It was getting colder and colder these days due to the heavy rain and wind. The courtyard had long since changed into winter clothes, and the trees and flowers had all become bare. Only the cypress trees and pines of the Cyan Forest were still green.
The old lady held the thermos in her hands and looked at the Old Master's serious expression, sighing heavily in the end, "Don't worry too much, this is getting out of hand. But in the end, the Sun family's brat must also take care of the Sun family. "
"Although our Ye Clan is not a powerful family, we are still a rank 1 official. You don't have to worry about that."
"What do you know?" The Old Master lowered his head and rebuked, "The Sun family dared to take that woman away in front of Ye Shisui, what can they not do?"
The old lady was reprimanded. She opened her mouth, but did not say anything. She lowered her head and shook it a few times.
In the end, it was still Ye Jinsu's fault. He didn't put the Ye Family in his eyes at all. He had truly raised an ingrate. The Old Master was now more and more regretful that he had underestimated her.
And that disappointing son of his, he had actually been deceived by a woman for so many years.
How ridiculous!
If this matter got out, everyone would definitely laugh their teeth off!
The Ye residence was about to lose all its face!
As he thought about it, he did not expect Ye Zhenzheng to personally pay him a visit. The Old Master looked at Ye Zhang's figure outside the courtyard. He did not even need to think to know why Ye Zhang had come this time. In any case, his son had always been like this. Back then, he wanted to keep the Xie Clan's life, so he did not listen to his advice.
Now that he wanted her life, he similarly wouldn't listen to her advice.
He was old.
I can't talk anymore.
The Old Master lowered his head and sighed, then lightly coughed and stood up. "Forget it, let him in."
He wasn't allowed to come this time. There would be a next time, a next time. As long as he had this thought, he would never put his decision in his eyes.
Ye Shisui was still respectful. He bowed to the old man and spoke politely.
The Old Master had been eating this for decades, and was very annoyed by it. He stopped looking at him and went straight to the point, "I know what you want to say. This is related to the Ye Family's property, so you can't make a decision so easily."
Ye Zhonglou choked on his words before he could say anything. Then, he followed Ye Jinsu's words, "But if the news were to leak out, it would be detrimental to the House of Ye."
The Old Master's expression turned ugly. What he said made sense. However, since things had turned out like this, it was all the fault of that scoundrel for not listening to his advice back then.
The Old Master slapped the handle of the armchair angrily and stood up, saying harshly: "I told you all those years ago that this woman was not fit to enter my house. You must insist on doing so."
"The current situation is not caused by you alone!" The Old Master could not help but reprimand him loudly, his face flushing red with anger.
Mentioning this matter, Ye Zhenzheng felt extremely ashamed, lowering his head, while Ye Zhenzheng could only repeatedly say, "It was my son who was muddle-headed. Father was right in teaching me a lesson."
Unfortunately, Ye Shisui's good attitude did not appease the lord's anger. He still shouted harshly, "Now everything should be under the care of the Ye residence. Do you understand?"
How could he, who had been wise his entire life, give birth to such a prodigal son? The Old Master was so angry that he couldn't help but cough.
"Yes yes yes, son understands." Ye Shisui nodded his head. He dared not say half a word.
It was perfunctory in the old man's ears. He had been angry all along, and Ye Shisui was wrong in everything he said.
"I understand that you are still so foolish. Now that you killed her, are you going to make the entire Ye Family your enemies?" "Now that the situation is unstable, and the fight for the crown prince position in the imperial court is in chaos, you still have to make the Ye family your enemy at this critical juncture."
"Do you have to defeat the entire Ye Family!" The Old Master pointed at him and scolded him, but his words were already a bit sloppy. He was so angry that he actually said the matter of the crown prince so straightforwardly.
Ye Chong was shocked. He kneeled down and finally said something else. "Father, please don't be angry. Your son was thinking for the family's sake. That's why he wanted to deal with the Xie family earlier."
The Old Master yelled, but the Old Granny quickly pulled him back. He suddenly realized that he had misspoken.
But in the end, the Old Master calmed down and sat down.
Ye Chong spoke in a low but clear voice, "Father only thinks that the Sun family's foundation is deeper than mine, but this is the Sun family's advantage, and also the Sun family's disadvantage."
There were some things the Old Master didn't understand. "What do you mean?"
Ye Shisui was finally able to calm down. He blurted out the words he had prepared earlier, "Sun family's wealth is an advantage, but Sun family's influence is too great." In the entire capital, which family could be as stable as the Sun family? "
"Let's not talk about the distance. Although the Sun family has not done much in the past ten years, the Sun family is still in the imperial court." However, they had never broken their relationship with the various families, as each of them had something to do with the Sun family. "Sun family's brat has hidden the edge, but there are some things that once it has been extended out, it will not be easy to take back."
Originally, it was only slightly related, but it didn't seem to matter much.
However, in the current situation, this tiny detail would have been magnified infinitely.
The Old Master was stunned for a moment. He was surprised to hear such a long string of analysis from his son. He had been away from the capital for many years, and had not been back in the capital for very long.
There were some things that he could not understand.
Compared to his Ye family, the Sun family was in danger.
How could Sun Zheng abandon the entire Sun family for a woman?
The Old Master instantly understood. He had truly become muddle-headed!
Ye Zhenzheng saw the expression on the old man's face and knew that his words were effective. After hearing Ye Jinsu's words, his mind became much clearer. Looking at the situation of the imperial government, his vision became much clearer as well.
"Things are not going well in the capital now. The Xie Clan's matter is a big matter. If this news gets out, it will not only affect the reputation of the House of Ye. I'm afraid it will affect both you and me. This is an extraordinary time, so we should keep a lower profile. "
"To get rid of her as soon as possible is to avoid this big trouble." Ye Shisui lowered his head and said this, his words was full of ruthlessness. Now, when he said this, he no longer looked as if he was deeply concerned about her.
He was like a completely different person.
After what had happened, the love that had been so strong had finally dissipated.
The Old Master looked at Ye Zizai in silence for a long time, as if it was a long time before he finally let out a long sigh.
"Was it because I was confused," the Old Master said with his head lowered? "There are some things this old man can't see, or are you youngsters able to see it clearly."
Ye Zhenzheng's speech now made the old man deaf.
In the end, he lowered his head and waved his hand, his eyes revealing an expression of either sadness or gratification. He slowly said, "If you want to do it, then do it."
