Chapter 684: My Ambition Lies Elsewhere

the capital, the siblings gather together. When they reminisce about old times, the Fourth Princess discovers that the brother who truly cares for her is this one, and that the person she truly likes...Danno quickly took a pill and shoved it into her mouth. "Madam, take the pill and rest early! Some things are useless to think about, so just don't think about them, take one step at a time! Besides, those women and children may not necessarily come looking for trouble. Perhaps they also want to live a peaceful life and have no intention of disturbing General's Mansion."

Mu listened and shook her head. "Then they might as well come sooner rather than later, come early and end it early. If they never come, I will be on edge for my entire life, and the children will also carry this burden in their hearts forever. No one can live a good life."

When Ye Feiyu caught up with Ye Qingmei near the General's Mansion, Ye Qingmei was almost at her own courtyard. 。Ye Feiyu ran forward and pulled her, then saw Ye Qingmei silently shedding tears. 。

The maid, Ruizhu, stepped aside to let the siblings talk. Yechingmei then took the initiative to speak to her brother: "Actually, I'm also very upset inside. I never thought my father would be like that, and I never imagined that our family was already rotten to this extent." 。Before this, neither you nor I were willing to think too deeply about it, but tonight, after your brother said those words and refused the Jiang family's proposal, I started thinking that maybe I never want to get married. 。In two years, when the mourning period at home is over, I will move out and buy a courtyard to live in myself. From young to old, as long as I have money in my hand, I can hire maidservants to take care of me. It's better than getting married. 。" Night Fei Yu frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about If you don't get married, you'll be alone for the rest of your life. I don't want my sister to be lonely" 。“ But I can’t possibly get married! Just thinking about my father, just thinking about all those other women and children out there makes me sick to my stomach! Brother, how can a woman of your standing, with this kind of background, face her in-laws Don't you think they'll point fingers and gossip about us” 。Even if I had a sister who was empress, allowing them to not dare treat me badly in front of others, the disdain and contempt behind their backs would be more hurtful. 。Rather than living that kind of life again, I'd rather be alone and save myself the trouble. 。It's not that bad, it will pass. 。"Ye Feiyu, you think those women outside can hold on for long I reckon it'll only be a year and a half before they all start coming to me." 。Especially those with children, the first to come knocking would most likely be her. 。It's fine if they come, let's solve one by one, finish them all sooner rather than later. Then in another two years, people will gradually forget about this. 。Since there's a major funeral at home, let's postpone discussing the marriage until after it's over. 。"Brother, do you know where Yan'er is going" Ye Qingmei asked, "Is it very far from Lin'an Will she be able to come back" Ye Feiyu was taken aback by her question, "Come back" He shook his head. "I don't know, but I guess so! Although she's not our biological sister, over the past six months or so, we can all feel that she is a very loyal and affectionate child" 。In Lin'an City, there is her home. She has always been the fourth sister of the Ye family, no matter how far she goes, she will always come back. 。Besides, she's going to marry the Emperor sooner or later. When she gets married, she has to move into Yanghua Palace, how could she possibly not go home 。" Night Qingmei relaxed, "That's right, on your wedding day you have to return to Lin'an City, and you have to leave your natal home..." 。Then I'll feel relieved, as long as she can come back. 。I don't know why, but just having her around makes me feel like life has a sense of purpose. 。As soon as she mentioned leaving, my heart started to race. 。Over the past half year, I've grown to both admire and feel sorry for her. She's a truly unfortunate child, and I wonder what she went through in her previous life, how she died. 。We've been so focused on our own affairs that no one has ever cared about her. 。Before, it wasn't explicitly stated, but now that it's clear, I keep thinking about how much hardship she endured in her past life and what kind of people she encountered. I wonder if she still remembers the grudges from her past life, and if so, how she would seek revenge She has helped us so much, and I don't know how to repay her. I feel indebted to her, but it feels awkward to say it outright within the family. 。"

Ye Feiyu let out a soft sigh and patted her, but she didn't know what to say>>> 。Who doesn't know about owing someone But just like Ye Qingmei, since we are all family, if we always bring up the debt, it feels awkward. 。The next morning, Ye Wen got up early and took Zhu'er and Ji Mam to the east courtyard to pay respects to Mu Shi. 。

She didn't sleep for long either. It was past midnight when she left the palace, and by the time she returned to freshen up and change her clothes, it was less than two hours since she had gone to bed.

Ye Chu, Ye Qing Tong and Ye Fei Zhou were also the same, but last night they had promised that no matter how late they slept, they would all get up this morning to visit Mu Shi. 。In the past, whenever the old matriarch was around, there were fixed times for morning and evening prayers. There was no reason why this practice should be broken when it came to Mu's family. 。The eldest member of the household now is Mrs. Mu, so as children, we must keep our own mother in mind. 。Mu is now living in Dongzhai. When Ye Wen arrived, others had just arrived as well. Ye Qingtong was telling Ye Feiyu: "Big brother, when you return, give each hall and courtyard of this house a plaque, like the Xuming Hall at General's Mansion. It needs a name after all." 。And the courtyard where Mother lives should also have a name, one that sounds even better than the former Huayu Courtyard. 。" I think so too," Ye Wen said, immediately taking up the conversation. " There's no shape without lines. After all the plaques are hung and the names are set for each hall and courtyard, this East Mansion will finally feel like a home. " 。Besides, Chu Lian and I also made a plan last night. We're going to move the winemaking and making incense things next door. Anyway, all the houses on this street belong to our family. There's no need to crowd together. 。Moreover, those businesses will all require people in the future, with constant comings and goings from outsiders. It wouldn't be convenient at the East Residence anymore. 。" Good. I think it's a bit inconvenient right now." 。But speaking of it, such a good house used as a workshop is really a waste. How about we look for another place You can keep these houses, they'll all be your dowry in the future! 。"

Yè Wēn yán dōu tīng xiào le, " Jià shénme zhuāng a! Shī lí yuān tā hái néng chà zhè diǎnr Zài le, tā yī gè xiū líng zhě, běn shì bù zài yì nǐ fán jiān de zhèxiē dōngxī, wǒ dài duōshao jiā zhuāng guòqù méi yǒu shénme yìngyì " 。Although the deeds are in my possession, these houses are essentially left for the family. 。She gestured for people to go inside while she spoke. 。Brothers and sisters entered the house, performed a respectful bow to Mu Shi, and then each one sat down with a smile. 。Mu Shi then asked, “What were you two doing in the courtyard just now”Ye Wen said, “We were just discussing how to allocate the houses on this street. I mean, the east house should be left for Mother to live in, and we'll come over every morning to pay our respects. We’ll also often sit here when we have nothing to do.” 。Then, another house was built east of the Dongzhai, for the elder sister and Chulian to make wine and incense. 。As for the other houses, I thought this way: 。There are nine houses on this street in total. The easternmost house is given to the mother, and the next one is used as a workshop. Then there's one house each for the eldest brother, second brother, elder sister, younger sister, and Chu Lian. These can be used as dowries, betrothal gifts, or kept for their children in the future – any of these options are good. 。“Mother, what are you doing That's your land, why did you give it all away”Night Wenyan shook her head, “It’s not mine, it belongs to our family” 。I am the fourth sister of the Ye family. If my mother acknowledges me as her daughter, then she should not give birth to any more children. 。I have no other thoughts, I just hope that all of us can live well, as long as the days to come are peaceful and stable, these material things don't amount to much. 。Mu shi, hearing her words, remembered that Ye Feiyu's daughter was leaving last night. Just thinking about this made his nose sour. 。She took a deep breath, but still couldn't hold it in. She raised her hand and wiped away a tear. 。Ye Qing Tong saw this and said: "Mother, don't cry. Our family is now one for one. No matter what happens, we will bear it together and face it together. As long as we are all together, there is no obstacle we can't overcome." 。As for those mansions, they are indeed external possessions to our family deities. If they're given to us, we might as well take them. I, for one, definitely want them. Whether you want them or not is your own business. 。“She’s done, reaching up to hook onto Ye Wenyan’s neck, “Immortal, I won’t be polite with you anymore!”

Ye Wenyan shrugged and smiled, “When have you ever been polite with me Alright, I still need to get going. Your elder sister and Chu Lian both have important things to do. What about you What do you want to do Of course, you can also just do nothing, stay at home comfortably as the second sister. After all, that’s how all the rich family’s daughters spend their days, there’s no other way.” 。"

Ye Qing Tong waved her hands repeatedly, “I don’t want to! I wasn't someone who could stay home comfortably anyway" 。Don't worry, I'll find something to do. I can help at the clinic or lend a hand to Chu Lian. I won't let myself idle around. 。" Ye Wen stared at her for a while, then remained silent. Ye Qingtong also felt a little guilty and didn't speak any more. 。It was Ye Feiyu who took over the conversation, first mentioning that she wanted to rename and erect plaques for each courtyard in Dong Zhai. Then she said: "A home needs the feeling of a home. I will choose a courtyard for each of you in Dong Zhai, and you can live wherever you like." 。One General's Mansion is a symbol. For us, home is where there is mother. 。As for how to spend the days ahead, I've given it a lot of thought these past few days. The medical clinic and aromatherapy business will definitely continue. Aromatherapy is a woman's business, and besides, there's Empress Dowager's share in it, so Qing Mei Chu Lian, you two handle it yourselves. I won't interfere. 。As for the clinic, I will take on more responsibilities. You don't have to worry too much about it. 。Besides, I only take 10% of the clinic's profits, and the rest goes to both of you. As for Clear Eyes if she also participates in the future, you two can figure out the division yourselves. 。You don't have to argue with me about this distribution of profits. The clinic is doing well, and a fixed percentage is already very substantial. Whether now or in the future, it's enough for me to support my family. 。You girls should keep some money on hand, so that when you get married, you'll have more confidence. 。Moreover, I have no intention of staying here...e have a good look at you... oh my, you're even more beautiful than before." 。“Thank you for the compliment, Granny. I am truly humbled.” 。He finished speaking, then glanced at the few ladies who had...
