Chapter 58: Meeting the Rival



Ye family.

Ye Xingchen did not go out for a few days after he came back to life. People outside said that Ye Xingchen regretted the divorce, and some even said that Ye Xingchen cried, made a fuss, and even hanged himself to go on a hunger strike all day long.

How could they know that Ye Xingchen and the Ye family were enjoying a feast of fish and meat.

Ye's mother cooks different kinds of delicious food every day, saying that she wants to nourish her daughter.

Faced with his mother's enthusiasm, Ye Xingchen couldn't refuse, and he gained two pounds of weight in a few days.

The other members of the Ye family were not busy and all stayed with Ye Xingchen.

Ye Xingchen used to be alone, but now he is cared for by a whole family. It feels so good.

That day, a young eunuch from the palace suddenly came to deliver an order: "Empress Xuan has ordered that Ye Xingchen be allowed to enter the palace to attend the chrysanthemum viewing banquet in five days."

Ye Xingchen frowned: "I'm not interested."

The young eunuch's face turned cold: "Miss Ye, are you trying to disobey the order?"

The guards following behind him were ready to draw their swords. It seemed as if they would kill Ye Xingchen directly if she didn't leave.

"Why should my sister go just because Concubine Xuan wants her to go?" Ye Xiaosha retorted.

Boss Ye glared at Ye Xiaosa and immediately tried to smooth things over: "Eunuch, your situation is serious. My sister has just woken up and her brain isn't working very well yet. Don't be offended." Then he took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into the young eunuch's pocket.

The young eunuch's expression finally eased: "I am also acting on orders. Miss Ye must be there when the time comes." After saying that, he turned and left.

"That damn eunuch, you bastard, actually came to the Ye family to show off your power. Concubine Xuan is Prince Mo's mother, and it's obvious that he wants to make things difficult for Xingchen." Ye Xiaosha said angrily.

"You can see it, can't I? It's just that we don't need to confront them head-on. When the time comes, we can just say that Xingchen is not feeling well and shirk the responsibility.

It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain. If this lackey goes back and exaggerates a few words, Concubine Xuan will definitely believe it, and then it will be our Ye family that will be in trouble. " Boss Ye sighed.

"The boss is right. Concubine Xuan is holding a grudge against our Ye family." Ye's mother also looked worried.

"Then I will resign from my post, and our family will retire to the mountains. Anyway, the Ye family's wealth is enough for us to spend for several lifetimes. As long as you guys are safe and sound, that's enough." Ye's father sighed.

"I agree." Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao San echoed.

Seeing his family so concerned and worried about him, Ye Xingchen was very touched: "Mom, Dad, brothers, thank you. It's just a chrysanthemum banquet. I'll go. It's not certain who will take care of whom."

"Xingchen, don't be silly. This is obviously a Hongmen Banquet." Ye's mother said worriedly.

"Don't worry, mother. I can even deal with evil spirits, so why can't I deal with a few people? This matter was planned by King Mo in the first place, so why should we give in?

What's more, even if my father resigned and our family retired to the mountains, they would not let us go and would definitely send someone to assassinate us.

Rather than waiting to die, it is better to fight back when the enemy comes, our Ye family is not easy to bully. "Ye Xingchen replied domineeringly.

"My daughter is right. We are not afraid of her. If she dares to hurt Xingchen, my Ye family will never give up! I have some friendship with the general's wife. I will go and ask her. If she also goes to the chrysanthemum viewing banquet, I will ask her to take care of her then." Ye's mother said domineeringly and went to find someone immediately.

When the others thought this made sense, they all went to look for help. Ye Xingchen originally wanted to say no, but in the blink of an eye, all his family members were gone.

Only Ye Xiaosha was left. He walked around Ye Xingchen a few times and said, "Although I don't know you, young lady, your outfit is too shabby. Come on, let me take you to buy some clothes." After saying that, he pulled Ye Xingchen away.

Yunshang Pavilion.

"Xingchen, this is the largest women's store in Cangyue Country. All clothing, jewelry, rouge and powder can be bought here. You can pick whatever you want. Today, Fifth Brother will spend money for you.

Since we are going to the Chrysanthemum Appreciation Banquet, let's beat the other women and let that bastard Cang Tingchen see how well my sister is doing after the divorce." Ye Xiaosha said generously.

Ye Xingchen felt warm in his heart. Isn't Yunshang Pavilion a shop jointly opened by the Crown Prince's Consort and Prince Chen of the Great Yan Kingdom? It contains the most popular things from the four countries.

"Since Fifth Brother said so, I won't be polite." Ye Xingchen walked straight in.

When everyone saw her coming, they all stepped back and pointed at her as if they had seen a plague.

Ye Xingchen didn't care at all. She looked around inside and walked to the back of the store. She remembered that the storybook said that Yunshang Pavilion was divided into two areas, the front was the affordable area and the back was the luxury area.

Ye Xingchen walked straight inside and saw an exquisite hairpin. The kingfisher carved on it was lifelike, especially its feathers, which were actually embellished with real kingfisher feathers, which was very special.

Ye Xingchen reached out and picked it up, looked into the kingfisher's eyes, and frowned slightly.

"Boss, pack this hairpin for my young lady!" a strong voice came.

When Ye Xingchen turned around, she saw a maid staring at the hairpin in her hand and speaking in a domineering manner.

"This hairpin was first picked out by my young lady. Please return it to me, Princess Mo, oh no, Miss Ye." The maid didn't take Ye Xingchen seriously at all.

If it weren't for Ye Xingchen, her young lady would have become Prince Mo's princess long ago, so the maid was very hostile to Ye Xingchen.

Before Ye Xingchen could answer, Ye Xiaosha couldn't stand it anymore: "How can you talk like that, maid? Whoever gets it first owns it. This hairpin was obtained by my Xingchen, so it belongs to us."

"Everything is based on first come, first served. It was obviously my young lady who saw it first." The maid said unconvinced.

"Have you paid yet? If you haven't paid, it doesn't belong to you. Xingchen, let's buy this hairpin today." Ye Xiaosha did not give in at all.

"If Miss Ye likes it, I'll give this hairpin to you." A gentle voice came.

Only then did Ye Xingchen notice the woman in pink who was a few steps away. The woman had long and slender eyebrows, a high nose bridge, phoenix eyes, red lips and white teeth. She spoke in a soft and gentle voice, and had a slender and graceful figure. She was a real beauty.

This woman is none other than Jing family's legitimate daughter, Jing Yan'er, who is also the one that Concubine Xuan has her eyes on.

Jing Yaner said considerately. In fact, she was also a little surprised when she saw Ye Xingchen just now.

She had just divorced Prince Mo and had just come back to life, yet she still dared to go out shopping. She was quite courageous.

As soon as Ye Xiaosha saw the beautiful woman, his eyes lit up immediately, and there was no trace of his arrogance just now.

Ye Xingchen rolled his eyes at him and said, "You're making it sound like I'm being unreasonable and forcing you to take what you like. It's just a hairpin. I'll give it to you if you want it." Then he handed the hairpin over.

Jing Yan'er froze. This was not like Ye Xingchen's style. Normally, she would spend a lot of money to buy anything she saw, even if she didn't need that thing at all. She would just call it having money to burn.

Why did she change her personality today?
