Chapter 139: Apologize
After Zhou Chengye, Yan Wenxiu and their group returned to the academy, they immediately wanted to see Xiao Yeyang, but unfortunately, they didn't see him, not even Dong Yuanxuan.
After asking around, I found out that the young prince had not returned to the academy yet.
Yan Wenkai wondered, "If he didn't return to the academy, where did the young prince go?"
Zhou Chengye knew more information than the Yan brothers and said, "Maybe he went to the royal palace." When King Rui came to Zhongzhou Province before, he also lived in the palace.
"Um?"
The three brothers of the Yan family looked over together.
Zhou Chengye was confused: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Yan Wenkai was a man who could not keep secrets, and he immediately asked, "Isn't the young prince's residence in the academy?"
Zhou Chengye shook his head. "Of course not. The residence in the academy is just for the convenience of the young prince to study and attend classes nearby. In the past, when he had a day off, the young prince would return to the palace."
Yan Wenkai: "Where is the palace? Why haven't we heard of it?"
Zhou Chengye was surprised: "You don't know?"
The three brothers of the Yan family all shook their heads.
Zhou Chengye thought of the Yan family's situation, so he patiently explained: "The palace is built on the main peak of Wuhua Mountain."
Yan Wenkai was surprised: "Wuhua Mountain, isn't that very close to the academy?"
Zhou Chengye nodded. "Indeed, we are advancing. Wangyue Academy is built on the outer peak of Wuhua Mountain, not far from the main peak. If you take a boat, you can get there in less than half an hour."
Yan Wenkai: "Since we are so close, let's go find the young prince."
Zhou Chengye glanced at him speechlessly. "That's the royal palace, a forbidden area. Entering without being summoned is a capital crime."
Hearing this, Yan Wenkai immediately shrank his neck and said, "Forget it then. We'll see the young prince after he returns to the academy."
Although Zhou Chengye was anxious to apologize, he knew that this was the only way.
The main peak of Wuhua Mountain.
In order to facilitate access and sightseeing, the royal palace was built at the foot of the mountain, and a magnificent villa, Meilin Villa, was also built on the top of the mountain.
Behind the courtyard, the mountain is full of red plum blossoms, ready to bloom.
Under the plum tree, a graceful and beautiful woman with extraordinary beauty was sitting at a stone table, selecting the plum branches she had just picked and preparing to put them into the green porcelain vase that had been prepared on the stone table long ago.
"So, Yang'er is angry this time because the eldest grandson of the Zhou family chose the wrong play?"
There was an undeniable heroic spirit between the beautiful woman's eyebrows, and her tone was lazy, but it was filled with an inviolable majesty.
Two or three meters away, a man in black knelt on one leg, bowing his head respectfully: "Yes."
The beautiful woman smiled, and in an instant, the red plum blossoms on the mountain seemed to lose their color in front of her. "Zhou Zhengyao is a cautious man, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to step down from the position of Prime Minister safely. I think this incident was probably unintentional."
"Forget it. Yang'er doesn't have many playmates here. It's rare that the boy from the Zhou family can catch Yang'er's eye. Let's forget about this matter and don't pursue it further."
Man in black: “Yes.”
The beautiful woman's eyes flickered as she smiled and said, "By the way, tell me about that little girl from the Yan family. Yang'er's temper always comes and goes quickly, but this time when he came back, he locked himself in the room and refused to come out. I think he must have been influenced by that little girl."
The man in black immediately lowered his head and recounted word for word the conversation between the young prince and the young lady from the Yan family that took place in Zhou's mansion that day.
The beautiful woman listened attentively, and when she heard the little girl from the Yan family's opinion on the divorce, a hint of surprise flashed across her beautiful eyes.
"The fault isn't the wife's, but the scumbag father's?"
"Scum?"
The beautiful woman chewed on the word carefully, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up. "That's an apt description. Isn't it just scum?"
Then, a trace of disappointment flashed across the beautiful woman's eyes.
"Alright, go down now. Be sure to protect the little prince! As for the rest, don't worry about it."
"I'll take my leave!"
As soon as the man in black finished speaking, he quickly disappeared from the spot.
The beautiful woman placed the selected plum branches into the vase and waved to the maid: "Go, take it to the palace below."
"Yes!" The maid carefully carried the vase and left.
After the man left, the beautiful woman stood up and looked at the red plum blossoms all over the mountain. She looked a little lonely. No matter how beautiful the scenery was, what was the point of enjoying it alone?
Academy.
Zhou Chengye waited anxiously until the third day when he heard that Xiao Yeyang had returned to the academy. As soon as the get out of class was over, he immediately took Yan Wenxiu to meet him.
"Do you think the young prince will forgive me?" Zhou Chengye was a little uneasy and nervous on the way.
Yan Wenxiu: "Your action was unintentional, and the young prince is not one to dwell on things. Don't worry, it should be fine."
Zhou Chengye was still a little uneasy: "But this time, the little prince didn't come to class for three consecutive days. It's obvious that he was very angry."
Yan Wenxiu's expression shifted, and he asked, "It's just a play, why did the young prince have such a big reaction?"
Zhou Chengye glanced at Yan Wenxiu and said, "Don't ask. Remember this anyway. Never mention divorcing your husband in front of the young prince. Oh, and I have to remind Wen Kai and Wen Tao as well."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yan Wenxiu didn't continue to ask: "Well, I will remind you."
Soon, the two arrived at the yard where Xiao Yeyang lived.
After being informed, the two entered the yard.
Dong Yuanxuan, Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao were all in the yard.
"My young prince, the Zhou family's hospitality was not good enough. I hope you will forgive me."
As soon as he saw Xiao Yeyang, Zhou Chengye immediately stepped forward and bowed to apologize, his tone extremely sincere.
At this moment, Xiao Yeyang's mood had recovered. He glanced at Zhou Chengye indifferently, raised his hand, asked him to get up, and didn't say anything.
Zhou Chengye was a little worried about this and was about to say a few more words when he was stopped by Dong Yuanxuan.
"Since the young prince doesn't want to talk about it anymore, you should stop talking."
Zhou Chengye whispered, "Then has the young prince forgiven me?"
Dong Yuanxuan: "If the young prince still wants to make a fuss, do you think you can still enter this courtyard?"
Hearing this, Zhou Chengye finally felt relieved. Then, he bowed to Dong Yuanxuan and said, "I was reckless that day. Brother Dong was kind enough to remind me, but I didn't understand!"
Dong Yuanxuan smiled and said, "Okay, it's over now, don't think about it anymore."
On the other side, Xiao Yeyang saw Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao with bruised faces and noses, and wondered, "What happened to you two?"
Yan Wenkai said with a bitter face: "Don't mention it. We were beaten by Su Hongxin and his gang these past two days, and the coach stood by and didn't even stop them!"
Xiao Yeyang smiled. Some time ago, these two guys relied on their energy and beat up others during sparring. Now they were getting their retribution.
However, Xiao Yeyang's smile soon faded and he asked in confusion, "That shouldn't be the case. After taking the medicinal bath, your bodies will recover quickly. How could you be beaten?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenkai's face turned bitter: "Why else? Didn't Big Sister give us the herbal medicine bag?"
Xiao Yeyang was puzzled: "Why?"
Yan Wenkai, who spoke quickly, said without hesitation, "It's because you suddenly passed away on Old Master Zhou's birthday. Everyone said it was my eldest sister who offended you. Then when you got home, everyone in the family blamed her. How can we ask her for the herbal medicine bag at this time?"
On the side, Dong Yuanxuan and Yan Wenxiu, after hearing this, winked at Yan Wenkai repeatedly, signaling him to stop talking, while Zhou Chengye lowered his head in embarrassment.
Xiao Yeyang stood up in a flash, looking a little anxious. "I'm going my own way. What does it have to do with Daohua? Why are you blaming her?"
After saying that, he began to walk around quickly for a few times, and then asked again: "Did you scold her?"
Yan Wenxiu repeatedly sent Yan Wenkai a look, asking him to stop talking. Unfortunately, this guy didn't get it. Instead, he said indignantly: "Not only did he curse, he almost hit me!"
After saying this, Yan Wenxiu really wanted to bang his head against the wall.
Does this guy know that family disgrace should not be made public?
Zhou Chengye felt even more guilty. He didn't expect Uncle Yan to be like this. In his family, if Jingwan made a mistake, she would at most be given a verbal warning, and she might be punished by being made to kneel in the ancestral hall. Beating was almost unheard of.
Dong Yuanxuan understood this quite well. The Yan family came from a poor family and had finally managed to marry the young prince, so naturally they wanted to maintain the relationship.
This offended the young prince, so he was naturally anxious.
Xiao Yeyang was anxious: "How can your family do this? Daohua... Daohua is still so young, how can she withstand your beating?"
Yan Wenxiu stepped forward immediately and said, "No, I didn't hit him. I just said a few words."
Yan Wenkai curled his lips. Did he just say a few words?
If my grandmother hadn't stopped him, my father might have taken action!
Xiao Yeyang frowned tightly, remained silent for a moment, and looked at the Yan brothers: "I'm angry because of my own reasons, it has nothing to do with Daohua. You should write a letter home quickly and tell your parents to stop blaming Daohua."
Yan Wenxiu: "Brother Zhou has already clarified this matter."
Xiao Yeyang: "It's his business to clarify, and you have to explain your side as well." He didn't expect that his departure would bring trouble to Daohua.
At this moment, thinking back to what happened at that time, his furious look must have scared her, right?
"What are you standing there for? Go!"
Looking up and seeing Yan Wenxiu and the other two standing still, Xiao Yeyang couldn't help but urge them. Then he thought for a moment and pointed directly at Yan Wenkai, "Go and write it. Explain everything to me clearly."
Yan Wenkai looked at everyone and said, "Oh."
Seeing his confused look, Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "Forget it, I'll just watch you write."
