Chapter 358 Ye Shizi’s request “There is no shortage.” Seeing from…
"Yes, there is a shortage." Seeing the person coming out of the kitchen, Qi Xiu Ze lowered his head and laughed silently, without saying anything.
"Little brother, are you in a bad mood?"
Xu Yunfan smiled with a forced smile, the corners of his mouth twitching upwards: "...Okay, very good, how could your brother be in a bad mood?"
"Okay, if you don't want to laugh, then don't laugh. You look ugly like that." Sister Fang pinched Xu Yunfan's face and coaxed him softly, "Be good, don't be angry."
"I'm not angry, huh."
"You're still being stubborn even after humming, little brother. Have you learned to say one thing and mean another? Not bad."
Seeing this, Xiao Hengzhi on the side finally understood why Xu Yunfan was so good at acting like a spoiled child. It was because he was spoiled.
Look at him, he is so grown up, but he still needs his sister to coax him. Isn't he ashamed?
Qin Run found it amusing to see Qi Xiu Ze and the others looking at Xu Yunfan with a smug look on their faces. "Yunfan, come over here and have a cold drink. Isn't that your favorite? I made you one. Come and try it."
Xu Yunfan glanced at her sisters and deliberately said, "You're here right now. My husband loves me the most." Unlike some people, who protect strangers before they even get married and keep saying that they love him the most.
It turns out that love also has a shelf life.
Xu Yunfan drank the iced juice and all the unpleasantness was forgotten. Before Xu Yunfan could relax for a while, Ye Fangzheng came to visit him.
"Why is he here?" Xiao Hengzhi was very puzzled. This bastard had been back in Beijing for so long but had never looked for him once. Now he remembered him.
Xu Yunfan glanced at the others and said, "Father-in-law, maybe they are here to see me."
"Impossible." Xiao Hengzhi said confidently.
Since he came to visit so late at night, not meeting him would be a disrespect to Lord Ye. Xiao Hengzhi said, "Let him in."
Ye Fangzheng hurried in, and was surprised to find that he was not looking for Xiao Hengzhi, but for Xu Yunfan.
Fortunately, Xiao Hengzhi was already waiting. Xu Yunfan was very surprised, "Prince Ye is looking for me?"
"Yes, I'm looking for you." Ye Fangzheng knew he had something to ask of him, so he lowered his attitude and said, "I beg Master Xu to help me."
Xu Yunfan did not agree immediately. "I wonder if Master Ye needs any help. You know, I'm just a junior teacher without any real power."
The powerless young tutor is not even a little bit inferior to the prince who has hereditary title.
Ye Fangzheng gritted his teeth, as if he had made some kind of resolution. "I know you have a good relationship with Demonzali, and you have business dealings with Princess Demon that are related to the survival of the people of Dongwu. If you ask for something, Princess Demon will definitely give you a favor."
Xu Yunfan: “…”
This hat is a bit too high.
"Prince Ye is exaggerating. This is just a mutually beneficial business matter. I wonder what exactly is the purpose of Prince Ye's visit?"
Ye Fangzheng clenched his fists and growled, "I want Demonno to return my husband to me. He is my husband, not hers."
"Shut up." Before Xu Yunfan could get too surprised, Xiao Hengzhi shouted, "You bastard, how dare you talk about husband? Who is your husband? Why don't you go out and ask everyone who they are talking about? You are just talking nonsense. How can Demonno's husband be yours?"
"Cousin!" Ye Fangzheng screamed, "You don't even help me. You clearly know everything. Why are you so disloyal? I'm obviously your cousin."
"What cousin? I told you back then that if you continue to do stupid things, I will not have a cousin like you. But you don't repent. You keep doing stupid things all day long. You even do it when you are pregnant. Who can you blame for ruining someone? The bitter fruit you are suffering today is just what you sow. You deserve it." Xiao Hengzhi's words were so ruthless and cold-blooded.
Ye Fangzheng's eyes were red, but facing Xiao Hengzhi, he still stubbornly refused to shed tears.
Yes, Ye Fangzheng understood it too well. Now if he went out to ask who Ye Shizi’s husband was, everyone would just tell him that his husband was not Lu Fan, but Zhou Qi.
Xu Yunfan sat aside, looking a little dumbfounded.
What the hell?
Do you want to ask what he heard?
Ye Fangzheng is actually Xiao Hengzhi's cousin. No, how come he didn't know about this all along, and no one told him?
The study suddenly fell into an awkward silence. Xu Yunfan did not say a word, listening to the gossip with great interest, completely keeping himself out of the matter.
"Why do you want Yunfan to help you? You were the one who told him to get out, and now you want him back? Why don't you go home and take a piss to look at yourself? Who do you think Lufan is? If you want him, he has to come back gratefully. If you don't want him, he has to get out without any complaints."
"A dog will always eat shit, a mouse will always dig holes, and you, a dog or mouse, are even less likely to change. If you could change, you should have done it back then, instead of pretending to be full of regret and begging for mercy, making it seem like you love him so deeply. I'm telling you, it's too late."
Xu Yunfan pursed his lips, trying hard to suppress his laughter: "..."
Oh, you really can’t judge a person by his appearance. His father-in-law would curse people, calling them dogs and rats. What kind of mutant is that?
If it were anyone else, being scolded like this by Xiao Hengzhi would have been completely humiliated and speechless. However, Ye Fangzheng was not an ordinary person. Or perhaps he had prepared himself mentally before coming here. "I know I was wrong, cousin. I have changed now. I have changed for the past ten years. If you don't believe me, just ask Sifan."
"I don't bother to ask. What does your business have to do with me? Who knows if you two are of the same ilk? You still want to be a mortal? How ridiculous." The word "this king" showed his distance.
"Cousin, please help me, please help me, please, I beg you."
Ye Fangzheng cried heart-wrenchingly and looked so pitiful, but unfortunately he cried to the wrong person. At this moment, Xiao Hengzhi was a cold-blooded and ruthless person with a heart as hard as iron. Facing Ye Fangzheng's tears, he was not moved at all, and the words he said were even more cold and piercing.
"Help you? Didn't I say that? Why? Beg? Why don't you kneel down? You say you're begging, but what about your actions? I can't see your sincerity."
Xiao Hengzhi smiled with interest, "Lu Fan didn't beg people like this back then. He also had a strong and proud character. But when he begged, he knelt down resolutely and kowtowed, knowing that a man's knees are made of gold. But you, on the other hand, just touched your upper and lower lips and shed a few worthless tears, and that's begging? This king really didn't see any sincerity at all. He is a human, and you are also a human. He begged people, and you begged people too, so why are your methods different? Oh, I understand, because you are the high and mighty prince of Ye Houye's family, how can an ordinary commoner compare to you? This king is also stupid. I actually compared you with someone as lowly as Lu Fan. It's really inappropriate."
That's a bit too much.
Xu Yunfan: "...Father-in-law."
They are good cousins, how big is the hatred and resentment between them that they have to go to this extent?
"What are you shouting?" Xiao Hengshui glared at Xu Yunfan and signaled him to shut up.
It was unknown how much of a blow Xiao Hengzhi's words had brought to Ye Fangzheng. Ye Fangzheng's face turned pale, his hands trembling, and he shivered. With a plop, he knelt on his knees and kowtowed to Xiao Hengzhi, his forehead touching the ground, and choked with sobs, begging, "Cousin, please help me. Please."
There was a dull thud. Just by hearing the sound, Xu Yunfan felt pain. However, Xu Yunfan was mostly speechless.
No, didn't you ask me for help just now? Why are you asking Xiao Hengzhi for help now?
Xiao Heng's heart was as hard as iron, unmoved by Ye Fangzheng's request. "You've asked the wrong person. I can't help you with this matter. Don't you know that I have no friendship with Demonno?"
Xu Yunfan: “…”
No, since you can't help, why are you still saying that? Isn't that just kidding me?
Unexpectedly, Ye Fangzheng was not annoyed and turned in another direction...
Xu Yunfan hurriedly helped the man up, "Hey, Master Ye, get up quickly."
"Master Xu, please help me. If you help me this once, in the future, no matter what Master Xu asks for, Ye Jiading will do his utmost to help him, even if it means going through fire and water."
Xiao Hengzhi sneered, "Humph, that sounds nice. You don't even have the final say in the Ye family. Who are you trying to please?"
What kind of cousins are these?
Xu Yunfan quickly spoke up, "Prince Ye, as far as I know, your husband is Master Zhou Qi of the Zhou family. What is your relationship with Princess Demeng's husband?"
Xiao Hengzhi interrupted again, "Of course it is related. You don't know, this guy is a fickle person. He has a man in his bed but he still attracts other men. He imitates the style of the Dongwu Kingdom and wants to marry several men to warm his bed. He changes one every day. I don't know where he got the courage to do so. Is he so capable? Can he handle it? Isn't he afraid of dying in bed?"
Xu Yunfan: “…”
Ye Fangzheng: “…”
In front of the younger generation, my cousin really doesn't treat him as his brother!
It turned out that when Ye Fangzheng and Lu Fan fell in love, Lu Fan fell in love with them and thought that they were in love with each other, so he put all his attention on Ye Fangzheng.
Lu Fan was originally an unfavored illegitimate son of the Lu family, who were merely a family of merchants. It was an honor for Lu Fan and the entire Lu family that he was favored by the young master of the Ye family.
But who would have thought that the young master of the Ye family would not admit their relationship, and told others that it was Lu Fan who was entangled with him. How could a bastard who was not presentable be worthy of the only young master of the Marquis's family?
You know, today he is a young master, but tomorrow, he may not be the same.
How could a prince be a concubine's son, let alone a concubine's son of the Lu family, think of this?
The Lu family was furious, and they all thought that Lu Fan was shameless, and had brought disgrace to the Lu family, making people laugh at them for trying to climb to power through a bastard. Although this was what Mr. Lu thought, he still felt ashamed when his little thoughts were exposed by outsiders. In a rage, he drove Lu Fan out of the house and threatened to sever the father-son relationship with Lu Fan.
Lu Fan was devastated. Being kicked out of the Lu family didn't matter to him, but he couldn't believe that Ye Fangzheng actually took what he thought was mutual love as one-sided stalking from him.
Ye Fangzheng was already pregnant at that time, and Lu Fan just couldn't believe it. If she didn't love him, how could Ye Fangzheng be willing to have his child?
If you don't love, what's the point of whispering in the bed and making vows when you are in love?
Just when Lu Fan went to find Ye Fangzheng, he witnessed Ye Fangzheng kissing another man behind his back. Lu Fan couldn't believe it and chased Ye Fangzheng for an answer.
During that period, even though she was pregnant, Ye Fangzheng had no scruples. She drank as much as she wanted and stayed out all night as usual. It was unknown which man she stayed in bed with and made love with him until she returned home exhausted the next afternoon.
At first, Lu Fan asked Ye Fangzheng not to do this for the sake of the child, saying that the child was too young and could not bear it. Ye Fangzheng said in anger that he would abort the child. Lu Fan knelt down and kowtowed to beg Ye Fangzheng to keep the child. This was his only family. He already had no home, no lover, and could not live without a child.
Perhaps he was fed up with it, so Ye Fangzheng told Lu Fan, "It's just a joke, why do you take it so seriously? The child is pregnant, so how can you be sure that the child is yours?" Since you are so convinced, then fine, the child will be given to you after it is born. This young master doesn't care about it.
These words have become the last straw that broke the camel's back.
In order to be with Ye Fangzheng, Lu Fan lost everything. Devastated, he decided to leave Beijing.
Lu Fan gave up, but Ye Fangzheng started to beat Canlan like a thief, threatening him with the child in an attempt to keep Lu Fan.
Later, Lu Fan happened to meet Xiao Hengzhi who was looking for a doctor on his way out of Beijing with the child in his arms. Xiao Hengzhi told Lu Fan that Ye Fangzheng had sent people to look for him. With this child, they would never be able to get away with it. This was Lord Ye's first grandson. Even if Ye Fangzheng didn't want him, what about Lord Ye?
Yes, this child may not be his own, but he is definitely Ye Fangzheng’s offspring, that is, the bloodline of the Ye family. Lord Ye will never allow the bloodline of the Ye family to flow outside.
There was no other way, so Lu Fan handed the child over to Xiao Hengzhi's people and asked them to take the child back to the Ye family. With the help of Xiao Hengzhi, Lu Fan "accidentally" met Demonno, and was taken back to Dongwu Kingdom by Demonno, completely away from this sad place.
At the beginning, Ye Fangzheng was ruthless. Xiao Hengzhi, who had suffered emotional pain and was also betrayed and played around by his brother, could empathize with him too much.
Considering the relationship between the two families, Xiao Hengzhi advised Ye Fangzheng to stop and cherish the person in front of him. However, Ye Fangzheng was very impatient and asked Xiao Hengzhi not to meddle in his affairs.
At that time, Xiao Heng was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and threatened Ye Fangzheng not to regret it in the future. Ye Fangzheng swore that anyone might regret it, but he would definitely not. People are born to enjoy life in the moment. There are so many handsome men in the world. Men can have three wives and four concubines and have affairs with other women. Why can't this boy do the same? Why should he hang himself on a tree?
Xiao Hengzhi still remembered these words clearly. Now, looking at Ye Fangzheng's pitiful request, Xiao Hengzhi felt no emotion but only satisfaction.
"What's the point of you begging me? I advised you not to listen to the old man and you are suffering now. Have you seen it now?"
Ye Fangzheng: “…”
He really wanted to refute this statement. Xiao Hengzhi was only one year older than him. Old man's words? More like fart.
Unfortunately, he needed help from others, so Ye Fangzheng couldn't help but say, "Cousin, I was wrong. Blame me for being young and ignorant and not knowing how to appreciate good people. I was wrong, I know I was wrong."
Not all mistakes have the opportunity to be corrected. Ye Fangzheng realized this truth too late.
So much so that when he looked back, the person had already left him.
"Cousin, I know you love Sifan. I know you've sent so many doctors to see him over the years. Please help me for Sifan's sake. The child can't be without a father."
"You are wrong. A child cannot live without a father. But have you forgotten that Sifan is already grown up and has long passed the age where he needs his father to hold him up high. It is still unknown whether he blames Lu Fan or not. How can you be sure that he definitely wants Lu Fan to come back? Now, Ye Sifan doesn't know what you said back then. What do you think he would think if he knew what you said? His own father was toyed with by you, and in the end he lost his home and had nothing. Why do you think Lu Fan left back then?"
"It's not that he wants to leave, but the capital can't accommodate him. Here, he's a joke. Boys laugh at his infatuation, men look down on his wishful thinking, and girls think he has nothing. Isn't all this because of you? Now you are a prodigal son who has returned, but why should he have to wait for you here? He is now the emperor's husband in Dongwu Kingdom. Isn't it better than staying in the capital? Only a fool would want to come back."
"Besides, why would he come back for someone who might not be his son? If there is something, once it is said, even if it is false, the person who hears it may not be free of resentment. After so many years, maybe he has a child and is in love with someone. If it were me, I would have to be crazy to come back."
Xiao Hengzhi's words were extremely destructive to Ye Fangzheng. This was probably what it meant to kill someone without shedding blood.
Ye Fangzheng slumped on the ground, tears falling silently like short beads. He was so distraught that Xu Yunfan once thought he was going to faint. What was the grudge or grudge?
If he didn't love him, if he realized Lu Fan's importance only after losing him, Ye Fangzheng wouldn't have named his child Sifan when he was born.
Perhaps, he had already thought that Lu Fan would leave at that time, and even thought about sending the child away.
A desire to become a mortal not only carries his regret, but the two words "want to become a mortal" may also carry a love that cannot be expressed in words.
Xu Yunfan: "Father-in-law, seeing is not necessarily believing."
