Chapter 247 This is a Mama's Boy
"What could be the reason?" Ye Wenyan snorted softly, already having a definition of that father in his mind.
Ye Feiyu said, "Mother thought that it was because father had not been loved by the old lady since he was a child, so he longed for mother's care more and more, so he listened to everything the old lady said, hoping that mother would treat him better. In addition, he was away from home all year round, and his wife and children stayed at home, so he thought that if he could be more obedient, the old lady would treat us better. Ah Yan..." He hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Do you think father is actually like Fei Zhou? The more he can't get it, the more he wants it, so he loses his direction and himself. It's a pity that he didn't meet you."
Ye Wenyan did not continue with this, because what she said next would not sound good. She had never seen the father in person, let alone met him, so it was difficult for her to make a deep evaluation. But judging from these known events, she always felt that General Ye was actually a mama's boy.
It's just that he's not often at home, and he's a tough general, so some of his mama's boy traits are covered up.
But even so, the things that were not covered up caused a lot of trouble to his wife and children after his death.
She did not agree with Ye Feiyu's comparison. General Ye was different from Ye Feizhou. Ye Feizhou longed for his parents' love, but he only sacrificed himself. But General Ye longed for maternal love, but he sacrificed his family. He sacrificed his children's marriages and his son's future. He was using others as a price to exchange for maternal love. How was he the same as Ye Feizhou?
"What about your marriage? What do you think?" Ye Wenyan didn't want to mention Ye Jinggui anymore. He was gone, and there was no point in commenting on him. If her previous choice was right, she wouldn't say a word, but if it was wrong, she had to correct it since she wanted to stay in this family, otherwise the eldest house would never be well, and her life would never be peaceful.
How can she have a lofty ideal if her family is not at peace? How can she go to the shoreless sea and find out the truth about why human life span is restricted?
Ye Feiyu really thought about her question seriously, and after a while he said, "I don't have any opinion. It's already been decided. We've exchanged three letters, and five of the six ceremonies have been completed. If it weren't for the funeral at home, the bride would have been married by now. I've already accepted it before, so I can't take the initiative to say anything now. But the attitude of the Yu family now... If they want to regret it, I'm willing to cancel the engagement. After all, we don't have a general anymore, and the future is unknown. There's no need to drag them down."
"Then let's choose a day to let mother ask the Yu family what they really think!" She pulled Ye Feiyu's arm, "Don't be sad, brother, this is actually a good thing. It's better to expose some things before marriage than to find out after marriage. Everything is still in time before marriage. Once you get married, you have to endure the pain and swallow your anger. Do you think the old lady's choice of people is without reason? But since the Yu family is from the Ministry of Justice, I will ask Uncle Jiang about this matter later."
She changed the subject and talked about the Li family clinic: "In fact, the original intention of giving this shop to brother was to give him more money to marry a wife. Brother knows the current situation of our family. Second uncle and second aunt control the family business, so it is impossible for us to give too many things to our eldest wife. Of course, generally speaking, mothers save things for their children, but our mother gave a lot of things to second sister in order to make up for the debt. Although there are some things left now, it is not much."
Ye Feiyu nodded, "Not much. In the twelfth lunar month, you should take back the things we stole. Mother said that those were the only things left. Fortunately, I had already made the betrothal offer to the Yu family, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to show off those things. The only decent shop was taken away by the old lady and she hasn't returned it yet."
Ye Wenyan immediately expressed his opinion, "Don't worry, I will definitely come back when we have time. Now I just want to ask you, brother, do you want to just rent this shop, or do you want to run it? Do you still want to participate in the palace examination in the future?"
"No." Ye Feiyu shook his head immediately. "After passing the imperial examination a few years ago, I had great ambitions, thinking that one day I could become a disciple of the emperor and serve the court well. But my father kept suppressing me and didn't let me take the imperial examination. This delay gradually dragged my mind away. Now I really don't want to take the imperial examination anymore, but at the same time I'm confused about how to spend my life if I don't take the imperial examination. People have to make a living. I can't always rely on my family. I can't live on the monthly salary from the government at this age."
The more he spoke, the more frustrated he became. "In that case, I am not as good as Fei Zhou. At least he has Kung Fu. I heard that his martial arts are superb. If he were to enter the martial arts world, he would be ranked among the top ten masters. On the other hand, as the eldest brother, I don't know anything."
Ye Wenyan's eyes lit up, "Then brother, are you willing to run a clinic?"
Huayuyuaner.
When it was getting dark, Nanny Wang quietly returned to the house and knelt in front of Xiao, her face full of guilt and fear.
She told Xiao: "Everything was fine. I finally persuaded Meimei to sleep well. But it was not a big deal. Suddenly, someone hit me twice from behind. I was confused at the time. When I woke up, the room was empty. I searched everywhere on the couch, not leaving any corner untouched, but I found nothing. Second Madam, Meimei is missing!"
Xiao was very angry and wanted to throw things. As a result, she felt pain in her shoulder as soon as she picked up the tea bowl. The wound that was already healing was torn again, and she had to put her arm down in pain.
She asked Nanny Wang, "Did you see who hit you?"
Nanny Wang shook her head. "Forgive me, Madam. I really didn't see anything. First, it was too dark at night, and second, the man didn't make any noise at all! If he hadn't hit me, I wouldn't have known someone had entered the room. He must have been an expert."
"Master?" Xiao sighed after hearing this. "I thought keeping a woman outside would give Hongzhuang more hope in the future, but I didn't expect that she would be discovered in the end. A woman is not important to anyone except the Sixth Prince. Forget it, just take her away. Anyway, Hongzhuang is now in the Su Palace. Even if the woman gives birth to a son, we can't do anything. It's just..."
She hesitated and looked at Nanny Wang for a while, undecided in her mind.
Nanny Wang was her dowry and her confidante, so she trusted Nanny Wang to handle such important matters.
But if the Sixth Prince recognized that the person who had been holding Meimei was Nanny Wang, he would have to follow the clues and catch her, which would not be a good thing. If the Sixth Prince had any hatred for someone else's woman and child, he would probably have to take it out on Ye Hongzhuang.
Xiao gritted her teeth. Since the plan failed, she couldn't leave a tail for others to find. Leaving a handle and trouble for herself was the stupidest thing to do. Compared with a confidant, her daughter was more important.
She bent over and helped Nanny Wang up from the ground. "Nanny, get up quickly. You have taken care of me for so many years. There is no need for us to kneel down to each other. Ask around these few days to see if there is any movement in the Prince Su's villa. As for the small courtyard, I will find someone to deal with it later. Nanny, you don't have to worry about it. Come back to me!"
Nanny Wang nodded repeatedly, "Thank you Madam for not blaming me. I didn't handle this well, and I feel guilty. I will go to the Prince Su's Courtyard tomorrow to find out where Meimei is, if she is alive or dead."
"Okay." Xiao agreed, "Then Madam, go back and rest first, we can talk tomorrow."
After Nanny Wang left, Jinxiu brought in some tonics. Seeing Xiao holding her shoulder, she knew that the wound must have been involved again, so she quickly asked, "Do you want to ask a doctor to take a look? If it doesn't work, change the medicine tonight."
Xiao didn't agree. "It's okay. It was just stretched. I'll change the medicine tomorrow. Nanny Wang is back. Did you see her?"
Jinxiu nodded, "I saw it, but it's only been a few days, why did she come back?"
Xiao snorted coldly, "The plan failed, and the person was lost right under her nose. Where else can she go if she doesn't come back?" She picked up the bowl of patched mouth, leaned in to smell it, and smelled a faint smell of medicine. "It's not easy for Nanny Wang to work outside these few months. I drink this stuff every day, so I can drink it for one night. You can bring it to her so that she can also replenish her mouth."
Jinxiu thought about it and soon understood, "Madam, don't worry, I will take good care of Nanny Wang."
Xiao waved her hand, "Go! Be quick. She has taken care of me for many years, and we still have a master-servant relationship. I originally thought that I would take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life, so as not to let down the master-servant relationship of more than 20 years. If I hadn't really had no other choice, I wouldn't..."
"I understand everything." Jinxiu said immediately, "It was Nanny Wang who didn't do her job well. You can't blame anyone else. Madam, just rest assured. Leave this matter to me. It will be foolproof."
Jinxiu left, but Xiao was still uneasy. On the one hand, she was worried about what the Sixth Prince would do after taking the woman back. On the other hand, she felt that Nanny Wang had been serving her since she was ten years old, and she was too cruel to make such a plan. Xiao got up and went to the small Buddhist temple silently, chanting scriptures and burning incense, and did so until midnight. It was not until Jinxiu came to find her again and told her that the matter was done that she breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to the Buddha statue again, changed the incense, and slowly retreated.
At that time, Ye Feizhou was already standing outside Lin'an City. The place that Ye Hongzhuang pointed out to him was exactly in the same direction as the manor where he hid Meimei. This led to an unexpected consequence - when he left the city, he saw the Third Prince Quan Qingyun standing far away on the road waiting for him...
