【Chapter 012】One against three
Turning around, Ye Yongtao saw his loving grandmother. He complained with snot and tears: "Grandma, why did you come just now? My cousin had someone beat me with ten boards, and my buttocks hurts so much. Woo woo woo ~"
When she got closer, Old Lady Ye saw that Ye Yongtao's clothes were torn and bleeding. A murderous intent flashed in her eyes, so fast that no one noticed.
"Ye Yisheng!" Madam Ye looked at Ye Yisheng, not hiding the resentment in her eyes at all: "Tao'er is your brother, and he is beaten to the bone and tendons. No matter what he did, you shouldn't let anyone beat him."
"As the eldest brother, if your younger brother does something wrong, you should reflect on whether you are not qualified as an eldest brother, instead of taking your anger out on your younger brother."
Ye Yisheng sneered in his heart.
Madam Ye was still speaking crazily: "Tao'er is still so young, and you let him be beaten with ten boards. Aren't you trying to kill him?"
"Why are you so vicious?"
"How come our Ye family has produced someone as cold-blooded and ruthless as you?"
After Madam Ye finished scolding, Ye Yisheng slowly spoke: "Grandma, let me remind you. My brother is Ye Yuncheng, and Ye Yongtao is just my cousin."
"If my cousin did something wrong, shouldn't my uncle and aunt reflect on their incompetence as parents?"
"How can you make me, your cousin, reflect on this?"
"I know you've always been partial to my second uncle's family, and I don't blame you. Alas! It's because my father is too honest and doesn't know how to flatter or fawn on others, so it's reasonable that you don't like him."
"After all, everyone likes to hear nice words."
“Besides, I’m sixteen years old, and Ye Yongtao is also sixteen, so he’s only three days younger than me. If grandma thinks my cousin is still young, then I’m not some old monster.”
"And grandma, have you ever seen that cold-blooded person provide good food and drink to my second uncle's family, who have already separated from the family?"
Madam Ye was so angry that her face turned blue: "You are so sharp-tongued. Your second uncle is your father's biological brother. You disregarded family affection and let someone beat your cousin like this. If you are not cold-blooded, who would be?"
Just at this time, Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye also arrived.
After seeing Ye Yongtao's appearance, Madam Ye II cried, "My dear son, who was that evil-hearted person who beat you so badly? If anything happens to you, how can I live?"
"Second Aunt, if you want to call me a black-hearted person, just say it directly. We are all smart people, there is no need to beat around the bush." Ye Yisheng's voice was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.
Mrs. Ye Er didn't expect Ye Yishen to say it so directly. For a moment, she forgot to respond.
Fortunately, Master Ye responded in a very supportive manner: "Yisheng, you are not in good health, you should have a good rest. You and Tao'er are brothers connected by blood, you should support each other."
"If Tao'er has done anything wrong, you can tell your uncle and he will discipline you. You all have the surname Ye, so don't let irrelevant people instigate you and hurt the friendship between brothers."
When saying this, Mr. Ye also glanced at Butler Du on purpose. What he meant was that Butler Du was trying to sow discord.
Butler Du, who was innocently implicated, rolled his eyes at him.
Ye Yishen's gaze swept across the faces of Old Madam Ye, Second Madam Ye, and Second Master Ye.
"Grandmother, second uncle, second aunt, after you came here, you either accused me of beating my cousin or said in a roundabout way that I had no right to discipline my cousin. Why didn't any of you ask me why I let the servants beat my cousin?"
Without waiting for the three to answer, Ye Yishen answered on their behalf.
"You didn't ask because you know what kind of person my cousin is. You also guessed that my cousin must have done something to make me angry, so I asked the servants to beat him."
"Look at this yard, doesn't it look familiar to you?"
The three of them subconsciously followed Ye Yisheng's words and looked towards the yard.
Ye Yisheng continued, "Tell me, why did my cousin come to this courtyard for no reason?"
The three of them immediately thought of the fool living here, so Ye Yongtao's purpose of coming here was most likely to bully the fool. As soon as this thought appeared in the minds of the three people, Ye Yisheng’s words dealt a heavy blow to them.
"Although the Second Young Master Nangong is stupid, his appearance is really amazing."
Ye Yisheng's ambiguous words made Old Lady Ye and the other two successfully guess what Ye Yongtao wanted to do here.
The three of them looked very unhappy.
You know, all three of them contributed to Nangong Chenyu marrying into the Ye family. Their purpose was to disgust Ye Yisheng and plot against him at the same time.
But now, the grandson they had their eyes on actually fell in love with Nangong Chenyu! This made them feel as disgusted as if they had eaten a fly.
"By the way, Uncle, I heard that the betrothal gift for Young Master Nangong is in your hands?"
Mr. Ye didn't expect Ye Yishen to suddenly bring up the issue of the bride price, so he naturally looked at Old Madam Ye for help.
"The betrothal gift was used by me."
Old Madam Ye spoke with confidence.
"What can be worth a hundred thousand taels of silver?" Ye Yisheng was surprised: "Grandma, you were not cheated by someone, were you?"
Liar Ye Erye: "..."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Madam Ye Er suddenly howled: "Mother, Mingrui, Tao'er has fainted."
The people from the second house hurriedly carried Ye Yongtao away.
Ye Yishen fought one against three and won!
Before leaving, Old Madam Ye said something cruel: "Ye Yisheng, if anything happens to Tao'er, I will not let you go even if I risk my life."
Ye Yishen narrowed his eyes and watched Madam Ye's back as she left. He had no doubt about the truthfulness of Madam Ye's words.
I still remember that three years ago, he asked his servants to throw Ye Yongtao into the lotus pond. Old Madam Ye, who knew the situation, rushed over and was so angry that she slapped him on the top of his head on the spot.
At the critical moment, a white light shield appeared on his body and protected him. Not only did Old Madam Ye fail to hurt him, she was also knocked back and spit out blood.
Later, he asked his father and found out that the protective light shield was left by his mother and that everyone in their family had one.
If they are attacked by external objects, the protective shield will automatically open to protect them.
Sometimes he even suspected that if their family did not have the protective shield left by their mother, his good grandmother would have killed her children and grandchildren.
Because several times he felt a flash of murderous intent in Madam Ye's eyes when she looked at them.
After Old Madam Ye returned, she asked Madam Ye Er to take good care of Ye Yongtao, and asked Master Ye Er to call a doctor, and then she returned to her own courtyard.
"They are all waiting outside."
After saying this, Old Madam Ye went into the room alone.
The maids and old women who served her all lowered their heads and stayed obediently in the yard.
The furnishings in Old Madam Ye's room are simple and elegant. The rosewood furniture is engraved with exquisite patterns, the patterns on the screens are also unique, and a landscape painting with clouds and mist hangs on the wall.
In the corner, there is a pot of green asparagus fern and a pot of blooming orchid.
The whole room was filled with a faint scent of sandalwood.
Old Madam Ye walked straight to the landscape painting.
She first took down the landscape painting, and then cast a spell towards the wall. A ray of white light flew out from her fingertips and landed on the wall. A square dark grid suddenly appeared on the originally smooth wall.
Opening the secret compartment, Old Madam Ye took out the Qiankun bag inside.
As soon as she thought about it, a porcelain bottle appeared in her hand. When she opened the porcelain bottle and saw that there were only two pills in it, she hesitated for a moment before pouring out one.
Half an hour later, Old Madam Ye returned to the courtyard where Ye Yongtao lived with her maids and servants.
Mr. Ye has already invited a doctor.
Seeing that the doctor was examining Ye Yongtao, Old Lady Ye sat down in the main seat in the outer room.
When the doctor came out from the inner room, Old Madam Ye quickly stood up and asked, "How is my grandson's injury?"
"Don't worry, old lady. Although your grandson's injuries are somewhat serious, with me here, his life will definitely not be in danger." The doctor with a goatee patted his chest and assured.
Without waiting for Old Madam Ye to speak, Second Madam Ye, who heard the doctor's words, stepped forward and said, "Doctor, you must save my son. As long as you save my son, we will definitely give you a generous reward."
"Okay, okay. I have a miraculous medicine for treating external injuries. Just apply it to the wound, and it will be completely healed within three days."
The doctor stroked his goatee and made an OK gesture. The look he gave Mrs. Ye Er was as if he was looking at the God of Wealth.
Old Madam Ye returned to her seat and sat down, looking at the doctor calmly.
Madam Ye Er, who was eager to save her son, did not notice anything wrong. She immediately ordered her maid, "Chunxiang, go and get ten taels of silver for this miracle doctor."
The doctor's face immediately darkened.
"Madam, are you trying to insult me?" he said angrily.
Madam Ye Er was bewildered.
The doctor continued, "Do you know how many precious and rare medicinal materials I used to make this miraculous medicine? And how much time it took me to research it?"
Now Mrs. Ye understood that she had given too little silver. She asked tentatively: "How much silver do you think is appropriate?"
The doctor held up a finger.
Madam Ye Er guessed, "You want one hundred taels of silver?"
The doctor shook his head.
Madam Ye Er exclaimed: "You actually want one thousand taels of silver!"
The doctor shook his index finger and said, "It's not one thousand taels, it's ten thousand taels."
Madam Ye Er swallowed her saliva and said, "You, are you saying that it will cost 10,000 taels of silver to save my son?"
The doctor nodded affirmatively.
Mrs. Ye Er was secretly resentful in her heart. She knew that Ye Yishen, that little beast, was vicious and wanted to take the opportunity to kill her son.
Mr. Ye Er pulled Mrs. Ye Er and signaled her not to speak. Then Mr. Ye said to the doctor, "Leave the miraculous medicine here. I'll have someone take you to the Ye Mansion's account office to withdraw 10,000 taels of silver."
His son was beaten by Ye Yishen's servants, and the money for his treatment should be paid by the eldest wife.
"One hand gives me the silver, the other hand gives me the miraculous medicine."
From the conversation the doctor had just had with Mrs. Ye Er, he could tell that this family was very stingy. He was worried that he would give the medicine but not get the money.
Just when Mr. Ye was about to take the doctor to the account office to ask for money, Old Madam Ye spoke up: "If the miraculous medicine in your hand is really as effective as you said, let alone ten thousand taels of silver, I will give it to you even if it is one hundred thousand taels of silver."
