Chapter 228 How shameless are you?
Ye Jingsheng wanted to stand up and shout, "How can a First-class General's Mansion be incompetent in both civil and military affairs? You can say that I am not good at civil affairs, but what right do you have to say that I am not good at martial arts? If the First-class General's Mansion is not good at martial arts, then who can be good?"
But although he filmed the case, he didn't get up because he didn't have enough confidence.
The First-Rank General's Mansion is really powerful. If this had happened in the past, given the old general's temper, he would have been able to pick up Lian Shi and throw him out even if Lian Shi had insulted him like this. Because he is really capable and has the confidence and strength to do so.
But what does Ye Jingsheng have? It seems that he has nothing. He is neither good at civil affairs nor at military affairs. Now a general who was granted a title by patronage has been stripped of his official position. Who can look up to him? Seeing that Ye Jingsheng was silent, Lian Shi hummed and said slowly: "This person will always choose one path, either civil affairs or military affairs. What about the one who is neither civil affairs nor military affairs? In the future, when there are big banquets or small banquets, people will ask, what does your family do? What rank are you? You answer, no rank. Then how can they play together? The inner city of Lin'an is full of official residences. Even if there are military merits of old generals and great generals, how many generations can they protect? If parents have used up all the merits of their ancestors, their descendants will be too miserable. Just like this tea, the first brew is strong, the second brew is weak, and by the third and fourth brews, it is almost the same as water. Then can it still call itself tea? Can it be put in the pile of tea?"
Yun Chen continued, "But there are still tea leaves in its bowl, so it can't be allowed into the pile of water."
"That's too embarrassing." Lian Shi sighed and shook his head, "I can't go anywhere. It's so uncomfortable to be stuck in the middle!"
Ye Jingsheng felt his face getting hot. These two people's words were like slapping him in the face. But he had no way to retort. He wanted to say that he should learn martial arts. At such an old age, what can he learn? He wanted to say that he should learn literature? The lessons that he didn't learn well when he was a child, how could he understand them at this age?
He couldn't help but hate Ye Wenyan again. If it weren't for Ye Wenyan, would he be the father-in-law of the emperor now?
Yun Chen guessed what he was thinking, and then he heard Yun Chen say: "Master Ye Er, are you thinking that if the fourth young lady hadn't come back from the suburbs on the second day of the twelfth lunar month and caused that scene, the throne would be the Sixth Prince now, your daughter would be the current Empress, and you would be the father-in-law of the emperor?"
Ye Jingsheng's eyes widened, and he almost suspected that Yun Chen had learned some kind of mind-reading ability. Otherwise, how could everyone know what he was thinking? How could this be possible? In the past, we couldn't say anything casually, so could we not think casually in the future?
Yun Chen laughed after he finished speaking, "Second Master, you really have such a beautiful idea. You don't know yet, do you? At the New Year's Eve palace banquet, someone clamored to see the edict of succession left by the late emperor, wanting to see which prince was the heir to the throne. So the emperor nodded and sent a group of people to get the edict. Guess what happened? The edict clearly stated that the heir to the throne designated by the late emperor was his seventh son! The new emperor today!"
Ye Jingsheng stood up suddenly, with a look of surprise on his face.
When the old lady saw this scene, she hurriedly shouted: "Jingsheng, sit down! No matter which prince the late emperor designated to inherit the throne, it is the royal family's business and has nothing to do with us!"
Ye Jingsheng looked at the old lady. Although he didn't say anything, the meaning in his eyes was very clear. He was asking the old lady if this was true. Was the name of the Seventh Prince really written on the will? Was the Sixth Prince not interested in the throne?
The old lady nodded helplessly, accepting it.
Ye Jingsheng plopped back into the chair, but he didn't sit properly and almost slipped onto the ground.
Xiao's expression also changed, and she twisted the handkerchief with her hands until it was almost broken.
If the Sixth Prince really had no stake in the throne, wouldn't she have sacrificed her daughter in vain? If she had known that the late emperor had no intention of letting the legitimate son succeed to the throne, she would have said that she would never fall out with the first wife and would have let Ye Hongzhuang follow the Sixth Prince's path.
Now she has not only failed to become the queen, but also offended Ye Wenyan. Her whole family has been beaten to a pulp. What is she trying to do?
If I had known this would happen, I would have waited patiently for the new emperor to ascend the throne, and entered the palace after two years. By then, Ye Wenyan would marry the Sixth Prince she liked, and she would not be close to Hongzhuang. With her own ability and the military power of the Ye family, Ye Hongzhuang might be able to win the first prize and become the main empress.
Such a simple path was made so complicated by their family. Weren't they fooled by the late emperor and Empress Dowager Li?
This matter would make anyone depressed, including the old lady, and Ye Jingsheng couldn't recover for a long time.
All the original arrangements now seemed like a joke. They had gone through so much trouble in vain, and in the end, everything was just a mirage, and everything was just as beautiful as they imagined. This was simply ridiculous, and wouldn't people outside be laughing at them?
Yun Chen and Lian Shi were very happy to see Ye Jingsheng and his wife looking so depressed. Lian Shi even said, "Old Madam is really something. You revealed your cards at the palace banquet. Why didn't you tell the Second Master earlier? Look how angry he is. He could easily die of anger."
Yun Chen advised: "Okay, don't be too upset. After all, it's useless to be upset. Who made you misjudge at the beginning? Every failure makes you wiser. Just be more careful next time."
Xiao rolled her eyes. Pay attention next time? How should she pay attention next time? She didn't have a daughter to use for next time.
Ye Qingmei and Ye Feiyu wanted to laugh when they heard these words. If Mu hadn't winked at them to hold it in, they would have probably laughed out loud.
Ye Jingsheng's face was gloomy and his face was a little painful. He had no place to vent his anger. He saw Ye Feizhou sitting silently beside him and got angry. He stood up and hit him. Ye Feizhou was sitting on the side of the second room. He just sat there quietly, looking at the ground, and didn't say anything. Ye Jingsheng's sudden slap on his head made him feel a buzzing in his head and stars appeared in front of his eyes. It can be seen how hard the slap was.
He could have actually dodged, but he didn't, because he was used to being beaten over the years and almost just accepted it submissively.
Then he listened to his father scolding him for not living up to his expectations, saying that if he hadn't lived up to his expectations, the family wouldn't have to rely on his daughter to fight for a future.
He felt that what his father said seemed to be right. He was indeed too disappointing. He could neither take the imperial examination nor fight in battle. He learned martial arts in vain, but ended up helping his family kill someone. It was really useless to have such a son. He was redundant to the family and a burden to outsiders.
His nose felt a little sour, and he didn't know if it was because he was beaten or what, but he just felt uncomfortable.
Ye Jingsheng's scolding had become the background sound. He thought as he listened to the scolding, if it weren't for him dragging him down and making trouble, the Third Prince would have married a wife and concubines, and have many children! How could he be like this at the age of 27, without even a child?
After all, it was his ignorance that delayed others.
Ye Jingsheng cursed loudly, and the more he cursed, the more excited he became. He felt that all the grievances were caused by his son. If it weren't for his son's weird and unpromising behavior, their second house wouldn't be in the current situation. If it weren't for his son's failure to kill Ye Wenyan, they wouldn't have been locked up in Qihua Pavilion for so long and beaten every day.
Also, this son and the Third Prince have an unclear relationship all the time. Whenever he walks outside, people will criticize him and say that he gave birth to an abnormal son.
These are all the reasons why he hates Ye Feizhou, and also the most fundamental reason why he wants to kill his son.
Thinking about this, I felt that scolding alone was not enough, I had to beat him, beat him to death. Beat this son to death, and he would be able to hold his head up in front of others.
So Ye Jingsheng picked up his chair and smashed it on Ye Feizhou's head!
Now Yun Chen and Lian Shi were not happy with this, and neither were Ye Feizhou. Even Mu Shi and Ye Qingmei stepped forward.
Yun Chen said, "What's the matter? What do you mean? You want to kill someone just because I said something to you. Who are you killing for?"
Lian Shi said, "Young Master Ye saved many people when he followed Miss Four in the outer city. He is now regarded as a lifesaver by many people in the outer city. If you dare to smash him, do you believe that someone will block the door of your house tomorrow?"
Ye Qingmei said, "Although my second brother is your son, you violated the law by beating him to death. Are you going to throw our whole family into the lawsuit? Is this the first thing you do when you become the head of the family?"
Mu didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand to hold Ye Jingsheng's wrist. The daughter of a military general's family is not an ordinary woman, she is skilled in martial arts. The strength of her hand was as strong as an iron clamp, and Ye Jingsheng's arm could not fall down at that time. Ye Feiyu took the chair away and told his second uncle: "Maybe our family has no friendship with Feizhou, but my fourth sister always calls him second brother. Last time you broke Feizhou's knee, it was Yan'er who healed it personally. Just for this reason, I can't let you hurt him again. My sister is not a doctor, and she can't just sit there and treat your family all the time, so it's enough for him to be hurt once, don't think about it a second time."
Ye Jingsheng finally realized, that's right! No wonder he felt something was wrong just now. It turned out that the problem was here. Ye Feizhou's legs were all healed. He could stand and walk like usual!
Xiao was also surprised. She couldn't understand how such an injury could be completely healed in just a few days. How did Ye Wenyan treat it? Could it be normal medical skills? Could she have used some kind of witchcraft?
Everyone in the second house was shocked, including Xichun Liu and Ye Chulian. The old lady's scalp was tingling, and she kept repeating "this is impossible, this is impossible" in her mouth.
Lian Shi also got the general idea from what the Ye family said, "So you broke Second Young Master Ye's leg, and then you asked our Fourth Young Miss to heal him? My God! How dare you, Second Young Master Ye! How dare you ask our Fourth Young Miss to clean up your mess! And you want to cause trouble again right after you've cleaned it up. You just don't value the fruits of our Fourth Young Miss's labor!"
Ye Jingsheng was almost doubting his life. He was just teaching his son a lesson, so why did he suddenly encounter so much opposition and obstruction? And it was the people from the first house who came out to stop him. Are these people from the first house sick?
He asked this question directly to Mrs. Mu: "He was the culprit who robbed and killed your daughter! Why did you protect him again and again? Did your brain get squeezed by the door?"
