Ji Chenyu knew that she was in a bad mood, so she didn't speak and only held her hand to comfort her silently.

Furthermore, Ye Yuning was currently not at ease with what she said, if she said the wrong things, it would only cause Ye Yuning to feel even more uncomfortable.

"You must have seen a joke." Only after a long while did Ye Yuning open her mouth. This pressure was extremely uncomfortable in her heart, it was fortunate that Ji Chenyu was by her side at this time.

Ji Chenyu shook his head: "Every family has its own problems, how could I laugh at you? My family is pretty much the same. It's always the same wherever wives fight. "

When Ye Yuning heard Ji Chenyu's gloomy tone, she could not help but become even more silent. It seemed that she was not the only one who had experienced such worries. There was discord between wives and concubines causing trouble in this deep compound.

In a moment, in the outer study room, Ye Shenghe was walking out of the study room with the Third Master after drinking wine. Concubine Su's personal servant, Xiang Pi, was waiting outside.

"Master, Aunt ordered me to wait here for you." Xiang Fu said in a submissive tone.

Although he was not often at home, he was still clear about Ye Shenghe's temperament. If anything did not obey his wishes, even the servants would be punished.

Ye Shenghe frowned: "What are you waiting for me for?"

"Madam said that she wasn't feeling well and was afraid that she wouldn't take care of Master properly, so she ordered the concubine to serve her tonight." Xiang Pendant said.

Ye Shenghe's heart sank, he had wanted to talk to Lady Wen tonight, but did not expect her to push him over to Concubine Su's side.

Ye Shenghe laughed bitterly, thinking back to the past, hadn't he always been like this?

Although Lady Wen was magnanimous, Ye Shenghe was not happy in her heart. Raising his head to look at the round moon, Ye Shenghe sighed and shook his head.

"Alright, lead the way!"

Xiang Pendant was overjoyed. With a crisp sound of "Yes", she took the lantern and walked in front. Concubine Su was sitting in front of the dressing table. Upon hearing the commotion, she immediately suppressed the pleased look in her eyes and made a obedient gesture.

"Master, you're here."

Ye Shenghe subconsciously frowned when he saw Concubine Su's outfit, "It's Freezing at night, wear a little more."

Concubine Su's expression froze, she pinched the handkerchief and cursed under her breath, "An unruly fool."

"Old master has been on the road for a long time. You must be tired. I will accompany you to rest!" Concubine Su walked forward, and was about to strip Ye Shenghe, but who knew that Ye Shenghe would avoid her hand and sit in the outer room with a few steps.

"I didn't say much to Jun'er and Yu Ling when we were eating. Did they go to bed?"

Concubine Su shook her head and quickly ordered two people to come over. Ye Yuling lived close to Concubine Su, and in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, she was already here.

Seeing Ye Shenghe here, Ye Yuling peeked at his aunt, and revealed a happy smile.

"Dad, you've been gone for so long. Your daughter misses you!" Ye Yuling slanted beside Ye Shenghe and said in a spoiled manner.

Seeing her act so obediently, Ye Shenghe relaxed, "Yu Li has also grown up quite a bit. When Father is not around, what are you doing? Did you give your mother and sister any trouble? "

Ye Yuling's expression stiffened, she pouted and said: "Why does daddy think that, in my heart, daughter only knows how to cause trouble? "My daughter stayed at home and learned embroidery from my aunt. She didn't do anything else."

After he finished speaking, Ye Yuling muttered to himself, "I'm not like Third Sister, who has caused so much trouble that I don't even care about my own sisters." Her voice was soft, but Ye Shenghe could still hear her.

Ye Shenghe did not know what had happened in Ye's Mansion recently, but he believed in Ye Yuning. Upon hearing that, his expression turned cold, and he scolded, "Everything Third Sister did has its reasons, do not make wild guesses."

Ye Yuling was furious in his heart, she wanted to refute, but seeing Concubine Su giving her a look, she gave up on that idea.

"Daughter is wrong. Dad, don't be angry. Daughter will make tea for you." Finished, Ye Yuling ran out.

Seeing how unsteady she was, Ye Shenghe shook his head.

Because Lady Wen didn't like Concubine Su, Ye Yuling had always followed him and developed a petulant personality. Ye Shenghe felt helpless in her heart, but there was nothing she could do.

Fortunately Yu Ning was sensible, otherwise, he wouldn't have much hope. Ye Shenghe couldn't help but think.

Not long after, Ye Yuling walked in with a tea set, followed by her younger brother Ye Yuanjun.

Ye Yuanjun was eight years old this year and looked pure white, like Ye Shenghe in three to four. However, Ye Yuling resembled Concubine Su in all of his aspects, so Ye Shenghe was still very concerned about her only son.

After not seeing the father and son duo for a long time, Ye Shenghe asked Ye Yuanjun about Ye Yuanjun's lesson.

"Where is the west wing now?"

The young masters of the Ye family were all five years old and had started learning from the Three Character Classic and the Thousand Character Classic. When they were eight years old, they should start learning the Four Books and Five Classics.

"I'm already learning the 'Analects of Confucius'." Ye Yuanjun answered seriously. Towards his father in his memories, he had always maintained his fear towards him.

Ye Shenghe nodded slightly, this was more or less what he had expected.

"How many books have you learned? "Let me hear it."

The Four Books and Five Classics were relatively simple. The beginner's knowledge was to let him recite them, and only after that would he understand each and every one of them. Ye Yuanjun's eyes flashed, he rubbed one leg on the ground and hesitated to speak.

Ye Shenghe frowned and said, "What? You don't know how to recite it? "

Ye Yuanjun nodded, afraid that Ye Shenghe wouldn't believe him, he quickly explained, "I just started learning in the next two days, Sir said that I'm still young, there's no need to be in such a hurry … …"

Before he could finish his words, he saw Ye Yuanjun slapping the table, his face was pale.

"Do you think father is a three year old child? You're trying to fool me with these words? I specifically invited Mr. Helian here. I don't even know his temperament. "

Helian Xi Seat was a famous teacher in the Yin Zhou City. He had very strict requirements for the students under his command. If it wasn't for the fact that Ye Shenghe had some relationship with him when he was young, he would definitely not agree to teaching this kind of young master from a wealthy family.

Normally, if one's knowledge was not good enough, it would cause one's disciples to repeatedly practice until the completion of their studies. After all these years, no disciple had received any special care, such as when they were young and didn't need to rush, which was definitely not something that came out of his mouth.

Ye Shenghe was annoyed, "Even if I just learned for a few days, shouldn't I be able to recite the first part of the discourse?"

Ye Yuanjun shrunk his body and recited, "Confucius, learn … "To learn from time to time, no, no …"

When Ye Shenghe heard this, his frown deepened.

Lady Wen had a hard time producing another child. All these years, he only had Ye Yuanjun as her only son.

Forget it, Ye Shenghe believed that hard work could make up for his failure, as long as he was willing to study hard, there would be a day he would be able to get a title in the future, and that was it back then.

However, from the looks of it now, he had taken it for granted. Not only did Ye Yuanjun not have any talent, but to the extent of hard work, he was not even close to being hardworking.
