The expected abuse still made Ye Shiheng's face turn pale. His son was extremely filial and never talked back to him, so why should he teach him a lesson?
But in just a moment, Ye Shiheng's pair of bright eyes, black and white, revealed a hint of joy, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
As for why he was happy, only he knew.
This joy was very short-lived, however, Ye Zelin did not notice it.
Ye Shiheng picked up the teapot again and poured tea. The lotus painted on the pot was relaxed and natural, and the light pink petals looked like clouds in the sky, or like a little girl with a blushing face.
He smiled flatteringly, "Good son, Daddy knows that what I did was wrong, but is there nothing I can do? Daddy just wants Hua'er to be a member of our Ye family. So, Daddy doesn't ask for anything else, just ask that you marry Hua'er. From now on, you can do whatever you like. If you want to go to the academy, go to the academy. If you want to go to the brothel, go to the brothel. If you don't like going to the war, don't go to the war."
Ye Zelin did not drink Ye Shiheng's tea. The light yellow tea in the cup rippled, and the pear blossoms in the yard seemed to be giggling. Their smiles were radiant and charming. Neither the man nor the flowers were still.
The serious expression on Ye Zelin's face did not diminish at all, but instead intensified. He continued, "Father, you still don't see the fundamental point. If Fushu marries into the Ye family, it will ruin her life. Others are like sons betraying their fathers, but in your case, it's the father who betrays his son. You knew the news of Fushu's sister's arrival in Beijing before I did, but you didn't tell your son.
If I hadn't mentioned bringing her home, you'd never thought of letting Sister Fushu live with us? You were waiting for me to bring her home, right? In other words, you already knew where Sister Fushu was.
"No way, don't make random guesses." Ye Shiheng denied.
He thought to himself, how could I not see it?
It’s just that the flowers don’t like you, and you don’t like flowers that much either.
Ye Shiheng smiled awkwardly. He knew that his method of drugging was dishonorable, but he did not regret it.
His son doesn't like to drink, but he can drink a lot.
The drug he got could make Hua Fushu pass out after three cups of wine, but not his son. Three cups of wine might not make his son pass out.
Therefore, he mixed aphrodisiac incense into the sandalwood. In order to prevent his son from discovering it, he poured out the unburned sandalwood and replaced it with new sandalwood.
General Ye clasped his hands together and blinked his eyes. Although he was an extraordinary and heroic general, he begged his son like a little girl who had made a mistake.
"Son, don't be angry. Dad knows he was wrong. He knows he was wrong."
Ye Zelin had never seen such a father. In his impression, Ye Shiheng was a mighty, unyielding, heroic, loyal, brave and resolute general, and a loving and majestic father.
Suddenly, he remembered that day in the Xianhua Club, when Hua Fushu, who was disguised as a man, had begged him.
He still remembers Hua Fushu's big, misty eyes, so pitiful, as if he understood why his father liked Hua Fushu so much and was willing to betray his beloved son.
My father and Hua Fushu have some similarities in temperament. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and that's probably what it means.
Ye Zelin said, "Dad, fortunately nothing happened between my son and Sister Fushu. If anything had really happened, I would be held responsible even if I died. I don't want to discuss this matter anymore. Let's wait until Sister Fushu's parents arrive and discuss everything."
Ye Shiheng naturally agreed to his son's proposal.
Seeing that his father agreed, Ye Zelin bowed, said goodbye to his father, and returned to his own courtyard, Penglai Residence.
At this time, Hua Fushu and the other person were no longer living in Penglai.
Ye Zelin walked to the outside of the courtyard, stepped over the wall and jumped onto the towering ancient tree. He saw that the door of the guest room was closed. Sanqiao was sitting outside the door, hugging her knees, crying uncontrollably.
He frowned slightly, shook his head, sighed softly, then flew down and returned to his own courtyard.
The next day, Side hurried into Penglai Residence and said that the head and mistress of the Hua family had arrived.
Inside Penglai Residence, Ye Zelin was tending to the Spring Sword. The leaves of the Spring Sword were vigorous and green, strange and strong, the flower buds were light yellow-green, with a faint fragrance, it looked like both a heroic young man and a beautiful lady.
Si De hurried in, his handsome face filled with anxiety. He said, "Young Master, Patriarch Hua and Madam Ning have arrived. The General and his wife are waiting to greet them at the door. Miss Ruhuan, the eldest young master, and Madam Dugu have already rushed to the main hall. The General asks you to hurry over."
Ye Zelin asked, "Has the eldest daughter of the Hua family arrived yet?"
Side said: "The eldest daughter of the Hua family has never been there. It seems that she didn't know that her father and mother had come."
Ye Zelin turned around and said, "I'll change my clothes before going over."
Si De retreated alone, closed the door, and waited outside.
At that time, two sedan chairs were parked outside the general's mansion. The curtains were lifted by a young servant in blue. The first person to come out was a middle-aged man. He was wearing a silver-gray round-necked robe and a navy blue narrow-sleeved long shirt. His almond-shaped eyes were covered with a trace of vicissitudes of life, and his whole body exuded a heavy sense of fatigue.
This person is Hua Mingqian, the head of the Hua family, Ye Shiheng's sworn brother, and Hua Fushu's biological father.
Hua Mingqian walked quickly to another sedan chair, supporting a woman.
The woman was wearing a maroon cloak, with her hair in a bun, and a Dushan jade hairpin with a pair of crabapple blossoms on it. Her cheeks were pale, and her eyes were lifeless, making her look like a sick beauty.
The woman's surname was Ning, and her maiden name was Qidie. She was Hua Mingqian's wife and Hua Fushu's amiable and respectable mother.
Also coming with them was Hua Fushu's elder brother, Hua Dagongzi, whose real name was Yuehen and courtesy name was Feimo.
He is about the same age as Ye Zelin, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, a graceful figure and a dignified appearance.
Hua Feimo turned over and got off the horse, walked to the other side of Madam Qidie and supported her.
