Chen Yanchuan walked all the way inside and came to the pavilion in the center of the lake.
The housekeeper announced excitedly: "The prince is here!"
The eldest princess, who was sitting in the pavilion feeding the fish, seemed not to hear and continued throwing fish food into the pond.
Shen Yanchuan went over and saluted: "Grandma, your grandson is late."
The eldest princess then turned her head to look.
This eldest princess, who had fought on the battlefield and made great contributions to defending the country, is nearly sixty years old, but her eyes are clear and she is in high spirits. Her gray hair is neatly combed. Although there are wrinkles on her face, it is not difficult to tell how heroic and stunningly beautiful she was when she was young.
"I'm so glad you still remember an old woman like me." The eldest princess said slowly, "Have you recovered from your injuries?"
The corners of Chen Yanchuan's lips curved slightly: "Thank you grandma for your concern, grandson is doing well."
The princess snorted coldly, "If I don't urge you today, when do you plan to come? You haven't come back in a few years since you left Beijing!"
Shen Yanchuan was silent for a moment: "...Didn't you go to Huizhou two months ago?"
The princess hit him with her cane: "You're still talking! I just left and you were beaten half to death. What a shame!"
Chen Yanchuan did not dodge or evade, letting the cane hit him, and said with a smile: "Grandson, isn't this okay?"
The eldest princess finally stopped.
Ever since she received the news that Chen Yanchuan was injured, she had been extremely worried in the capital. She had finally waited for him to return to the capital, but he never came.
Although I guessed that his claim of recuperating was just an excuse, I couldn't let go of the worry I hadn't seen him for a day.
Only until I actually saw the person did I feel relieved.
Chen Yanchuan took the fish food and fed the fish beside the princess.
But the princess didn't really ask him to come and take care of these things.
"Yanchuan, you are already young and can get married and start a family." The eldest princess quickly got straight to the point. "I mentioned it to you twice before, and you refused each time. But now that you have returned to the capital, you can finally choose a good one, right?"
Chen Yanchuan was in low spirits.
Seeing his nonchalant look, the princess knew that he didn't take her words to heart.
"Your father is always busy with his own things and doesn't care about anything. Do you really want to keep dragging it out?"
The eldest princess was heartbroken.
Her precious grandson was born with good looks. When he was in his teens, he attracted the love of many noble ladies in the capital.
But he himself never paid much attention to this matter, and he went to the north a few years ago, which delayed him a lot of time.
"Go and take a look at the young masters of your age in the capital. Even if they are not married, they have people serving them. What about you?" The eldest princess said with disgust.
Shen Yanchuan remained unmoved.
The princess remembered something and lowered her voice to ask, "Tell grandma the truth. Did you go to the Ye Mansion yesterday for Miss Ye?"
Chen Yanchuan's eyelashes twitched slightly, and for a moment he did not deny it.
The eldest princess showed an expression of "as expected".
"I knew it! They say that the girl from the Ye family is beautiful, well-educated and well-mannered. Although she comes from a low-class family, if you like her, then -"
Shen Yanchuan felt something was wrong: "Who are you talking about?"
The eldest princess was stunned. "The elder sister of the twin boy and girl of the Ye family! I think her name is Ye Shixian?"
Chen Yanchuan frowned slightly: "It has nothing to do with her, I don't know her."
The eldest princess was a little surprised: "Then you made a special trip to the Ye Mansion yesterday?"
She knew her grandson too well. He was extremely intelligent, but also quite lazy and never did anything meaningless.
She didn't believe that Ye Heng had the face to invite him.
Chen Yanchuan pondered for a moment, "The doctor who treated me before was the second young lady who was just brought back by the Ye family. I'll go to her house to thank her."
The eldest princess really didn't know about this and was very surprised: "The one who saved you was a girl?"
Chen Yanchuan nodded.
The princess murmured, "That's really quite a skill..."
Chen Yanchuan said: "The medical skills are indeed top-notch."
The princess glanced at him for a moment longer and said, "It's rare to hear you praise someone like this. I must see it with my own eyes someday if I have the chance."
She was a little disappointed again.
"You thought you finally found a girl you liked. You really worried for nothing..."
For some reason, a gentle and beautiful face suddenly appeared in Shen Yanchuan's mind.
…
As soon as Ye Heng returned home, Ye Chutang came to find him.
He frowned, unable to guess why Ye Chutang came to see him at this time, but he still invited him into the study.
"Chu Tang, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Ye Chutang nodded and saluted: "There is indeed something I would like to ask for your help, uncle."
Ye Heng said: "You say."
Ye Chutang pondered for a moment and said, "I remember that when my father was in the capital, in addition to this house, he also had more than a dozen shops and hundreds of acres of land. I wonder if these deeds are in the hands of my second uncle now?"
Ye Heng’s eyelids jumped—here it comes!
Ever since Ye Chutang and the others came back, he knew that this question would definitely come up!
But I didn’t expect Ye Chutang to be so patient and wait until now.
He nodded: "Not bad."
Ye Chutang looked at him: "Uncle, to be honest, I am a little short of money now, so I wonder if you can return these things to me?"
Ye Heng was stunned: "Lack of money? Why?"
When Ye Chutang and the others came back, although their food, clothing and daily expenses seemed ordinary, they did not look like they were extremely poor.
Why are you suddenly saying you’re short of money?
Ye Chutang sighed: "You don't know, before I took Ah Yan, Ah Feng and Xiao Wu, I had no way to make a living for a while, so I borrowed money from others. Later, although I opened a clinic, I still couldn't make ends meet and barely made ends meet. And--"
She paused, seeming a little helpless.
"Besides, you know that Afeng has an impulsive personality. He often gets into trouble and loses a lot of money. After three years, there is indeed a big hole to be filled."
Ye Yunfeng, who was practicing boxing in the yard, felt an itch in his nose and sneezed loudly with his head tilted back.
“A-choo!”
He rubbed his face, turned around and asked Ye Jingyan: "Third brother, do you think my sister can get all the money back from my parents alone?"
Ye Jingyan didn't even raise his head and turned a page of the book: "Of course."
“That was originally ours.”
…
After listening to Ye Chutang's words, Ye Heng gradually frowned.
He put his hands behind his back, paced back and forth twice, and finally let out a long sigh.
"Chu Tang, you don't know that those shops don't make much money. The harvest from the fields is not good, so there is not much money to be made. So, if you need any money, just tell me the amount and your uncle will give it to you!"
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly and almost wanted to applaud.
How generous.
Seeing that Ye Chutang didn't say anything, Ye Heng added, "But don't worry, these things are still yours. Second uncle is just keeping them for you! Ah Yan and Ah Feng are still young, and you are a girl. It's really troublesome for you to take care of these. When they grow up in a few years, these will naturally be returned to them!"
He smiled and said, "When the time comes, I will select some of them as your dowry, and your second uncle will give you some dowry, so that you can marry in style!"
Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly.
"dowry?"
She just came back and you're already planning to kick her out?
After the release, there will be two updates every day, at 12 noon or 6 pm.
Thank you so much for your company along the way!
Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
