【Chapter 74】Return to Ye Mansion
【Chapter 74】Return to Ye Mansion
The middle-aged man thought Ye Xian didn't want to admit it, so he deliberately said that the name on the engagement letter was not Young Master Ye.
"It's clearly written in black and white on red paper." He shook the engagement letter in his hand towards Ye Xian and said angrily, "I didn't expect that with the evidence right in front of you, Master Ye, you still want to cheat! If you have any shame, you should take the initiative to come and apologize."
"The Ye family is really going too far! Is our daughter of the Marquis family worse than a fool?"
Seeing that he was so furious, Ye Xian rolled his eyes at him without caring about his image. Then he pointed to the Geng Tie in his hand and said, "My dear brother, if you can't read, you can ask the people around you for help."
As soon as these words came out, two scholars actually came up to the middle-aged man and looked at the name on the Geng Tie he was holding in his hand.
After seeing the name on the engagement letter clearly, the two scholars looked at the middle-aged man as if he was a fool. Then the two of them retreated to the crowd and whispered to everyone.
Because Ye Yishen seldom goes out, most people in Guyuan County don't know what he looks like, but everyone knows his name.
The middle-aged man noticed that the two scholars were looking at him strangely, and he glanced at the name on the engagement letter suspiciously. Ye Yongtao and Ye Xian both have the surname Ye, so he didn't think there was anything wrong.
"The name on the engagement letter is Ye Yongtao from the second branch of the Ye family. It is not Ye Yisheng from the first branch of the Ye family at all."
"Bah, there is no second house in the Ye Mansion, and Madam Ye is not the biological mother of the Ye family master."
"The head of the Ye family is really unlucky. He was taken away by the beggar Madam Ye when he was young. He doesn't know who his biological parents are, and he has to serve his enemy as his biological mother. If it were me, I would be sick to death."
"So Madam Ye deserved to be burned to death. She is the kind of person her son is. It really fits the old saying, like dragons, like phoenixes, like phoenixes, and like mice, their sons will dig holes."
"It seems that this Marquis Mansion is also stupid. They came to the Ye Mansion to seek justice without finding out anything clearly."
"Tsk, what do you mean by seeking justice? I think the Marquis's Mansion is trying to blackmail the Ye Mansion."
"I agree with that. I also think that the Weiyuan Marquisate is not a good place. If they really care about this marriage, how could they not know the situation of the Ye Mansion?"
"Bah, you didn't even know that Ye Yongtao is Ye Mingrui's biological son, and you still come to ask for an explanation."
"Based on my many years of experience, this Marquis' Mansion is after the Ye Mansion's money."
"Unfortunately, their plan will fail. Ye Mingrui's family stole 100 taels of silver from the head of the Ye family before running away."
The discussions of the people around him kept coming into the middle-aged man's ears, and the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong. Things seemed to be heading in a direction he didn't want.
"Ye, Master Ye, Ye Yongtao is not your son?"
Ye Xian raised his chin and said, "I have two sons. The eldest son is named Ye Yisheng, which means shining and radiant; the second son is named Ye Yuncheng, which means the beginning of the journey."
His own name was not nice, so he spent a lot of time thinking about naming his two sons.
The middle-aged man looked at the Geng Tie in his hand and felt it was extremely hot.
He is the younger brother of the stepmother of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion and also the steward of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. His purpose of coming to Ye Mansion is to defraud money. Now that they had not gotten any money, the Marquis Weiyuan's Mansion had become a laughing stock.
How is he going to report back now?
If he had known earlier, he should have found out the name of Ye Xian’s son so that he could have someone forge a birth certificate and come back to visit.
Since he couldn't use the breaking of the engagement to cheat Ye Xian out of money right now, he had to think of other ways to cheat Ye Xian out of money.
The middle-aged man's face was like a color palette, blue, white, and red, and his eyes kept flickering, obviously he was up to something evil.
Ye Xian was just thinking about what to do when he saw the crowd on the right suddenly make way.
A few familiar people walked up from behind the crowd.
It was Nangong Chenyu and his companions who were almost enjoying the show.
Nangong Chenyu knew how to give a helpless man a beating. He walked up to the middle-aged man and without saying a word, he grabbed him and started beating him up.
The middle-aged man originally had some skills in leg and footwork, but he had no power to fight back in front of Nangong Chenyu and could only passively take the beating.
"What are you all standing there for? Come over and help." He yelled at the dozen or so guards who came with him.
The dozen or so guards were about to step forward to help, but Jun Han waved his hand and cast a spell to immobilize them. In the eyes of others, the dozen or so guards stood still, as if they did not hear the middle-aged man's cry for help.
“Ahhh~” The middle-aged man kept wailing and begging for mercy: “Stop hitting me, stop hitting me.”
Nangong Chenyu controlled his strength and didn't hurt the man, but only hit the man where it hurt. When he had beaten her enough, he stopped and said, "Let me ask you, am I a fool?"
The middle-aged man was puzzled by the question, but he didn't want to be beaten, so he could only cooperate and answer: "No, you are not a fool!"
But my heart was roaring: You are not a fool, but you are a madman! I really didn't provoke you, and you just hit me without saying a word.
"You're smart." Nangong Chenyu felt refreshed. He is not the kind of person who will tolerate being bullied. If someone scolds him, he will naturally fight back.
The middle-aged man was beaten black and blue. There were people all around watching the fun, and no one stood up to help him. He suppressed the anger in his heart and slowly got up despite the pain.
He knew that he was no match for Nangong Chenyu, so he could only endure today's humiliation temporarily and return it tenfold or a hundredfold in the future.
After straightening his wrinkled clothes, Nangong Chenyu walked in front of Ye Xian as if nothing had happened and respectfully called him, "Father-in-law."
"I'm glad you're back safely!" Ye Xian patted Nangong Chenyu's shoulder and said.
Nangong Suhao saw Ye Yisheng walking towards the middle-aged man with murderous intent. He stood in front of Ye Yisheng and said, "Leave this man to me."
Ye Yisheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
Nangong Suhao walked up to the middle-aged man and smiled kindly: "Uncle, I'm sorry, my second brother is just a fool. You should be a big man and don't bear grudges. Don't bother with a fool like him."
The middle-aged man was stunned and couldn't think straight.
Nangong Suhao kindly explained the confusion to the middle-aged man. He pointed at Nangong Chenyu's back and introduced him to the middle-aged man: "I am Nangong Suhao, that's my second brother. He is also the Ye family's idiot son-in-law you mentioned."
Seeing the resentment in the middle-aged man's eyes, Nangong Suhao immediately put away the kind smile on his face: "Why, uncle, you want to argue with a fool?"
Unable to fight, the middle-aged man could only temporarily avoid it. He tried to force a smile: "How could it be possible? How could I bother with a fool?"
"That's good. I knew you were a generous person." Nangong Suhao smiled kindly again and patted the middle-aged man's shoulder happily.
The slight sound of bones breaking rang in the middle-aged man's heart, and his face twisted in pain.
Nangong Suhao, however, acted as if he had done nothing, and said to the middle-aged man considerately: "Since today's matter was a mistake, uncle should go back early!"
Although it seemed like a normal sentence, the middle-aged man heard a threat in it.
Jun Han lifted the guards' immobilization spell, and two guards stepped forward to carry the middle-aged man, and the group quickly walked out of Guyuan County.
Seeing that there was nothing exciting to watch, the crowd left in twos and threes.
Nangong Suhao brought Jun Han to Ye Xian and called him, "Uncle Ye." He then introduced the person next to him, "This is my Taoist partner Jun Han."
Then he introduced to Jun Han: "Uncle Ye is Yisheng's father."
Jun Han called out, "Uncle Ye."
Ye Xian smiled and nodded: "Okay, I heard from Yisheng that you haven't had lunch yet, let's go into the mansion first."
After entering the Ye Mansion, the group went directly to the dining hall. After everyone took their seats, servants immediately brought plates of delicious dishes to the table.
The aroma of food wafted into his nose. Not to mention Nangong Chenyu, who loved eating delicious food, even Jun Han, who had been taking fasting pills, couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"We are all family, so be casual. If there is a dish you like, you can ask the chef to make another one." Ye Xian called to a few people.
"Uncle Ye, ever since I had the food at your house, I have been thinking about it all the time." Nangong Suhao really had been thinking about it all the time, but unfortunately he had no reason to live in the Ye Mansion.
"If you like it, come often." Ye Xian said with a smile.
"OK!"
Nangong Suhao agreed casually without mentioning that they would be going to Lingyuan Continent in three days. He thought it would be better to let his second brother tell the news.
It took a quarter of an hour to finish the meal.
"What do you want for dinner? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it." Ye Xian asked everyone.
"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Ye. Jun Han and I plan to go for a walk, so you don't need to prepare our dinner." Nangong Suhao stood up and looked at Nangong Chenyu: "Xiaoyu, please see us off."
Nangong Chenyu saw that his elder brother had something to say to him, so he stood up.
After saying hello to Ye Xian and Ye Yishen, the three of them left the dining hall.
While walking out of the Ye Mansion, Nangong Chenyu asked Nangong Suhao: "Brother, what do you want to tell me?"
Nangong Suhao: "Next, Jun Han and I plan to go to the Imperial City. We will solve the matter of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. You tell Uncle Ye and tell him not to do anything."
“Okay.” Nangong Chenyu nodded. It felt good to be protected by his elder brother.
Jun Han then said, "Xiao Yu, ask Ye Yisheng if he wants to bring his family to Lingyuan Continent. My spaceship can carry nine people, and we can arrange for them to stay in the market of Yunjue Palace."
"The market is guarded by the elders, no one dares to take action in the market."
Jun Han had no intention of interfering in other people’s business before. After some careful consideration, he changed his mind.
In the future, he will go hand in hand with Nangong Suhao. Nangong Chenyu is Nangong Suhao's younger brother, and Ye Yishen is Nangong Chenyu's Taoist partner. Because of this relationship, he couldn't just stand idly by and watch Ye Yisheng's family.
Of course, the most important thing is that Ye Yisheng’s family members have good character and a clean aura, and Ye Xian also has merits.
"Thank you, Brother Jun." Nangong Chenyu thanked him sincerely.
Having said what needed to be said, Nangong Suhao waved to Nangong Chenyu: "No need to see me off, go back now!"
Just as he was about to turn around, Nangong Chenyu suddenly thought of something: "I found a few space rings in the secret realm. Do you want one?"
Jun Han couldn't help but look at Nangong Chenyu again. His brother-in-law's luck was extraordinarily good, even the son of luck might not be able to compare to him.
Even though he was the direct disciple of the Supreme Elder, he did not have a space ring. Generally, only elders who have made contributions to the sect can have one, which shows how precious the space ring is.
"How big is the space?" Nangong Suhao asked.
"About 50,000 cubic meters." Nangong Chenyu took out two space rings and handed them to the two of them.
The space is so big that it is impossible to refuse. Nangong Suhao took the space ring and handed one to Jun Han.
After leaving Guyuan County, Nangong Suhao and Jun Han caught up with the steward of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, the middle-aged man, not long after they left. Since he didn't get the money, the middle-aged man had no intention of leaving Guyuan County.
But he didn't want to leave, but Nangong Suhao and the others insisted on taking him away and let him experience being a flying acrobat.
Imperial city, Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.
Jun Han and Nangong Suhao flew on swords to the sky above the main courtyard of Weiyuan Marquis Mansion. When they were about six or seven meters above the ground, Nangong Suhao loosened the rope in his hand, to the other end of which was tied a middle-aged man.
