【Chapter 038】Yisheng wakes up
Madam Ye Er clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her face looked so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.
Where could she get the 100,000 taels of silver as a betrothal gift?
Every time Ye Mingrui got some silver, he would never give her more than one hundred taels. Whenever she wanted more, Ye Mingrui would find all kinds of excuses to put her off, or use the old lady to pressure her.
But now Ye Mingrui has used Nangong Chenyu's 100,000 taels of betrothal gift himself, and wants her to make up for it. She is not a money house, so what can she use to make up for it?
Her family used to have some assets and gave her a lot of dowry. But her dowry was used to supplement the family income in the first few years after she married Ye Mingrui, and it had been almost spent.
Later, her mother's family fell into decline and she could no longer go back to beg for money.
They were almost unable to make ends meet at the time, and the old lady heard about Ye Xian from somewhere. Then he brought his family to Guyuan County to seek refuge with Ye Xian.
Now she only has about one thousand taels in her hand, which she saved bit by bit after coming to the Ye Mansion.
Because of her anger, Mrs. Ye Er didn't even think about whether what Nangong Chenyu said was true or not.
"Second Aunt, why don't you say anything? Don't you want to give me the betrothal gift?"
Nangong Chenyu's voice exploded in Madam Ye Er's mind like a devil's sound, making her dizzy.
"What did your second uncle tell you about the betrothal gift?"
"I asked him if my betrothal gift was with him, and he told me to come find you." Nangong Chenyu spoke nonsense without blinking.
"It is said that family disgrace should not be made public." Madam Ye forced a smile and said, "Second Young Master Nangong, I am not afraid of you making fun of me. To tell you the truth, your betrothal gift has never passed through my hands."
Nangong Chenyu immediately put away his nonchalant expression and became fierce: "Second Aunt, you two are not trying to take my betrothal gift and deliberately push the matter onto each other, right?"
Mrs. Ye Er felt so miserable that she could not even cry. It was a rare opportunity for her to tell the truth, but the other party did not believe her.
The two of them argued for a while, and then Xiaoliu and his group hurried over.
Seeing this, Nangong Chenyu stopped wasting time talking to Madam Ye Er and ordered people to start moving. All valuable ornaments and furniture that can be moved away should be moved away.
Of course, both Mrs. Ye’s small treasury and Mr. Ye’s private money were found by Nangong Chenyu and taken away together.
Looking at the empty room, Mrs. Ye Er began to cry sadly. Several maids and old women who were loyal to her kept comforting her.
There were also some clever maids, old women and servants who saw that the Second House was doomed, so they secretly stole their own indentures while Madam Ye had no time to take care of them.
"Mom, I heard that Dad was..." Ye Mengying ran into the house happily, but her voice stopped abruptly after seeing the scene in the room.
She stared in amazement at the room that looked like it had been visited by bandits.
When she saw her daughter, Mrs. Ye Er suddenly remembered something and stopped crying. She waved to Ye Mengying: "Ying'er, come here."
"Mom, where are the ornaments and furniture in your room?" Ye Mengying asked as she walked towards Mrs. Ye Er.
Madam Ye gnashed her teeth and said, "Young Master Nangong sent someone to move it away."
"How is that possible! He is just the son-in-law of the Ye family." Ye Mengying didn't think Nangong Chenyu dared to do this.
Madam Ye Er complained, "It's still your father."
"What does this have to do with my father?"
Ye Mengying couldn't help but wonder if her father had offended Nangong Chenyu when he went to the first house before.
The next moment, Madam Ye Er told her the reason.
"Your father accepted the betrothal gift from Young Master Nangong."
"Then why don't I just let my father return the betrothal gift to the other party?"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Ye Er became angry: "Who knows where your father spent such a large amount of betrothal gifts?"
Ye Mengying was not surprised that her father had used the betrothal gift. What she was curious about was, "Mother, how much betrothal gift did the Ye family give to the Second Young Master Nangong?"
"One hundred thousand taels of silver."
As happy as Mrs. Ye was at the beginning to get such a large amount of betrothal gift, she now regrets not opposing the amount of betrothal gift proposed by Mr. Ye.
Ye Mengying swallowed secretly. The most she had ever received as a monthly allowance since she was a child was ten taels of silver. What would one hundred thousand taels of silver mean?
Her father was such a spendthrift. He spent the 100,000 taels of silver without giving her any.
"Mom, are the things in your room worth a hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Mrs. Ye Er thought of something and immediately stood up: "Quick, go to your brother's yard."
Unfortunately, when the mother and daughter arrived at the yard where Ye Yongtao lived, Nangong Chenyu had already brought people there.
Fearing that her belongings would also be damaged, Ye Mengying hurried back to her yard.
Just as she had worried, she came back late. The fifteen taels of silver she had saved with great difficulty were gone, and the several expensive pieces of jewelry she had tricked her cousin into buying for her were also gone.
The Second House was in a bleak state, with dark clouds hanging over their heads.
The eldest wife was in a joyous mood, with the sun shining brightly overhead.
Nangong Chenyu is a very good person. Today, all the servants who went to the second house with him received rewards. He also did not miss the two guards who were guarding the boundary between the second and first houses.
After this incident, Nangong Chenyu's status in the hearts of the servants in the Ye Mansion rose rapidly. After all, no one would be stingy with money, and everyone likes a generous master.
Two days passed in a flash.
Ye Yishen, lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and saw the familiar bed curtains. He was used to it. Every time he fainted, he woke up in his own bed.
At this time, Xiaoshun's voice came to my ears.
"Master, you're awake."
Xiao Shun took a pillow and placed it on the head of the bed, then helped Ye Yisheng sit up on the bed. Then he poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Ye Yisheng.
After drinking the water, his throat felt less dry, and Ye Yisheng spoke up: "How many days was I unconscious this time?"
"Less than four days, a little more than three days." Xiao Shun answered while observing Ye Yishen's expression.
"Did you give me anything to eat during the days I was unconscious?" When Ye Yishen just woke up, he found that his body was not as weak as before.
"I have never given you anything to eat." Xiao Shun told the truth.
"Are you sure?"
"I am absolutely sure. If you don't believe me, I can swear on it."
Ye Yishen's brows frowned unconsciously. Could it be that his body was recovering?
Just as Ye Yisheng was lost in his thoughts, Xiaoshun spoke again.
"Although I have never given you anything to eat, your husband should have given you something to eat. Yesterday, I asked the doctor from Huichun Hall to come and see you. He said that you are now healthier than most people."
As he gasped for breath when he said this, Ye Yishen thought he was going to die. Thinking back to before he fell into a coma, Nangong Chenyu insisted on having a physical examination of him.
“Is the Second Young Master Nangong—” Before Ye Yisheng could finish his question, a gurgling sound was heard, and his stomach started to sing the empty city plan.
Xiao Shun said with great tact: "The porridge is on the table. I will bring it to you, or would you like to eat at the table?"
"No need to bring it over."
Ye Yishen put on his clothes, walked to the table and sat down. Seeing the steaming porridge, he asked, "How did you know I would wake up at this time?"
"My son-in-law told me." Xiao Shun quickly served the porridge and placed it in front of Ye Yisheng.
There was no need to ask, Ye Yisheng also knew that Nangong Chenyu was not a fool.
"Tell me about what happened after I passed out."
Xiao Shun began to tell the story vividly.
After he finished his story, he did not forget to remind: "Master, your uncle took great pains to save you, you must thank him."
Ye Yisheng put down the bowl of porridge and asked, "Did Second Young Master Nangong say what he wanted?"
"No. There's a saying -" Xiao Shun touched his head, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "If someone saves my life, I should repay him with my body."
Ye Yisheng: “…”
Suddenly, Xiao Shun slapped his forehead and said, "I have spoken out of turn. You and Young Master Nangong are already husband and wife. Giving yourself to me cannot be a token of gratitude."
Ye Yisheng: “…”
"But the uncle is not stupid anymore, he is still a monk." At this point, Xiao Shun couldn't help but give Ye Yisheng a sympathetic look: "I'm afraid the uncle doesn't think highly of you, right?"
Ye Yisheng: “…”
Perhaps realizing that his words were a little inappropriate, Xiao Shun hurriedly comforted him, "Master, you don't have to be sad. At least your uncle cured you. Although you lost your uncle, you gained a healthy body in return!"
Ye Yisheng: “…”
He never had it, so how could he lose it?
wrong.
How did he get led astray by Xiaoshun?
"I see you've been quite idle lately."
“It’s quite free.”
After saying that, Xiao Shun realized what he had said and quickly diverted Ye Yisheng's attention: "Runan hasn't found the person who can use Gu yet. The young lady hasn't left the house in the past few days, and the cousin of the second room is locked in the confinement room."
He took out the things Xiaoliu gave him and put them on the table: "These things were found by Xiaoliu on that young master. There was also a soft sword, which was taken by the son-in-law."
After taking a look at the things on the table, Ye Yisheng's eyes were immediately fixed on the token. The lotus pattern on the token was facing him, and he reached out and picked up the token.
Turn it over and take a look.
Just as he thought, there was a Chinese character “国” on the front. This is a token unique to the Imperial Master's Mansion, and he had seen it on Chu Jingcheng before.
Xiao Shun thoughtfully opened the map and said, "Master, this is the route map to the Ye Mansion's treasure house."
Ye Yishen held the token in one hand and tapped the table with the other, his eyes falling on the map. The thoughts in his mind became clearer and clearer, and soon he connected all the things into one.
"Did I get any results from what I asked Zhong Ming to investigate?"
Xiao Shun took out a small note and handed it to Ye Yisheng.
Ye Yisheng opened it and took a look.
There was only one word "yes" on the note.
Before, he heard Chu Jingcheng say that some cultivators had come to the Mortal Continent, so he asked Zhong Ming to go to Xiqi Kingdom in person to see if it was true.
After knowing that Chen Qiang was from the Imperial Master's Mansion, he suspected that Chu Jingcheng said this deliberately because he wanted to know the location of the Ye Mansion's treasure house.
Now it seems that Chu Jingcheng should have wanted to find an excuse to go to the treasury a long time ago, and it just so happened that a cultivator suddenly came to the Western Qi Kingdom, which gave Chu Jingcheng an excuse.
Otherwise, Chu Jingcheng would not have come to Ye Mansion in advance.
