stupid, but just like what Taoer said, he is a bit like a madman. At that time, the fool looked at me as if he was looking at an ant."
"That's impossible. Everyone in Guyuan County knows that Young Master Nangong is a fool." Master Ye still didn't quite believe it.
"If you don't believe it, you can ask Chunhuan and the others."
Mr. Ye Er immediately turned his gaze to Madam Ye Er's maid.
Chun Huan quickly said: "I lowered my head at that time and didn't see anything."
"I didn't see anything either."
"So do the servants."
Several maids and old women said they didn't see it.
Madam Ye Er was furious: "What's the use of you?"
"Don't be angry, Madam." Ye Erye comforted her gently, "I will go to the main room right away."
He decided to meet Nangong Chenyu to see if he was a fool.
However, Mrs. Ye Er thought that Mr. Ye Er was going to save her nephew, and she was very happy.
She also carefully reminded him: "Chen Qiang is honest and dutiful. He will definitely have great fortune in the future. Don't let the first wife ruin his reputation. In case the first wife doesn't let Chen Qiang go, Mingrui, you should bring a few more people with you."
Ye Erye: "...Okay, I understand."
As soon as he walked out of Fu Shang Garden, Mr. Ye saw his daughter.
"Dad." Ye Mengying called sweetly.
"It's Ying'er, your mother is in the room." After saying that, Mr. Ye was about to leave.
Ye Mengying called out to Ye Erye: "Dad, where are you going?"
"Dad has something to do and needs to go to the main room."
Ye Mengying walked a few steps to Ye Erye's side: "Dad, let Ying'er go with you!"
"What are you doing in the main room, a boudoir lady?"
Mr. Ye's expression remained unchanged. He still wanted his daughter to find a rich husband. With Chen Qiang as her ex-fiancé, her reputation is already inferior to that of other ladies in the boudoir. She must never be allowed to do anything that would damage her reputation again.
"I'm going to find my cousin." Ye Mengying knew what her father cared about, so she naturally wouldn't disobey him in person.
"Haven't you always been at odds with that girl Ye Yixin?" Master Ye cast a suspicious look at Ye Mengying's face.
Ye Mengying's expression remained unchanged as she lied, "I saw a very beautiful hairpin at Jinxiufang yesterday."
She didn't finish her words, but Master Ye understood what she meant.
The father and daughter went to the main room with their own thoughts.
As a result, he was stopped by two guards at the archway that was the only way to the main house.
"Get out of the way." Master Ye glared at the two guards angrily.
One of the guards said: "We are just following orders."
Ye Erye narrowed his eyes slightly and asked: "Whose orders are you following?"
The two were silent.
Ye Erye asked suspiciously: "Is Ye Yisheng awake?"
The two continued in silence.
Seeing that the two were silent, Master Ye knew that the person who gave the order was not Ye Yishen, and that sickly guy must not have woken up yet. Then the person who gave the order must be Butler Du without a doubt, because his mother caused a commotion yesterday morning.
Butler Du: ...I got the title of scapegoat for no apparent reason.
"Humph, I want to see who dares to stop me."
After saying these harsh words, Ye Erye rushed straight to the other side of the archway. He was certain that the guards of the Ye Mansion would not dare to attack him.
However, he didn't know that the person who gave the order not to allow the second wife to go to the first wife was Nangong Chenyu. Not to mention Master Ye, even if Old Madam Ye came, Nangong Chenyu would order the guards to beat her up.
The next moment, the two guards raised their sticks and attacked Ye Erye without hesitation.
“Ah~ah~”
Master Ye felt pain and stepped back quickly.
When the two guards saw him retreating back to the second house's territory, they stopped fighting.
Ye Erye pointed at the two people and wanted to curse: "You..."
The two guards waved the sticks in their hands in a demonstrative manner, and Ye Erye's unspoken words were stuck in his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe.
Not daring to scold the guards, Master Ye pointed his gun at the servants who followed him here: "You are a bunch of useless people. The master was beaten, but you are hiding behind the master. Who are the masters, you or me?"
"Everyone will have their monthly salary deducted for two months."
The servants lowered their heads and dared not refute.
After Ye Erye had vented his anger, Ye Mengying stepped forward and said, "Dad, calm down."
Taking a deep breath, Mr. Ye said angrily, "It must be Du Yuan who prevented us from visiting your uncle and cousin. Soon, the Ye family will probably have to change their surname to Du."
Seeing Steward Du walking towards them from the other side of the archway, Ye Mengying suddenly had an idea and said, "Dad, don't say that about Steward Du. He has worked hard for the Ye family over the years. My uncle and cousin are very grateful to him, and he can be considered half the master of the Ye family."
"Half a master! What kind of a master is he?" Ye Erye said disdainfully, "He just relied on my eldest brother's trust and took advantage of my eldest brother's unconsciousness to take his place and seize the property of my Ye Mansion."
Ye Mengying was surprised: "Dad, maybe you are mistaken. Steward Du looks honest and doesn't seem like someone who would occupy the master's property."
Ye Erye snorted, "If he is honest, he should leave the Ye Mansion on his own initiative."
The father and daughter exchanged glances secretly. They both said that at this point, if Butler Du didn't want to be misunderstood as wanting to seize the Ye Mansion's money.
The next step is definitely to leave Ye Mansion!
Butler Du, who happened to hear the conversation between the father and daughter, said: "..." I will not leave the Ye Mansion, and your second branch will be so anxious.
He said as if nothing had happened: "I wonder what business has the Second Master come to the big room for?"
"Alas, I didn't want to come, after all, my eldest brother is still unconscious. It's just that my nephew stayed in his room well, but was arrested by Young Master Nangong for no reason." Master Ye sighed.
Butler Du has not yet received the news that the man in black has been caught. He had heard from Xiaoliu before that Nangong Chenyu did nothing but eat and sleep every day. Therefore, he expressed doubts about what Ye Erye said.
"Is what Mr. Ye said true?" he asked the guard in a low voice.
"My cousin is the assassin from last night. Xiaoliu also found a stack of banknotes on him." The guard spoke without suppressing his voice at all, and even deliberately spoke louder so that everyone on the other side of the arch could hear it.
Ye Erye refuted without thinking: "Impossible, how could Chen Qiang be an assassin?"
Not to mention that Mr. Ye didn't believe it, even Butler Du thought it was impossible. Chen Qiang has a very low presence in the Ye Mansion. The impression he gives everyone is that he is not good at socializing, is honest and dutiful, and doesn't know how to fight back when being beaten.
Although he thought it was impossible, Steward Du did not show it on his face: "Whether it was an assassin or not, we will decide when the eldest master wakes up. If the second master is fine, please go back!"
"If you want me to go back, you have to release Chen Qiang or let me meet Chen Qiang. Who knows if you can torture him into confessing?" Master Ye was interested in Chen Qiang's banknotes at this moment, so he would naturally try his best to save him.
"Second Uncle wants to come to the main room. How can you stop him? Please invite Second Uncle over." Nangong Chenyu's voice suddenly sounded.
Everyone looked at him.
He grinned at the crowd.
When he returned to Yiranju, he hadn't even sat down in the chair yet. Someone came to tell him that Master Ye had come to the first house to cause trouble again.
He loved dealing with this kind of top-notch stuff the most, so he came here excitedly. Fortunately, he arrived in time and Mr. Ye had not left yet.
The two guards guarding the gate: “…” Didn’t you ask us to stop them?
