There was a day of rest in the middle to go back home, but Mr. Xue sent someone to deliver a letter to the Imperial College, telling Ye Yuanzhou to study peacefully without going back home. Ye Yuanzhou wanted to stand out in the Imperial College's year-end exam, so he listened to Mr. Xue and did not return home.
For two whole months, he studied hard. By the end of the year exam, Ye Yuanzhou ranked first among the students in the same period.
Under the envious and admiring eyes of everyone, Ye Yuanzhou finally felt proud and proud. Next, there will be about twenty days of annual leave. He can finally stay in the house for a few more days, and finally have the opportunity to stay with Lan'er. Even if
If you can't be alone in private, it's good to look at her more and chat a few words.
Thinking of this, Ye Yuanzhou's heart became hot. Even though the weather was cold and windy, it did not dampen his joyful mood at all.
Ye Yuanzhou, who was in a good mood, returned to Uncle Changyuan's Mansion. However, there was one thing that was strange. Why did all the servants smile and congratulate him when they saw him? Could it be that news about his excellent performance in the year-end exam had reached the mansion?
?
Ye Yuanzhou secretly felt strange, and felt an inexplicable uneasiness in his heart. He always felt that he seemed to have missed something very important. But what it was, he couldn't figure it out...
This feeling became more and more obvious after returning to Hefeng Courtyard. The maids and women all had smiles in their eyes. Although they didn't rush to express their congratulations, it still made people aware that something was wrong.
Mrs.
On the side. Although he said nothing, his eyes were shining with a smile.
Ye Yuanzhou's heart warmed up. In the past two months, he had forced himself to immerse himself in studying and did not dare to let himself miss her. But now, she was standing in front of him so cutely, as if she was drowning him.
The tenderness and sweetness came to my heart again.
"Brother, you are finally back." Ye Qingfu said happily: "You don't know about a big happy event..."
Mr. Xue coughed heavily and interrupted Ye Qingfu: "Your eldest brother has just come back, let him have a good rest first. We will discuss the rest later." The engagement will inevitably provoke a fierce reaction from Ye Yuanzhou.
It's really not the right time to talk about this at this moment. It's better to talk about it in private when no one is around.
The strange uneasiness in Ye Yuanzhou's heart came up again, and he couldn't help but ask: "Mother, what is going on? Since I returned home, there are always people congratulating me. I did really well in the end-of-year exam this time, but...
It wouldn’t be possible for the news to reach the house so quickly!”
Mr. Xue smiled vaguely and said, "It's a long story. Come to my room later and I'll tell you in detail..."
"Why are you so hesitant today, mother?" Ye Qingfu didn't know Xue's intention at all, so she blurted out: "Brother has decided to get married, what is there to hide about such a big happy event!"
engagement?
These two words were like a bolt from the blue. Ye Yuanzhou was so shocked that he couldn't recover for a long time, and his handsome face turned pale.
Everything has an answer. No wonder Mrs. Xue always sends letters telling him not to come back. No wonder the servants in the house smile ambiguously and congratulate him when they see him. It turns out that Mrs. Xue actually went behind his back to do it for him.
The marriage was decided...
Ye Qingfu didn't realize that Ye Yuanzhou's reaction was very wrong, and smiled to herself: "Mom, please take a look. My eldest brother was so happy that he almost went crazy. He couldn't even speak. His future sister-in-law couldn't see this stupid look."
Already..."
Mrs.
Ye Qingfu blinked innocently and aggrievedly, and finally realized something was wrong. The eldest brother's face was pale, and he didn't look happy at all. The mother's attitude was also a bit weird, and the third sister was also very strange. She hadn't said a word until now.
The atmosphere was unusually stagnant. What was going on with all this?
"Didn't you hear what I said?" Ms. Xue said with a serious face: "Go back to the house. You are not allowed to come out without my instructions."
Ye Qingfu flattened her mouth and left aggrievedly. Ye Qinglan also took the opportunity to slip away. He knew that there would be a storm next, and she would only be innocent cannon fodder if she stayed here. It was better to escape earlier.
!
Xue's sharp eyes swept away, and all the maids and women in the hall immediately retreated.
Ye Yuanzhou looked straight at Ms. Xue, his voice a little hoarse: "Mother, is what the second sister just said true?"
Mrs.
The young lady in the mansion, whose maiden name is "Min", has a good appearance. She is also your eldest aunt's biological niece, so she is a perfect match for you..."
"I will not marry her!" Ye Yuanzhou took a deep breath and said decisively.
Mrs.
It is said that the engagement has already passed and everyone in the house knows about it. You must marry whether you want to marry or not."
Ye Yuanzhou bit his lip, his eyes full of pain.
Xue's heart softened again, and she coaxed in a gentle tone: "Yuanzhou, please stop making trouble. You will be sixteen after the Chinese New Year. Others are already fathers at this age, so it is natural for you to get engaged...
"
"I don't want to marry any woman." Ye Yuanzhou said stubbornly, with a vague glint in his eyes: "Mother, I beg you, I will study hard and take the scientific examination in the future, so that you can be proud of me.
.Don’t force me to get married, okay?”
Seeing him like this, Mrs.
"
The last sentence suddenly exploded in Ye Yuanzhou's ears.
Ye Yuanzhou only felt a buzz in his mind, and suddenly it went blank. There was only one sentence echoing in his heart, it turned out that his mother knew everything...
Now that the words have been revealed, Ms.
Bloodline is your biological sister. You are so unjust that you have shady thoughts towards her. You also deliberately failed Qiu Wei's exam because of that girl, and almost ruined your own future. Fortunately, only I know, if your father also knows.
Now, how will this matter end? If outsiders find out again, how will you behave in the future? Do you want the face of Changyuan Uncle Mansion anymore?"
Ye Yuanzhou was greatly shocked and looked at Mr. Xue in a panic, wondering how much he had heard.
Mrs.
I really studied in the Imperial College, married Zheng Min and came back to live peacefully."
Ye Yuanzhou opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
There was a chill in Mrs.
Even if I scold her, I will never let that girl go. There are plenty of ways to make her die completely, and I will never try to confuse you again!"
Ye Yuanzhou felt cold and said reflexively: "Mom, Lan'er is innocent. It's all my fault. I like her..."
Little did he know that these words only added fuel to the fire, and Xue's anger became even more intense: "Innocent? If she is really innocent, how could you fall in love with your own sister? You can confuse men at such a young age, just like her biological mother.
What a despicable vixen! He won’t even spare his own brother!”
These words were like sharp knives poking into Ye Yuanzhou's chest, causing blood to drip from the pain. He didn't even know how to defend Ye Qinglan.
The words she once said suddenly came to mind again. No matter who was right or wrong, in Xue's eyes, everything was her fault!
For the first time in his life, he hated his own incompetence and weakness. He clearly wanted to protect her who was fragile and helpless, but instead he put her in an even more embarrassing predicament...
"It's her face that you like!" Xue's eyes flashed with a fierce and cold light: "Okay, I will destroy her face right now, and you will never miss her again in this life...
…”
Saying that, he turned around.
Ye Yuanzhou was horrified and knelt down without thinking: "Mother, all the faults are mine. Don't blame Lan'er... I, I will listen to you in everything, I will marry Zheng Min, I will marry Zheng Min..."
There was a cold wetness in the corners of my eyes, my face was wet, and my heart felt empty and cold.
Mrs.
I want to force you. But, she is your biological sister, and the two of you have a bad relationship. We must break it off as soon as possible..."
At this point, her voice was choked with sobs: "I'm begging you, mother. You study hard to gain fame, marry a wife and have children safely, and stop thinking about her. Otherwise, even if your father will fall out with me, I will
We can’t let her go either.”
Yes, she is ruthless. But for her only son, she will not hesitate to kill Ye Qinglan! Even if Ye Chengli turns against her in the future, she will choose to do this!
Word by word, it penetrated into Ye Yuanzhou's ears. It was like a dull knife, cutting his heart back and forth.
Ye Yuanzhou's heart ached, and his eyes were blurred with tears.
