【Chapter 052】Ye Xian wakes up
The master of the Hua family was a scholar named Hua Deming. His wife, Hua Lu, had two sons and one daughter. The eldest is a son named Hua Jianshu; the second is also a son named Hua Jianbai, and the third is a daughter named Hua Yueyi.
Hua Deming also has a younger sister who is ten years younger than him, named Hua Lingyao.
Hua Lingyao was abducted by a beagle when she was five years old. By some strange coincidence, she was taken to southern Xinjiang and eventually became the saint of southern Xinjiang.
A year ago, Hua Lingyao came to Guyuan County and accidentally saw Hua Yueyi, who looked 50% similar to her. After making some inquiries, she found out her own life experience.
It is said that scholars are poor and juren are rich.
Hua Deming is just a poor scholar.
As the Saint of Southern Border, Hua Lingyao has no other abilities, but she has cultivated a lot of poisonous insects. Hua Lingyao used a poisonous insect to move the Hua family from the slums of West City to East City where the rich live.
Hua Lingyao obeys Huo Zichen. After receiving Huo Zichen's order to deal with the Ye family, she chooses Fu Jianren, who has the lowest status among her niece's admirers, to help her complete the task of dealing with Ye Yixin.
It just so happened that Fu Jianren's mother was ill and in urgent need of money. Fu Jianren agreed without hesitation as he thought that plotting against Ye Yixin would not only solve the problem of money, but also please his sweetheart.
So Fu Jianren asked Zhou Mei, who was engaged to him, to help him deceive Ye Yixin. Half of the money defrauded from Ye Yixin was given to Hua Lingyao by Fu Jianren. The other half was divided into two parts. He kept most of it for himself and only gave a small part to Zhou Mei.
Zhou Mei and Hua Yueyi were good friends. Until her death, Zhou Mei did not know that the cousin she treated wholeheartedly was actually her good friend.
Originally, Hua Lingyao had chosen Hua Yueyi as the person to plot against Ye Yuncheng, but Huo Zichen liked Hua Yueyi, so naturally he didn't want Hua Yueyi to get in touch with Ye Yuncheng like Fu Jianren did.
So Huo Zichen heroically rescued Qi Mu's sister, making Qi Mu's sister fall in love with him, and then used Qi Mu.
Although Hua Lingyao made a lot of money by using the poisonous insects, the people she targeted were nothing compared to the wealth owned by the Ye family. So she used the mind-controlling insect to let Qi Mu do PUA to Ye Yuncheng, turning Ye Yuncheng into a bootlicker.
The biggest setback that thirteen-year-old Ye Yuncheng encountered was Ye Yongtao. With a weak will, he was easily affected by the mind-controlling Gu.
These are the results that Ye Yishen had people find.
As for Hua Lingyao, Ye Yisheng would naturally not let her go.
Unfortunately, Hua Lingyao is not in Guyuan County now.
The reason why Ye Yishen agreed to Nangong Chenyu's proposal to go to the Hua family to propose marriage was, on the one hand, he wanted to bring disgrace to the Hua family, and on the other hand, he wanted to force Hua Lingyao out.
It took more than half an hour for Butler Du to arrive outside the Hua Mansion with the guards and the matchmaker. Behind them followed a group of people who were watching the fun.
The doorman at the Hua Mansion had never seen such a scene before.
They subconsciously thought that Butler Du was here to cause trouble and wanted to close the door immediately.
Fortunately, Steward Du reacted quickly, took two steps forward, and said loudly: "Please let the two of you know that I am the steward of the Ye Mansion, Du Yuan, and I am here today to discuss the marriage of your Third Miss and our Second Young Master."
The two doormen looked at each other. The Third Miss did have many admirers, but no one had heard that the Third Miss admired the Second Young Master of the Ye Mansion?
"Butler Du, please wait a moment. We will go and inform the master right away."
After the two doormen finished speaking, they closed the door and ran into the mansion.
"Master, Master, something bad has happened."
Seeing the doorman running into the lobby without being informed, the butler standing next to Hua Deming shouted, "Why are you in such a hurry? You have no manners at all."
The doorman knelt down immediately and told the whole story.
After hearing this, Hua Deming slammed the table and said, "This is outrageous. The Ye family is really going too far. A poor merchant dares to covet my daughter."
"Master, there may be something fishy about this matter. Why don't we ask the third young lady to come and ask about it?" suggested the housekeeper.
Hua Deming randomly pointed at a servant and said, "Go and call the third young lady."
"Yes, Master."
Outside Hua Mansion.
While waiting, Butler Du did not forget to tell the people who came to watch the fun how many gifts Hua Yueyi had received from Ye Yuncheng in the past two months.
When many middle-aged women heard the prices of the gifts, their eyes turned red with jealousy, and they all wished that it was their daughters who were favored by the second young master of the Ye family.
"I remember that the Hua family only moved here half a year ago. They used to live in West City. Houses in East City are not cheap. Do you think the house the Hua family lives in now was bought by Second Young Master Ye?"
"Mr. Hua is just a poor scholar, and his family has no income at all. The only one who can afford such a big sum of money is the Ye family."
"No wonder the Hua family is living a better and better life. It turns out that they have climbed into the Ye family."
"The Hua family is really lucky."
Everyone attributed the changes in the Hua family to the Ye family.
Butler Du didn't expect that everyone's words would become more and more outrageous, but this was exactly what he wanted. With these rumors, if the Hua family wanted to distance themselves from the Ye family, they could only return all the things that the second young master had given away.
"The girl from the Hua family looks so weak and fragile. She doesn't look healthy. She must have trouble giving birth." An old lady pushed her daughter in front of housekeeper Du and said, "Housekeeper Du, take another look at my girl."
An auntie suddenly appeared in front of Butler Du who was watching the fun. Before he could react, the auntie turned into a sturdy-looking woman who was almost as tall as him.
"My girl has a fat waist, thick legs and a big butt. She looks good at bearing children." The aunt strongly recommended her daughter: "It's better to marry my daughter than to marry the girl from the Hua family."
Butler Du couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Seeing another person bringing a girl over, he quickly said, "My second young master likes the third young lady of the Hua family, and even the eldest young master can't persuade him."
After a pause, Butler Du smiled helplessly and said, "The Second Young Master is on a hunger strike at home, and the First Young Master has no choice but to order me to discuss the marriage."
Ye Yuncheng: ...Butler Du, you know how to spread rumors!
The aunties who wanted to introduce their own girls all felt very regretful.
The lobby of Huafu Mansion.
Hua Yueyi walked into the hall gracefully with two maids, bowing slightly to greet them.
"Dad, you're looking for me?"
Hua Deming asked with a cold face: "Yueyi, have you and Ye Yuncheng secretly decided to spend their lives together?"
Hua Yueyi looked confused: "Dad, what do you mean?"
Seeing that his daughter seemed to be unaware of the situation, Hua Deming frowned and said directly, "Butler Du suddenly came to the Hua Mansion to discuss your marriage with Mr. Ye."
Hua Yueyi said excitedly: "Dad, I won't marry Ye Yuncheng, I have someone I like."
"Who do you like?" Hua Deming asked.
"Yes, it's Brother Huo." Hua Yueyi lowered her head shyly.
Just then, another doorman came to report.
"It's not good, sir. It's not good."
Hua Deming asked solemnly, "What happened again?"
The doorman immediately repeated what had happened outside the Hua Mansion.
Hua Yueyi's face turned pale.
Her reputation was ruined.
At this moment, Hua Deming's face was so gloomy that water could drip out of it. As a scholar, what he values most is reputation.
The reputation of the Hua family was damaged. He looked at Hua Yueyi with no gentleness anymore. He asked fiercely, "Who is the big brother Huo you are talking about?"
"Brother Huo is the young master of Southern Xinjiang." Hua Yueyi was afraid that her father would agree to the marriage with the Ye family, so she quickly added: "He is also from the Imperial Master's Mansion."
The Ye family is just a wealthy merchant family and cannot be compared with the Imperial Master's Mansion at all. In an instant, Hua Deming made a decision.
"Go, invite Butler Du in."
Finally, he added: "Only let Butler Du in."
If the matchmaker and the people who carry the bride price are also invited in, the Hua family will not be able to explain themselves even if they have ten mouths.
An hour later.
The lobby of Ye Mansion.
Seeing Butler Du coming back, Ye Yuncheng was the first to lose his patience and asked, "How is Butler Du?"
“It’s all coming back.”
As he spoke, Butler Du took out a box.
Ye Yuncheng's eyes lit up, the box must contain silver bills. Just as he was about to reach out to take it, the box was taken away by another hand.
Nangong Chenyu raised the box towards Ye Yuncheng and said, "We agreed on this yesterday. I suggested that half of the silver that is returned should belong to me."
After saying that, Nangong Chenyu opened the box, and sure enough, there was a stack of silver bills inside. He counted them first and found a total of 120,000 taels. He took sixty thousand and put the rest back in the box.
Ye Yuncheng reached out to take the box again, but this time a hand got there first.
"Brother."
"Do you think you are qualified to get these 60,000 taels of silver?" Ye Yisheng asked.
Ye Yuncheng: "...But, the banknote is compensation to me."
"Do you think you can get these banknotes back if you go to the Hua Mansion?" Ye Yishen was determined to let his younger brothers and sisters live without money for a while, so naturally he would not give the banknotes to Ye Yuncheng.
Ye Yuncheng: “…” He had to accept the fact that he was useless.
"Brother, I don't want the banknotes anymore."
Ye Yishen patted his shoulder with relief.
At this time, the servant who had been taking care of Ye Xian came to report: "Master, son-in-law, second master, the master of the family has woken up."
"Father finally woke up." Ye Yuncheng was very happy.
"Don't spread the news that the patriarch has woken up." Ye Yisheng reminded everyone, and then ordered: "Xiao Shun, go inform Xiao Xin."
"It's the eldest master."
Ye Yisheng looked at Nangong Chenyu: "Second Young Master Nangong, are you coming with us, or going back to Yiranju?"
Nangong Chenyu said without thinking: "I'll go back to Yiranju."
His relationship with Ye Yishen is a bit awkward now, so it is not suitable for him to meet Ye Xian directly.
"Okay." Ye Yishen also wanted to explain his relationship with Nangong Chenyu to his father before taking Nangong Chenyu to see his father.
Nangong Chenyu immediately returned to Yiran Residence.
Soon, Ye Yishen and Ye Yuncheng came to the room where Ye Xian lived.
"Father."
Ye Xian leaned on the bed, looked at the two brothers, and then said: "Yisheng, Yuncheng, I'm glad you're all right. By the way, where's Xiaoxin?"
Ye Yisheng: "My little sister is fine, she's on her way here."
Ye Xian finally put his worries to rest.
"Sit down and tell me what happened in the past three months."
"Okay, father." Ye Yishen immediately recounted what happened after Ye Xian fell into a coma.
