Chapter 14: Letter from the Imperial Capital

Ye Chen retracted his thoughts, although for the time being, he still didn't know what the reason for what happened last night, and what kind of relationship the man in black had with the Ye family.

But at this moment, he knew that if he didn't go back, he would be found by the Ye family sleeping outside all night.

It's not a big deal to not go home at night, but now I'm home......

Ye Chen dodged all the way, and finally returned to the courtyard where the new house was located without anyone noticing.

However, the moment he stepped into the courtyard, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him.

"You, where did you go last night?"

Ye Chen turned around slowly, and found that Su Qinxue was holding a wooden plate in her hand at the gate of the courtyard, her eyes were looking at her coldly, like an ice flower with spikes, the moment people were fascinated by the fragrance of flowers, and they also felt palpitations for the cold.

"I ...... last night in the guest room. Ye Chen concealed everything that happened last night and said, "You didn't sleep well last night?" ”

The boy who has been observing the subtleties has found that the girl who has taken off her makeup is already without makeup, although there is almost no difference between before and after makeup, but she still sees a shallow flaw under those beautiful eyes.

"Hmm." Su Qinxue responded and said, "Your maid named Qingyin, she doesn't sleep quietly, I'm not used to sleeping in the same bed with others, so I woke up earlier." ”

As she spoke, she raised the wooden tray in her hand, "This is the tea tray needed for tea ceremony, I brought it from the back kitchen, and in half an hour, you will follow me to Grandpa Ye Zhan's place to serve tea." ”

"Tea ceremony?" A slight suspicion appeared on Ye Chen's face.

It's not that he doesn't know the etiquette and customs of serving tea on the second day of the wedding, but he didn't expect Su Qinxue to act so actively, go to the back kitchen in advance to get a tea tray, and then wait for him in the courtyard.

This made the young man who felt that Su Qinxue didn't respect him very much and felt cold yesterday, and suddenly felt that the wife he was marrying was just like what he said yesterday, she simply didn't like herself.

Arranged marriages are really a dross culture!

Ye Chen complained in his heart, and then took the tea tray in Su Qinxue's hand with a smile, wanting to try to call Mrs. or something like that, but he still couldn't say it all of a sudden.

He paused for a moment and asked, "How about I call you Xue'er in the future?" ”

"It's all right, a title, no need to think too much." Su Qinxue replied coldly and walked past Ye Chen's side.

Ye Chen stood in place and tugged at the corners of his mouth, "Well, it makes sense, but I think about so many titles in a second, can I see this?" ”

He squinted and smiled, turned around and followed Su Qinxue, and entered the room together.

In the room, Qingyin was asleep on the bed quilt, and the girl's sleeping posture was not quiet as Su Qinxue said.

But Qingyin is really only a fourteen-year-old girl, and she never needs to be bound by the rules and regulations of those young ladies.

Ye Chen walked to the side of the bed, looked at the sleeping Qing Yin, a slight smile appeared on his face, he glanced at Su Qinxue, and whispered, "I worked hard for you last night." ”

Su Qinxue didn't respond, just sat on the stool next to the table, her eyes looking at the broken rockery in the courtyard outside the window.

After a moment, she asked, "Did someone come to the courtyard last night?" ”

"What? What people? Hearing this, Ye Chen didn't hesitate, and asked rhetorically, "Why do you say that?" ”

"The rockery in the yard, it was good when I came, but it was bad when I got up this morning, and it was the sound it made last night, so I walked out and saw you and Miss Qingyin hugging each other......" Su Qinxue blurted out as if she was reminiscing.

But that's all he said, and he stopped.

"How long have you known her?" Su Qinxue asked.

She refers to Qing Yin.

"More than ten years?" Ye Chen thought for a while and replied, "I've known each other since I was a child." ”

"Childhood sweetheart." Su Qinxue paused for a moment and said, "It's so good." ”

Ye Chen frowned, her childhood sweetheart was good, but she didn't understand what Su Qinxue meant by saying this.

He wanted to ask, but he didn't have time.

Su Qinxue slowly stood up, picked up the tea tray on the table, and said, "The time has come, it's time to go and serve tea." ”

With that, the girl was about to go out.

However, at this moment, the shouts of the family suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

"Patriarch! Patriarch! ”

Hearing that he was calling himself, Ye Chen walked out of the room quickly.

A family member stepped across the courtyard gate and saw Ye Chen come out, his hurried steps quickened, he held a letter in his hand, and said loudly: "Patriarch! There's a letter from the imperial capital Ye Zong! Ye Lao asked me to call you to the guest hall! ”

……

……

Ye Chen changed into a white robe, took the letter sent by the family, and walked into the Ye family's guest hall.

At this time, everyone in the Ye family had a tense face, including Ye Zhan, who was sitting on the side of the main seat, also had a solemn expression, it seemed that there was very bad news from the imperial capital.

Seeing Ye Chen, Ye Zhan stood up, and then the elders of the Ye family also got up, and they said in unison: "Patriarch! ”

Ye Chen nodded, walked to the side of the main seat of the guest hall, glanced at everyone, and hugged his fists towards Ye Zhan and said, "Grandpa, the news from the imperial capital, Chen'er has already read it." ”

Ye Zhan snorted, and said in a dull tone: "What countermeasures does the patriarch have?" ”

"There's no way, since there's a letter from the imperial capital saying that the clan conference will be held in advance, then we'll go ahead of schedule." Ye Chen put the letter on the table and said with a smile: "Otherwise, everyone has made so many preparations, wouldn't it be in vain." ”

"That's the case, but the patriarch you were just newly married yesterday, and if it is the clan assembly after half a month, wouldn't you be ...... patriarch?"

"Patriarch, there is always something to sacrifice at critical times." Ye Chen raised his hand and interrupted the proposal of a Ye family elder.

He didn't want to mention his wedding, after all, the marriage was not concluded, and it didn't matter.

"Do you have any worries right now?"

The guest hall fell silent, Ye Chen slightly re-examined the reactions of the people around him, and said again: "If you have anything to say, I advocate public decision-making, just speak freely." ”

The voice fell, and on the side of the guest hall, a more modest man walked out.

Ye Jiang.

Ye Hyun's fourth brother.

After the collapse of Ye Hong and Ye He's forces, he is now the new Great Elder of the Ye family.

He hugged his fist towards Ye Chen, and said bluntly: "The Ye family now has only one young junior, the patriarch, and your realm is already in the late stage of the forging realm, even among the young juniors of the Ye clan in the imperial capital, you can be regarded as a cultivation genius......"

"But I heard that there is a young junior named Ye Guo in the clan lineage, who is already in the realm of Qi Induction, and some people in the imperial capital don't want us to return to Ye Zong, I'm afraid that they will secretly arrange for the patriarch to fight with that Ye Qian......"

"Then Ye Jiang ......" Ye Jiang didn't finish his words.

Next to the main seat of the guest hall, Ye Chen smiled slightly and interrupted: "Fourth uncle, then what realm do you think of me?" ”
