Chapter 86 Re-examination (Second Update)
Ye Chutang shook his head gently, and said in a gentle voice: "Second Uncle is devoted to me. He only said that he would choose it himself, but the details... have not been decided yet."
The eldest princess snorted and laughed: "So, he really cares about you."
Ye Heng has a daughter, and her reputation for beauty has long spread throughout the capital. When many people mention the Ye family, they all know that they have a beautiful daughter.
It’s easy to imagine that the Ye family must have done a lot behind this.
Ye Heng did not hold a high position in the government before, but now he has finally been promoted to the position of Junior Official of the Dali Temple. He strives to send his daughter to the Chaohua Banquet. Anyone with a discerning eye can see exactly what he is thinking.
He simply wanted to marry his daughter into a wealthy family and ensure that she would live a life of wealth and glory.
Now that his own daughter is still unmarried, how can he think of Ye Chutang?
If he truly loved his niece, he would not have occupied his own brother's house and refused to leave, making Ye Chutang and the others feel like dependents!
Princess Qinyang sneered: "He'll pick for you? What good can he pick out?"
With her status and position, she is indeed qualified to look down on Ye Heng.
Ye Chutang didn't seem to care: "My father and brother are both gone, and I have been away for the past three years. It's normal that it's difficult for me to get married. I don't want to let my second uncle down."
Princess Qinyang simply couldn't bear to listen: "Are you kidding me? Are you afraid you can't find a good family?"
Her appearance and demeanor alone are enough to outdo countless noble ladies in the capital, not to mention her excellent medical skills!
Ye Chutang shook his head: "It's not this that I care about, but Ayan, Afeng and Xiaowu, they are still children after all."
The eldest princess looked at Ye Chutang. She was clearly only a seventeen-year-old girl, but she was calm and composed beyond her age.
I don't know how much suffering he had endured in the past to have developed such a magnanimous character.
She patted Ye Chutang's hand, her brows relaxed, and said with a smile: "Marriage is a major event in life, and you can't rush it. You have just returned to the capital, so why not spend more time to go around and have fun. Don't worry, I am here, and I will find a good marriage for you in the future."
These words carry a lot of weight.
The eldest princess is of noble status. If she is willing to arrange a marriage for Ye Chutang, there will be countless wealthy families lining up to wait for her.
With the support of the eldest princess, Ye Chutang naturally felt more confident.
No matter how picky Ye Heng is, can he be better than the eldest princess?
Ye Chutang blinked his eyelashes slightly, curled up the corners of his lips, knelt down and saluted, his long eyelashes casting a faint shadow under his eyes.
"Thank you, Princess."
The princess smiled and said, "You saved my life, so you don't need to be polite here. By the way, there will be a polo match in the palace next month. How about you come and join in the fun?"
…
Dali Temple.
Ye Heng sat behind the desk with an opened file at hand.
There have been a lot of cases recently, and he is a new official in office. He is eager to make some achievements, so he spends most of his time on this.
However, as he watched, his eyelids gradually became heavy and his consciousness gradually drifted away.
The words in front of my eyes seemed to shake, making me dizzy.
"Master Ye? Master Ye?"
Someone next to him called him several times, and Ye Heng suddenly tilted his head and almost fell off the chair.
He hurriedly grabbed the armrest of the chair, shook his head and looked up.
Seeing the person coming, he shuddered and stood up quickly:
"Master Su, why are you here?"
The person who came was Su Wei, the Minister of Dali Temple.
Su Wei looked at him for a few times and frowned slightly: "Master Ye, have you not slept well these days?"
This was not the first time Ye Heng fell asleep while reading files.
Su Wei didn’t pay much attention to the previous two times, but the frequency this time was really a bit high, and he was already very dissatisfied.
Ye Heng knew what he meant, and said with a look of shame: "Please forgive me, Lord Su. I just felt a little sleepy all of a sudden, so... Don't worry, I will finish reviewing this file as soon as possible!"
Su Wei said, "No need, you can let others do it. Go home early today and have a good rest."
Ye Heng's heart sank, and finally he could only say: "...Yes."
When walking out, many colleagues cast various looks at him, making Ye Heng feel uneasy.
Faintly, you can hear some low discussions.
"He left early again today?"
"It's Lord Su's idea. Who can stand sitting here and sleeping without working?"
"He wasn't like this before. I don't know what's going on..."
"Haven't you heard? There's been a lot of weird things happening in the Ye family lately!"
Ye Heng quickened his pace and left quickly with a sullen face.
There has been really nothing happy happening recently!
Gao was ill and the red rashes on her face and body did not fade for a long time. He felt scared every time he looked at them.
Ye Shixian attended the Chaohua Banquet, hoping that she would show off her charm and outshine all the other beauties. However, she fell into the lake and lost all her face.
But what bothered him the most was Ye Mingze.
He was actually called by the chief priest to go home... He has been laughed at to death these days!
There are so many young men in the Imperial College, but it is only Ye Heng’s son who has caused such a big disaster!
What's more, because of this incident, rumors that Ye Mingze was ill became more and more intense.
And himself! I don’t know what’s wrong with me lately, I always feel sleepy, it’s hard to concentrate when I’m working, and my efficiency is low.
If this continues...
Ye Heng shuddered.
Could it be...that there really is something wrong with that house?
"Master Ye!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice broke Ye Heng's thoughts and he looked back.
"Master Han? Why are you here?"
Han Tong smiled and said, "The polo match is about to start, and the palace banquet is very busy preparing."
Ye Heng understood: "So that's it."
The current emperor conquered his empire on horseback, so at this time of year, a polo match is organized in the palace, and the princes and many young men from aristocratic families will take to the field to compete.
Grand and lively.
Ye Heng said: "No wonder you have been so busy lately. I haven't seen you much."
Han Tong laughed: "I want to see you!"
"What?" Ye Heng was a little surprised. "You... have something to ask me?"
Han Tong looked around, then lowered his voice and said with a smile: "Hey, it's all because of that boy from our family! He's fallen in love with a girl recently and has been urging her to come back!"
"oh?"
Han Yao and Ye Mingze always hang out together. Ye Heng knows very well that he is a playboy who hates the talk of getting married and having children. Why has he suddenly changed his ways now?
Han Tong laughed at him.
"Actually, you also know this person, Lord Ye—it's your niece, Ye Chutang!"
…
Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
The night is dark and the moon is above the willows.
The candlelight flickered gently, outlining a cold figure.
Lian Zhou bowed his head and said, "Sir, the three files on General Huo's case are all here."
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyes and glanced at the three files that were supposed to be sealed in the Dali Temple.
Lian Zhou hesitated for a while, but couldn't help asking:
"This case has been reviewed by the three courts and has been concluded and closed. Do you...really want to re-investigate it?"
My kids have to go to the hospital early tomorrow morning, so it might be very late before they can go home. Don't wait.
