Ye Jiu, with a somber expression, left and reached the entrance of the courtyard where he happened to meet Old Man Ye, calling out, "Dad."
"Xiaojiu, your complexion looks awful. Are you tired from today?" Old Man Ye asked with concern.
Ye Jiu responded vaguely, "Maybe."
"Then you should hurry back to rest. You’re still young, and at home, there are your dad and your fourth brother. At such a young age, you shouldn’t worry too much. Don’t exhaust yourself. Health and wellbeing are the most important, something no amount of money can buy!" Old Man Ye exclaimed from his heart.
"I know, I’ll head back now," Ye Jiu said.
Just a few steps away, he heard Wenxuan’s voice coming from afar, "Sir, it’s not good, not good..."
"What happened?" Old Man Ye asked anxiously.
"There was a fight at Fourth Uncle’s place, someone tried to force himself on Fourth Aunt, and she kicked him flying far away. His family wouldn’t let it go and demanded that Fourth Aunt take them all down!" Although Wenxuan was young, he was usually calm, and it was rare to see him so shocked.
Old Man Ye’s cheeks twitched in disbelief, but he still asked with concern, "What about your Fourth Uncle? Is he hurt?"
"No, Fourth Uncle just stood there, completely stunned, and it took him a long while to move," Wenxuan said.
Old Man Ye wiped the cold sweat from his brow, "Well, that’s good, at least our family didn’t suffer any loss."
However, this new daughter-in-law, who appeared so gentle and frail, turned out to be so formidable in a fight!
Thinking about his own grandmother’s temper, if in the future...
In Old Man Ye’s mind, there were already hundreds of images of Mrs. He being kicked far away.
Hearing this, Ye Jiu continued walking forward.
He had known Qingyue was skilled in martial arts; nothing there was surprising.
Moreover, as Old Man Ye had said, it wasn’t his own family who was at a loss.
Although it was a wedding night prank, that man had indeed tried to take advantage of the bride, and deserved to be beaten.
As for having a fierce sister-in-law in the future, Ye Jiu did not mind at all. Besides, he believed Qingyue was not a foolish woman like his second sister-in-law; she knew what was more important.
After returning to his own courtyard, the Attendant asked, "Miss, how should we arrange for young master Qin Zhou?"
"Find him a room to rest in and keep a close watch on him," Ye Jiu instructed, considering Qin Zhou’s upbringing as the Crown Prince, who likely had lived a life of privilege.
Upon returning to his room, Ye Jiu suddenly felt very lonely.
Although the house was still the same, the room was still his own, something subtly different was palpable.
It must be the Princess Consort who had disturbed his thoughts. He thought, after a night’s sleep, everything would return to normal, and everything would get better.
After locking the room door and entering the space, Ye Jiu looked at the Jade Pendant on the trading counter and suddenly smiled.
Sikong Mo had just returned from a mission, and before he even had a chance to drink water, he heard someone calling for him in his mind.
The corners of his mouth slightly lifted, bringing a rare smile to his usually cold face.
In the space, Sikong Mo approached Ye Jiu, noticing her clearly unhappy face, he asked, "What’s wrong? Unhappy?"
Ye Jiu nodded, "Suddenly, I feel so annoyed."
"Can you tell me about it?" Sikong Mo casually picked up a bottle of purified water next to him, skillfully opened it, and took a gulp.
Ye Jiu, with a gloomy face, sighed, "My identity has been discovered..."
