Chapter 297
Hearing the eldest son's accusation, the Marquis's face was a little embarrassed. Hearing this, she said angrily, "You child, if I hadn't misunderstood Yao girl's intention, how could you agree?"
The Marquis's words were not false. She had indeed considered marrying Luo Shuiyao off to a random family, thus putting an end to her son's desire for her. However, she had only thought about it. After all, if she really did so, not only would she be embarrassed to explain to her eldest son, but the Marquis would also be unfavorable to her. How could she be so reckless? Besides, putting aside the girl's relationship with the eldest son, the Marquis was very fond of her behavior and character, not to mention that she had saved the youngest son.
Thinking of this, the Marquis' wife felt a little guilty. "Now isn't the time to discuss this. The most urgent thing is to figure out how to reject the Right Prime Minister's wife. If I don't handle it well and anger her, it might not be a problem for my family. At worst, we can just stop interacting with her. But I'm afraid it will damage Miss Yao's reputation."
Hearing his mother change the subject, Ye Yunzhou didn't dwell on the matter. He glanced at Luo Shuiyao, whose brows were furrowed, and then met the eyes of the Loyal and Brave Marquis. "Dad, what do you think we should do?"
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was no fool. After today's turmoil, he finally understood why his eldest son had been so protective of Miss Yao. Looking at Miss Yao's expression, he sighed inwardly. His wife had gone through so much trouble, and the matter between his eldest son and Miss Yao was likely to cause his eldest son quite a headache. However, children have their own blessings, and as a father, he couldn't interfere too much in his children's emotional affairs, so he could only nod.
"What do you think we should do? Your mother and I will fully cooperate with you."
Ye Yunzhou didn't notice his father's desire to laugh at him, so he simply nodded. After a moment's thought, he said, "You and Mother should go to the front yard to entertain the Right Prime Minister's wife and get the servants out of the way. Cousin Yao and I will follow and apologize to the Right Prime Minister later. I think as long as we are sincere enough, even if the Right Prime Minister is unhappy, she won't be so cruel as to ruin Yaoyao's reputation."
"Row."
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery agreed without hesitation. Before leaving, he glanced at his young son, who was staring blankly at them. He then took his wife in his arms and led her out. As they walked, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery reminded him, "Don't forget to send your brother back. Leave the rest of the matter to us."
It was only then that Ye Yunzhou remembered that there was another Ye Yunxing in the courtyard. The two brothers looked at each other. Ye Yunzhou looked at his younger brother's accusing eyes without any guilt in his heart. He said, "I'll take you back and lie down. Have a good rest."
Unexpectedly, Ye Yunxing shook his head repeatedly and refused: "Wait, brother, don't send me back yet. Can I ask what your relationship with Cousin Luo is?"
"She is your sister-in-law."
"It doesn't matter."
Two voices came at the same time, making Ye Yunxing's eyes look even more strange. He looked around at the two of them and couldn't help asking: "So, big brother, do you really have something going on with cousin Luo?"
Ye Yunzhou actually heard Luo Shuiyao's words clearly. He just glanced at her with a puzzled look, and then said, "You are still young and don't understand these things. I will take you back."
After saying that, he ignored Ye Yunxing's shouts of objection and carried him and the chair into the house.
After a while, no one knew what Ye Yunzhou said to Ye Yunxing, but the room gradually quieted down. Soon, Ye Yunzhou came out alone. He glanced at Luo Shuiyao, who stood there in silence, and said, "Let's go. I have something to ask you."
After saying that, he stretched out his long legs and walked straight outside. Hearing this, Luo Shuiyao retracted her gaze that was originally looking into the void, hesitated for two seconds, bit her lip, and followed.
In this way, the two walked one after the other. Under Luo Shuiyao's careful attention, they kept a distance between them. Only when they reached a large tree did Ye Yunzhou stop.
Seeing this, Luo Shuiyao stopped and hesitated for a while, but finally walked forward. Firstly, this was the only way to the main hall; secondly, the view from here was open, so he probably wouldn't dare to do anything.
Ye Yunzhou stood under the tree, hands behind his back, watching Luo Shuiyao from afar. He could clearly see the struggle and hesitation in her expression. He could guess a little about what Luo Shuiyao was thinking, but he was not in a hurry. He knew that Luo Shuiyao was intelligent. Sure enough, after a moment's hesitation, she walked towards him.
As she approached, Luo Shuiyao met his deep gaze. She lowered her eyes slightly uncomfortably and asked softly, "Brother, do you... have something to tell me?"
Hearing Luo Shuiyao's change back to her old address, Ye Yunzhou muttered the word "Big Brother" to himself, feeling both angry and amused. This girl, whenever something happened, she wanted to hide in her shell, unwilling to face it.
But this matter was also his fault. He was too impulsive and believed others' words without any concrete evidence. When she needed him the most, he was not only unable to accompany her, but also failed to give her enough sense of security.
As he thought about this, the slight displeasure that had risen in his heart dissipated. Looking at the whorl of hair on her head, his tone softened a bit, "Whether you are in the Marquis' Mansion or not, I will treat you the same as before. Now I just want to ask you, are you really not interested in the young master of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?"
As he spoke, his tone was filled with a hint of temptation. "You know, although the Right Prime Minister's son may be slow in speech, he is the Right Prime Minister's only son. Even if he doesn't enter the government in the future, if you follow him, you will naturally have no shortage of wealth and honor. Have you... thought it through?"
"What if I haven't thought it through?" Luo Shuiyao raised her head and stared at him when he asked her this. Although she had already made up her mind to distance herself from him, she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when she heard him pushing her away so impatiently.
She naturally had never seen the man in front of her. On the surface, he seemed calm and normal, but his hands behind his back were clenched tightly, and the bulging veins showed that his mood was not as calm as he looked.
Ye Yunzhou's question wasn't meant to test her, but to clarify her inner thoughts, so as to avoid being too arbitrary and causing her to resent him. However, as soon as the words left his mouth, they involuntarily deviated towards probing.
As soon as he said that, he felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have done that. But when he heard Luo Shuiyao's answer, his eyes fixed: "No."
"What?" Luo Shuiyao didn't understand what he meant.
"I said no, even if you have thought it through, I will not allow you. You promised me that you would marry me. A woman cannot marry two husbands. Have you forgotten?" His eyes gradually became dangerous.
