Chapter 26 Shameless people are invincible
The next day, Nie Chubai came to the Wen Mansion and went to pick up Wen Yingxue to eat beef as he had said.
"You don't have to be like this. I was just saying it casually yesterday." Wen Yingxue said to Nie Chubai while sitting in the carriage. She remembered that eating beef seemed to be illegal in ancient times.
Nie Chubai looked at Wen Yingxue, who kept her head down and refused to meet his eyes. A hint of sadness flashed in his eyes, but was then replaced by determination.
"It's okay. I told you that you can have whatever you want." Nie Chubai said with a serious look in his eyes.
Wen Yingxue took a deep breath, looked up at Nie Chubai, and said provocatively, "I want to be the queen, is that okay?"
Nie Chubai sat up straight, squinting his eyes at Wen Yingxue. After a moment, he forced a bright smile and said, "Of course!"
Nie Chubai's eyes were frighteningly serious, with a bright light flashing in them. Wen Yingxue was shocked, she knew that Nie Chubai was serious about what he said.
If Nie Chubai really wanted to be the emperor, the world would have a new master within three days. Wen Yingxue knew and believed that he had the ability to do so.
"I'm just kidding. What's so good about being a queen? You have to share a man with so many women. I don't want to be a queen."
"No matter who I am, I can only have you." Nie Chubai said.
Wen Yingxue lowered her head and stopped talking.
Looking at Wen Yingxue who was acting like an ostrich again, Nie Chubai gritted his teeth.
The carriage stopped soon. Wen Yingxue followed Nie Chubai out of the carriage and came to the door of a store. The sign was written in traditional Chinese characters, which Wen Yingxue did not recognize.
But seeing that there are a lot of people coming and going, and they are all riding in luxurious carriages, it should be quite impressive.
"General Nie is here? Please come in." As soon as Nie Chubai entered the door, the shopkeeper came over to greet him personally.
Nie Chubai and Wen Yingxue were ushered up to the second floor. The shopkeeper said, "General Nie, you've arrived at the right time. There's a private room on the second floor. It's right at the back."
As the three of them were walking, the door of the private room opposite the empty room suddenly opened, and four or five middle-aged men came out one after another.
When the two groups met, they were both stunned.
"General Nie?"
These people were all ministers in the court, and they all knew Nie Chubai.
Nie Chubai nodded at them, his eyes fell on the last person who came out, and his eyes instantly turned cold.
A middle-aged man noticed Nie Chubai's gaze and introduced him, "This is Lord Ye. He has been away from the capital for many years and just returned a few days ago."
Lord Ye? Isn't that Nie Chubai's father? Wen Yingxue thought about it and went to see the legendary Lord Ye.
How to say it, Wen Yingxue was a little disappointed. Lord Ye looked good, and Nie Chubai looked about three or four points like him.
He was already in his forties, yet he still dressed elegantly and looked respectable. However, his eyes were dim, his face was pale with a bluish hue, and he looked like his body was hollowed out.
Lord Ye and Nie Chubai looked at each other. Lord Ye's expression changed and he looked at Nie Chubai carefully, as if he was recalling something.
Several ministers looked at Nie Chubai and Lord Ye, and finally realized that something was wrong, but they did not interrupt.
"Old Huang, you guys go back first. I haven't been in the capital for a long time and haven't met General Nie yet. It's a good opportunity for us to meet today." said Lord Ye.
"Oh! Okay." Lord Huang said with a smile, then left with his men.
Nie Chubai sneered and said, "Lord Ye, please."
Lord Ye nodded arrogantly, glanced at Nie Chubai with satisfaction, then turned his gaze to Wen Yingxue, his eyes suddenly lighting up.
Wen Yingxue immediately felt a chill run down her spine, goosebumps forming all over her skin. Nie Chubai's father was truly disgusting. She had no idea what Nie Yulian saw in him.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Nie Chubai's eyes, but was then buried in his eyes. He blocked Wen Yingxue behind him, stretched out his hand to Lord Ye, and made an invitation gesture.
Lord Ye withdrew his gaze somewhat awkwardly, and then was the first to enter the private room.
Lord Ye sat in the main seat, and Nie Chubai chose a seat two or three seats away from him. Wen Yingxue didn't want to be seen by Lord Ye anymore, so she sat down next to Nie Chubai.
"You are my son, right? I remember you. Lian'er seemed to have brought you to see me." Lord Ye asked.
Wen Yingxue could see clearly that Nie Chubai's hands were clenched tightly together, and his knuckles were white.
"Oh? Really?" Nie Chubai looked up at Lord Ye and said with a friendly smile.
Lord Ye's eyes lit up with joy, and he said, "Of course, although Dad couldn't take you back at the beginning, he still missed you in his heart. Now that you are valued by the Emperor and have become a second-rank general at such a young age, Dad is happy for you."
Nie Chubai continued to smile, and his friendly smile was mixed with a little gratitude.
Wen Yingxue felt uneasy. It was over. The villain was laughing so happily today. Lord Ye would probably be in big trouble today.
"Now that you're grown up, and since your father has met you, he has decided to let you return to the Marquis' Mansion. From now on, you will be the second son of the Marquis' Mansion." Lord Ye continued, looking at Nie Chubai's smile.
Bah! How shameless! Back then, an orphan and a widow came to you for help, only to be beaten out by you and your wife. Now that Nie Chubai has made it big, you want him to recognize his ancestral roots. Wen Yingxue was almost laughing out of anger.
"Oh? Going back to the Marquis' Mansion?" Nie Chubai asked.
Lord Ye nodded. Today, the Pingyuan Marquisate is no longer what it used to be. If the next generation does not make any achievements, their family's hereditary title will be gone.
Nie Chubai is a military general. If he can achieve great success on the battlefield in the future, it will be considered a contribution to their Ye family, and his title should be preserved for several more generations.
Nie Chubai continued with a gentle smile, "Since you want me to return to my ancestral home, what should my mother do?"
Marquis Ye smiled and said, "Lian'er gave birth to you, so she should be well taken care of. She should be brought into the Marquis's mansion and become a concubine, or even a noble concubine!"
The smile on Nie Chubai's face finally disappeared. He looked at Lord Ye with cold eyes and said word by word, "Is that so? What a pity! My mother was driven out of the house by you. She was seriously injured and has passed away. She can no longer be your concubine."
Lord Ye's confident expression finally cracked. He looked at Nie Chubai in disbelief and asked stutteringly, "Dead?"
"Yes, he passed away in my arms, and his last words were that he should never return to his roots."
Lord Ye frowned, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes, but he pretended to be sad and said, "Is it really like this? I am sorry for your mother and sorry for you, but don't worry, I will welcome her tablet into the mansion and will never let her be without incense and offerings.
"However, your mother is a woman, how can you listen to her? She hates me, and I deserve it, but we are father and son after all, and blood is thicker than water. You should recognize your ancestors and return to your roots."
After hearing what Lord Ye said, Wen Yingxue wanted to spit in his face. He was such a shameless man.
Nie Chubai looked deeply at Lord Ye, trying to find a trace of grief and regret for Nie Yulian's death on his face, but he found none. He only saw calculation on this face.
