Chapter 987 (Vast and Profound)
Ye Shen gazed at the starry sky, and after a long while, he said lightly, “Tomorrow, I will go to the imperial court!”
It seems that Father is preparing to seek the Emperor’s help, urging the Emperor to intervene.
This is a good thing, but they fear that Ye Hua might not meet the Emperor. If that happens, the entire Ye family could be doomed.
Wait!
Elder brother is now the Dauntless General of Morality. The Emperor himself acknowledged it in the past, declaring that he and elder brother are like brothers. Everyone heard it, and they hailed the Emperor’s wisdom.
Now that elder brother has returned, can it be said that he is on equal footing with the Emperor?
“Father! Don’t get too agitated!” Ye Chen hurriedly exclaimed, expressing what he had just thought.
Ye Shen, upon hearing this, also calmed down a bit. Youngest brother is right; this matter needs to be clarified with the Emperor.
In the past, the Ye family suffered because of Ye Hua once; this time, they must not let him jeopardise the family again!
Ye Liangcai and Ye Zhe stood by silently, digesting the events of the evening.
Elder brother has become someone not to be trifled with. In the past, he could be teased, even if it meant some banter. But now, even before Ye Shen started speaking, he was being battered by elder brother.
It’s terrifying.
At this moment, Ye Hua is still unaware that the Emperor has already started plotting against him. Ye Hua doesn’t care much about those things; in the Spirit City, he is just a passerby. The only thing he appreciates is the delicious food his mother prepares. In the future, he’ll have Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi learn from her.
Thinking about it, Ye Hua became puzzled.
Why should he make Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi learn?
Isn’t he planning to take his mother to the Voidless Empire?
Having cleared the three dishes in front of him, Ye Hua was content.
Ye Juetian, sitting beside him, was also happy, despite the fact that elder brother had just tricked him.
Le Jing watched as her son devoured the food she made, feeling very pleased. This kind of happiness hadn’t been felt for a long time; it was like fulfilling a wish.
“Little Tian, tidy up a bit,” she said suddenly.
Ye Juetian looked at his mother. Everything happened too quickly; he was caught off guard and couldn’t react. With the focus on the older one, the younger one was forgotten. Mother was too biased; didn’t she realise that the younger one was also hungry…
Ye Juetian had no choice but to tidy up and leave the room.
Suddenly, his eyes brightened. Mother must be sending him away, not wanting him to be a third wheel.
How pitiful… he has become a third wheel now.
In the room, Ye Hua’s heart was a bit nervous again. This woman in front of him was both unfamiliar and familiar. Right now, he didn’t know what to say; chat? It seemed there were no topics to discuss. Or should he call her mother? He wasn’t ready for that yet; he couldn’t say it.
The hands that Ye Hua had placed on the table were held by Le Jing.
Upon experiencing such a gesture, Ye Hua’s whole body trembled.
“Ye Hua, it’s truly wonderful to see you back again,” Le Jing said with a satisfied smile, gently rubbing Ye Hua’s hand and relishing the sensation of that familiar feeling.
Ye Hua remained silent.
Understanding that Ye Hua is currently suffering from amnesia, Le Jing didn’t blame him. Perhaps he felt a bit surprised, but after all, they are mother and son. With prolonged contact, that long-lost feeling would inevitably resurface.
“In my heart, there have always been two regrets, and now one of the regret has ceased. The other one is still there,” Le Jing said, looking at Ye Hua with an unusual smile.
Ye Hua felt uncomfortable under such a gaze, as if she was about to sell him out.
Softly, Le Jing continued, “Yuqing is a good girl, Ye Hua, can’t you understand that you owe her something? Mother now has only one request, and that is to give Yuqing a perfect ending.”
“I’m married,” Ye Hua said indifferently. His feelings towards Qian Yuqing were unclear. If she were treated as a collectible, she would indeed be worth keeping. But if it came to love?
Ye Hua felt that it hadn’t reached that level. Qian Yuqing seemed to have a fondness for his past self, but unfortunately, he was no longer that person. This was destined to be a karmic relationship.
Uh… maybe that was a bit too much. If he could collect her like Daji, it might be worth considering. However, it’s impossible to treat her like Qing Ya and the others.
Ye Hua and Qian Yuqing had no emotional connection.
Ye Hua was also deceiving himself. If he truly didn’t like her, why did he save her in the palace that day? And why did he let her take advantage of him, hugging her?
It should be noted that Ye Hua is a man with cleanliness habits. He wouldn’t touch an ordinary woman. If he could touch her, she would be at the level of national beauty.
Le Jing sighed softly, “Ye Hua, after so many years outside, being married. But mother wants to tell you, Yuqing has sacrificed too much for you. You can’t hurt her heart, understand?”
So many people said that Qian Yuqing had sacrificed a lot for him, making him almost believe it.
Of course, Ye Hua did believe it. This woman was willing to die just to see him once; it would be fake to say that it didn’t move him.
But after all, he is a man. But can he be easily won over by you? Wouldn’t that make him seem frivolous?
Moreover, even if you want to pursue him, you need to spend some time with him to see if you have the qualities of a wife.
Watching his son in a daze, Le Jing asked gently, “Ye Hua, did you hear what mother said?”
“Oh? Hm?” Ye Hua was momentarily stunned, speaking with a puzzled tone.
However, Le Jing didn’t detect any hesitation, thinking that Ye Hua had agreed. She instantly laughed playfully, “Ye Hua, you’re truly a good son to mother. Yuqing, having you as a husband, will surely be happy for a lifetime. Her sacrifices have finally paid off.”
Ye Hua stared blankly at his mother.
What did he just say?
Chinese characters are profound and extensive, with different pronunciations representing different meanings. Even a single character can have different interpretations in various contexts.
For example,
Cǎo! [In a literal sense, “Cao” refers to grass or vegetation. In informal language and internet slang, “Cao” is sometimes used as a substitute for a more explicit word. It’s a way of expressing frustration or disbelief without using explicit language.]
This character is so profound; even I, the deity, like it.
Who doesn’t like the beauty of flowers and plants? You humans with problematic thoughts, I, the original, am still pure enough.
But I really didn’t say anything just now.
“Ye Hua, have a good night’s sleep tonight, and tomorrow go find Yuqing. You know, she has been waiting for you for a thousand years. Don’t let her wait any longer. Mother feels sorry for Yuqing.”
Ye Hua didn’t know how to respond. Should he reject it now?
I, the deity, always keep my word, and it’s unshakable like Mount Tai.
But did I, the deity, just say that?
This is a contradictory combination.
“Ah, brother, you’ve finally come to your senses! Sister-in-law has finally waited for this day. It’s really great!” At this moment, Ye Juetian suddenly ran out and exclaimed.
