CHAPTER XLVII
With everyone's careful care, Ye Qian got better day by day, and when she left Yuwang's Mansion, she didn't leave any traces on her body and face.
Cleaned with the medicinal juice of Lu Yizheng, changed clothes, King Yu pulled Ye Qian out of the yard, originally the little girl said that she wanted to live for a day, but this time she lived for more than ten days, the two still lived in the same courtyard, King Yu was very satisfied.
Ye Li was guarding outside the courtyard, and his mother could still go in to take a look, but he hadn't seen his sister for more than ten days, and he didn't know if he had been offended.
"Brother!" As soon as Ye Qian went out, she rushed towards Ye Li, she was brought up by Ye Li, and she had never left her brother for such a long time, she thought that she would have to go home to see her, but she didn't expect her brother to come to pick her up.
Ye Lixing's eyes were full of gentle smiles, opened his arms, caught her steadily, picked her up, and handed King Yu a satisfied look, yes, my sister is not thin at all, it seems that they take good care of her.
Ye Qian waved his hand at King Yu, "Brother Yan, I'll come to see you when I go back."
King Yu smiled and nodded, watching Ye Li take her away, if it was in his previous life, he would definitely not allow Ye Li to hug her like this, but in this life, he saw that her relatives were safe and sound, and someone loved her, he was very relieved, his little princess was not a poor and desolate orphan girl, not only protected by him, but also surrounded by family members. As for the old lady and the second master in Nafu, if the Meng clan didn't plan to deal with them, he would have dealt with them personally.
The Meng family had already finished handling the affairs of the mansion, waiting for them in Siyuan Hall, and saw a son and a daughter coming in holding hands, and their eyes fell on Ye Qian's face, yes, it was still the white and tender little daughter, leaving no trace at all.
"Mother!" Ye Qian happily ran to her mother's side, she had been away from home for more than ten days, and she felt kind to everything she saw, let alone her mother.
Meng's fingers touched her bulging cheeks, this time she had to take care of her precious daughter, so as not to let the old lady find another chance to start. The daughter's acne is all cured, and there is no one else in the house, obviously it is not that someone inadvertently infected her, but that there is a problem with the handkerchief held by the old lady's maid that night.
Ye Qian returned safely, and the old lady used an extra bowl of rice in anger, she had already poisoned the Meng family, she didn't dare to poison it again, she only dared to use this method that couldn't be found. But how could things be so coincidental, it happened that she had a seizure when she went to Yuwangfu, if she was at home, she could still think of a way, when she arrived at Yuwangfu, her hand couldn't stretch so long, and she missed a well-arranged opportunity in vain.
Angry and annoyed, but the old lady didn't dare to do it again, first, Meng Shi was strict, Ye Qian came to her, didn't eat or drink, and didn't touch things; The second is to start continuously in a short period of time, and she is also afraid of being caught, after all, Meng's attitude has shown that she is suspected.
Jiping Houfu has had another period of calm days, and after entering the wax moon, Meng has become very busy. The New Year's goods sent by Zhuangzi, the New Year's gifts from relatives and friends, and all courtyards must be thoroughly cleaned, and New Year's food and utensils must be prepared......
On Chinese New Year's Eve, everything that should be prepared was ready, and Meng Shi rested. After lunch, it is the ancestor worship time of Yefu.
Ye Qian was wearing a thick jacket, a cloak embroidered with goose yellow embroidered plum blossoms, and white wind hair around her neck, but it was not cold at all. She took her mother's hand and waited in the courtyard outside the ancestral hall.
Only men can enter the ancestral hall of Yefu, although the women in the house cannot enter, they must stay in the courtyard during the ancestor worship time, and wait for the men to come out after worshipping, and then leave together.
Ye Chenghun looked at the sky, frowned, and said, "Why hasn't the old lady arrived yet?" He pointed out someone to go to Shou'an Hall to take a look, the old lady has been very fat recently, it can't be that she can't walk, right?
Meng lowered his eyes, hiding the sneer in his eyes. The old lady can't come today, she has arranged several dangers on the way from Shou'an Hall to the ancestral hall, she doesn't believe that the old lady is so lucky, she can avoid it. Originally, it was enough to arrange one, but the old lady easily did not leave Shou'an Hall, today is a rare opportunity, she didn't want to miss it, in order to be foolproof, she had to give a few more guarantees.
Soon, the person sent by the second master to check the situation hurried back, panting and saying, "Old lady, she, she fell!" ”
"What?! What's going on?! Ye Chengxun was anxious when he heard it.
"It was said that there was a water stain on the road that was not cleaned and frozen, and the old lady just stepped on it, so she slipped and fell and fainted, and the grandmother of Shou'antang had already sent someone to ask for a doctor."
It turned out to be planted on that ice, the corners of Meng's beautiful mouth were slightly hooked, that ice was a place she carefully selected, her feet stepped on the ice, her legs slid forward, the person leaned back, and behind her was a stone step......
Ye Chengxun secretly said a few bad words, at this moment of ancestor worship, the old lady fell and fainted, and she always felt that it was not a good sign. However, the time to worship the ancestors cannot be delayed, even if the old lady does not come, it must be carried out on time.
Ye Chengxun coughed lightly, "Okay, after the ancestor worship is over, we will go to Shou'an Hall to visit the old lady, and now, I will lead everyone into the ancestral hall." "It stands to reason that it should be led by the eldest brother Ye Chengyuan, but that person is estimated to have been reincarnated, and when he finds a good opportunity to solve Brother Li'er and snatch this title, he will be a legitimate family. As soon as Ye Chenghun thought of his future scenery, he felt full of confidence, raised his head and chest, and prepared to step into the ancestral hall.
"Wait!" A deep and powerful voice came: "This ancestral hall should still be brought in by me!" ”
Meng's body shook suddenly, and tears welled up all of a sudden, it was him! He's back! He's finally back!
Ye Chenghun was stunned for a moment, could it be that Brother Tong'er was competing for a seat with him? Brother Li'er is the son of the world, and he is indeed higher than himself, but he is an elder, and he also has this qualification. Wait, this voice is not Brother Tong'er, he suddenly realized something, and turned away in disbelief.
There was a man standing at the gate of the courtyard, in his thirties, handsome and elegant, tall and straight, dressed in a black coat, just standing there quietly, it made people feel an inexplicable sense of awe in their hearts.
"Big brother! Y-Aren't you dead?! Ye Chenghun was so surprised that his voice was out of tune. He couldn't believe that this was true, how could a person who had been dead for seven years appear in front of him again, could it be because this was an ancestral hall, and the eldest brother had appeared?
Ye Li's starry eyes widened suddenly, and the man gave him a sense of familiarity, but when his father disappeared, he was only seven years old, and seven years had passed, and he couldn't remember his father's appearance clearly.
Standing at the gate of the courtyard was indeed Jiping Hou Ye Chengyuan.
He had been looking forward to returning here since seven years earlier, and after being placed under house arrest by the Empress, he tried to escape several times, and although they failed, he never gave up hope. Fortunately, there is a person sent by King Yu, who should be combined inside and outside, and he finally came back!
Ye Chengyuan didn't look at Ye Chengxun, he looked at Meng Shi standing in the courtyard, seven years have passed, she is still so good-looking, but her beautiful eyes are full of tears, her full lips are trembling slightly, her hand seems to be shaking, and she is holding a smaller hand in her hand.
Ye Chengyuan looked at the little hand, a little girl of seven or eight years old, combed her bun, with a small golden bell tied to her bun, and the fluffy snow-white wind hair on the cloak surrounded her bulging little face, which seemed to be very white and tender, her little pink lips were pursed, and her big black grape-like eyes stared at her in surprise and curiosity.
This must have been his daughter, who was only a year old when he left. "Qianqian?" Ye Chengyuan tentatively spoke.
The little girl immediately smiled, two cute little pear vortices on Bai Shengsheng's cheeks, and her big apricot eyes flashed with surprise, "Daddy!" She let go of Meng's hand and pounced towards Ye Chengyuan.
What a daughter of her own! She's so good-looking, and she's so cute when she laughs! Ye Chengyuan bent down, caught the little daughter who rushed over, and hugged her, "Qianqian!" Her little body is really soft, her little arms wrap around her neck, and her soft cheeks are against her face, Ye Chengyuan has a warm current in his heart, fortunately, he is back.
Ye Chengyuan's big hand caressed Ye Qian's small back, his eyes swept over the stunned people in the courtyard, as well as the sword-eyed, excited and eager young man, and finally landed on his wife's face, smiling slightly, "That's right, I'm back." ”
The small courtyard suddenly became lively.
Ye Chenghun almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood, wouldn't it, he had been carefully planning for so many years, and he was just one Ye Li away, why did the eldest brother who had been dead for seven years come out again? Immediately, a cool breath spread from the soles of his feet, did the eldest brother know that he did it himself? Although he didn't show up, the eldest brother has always been smart and sharp, even if he didn't know it at the time, when he reflected on it afterwards, he would guess that it was him. Will he take revenge?
Ye Chengshu was also very surprised, his eyes swept over the pale Ye Chengxun, although he did not participate in the affairs of the second brother and the old lady, he also knew what he had done to them. I didn't expect this second brother to be so unreliable, and the assassination of Ye Li was unsuccessful, but he ended himself in the prison of the Criminal Department, if Ye Fu hadn't begged the prince, he would have been finished this time. And this eldest brother, who thought he was dead, has now come back from the dead. Second brother, second brother, is there anything you have done successfully? Fortunately, he did not participate in their competition, there is only one title, but there are many official positions, since marrying Mei, his official fortune can be said to be prosperous, which is much better than grabbing the title at home.
The three sisters in the second room were also extremely shocked, Ye Fu was a little older and could control her expression a little, but Ye Rong was so surprised that her eyes and mouth opened the boss, at this moment she realized that Ye Qian also had a father, and her father was still Ji Pinghou, the head of this Hou Mansion, and now, her father is back!
Ye Ji's face was also a little pale, although he didn't know what his father did back then, but from his father's words and deeds to him, he could also guess that the disappearance of the eldest uncle was related to his father, he never felt that there was anything wrong with his father's approach, and he was even secretly grateful to his father for everything he had done, he didn't have to do anything, as long as he waited with peace of mind, sooner or later, he would be the son of Jiping Houshi, the heir of the noble Hou Mansion. Unexpectedly, the eldest uncle came back.
Ye Chengyuan hugged Ye Qian, walked to Meng Shi step by step, stroked her cheeks with slender fingers, wiped the tears from it with her thumb, and said softly: "Don't cry, I'm back." ”
