Chapter 263 I Don’t Want to Accept a Little Brother
The guards of the Prince Ren's Palace became fierce at Pingyang's signal, and with the appearance of several secret guards, the concubines finally dared not say a word. They could only let the guards escort them to the front yard, and gave Ye Wenyan a fierce look when they passed by.
Ye Wenyan was so helpless that he asked Pingyang: "Why did you send everyone away?"
Pingyang said to her, "Those women were right, this is indeed because of the Second Young Master. I heard that it was because the Second Young Master was injured so badly that he almost died. In order to keep him alive and cheer him up, His Highness promised that as long as he survived this, he would immediately dismiss all the concubines and maids in the mansion and never cause trouble for the Second Young Master again."
Zhuier was talking too much again, "What's there to argue with, Second Young Master?" Pingyang gave her a look that said "you know", and told Zhuier to figure it out herself, then said to Ye Wenyan, "Second Young Master is fine! His Highness is going to fulfill his promise. But His Highness didn't drive them away, he gave each of them a large sum of money as severance pay, which is enough for them to buy a house in the outer city or other prefectures, and hire two maids and old women to live a good life. They should be content, but unfortunately they want too much, they always want to be the mistress of the Prince Ren's Mansion, so they feel unbalanced."
Ye Wenyan sighed. This was really because of her second brother. Ye Feizhou, oh Ye Feizhou, what can I, as your younger sister, say about you? You have the ability to be the king of Renwang Mansion, why can't you be tough in your own family? If you could be tougher, I wouldn't always be like a traitor, standing up for the second son whenever there is something wrong at home.
"Miss Fourth, please come this way." Pingyang continued to lead the way, saying as he walked, "Excuse me, Miss Fourth, this matter in the mansion will be dealt with soon, and the guards and secret guards will personally escort them out of the inner city, and will never let them set foot in the inner city again." Ye Wenyan shook his head, "These things have nothing to do with me, and I am too lazy to care. The Third Prince was the one who found the person in the first place, and now the Third Prince also wants to send her away, so please let him take full responsibility and don't always use someone else as an excuse."
"Yes, what the Fourth Miss said is right. I have taken note of it and will definitely tell Your Highness. Your Highness will definitely listen to the Fourth Miss."
Zhuier was a little confused when she heard this. She whispered to Pingyang, "Could it be that your prince really likes my young lady? Otherwise, why would he listen to my young lady? When will my young lady be able to come to the Renwang Palace to make the decision?"
Pingyang waved his hands quickly, "No, no, no, little girl, don't talk nonsense. His Highness respects the Fourth Young Lady and has absolutely no intention of overstepping the boundaries. You can't say that, you can't say that. As for why His Highness listens to the Fourth Young Lady, this servant doesn't know. I only know that His Highness has ordered that from now on, everyone in the Renwang Mansion should treat the Fourth Young Lady like the Second Young Master. No matter when the Fourth Young Lady comes to the mansion, she cannot be stopped. The Fourth Young Lady has free access to the Renwang Mansion, including His Highness's study, which she can go to at any time." Zhuier was even more confused, "Why is this?"
Pingyang said he really didn't know, and finally just threw out a sentence: "Maybe it's because I love the house and the dog in it!"
As they were talking, the group had already entered the study.
Two black-clad secret guards stood on either side of the study door. When they saw Ye Wenyan coming, they immediately knelt down and said in unison, "Greetings, Fourth Young Lady."
Ye Wenyan was fine, but Zhuier was shocked. She almost thought that the Emperor's deeds were exposed, and her daughter was enjoying the treatment of the Emperor and Empress in advance. Otherwise, why would the people in Renwang Mansion be so humble?
"You stay outside and let Pingyang take care of you." She talked to Zhuier, and then said to Pingyang. "My girl hasn't eaten for a day, you'd better give her some snacks or something to fill her stomach, otherwise she will be hungry and irritable."
Zhuier wanted to say that she was not irritable, but she was indeed hungry, so she did not say anything. Seeing Ye Wenyan push the door into the study and close it again, she discussed with Pingyang: "It's better to give me a bowl of rice, I'm really hungry. Also, my young lady hasn't eaten for a day, you can prepare some food and send it in at the end, and some snacks, so she can eat whatever she wants."
Pingyang didn't dare to delay for a moment and went to do it immediately.
In the study, Ye Wenyan sat behind the desk. Quan Qingyun was not vague at all. Seeing her sitting firmly, he immediately knelt on one knee and said, "King Quan Qingyun, I pay my respects to Miss Fourth Ye."
She was not surprised by this. On the contrary, if the Third Prince had not reacted at all after Master Liyuan came, he would be a fool. So she nodded, accepted his greeting, raised her hand, and said calmly, "Stand up!"
As he raised his hand, some spiritual power was injected into it, and Quan Qingyun felt as if a pair of invisible hands in the air supported him, allowing him to stand up without much effort.
He was shocked and looked at Ye Wenyan with fear in his eyes.
She said to him, "I am not a man-eating demon, so you don't have to be afraid of me. You don't have to bow to me every time you see me in the future. I still want to live a simple life and don't want to be an alien in this world. It is enough for people to have a Master Liyuan in their hearts. There is no need for another me. Do you understand what I mean?"
Quan Qingyun nodded immediately, "I understand. Please rest assured, Fourth Miss, I know what to do. From now on, I will behave the same as before in front of others. In private, I will obey your orders."
"It's useless for you to obey me blindly." She told Quan Qingyun, "I don't have the intention of taking you as my younger brother. I didn't invite the emperor to your house today for you. So you don't have to treat me like this or that. We are not familiar with each other."
Quan Qingyun thought for a moment and said, "We will get to know each other slowly. No matter who the Emperor is targeting, I have to be grateful and accept this favor. Fourth Miss, let's not beat around the bush. I have been taking care of Feizhou for more than ten years. He is closer to me than his parents, so saving him is the same as saving me."
"In that case, tell me how to express your gratitude!" Ye Wenyan leaned back in her chair, looking at him with her eyes hooked, the indifference on her face was intimidating. But Quan Qingyun had no time to be afraid. He was full of thoughts about getting along well with the Fourth Miss Ye in the future. No matter if she accepted him as his younger brother or not, he would follow her for the rest of his life. After all, following the Fourth Miss Ye was equivalent to following the Emperor. Who in the world wouldn't want to follow the Emperor? God knows that he was a member of the royal family, but the person he envied the most was the Quanzhou Ji Nu.
"Can I give all the hills, manors, fertile fields, and houses I own to the Fourth Young Lady?" Quan Qingyun was very straightforward. He gave away all his fortune right away, which made Ye Wenyan laugh.
"I'm not a greedy person. What's the point of having all your properties? I'll pay you for the six mountains I gave you earlier." She paused and changed her words, "But I heard from my second brother that you have a total of twelve mountains in the suburbs of Beijing. In addition to the six you gave me, you still have six. If the Third Prince really wants to show his appreciation, why not give me the other six and we can pay for them together later? How do you think?"
"No big deal." Quan Qingyun shook his head, "I'll give you the mountain, but you can't take the silver."
She didn't refuse, "If you don't want it, just ignore it. Just treat it as your preference."
Quan Qingyun was very happy, and immediately walked forward, took out the six deeds from the desk and handed them to her, and told her: "These six were originally reserved for Feizhou, but he is also stubborn and refused to take them no matter what."
Ye Wenyan put away the deed, and finally put away her coldness, turning to some emotion. She said to Quan Qingyun: "If you really care about my second brother, you should think about what happened in the past, and think about what to do in the future. I offended my senior brother today, and I owed him a life-saving grace. Now, he came to my house and asked me to repay him, but I turned my kindness into hatred and offended him again. Well, speaking of it, this life-saving grace was also given by you, I really..." She was very depressed, "I really owed you two in my previous life."
Quan Qingyun knelt down again, "I was really confused last time, please forgive me, Miss Fourth, please forgive me. I still say the same thing, I will listen to you from now on, just consider it as atonement for what happened on the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month." As he spoke, he knocked his head to the ground, and he didn't get up for a long time, and he didn't say anything else.
Ye Wenyan sighed after reading it, "Forget it, tell me what happened in the past and why you two have such a grudge against each other. After that, let's think of a way together to see if there is a breakthrough. Don't think about hiding anything from me. Now that my details have been revealed, you should understand that there are all things in this world that I can find out as long as I want to know. If you don't tell me about your past, I still have plenty of ways to make you tell me. Besides, if you want to settle this matter, there is no better choice than me."
When she said this, she sighed again, "I haven't told you yet, just because my second brother returned home safely, my senior brother took away my fifth sister in a rage, and until now there has been no news, let alone an explanation. You should understand that this is a threat and a deterrent, or it may be that he is going to risk everything. In short, tell me quickly before something big happens, maybe there is still a way." Quan Qingyun knelt on the ground and didn't get up, but he still answered everything Ye Wenyan wanted to know.
He told Ye Wenyan: "In fact, my father treated me very well at the beginning and had high hopes for me. I once heard him tell my mother that he would teach me well, teach me personally, and make me the son who is most like him, so that I can inherit his throne in the future. But later, I found Ye Feizhou in front of the palace, and my father's attitude towards me became worse and worse every year..."
