Chapter 583 Sister, I Don’t Want to (Part 1)
On the day Xie Pei passed away, the Xie family's mansion was in chaos. The two brothers confronted each other in public, and Xie Anjun even wanted to drive Xie Anbai out. Although this plan failed in the end due to the arrival of Ye Chutang and Shen Yanchuan, it was already an open secret in Beijing that Xie Anjun disliked Xie Anbai. Now that Xie Pei is gone, Xie Anjun has the final say in the Xie family, and Xie Anbai's life will definitely not be easy.
"Rumor has it that the Xie family is planning to split up."
Pop.
Ye Chutang followed suit and raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, saying jokingly, "Ah Yan has never set foot in the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, but he is well-informed."
Ye Jingyan shook his head: "This matter has long been spread among the children of the noble families. It would be difficult for me not to know about it."
In the Imperial College, he had already attracted the admiration of many classmates because of his outstanding talent. In addition, Ye Chutang saved the life of His Majesty, so the status of the Ye family is now much higher than before, and many people came to establish a relationship with Ye Jingyan.
Without him actively asking, the news would easily reach his ears.
Ye Chutang seemed to be thinking about something. He looked at Xiao Wu with a worried look on her face. He smiled and patted her head, comforting her: "Xiao Wu, don't worry too much. Second Young Master Xie is not someone who can be bullied."
Probably because he was busy with Xie Pei's funeral these days, he was heartbroken and didn't bother with Xie Anjun.
However, after these things happen, it is hard to say whether Xie Anbai will still be so easy to talk to.
Ye Chutang had been to the Xie family. From what he saw and heard at that time, it seemed that there was no place for Xie Anbai in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
But what will be the final outcome? Who knows until the end?
Xie Anbai didn’t care about these things in the past, but what about now?
especially……
Thinking of what he and Shen Yanchuan said in a quiet street corner after leaving Xie's house that day, Ye Chutang frowned slightly.
I wonder if Xie Anbai will guess the truth behind his father's death...
It would be fine if he didn't know, but if he had doubts and continued to investigate, more things would definitely be implicated.
Among them, Xie Anjun definitely cannot escape.
"Speaking of which, the attitude of the loyal and brave marquis towards these two sons is really very different." Ye Jingyan continued to make moves, "Even if the second son Xie is a bastard, it seems that this should not be the case."
Ye Chutang said carelessly, "The eldest son is very talented, polite and sensible. It is normal for the Loyal and Brave Marquis to train him as his successor. As for the second son Xie... he is famous in the capital for his unruly ways. Even if it were someone else, I'm afraid it would be difficult for him to be treated well."
Ye Jingyan paused and said, "In my opinion, that may not be the case."
Ye Chutang raised his eyelids and asked with interest: "Oh?"
Ye Jingyan thought for a moment and said, "Second Master Xie is naturally carefree, and his Qinggong is very good. His internal strength is profound. To be able to practice such a set of kung fu requires both outstanding talent and years of hard work. If he is really as dissolute and useless as the rumors say, he would not have such a skill."
Now Ye Chutang was a little surprised. As far as he could remember, A Yan and Xie Anbai didn't seem to have much contact. How did he know all this?
As if seeing her doubt, Ye Jingyan added:
"These are what Afeng said. When we were in Jiangling, Second Young Master Ye came to our clinic for the first time, and Afeng knew about it."
No wonder.
Now it makes sense.
Afeng usually looks careless, but he is extremely careful when encountering such things. He must have figured it out secretly a long time ago.
"So what?"
Xie Anjun was appointed as the crown prince at an early stage, and it was obvious that Xie Pei's mind was devoted to this son.
Now that Xie Pei is dead, Xie Anjun has the final say in the huge marquisate.
Ye Jingyan looked at the chessboard, picked up another black piece, rubbed it gently with his fingertips, and said calmly:
"If it were any other family, it wouldn't matter, but the Xie family is different."
Ye Chutang paused.
Ye Jingyan raised his eyes, met her gaze, and said word by word:
"The Xie family has military power."
The room fell into silence, with only the sound of snow falling outside the window.
Xiaowu looked left and right, a little confused.
——Why didn’t my sister play anymore? Could it be that my sister’s chess skills have become rusty after not playing for a long time?
After a moment, Ye Chutang reminded: "Xie Pei handed over the military power ten years ago."
Ye Jingyan smiled and asked, "Sister, do you really think so?"
Ye Chutang looked at him, feeling a little sad.
"Ayan, you are only fifteen."
At his age, he should be full of youthful vigor, but he should not be so insightful and good at managing state affairs.
Because it was just too tiring.
Ye Jingyan looked out the window and said after a long while:
"But when that heavy snow fell three years ago, my sister was only fourteen."
Ye Chutang's heart moved.
She wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to start.
Ye Jingyan turned his head and looked straight at her, his eyes clear and peaceful.
"Sister always thinks I am still young and I have to take on all the responsibilities by myself. But Sister, I don't want that."
He didn't want to hide behind his elder sister all the time, pretending to spend every day in peace under her protection.
"It's bitterly cold at the northwest frontier. I don't know how Afeng is getting through today."
Even though every word in your previous letters was free and easy, how could life be easy in such a remote and difficult place?
What’s more, guarding the border is difficult and a matter of life and death.
With Afeng's personality, if he got hurt, he would probably not even tell anyone about the pain and would just swallow it all by himself.
"Sister asked me to study at the Imperial College, so I went. After returning to Beijing, there were many dangers, but Sister never told me. I know Sister was doing this for my own good. Even that day, Sister didn't let me enter the Xie family."
Ye Chutang sighed softly.
She really didn't expect that A Yan would care about these things.
After pondering for a long time, Ye Chutang said:
"The capital is full of twists and turns. One word or one thought could lead you into an irretrievable situation. That was what happened to my father back then—"
"I'm not Daddy."
Ye Jingyan shook his head, his tone persistent.
"Sister, can you trust me?"
Ye Chutang picked up a white seed with his fingertips. It had a smooth texture and a slight coolness.
"What?"
Ye Jingyan looked at her and said word by word:
"Trust me, even if the road ahead is difficult, long and obstructed, I will find a way."
The boy's voice still had a unique slight hoarseness, but was extremely firm.
Ye Chutang understood that he had already decided which path he would take.
After a long time, Ye Chutang gave birth to a child.
"The Wazhen delegation will sign a peace agreement today."
Ye Jingyan was stunned at first, but then quickly understood - this meant that his sister was willing to discuss court affairs with him!
This was consistent with what he had guessed.
During this period, his speculation finally got a positive answer.
"The two sides were deadlocked before, but now they suddenly agree. Could it be that..."
He paused, and his voice became a little lighter.
"Is this change related to Xie Pei's death?"
