115. The Perfect Story(1/2)
Ye Chen brought a paper bag and slowly opened it with a round moon cake inside.
"Auntie, I'll give you food!" Ye Chen held it and handed it to Ye Ling, with his eyes shiny, "It's made by Grandma Wen, so delicious!"
Ye Ling smiled and took it, and took a bite. It was sweet and fragrant.
Xue and Wen Min came to visit Ye Ling together. They were very happy to see that she had woken up.
However, Ye Ling was still weak at this moment, with a pale face and leaning on the bed.
"It's good that people are fine, and they can take care of their bodies slowly." Xue sighed slightly, "It's so relaxing now. Let's rest for a while."
"Yeah." Ye Ling nodded, "I heard that Qingyu and my sister went to Chongming City. Is his health better?"
Wen Min heard Ye Ling ask about Song Qingyu and her smile deepened: "Yes, it's all OK. Thanks to you asking Young Master Feng to treat A Yu. I'm not happy that he would go to the battlefield again, and he almost lost his life last time. But the child is stubborn and insists on going."
"A man is determined to be in all directions. Qingyu wants to prove himself, so just as my aunt believes in him." Ye Ling smiled.
Wen Min nodded: "I believe, I just hope he will return soon."
After chatting for a few more words, seeing Ye Ling's expression was tired, Wen Min and Xue got up and said goodbye.
When she went out to get on the carriage, Wen Min sighed: "Ye Ling's child is also pitiful. When A Yu comes back, we will tell her that if she wants, she will make up the marriage between the two children and let Qingyu take care of her in the future."
Xue nodded: "This is the best. Let's talk about it when Ye Ying and Qingyu come back."
Ye Ling was weak this time and lasted for a whole day and night before recovering.
It is naturally not so easy to use if you get someone else’s cultivation for a long time, and Ye Ling thinks it is normal.
"Xiao Yezi, you are going to Zhongyong Hou Mansion, what are you planning to investigate?" Nangong Heng asked Ye Ling.
Ye Ling thought to himself: "Actually, I don't know much about the Ye family, except for Ye Xun and his wife."
After Ye Sheng and Ning Zhen got married, they separated from the two houses and went out to live alone.
In the original owner's memory, from her birth to Ye Sheng's death, for ten years, only every New Year's Eve, Ye Sheng would take his wife and children back to the Ye family for a reunion dinner. At other times, there was almost no contact.
After Ye Sheng died, Ye Ling got married. In five years, except for the accident in the middle, Ye Ying left to Longyue Temple, the three siblings lived with Ye Xun's family at other times.
But their grandmother, Yue, has always been alive. Ye Zhao's family in the big house live together in Zhongyong Hou Mansion. Ye Zhao and Ye Xun's brothers have never separated.
During the five years when the original owner lived under Ye Xun and Sun's men, although he was under the same roof, he rarely had contact with her grandmother, Yue and his eldest uncle, Ye Zhao's family.
The relationship between Ye Zhao and Ye Sheng and Ye Xun is obviously not normal.
Mo Zhu held Ye Ling and got off the carriage outside the gate of Zhongyong Hou Mansion.
Ye Ling wore a white dress, without makeup, and walked with style. She was really a weak willow and her temperament was very different from her previous temperament.
The guards guarding the gate changed their expressions when they saw Ye Ling. One of them saluted, and the other ran to inform Ye Xun.
"Why? Stop it and not let it in?" Ye Ling looked at the guard blocking in front of him and asked with a faint expression.
"I dare not, please, Princess Zhan." The guard quickly moved away.
When he entered the mansion and walked halfway, Ye Xun greeted him with a calm face.
Even their face was gone long ago.
"What are you here to do?" Ye Xun asked coldly.
Ye Ling chuckled: "I woke up after a serious illness before and suddenly missed my mother's family very much. I came to visit me. Isn't it welcome?"
Ye Xun's eyes shrank slightly: "Don't beat around the bush! I have married Lian'er to Sun Qiguang as you wish. What else do you want?"
"Uncle San said this. Sister Lian and Sun Qiguang already have that kind of relationship. If you don't marry him, do you still want her to marry the prince?" Ye Ling said with a smile.
When talking about Crown Prince Chu Mingheng, Ye Xun was full of anger. Since Ye Ling exposed the news of Ye Lian's loss of chastity before marriage, Chu Mingheng has caused trouble for Zhongyong Hou Mansion. Ye Xun now has no power except for a title.
"Ye Ling, this is not your parents' home! Please leave!" Ye Xun said coldly. He had already seen Ye Ling's nature clearly and did not dare to provoke him again, because every time Ye Ling came, there was absolutely nothing good!
Ye Ling looked at Ye Xun and his smile deepened: "Look, I scared Uncle San. All the past has passed and I still hold grudges with me. But it doesn't matter if my third uncle doesn't welcome me, because I'm here to visit my grandmother and uncle."
Ye Xun frowned: "Your grandmother is in poor health and will not see guests!"
"Why am I a guest? It's really sad. Grandma's health is not good, so I should go to visit her and be filial. Uncle San, do you want to fight with me if you don't let go?" Ye Ling looked at Ye Xun, smiled sweetly and well-behavedly, and said something, but she was not so polite.
Ye Xun clenched his fists, remembering the snowy day last year, and Ye Ling beat him in public without the strength to fight back, which made him lose face...
Ye Xun snorted coldly and turned around and left.
Zhongyong Hou Mansion is divided into the East Courtyard and the West Courtyard.
Originally, Ye Ling and his three siblings lived in the west courtyard with Ye Xun, the third sibling, and the old lady Yue and the eldest sibling, Ye Zhao, were living in the east courtyard. There was a door connected in the middle.
The woman guarding the gate was shocked when she saw Ye Ling and quickly saluted.
Mo Zhu helped Ye Ling through the small door and entered the East Courtyard.
Compared with the west courtyard, there are more flowers, plants and trees, quieter, fewer people, and very simple clothes.
When I arrived at the entrance of Ciyueju in the East Courtyard, a gray-haired woman stood up and bowed to her. She greeted Ye Ling as soon as she saw him and called "Princess War".
When I entered Ciyue's residence, I felt simple and elegant when I saw it. The woman slammed the curtain and reported softly: "Old lady, Princess Zhan is here!"
When Ye Ling entered the door, he first saw a Buddhist niche, and cigarettes were curling in the room.
Yue was dressed in a simple and dull manner, her gray hair was meticulously combed. She wore a navy blue forehead, had a thin face, a peaceful eyebrows and eyes, and held a string of long Buddhist beads in her hand.
Seeing Ye Ling enter the door, Yue looked surprised and was not moved. She just calmly put down the Buddhist beads and said, "You are here."
Ye Ling signaled Mo Zhu to go outside. She walked over slowly by herself, sat down while Yue, and called out "Grandmother".
"Yeah." Yue looked at Ye Ling with a faint expression, "I heard a lot about you. I was injured before, and it seems that I have been fine."
"It's much better." Ye Ling smiled, "I haven't come to visit my grandmother, I hope my grandmother won't blame me."
Yue shook his head: "No need to say such things. My grandmother has never raised you siblings for a day and cannot afford your filial piety."
A strange color flashed in Ye Ling's eyes. This old lady is not simple...
The woman served hot tea and Ye Ling tasted it, it was very light.
"Grandmother, I have something to do. Why did my father be separated from the family and not separate from the third uncle?" Ye Ling said bluntly.
Yue was silent for a moment, lowered his eyes and said, "I know that when you grow up, you will definitely come to me for some things."
"Can my grandmother solve my doubts?" Ye Ling asked. It seems that the old lady is ready...
Yue did not look at Ye Ling, and said calmly: "Your father is not my biological son."
Ye Ling narrowed his eyes slightly. What the hell? Ye Sheng is not the son of Yue? Then where did he come from?
Then Yue continued, "Ye Sheng was picked up by your grandfather. At that time, your grandfather was just a young general, and I followed him and lived in the border. Due to the severe and cold conditions, my second child was not saved, and your grandfather returned from going out and took back an abandoned baby, which was your father."
After the words of Yue, he called out, "Madam, take that thing over."
The nanny put the curtain in, held a wooden box, placed it in front of Ye Ling, opened the lock, and bowed and retreated.
Ye Ling opened the box and found an old faded swaddle inside.
"This is what your grandfather had wrapped when he saw your father." Yue looked at it and withdrew his gaze. "I lost my own child at that time and raised your father as his biological son. No outsider knows your father's background."
"Does my father know it myself?" Ye Ling asked.
"He didn't know it at first until he killed your grandfather." A trace of pain flashed in Yue's eyes.
Ye Sheng killed his adoptive father Ye Yuan? Where did you start?
"That year, your father was eighteen years old. Your grandfather took him and your uncle to the battlefield. Your father was young and impulsive. He ignored your uncle's dissuasion and insisted on taking people to burn food and grass in Beihu. Your uncle was worried that something might happen to him, so he followed him. Your grandfather learned that he went to chase them. Unexpectedly, he was ambushed. In the end, your grandfather helped your father block an arrow and lost his life. Your uncle was seriously injured and was disabled."
When Yue mentioned the incident back then, his voice was so painful that his eyes turned red slightly.
"So, grandmother hates my father?" Ye Ling asked softly.
Two lines of clear tears fell from the corner of Yue's eyes. She sighed deeply: "That is the child I raised, how could I really hate him? Just when I see him, I will think of your dead grandfather, and your uncle has also been ruined by him... He has grown up, and I told him about his life experience and let him leave this family, so that it will be good for us."
"After that incident, your father was much more calm and had great military achievements, and was valued by the emperor. Although he could not face him, I was very pleased because his grandfather once loved him the most and placed high hopes on him. I think your grandfather would not blame him." Yue looked sad, "I just didn't expect that something happened suddenly when he happened..."
"So that's it." Ye Ling nodded slightly.
"Your third uncle picked up your father's military achievements and got Feng Zhongyong Hou. I don't agree with this. So he repeatedly mentioned that he wanted to take me to the west courtyard to live. I never thought of going to enjoy him." Yue sighed, "Since your grandfather passed away, I don't want to care about the family affairs anymore. I know that you must have a grudge against me, my grandmother, because in those years, I did not take care of you, the three siblings. But your third uncle and aunt did not let you lack food and clothing. Ye Ying's affairs were just an accident. Your third aunt told me about Ye Lian's fault before. Now she is suffering from the consequences, so let's go!"
Ye Ling sighed slightly: "I understand. Grandma should have told us these things earlier. If I had known that my father had harmed my grandfather and uncle and sister Lian, I would not have been so cruel. I thought... Alas, this family does not owe us, we owe this family."
"It would be best if you can think like this. Now Ye Jing has been crowned king, and you and Ye Ying have become generals one after another. You three are better than my relatives' grandchildren." Yue said with a faint expression, "Since you leave this family, you don't have to worry about it in the future, don't have to come back, do your business and live your life."
"Grandma, I know, you may not want to see us. But I don't like to owe others the most. My father owes my grandmother's kindness to raise me. If you owe my uncle, let me repay me." Ye Ling looked serious.
Yue sighed and shook his head: "No need."
"Grandma is sensible, but I can't be ignorant." Ye Ling said, and stood up, "Grandma is resting first, I'll go to visit my uncle. I'm a good friend of Feng Buyi, the young master of the divine doctor. I will find a way to do my uncle's body."
Ye Ling finished speaking and went out. Yue looked at her back, shook her head, closed her eyes, and began to fiddle with the rosary in her hand.
Before Ye Ling could enter Ye Zhao's yard, she heard a coughing sound.
When I entered the door, I saw a thin middle-aged man who was taking care of flowers and plants in the yard.
"Uncle." Ye Ling shouted.
Ye Zhao stood up and saw Ye Ling, he was stunned for a moment, then covered his chest and started coughing.
"Uncle is okay?" Ye Ling looked concerned.
