Hou Ye's palm heart is a black lotus

Ye Chutang instructed Xie Anbai carefully, and Xie Anbai remembered every detail clearly.

"Don't worry, I will personally supervise the decoction and make sure there won't be any mistakes."

In the past, the second son of the Xie family was a playboy, but when it really came to the critical moment, he was the one who knew what was important and what was not.

In this respect, he is much better than his brother and sister-in-law who are almost having a falling out.

Ye Chutang smiled and said, "Second Young Master is very careful and attentive, there will be no problem."

Xie Anbai took a deep breath and bowed deeply to Ye Chutang.

"I'm really sorry for being so abrupt today. When my father gets better, I will come to thank him in person."

Ye Chutang didn't care about it.

"It is only natural for the Second Young Master to be concerned about the Marquis. There is no need to thank you. You have helped me several times before. I am only doing my best to help you."

Xie Anbai was grateful and personally sent her to the door.

Ye Chutang said goodbye to him and looked towards the courtyard again.

"The Marquis needs to rest and try not to let anyone disturb him. Some things may not be better left to others than to do them yourself."

Xie Anbai understood what she meant instantly and nodded seriously: "Thank you for your advice, I know."

In the past, in order to avoid suspicion and reduce trouble, he seldom worried about the affairs of the mansion. He spent his days watching flowers and walking birds, enjoying his leisure time.

But this time, his father's illness made him suddenly wake up - the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion was only prosperous on the surface, but in fact it had long been a mess inside!

In the past, Xie Pei was in good health and could maintain peace in the mansion. But this time he suddenly collapsed, and in just one day, the whole mansion was in chaos!
If Xie Anbai hadn't acted decisively and sent someone to invite Ye Chutang, that group of people would probably still be arguing in the room right now!
Realizing this, Xie Anbai felt terrified.

If we continue to allow things to develop as they are, the future of the Marquis’ Mansion… will be in danger!

Ye Chutang stopped talking and said nothing more. He bowed and said goodbye to Xie Anbai.

Xie Anbai stood at the door for a long time, until the carriage disappeared around the corner of the street. He finally came to his senses and for the first time began to doubt his original choice.

He has no interest in fame and fortune, but if someone wants to hurt someone he cares about, then... he will never tolerate it!
Xie Anbai restrained his expression.

"Close the door. From today on, the Marquis' Mansion refuses visitors."

The gatekeepers looked at each other in confusion, very hesitant: "This... Second Young Master, this is probably inappropriate, right? Should we go ask the Crown Prince for instructions?"

Xie Pei is not feeling well, so Xie Anjun should be the one in charge of the mansion. How could it not be Xie Anbai's turn?

Xie Anbai raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this, but there was no smile in the corners of his eyes.

"Why, now I don't even have the right to speak in the mansion?"

"Young ones don't dare!"

Although the servant said this, his feet seemed to be fixed on the spot and he refused to obey.

Xie Anbai's face turned cold.

"If anyone has any objections, please go and tell the prince! I want to see if the prince will abandon the Marquis' health at a time like this?"

This is a very serious statement.

Even Xie Anjun wouldn't dare to take on such a title.

The two servants looked at each other and finally bowed in response.

"Yes."

……

Ye Mansion.

As soon as Ye Chutang came back, Ye Jingyan and Xiao Wu came to greet him.

Ye Jingyan first looked her over, then asked, "Sister, how is the situation at the Marquis' Mansion?"

Ye Chutang smiled and teased, "I'm just going out for a consultation, why are you so nervous? Although the Zhongyong Marquis's Mansion is a wealthy family, I can still go there. Ah Yan doesn't need to worry too much."

Hearing her relaxed tone, Ye Jingyan breathed a sigh of relief. "I just feel that it's not a good idea to be associated with the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion now."

Ye Chutang was walking in. Hearing this, he paused, tilted his head slightly, and asked with interest, "Why do you say that?"

Although the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery no longer has the glory it once had, it is still a powerful place in the capital. Many people are eager to get close to them, but A Yan doesn't seem to think so.

Ye Jingyan looked around and whispered, "I heard that at the banquet to welcome the Wazhen envoys, His Majesty asked the Loyal and Brave Marquis to come forward and negotiate with Wazhen?"

Ye Chutang nodded: "Not bad."

That day, Ayan was attending classes at the Imperial College and did not follow her into the palace, but such things always spread quickly, especially in a place like the Imperial College, which was very sensitive to such news, so it was normal for Ayan to know about it.

Ye Jingyan's brows furrowed slightly.

"Your Majesty seems to have some complaints about the Loyal and Brave Marquis. If he hadn't been upset, he wouldn't have done this. I just don't know where the Loyal and Brave Marquis made a mistake to cause Your Majesty to be like this."

He shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the fact that the loyal and brave Marquis had not yet aged his sword and killed Master Wa, I don't know how His Majesty would have blamed him."

After that, there was silence all around.

Xiaowu raised his head, his black eyes rolling around, but he didn't quite understand what Ye Jingyan was saying.

She was there that day!

But the third brother clearly didn't go, so how come he seems to know the situation better than her who did go?
After Ye Jingyan finished speaking, he didn't wait for Ye Chutang's reply. Seeing that she was just looking at him quietly, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered.

"Sister? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ye Chutang blinked, but slowly smiled.

"It seems that you have learned a lot in the past six months in the Imperial College."

Ye Jingyan was puzzled: "What?"

Ye Chutang smiled and said, "You have been smart since you were young, you have a photographic memory, and you write well. But if that's all, it's not enough."

She looked in the direction of the palace.

Here, you can only see the flying eaves from afar, solemn, noble and elusive.

"To be well-versed in human nature means to be careful and insightful enough to understand people's hearts, so as to be able to deduce the direction of things to the greatest extent possible."

Ye Chutang retracted his gaze and looked at Ye Jingyan with a smile.

"You have been in the Imperial College for such a long time, which has broadened your horizons and expanded your perspective. Even though you have not personally participated in the palace banquet that day, you can infer these things. This is a great improvement."

Ye Jingyan understood and his eyes lit up: "So, sister also agrees with my idea?"

Ye Chutang nodded.

In fact, she felt the same way that day.

It really looked like a test.

"I am not sure of the details yet. But I can tell you that His Majesty did this for his reasons."

Ye Jingyan's mind was racing.

"Could it be because of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and Princess Huaning?"

Ye Chutang smiled but did not answer the question directly.

Gollum—

Ye Chutang looked down and Xiaowu immediately covered his stomach in embarrassment.

Ye Chutang asked, "I've been gone for so long, you haven't eaten yet?"

Xiaowu shook his head and held her hand again.

——I want to be with my sister!
Ye Chutang narrowed his eyes and pinched her little face.

"Okay! Today is the Little New Year, so I'll allow you to have one more piece of sesame candy!" (End of this chapter)
