【Chapter 051】Proposing Marriage
Seeing Ye Yixin staring straight ahead without saying a word, Qiu Yu thought she still cared about Fu Jianren and called out to her twice worriedly.
"Miss, Miss."
Ye Yixin came back to her senses and turned to look at Qiu Yu.
"Miss, a man like Fu Jianren is not worth your sadness. He and Zhou Mei were already engaged, and they deliberately deceived you. Their purpose from the beginning was to cheat you of your money, so please don't..."
"Stop it." Ye Yixin quickly spoke up to stop him: "Didn't you see with your own eyes a poisonous insect crawling out of my body yesterday? The reason I fell in love with that bastard Fu Jianren was because of that poisonous insect."
When Ye Yixin thought about her performance in the past two months, she felt a chill.
"A bastard like Fu Jianren is not something I would ever see. I am obsessed with looks and I reject ugliness."
In the eyes of others, Fu Jianren may look okay, but in Ye Yixin's eyes, he is not good enough. Their whole family is very good-looking, so her aesthetic taste is naturally high as well.
"Besides, I have everything I want at home, I have money, I have time, and I have a brother who dotes on me. You must be kicked in the head by a donkey to suffer the pain of love."
"Miss, you are right to think so." Qiuyu was very pleased.
"I've been through these two months thanks to you and Qiuyue. If it weren't for you, I would have been taken advantage of by that bastard Fu Jianren." After she came to her senses, the only thing she was thankful for was that Fu Jianren hadn't even touched her hand.
"Although Fu Jianren didn't take advantage of you, he cheated you out of all your money," Qiu Yu reminded.
"You little girl, why are you bringing up such things?" Ye Yixin pretended to be angry.
"Miss, don't be angry." Qiu Yu knelt down and continued, "I dare to say that when you asked me to pay Jianren some money before, I took a small portion of it many times."
At this point, she took out two fifty-liang silver notes from her sleeve, raised them above her head, and handed them to Ye Yixin: "These are the silver notes that I left behind. I hope Miss will forgive me."
Ye Yixin was overjoyed and didn't expect such a surprise. She took the banknote and pulled Qiuyu up.
"Forgive me, miss. I just want to say you did a great job! Next time I'm not acting normal, keep doing this."
Finally, I don’t have to eat porridge and side dishes anymore.
Qiu Yu: "It's good that the young lady doesn't blame me."
At this moment, Qiuyue hurriedly pushed the door open and said, "Miss, the young master is here."
Hearing this, Ye Yixin looked around the room and quickly put the banknotes in her hand into a jewelry box on the dressing table.
As soon as she put it down, Ye Yishen walked in.
Qiuyu and Qiuyue greeted him: "Young Master."
Ye Yisheng nodded and looked at Ye Yixin: "Xiao Xin, what were you doing just now?"
"No, nothing."
Because she felt guilty, Ye Yixin spoke incoherently.
Ye Yisheng glanced at the dressing table behind her and said without exposing her: "I am here to tell you that Fu Jianren is dead."
Without asking, Ye Yixin also knew that the deaths of Fu Jianren and Zhou Mei were related to her eldest brother.
"Thank you, brother."
"You're welcome. This is what a big brother should do."
Ye Yisheng never shows mercy to his enemies.
If their family is attacked fatally, they will be protected by the life-saving means left by their mother. But for something as non-lethal as a poison, the life-saving means left by the mother would not be activated.
If Nangong Chenyu hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have known that Yun Cheng was poisoned. One can imagine what the final outcome of their family was.
Ye Yisheng touched Ye Yixin's head and said apologetically: "It was because of my brother's negligence some time ago that Fu Jianren succeeded in casting a curse on you."
"This is not my fault, big brother. It was my own carelessness that led to Fu Jianren's trap. In my heart, big brother is the best big brother. In the future, I will listen to big brother and never let him worry about me again."
As he spoke, Ye Yixin seemed to have made up his mind: "Brother, you are not in good health, so you should rest more in the future. I can also help with the family business."
Qiu Yu served the tea and said at the right time: "Master, the young lady is very good at calculating accounts."
Ye Yishen didn't expect that after this incident, he would get a helper. As for the fact that I’ve recovered, I’d better continue to keep it a secret! This will also give younger brothers and sisters something to strive for.
"I'll ask Xiaoshun to bring over the account book that Runan just handed back to the mansion."
"Don't worry, brother. I will never let you down." Ye Yixin promised, patting his chest.
Ye Yisheng took a sip of tea and asked, "By the way, do you know why Fu Jianren cast a spell on you?"
Ye Yixin said as a matter of course: "Of course, they are after the money of our Ye Mansion."
Ye Yisheng: "Yes and no."
Ye Yixin: “???”
Ye Yisheng explained: "He is just a pawn in the hands of others."
Ye Yixin understood immediately: "So there is someone behind this?"
Ye Yisheng nodded.
Ye Yixin asked: "Brother, do you know who is behind this?"
"I know, National Master Chu Jingcheng."
"How could it be him?" Ye Yixin was shocked.
"Of course the Ye Mansion has what he wants."
Knowing what Ye Yixin wanted to ask, Ye Yisheng didn't wait for her to speak and continued, "What he wanted has been given away by me."
The implication is don't ask.
Ye Yixin naturally understood what her elder brother meant, and wisely did not ask. Since that thing can bring disaster to the Ye family, it might as well be given away.
Ye Yisheng continued, "Although Chu Jingcheng was the man behind the scenes, the one who really decided to cast a curse on father, second brother, and you was Huo Zichen."
“It’s actually him!”
Ye Yixin was really surprised this time.
Based on her elder brother's attitude towards Huo Zichen, she thought Huo Zichen was just the young master of Southern Xinjiang, and the poisonous insects were bought by others from the people of Southern Xinjiang.
It turns out that the person who made her act like an idiot for two months was Huo Zichen! Damn young master, he caused her to lose several thousand taels of silver.
Where's her knife?
She's going to fuck that guy.
Suddenly she thought of something and asked, "Brother, are you really going to let Huo Zichen go?"
"I promised him before that as long as he removes the poison for you, I will let him leave the Ye Mansion alive." Ye Yisheng said.
"Brother, what you said before were just temporary measures, right?" Ye Yixin didn't want to let go of the person who hurt him.
“I’m a man of my words.”
Leaving these words behind, Ye Yishen came over.
“Brother, brother…”
Looking at Ye Yisheng's leaving back, Ye Yixin stomped her feet in anger.
Qiu Yu advised, "Miss, please don't be angry. Don't you know the young master? The young master said that he would let the man surnamed Huo leave alive, but he didn't say whether he would lose any limbs."
Ye Yixin rolled her eyes and said, "I'm angry because Big Brother won't let me take revenge myself."
Qiuyu: “…” As expected of brother and sister, it turns out the young lady knew the young master’s plan.
After leaving Xinxi Garden, Ye Yishen went to Yunqi Garden.
At that time, Nangong Chenyu was teaching Ye Yuncheng sword moves.
Seeing Ye Yishen coming, the two stopped.
"Brother, why are you here?" Ye Yuncheng walked up to Ye Yisheng and asked. Didn’t the three siblings have a secret conversation last night?
"I have something to tell you." Ye Yisheng said.
"You guys chat, I'll go somewhere else." Nangong Chenyu consciously made room for the two brothers.
"Second Young Master Nangong." Ye Yisheng stopped Nangong Chenyu who was about to leave: "You don't have to avoid it. It's not something you can't listen to."
The three of them sat down in the pavilion.
Ye Yisheng spoke first: "Yun Cheng, the person who poisoned Xiao Xin has been dealt with. What do you think about this?"
After thinking for a while, Ye Yuncheng said, "There's no need to keep the Qi Mu brothers and sisters."
Ye Yisheng raised his eyebrows: "What else?"
"What else?" Ye Yuncheng was confused.
Nangong Chenyu, who knew the inside story, reminded: "Don't you need to get back the money you lost?"
Ye Yuncheng touched his head embarrassedly: "The person who cast the spell on me was not Hua Yueyi, and the things I gave to her were also my own will. Can I get them back like this?"
Nangong Chenyu knew that Hua Yueyi was the heroine, and as the beneficiary, it was impossible for her not to know the inside story. In this situation, if it were him, even if he wanted to burn the things, it would not be a good thing for the heroine.
Ye Yishen held his forehead with his hand, wondering why his second brother was so stubborn and not as decisive as his younger sister.
"Go back to the house and take a look yourself."
Ye Yuncheng stood up blankly and asked subconsciously: "What are you looking at?"
"See if there is anything valuable in your room." Ye Yishen said unhappily.
Ye Yuncheng chuckled and sat down again with gritted teeth.
"Brother, why don't you give me some advice, what should I do?" He was really embarrassed to go to a girl and ask for something that had already been given away.
"Think about it yourself." Ye Yishen gave him a look that was disappointing.
Ye Yuncheng: Having never suffered from the harsh treatment of society, he really couldn't think of any solution.
"Goff, give me some advice."
Nangong Chenyu said: "I do have a plan."
Ye Yuncheng looked at Nangong Chenyu with hope in his eyes: "Brother, do you have any good ideas?"
Nangong Chenyu gave four words: "Come and propose marriage."
Ye Yuncheng widened his eyes in disbelief: "Brother, you actually let me marry that ugly girl Hua Yueyi!" What does he want by asking him to marry someone who is not half as pretty as him and who doesn't have him in her heart?
With a "huh", Nangong Chenyu gave him a look of disdain: "You want to marry her, but she may not want to marry me yet!"
Ye Yisheng thought about what he had found out, and immediately decided, "It's decided. I'll immediately ask someone to find a matchmaker, and tomorrow morning I'll have Butler Du go to the Hua family to propose marriage."
Ye Yuncheng was dumbfounded.
"Brother, do you want to listen to what you are saying?"
Ye Yishen glanced at him and said nothing.
Ye Yuncheng changed his target: "Brother, is this a test for you to accept me as your apprentice?"
Nangong Chenyu did not answer but asked: "How much money did you give to Hua Yueyi?"
Ye Yuncheng calculated silently in his mind and stretched out a finger.
"Ten thousand taels?" Nangong Chenyu guessed.
Ye Yuncheng glanced at Ye Yisheng secretly before replying, "No, it's one hundred thousand taels."
Nangong Chenyu said speechlessly: "You just say you don't want one hundred thousand taels of silver?"
"Don't I have no confidence to come back?" Ye Yuncheng said weakly.
Nangong Chenyu: “…”
The next morning.
Butler Du led twenty guards, brought a meagre dowry, and went to the Hua family with the matchmaker.
