Chapter 261 Private Meeting
Chapter 261
Ye Yunzhou received a message from his mother today, asking him to return home for a rare family meal. He immediately declined and sent his servants back to report. But in reality, he had no intention of completing the task at hand. He was obsessed with wanting to see what that "heartless" woman was doing.
After hesitating for a while, he came to his senses and hurried back to the mansion. When he got home, he found that they had already finished their meal and had left together. After greeting his parents, he followed them in the direction they left. When he saw the two figures, he saw them walking into the garden. He followed them and was surprised to see such a wonderful scene.
From his angle, he happened to see the two bodies pressed tightly together. If the man was not his biological brother, he would have rushed up and killed him long ago. How could he allow them to be so close?
But the man she was having a secret meeting with was her own brother. He was afraid that if he rushed up and couldn't control himself, no matter which one of them was hurt, he would only feel worse.
Ye Yunzhou clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his flesh. He felt a sharp pain in his heart and a bitter taste in his mouth. No wonder she wanted to draw a line between them. It turned out she had found someone else who suited her heart.
This result was too cruel, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest with every breath. He could no longer bear it, so he turned around and leaped away quickly, fearing that if he stayed any longer, he would strangle them to death.
Luo Shuiyao looked at the wood carving that was gradually taking shape in Ye Yunxing's hands and nodded with satisfaction. If the previous wood carving was only 3% like, then now it was already 8% like. As long as Ye Yunxing carved it more carefully and added some details, the wood carving would be even more exquisite.
When Ye Yunzhou left, Luo Shuiyao turned around and looked at where Ye Yunzhou had just stood, but she didn't see anything. She looked around in confusion, and after confirming that she didn't see anything unusual, she withdrew her gaze, turned around, and continued to instruct Ye Yunxing.
As the sun gradually set, the general shape and direction of the wood carving were determined. Luo Shuiyao then stood up, stretched her stiff body, and said, "It's getting late, let's go back quickly. You can take your time to polish the rest."
Ye Yunxing stood up and blew away the sawdust on the wood carving. After looking at it carefully, he nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "You know what, it really has a cold face like my eldest brother." After saying that, he laughed again.
Luo Shuiyao looked at this boy who was a head taller than her but had a simple mind, and couldn't help but smile. She then said, "Okay, I'll go first. You can come out later to avoid any rumors spreading in the mansion."
Ye Yunxing held the wooden sculpture in his arms. Upon hearing Luo Shuiyao's words, he asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Rumors? What rumors?"
Luo Shuiyao smiled and responded: "It's nothing, but men and women should still be more careful about the separation. I'll go back first."
Having said that, without waiting for Ye Yunxing to answer, he turned and left the pavilion.
Ye Yunxing stayed where he was, scratching his head. He suddenly realized that his behavior seemed a bit reckless. He was a man, so it wouldn't be a big deal if someone saw him. But if some rumors spread about his young master, that would be terrible.
So he hurriedly put the wood carving into the box, cleaned up the wood chips, and then hurried back to his yard.
After sending her son away for returning home late, the Marquis' wife suddenly called out to the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. "Master, I have something to tell you."
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery put aside the military manual he was holding, pretended to listen attentively, and said, "What do you want to say, Madam? I am listening."
Upon seeing this, the Marquis's wife came forward and sat beside him. She sorted out her thoughts and told him in detail about the Right Prime Minister's visit to ask for gifts.
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery listened, his fingers unconsciously tapping the table. He then looked at his wife and said, "The Right Prime Minister only has that one son. If he really becomes the Young Lady of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, he will naturally not treat Yao badly. However, there are some issues with the child. You should ask Yao carefully to see if he is the one she likes. Don't make things difficult for her."
Upon hearing this, the Marquis's wife smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master. I've personally asked Miss Yao about this. She's wearing a heart-shaped necklace given to her by the Right Prime Minister's son. Since she's accepted it, it means she's willing. I also asked her if she truly accepted it, and she nodded in agreement. This is definitely true."
The Loyal and Brave Marquis nodded and said, "In that case, when the Right Prime Minister's wife comes to visit, we must treat her well and let her know that we attach great importance to Miss Yao. This way, they will not dare to look down on her in the future."
"Of course. Tomorrow we're just asking for formalities. It's not appropriate for you to come. Yunxing is still young after all, and I'm afraid he can't reflect the importance our Marquisate attaches to him. I've made up my mind and will let Yuan Zheng come tomorrow."
The Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery nodded in agreement. "That's fine. Yuan Zheng is the eldest son of our Marquisate and is highly regarded by His Majesty. Moreover, he now holds the title of Grand General. It would be most appropriate for him to be the first in line."
