Chapter 214 My Auntie Went Too Lightly
After Ye Yaoyao finished washing up, Yueyan came to find her and Qin Jing for breakfast. Their rooms were next to each other.
"Brother, sister, Father is back."
[Finally, we can see Yue Xuan's true face!]
Upon hearing that Yue Xuan had returned, Ye Yaoyao felt as if she had finally seen the truth of the matter. She straightened her clothes and followed Yue Yan to the dining hall.
Along the way, Yueyan chattered like a cheerful little bird, talking about her father with eyes full of admiration and joy.
"Daddy is amazing! Every time he comes back from the valley, he brings us lots of fun things and delicious food."
The two quickly arrived at the dining hall, where they saw a man dressed in a deep blue robe with white hair, holding Xiao Xiwan's arm and speaking softly.
Yue Xuan was tall and handsome, with a gentle yet firm expression in his eyes. Time seemed to have left few marks on his face, and his white hair only added to his mature charm.
I thought Yue Xuan was a gentle and refined handsome older man, but it seems he's going for a cool and aloof image.
Yuexuan heard footsteps and looked over at them.
"Your Highness Prince Jing."
"Senior Yue."
Qin Jingyu sized up Yue Xuan for a moment, then nodded slightly at him.
Yue Xuan looked back at him, neither humble nor arrogant, and replied:
“If Your Highness Prince Jing does not mind, you may call me Uncle Yue.”
After looking each other over, the two felt a mutual attraction.
"Uncle Yue, may I call you A-Yu?"
Yue Xuan's lips curled up.
"Brother, shouldn't you call him Father?"
Yueyan was curious. She knew she had an older brother, but her parents hadn't told her about her mother's past, and she assumed her brother had gone missing when he was a child.
“I’ve never met your father before, so I feel a bit awkward. Calling him Uncle Yue is just right.”
Xiao Xiwan offered no explanation, but patted her daughter's head, knowing that she would naturally find out they were siblings from the same mother in the future.
"Senior Yue, Ye Yaoyao greets you."
"Miss Ye, there's no need for such formalities. Please sit down and have your meal!"
Everyone was very happy to see their relatives together this time.
"If you have free time in the future, Ayu can come to the valley often."
Yuexuan knew that his beloved wife missed their son and also wanted their daughter to have a support system, so he extended an invitation.
"The opportunity will come."
After finishing their breakfast, the group also said goodbye.
Xiao Xiwan had someone bring over a phoenix tail flower and give it to Ye Yaoyao.
Yueyan insisted on going back with them, and the couple agreed. Their daughter couldn't stay in the valley forever; now that she was going back with her brother, they felt at ease knowing someone would take care of her.
Even after the carriage left the valley, Xiao Xiwan still looked on with reluctance.
"Alright, the child is grown up, we have to let go eventually. Our daughter is being taken care of now, and I'll take you traveling around in the future."
"Okay." Xiao Xiwan leaned against Yue Xuan, pulling herself out of her thoughts.
Following the young girl Yueyan, they didn't rush back. Ye Yaoyao wrote a letter back to inform them that they were on their way.
"Mother, I have good news."
Upon receiving the message by carrier pigeon, Ye Jingyang immediately ran to find Liu Yunshu.
"You little rascal, don't you see there are guests here? You're so jumpy and have no composure at all."
Several ladies and daughters came to visit, and Liu Yunshu glared at Ye Jingyang.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so sorry to have disturbed you."
Ye Jingyang blushed as he saw all the women in the room staring at him, and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting.
"Mother, my little sister has found the medicinal herbs and is on her way back."
"Really? Is Yaoyao safe and sound?"
"I'm fine! Don't worry, Mother."
Ye Jingyang nodded. Now that his mother was cured of the poison, his parents could get married and return to the Ye family. Naturally, he was happy.
The wife of the Minister of Personnel praised it.
"Is this the medicine to cure Xiyao's poison? Fourth Miss is really capable."
Ye Xiyao was poisoned in the palace, and the Empress bestowed upon her medicine and jewelry. Anyone with eyes could see the Empress's intentions.
The Third Miss is likely to enter the Eastern Palace. Although the Crown Prince has just had a Crown Princess, it's really hard to say whether Ye Xiyao or Zhao Wanxi will be able to enter the Eastern Palace.
"Yes! Yes! Madam Ye's children are all good, unlike mine, which are all troublesome."
Knowing that Liu Yunshu's children were all from the Zhenbei Marquis's mansion, this added layer of identity brought her more visitors.
"The child was always good; I'm finally reaping the rewards of my hard work," Liu Yunshu said with a smile.
“That makes sense. All four children are outstanding, and we all need to learn a few tricks from Yunshu.”
Madam Mu spoke sincerely, saying that there were many dirty things in the capital, and there were very few families that could handle things so well and still have people currying favor with them.
Their family used to be a complete mess, but now they're the real winners. It's something they should learn from and exchange ideas with, since everyone wants peace and quiet at home.
Recently, even the Wei family, where wives and concubines had the most harmonious relationship, has been thrown into chaos because of a new concubine.
"Li An, I'm so angry! I clearly told Third Sister to be careful, but she was fooled by that woman."
Let her get her way. Why is that woman so troublesome?
Wei Shaohan and Ye Li'an meet after work and talk about the Wei family with their friend.
"The other party was intentionally approaching you, and it was impossible to guard against them."
The woman who went to the Wei family had an injured foot and was kept there. A few days ago, she climbed into Lord Wei's bed. Third Aunt softened her heart for a moment, and now she regrets it.
With the three ladies united against external threats, Lord Wei's own backyard was on fire, and the Wei family became the laughingstock. Lord Wei was ridiculed and mocked by his colleagues when he went to court.
"Shaohan, perhaps you could investigate this woman's identity further," Ye Li'an suggested.
"We've investigated, and she is indeed an orphan, but it's good to investigate further."
The whole family was playing them for fools. Wei Shaohan wondered how a seemingly weak woman could be so dangerous.
A crowd had gathered in front of them, and it was quite noisy.
"Could it be another case of selling oneself into servitude to bury one's father?"
Ye Lian found his startled reaction amusing.
"It shouldn't be. It sounds more like someone being hit and screaming in pain."
As Ye Li'an spoke, a figure flew out from the crowd.
"Eunuchs in the palace?"
People dressed in eunuch robes lay groaning at his feet, and then one by one they were beaten out and piled up on top of each other.
"Even the father-in-law is causing trouble? Who has such amazing skills?"
"I!"
Xin Chuli walked out from the crowd.
"How should Ah Li teach them a lesson?"
Ye Li'an remembered that Ye Yaoyao had predicted that her tragic end was related to eunuchs. Could it be because she beat these people?
"These guys, under the guise of running errands, took things without paying and even harassed the girls."
They're still restless even though they don't have that thing anymore. I've run into them today, so I'll teach them a lesson.
The eunuch at the top got up, pointed at Xin Chuli, and shouted:
"Who are you? How dare you hit us? Wait until we return to the palace, and we'll have the nobles there deal with you."
"Still daring to shout? I went too far."
Ye Li'an pulled Xin Chuli back from rolling up her sleeves and making a move, while the little eunuch was so frightened by her actions that he took a few steps back.
"You... just you wait." After saying that, he ran away.
"A scoundrel who borrows the tiger's power."
Ye Li'an sighed:
"You have to consider the owner before you beat a dog. The interpersonal relationships in the palace are complicated, and petty people are the most troublesome. Don't get involved with people in the palace in the future."
"Brother Ye, it's alright! Just a few small fry."
Xin Chuli didn't take it to heart, but Ye Li'an frowned. She didn't know what her little sister was thinking, so it seemed she would have to keep an eye on her in the future.
