As soon as he sat down in the living room, He Shiyin led the maid out of the kitchen. While placing the prepared dishes, he said with a smile: "I know that my brother is a man of great fortune. Your Majesty is not willing to punish my brother. My aunt is really too worried.
Not only did he come back unscathed, but he also became the inspector of the provincial government, an honor that even the princes in the capital would never be able to match."
"Ms. He is too complimentary."
Ye Chengguo responded with a smile, feeling quite unhappy when he thought about what he heard about the Wen family from elsewhere.
It seemed that she was really drifting away from him, and in order to make money, she even killed someone without conscience. Now he just wanted to stay as far away from this person as possible.
He Shiyin didn't notice this at all. She served Ye Chengguan and Qin Wanrou with vegetables and continued with a smile: "Since I met your brother, I have felt that he is different from ordinary people and will be able to achieve great things sooner or later.
, my little sister’s knowledge of what happened in Jiang’an County this time is a bit shallow, I hope my brother won’t blame me.”
As he said that, he put a lot of vegetables into his bowl: "Brother, you must be tired and tired from rushing all the way. You should eat more food and rest early."
Ye Chengguan saw that the food in the bowl was tasteless and couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up expressionlessly and smiled lightly at Qin Wanrou: "I am indeed a little tired. Mother, please eat first."
After saying that, he turned around and went straight back to his room.
Although Qin Wanrou was a little dissatisfied with her son's sudden departure, she couldn't show it openly. She could only comfort him with a warm smile while picking up food for He Shiyin: "This child's temper has become more and more weird recently. Shiyin, please don't go there."
In my heart, he is not targeting you, I think he suffered some grievances in Beijing."
"I'm fine, Auntie."
He Shiyin felt like a bright mirror, her brother must have learned about several recent cases he had taken on and was not happy about it.
It's just that being a litigator doesn't just use people's money to solve their troubles. She can't blame her brother for not understanding her own difficulties.
Qin Wanrou ate some food with He Shiyin, and after sending her away, she sorted out her thoughts, heated a bowl of soup herself and went to Ye Chengguan's room.
Seeing that her son was concentrating on reading, she walked to the desk with light steps, placed the soup in front of her son, and said in a warm voice: "This is the Sishen soup that my mother prepared for you. Please drink some while it's hot."
"
"Well, mother, please put it down first. I'll drink it after reading the pages in my hand."
Ye Chengguan still kept his eyes on the book and hesitated.
"This Four Gods Soup was prepared by Miss Huajia to regulate the body. It has the effect of refreshing the mind."
Qin Wanrou increased her tone and emphasized it deliberately.
As soon as he heard that it was the refreshing soup prepared by Hua Rujin, Ye Chengguan immediately raised his head, but he was worried that his mother would notice something, so he slowly put down the book, picked up the soup and took a few sips, then he felt relaxed.
He replied slowly: "It seems that mother is very dependent on the decoction prepared by Miss Hua."
Qin Wanrou pursed her lips and sneered coldly: "I'm afraid you kid has such thoughts."
After pondering for a moment, Qin Wanrou sat next to him and said in a reproachful tone: "Shiyin has been busy all day preparing a feast for you, but you don't appreciate it. Miss Hua's dose
The decoction will make you lose your mind."
"Why should a mother make fun of her son?"
Ye Chengguan hesitated and didn't know how to tell his mother about He Shiyin.
"I understand too."
Qin Wanrou said with a smile: "Shiyin has litigated for some victims over the years and has inevitably resorted to some tricks. But she is a daughter and is lonely and helpless. If she only pursues justice in her heart like you, how can she be alone?
Today she also made it clear to me that she is ready to find a husband who will help her live at home and raise her children."
"My mother has lived in a boudoir all year round, not knowing the pros and cons of it."
Ye Chengkui replied truthfully: "It is indeed impossible for a litigator to be impartial and selfless in everything, but if you blindly conceal your true self and murder other people's lives just for the sake of worldly gain, this is intolerable. How many innocent people are there?"
People's families were ruined just because of a few clever words from those unscrupulous litigants."
"It's not that serious, right?"
Qin Wanrou had a look of disbelief on her face: "I have watched Shiyin grow up, and she has experienced the loss of her family. How could she be cruel enough to harm others? Chengwei, you can't live up to what you heard.
I appreciate Shiyin’s kindness.”
"My mother was fond of Miss He, but her son did not object. He has always treated her as his own sister. He only knows people and faces but not hearts. Many things have to be seen with his own eyes before he can judge."
Ye Chengkuan didn't want to be the evil person who instigated trouble, so he just said tactfully: "When I settle down in the provincial capital after a while, I will ask Ting'an to come back and pick you up. If you are looking forward to having a grandson, I will also
I will marry you a daughter-in-law you are happy with as soon as possible."
"You're not talking about that girl Rujin, are you?"
Qin Wanrou asked tentatively: "I heard from Ting An today that you are going to let Rujin go with you to the provincial capital."
Ye Chengguan glanced at the little book boy unhappily, then looked back at Qin Wanrou with a smile: "Mother can't make random guesses about this kind of thing. I just feel that I accidentally became an inspector, and my official duties are much busier than those in the county.
It just so happens that Miss Hua is proficient in criminal law, so if she stays with me, she can make some decisions for me."
“So best.”
Qin Wanrou nodded hesitantly: "This girl is also careful and righteous. If her old lady hadn't been messing around, you would all be married by now."
"It seems that mother has asked a lot about her."
Ye Chengguan felt warm in his heart, but calmly joked: "Could it be that a few doses of Miss Hua's decoction made my mother feel compassion for her?"
"Don't tempt my mother."
Qin Wanrou yelled in a coquettish voice.
But in my heart, I began to secretly compare the advantages and disadvantages of Hua Rujin and He Shiyin.
These days, she kept listening to Ting An nagging about Miss Hua's family, and she unconsciously began to like that girl.
Although she didn't need to worry about her son since he was a child, if he really fell in love with Hua Rujin, she didn't want the child to have any concerns about breaking off the engagement.
"Cheng Wei, you have grown up now. Wei Niang never asked about your affairs before, and I will never make decisions for you in the future. Wei Niang believes in your own vision and your own opinions."
Qin Wanrou was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "If you really like a girl from a certain family, don't hide it, tell your mother, and she will propose marriage for you in person. Our family doesn't pay attention to those rules.
Even if you are now a high official, you must not forget your roots. As for marrying a virtuous wife, as long as you have a dignified character, don't worry too much about your family background or family background."
The words were not stated clearly, but Ye Chenggui knew the deep meaning of his mother's words.
"My son has remembered it."
Ye Chengguan replied in a calm tone, then picked up the soup on the table and drank it by himself.
It's just that he doesn't know since when, without Na Nizi by his side, he can't help but think about the days he spent with her.
