Chapter 53
"My father was joking. My daughter was the flesh that fell from her mother, so how could she not look like her mother at all?" Ye Kui had a faint smile on her lips, and she was neither intimate nor too alienated.
Ye Chongwen stood behind the desk with his pen in his hand, staring at the letter on the desk.
——How many times have I hurt the past?
After watching for a while, a heavy ink bead gradually condensed from the tip of the pen, falling down with a "click", defiling the newly written word.
Ye Chongwen didn't blink, and he kneaded the paper into a ball and threw it on the ground beside him. Then he put down his pen and looked at Ye Kui and said, "I heard that you hit your fifth sister last night?"
Ye Kui looked at him and nodded, "Yes."
"Yes?" Ye Chongwen gradually became displeased, "Why did you do it? Is your mother teaching you this way?"
When Ye Kui saw that he mentioned Xiao Yunniang from time to time, she snorted in her heart. But how could she not use such a good emotional card? Since Ye Chongwen took the initiative to mention it, she naturally had to continue.
"Did my father forget that my mother was no longer alive when I was seven years old."
Ye Chongwen seemed to have become melancholy when he heard this, and said with a sigh: "I know you grew up in the countryside and have different styles of doing things. Now that I'm home, I think I feel so uncomfortable. But you have to understand that Mingwan is your sister, and like Xiaoshu, they are your relatives."
Relatives?
Still the same as Xiaoshu?
Ye Kui didn't know whether Ye Chongwen was really naive or wanted to be a kind father for too long, so she seemed to be confused now. She was wandering away when she was under one year old. Her mother passed away, and her daughter, who grew up with her siblings, said that the youngest daughter in the family who was held in his hand was a relative. It was such a big joke!
But Ye Kui could think about these words in his heart, but could not say them in front of Ye Chongwen.
From the lines recorded in Xiao Yunniang's letter, Ye Kui could barely guess that Ye Chongwen was a person who respected etiquette and law. If she said those words, she would be a traitor.
Not to mention that she didn't grow up next to him, even if she grew up next to him, she would probably be devastated if she said such words in person.
"What my father said is that my daughter knew she was wrong. It's just..." Ye Kui admitted her mistake. After saying the word "But", she deliberately paused. "The old lady next to her is really bad. I don't know how she taught her fifth sister on weekdays. She heard all the maids and mother-in-law in the daughter's yard last night."
Ye Chongwen was stunned and frowned, "What did she say?"
Ye Kui seemed extremely embarrassed, and after a while, she gently uttered a sentence from the gap between her teeth, "The fifth sister called her daughter a bitch..."
"Bastard!" Ye Chongwen was extremely annoyed and slapped the desk with his palm, which made the pen on the pen holder roll to the ground. He didn't go to pick it up, but said angrily, "Your mother is right. Dou is too young, so how can he teach children!"
Ye Kui lowered her eyes and smiled, it seemed that she had received another news from Ye Chongwen inadvertently.
"Forget it, you go back first." Ye Chongwen waved his hand to signal her to go out.
But as soon as Ye Kui walked to the door, he heard him shouting from behind: "I forgot to tell you that Xiao Shu will be back to Beijing in a few days. You have time to go and have a look."
Ye Kui's body stiffened, and after enduring it, he couldn't help but turn around and asked, "Xiao Shu is still young, why should my father be so anxious?"
Ye Chongwen glanced at her, "I am already following the emperor at the age of him."
As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Kui naturally had nothing to say.
However, Ye Chongwen said to himself, "Besides, your mother is right, Xiao Shu is talented and naturally cannot delay it."
The "your mother" here is also called He's family.
Ye Kui felt cold in her heart, and suddenly understood why He never mentioned what he said last night, and it turned out that he was waiting for her here.
Without Ye Shu, Ye Zhao was the only legitimate son in this family.
But Ye Shu came back, and it was so unexpected that he came back. I am afraid that He would have hated Ye Chongwen's student surnamed Jin. If it weren't for that Lord Jin, nothing would have happened now.
Ye Kui clenched her fist and said, "Mother said so well."
She could get Ye Shu back from Wangjing once, and she could get him back twice.
But, I'm going to trouble Pei Changge again.
Now that she is in a deep house, this matter has become troublesome. She cannot go out easily, nor can she contact Pei Changge easily, and I am afraid she will have to think about it after she goes back.
However, today's move is not a loss. Ye Chongwen mentioned Xiao Yunniang several times in just a few words, and also mentioned He's times.
This shows that he was not ruthless to Xiao Yunniang, but he was afraid that he was so virtuous to He.
Ye Kui went out and let out a long breath of turbid air before she said to the pearl who had been guarding: "Do you know how to go to the Third Young Master?"
Pearl replied with a smile: "There is no way in this mansion that I don't know. Don't worry, follow me."
Ye Kui nodded and followed.
The round bun swayed slightly as the pearls moved. Ye Kui stared at it for a while and seemed to be feeling better.
Zhenzhu is only eleven years old this year, but because she is a child, she is very familiar with the Ye family. She just came to work in front of He this year, but a second lady came, so she was called over and led the way for the second lady.
It seems that there is nothing special about it, but Ye Kui thinks that the pearls will come in handy sooner or later.
Just like what she once said to Chi Po, every piece has its use, so none of these pieces that were placed in her yard by He's will be wasted.
Along the way, Pearl chirped and Ye Kui listened silently, occasionally "um" a few times.
Finally, I walked to the yard where Ye Shu lived, but was told that someone had been called by his ancestors.
The day Ye Kui first came, she followed everyone to pay tribute to her ancestors, but later she found out that except for Ye Mingyan, who was raised by her ancestors, the rest of the family did not need to pay tribute to her every day. So she thought that Mrs. Ye had been a poor wife for the rest of her life, so she thought too much about it.
But today, why did she suddenly call Ye Shu?
After thinking about it, Ye Kui decided to go back to the yard first.
It was only a few days before she left, so she couldn't get up and rushed to the Ye family's most difficult old lady to find her fault.
But after returning to her yard, she realized that things were not much better than facing her ancestors.
Ye Mingwan's girl is coming again!
Ye Kui was unhappy with her, and she showed no mercy last night, so there was no need to pretend today. She just glanced at Ye Ming and went into the room.
Ye Mingwan seemed to be ready to follow, but was blocked by Liu's mother, who was flushed and swollen.
Before the riots started, someone came to pass the message that Aunt Dou was anxious to call Miss Five to go back. Mother Liu hurriedly left with Ye Mingwan, who was still trying to break into the door.
The little girl's crisp voice gradually faded away, and the yard finally became clear.
Ye Kui smiled and asked Bai Yu to pour a cup of tea, saying, "Why are you serving in the house? Where did the Tortoise Moe go?"
"Sister Daimao went out early in the morning, so I didn't say why." Bai Yu replied softly. Her deep and moving eyes looked more and more beautiful in the daytime.
Ye Kui looked at it and became curious about Xin Luo's place.
Although Bai Yu's appearance is different from that of Dayue people, the difference is not too big. Except for the slightly weird color of those eyes, she is just a beautiful young girl.
"Go and call all the maids and mothers into the yard. I have something to say." Ye Kui drank the tea in the cup in one breath, pursed her thin red lips and ordered.
Bai Yu is a smart person, so she naturally understands what she is going to do, so she immediately turns around and goes out to call people.
Soon, the crowd had gathered together.
Ye Kui asked someone to move a carved chair and sit in the middle of the yard.
Chi Po and Bai Yu stood beside her, one left and one right.
"Who was guarding the gate last night?" Ye Kui smiled, looking innocent.
Seeing her like this, a group of people thought she should not be a powerful character, but after last night's incident, they no longer dared to think so.
After a while, two mothers stood up in a squint manner.
The smile on Ye Kui's face became brighter and brighter, "Two? Very good, do you know why I'm looking for you?"
"I don't know..."
Ye Kui curled her smile and sighed: "Two living people guarding the door, but they can't even defend a cat? Don't tell me what the dark and dark things are. It's a white cat! How conspicuous is the white hair in the night? Do I need to tell you very much?"
The two women immediately panicked, but thought that the second lady had only been back home for two or three days, and had no power or money, so they could really give up. So they hardened their necks and refused to give in, saying, "Miss. Second lady, you have never guarded the door, where can you know the pain of guarding the door. The cat ran so fast, maybe it came in in just a blink of an eye! How can I blame me for this!"
The more I said this, the more the two of them felt that they were making sense and their voices were raised involuntarily.
Ye Kui suddenly stood up, kicked him, and sneered: "Dog thing!"
Then, without Ye Kui's instructions, Bai Yu suddenly stood in front and slapped one of the mothers in the face. Then, without waiting for the two mothers to react, Bai Yu tapped the left and right and slapped several times in the face.
The crisp sound of flesh and blood striking echoed in the yard.
Ye Kui still had a smile on her lips, but there was no smile in her eyes.
She was looking at Bai Yu.
Seeing this very smart maid who was specially sent to her by He.
But now, she still couldn't see what this maid wanted to do...
"Miss Second Miss, please spare me... I know I am wrong... I know I am wrong-" The two women knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy.
Although the slap hurts, it will not cost you any life.
What they were afraid of was Ye Kui's attitude of taking action without saying anything!
The most important woman in a famous family is gentle and virtuous, but the second lady who came back from the countryside doesn’t care about her face. She lifts up her sleeves and teaches people a lesson!
"Miss Second, the Third Master is here." Chi Po suddenly whispered behind her.
Ye Kui looked up and saw Ye Shu following Daimao into the door.
