Always like him.
"Do you know which family the old lady has her eyes on?" Ye Jinsu asked.
Xiao Hong thought for a while before replying: "I heard she is the Shu girl from the Zhao Clan of Qing He."
The Zhao Clan of Qing He was an unremarkable official. Just last year, they had been promoted to the capital, and now, they were just another poor girl. It looked like the old lady had put in a lot of effort. At Ye Shisui's age, only the Zhao Family was willing to marry a Shu girl.
"How is he?"
"I heard that he's an honest and cautious person. I've never seen him before."
Ye Jinsu nodded. She wasn't too sure about the old lady's gaze, but she didn't say anything.
The next day, Ye Jinsu woke up early to go see her off.
She said that she was going outside to reflect, and Ye Jinsu arranged it for her as if it was a vacation. The manor had sent people to gather everything, including the maids and other items.
Keeping Ye Jinru there for three months, her standard of living would not decline.
However, Ye Jingru's expression was not good.
The reason she left was to avoid Ye Jinsu's eyes and ears. In the end, Ye Jinsu had placed a bunch of people beside her, and not a single one of them wasn't her person.
Ye Jinsu looked at Ye Jingru with a faint smile, watching her kneel down and bid farewell to Ye Zhiru. The father and daughter duo acted as though they were parting ways.
Ye Jinxiu was sincere. She also hugged Ye JinRu and whispered into her ear in a voice that only two people could hear, "I hope sister is really reflecting on herself outside."
After she finished speaking, Ye Jinsu let go of her.
Ye Jingru's face turned pale.
After watching Ye Jingru leave, Ye Jinsu turned to Ye Zhiru and said, "Father."
"Father shouldn't interfere too much in the matters of the court recently. It would be better for us to ponder over the matters of the family." Ye Jinsu said with a smile.
Ye Shisui was stunned for a moment. He didn't understand the meaning behind Ye Jinsu's words.
"I heard that Grandmother has taken a fancy to the daughter of the Zhao Family. Has Father seen Lady Zhao before?"
When mentioning this matter, Ye Zheng could not help but feel a bit impatient. His wife had just died, so he didn't want to marry her again so early. However, the old lady's insistence made sense.
His parents could not be disobeyed, so he could only let them go.
And now, Ye Jinsu was going to intervene.
I heard that Miss Zhao is only a few years older than Ye Jinsu. If she were to marry over, Ye Jinsu would have to call her mother, but she actually doesn't feel awkward!
"You don't need to interfere in this matter, I will handle it myself."
Ye Jinsu smiled faintly, and continued to speak, "Daughter thinks that this is the best time to do so. To be good to father, and to the Ye Family. "
There seemed to be a hidden meaning behind Ye Jinsu's words.
Ye Chong was stunned. He stared at her and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Daughter was only guessing …" Ye Jinsu lowered her eyes and said, "It's just that my daughter heard that the Emperor's temper has been getting more and more violent lately. I don't think His Majesty will let the matter go so easily."
Ye Zheng was shocked. "Are you saying …"
"In case … I'm saying that if something were to happen to Ning Wang, then the family that colluded with Ning Wang might not be able to escape punishment either. " Ye Jinsu looked at Ye Zhonglou and said with a slightly trembling voice.
"So, your daughter feels that it would be better for your father to ignore the matters of the court and peacefully take a wife."
Ye Shisui was shocked. He stood on the spot and thought for a while as he felt Ye Jinsu's words made sense. This was a principle that was fraught with danger everywhere, so walking carefully was never wrong.
"If you really say so, you …" Ye Zheng looked at Ye Jinsu in panic. Previously, when Ye Jinxiu and Ning Wang were so close, it would have been difficult for the Ye Family to not have a connection with Ning Wang.
Ye Jinxiu lowered her head and smiled in relief, "Father, don't worry. I will not affect the Ye family."
Although he didn't know why Ye Jinsu had said so, Ye Shisui could only believe her words at the moment. He nodded. He didn't know when it had started, but Ye Jinsu's words had already convinced him.
"Since that's the case, father might as well take the initiative to talk to grandmother." Ye Jinsu said with a smile, which also eased the relationship between the two of them.
It was true that Ye Jinsu's words had made the mansion feel a lot better when he took the initiative to find the old lady.
The old lady remembered that this matter was the result of Ye Jinsu's persuasion, so she sent someone over to thank her.
Ye Jinsu didn't take it to heart.
She wasn't doing this to please the old lady, and she didn't care about the old lady's goodwill.
However, as she sat at home, she gradually became unable to sit still.
Ning Yunyin never contacted her, but told Meng Lan to instruct Ye Jinshu to leave the room, so as to avoid the slightest bit of anxiety that came to her. She knew Ning Yunyin was thinking for her own sake, but the more she thought about it, the more she felt as if her hands and feet were restrained.
She had to consider Ning Yunxiao first before doing anything.
Just like now, she thought that if she didn't show her face, the Qi King would definitely think that she had tricked him. If that were the case, the Qi King would inevitably launch a counterattack against Ning Yunyin.
However, she was also thinking that if she came into contact with the Qi King again, it would only bring Ning Yunlian more trouble and would only implicate him.
After a while, Ye Jinxiu still didn't understand her.
However, this matter didn't bother Ye Jinsu for long. Soon, something new happened in the Ye Residence.
The old lady arranged for the girl from the Zhao family to meet with Ye Shisui.
It was also the two families' elders who met.
When Ye Jinsu sent Ye Jinru off and advised Ye Zhenzheng to leave, this matter went a lot smoother. Now, the old lady had specially called for Ye Jinsu, which could be considered as asking her to come over and see how she was doing.
Ye Jinxiu had nothing to do every day, so she just so happened to be curious about this honest and cautious Miss Zhao. Thus, she readily agreed.
At that time, it would be closed for the next few years. If the two families decided to go together and get engaged, they would be able to go out with each other directly during New Year's.
He was a bit anxious, but it didn't hurt much.
Ye Jinsu was guided by Shui Sang and walked towards the hall. On the way, she happened to meet a few unfamiliar servants, thinking that these were most likely the Zhao Family's maidservants.
The Old Granny and Old Master were seated in the main seat, while Ye Shisui and Zhao Family's daughter were seated opposite each other. Next to Zhao Family's daughter were the two ladies, Master Zhao and Madame Zhao.
I heard that this concubine wasn't born by Madame Zhao, but she was raised in Madame Zhao's courtyard. From the looks of it, they didn't have a good relationship.
Lady Zhao sat with her head down, seemingly respectful and cautious, as if the slightest sound could scare her.
The old lady didn't seem to be in a good mood, as if she didn't like such a timid one.
Ye Jinxiu stood to the side and observed for a while before she lifted her skirt and walked forward.
"Father, please don't blame me for being late." Ye Jinsu broke the silence in the crowd.
Ye Zheng smiled at Ye Jinsu and said, "Take a seat, if you have nothing to do."
Hearing this, the old lady's expression became a bit more relaxed. She turned her head to look at Lady Zhao and asked, "You're called Zhao Ruxue, right?"
Lady Zhao lowered her head and nodded.
Madame Zhao, who was standing at the side, could not bear to watch any longer. She interrupted, "I don't usually go out. I've already called the old lady to watch a joke."
