With the man thrown out of the Li family home, the Li family finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Old Master Li Zhen stood up and said with utmost respect, "Young Master Ye, thank you for helping our Li family resolve this matter. Otherwise, no one could have predicted what terrible things might have happened."
"You're too kind, sir," Ye Qiu said. "This matter actually started because of me; they were just using you to threaten me."
As he spoke, Ye Qiu's gaze fell on Li Yuechan's neck, where blood was still seeping out.
"come over."
Ye Qiu said softly.
Li Yuechan walked up to Ye Qiu, feeling somewhat nervous and apprehensive.
"Tilt your head back." Ye Qiu looked at Li Yuechan.
"Um."
Li Yuechan obediently looked up, which aggravated her neck injury, causing her to wince slightly in pain.
Ye Qiu took out a silver needle from somewhere and began to treat Li Yuechan.
Moments later, the wound on Li Yuechan's neck scabbed over at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This scene greatly surprised Li Zhen and the others.
"Young Master Ye's medical skills are truly superb, almost like divine magic."
Li Jun said sincerely.
“Indeed impressive. I could tell when Young Master Ye treated the old man last time. It’s sad that I mistakenly thought Young Master Ye was incompetent. I’m truly ashamed,” Li Xian said.
"Let's not dwell on the past. If Young Master Ye wanted to hold a grudge against you, he wouldn't have come to our house in the first place," Li Zhen said with a smile.
"I must say, Ye Qiu and Yue Chan actually look quite well-matched standing together. No wonder Yue Chan insisted on being with Ye Qiu five years ago," Han Ju said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuechan blushed slightly: "Mom, you...you shouldn't talk nonsense. That was five years ago. So many years have passed, Ye Qiu doesn't like me anymore."
When did I ever say I didn't like you?
Ye Qiu glanced at Li Yuechan.
With just one simple sentence, Li Yuechan was stunned on the spot.
Then, with tears welling up in her eyes, Li Yuechan asked excitedly, "Then...so you mean, you still like me now?"
"you..."
"Ye Qiu, as long as you still love me, I would have no regrets even if it meant my immediate death, really."
Li Yuechan grabbed Ye Qiu's arm.
Seeing Li Yuechan's agitation, Ye Qiu said, "These are turbulent times. From now on, your family should keep our distance from me to avoid suffering any undeserved misfortune. We'll talk again once everything is resolved."
“Young Master Ye, what you said is incorrect,” Li Zhen hurriedly said. “The fact that the enemy can use our family to threaten you shows that in their hearts, we are very close to you.”
In fact, our Li family is willing to be close to you. No matter how terrible the enemy, we are not afraid. We will help you at all costs if you need us.
"Grandpa, you're betting the entire Li family's fortune on me. Aren't you afraid something might happen?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
“I’m not afraid.” Li Zhen said seriously, “Even if the entire clan is wiped out, I’m not afraid. This is not only because Yuechan likes you, but also because I have great faith in Young Master Ye’s abilities and character.”
"Ye Qiu, the old man represents our Li family. His will is our will. We stand firmly with you. If there is anything we can do to help you, just ask and we will do our best."
Li Jun said in a deep voice.
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiu was filled with mixed emotions.
Five years ago, the Li family did not treat him this way; they had repeatedly sent people to warn him to stay away from Li Yuechan.
In fact, Ye Qiu had always had a question in his heart.
Many years ago, the Ye clan was considered a powerful clan in Qianzhou, but the Li family always disapproved of his relationship with Li Yuechan.
If the Li family valued matching social status in marriage, the Ye family at that time was definitely no weaker than the Li family.
Could it be that she simply looks down on herself? (www.bǐqυgétν.net)
This has always been a thorn in Ye Qiu's side!
Seeing that the Li family was all there, Ye Qiu hesitated slightly before asking, "Why did you stop me from dating Yuechan so many years ago?"
"this..."
Li Jun hesitated, then looked at the old man.
Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "Young Master Ye, this matter has nothing to do with them. They all agreed at the time, but I stopped them. I was the one who disagreed."
At that time, there was a powerful clan in Zhongbei who wanted to form a marriage alliance with our family. I really wanted to get closer to that powerful clan, so I wanted Yuechan to marry the young master of that powerful clan.
Unexpectedly, just as the wedding day was approaching, Yuechan ran away and hid in Qianzhou, disappearing without a trace. Our Li family, because of our broken promise, was also ostracized by that powerful clan, and we had no choice but to move the entire clan from Zhongbei to Qianzhou. It was only after we moved here that Yuechan reappeared.
"So that's the reason. I understand now. You're from Zhongbei, so you must be familiar with the King of Zhongbei, right?" Ye Qiu changed the subject and asked about the King of Zhongbei.
“The Zhongbei Prince’s Mansion is indeed powerful, with an army of 500,000. I heard that there are also many martial arts masters under the Zhongbei Prince’s command. Even the Governor of Qianzhou once followed the Zhongbei Prince. And the powerful clan I just mentioned also has a close relationship with the Zhongbei Prince. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have forced our Li family to migrate from Zhongbei.”
Li Zhen said solemnly.
“Alas, Father, I heard that the Governor’s confidant took office as the Prefect of Qianzhou today. This new Prefect is suspected to have been transferred from Zhongbei. I’m afraid our Li family will find it difficult to move an inch in Qianzhou from now on.” Li Xian said with a bitter smile.
His words immediately silenced the room, creating a very oppressive atmosphere.
