Chapter 122: Worry (Part 1)
When it was getting dark, Ye Heng finally returned to the Ye Mansion.
He has not had a good time in the Dali Temple recently. Su Wei dislikes everything about him and has been marginalizing him.
The people below did not dare to offend Su Wei, so they naturally distanced themselves from Ye Heng.
It was just these two days that Su Wei and his team were busy investigating the polo match and didn't have much time to pay attention to Ye Heng, so he was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, as soon as he entered the door, Ye Shixian came towards him with a nervous look.
"Dad, you're finally back."
Seeing that her expression was not right, Ye Heng frowned: "What's wrong? Is it your mother who is making trouble again, or is it your brother——"
"Neither." Ye Shixian shook her head, but seemed to find it difficult to speak. "Yes, something happened with Han Yao and my cousin."
Ye Heng walked aside and sat down, picked up the teacup and wanted to drink some tea, but found it was empty.
He became more and more annoyed and asked impatiently, "Didn't they go out to the lake together today? Why did your cousin give them the cold shoulder?"
Ye Shixian pursed her lips and said, "No, something went wrong with Han Yao. He, he got a prostitute pregnant, and she came to my house today!"
Ye Heng looked up in astonishment: "What did you say!?"
Ye Shixian had no choice but to tell Ye Heng everything that happened in the evening. With every extra word she said, Ye Heng's face became uglier.
"In the end, Han Yao had no choice but to bring the brothel girl back to his house—"
Bang!
Ye Heng raised his hand and threw the teacup hard to the ground, with fragments flying everywhere.
"This useless thing!" Ye Heng was furious. "The road was paved for him, but he made such a mess!"
Ye Shixian took a step back in shock.
"Dad, don't be angry yet. We have to think of a way to suppress this matter!"
"Press it? How?" Ye Heng's forehead was throbbing with veins. "Feiyue Lake! So many people saw it! In less than a day, this news will spread throughout the streets and alleys of the capital!"
He clenched his teeth, and his chest felt like a ball of fire was raging wildly.
"I have already hinted to him that he should avoid those romantic places for the time being! Once the marriage is settled, everything will be fine! He just can't control himself!? Now that it has become like this, what shall we do next!"
Ye Shixian guessed that he would be angry, but she didn't expect him to be so angry. She carefully advised, "Dad, Han Yao was wrong in this matter, but who could have thought that Su Pei'er was pregnant and came directly to us? If I had known this, I shouldn't have gone to Feiyue Lake today."
Thinking of the scene where Su Pei'er was about to die, Ye Shixian curled her lips with a hint of contempt in her eyes.
"That woman is making such a fuss because she wants to use her son's status to get into the Han family."
"It doesn't matter what she thinks. What's important is that everyone knows about this now!" Ye Heng took a deep breath and pressed his eyebrows. "Where is Ye Chutang now?"
This matter must be resolved as soon as possible!
Ye Shixian glanced outside: "She didn't come back with me. After leaving Feiyue Lake, she went directly to the Princess's Mansion and said she wanted to pick up the little girl."
Ye Heng felt something was wrong: "How long has she been gone?"
"About an hour." Ye Shixian guessed, "Maybe he stayed there for dinner."
Ye Heng paced back and forth for a few steps, as if he had made up his mind: "I'm going to the Princess's Mansion."
Ye Shixian was stunned: "Now?"
It's already dark today.
"Don't worry. If she comes back late, the people in the Princess's Mansion will take her back." Ye Shixian said sourly, "After all, she is a frequent visitor to the Princess's Mansion now."
Ye Heng said nothing and walked out.
The eldest princess announced in public yesterday that she intended to arrange a marriage for Ye Chutang. He declined under pressure, saying that she and Han Yao were in love and the wedding date would be set soon. But this happened today!
What does the eldest princess think of him? What other people are saying! ?
Ye Heng became increasingly uneasy and quickened his pace.
He suddenly thought of something and turned back to Ye Shixian and shouted, "You come too!"
Since he is not here today, only Ye Shixian can say a few words.
Ye Shixian didn't want to go, thinking that Ye Heng was too worried, but looking at his expression, she didn't dare to refute him and had to follow him.
…
The Princess's Mansion.
"Xiaowu seems to like this five-treasure sweet soup very much?" The eldest princess said with a smile.
Ye Chutang glanced at Xiao Wu, and the corners of his lips curved slightly: "She has loved sweets since she was a child."
The eldest princess thought Xiaowu was well-behaved and cute, so naturally everything was good for her.
"If you like it, come whenever you want to eat it and let the kitchen make it for you."
Ye Chutang paused: "I'm afraid this is too troublesome..."
"What's the problem?" The princess pinched Xiaowu's soft face, her heart melting, "It's normal for a little girl to like sweets! She's not like Yanchuan, who is very picky, especially when she was a child, she wouldn't touch those sweet soups and snacks."
Being picky and nosy is really annoying!
Ye Chutang: “…”
She suddenly remembered that when she was in Jiangling before, every time Chen Yanchuan took medicine, he would drink up the bitter medicine without changing his expression.
...I understand. This man loves to endure hardships.
Ye Chutang looked out the window and said, "It's getting late. We should go back."
"You've been busy for a long time today, you must be exhausted, why don't you just rest here." The princess remembered something, her expression became much lighter, and she said without disguising, "Besides, what's there to go back to with the Ye family?"
Ye Chutang paused, but a slight curve appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Home, of course, has to go back."
The eldest princess was startled, but saw that the girl had a calm expression, as if she was lost in memories of the past, with a warm light surging in her eyes.
The words in my throat suddenly became unspeakable.
How could she forget that this was her home?
Ye Chutang gathered his thoughts, narrowed his eyes, and said, "Besides, tomorrow is Ah Yan's fourteenth birthday. The birthday gift I prepared for him is still in the house, waiting to be delivered to him at the Imperial College tomorrow."
The princess was a little surprised: "Really? Then he——"
As she was talking, Zhu Xin came in from outside, "Princess, Lord Ye is here."
Lord Ye, naturally refers to Ye Heng.
The eldest princess paused and the smile on her face faded.
"Let him in."
Ye Heng quickly came down under the guidance of the maid, followed by Ye Shixian.
As soon as he entered the room, Ye Heng took a quick look and saw that Ye Chutang and Xiao Wu were indeed there, and his heart was finally relieved.
He stopped and bowed respectfully: "Your humble servant greets the princess."
The princess said calmly, "It's so late, why are you here, Lord Ye?"
Ye Heng's throat was dry, and he forced a smile: "It's getting late, and seeing that Chu Tang hasn't returned yet, I was worried, so I thought of coming to pick her up in person--"
The eldest princess suddenly laughed, but there was no smile in the corners of her eyes or eyebrows.
"So Lord Ye still cares about Chu Tang?"
