Ye Qingyue leaned against the wall, his eyes blank and dazed. On his left cheek, the mark of a slap was clearly visible and swollen, which showed how angry Ye's mother was at the time and how much strength she used.
She had thought her mother would object to her being with Shen Ci, but she had never thought her opposition would be so intense.
Ah Ci, what should I do?
How can we be together smoothly?
She had told Shen Ci that she would confess to her parents after she passed the imperial examination. Shen Ci must be waiting for news from her, but she was now imprisoned, not even the lotus seed was allowed in. How could she meet Shen Ci, and how could she tell him the result?
Ye Qingyue didn't know how long he was locked in the woodshed. He only knew that the ray of light gradually disappeared and the woodshed became darker and darker.
She felt a pang of hunger in her stomach, but she ignored it.
She was still leaning against the wall, her eyes blank, her cheeks without medicine still swollen, looking horrible.
Ye Fulang secretly opened the door of the woodshed. As soon as he came in, he saw this scene and his heart ached.
"Sister Yue." Ye Fulang put down the food box in his hand and walked quickly to Ye Qingyue.
When Ye Qingyue saw the person coming, his eyes lit up and he called out "Dad" with a choked voice.
Ye Fulang held Ye Qingyue in his arms and couldn't help crying.
He reached out to touch Ye Qingyue's face, but was afraid of hurting her.
"It must be very painful, your mother too. How could she be so harsh?" Ye Fulang hurriedly took out a small porcelain bottle filled with ointment.
"Come, Dad will help you apply the medicine."
Ye Qingyue obediently let Ye Fulang apply medicine on her. Her face was already swollen and purple, and she needed to rub the medicine hard to open it up.
Of course it will hurt if you rub it.
Ye Qingyue bit her lip, trying not to scream out loud.
After applying the medicine, Ye Fulang brought the lunch box over and opened it: "You must be hungry, come and eat."
Ye Qingyue did not refuse.
It hurt when his cheek was pulled, so Ye Qingyue could only chew slowly in small bites.
While eating, she paused, looked up at Mr. Ye, and asked dumbly, "Dad, do you also think that I shouldn't be with Shen Ci, but with Cao Cheng?"
Ye Fulang shook his head, his eyes confused, and whispered, "I don't know either." As Ye Ying's bedside companion for more than ten years, he understood Ye Ying's obsession, helplessness and grief best.
But he also knew that Ye Qingyue had endured too much over the years.
He hoped that Ye Ying and Ye Qingyue would be happy, but he didn't know how to do it.
After weighing it in his mind, he stroked Ye Qingyue's hair and said gently, "But Daddy hopes you can be happy. Daddy will help you."
Ye Qingyue raised the corners of his lips and choked up, "Thank you, Daddy."
"Eat quickly."
After all, Ye Ying is the head of the Ye family. Mr. Ye came here secretly, and he couldn't take Ye Qingyue out. He could only let Ye Qingyue stay here while he went to talk to Ye Ying again.
After Ye Qingyue finished his meal, Ye Fulang left with the lunch box.
The woodshed fell into silence again. Ye Qingyue put on the quilt that Ye Fulang had brought over, resting his chin on his knees with a firm gaze.
A Ci, wait for me, I will definitely find a way to convince mother.
-
"Did you go to see her?" When Ye Fulang came back, he met Ye Ying with a gloomy face.
"Yes." Ye Fulang did not hide it. "Do you really want her to starve to death or freeze to death in the woodshed?"
Ye Ying remained silent.
Ye Fulang considered his words carefully and said, "My dear wife, Sister Yue and Shen Ci..."
