Yan Rong went to look for the old master as per Old Madame Ye's orders, but she failed. The Steward Li said that the Old Master had matters to attend to and left the manor, but he was unwilling to say where he had gone to. Yan Rong was helpless, she could only ask Steward Li to think of a way to send a message to the old master.

When Ye Lin received the Attendant's report and rushed back to the manor, it was already close to the time. He hastily washed himself, then changed his blue Xiang Bat Tattooing Robe before rushing to Jiayu Hall.

Yan Rong lit up all the lamps in the room, carried Su Xin, the Old Madame Ye's favorite drink, along with two plates of the almond buddhist hands, and brought all the servants down the stairs. She closed the door, leaving Ye Lin and his son alone to speak.

The old lady hadn't even opened her mouth when she smelled a faint fragrance from Ye Lin's body. She immediately understood in her heart where he had gone to, and she was a little angry at Ye Lin for not fighting back: "It's just some trivial internal affairs. You're already so impatient, what if one day something big happens, how are you going to deal with it? Or do you want to just go and get drunk like that? "

Hearing this, Ye Lin revealed a look of embarrassment. He had to write a letter and rush back, then wash himself before specially bringing a scented sachet to remove the smell of alcohol from his body. He did not expect the old lady to be able to smell it. He then hurriedly smiled apologetically, "Mother, please calm your anger."

The old lady did not pursue the matter any further. She took a sip of tea and asked, "How is it going?"

Ye Lin shook his head, his face revealing a gloomy look, "Still no idea."

The old lady frowned, as if she did not expect that Ye Lin's actions would be so sloppy, "Can't you just randomly list one or two of those things that you are holding in your hands? "Why bother going around in circles?"

Ye Lin said: "Since the Cheng Family is in line, and the momentum of the Second Prince is growing stronger, I'm afraid that they will not be able to make it to the table today. Moreover, the situation in Jiangnan was unclear. Besides getting married, the Second Prince must have other tricks up his sleeve. We have to uncover all of them before we can make a move, so as to not let anything slip through the net. "

Although Ye Lin's words were reasonable, the old lady did not miss the glint in his eyes. He immediately put down the teacup in his hands and asked, "What other things are you hiding from me?"

Ye Lin's face stiffened. Just as he wanted to say something, he met the old lady's sharp gaze, and stammered: "Last time at the Painting Garden, I drank a bit too much, so I stayed in the garden. I don't know why but I was somehow informed by Fu Shan."

"Foolish!" The old lady flew into a rage and immediately glared at him. She raised her hand and slapped the table a few times, almost knocking the teacup to the ground. Yan Rong who was guarding outside was shocked, she anxiously looked at the closed door.

"I told you not to go there, but you just wouldn't listen. Now that you have been set up by someone, let's see just how refined you'll be in the future! "

Ye Lin's face instantly turned red. Painted Fragrance Garden was indeed a place of elegance, situated at the most beautiful place in the Slim West Lake. The garden was filled with flowers and trees, and strange stones stood tall and straight. There were also zither and music to amuse the listeners. Many scholars and guests came all day long to talk poetry and write essays in the garden, to cook wine and talk about ancient and modern times.

Even Ye Lin, Cheng Fu Shan and the others would often set up a feast.

There was something wrong with what happened that night. Although he was a weak scholar, his tolerance for alcohol had always been good. That night, he drank a few cups before becoming unconscious, and when he woke up, everything was in order.

After the incident, he had secretly sent people to investigate, but how could he find any evidence? Cheng Fu Shan initially thought that no one knew, but before long, he found a reason to send over the night's attendants.

However, he had no evidence, so he could only restrain his emotions. Furthermore, he then deliberately accepted Chun Xiao who knew that it was possible that she was a spy. Fortunately, Madame SHen had dealt with Chun Xiao and saved him a lot of trouble.

Looking at Ye Lin's embarrassed and annoyed expression, the old lady snorted, "What did you do with that person?"

Ye Lin answered honestly: "Placed in the big house in Cat's Ear Lane."

In the popular outer rooms of the Zhou Dynasty, those with money and power all had several mansions outside, and their names were like gold and gold. In the past, he had scoffed disdainfully at this matter. However, due to the identity of the servant and the fact that this matter was not known to the public, he had learned to set up a small house outside and raise this person. Before he returned to the manor, he went to Cat's Ear Lane.

The old lady was so angry that she started laughing, "Now that everyone is in danger, you actually imitated me and hid my talent. I'm afraid that in the end, your hundred years of reputation in the Ye Family will be destroyed!"

Ye Lin was shocked. The old lady had received an invitation from the clan's elders to go to the capital this time, and staying here for a long time, he might have heard some news.

He hurriedly asked, "Mother, did you hear something?"

The Old Granny stared at Ye Lin angrily: "If you really hear the news, then it's too late."

Then there would be nothing to do. Ye Lin's worried heart slowly calmed down, and he instantly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry too early." The old lady's expression was unfathomable. After pondering for a long time, she finally leaned back and sighed: "I heard that you have been getting sick and sick. Two days ago, I invited Old Imperial Physician Hua to help me with veins."

Ye Lin's expression changed greatly, "It's actually this serious?"

A shadow flashed across his eyes. The Hua family was known as the godly doctor Hua Tuo, and their medical skills had always been at the top of the apricot forest. Now that Imperial Physician Hua, who was at the head of the Imperial Physician Guild, had invited the reclusive Old Imperial Physician Hua into the palace to assist with his meridians, the Imperial Physician Hua was afraid that the Imperial Physician Guild was helpless to deal with the situation.

"Not yet." The old lady shook her head and thought for a moment. Then, she said, "It's just that we have to make arrangements to continue serving in Shang Jing after the new year."

Ye Lin nodded with a heavy expression. The piece of fat Jiang Nan was something that all the forces had to contend for, but today, they definitely could not allow Jiang Nan to fall into the hands of a single prince. From the looks of it, Jiangnan was going to fall into chaos soon. The censor was someone who had offended many and many people were eager for him to be unlucky. How could they possibly pull him out of the mud? He only hoped that he could consider the Old Master's loyalty and the benefits of helping him all these years, and could lift his hand and release him once and for all.

The Old Granny took a sip of the tea on the table, her gaze touching the complicated and melancholy on Ye Lin's face, she sighed in her heart.

Ye Family had always been a clear stream, but the Old Master was a smart person, not only did he grasp the opportunity to help the late emperor, he also decisively helped him raise Lin'er's cultivation step by step. However, although he was quite talented, he was still inferior to the Old Master in terms of foresight.

She rubbed her forehead and her tired eyes instantly became clear again. "One more thing. My ancestor's eightieth birthday is going to bring all the Ye bloodline back to the capital to have a good reunion."

Ye Lin frowned, he was initially confused by the Ye Family's sudden invitation to the old lady and Yu Ge'er, but after hearing this, he became even more suspicious: "The Ye Family has been a branch family for a long time, I have always looked down on the branch family, so why do you suddenly want to do this?"

The old lady's eyes were bright. "My health isn't good today. The adult princes are getting restless. The Old Ancestor just wants to spread the word."

Ye Lin seemed to have thought of something, "Mother, you mean …"

"Although the Old Ancestor has a tight tongue, as long as he has money, there is no information that he cannot find out. It is said that the Fifth Prince is going to choose the Lateral Consort s, the Old Ancestor intends to choose the suitable girls from the branch sects and send them in. "

"If that's the case, why don't you let the girls go?" Ye Lin's face changed. Although the Second Prince has the power to rule the world, but the Fifth Prince is intelligent, and has a Sacred Heart, he might still have the power to fight for it. How could his family be willing to give up such a good opportunity?

"This is the wisdom of the Old Ancestor." The corners of the old lady's mouth curled up coldly, "I say it's a side branch, but in the end, it's still the bloodline of Ye Family. If it's a matter of the future, how can I not help Ye Family? One must know that the bones are broken and the tendons are still attached. " He paused for a while and then continued: "What's more, our family is a noble's mansion, how could Lateral Consort enter our eyes? She was probably plotting to become the main wife! However, it is unknown which prince is in her sights. "

"This family has gone too far!" Ye Lin suddenly stood up, if it was any other branch, then it would be fine, but his branch did not have a noble title, but they had always been placed in the imperial court, and were also famous people in the south of the river, so how could they allow their family to do as they were told! Although the Lateral Consort was nice to listen to, but she was still a concubine. If news of this spread out, wouldn't selling women for glory be sullying his reputation?

"This matter cannot be decided." He gave the old lady an anxious look. "Mother didn't nod in front of the Old Ancestor, did she?"

"Sit down!" The old lady's face was somewhat stern. "How can you take on such a big responsibility if you are so restless?" I have already agreed to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival! "
