Chapter 148: Encounter

  How pitiful is the little fox after being caught?

  Although his moral integrity is not great, Fourth Master is not someone who likes to bully people, so Little Fox's tears moved him and he couldn't bear to do it.

  So, on the next day, Ye Zao woke up and was able to return to Jin Yu Ge in good condition.

  Ye's family, Ye Feng received the letter and looked forward to meeting his sister tomorrow.

  He went to find his uncle early in the morning, he didn't have confidence, knowing that it wouldn't be easy for his sister either, what if they couldn't meet?

  Sister only said to call him and uncle into the mansion, specifically to have someone else notify them, just calling him to find uncle would be fine.

  When Ye Feng left, Qi Tianyun said: "This afternoon, we will enter the mansion, and there will be someone to take us to see the young lady, you don't need to rush."

  In three days, it will be the big wedding day and Ye Feng is also very busy.

  "It's just... seeing it like this, won't it be bad?" Must always think about sister's hardships, right?

  In the afternoon, the two nephews went to the Beile Mansion and entered the front yard from the corner gate. No one arranged for them to pay their respects to the Fourth Master, but instead they were taken to a room where tea and refreshments were served while they waited.

  The two of them, one was a scholar and the other a merchant. The scholar was somewhat more noble, but when it came to kowtowing, even if he did so to a prince, it didn't amount to much.

  Ye Zao also came, and Fourth Master saw her without deliberately dressing up. Instead, he was holding a box: "What is it?"

  Ye Zao opened it and found a set of jewelry, which Siye had never seen before.

  "Give it to your brother?"

  "Brother is going to have a big wedding, it's what I wish for." Ye Zao said.

  Fourth Master nodded and asked Su Peisheng to bring another set of tea utensils and a set of four treasures of the study. They were all good ones.

  "Give it to your brother in your name." There is only one set of jewelry, and it's a bit shabby.

  Ye Zao gladly accepted and thanked Fourth Master before going to see her uncle and brother.

  As soon as he saw Ye Zao, Ye Feng's eyes turned red.

  That bastard deceived and took away my sister, and it's been over a year since she left!

  Fortunately, my sister looks fine; otherwise, I would have been so angry that I would have liked to beat that scoundrel to death with my own hands!

  "Uncle, brother." Ye Zao considered it the first time he met Ye Feng after crossing over, but the original owner's memories were vivid and not unfamiliar.

  "Sister..." Ye Feng called out, his voice choking with emotion.

  "Brother, how are you? Everything is fine at home, I'm doing extremely well. This is a gift for your wedding, brother, please accept it."

  "Alright, Feng Ge, don't be like this, what will Big Sister say?" Feng Tianyun said with a smile.

  Ye Feng nodded and finally sat down to talk properly.

  "I understand what's going on at home." Ye Zao sighed: "Brother, don't think too much about it. One's own path is always walked by oneself. The Ye family didn't have much property to begin with, whether or not you inherit it doesn't matter."

  Ye Feng was taken aback for a moment, remembering that his sister was weak and timid, so he couldn't bring himself to say it.

  This more than a year, probably didn't eat less bitterness, just...

  The more I think about it, the more I hate that Qi Tai.

  "Uncle will support you, you are going to take the imperial examination path, and in the future, whether it's good or bad, it's all up to your own efforts. Now that you've married Eldest Sister, just live a good life." Ye Zao said.

  "My sister is right... but how can I bear to call uncle for support all the time?" Ye Feng lowered his head.

  "These words, you're being too polite, how has your uncle treated me? Your words have made your uncle feel uncomfortable. I'm not being polite." Ye Zao thought to himself, with an uncle like this, the entire Ye family is well taken care of.

  Adding Naseem's family, there is no one who can compare with this uncle.

  The means are far from enough.

  Feng Tianyun smiled and said: "Big girl says so, uncle is happy."

  "Last time, Big Sister insisted on returning the silver, which made Uncle's heart ache." said Feng Tianyun.

  "I'm not lacking now, to be honest with my uncle and brother, the fourth master is very good to me now, it's not an exaggeration to say that he dotes on me the most. However, I am after all just a concubine, things being good now doesn't mean they'll be good in the future. Even having children won't change this easily. So, I hope my natal family will do well, Ama is not someone to rely on, brother can only protect his sister if he advances."

  A concubine, if she has a strong family background, is different.

  "Sister... Brother will definitely make progress!" Ye Feng hurriedly said. Even if his sister was spoiled, with so many people above her, it wouldn't be easy for her either.

  Besides, it's not certain that the younger sister will be spoiled, and it's also unknown whether comforting them is effective.

  "Brother, today I'll tell you the truth. In the past, since there was only one son in our family, it didn't matter whether he was born to a wife or a concubine."

  "It's different now. Brother, you must have a plan in mind. In these few years, after brother got married, he should be prepared that it's inevitable to separate households eventually. It can't be that brother listens to younger brother for his whole life."

  Later, Ye's family must have been that little Ye Heng.

  "Sister's words, brother remembered." Ye Feng nodded.

  My sister means there's no need to compete with Ama anymore.

  "I won't keep you long either. If there's anything, Uncle can just send a message in, as long as it's straightforward and aboveboard." Yezao said clearly, then stood up.

  The two responded in unison and watched as Ye Zao left.

  It's also not good to stay for too long. Feng Tianyun handed a purse to the eunuchs at the door: "Please trouble you, sirs. Please have some tea."

  The eunuch smiled and thanked him, his light and airy lotus-leaf pouch made him very satisfied.

  As expected, after sending away those two relatives, when opened, inside was a silver note worth one hundred taels.

  This Ye girl's relatives are really generous!

  Feng Tianyu and Ye Feng left the mansion, then Feng Tianyun smiled and said: "It's not that your uncle is laughing at you, but your sister is more formidable than you. You don't need to worry about gains and losses in this matter. One day when you have an official position, it will be good to avoid mentioning your sister."

  "Thanks, Uncle, but it's easier said than done. Well, just work hard then." Xie Feng thought to himself, his sister's meaning... was the same as his uncle's.

  Feng Tianyun couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart. As the saying goes, "the nephew is like the uncle" and "the niece follows her aunt", but this time it was the opposite.

  Her niece is like him, after all, this nephew still has half of his temperament inherited from Ye Mingyuan.

  Fortunately, it's only half and can still be trained.

  Ye Zao has met his uncle and brother, then went to thank Fourth Master.

  "Grandpa, thank you grandpa."

  "Left?" Fourth Master raised his head from the desk.

  "Hmm, I'm leaving. Is Grandfather busy? Then I'll head back first?" Ye Zao asked.

  "Come and sharpen it," said Fourth Master.

  Ye Zao responded with a sound.

  Fourth Master was indeed busy, so Ye Zao ground his ink, he just kept writing and drawing without saying a word.

  After a while, Ye Zao couldn't hold on anymore, but still endured.

  After two more quarters, she really couldn't take it anymore, her hands were shaking.

  Fourth Master raised his eyes and saw her small face twisted, hands shaking...

  "Alright, alright, tired and don't know when to stop?" Fourth Master lost his smile, she indeed had never served as a scribe.

  Fourth Master is busy, sometimes writing all day, no time for this hand, can't serve.

  What has Little Fox done?

  Pull her over, hold her in her arms, and rub her wrists: "Foolish?"
