The old man must have been really tired, which is why he chose to completely relinquish power at this time and hand over the entire Ye family to his eldest son.
Ye Yutang was genuinely taken aback when he first heard the old man's words, but after thinking about some things, he understood:
"It's bound to be turbulent after Kyoto, so going back to the countryside is a good idea."
"Yes, Kyoto is no longer the domain of us old folks. Yutang, remember this: the Ye family's honor must never be lost!"
"I see!"
The old man waved his hand: "Go on with your work."
Ye Yutang silently left the old man's study. After going downstairs, he glanced at the Ye family's old house. At this moment, Deputy Wang stepped forward:
"Chief of Staff, where to go?"
For the past twenty years, Ye Yutang has hardly ever stayed at the Ye family's old residence; you could count the number of times he's stayed there on one hand. So, Deputy Wang was already quite used to asking this question.
"Let's stay here tonight."
Upon hearing this answer, Lieutenant Wang was clearly surprised, his jaw nearly dropping, but thankfully he quickly recovered.
"yes!"
In fact, not only Lieutenant Wang, but also the servants of the Ye family were so shocked by the news that their hands trembled and they dropped their cups... This shows just how shocking the news was!
Ye Yutang didn't seem to have any particular feelings and went straight back to his room.
For a moment, the Ye family was in an uproar, or rather, in a state of utter commotion, with servants whispering amongst themselves:
"Hey, why is the Chief of Staff resting at home today?"
"What do you mean by that? This is the Chief of Staff's home! What's so strange about him going home to rest?"
"But in all these years, I have never seen the Chief of Staff come back to rest. He always comes and goes in a hurry. It feels like this place is not even a hotel."
"Shh, stop talking nonsense. You don't know why the Chief of Staff hasn't come back. Years ago, he would come back whenever he had time. Unfortunately, that person is gone, and the Chief of Staff's heart is dead too!"
"Huh? Who is it?"
"Shh, don't say it, it's taboo."
.........
At this very moment, Ye Yutang, lying fully clothed on the bed, was not sleepy at all.
All the furnishings in the house are exactly the same as they were more than 20 years ago, and a wedding photo with his deceased wife hangs on the wall.
Jin'er, do you really hate me? Is that why you've never appeared in my dreams all these years? Why haven't I even had the chance to dream of you?
Or will it really be as we hope?
Did a miracle happen?
That night, the person lying in bed didn't close their eyes, their gaze fixed on the photo on the wall in front of them, until dawn the next day, their eyes bloodshot.
Knock, knock, knock... A knocking sound came from the door.
The man, who hadn't slept all night, sat up in bed, got out of bed, and opened the door.
Deputy Wang appeared at the door, holding the latest tracking report in his hand:
"Chief of Staff, the Guan family's former daughter-in-law has returned with the child!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Yutang's expression changed somewhat: "Prepare the car, we're going right away," he instructed.
Whether it is true or not, up to this point, that woman feels far too familiar to me!
But according to the investigation, she has no connection with the Guan family, right?
Why did you come back again?
Should we go back to the Guan family?
Could it be that something has happened?
Perhaps even Ye Yutang himself didn't realize the changes in his mind and body?
In fact, many times, people's first instincts are really not wrong!
However, it is easily overlooked.
Wang, the adjutant, was well aware of his chief of staff's concern for Guan's former daughter-in-law, so he went downstairs to prepare the car.
