Chapter 407: Second Brother, Live Your Own Life Well
Sister and Mother with me when I leave. There's no way I would run away alone.” 。After all, I still want to eat dumplings made by my mother, and I'm counting on you and elder sister to take care of...Ye Fei Zhou was very frustrated, "I didn't expect this."
Ye Wenyan scoffed at him for a while, but silently muttered to himself in his heart: "Grandfather, don't mind! I was just rambling in front of you. You are magnanimous and wouldn't take it to heart like me. After all, I can't tell the truth to my second brother, and even if I did, he wouldn't believe me. I..."
She still wanted to continue chattering, but suddenly remembered that this night-flying boat was not actually the granddaughter of General Ye. She kept calling him "Second Brother," wasn't she trying to bring the dead back to life
Ye Wenxin nervously bowed towards the tombstone again, then asked Ye Feizhou, "Brother, why are you awake in the middle of the night and come here Don't tell me you came to worship our ancestors. I've never heard of anyone visiting graves at this hour."
Ye Fei Zhou gave her a withering look. "Since you know no one visits graves in the middle of the night, what are you doing here"
"I'll light incense."
"Then me too."
"Don't go in." Watching Ye Fei Zhou step over the threshold and head forward, Ye Wen Yan reached out and pulled him back. "Don't go."
Ye Fei Zhou ignored her, lightly moved his arm and shook her off. Then he took out three incense sticks, lit them, bowed three times, and inserted them into the incense burner.
It's a pity that before he could even light it, the incense burned out. He tried to light it again, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get it going.
Ye Fei Zhou started competing with the three incense sticks, the more he couldn't light them, the more stubbornly he kept trying. But the incense was like fire-avoiding incense, not only couldn't it be lit, but it also put out the oil lamp in the end.
Ye Fei Zhou also got angry, so he didn't light it, and directly inserted it into the incense burner. As a result, it was inserted, but the incense broke in half.
Ye Wen couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked forward, pulled the broken incense from the incense burner and put it aside. Then he looked at Ye Fei Zhou and said, "Second brother, forget it. Perhaps I have already burned enough incense tonight, and the ancestors don't need anyone to offer incense anymore."
Ye Fei Zhou let out a cold snort, with a hint of mockery in his voice, "Perhaps it's not that there's a need for anyone to offer incense anymore, they just don't need me to. Right, Xiao Si" He turned to face Ye Wen Yan, "Do you know something Can you tell me"
Night Wen said helplessly, "I only have guesses, nothing concrete."
"I'd like to hear that too."
"Guessing is just random thinking, it's inaccurate, and listening to it doesn't make any sense."
"Well then, let's just treat it as listening to a story. Anyway, we can't sleep anyway, so why not tell a story to listen to"
"Don't tell!" she refused abruptly, "I haven't heard of anyone going into the ancestral hall to tell stories. You'd think they were talking to ghosts."
"Then tell me, why did you bring me to the main house And why did you have officials from the yamen change my household registration Was this intentional Your purpose was to completely sever my ties with the second branch, even if I can't be separated by blood, I would be legally separated under Qi state law. This way, no matter what happens to the second branch in the future, even if they are executed, the executioner's blade won't fall on my neck, right Xiao Si, tell me, what did they do Were they deserving of death"
She listened to this string of questions, unsure where to begin. So she picked up on the last one and countered, “What if I said that it was necessary for me to die If that day truly came, how would Second Brother choose”
Ye Fei Zhou clenched his fists tightly with both hands, then loosened them again. He repeated this several times until finally a look of relief gradually appeared in his eyes.
He shook his head and said, "The kindness I received has been repaid. There was never any kindness shown to me that needs to be reciprocated; there is nothing to choose."
"Really think so"
“Hmm.” He took a deep breath. “But Xiao Si, you have to tell me, who am I This thought has been in my mind for many years, almost since I was a child. Who am I Am I really their biological child If so, why do they treat me like this If not, then who is my real parent But ever since you made me sever ties with them, I understood, I must be theirs, but the same question should be asked by my father, right”
Ye Wen sighed, "Did my second brother hear what I said at Grandfather's spirit"
Fei Zhou shook his head, "I heard some things, but it wasn't complete, fragmented and confusing. But there was one thing I was sure of, my father came from the wrong path, and there is something fishy about your father’s death, right"
She walked out of the ancestral hall and stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky. It had originally been a night full of stars, but now the stars seemed to have disappeared, not even one could be seen.
“Let me look into this first and I’ll give you an answer,” she said to Ye Fei Zhou, “Second Brother, live your own life well. Since you’re no longer their son, don’t think about them anymore. As for who it really belongs to, it doesn’t matter much in the end, because you will always be the second young master of the Ye family until you die, and I will always be the fourth young miss of the Ye family. This is our identity, there’s no need to doubt it or ponder over it.”
She took Nightflying Boat's arm, "Come on, second brother, we can't sleep anyway. Listening to stories is too boring. Why don't we sneak some wine I have stories and you have wine, that's the perfect combination."
Ye Fei Zhou seemed a little taken aback by her sudden change of topic. He paused for a moment before asking, "What kind of wine did you steal Where did you steal it from"
She replied, “It's the Prince Ren's Mansion! Didn't Chu Lian bury a lot of wine there Let's dig one up and have a drink.”
"Do you drink medicated wine too"
“It’s not all medicinal wine! Chu Lian told me there are also pure brews, really good to drink. Come on, come on!” She pulled the person along, “While it’s dark and windy, it’s perfect for doing this sneaky stuff. Besides, we’re going to steal from the prince’s mansion! Just thinking about it is exciting.”
Ye Fei Zhou felt no thrill at all, even a little bit broken. Why couldn't he just drink openly Why did they have to steal it Besides, what was so secretive about going to Ren Wang Fu Wasn't Ren Wang Fu prepared for them anyway
Although he was reluctant in his heart, he was still dragged by Ye Wen to the gate of Ren Wang's Mansion.
Staring at the mansion gate before them, Ye Wenyan laid out a meticulous plan: "Your light skills are pretty good, and mine aren't bad either. We'll both leap over the gate from directly above. Though it sounds dangerous, most people who pull this kind of stunt wouldn't choose the most obvious entrance. So we go against the grain, maybe that's the safest option."
Ye Fei Zhou simply suspected she had never actually done such things as scaling walls and smuggling goods. What kind of crooked reasoning was this
He blurted out the question: "First time Have you ever snuck into someone's house before"
"How is that possible!" Ye Wenyan straightened her spine. "I've snuck into the palace many times, why is this my first time"
"Are you sure you entered the palace this way"
“I…” Alright, she used to slip in with invisibility magic, just swaggering through walls and doors like it was nothing. So strictly speaking, sneaking into someone's house with martial arts is really the first time I've ever done it. “Anyway, a mere Renwang Mansion wouldn't be able to stop me. Besides, don't you have your skills Wouldn't it be a waste if you didn't use them for something good”
"You call this using it in the right place" Ye Fei Zhou shook his head, thinking they should still knock on the door and enter openly. But when he was about to speak, he swallowed his words back, thinking that the child had finally regained some enthusiasm, and he might as well play along with his sister. There wasn't anything important anyway. Besides, it was just the Ren Wangfu; even if they were discovered, it wouldn't be a big deal. So, changing his tone, he said, "Alright!"
Ye Wen was delighted, grabbing onto her second brother's sleeve and channeling all her internal energy. She even added a touch of spiritual power, making her entire body rise into the air. In a flash, she soared towards Prince Ren's mansion.
This sudden flight startled Ye Fei Zhou. He never expected that Ye Wen Yan could soar so high. This altitude required him to use his full internal energy, at least ten percent! Their youngest brother's lightness skills had reached such a level
He stumbled into the mansion, and Ye Wen pulled him to hide behind a tree for a while, then under the eaves for a while. His movements were so swift that he almost left afterimages. Those dark guards of the Ren Wangfu didn't even notice their presence.
Ye Fei's mind was in a daze, as if he had returned to the night he stole letters outside the city.
That was one of the rare occasions where he fully unleashed his potential. He thought such a level of performance could only be achieved in moments like those, but tonight, under Ye Wen's lead, he pushed himself to that extreme again.
And the reason for such extremism was that if he didn't do so, he couldn't keep up with Ye Wen's pace.
Ye Fei Zhou was beginning to suspect that this dead girl had been hiding her strength all along. In fact, her martial arts skills should already be surpassing his. That night when she fought with the Fourth Prince, she didn't even unleash her full power, leaving some in reserve.
He was actually worried she would get cheated, so he stepped in to stop them from fighting. Now that I think about it, it was totally unnecessary. He probably ruined the girl's fun.
It's so good to have someone backing you up. He went through so much hardship to hone his skills, and now he can easily find a good husband.
Where can I even begin to reason this
He even felt a little urge to ask Ye Wen, how he had come across such a good thing Could he pull some strings and get him one too
Ye Fei's mind was racing with thoughts, thinking and thinking until he found his steps had stopped. He looked around... well, he had arrived at Ye Chu Lian's winemaking courtyard.
He let out a long breath and twitched his ears. He discovered that none of the guards from the Prince Ren's Mansion had followed him, including the guard stationed at this small courtyard who hadn't noticed anyone entering. He couldn't help but sigh in amazement: "Truly remarkable!"
Ye Wen asked him, "What's wonderful"
"Your skill is truly amazing." When the elder brother was filled with admiration, he asked, "If I also want to improve further, how should I train"
She chuckled nervously, “You can’t practice because I’m not just using martial arts, Shi Lifeng also passed down a bit of spiritual power to me. To put it bluntly, I cheated. It's my spiritual power mixed with martial arts that allowed me to sneak into the Ren王府. So, second brother, you are still amazing. Your martial arts have actually caught up with my spiritual power. This is something no human can do.”
Night flight vessel chest tightness and shortness of breath, feeling like he was deceived...
>i Yuan himself, right No matter what, the cooperation is clearly stated. 。Both parties agreed that Mr. and Mrs. Shi would go to the inner city tomorrow, and they would go to the yamen together with W...
