641 How Could He Have Such Thoughts?
Why was Ye Chengzong hating the Mistress? Was he trying to frame everyone for this? Would he blame the Master next?
No, he already blamed the Master for bringing the Mistress to Huayan Peak.
But they were married! What was wrong with them being together? Were they going to live apart after the Master finally found the Mistress?
That made no sense, right?
“Captain, Chenglin was the one who provoked Mistress,” he reminded him again.
Ye Chengzong raised his hand and pressed his eyebrows together with his index fingers before letting out a heavy sigh.
How could he not know that Chenglin was the one who provoked the Mistress? If not for that, he would not have hardened his heart and allowed the Master to send her to the Spirit Severing Cliff to be a guardian.
However, while the Mistress was fine, Chenglin was now in trouble.
“It’s true that Chenglin shouldn’t have provoked her, but as Master’s person, Mistress shouldn’t have sown discord between him and his subordinates, right? This wouldn’t have happened if she had hidden her unhappiness with Chenglin,” he said in a deep voice.
“Well…” Old Jiang did not know what to say.
So, did Ye Chengzong mean that as the Master’s wife, the Mistress had to tolerate disrespect from her subordinates?
He never knew that the captain, who had always treated them like biological brothers and was generous to everyone, would have such thoughts.
“Captain, she’s our Mistress, not just any other subordinate of our Master’s,” he reminded with a sigh.
Ye Chengzong fell silent.
If An Jiuyue was not the Master’s wife, he would not have been so polite to her and put his sister on the spot.
At the end of the day, Chenglin was unwilling to give him the Antidote Pill because she went to the Spirit Severing Cliff and had a hard time there—she was forced to this point!
And it was the Mistress who forced her!
“You can go back. I want to be alone.” He waved at Old Jiang, gesturing for him to leave first.
“Then… Captain, calm down. I’ll go back first.” Old Jiang had nothing else to say to persuade him. He turned around and left.
However, he saw a distinct figure soon after.
“Brother Yan Qin, why are you here?”
It was Yan Qin. He had wanted to give Ye Chengzong a few words of advice.
However, he never expected to overhear Ye Chengzong’s disrespectful remarks. Did Ye Chengzong mean that the Mistress deserved to tolerate Ye Chenglin’s disrespect?
What made the siblings think of such things?
They had good theories. Unfortunately, they failed to consider how they could expect their Master to tolerate their disrespect.
Since the Mistress was their Master’s wife, she was also their master, right?
“I just returned and wanted to pick some medicinal herbs for Mistress. I was passing by.” There was no point in persuading some people. He should not waste his breath.
“Oh.” Old Jiang nodded.
He was a smart person and could tell that Yan Qin had overheard their conversation.
Even he felt there was something wrong with Ye Chengzong, let alone Yan Qin.
