Ye Jinyun also had a very good impression of this elder brother. When she was reborn in this body, she was young and had just lost her mother.
Father Ye doted on Yang and made her his legal wife. In order to curry favor with Yang, no one in the mansion treated her well. Even the maids and servants would secretly bully her and not give her food or drink.
After Ye Huaibai found out, he punished the servants who bullied her and persuaded Yang to treat her well.
Although Yang was angry that her son sided with an outsider, in order to prevent her son from becoming alienated from her, she put in some superficial efforts and stopped allowing the servants in the mansion to bully her. She only gave them a beating occasionally and deducted some of her share of the courtyard's allowance.
For Ye Jinyun, Ye Huaibai is her only relative after she was reborn into this world, and the only person besides Qing'er who can make her worry.
Before Ye Huaibai went out to study, he was worried that his mother and younger sister would bully Ye Jinyun after he left, so he specifically persuaded Yang not to treat her harshly for the sake of his own reputation abroad, so as to ensure that Ye Jinyun's life in the Ye Mansion would not be so difficult.
Ye Jinyun looked at the handsome man in front of her, who looked dusty but still had an unparalleled temperament. She bowed with a smile on her face and said, "Yun'er greets you, big brother. Did you have a smooth journey?"
Ye Huaibai had already seen Ye Jinyun standing in the crowd. Seeing that she was fine, he felt relieved. It seemed that Ye Jinyun had not been bullied in the mansion during the three years when he was away.
Nodding, Ye Huaibai said softly like a spring breeze: "Brother, everything is fine, Yun'er, don't worry."
The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled.
Back in the main hall, a group of people started to surround Ye Huaibai and ask him questions again, until Ye Huaibai could no longer bear it and said that he was exhausted and wanted to go down to take a shower and change clothes before they let him go.
At dinner time, in order to celebrate the successful selection of Ye Jinyun and the other two and the return of Ye Huaibai, Ye's father ordered people to prepare a banquet. The family had a great time chatting at the table and was in great joy.
Ye Jinyun was so happy that Ye Huaibai came home that she drank a few more glasses. After the banquet, she felt a little dizzy and asked Qing'er to help her take a walk in the garden to drive away the drunkenness.
The master and servant walked around the garden and slowly came to the edge of the pond. Ye Jinyun's steps were unsteady due to drinking, and it was too dark and he didn't pay attention. Suddenly, he stepped on a stone and his body tilted.
At the same time, an alarm sounded in my head: [Beep, beep, the host stepped on a stone and is about to fall into the pool, the system activates automatic dodge].
As his body dodged automatically, Ye Jinyun fell into an embrace that smelled of cedar.
When Ye Jinyun smelled this scent, he felt a little dependent. It was his elder brother.
The person who saved her was indeed Ye Huaibai. He caught Ye Jinyun and sighed.
"You, you don't look at the road when you walk, and you are so reckless. If I hadn't seen that you seemed drunk at the banquet just now and followed you to check on you, you would probably be soaked today."
Ye Jinyun stood up straight and stuck out her tongue, "Big brother is teaching me a lesson. Yun'er must keep her eyes on the road when she walks in the future and never let go."
Ye Huaibai smiled helplessly when he heard that, and his face, as gentle as jade, looked very beautiful in the moonlight.
Reaching out and scratching Ye Jinyun's nose, Ye Huaibai's handsome face showed a hint of sadness.
"Brother, what's wrong? Is there something bothering you?" Ye Jinyun asked
"I'm worried about you. I haven't been home for three years. When I came back, I heard that you and Rong'er were both chosen by the Emperor to enter the palace. Rong'er is fine, her parents won't let her suffer any harm. But you will have no one to look after you in the palace. What will you do?"
Ye Huaibai sighed, paused and said,
"Father naturally hopes that you and Rong'er will win a good future for the Ye family in the palace in the future. However, there are so many concubines in the harem, and the dramas of open and secret struggles are countless. It is a lifelong cage for women. How can it be a good home? I only hoped that you would marry an ordinary family in the future, and the couple would live in harmony. But I didn't expect that fate would play such a trick on us. Alas..."
Ye Jinyun looked at the bright young man in front of her and felt touched. Only an elder brother would truly care about her and make plans for her. Obviously, Ye Jinrong was his biological sister, but from childhood to adulthood, Ye Huaibai treated her much better and was much closer to her than Ye Jinrong.
Reaching out to hold Ye Huaibai's arm, Ye Jinyun leaned her head on Ye Huaibai's shoulder like when she was a child.
"Thank you, brother. You are so nice to me. Don't worry, Yun'er can take care of herself."
Ye Huaibai reached out and knocked on her head, shook his head and said nothing.
After enjoying the night breeze for a while and talking with Ye Huaibai for a while, Ye Jinyun was almost sober, so he stood up and said goodbye to Ye Huaibai.
Before leaving, she leaned close to Ye Huaibai's ear and whispered, "Brother, come to my yard to find me tomorrow. I have a secret to tell you." After that, she waved her hand and took Qing'er back.
Ye Huaibai frowned slightly, looking at Ye Jinyun who had already walked away, and remembered what she had just said, secret, what kind of secret could his little sister have.
