Chapter 216 Ye Chengyao's Belonging
Although they kept the Ye family's affairs under wraps and didn't let their servants talk about them, there was no such thing as a wall that was impenetrable.
News about Ye Chengyao was spreading again, and it was even more serious than before.
After all, he is now physically disabled and mentally abnormal.
Some people said that he broke into the maid's room at night and tore her clothes to satisfy his sexual desires. Some people said that he abused the servants and beat them up if they were not satisfied. Others said that he screamed miserably in the backyard of the Ye family in the middle of the night, as if he was haunted by some unclean thing.
These rumors spread quickly throughout the city like wildfire.
Although the Ye family tried their best to deny it, the more they tried to cover it up, the more obvious it became.
As for Ye Chengyao, he had become indifferent to everything since he regained consciousness. Family honor, reputation, and respectability were all unimportant. All that mattered was his own happiness.
However, what he didn't know was that a storm against him was quietly brewing.
The reputations of the other two sons of the Ye family were also affected. Ye Chenglei, who was supposed to be married, had completely stopped making any moves. Ye Chengchu's business was also affected. Gu Runci had taken away so much of the family's fortune before, and they all hoped that Ye Chengchu's shop could make the money back as soon as possible.
However, someone made public all of the Ye family's assets, and the people's resentment towards the Ye family was ignited. All of the Ye family's assets began to decline.
These results forced the Ye family to pay attention to Ye Chengyao's problem.
But when the second house negotiated with the first house and asked them to take care of Ye Chengyao, Qin Kerou got angry again and roared.
This time Shang Hongmian did not indulge her, and the two sisters-in-law started arguing.
"The Ye family has lost the Marquis and only has an Earl left. Everyone is behaving like a coward. Can't you control Cheng Yao? You get angry when you mention him. You feel like you've been stabbed when you mention him. Are you happy if the Ye family loses everything? Even if you don't care about our second branch, Cheng Lei is the eldest son of your first branch, don't you care?"
Qin Kerou was so angry that she was shaking all over. She glared at Shang Hongmian and said in a sharp voice, "Do you think I want to see this situation? Do you think I feel good about Cheng Yao becoming like this today?"
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean? Are we gloating over his misfortune? As his mother, how did you educate him? Besides doting on him, what else did you do? Now you want us to shut up just because he said he felt bad. What are you thinking?"
Qin Kerou was choked by Shang Hongmian's words, her face turned pale and blue. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything for a long time.
The atmosphere was deadlocked for a moment, and the two women stared at each other, their eyes full of anger and unwillingness.
In the end, it was Qin Kerou who was the first to give in. She sighed and softened her tone, "I know I'm also wrong, but it's useless to say these things now. This is Cheng Yao's situation. Do you have any better ideas?"
Shang Hongmian calmed down after hearing this. She knew that arguing now would not solve any problems.
At this time, Ye Chi said, "Brother, sister-in-law, have you ever thought about sending Cheng Yao to the manor to recuperate for a while?"
Ye Chi's words silenced everyone in the Ye family's main house. They knew that Ye Chengyao's current situation was no longer suitable for him to stay in Dizhou City, let alone the Ye family.
Sending him to Zhuangzi, although it sounds like exile, can at least keep him away from the rumors and give him time to calm down and adjust his mentality.
After all, the Ye family really can't afford to make trouble anymore.
Ye Cheng felt complicated. He knew that his second brother was doing this for their own good and for the good of the Ye family.
Pan, who had never said a word and witnessed the quarrel between her two daughters-in-law, was powerless to change anything.
Now the children are grown up and have their own ideas.
Ye Chengyao has been really exhausting lately.
"Okay, let's send him to the farm." Ye Cheng finally nodded with a firm tone.
Although Qin Kerou was unwilling, she also knew that this was the best solution at the moment.
She closed her eyes and finally did not object.
She also hopes that Ye Chengyao can change on Zhuangzi and find himself again.
As a result, the Ye family began to make intensive preparations to send Ye Chengyao to the manor. However, Ye Chengyao himself was completely unaware of all this.
The next morning, the Ye family had already started packing. Qin Kerou was afraid that her son would not have a good life after going to the farm, so she tried to bring him as many things as possible that he was used to.
After seeing this, Ye Cheng kept sighing and said that Ye Chengyao went there to recuperate, not to enjoy himself.
But Qin Kerou refused to accept it. She had no way to keep her son by her side and she absolutely could not treat her son unfairly in these matters.
As for the servants, she followed the advice of the second wife and did not assign any women.
After all, with Ye Chengyao's current reputation, if another life were to be lost on the farm, it would definitely attract attention.
Qin Kerou arranged several loyal servants to accompany and take care of Ye Chengyao.
These servants just felt that they were unlucky, and the eldest lady didn't even increase their monthly salary.
Ye Chenglei was worried about his younger brother, so he came to Ye Chengyao's yard and saw him sitting there dejectedly, with no spirit in his eyes. He just stared at the servants packing up their things, and he felt mixed emotions.
He walked over to Ye Chengyao and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, when you get to the farm, you must take good care of yourself, understand?"
Ye Chengyao raised his head and looked at Ye Chenglei with an awkward smile: "Brother, I'm leaving the Ye family and won't cause you any trouble. Are you happy?"
Ye Chenglei was stunned. What did his brother mean by this? Was he blaming them?
His eyes were full of worry: "Brother, I know you feel bad, but you also have to think about the Ye family, think about father and mother. You can't keep going like this."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chengyao's smile faded a little. He turned away, lowered his head, and remained silent.
Ye Chenglei softened his heart again and continued, "Brother, I know you have resentment in your heart, but you also have to understand that all of this is caused by you. You can't keep blaming others."
Ye Chengyao raised his head and looked at Ye Chenglei, a trace of anger flashing in his eyes: "Brother, do you think I want to be like this today? Do you think I feel good? It's all those bitches who hurt me. Not only can you not help me, you also want to kick me out of the Ye family!"
This topic has fallen through.
Ye Chenglei couldn't believe that the conversation between him and his brother would turn out like this.
In a fit of anger, he left immediately.
When Ye Chengyao actually left, he didn't even go to see him off.
After Qin Kerou came back, she kept crying. This was something she, as a mother, really couldn't accept.
Ye Cheng tried to comfort her a few times, but finding it had no effect, he just let her cry.
The people from the second house were satisfied with this, said a few words briefly, and then went back.
But before the Ye family could truly rest assured, the people escorting Ye Chengyao came back in a panic, reporting that Ye Chengyao had escaped and they couldn't find him...
