"Whether you support your family or not is your business. Even I am Xiaoxi's guest. All I know is that I don't want Xiaoxi to be unhappy."
Finally, Ye Shiming refused to look at Wang Li again, and Butler Lu immediately stepped forward to handle the matter.
Xiaoxi was the first to enter the courtyard to greet everyone. Her family had a Michelin-starred chef whom her fifth brother had recruited, and he had prepared a sumptuous feast.
The bodyguards and servants set up a table in the outer courtyard for Ye Shiming, his sister Xiao Xi, and his sworn brother Li Heng.
Although he had tasted all the dishes on the table, his mood was different now. He felt that the dinner was really delicious, and for a time, both host and guests were happy.
After the meal, Li Heng's soldiers came to report.
The courtyard house over there has been cleaned up, and any evil spirits have been removed from the ground beneath it.
The layout of the courtyard was already quite eerie, and there were thousands of skeletons buried underground, some of which were over a hundred years old and had been moved from mass graves on the outskirts of Beijing.
Xiaoxi and the others were astonished.
"That old ancestor was really wicked; he set up this scheme many years ago."
Xiaoxi didn't say anything more and silently sympathized with Ye Shiming.
Ye Shiming knew that having such an ancestor was a complicated matter. The ancestor even had a family deity statue there, which caused them to worship so devoutly, and the whole family almost lost their lives.
"What are your plans next, Second Uncle?"
"That old bastard is too despicable. If we don't find a way to destroy him, our Ye family will be ruined by him and we will have no way out."
Xiaoxi, I'll leave it to you then.
Ye Shiming's eyes reddened as he spoke, and his pleading expression was impossible to hide.
This was exactly the effect Xiaoxi wanted. After all, he was the patriarch of the Ye family in Beijing, and it was indeed difficult for the Ye family in Shanghai to interfere.
However, it's different when their patriarch personally begs her.
"I'll try my best," Xiaoxi said, feigning reluctance.
Ye Shiming was now in a dilemma. Dawn was approaching, and although he owned many properties, he dared not live anywhere.
Ye Shiming found it difficult to speak, and could only look at Xiaoxi with longing. There was a master in Xiaoxi's courtyard, and he could only feel safe under Xiaoxi's protection.
Xiao Xi also considered Ye Shiming's current predicament. Even if you are the richest people in Beijing, so what? You still have nowhere to settle down.
"Second Uncle, my third brother has another courtyard house next door. Before we destroy the ancestor, you can live next door. Anyway, it's just sitting empty most of the time."
Ye Shiming was so moved that tears streamed down his face.
"Thank you, Xiaoxi. How can I possibly thank you?"
"No need to thank me, Uncle. We all share the same surname, Ye. We should help each other out when we're in trouble."
Ye Shiming didn't say anything more; there was no point in talking about it anymore. He silently made up his mind that he would definitely thank Xiaoxi properly.
At this moment, Li Heng saw that it was about to dawn, so he stood up and said goodbye to Xiao Xi.
"Brother Li Heng, since you're already here, why not stay a few more days?"
"Xiaoxi, you know we've all been busy this month, especially these last two days."
Xiaoxi remembered that these two days were the Ghost Festival, and Liheng's affairs were indeed quite heavy.
"Once this busy period is over, and your godmother and the others return to Shanghai, you must come and stay at our house for a few more days."
So Xiaoxi reluctantly saw Li Heng off.
Ye Lingfeng immediately stuck it on.
"Xiaoxi, aren't eight older brothers enough for you? What about the little prince? Where did he get so many brothers?"
Xiao Xi deliberately wanted to annoy Ye Lingfeng.
"I have many older brothers outside, including a local earth god brother who is a powerful general! Let's see if you treat me badly again!"
