Chapter 139: Reaction

  When these words came out, Pan's wife and her daughter-in-law were obviously stunned, then looked at each other in dismay. Please remember the URL of this site:. They are all women in the inner house, but they have never heard of Ye Zhuo's things about carving. Just now seeing Nie Bowen coming here, I felt a little unbelievable, Chapter 139 can be humble and arrogant, with a super thick skin. She annoyedly swung her handkerchief at the two daughter-in-laws and said, "Let's go home." When she walked to the gate of the courtyard, she dared to whisper: "It's just that he looks better, and Nie Gongzi found an excuse to take him to the Nie family to play. In the end, I'm afraid I won't even be able to mix with a concubine, what's the fuss about?"

  "Mother!" The young daughter-in-law behind her pulled hard on her sleeve.

  Mrs. Pan looked up to see a woman in her forties, with a beautiful appearance and wearing a lotus-colored embroidered jacket, standing at the gate of the courtyard, staring at her with piercing eyes, obviously having heard what she had just said. Mrs. Pan's heart suddenly felt both regretful and shocked. What she had just said not only ruined Ye Zhuo's reputation but also tarnished Nie Bowen's name. If it were to be spread around, it would be terrible. She hastily put on a flattering smile and asked the woman, "This is the Ye family residence, has this lady mistaken the door?" In her heart, she prayed that this person had indeed taken the wrong path.

  However, today Pan was out of luck. The one standing at the door was Sakura, who had come to pick up Ye Zhuo. She was an old palace maid who had been in the palace since she was 12 or 13 years old and had become a seasoned veteran. With a hint of a smile, she looked at Pan and said: "I didn't go to the wrong door, I'm here on the orders of my mistress to find Miss Ye Zhuo at the Ye residence. You are the lady of which household? What is your relationship with the Ye family?"

  "Madam?" As soon as Pan heard this word, he was so scared that his soul flew away. In Nanshan Town, those who can be called "madams" are countable on one's fingers. And looking at the clothes and demeanor of this servant, only Nie Bao Wen's mother, Madam Nie, could afford to summon him. Well, this time he had really gotten himself into trouble, completely done for.

  "I, I'm just a neighbor from next door, casually strolling around, hehe, taking a walk." Mrs. Pan stuttered and smiled awkwardly, tiptoeing past Sakura's side and quickly disappearing around the corner. Whatever happens next, let's go home first. Let the men handle these things.

  Guessing that Sakura would arrive soon, Ye Zhuo, although talking to Guan Shi in the house, told Qiuyue to keep an eye on the gate. At this time, she had already received the news and came out to greet her: "Sakura, I'm ready, we can leave at any time. Would you like to come in for a cup of tea first?"

  "No, I came to tell Miss Ye that the mistress was probably tired yesterday and is feeling lazy today, so we won't be going out for a stroll. Perhaps Miss Ye is also resting at home."

  Ye Zhuo secretly let out a sigh of relief. Nie Bowen's visit to the Ye family, she didn't believe it could be kept from Gu Chen. She had already prepared herself to tactfully explain and make amends. However, now that Gu Chen was saying he was ill, whether it was true or false, it was all good news for her. This matter, everyone understood but didn't openly discuss, saving each other's face, which was the best outcome.

  "Is there anything uncomfortable for you? Do you want me to call a doctor?" Although she knew that these were not her concerns, Ye Zhuo still asked with concern.

  "It's nothing uncomfortable, just tired. Rest for a day and it'll be fine." Sakura smiled and said, "Then Ye girl, you also rest well, I'm going back."

  Ye Zhuo politely declined a few times and sent them off at the alley entrance before returning.

  Guan's family only knew that Gu Dun was a noblewoman from the capital, and seeing Ye Zhuang's beauty, invited her to play at their mansion for half a day, and then asked her to accompany them on a leisurely stroll. At this time, seeing Ye Zhuang not going out, nor asking for the reason, happily said: "I will send someone to the workshop to call your grandfather back. You being accepted as an apprentice by Nie Da Shi is a great joyous event. Let's discuss whether we should hold a few tables of wine and celebrate."

  "Calling Grandfather back is fine, but let's forget about the wine ceremony. I haven't even paid my respects to Master Nie yet, and now it's all stirred up, if Master Nie becomes displeased, he won't want me as his disciple, that would be terrible."

  Mr. Guan slapped his forehead: "Right, right, it was my oversight, I got carried away with the excitement. This wine party must be held, but it has to wait until you've paid your respects to your master." He then went to the alley entrance and sent Wei Daxiang to the workshop to call Ye Yiqi.

  Since Ye Zhuo said that this matter should not be spread, Guan Shi did not say anything to Wei Da Xiang. So when Ye Yu Qi came back, he didn't know what had happened. As soon as he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw Ye Yu Zhang walking towards him with a red face. Ye Yu Zhang cupped his hands and shouted loudly: "Big brother, why have you come back at this time?"

  "Oh, your sister-in-law sent someone to call me, I don't know what happened at home." Ye Yuping replied. He didn't find it strange to see his brother here. Since Ye Yuzhang found out that Zheng Shi was going to marry Yang Jianxiu, he had been coming to the main house every now and then to visit and build relationships. As for asking Ye Zhuo to help him design jade materials, he understood that Ye Zhuo was participating in the Jade Carving Competition and didn't mention it at all, very carefully trying to curry favor with the people of the main house. Although Ye Yuping disliked his brother's behavior, he tolerated it out of familial affection.

  "Big brother, are we going to have a wedding or something?" Ye Yuzhang walked up close and asked with a smile.

  "Getting married? Where did you get that from?" Ye Yuqi asked in surprise.

  "Big brother, don't try to deceive me. Just now when I came out, I heard the woman at the corner door say that Nie Gongzi came to your house today, which can't be a good thing, right? Big brother, once you've made it big, don't forget to bring along your younger brother! Not to mention anything else, how about giving me half of the original stone from the Nie family? Our household has many people and large expenses, so half is really not too much."

  These days I've been feeling unwell with a cold, it's really miserable. The student certification exam is approaching and I'm busy. After taking some cold medicine, now my head is spinning and everything is blurry. I managed to write one chapter and put it up, but I really can't hold on anymore, no way to proofread. Will check again tomorrow.

  (Thank you for your support, it's my greatest motivation.)
