Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother
Chapter 38 Weakness
After the party at the Marquis' Mansion ended, Ye Yunzi took a carriage back to the Ye Mansion. The Ye Mansion was much quieter, and Ye Ziru was also unusually quiet, staying in her own yard without going out.
Everything seemed so peaceful.
After Ye Yunzi came back, she asked Ping'er to go out and find out how the people who died in the Marquis' Mansion that day were dealt with.
The death of the man in the Marquis' Mansion was handled cleanly without causing much turmoil, and few people in the capital knew about it. As expected of a Marquis' Mansion, it handled things in a straightforward and efficient manner...
"The account book of the Marquis' Mansion..."
Ye Yunzi frowned. The account book was of vital importance, but it disappeared for some reason, and until now she had no idea who took it.
"Zhilan, when you were following me that day, did you see any suspicious people?"
The person who was able to take the account book and poison from her quietly must be a person with great martial arts skills.
Ye Yunzi raised her head and looked at Zhilan, and suddenly a strange feeling rose in her heart. If it was someone with great martial arts skills and who was by her side... then it must be Zhilan?
Zhilan's face was calm and she always looked the same.
She is loyal and will never betray anyone.
"Miss, no." There was nothing wrong with Zhilan's tone. Ye Yunzi narrowed her eyes and tapped the table with her fingers. After a long time, she waved her hand and said, "I know. You can go down and have a rest!"
"Yes."
Zhilan walked out and closed the door, and the room suddenly became quiet.
Ye Yunzi sighed deeply, looking tired. She believed in Zhilan and knew that Zhilan would never betray her, so she was unwilling to doubt her.
"Who was it that approached me secretly without my noticing? And why did they take the poison with them?"
Ye Yunzi frowned and her thoughts became more complicated.
Another place, a small courtyard.
Jiaojiao was making tea and bringing it to the hall herself. Her tea-making skills had reached master level and were praised by everyone.
Before I even stepped into the hall, the aroma of tea hit my nose.
The new concubine Ye was as gentle as water. She looked at Master Ye Chongde with affection and was massaging his shoulders at this moment, showing her understanding.
"Well, comfortable..." Ye Chongde sighed.
"Master has a lot of things to do. I can't help much. All I can do is to make him feel more comfortable..." Aunt Ye whispered in a soft and charming voice. Although she was already thirty years old, she was well maintained and looked like a young girl.
Ye Chongde smiled happily. It was definitely the right thing to do to bring Aunt Ye and his daughter into the mansion.
"father!"
At the door, Jiaojiao walked in and put down the tea. "Dad, this is the tea that my daughter made herself, and this cake was also made by me."
"Oh? Really?" Ye Chongde was in a good mood, and looked at Jiaojiao with a little more pity. Jiaojiao was his daughter, with delicate features, and she looked very much like him. And Jiaojiao's surname was Ye.
How could he save his dignity? How did people in the capital talk about him behind his back...
Ye Chongde snorted coldly. Thinking of this, he felt a chill on his back. He always felt that those people's eyes were mocking him.
"Dad, what's wrong? Is it because my daughter didn't do well enough?" Jiaojiao saw Ye Chongde's ugly face and asked hurriedly.
Ye Chongde shook his head, "No, it's none of your business. You are the apple of Daddy's eye, how could Daddy be angry with you... No matter what you do, Daddy likes it!"
Ye Chongde was kind to Jiaojiao and doted on her, but he only acted like a father when he was facing her.
No matter how envious Ye Yunzi was or how she tried to please him... Ye Chongde never showed this kind of expression.
Jiaojiao lowered her head and smiled, hiding the look in her eyes.
Ye Yunzi... everything you have will be mine in the future. Now that I have won Ye Chongde's heart, I will take it all away bit by bit!
"Yunzi, how was the party at the Marquis' Mansion?" Ye Chongde asked suddenly. He had high hopes for Jiaojiao. As long as she could shine at the party, the reputation of Miss Jiaojiao of the Ye Mansion would spread far and wide. In the future, Jiaojiao's status would not just be that of a concubine's daughter, but she could become a legitimate daughter.
"I heard from Wan'er that you practiced the Jinghong Dance for a month."
Ye Chongde called Aunt Ye by her maiden name, which was Wan'er. The fact that he called her like that showed that he valued her very much.
"Yes, Yunzi has practiced very hard and even wore out a pair of her shoes! When she dances, she is like a fairy and will never lose to other noble ladies in the capital." Aunt Ye echoed from the side with a smile in her eyes. Jiaojiao has been practicing the Jinghong Dance for three years. Who can compare to her!
It goes without saying that she is the most outstanding person at the party in the Marquis' Mansion.
Jiaojiao remained silent and clenched her fists secretly.
Ye Yunzi... If there was no Ye Yunzi, she would definitely be the protagonist of the talent show at the party! Why did Ye Yunzi appear? Her dance was even more amazing than hers!
"I..." Jiaojiao stammered and was unable to speak.
"In addition to those noble ladies, many young men from aristocratic families were also present at the party in the Marquis' Mansion. If you perform well, you will definitely leave a deep impression on them... When your fame grows, you will definitely be betrothed to a good family!"
Ye Chongde always takes Jiaojiao's best interest into consideration and wants to make her the legitimate daughter of the Ye family.
“……” Jiaojiao bit her lower lip and was speechless.
"What's wrong?" Ye Chongde's face changed, he looked up at her with questioning eyes.
Aunt Ye immediately sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere. When she saw Jiaojiao's face turn ugly, she immediately tried to smooth things over, saying, "Yunzi is naturally the best... Master, I asked the kitchen to make some sour plum soup and sprinkled some dried osmanthus flowers on it. It tastes fragrant, sour and sweet. I remember that Master used to like this the most."
"Well, you know my taste best!"
Ye Chongde nodded, and immediately turned his attention away, not continuing to ask about the party at the Marquis' Mansion. Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief, but her face still looked bad.
"Someone, bring in the sour plum soup!"
"Yes."
The maid quickly retreated and brought over the sour plum soup.
……
Ye Chongde sat in the small courtyard for a long time before returning to the study.
The smell of ink came, and Ye Chongde was about to pick up the book, but suddenly his body shook, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and he became weak and powerless.
Ye Chongde fell directly to the ground, pulling down many books with his hands.
Suddenly there was a loud noise. The servant guarding outside the door heard something was wrong and hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in.
"Master!" The servant saw Ye Chongde fall to the ground and immediately ran over to help him up, "Master...are you feeling unwell?"
"I..." Ye Chongde's legs were shaking, and it took him a long time to gradually regain his strength.
"I'm fine."
He waved his hand, asking the servants to leave, and then he walked to the yellow pear wood chair and sat down.
