General Ye smiled dotingly, "Yes, Grandpa misses our Ruhuan the most."
Ruhuan leaned against General Ye and said, "Ruhuan misses Grandpa the most, too."
Ye Shiheng took a few steps forward and said respectfully, "Dad, it's great that you're back."
General Ye looked at him coldly, snorted at him again, and his eyes became even colder when he glanced at Madam Ouyang, even disgusted.
Madam Ouyang bowed and respectfully called him "Eunuch".
"Dad, don't just stand there." Ye Shiheng said.
General Ye took the first seat, and Mrs. Xu stood beside him.
Ye Shiheng asked everyone to sit down, and Madam Ouyang sat below Ye Shiheng, with Ruhuan standing behind her.
Dugu Lanxi took the first seat before General Ye, followed by Ye Zelin and Hua Fushu. Wujing brought General Ye the palace's finest Biluochun tea, but the old general took a sip and stopped.
His cold gaze swept over everyone again. Except for Ruhuan, everyone kept silent and held their breath. Hua Fushu also became inexplicably nervous.
He finally looked at Dugu Lanxi, "Where is Yunlu's wife, Yunlu's people?"
His tone was filled with dissatisfaction, which made Dugu Lanxi nervous. She stood up and bowed, "Reply, Grandfather, His Majesty has ordered Su Qing to go to Ganzhou for an inspection."
He asked again: "When did you go to Ganzhou?"
Dugu Lanxi said, "We went to Ganzhou yesterday. The journey to Ganzhou is very long. I'm afraid Su Qing will have to wait for two or three months before returning to the capital."
General Ye didn't ask any more questions, but just replied softly with a "hmm".
Gu Du Lanxi said again: "Grandfather, Feiyuan has been cleaned up and everything is back to normal."
General Ye was somewhat satisfied and allowed Dugu Lanxi to sit down.
Ye Zelin looked at Hua Fushu, and Hua Fushu also looked at him. They both stood up at the same time and faced General Ye.
Ye Zelin bowed and saluted with unusual respect, "Grandson Ye Zelin pays his respects to grandfather."
Hua Fushu bowed her hands habitually, but just as she was about to speak, she felt something was wrong. Sanqiao called her softly, and she suddenly realized her mistake. She quickly bowed and said, "Granddaughter-in-law Hua Fushu wishes you good afternoon, grandfather."
General Ye ignored Hua and Ye and called Ruhuan to ask about her well-being.
Ye Shiheng looked at his son and daughter-in-law, and then at Ruhuan's father who was asking questions endlessly, feeling anxious and helpless.
Ruhuan looked at her brother, held her grandfather's hand, and said in a sweet voice, "Grandpa, my second brother is still okay."
The old man asked Ye Zelin and the other man to stand up. Just as they were about to sit back down, he suddenly asked, "I heard you often go to Wenxuzhai?"
Ye Zelin didn't understand, but still answered yes.
Unexpectedly, the old man said, "My Ye family has been martial arts for generations. Scholars are useless, but you want to become that useless scholar. What is the Ye family? What is the spirit of the Ye family? The descendants of the Ye family really can't bear it!"
Ye Zelin said, "Grandfather, reading the books of the sages can enlighten us about the doctrines of the school of thought, and help us to behave well and cultivate our character. How can it be useless?"
General Ye mocked, "As a descendant of the Ye family, I would rather be a centurion than a scholar. You haven't grown in skills, but you have learned to argue."
Ye Shiheng said: "Dad!"
General Ye looked at him coldly: "Why, you dare to do it and won't let people say it?"
Hua Fushu lowered his head and blurted out, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."
Although the words were spoken quietly, everyone could hear them clearly, especially Ye Zelin, who was standing next to Hua Fushu.
Everyone looked at Hua Fushu, shocked and surprised. General Ye even asked coldly, "What did you say? Lift your head and say it again!"
Ruhuan, Dugu Lanxi, and Madam Ouyang all felt their hair stand on end, and Ye Shiheng was even more nervous.
Hua Fushu was not afraid of him. He suddenly raised his head, looked directly at the old man, and spoke seriously. Ye Zelin was too late to stop him, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."
Ye Shiheng stared in amazement. How dare this girl say that?
Mrs. Ouyang was also worried. Is this girl looking for trouble?
The old man is not someone to be trifled with.
Gu Du Lanxi kept giving Hua Fushu a look, and Ruhuan also gave her a few looks, but Hua Fushu just ignored them.
General Ye said sarcastically, "You really have a good upbringing!"
Hua Fushu replied, "I didn't mention anyone by name, old general. Why are you so aggressive? Are you admitting that you can't produce ivory?"
She suddenly realized, "I forgot, you are not an elephant, how can you spit out ivory, or you are not even as good as an elephant."
The old man's face was ashen and sullen, even uglier than that toad. Hua Fushu changed the subject and said, "Grandfather Ye, don't talk to me about my upbringing. My upbringing is my own business. Before you judge others' upbringing, it would be more appropriate to think about your own upbringing first."
The old man's face was as black as ink, and his facial features could not be seen. His muscles were throbbing with anger, and he slammed the table. The teacup on the table fell to the ground and shattered. He pointed at Hua Fushu and said, "You!"
The old man sneered, "A straight top beam will produce a good bottom beam, and a crooked top beam will produce a crooked bottom beam. You two have the same aspirations, birds of a feather. You truly are a perfect match!"
Ye Shiheng said angrily: "Dad, that's enough!"
There was a blazing fire in Ye Zelin's starry eyes, and the fist clenched in the ultramarine sleeves made a creaking sound. His gaze shifted to Madam Ouyang, who shook her head slightly, and the fire in his eyes had to be extinguished a little.
Dugu Lanxi had something to say but dared not say anything, and Ruhuan was at a loss.
Sanqiao behind Hua Fushu was angry and resentful, and Wujing and Side, father and son, did not dare to say a word. In the Ye family, the oldest person was the old general, and even Madam Ouyang had to live by his mood.
On the contrary, Hua Fushu had a calm expression. He glanced at the old man and curled up a playful smile.
She looked at Ye Zelin and asked, "Husband, what book did you read when you were first enlightened?"
