Chapter 96: What is more important?
Ye Yunfeng frowned when he heard the name: "What is he doing here? To see Ye Mingze?"
Ever since he was driven back to the province by the Lord Chief Priest, none of Ye Mingze's former good friends have come to visit him.
On the one hand, it's embarrassing, on the other hand...recently, rumors about Ye Mingze having mental problems have intensified.
Many people privately said that he had been mentally unstable since the last time he encountered a ghost in the middle of the night, and had become irritable and crazy.
Otherwise, why would he do those things in the Imperial College for no reason, and why would he be sent home by the Lord Chief Academician?
Three people make a tiger. Even if Ye Mingze is healthy, he will become sick.
Ye Jingyan paused: "Probably, but I saw that he brought a lot of gifts this time, and he seemed to be very serious."
Ye Yunfeng didn't care: "Gift? It must be for Ye Mingze!"
He snorted and laughed: "However, no matter how good his gift is, I'm afraid it can't cure Ye Mingze's illness!"
Ye Chutang stood up and took out a new lilac dress for Xiaowu from the cupboard.
"Xiaowu, are you wearing this today?"
Xiaowu's eyes sparkled and he nodded repeatedly.
——It looks good! The one my sister helped her choose is indeed the best!
Ye Chutang then instructed the two brothers: "You should also prepare, today——"
Before he finished speaking, Shaoyao hurriedly came from outside the courtyard and said loudly, "Second Miss, the master asks you to go to the front hall."
Ye Chutang raised his eyes and asked, "Second Uncle wants me to come over now, what's the matter?"
Shaoyao covered her lips and smiled: "Of course it's a good thing, you will know when you go there!"
Before, when she looked at Ye Chutang and his siblings, she always raised her eyebrows and looked down upon them, never giving them a good look. But today, she couldn't hide her smile.
But that smile just seemed wrong no matter how I looked at it.
Ye Jingyan suddenly remembered something—Han Yao seemed to be in the front hall right now?
His brows slowly furrowed.
After Shaoyao finished speaking, she turned around and prepared to take everyone away, but Ye Chutang stood where he was, with no intention of leaving with her.
"It's really unfortunate. I have something important to do right now and can't spare the time. Go back and tell Second Uncle first. I'll go find him when I'm done."
Shaoyao's face changed, and she couldn't help but say sarcastically: "What important matter could the Second Miss have that is more important than the Master's matter?"
Ye Chutang curled his lips and said, "It's not a big deal. I just need to take Ah Yan, Ah Feng and Xiao Wu to the Xu Mansion."
Shaoyao's expression froze.
Xu Fu, could it be the Left Censor-in-Chief Xu Fengchi?
Actually, his official position is higher than Ye Heng's...
"This matter has already been agreed upon before. If we break the appointment at the last minute, people will probably think that my Ye family has been impolite." Ye Chutang said slowly.
Shaoyao moved her lips, but for a moment she couldn't think of any excuse to refute.
She couldn't think of a way to deal with it, so she pursed her lips and hurried away.
Ye Yunfeng glanced at Shaoyao's back as she left angrily, then turned back to look at his sister.
"Sister, you knew Han Yao would come today, so you decided to visit Uncle Xu today?"
Ye Chutang glanced at him and said, "I'm not that boring."
Just a Han Yao, not worth her time and effort.
Ye Jingyan still felt something was wrong: "Han Yao is here, so the person who should go should be Ye Mingze, or at worst Ye Shixian, so it can't be my sister's turn, right?"
Ye Chutang changed Xiaowu's clothes, combed Xiaowu's hair with a wooden comb, and tied it up with a ribbon.
Yuxue is so adorable, just like a little baby who walked out of a New Year picture.
Ye Chutang clapped his hands with great satisfaction.
"Okay, that's it."
After three years, her skills in this area have improved by leaps and bounds, and she can now ensure that Xiaowu's hair will no longer be scattered into a messy bird's nest.
She pinched Xiaowu's chubby face and replied without raising her head: "Let him do whatever he wants - as for whether it can be successful, that is another matter."
Xiaowu threw himself into her arms and rubbed her shoulder.
Ye Chutang scratched her nose.
"Walk."
…
Here, Shaoyao returned to the front hall.
Ye Heng was stunned: "She plans to go to Xu's house today?"
"Yes." Shaoyao quickly glanced at Han Yao who was sitting next to her, "The Second Miss said that this matter is more important."
There was a flash of displeasure in Han Yao's eyes.
He came all the way to the house with gifts, but didn't even see anyone. What was going on?
Ye Shixian looked at his expression and smiled to smooth things over: "My cousin and Lord Xu's family do have a lot of interactions. This is really a coincidence."
No matter how dissatisfied Han Yao was, he couldn't say anything. Who made him unable to afford to offend the Xu family?
He forced a smile and tried to save his dignity: "I didn't think it through. It came too suddenly. I remember that at the last banquet, Lord Xu mentioned inviting her to the Xu Mansion as a guest, but I didn't expect it to be today."
He stood up and bowed to Ye Heng: "In that case, I won't bother you any more."
Ye Heng frowned.
In fact, he knew that Han Yao was coming here today, and he wanted to sit down and have a good talk about what would happen next, but who knew that Ye Chutang would actually -
Now that he's not here, there's no point in saying more.
Ye Shixian smiled apologetically: "I'm so sorry to have made Mr. Han make such a wasted trip."
Thinking of that gentle and beautiful face, Han Yao suppressed his anger.
"How could that be? I treat Miss Ye Er sincerely, so what's wrong with coming a few more times? If she is not convenient today, I will come another day!"
Ye Shixian showed a bit of envy on her face, and sighed softly: "Mr. Han's sincere heart is really rare. My cousin is really lucky that so many people treat her so sincerely."
Han Yao was about to leave when he heard the voice and turned to look over. He was surprised and asked, "What did you say?"
Ye Shixian's eyes flickered and she smiled softly.
"Isn't it? Since she returned to Beijing, many people have come to her aid. Every time I see them, I can't help but feel envious."
Han Yao frowned tightly.
How does this sound...
Ye Shixian smiled and covered her lips: "I heard that even today she went to the Xu Mansion because the young master of the Xu family invited her several times in a row."
Han Yao immediately responded: "Xu Rongqing?"
…
When Ye Chutang and his party arrived at Xu's residence, the butler was already waiting at the door.
Seeing them coming, an eager smile immediately appeared on the butler's face.
"Miss Ye Er, you are finally here! The master and the young master have been waiting for a while!"
Ye Chutang raised his eyes and glanced at the door lintel of Xu's residence.
As far as I can remember, the original owner had only been here once since coming to the capital.
Moreover, three years have passed, things and people have changed. The attitudes of these housekeepers and servants are enough to prove the attitude of the entire Xu Mansion.
A familiar voice came——
"Sister Chutang?"
Everyone turned around and was surprised to see Xu Rongqing coming out in person to pick them up.
A faint smile appeared on Ye Chutang's lips.
"Mr. Xu."
