Chapter 996 (Ye Yuanqing)
‘For tonight’s banquet, there was nothing to fear. This deity hadn’t encountered anything I couldn’t handle. If the Emperor wanted to play mind games, so be it! This deity accepts the challenge!’
He liked this fearless attitude.
Unexpectedly, something like this happened this time, which provided a little diversion from the boredom.
“Yuqing has no choice, Ye Hua, don’t blame her, okay?” Le Jing said attentively.
Ye Juetian also advised from the side, “Yeah, big brother, sister-in-law is not having an easy time.”
Ye Hua remained silent, leaving Le Jing and Ye Juetian unsure of his stance.
At this moment, a beautiful figure appeared at the door.
This woman was wearing a set of soft armour, with delicate features and a hot figure, the kind that stood out boldly! She even had a beauty mark.
This person was none other than the second child of the Ye family, Ye Yuanqing!
It had to be said that all the children of the Ye family were quite good-looking. There wasn’t a single one who didn’t fit the ‘beauty’ category. Although Ye Yuanqing was a woman, her achievements were the highest in the Ye family.
Of course, this was when Ye Hua wasn’t around, as she held a higher official position than her father.
Others had to respectfully call her General Ye.
Ye Hua looked at Ye Yuanqing, who appeared at the entrance of the courtyard, feeling that she wasn’t bad. At least, she was much better than the others.
Ye Yuanqing also looked at Ye Hua, disbelief appearing in her beautiful eyes. ‘Big brother is actually alive!’
She thought it was a joke, it was too impossible.
But now the facts were right in front of her, and she had no choice but to believe.
Ye Yuanqing took a deep breath and walked over. Her steps were strong and powerful, exuding the domineering aura of a warrior. The armour made a brushing sound as she walked, giving off a majestic feeling.
“Aunt Le.” Ye Yuanqing respectfully called out.
Le Jing smiled as she looked at Ye Yuanqing. If there was one child among them she didn’t find repulsive, it would be Ye Yuanqing.
“Yuanqing, sit down and have a meal together.”
Ye Yuanqing didn’t stand on ceremony, nodding in agreement.
Ye Juetian stood up and respectfully greeted, “Sister.”
“Little Tian.” Ye Yuanqing smiled lightly and called out.
Then, she looked at Ye Hua and respectfully said, “Big Brother.”
Ye Hua remained silent after hearing this, as if she weren’t calling him.
Ye Juetian winked at Ye Yuanqing, then pointed to his own head.
Ye Yuanqing felt that Ye Juetian was implying that brother’s brain had been hit by a door.
“Big brother, how have you been these years?” Ye Yuanqing asked curiously after sitting. Like Ye Juetian, she had always considered Ye Hua an idol since childhood.
While Ye Juetian wanted to become a man like big brother, Ye Yuanqing was different; she aimed to surpass him.
Ye Hua replied casually, “Not bad.”
Ye Yuanqing felt that Big Brother was still the same as before, with no difference. But this was the familiar feeling she appreciated. If he turned into a smiling face like Ye Juetian, she would be disappointed.
Such a brother gave a sense of intimidation.
“Yuanqing, you haven’t been home in so many years. How has it been over there?” Le Jing asked with concern.
After Ye Hua’s death, Ye Yuanqing took over his position. Although she was practically a ‘bald’ general with no soldiers under her command at first, after all these years, she developed her own forces and was now guarding the borders, protecting the land. [She wasn’t actually bald…I hope so.]
“Aunt Le, the borders are fine. It has been stable in recent years,” Ye Yuanqing said gently.
“That’s good. Actually, your mother hopes you’ll get married soon and not continue fighting like a boy,” Le Jing said.
“Aunt Le, I will consider it.”
Le Jing didn’t believe Ye Yuanqing’s words. It seemed like this girl intended to stay single for life.
“Sister, this time you’re back, Father will definitely arrange another blind date for you,” Ye Juetian couldn’t help but tease. In this generation of the Ye family, no one had married yet, except for big brother, who hadn’t completed the ceremony.
Ye Yuanqing jokingly replied, “If you’re not afraid of my fists, you can try.”
“Sister, you’re really something.”
“Little Tian, you’re not young anymore. Why haven’t I seen you find someone? Aunt Le must be worried,” Ye Yuanqing said in a joking tone. It seemed like Ye Yuanqing was in a good mood today, making jokes. In the past, she wouldn’t have been like this.
Le Jing smiled helplessly. “Ah, I’m still hoping to have grandchildren.”
“Mother, when the time comes, let big brother introduce someone to me. I saw many beautiful women when I was with big brother.” Ye Juetian still had his mind on those who followed Ye Hua.
Le Jing also teased, “Ye Hua, look at your younger brother’s affairs. You, as the big brother, should take a good look.”
“Yeah.” Ye Hua nodded. His younger brother actually had his eyes on his subordinates, quite interesting.
Among his subordinates, it seemed like there weren’t many who were still single. He wondered if Ye Zizi would be interested. Probably not, as Ye Zizi belonged to the non-marriage faction.
Others seemed to have partners.
“Big brother, do you have any plans for this return?” Ye Yuanqing asked curiously.
“Nothing much, just taking a look,” Ye Hua initially didn’t have much planned when he first arrived. However, the situation had changed, and since the other party had taken action, he, as the Supreme Overlord, would certainly not back down.
“What about the sister-in-law?”
Ye Hua calmly replied, “I now have three wives.”
“Ah,” Ye Yuanqing exclaimed softly. Big brother didn’t seem like the kind of man who would be fickle, yet now he had three wives. Heaven, she had underestimated her brother.
Ye Juetian subtly signalled to Ye Yuanqing not to mention Qian Yuqing.
Ye Yuanqing, who hastily returned home, was still unaware of the marriage news. However, she would find out soon.
Ye Hua said calmly, “As for the woman you call sister-in-law, let her marry into the royal family and fulfil her wishes.”
Ye Yuanqing looked puzzled, “How could the eldest sister-in-law possibly marry into the royal family?”
Le Jing and Ye Juetian sighed helplessly. Ye Hua’s jealousy was really something.
This is simply a vinegar king.
He is called the vinegar king in the cultivation world.
Ye Juetian added, “Second, just this morning, the Emperor has issued a decree to marry sister-in-law to the Ninth Prince.”
“Impossible! Before…” Ye Yuanqing stopped speaking here.
‘Before was before, now was now!’
‘The Emperor must be making a move with sister-in-law. It seemed that big brother’s return this time didn’t make the Emperor happy at all.’
“Big brother, you have to be careful,” Ye Yuanqing said with concern.
Ye Hua felt the sibling bond was quite good. The caring concern of his younger brother and the step-sister of the same father and different mother were truly wonderful human emotions. This made him quite pleased. Should he declare total amnesty for peace?
Ye Hua nodded, maintaining his usual style of speaking less and doing more.
“Yuanqing, go back to see Mother after finishing your meal. She misses you a lot.”
“Aunt Le, I understand,” Ye Yuanqing said respectfully.
