Ye Feng was so frightened that his legs went weak and he immediately knelt on the ground.
He even had time to glare at Liu Erzhuang: Are we still brothers? Why didn't you give us a heads-up beforehand?
Liu Erzhuang touched his nose.
There was no other way; the Lady Hou had given them far too much.
Liu Erzhuang then relayed Lin Jinyue's message: "Erya said that we've already put on a show for you, and the person has arrived. If you want us to help you keep the person here, you'll have to pay extra."
Lady Hou was well aware of what had happened.
So it turns out that from beginning to end, it was her unlucky son who conspired with others to frame his own mother?!
Before his mother could go find the feather duster, Ye Feng quickly knelt down and explained, "Mother, Mother, please listen to me, I had no other choice."
Lady Hou held up a bamboo stick. "Come here, explain."
Ye Feng cried and said, "These past two days, I've been acting, and it's been really agonizing for me. I also feel sorry for Father and Mother. We should be living happily together in the mansion, but I just can't bear to leave you and Father."
When Lady Hou heard her son say this, half of her anger subsided.
However, he still kept a cold expression on his face.
Seeing that there was a chance, Ye Feng smiled and stepped forward, hugging his mother's leg and saying, "Mom, you don't know, I've been so worried these past few days that I haven't been able to eat."
Madam Ye was indeed soft-hearted and said directly, "Get up and talk. What kind of behavior is it to kneel here?"
Ye Feng immediately seized the opportunity, dragging his mother to Yunhe Restaurant and ordering a table full of delicious dishes: "Mother, you've come all this way, and you must have been worried sick along the way. Have something to eat first, and I'll tell you everything in detail."
Madam Ye was already soft-hearted towards her son, and when she heard how much he cared about her, she was even more touched.
The anger I felt earlier vanished instantly.
Ye Feng knew that Elder Tan and General Gu should both be at Yunhe Restaurant at this time. He took his mother over and greeted them one by one: "Elder Tan, General Gu, General Gu, what's good to eat today?"
Old Tan was in a good mood and said to Ye Feng, "Hey, your mother's here too? Why don't we share a table and make it more lively?"
Ye Feng shook his head: "Next time, next time I'll treat you all. I still have something to say to my mother."
Elder Tan and General Gu had long been on the same side as Lin Jinyue and the others. Previously, Ye Feng had promised that Lin Jinyue would receive 30% of the 100,000 taels of gold.
That is, 300,000 taels of silver.
Lin Jinyue must have used this money for the construction of Yunhe Village.
Moreover, Ye Feng had also privately sounded out Old Master Tan's opinion, and there was a hint of encouragement in his mind, since he was going to marry Tan Xue in the future.
After Elder Tan expressed his meaning, Ye Feng said that he would take him along in the future, as he could go to the battlefield and provide some financial support.
Sure enough, Elder Tan and General Gu looked at Ye Feng with exceptionally kind and benevolent expressions.
Just kidding, this guy in front of me is the God of Wealth!
Lady Hou was somewhat surprised. When did her family become so close to Prime Minister Tan and General Gu?
Wait, why are these two families in Yunhe Village now?
Having achieved his goal, Ye Feng brought Madam Hou to the private room. After a while, he said, "Mother, the world outside is in chaos. Yunhe Village is a perfect place for our family to retire."
Lady Hou frowned: "But your father's fief is in Nanyang."
Ye Feng shook his head: "None of those things count. Who can guarantee that our family will always be peaceful and stable? Besides, you know my dad. He's brainless and gets fooled by a few words."
Lady Hou nodded in agreement, "You're right."
Ye Feng: "Right? I told you that Prince Jing is no good. I told my father to stay away from him, but he wouldn't listen to me. He thought that it was good that Prince Jing sent gold and silver treasures, and that following Prince Jing would bring him wealth. In the end, he was sold out and had to pay the money to the prince."
Ye Feng, fearing his mother wouldn't believe him, asked, "Mother, was there anything unusual about your trip to Nanyang this time?"
Lady Hou's face was not good: "Prince Jing has detained eight thousand soldiers. He originally said that one thousand soldiers would be enough to suppress the bandits, but I was not at ease, so I brought two thousand men with me."
Ye Feng then said, "Look, our family's every move is being monitored. If I hadn't put on this show, with my father's brains, our family would definitely have been ruined."
Ye Feng chatted incessantly with his mother while eating.
Suddenly, Ye Feng was slapped on the back of the head, and his head almost buried in the bowl.
The Lady of the Marquis's face immediately turned cold as she saw the Marquis standing behind them, looking furious.
The Marquis casually grabbed a feather duster and prepared to whip Ye Feng.
Even Lady Hou couldn't stop her.
"I've been treated like dirt in Yunhe Village, and you, on top of that, put on a show with someone else to fool me and your mother, and then you call me brainless?!"
"Today I'm going to beat you to death, you unfilial son!"
"Why don't you stop running if you dare?"
The Marquis, sporting his beer belly, chased after him, panting heavily.
Ye Feng has been hanging out with Lin Xueqing lately, and his physical fitness is exceptionally good. He needs his father to rest after running for a while.
Otherwise, he was afraid his father wouldn't be able to calm down.
The Marquis pointed at his nose and cursed, "You little brat, don't run away if you dare!"
Ye Feng shouted at his father from a distance, "If you're so capable, then don't chase after me!"
In the end, it was the Marquis's wife who grabbed his ear and said, "You've really gone too far, daring to hit your son! You've spoiled him rotten! Tell me, wasn't it you who almost caused our family of three to be tricked by Prince Jing?"
The Marquis admitted defeat.
Lady Hou also asked, "Tell me, did our son put on this show to save us? Otherwise, why would Prince Jing let us leave Nanyang? We only have two thousand elite soldiers left."
Marquis Yong'an was stunned: "What? Only two thousand left? What about my eight thousand elite troops and the granary?"
Lady Hou glared at him: "He was conscripted by Prince Jing."
Marquis Yong'an was furious.
Ye Feng sneaked over like a dog, "Dad, so you can understand your son's good intentions now, right?"
Marquis Yong'an snorted coldly and didn't respond.
Ye Feng explained, "Father, look, both Prime Minister Tan and General Gu are staying here, preparing to settle down in Yunhe Village, which is why I carefully selected such a good place."
Marquis Yong'an was somewhat surprised. "How did they get here?"
Ye Feng: "Because the Lin family is reliable."
Ye Feng hadn't told his parents about Elder Tan and General Gu's plan yet, lest they blurt it out to others.
What if Lin Jinyue refuses to rebel and ascend the throne no matter what?
Honestly, after seeing Lin Jinyue's family, they felt that no one was worthy of sitting on the throne, and they should rebel and ascend the throne themselves.
They really felt they were inferior to the Lin family.
Therefore, it will be a bit of a hardship for Lin Jinyue and Lin Shucheng, one to be the emperor and the other to be the crown princess.
Ye Feng continued, "I donated 300,000 taels to the Lin family. Let's stay here from now on."
The Marquis of Yong'an and his wife were not particularly concerned about money.
After all, when Prince Jing detained the elite troops, Lady Hou exchanged more silver for more money and sold all the shops in the city, so she now has a lot of money on her hands.
Ye Feng continued, "If you don't have any ideas, Father, why don't you join the army with me?"
After asking around, Marquis Yong'an learned that he was to serve as a guard for Yunhe Village.
He slowly typed out a question mark.
Is my son not mentally challenged?
