Ye Shu asked someone to bring him and Lan Lan into the city and directly brought them back to the Ye Mansion. She also arranged a small courtyard for Lan Lan, invited a doctor to treat him, and asked someone to make a lot of delicious food for him.
Xiao Hechuan was just an eighteen-year-old young man at that time. Unlike now, he has lived a new life and experienced many ups and downs. He has already developed the ability to remain calm even when facing a disaster.
I had just experienced a disaster, lost my family, and went through many hardships to get to Jeju.
What Ye Shu did was a great kindness to him.
But he was still nervous, facing a table full of delicious food and wine. Ye Shu was sitting opposite him, picking up food for him carefully and gently, and also counseling him with words.
She said that she and Lanlan shared the same pain and she understood her pain very well because she couldn't walk and would have to spend her whole life in a wheelchair, so she would definitely not sit idly by.
At that time, he thought she was a good person.
But Xiao Hechuan didn't want to eat and drink for free. He always wanted to do something to repay his debt, so he told Ye Shu that he was willing to stay and work as a servant in the Ye Mansion to repay his debt.
Ye Shu said it was not necessary and told him to live there peacefully.
Lanlan received treatment and her condition stabilized. Ye Shu even arranged for a maid to serve her. After a few days of getting along, Ye Shu learned that she was a scholar. He also found out that she was the only daughter of Ye Congwen, the president of Baiyun Academy.
Ye Shu took the initiative to suggest to Ye Congwen that he go to Baiyun Academy to study.
However, the threshold for admission to Baiyun Academy is extremely high, and Ye Congwen would not accept someone with unknown strength and background into the academy for no reason. This is related to the reputation and fame of his academy.
At Ye Shu's repeated request, Ye Congwen agreed to test him personally. If he could barely meet his expectations, he would consider letting him study at Baiyun Academy.
Ye Congwen gave him the opportunity out of love for his daughter, but he didn't expect that he would pick up a treasure.
Although Xiao Hechuan at that time was not as eye-catching as Xiao Hechuan today, his talent represented everything.
Ye Congwen was very satisfied and decided to teach and train him personally.
Xiao Hechuan was like a pie in the sky, he actually got the qualification to study at Baiyun Academy, the first university in Jeju.
At that time, he was full of gratitude to the Ye family.
He promised that if he could achieve something in the future, he would definitely repay the Ye family's kindness.
At that time, Ye Shu had not yet fully revealed her true self. She was still playing the role of a gentle and caring white lotus, but people with dark hearts will always be dark.
Lanlan has been recuperating in the Ye family, and all her food and drink are provided by the Ye family. Xiao Hechuan thinks that he should take her out as soon as possible and arrange a small courtyard for her to live in. Living under someone else's roof always makes one feel uneasy.
So after he entered Baiyun Academy, he worked even harder, studied late into the night, slept only three hours a day, and spent the rest of the time reading, hoping to make a name for himself one day.
Many students at Baiyun Academy were dissatisfied with this sudden appearance of a student, thinking that he was a relative who could enter Baiyun Academy and be trained by the dean because of the protection of the dean's daughter.
Everyone was laughing at him, isolating him, mocking him, and saying that he was a gigolo.
As arrogant as Xiao Hechuan was, he began to work hard to prove himself. He participated in various poetry competitions, won the first prize, and used his strength to shut up their mouths and mocking looks. It was also because of this that Mr. Zhong Yun at that time noticed him and thought he was a rare talent. So he proposed to the dean to accept him as his student and teach him personally.
However, Ye Congwen refused. Although he was the dean of Baiyun Academy, he was always inferior to Zhong Yun in all aspects. He had been secretly competing with him and vowed to bring out a top three student to prove it to him.
Xiao Hechuan has the best chance of passing the exam, how could he let him go?
Such honor can only belong to me from now on.
Therefore, after Mr. Zhong Yun failed to get the person he wanted several times, he had to teach Xiao Hechuan secretly and give him private lessons. He valued talent, so it didn't matter even if Xiao Hechuan became successful in the future but couldn't use his name to teach him.
It was also thanks to Mr. Zhong Yun's teachings that Xiao Hechuan realized how big the gap was between Ye Congwen and Mr. Zhong Yun, and he benefited a lot.
After attending several poetry gatherings, Xiao Hechuan saved up a considerable fortune, more than one hundred taels of silver. He felt that he could afford to take Lanlan away, rent a small courtyard, and find someone to take care of her.
So he asked Ye Shu to move out.
It was also from then on that Ye Shu revealed her illness for the first time.
When she heard that he was moving away, Ye Shu's face changed and she got angry, saying that he was ungrateful. She had promoted him so much and valued him so much, so it was impossible for him to fly away once he had grown wings.
He also didn't expect that she would say that. Her usual gentleness and consideration were gone from her face, leaving only selfishness and morbidity.
Xiao Hechuan said that he would never forget their kindness, and when he became successful in the future, he would try his best to repay her kindness and would not forget his roots.
Ye Shu still refused to let Lan Lan go and detained her in Ye's house, not allowing him to see her.
Ye Shu said that she would have to repay him sooner or later anyway, so she asked him to marry her and become the son-in-law of the Ye family. She would help him take good care of Lanlan and make sure she would have enough food and drink. Living a life of wealth and glory was always better than living a poor life with him.
Xiao Hechuan thought of many ways to repay her, but never by marrying her. At that time, he still had some expectations in his heart that he would find a woman he liked in the future and live a life of respect with her.
But this person is definitely not Ye Shu.
Xiao Hechuan rejected her and angered her.
In order to force him to agree to marry her, Ye Shu gave Lan Lan something to eat, and Lan Lan fell ill again and her life was in danger.
Xiao Hechuan only has Lanlan as his only relative. She is his concern and his spiritual support.
Xiao Hechuan was forced into a desperate situation. He couldn't understand why Ye Shu acted so viciously and extremely. She must be the one who said she was a snake in disguise.
Finally, Xiao Hechuan went to find Ye Congwen, hoping that he could help persuade Ye Shu.
But Ye Congwen somehow knew that Mr. Zhong Yun was giving him lessons in private. He didn't point it out, but in order to bind him forever, he acquiesced to Ye Shu's behavior.
Xiao Hechuan was isolated and helpless, with nowhere to go.
He was powerless and dependent on others, and could only become a fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of others.
On one side is family affection, and on the other side is his own dignity and face. He made a difficult decision and chose to give up his dignity for his sister.
One day, the Ye Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and a banquet was held for guests from all over the world. Xiao Hechuan became the son-in-law of the Ye Mansion, and he could no longer hold his head up in the academy.
Since that day, the boy lost his spirit and vigor, and there was no more genuine smile on his face. He was like a puppet... suffering day after day...
