Second Marriage

Ye Shen had left with his mother. Old Master Ye was unable to find them even after sending some servants to inquire around nor was he able to find the private mansion.

In desperation, Old Master Ye could only call for his eldest son and tell him what Ye Shen had threatened with earlier.

“Fifth Younger Brother is probably acting against Eldest Younger Sister for the sake of the Ye Family,” Eldest Master Ye muttered as he lowered his head and touched his beard. “The Xiao Family will return to the capital soon, and there must be a reward from the Emperor. Eldest Younger Sister was insistent on the divorce with the little girl of the Xiao Family. Marquis Ningyuan is bound to be angry with the Li Family when he returns to the capital. When that time comes, Eldest Younger Sister’s husband will send her back, and we will be the ones to suffer the wrath of Marquis Ningyuan.”

“But if the Li Family goes through with the divorce, then what will happen with the unmarried daughters in our family?” Old Master Ye calmed down and was told the truth again by his eldest son. It’s just that he still had a stubborn mouth and didn’t want to let go.

How could Eldest Master Ye not know what his own father’s personality was like?

In the past, Old Master Ye used to be a cabinet minister of the second rank in the current dynasty. He was not very satisfied with it and was schemed against, which led to the near collapse of the Ye Family. In any case, how could such a trivial matter not have a solution?

His father used his words to say what he wanted so that he could find a way out of the situation.

Eldest Master Ye figured out what his father meant. He slapped his knee and said, “Father, the Ye Family can’t have a divorced daughter, so let’s stay away from it. After the divorce, send Eldest Younger Sister to the villa or Daoist Temples or a monastery somewhere. As we wait for Marquis Ningyuan to return, we will prepare generous gifts for them as an apology.”

Old Master Ye’s pale face finally became more moderate. “Then you take care of it.”

After Eldest Master Ye agreed, remembered to inquire about his brother’s whereabouts. “Did Fifth Youngest Brother enter the palace after he left the residence?”

This made Old Master Ye’s face sink again and he replied in a cold voice, “Why do you care about that evil creature? He can go wherever he wants!”

“Father.” Eldest Master Ye let out a deep sigh. “This son thought that what the Fifth Younger Brother said earlier was not a threat but was considered based on the Ye Family’s position. It’s just that Father has always been strict with him, and he is often away from home, so he doesn’t speak very well. All in all, he can even give the Embroidered Uniform Guards orders, and he also has a personality that won’t be easy on anyone.”

“He doesn’t care about the Ye Family at all!”

Old Master Ye suddenly stood up angrily, and his spit landed on his eldest son’s face.

His anger came as soon as he spoke. Eldest Master Ye stood there dumbfounded, wondering why his father was angry at the mention of his Fifth Younger Brother, and he didn’t know what to say for a long time.

Old Master Ye was very exasperated, but in the face of his eldest son’s confused eyes, it seemed to be extinguished by a basin of cold water.

Why did he hate Ye Shen so much? He couldn’t say the real reason… But those things he did in the past were for the Ye Family!

If it hadn’t been for that evil spawn, everything would have been fine with his plan. In the end, that evil spawn survived! And everyday, he was poking him in the eye as if he was telling him how despicable he had been.

Old Master Ye leaned back into the chair, his eyes empty.

Seeing the way his father looked, Eldest Master Ye said a few words of comfort and quickly left to explain the situation to his troublesome sister.

After being scorned at his sister’s place, he couldn’t stand how unreasonable she was, so he went back to his place and told his wife about the troublesome work he had to take on.

“I don’t think Old Master is right.” Eldest Madam Ye put down her embroidery work and looked at her husband seriously.

“Why do you say that?”

Eldest Master Ye was startled by his wife’s words.

“Just based on the way Old Master said it. If Fifth Youngest Brother was really doing it for the Ye Family, then why would he use threatening words to suggest for Eldest Sister-In-Law to leave? And don’t you understand Fifth Youngest Brother’s temper? Apart from his mother’s words, who else would he listen to? When you were promoted before, it was your mother who spoke up, while he only helped out once.”

It was because of this that her husband thought well of his Fifth Youngest Brother.

She was a bystander, but she had a rather good understanding of what was going on.

“That, this… what is this called? If Fifth Younger Brother is not doing this for the Ye Family, then why would he be against his eldest sister? Maybe it was Mother who suggested it. Father hasn’t been interested in his marriage, but recently he has been so angry like he could explode at any moment.”

Eldest Master Ye was still unwilling to believe it, mainly because there was no reason to be against his own family member.
