Chapter 102 Begging at the Door
Ye Shishu's face darkened, and he quickly went over to pull the person away, "Second Brother, mind your manners!"
Ye Shijun finally realized what was happening, turned around and looked at his father and older brother, whose faces were dark, and chuckled awkwardly.
Ye Shiting stepped forward and bowed to Gu Simo, saying, "Miss, I apologize. My younger brother was delirious from the recent loss of his wife and mistook me for someone else. I apologize on his behalf and ask that you forgive him this time, considering his grief over his deceased wife."
Gu Simo turned away awkwardly, not daring to accept his bow!
But when she turned to the side, Ye Shiting thought she was refusing to accept the apology, and he hesitated whether to beat up his brother on the spot so that the girl could vent her anger.
A prince standing nearby couldn't help but cough.
Having successfully drawn the attention of the father and his two sons, he spoke with a stern face, "What, are you not welcoming me, Your Majesty?"
Ye Gengxin and Ye Shiting were suddenly stunned, only then realizing that they had almost forgotten their important business, and that the family was blocking the door!
"Your Highness, please come in." Ye Gengxin hurriedly raised his hand to invite him in.
Ye Shiting glared at his brother beside him with annoyance.
This is ridiculous!
I really need to give him a good beating later!
The group entered the hall.
At his younger sister's prompting, Ye Shijun dismissed the servants, while Wen Yan and Wen Mo stood ramrod straight outside the hall, silently preventing anyone from approaching.
Ye Gengxin and Ye Shiting both noticed something amiss and assumed that Yuchi Ling had something important to discuss with them. Suddenly, the strange woman who had been offended by their second son walked up to them and knelt down with a thud.
"Father, elder brother, I'm so sorry for keeping this from you for so long."
Hearing the girl's self-identification and that familiar voice, the father and son stared at her in astonishment, heads bowed. "You...you're Mo'er?!"
Gu Simo raised her head shyly.
The girl before them was graceful and beautiful, dressed in white with long hair reaching her waist, like a fairy. She was completely different from the familiar face in their minds. Ye Gengxin and Ye Shiting were dumbfounded and puzzled as they looked at her.
"Father, it's like this," Ye Shishu said, offering to explain.
I told them everything.
Upon hearing this, Ye Gengxin was overjoyed. He quickly pulled his daughter-in-law up and said with a smile, "You silly girl, why didn't you tell us about something so important sooner? We almost misunderstood and thought Shi Jun had fallen for someone else!"
Gu Simo blushed with embarrassment.
Ye Shiting rarely smiled, "That's great! Sister-in-law is now a 'miracle doctor,' which is completely different from before. Even we can't tell the difference, and outsiders will not suspect that you are related to the eldest daughter of the Gu family."
Ye Shijun stood beside Gu Simo, put his arm around her shoulder, and reminded her with a smile, "Father, Big Brother, her name is now Hua Xin, so don't call her that again!"
Gu Simo quickly pulled his hand away, glaring at him angrily, "Speak properly, don't be so rude!"
Ye Gengxin laughed loudly.
He never expected that his second son's wife would not only be beautiful, but also be able to keep his second son, who was used to being carefree, in check. This was something he never dared to dream of before!
However, his joy did not last for more than fifteen minutes. Suddenly, a gatekeeper came to report, "General, Madam Fan has arrived with her granddaughter. They are crying outside the gate, wanting to see you."
The cheerful atmosphere in the hall froze instantly.
Without even thinking, Ye Gengxin ordered them to leave, "Get them out of here! Don't dirty my General's Mansion's grounds!"
He was utterly disappointed by the actions of the Fan family. If he could, he would rather not have an aunt like Madam Fan!
If anyone else had used such underhanded tactics on his children, he would have killed them with his own hands!
The guard lowered his head slightly, his tone somewhat troubled, "General, we have already driven them away, but that old lady Fan is crying and making a scene, saying that she wants to kneel to death outside the general's mansion gate and then have you collect her body."
Ye Gengxin's face was extremely ugly.
Ye Shijun couldn't help but sneer, "We didn't expose their evil deeds because she's my father's aunt. I didn't expect her to pull such a stunt and embarrass our General's Mansion."
Ye Shishu said, "Father, eldest brother, second brother, let her in. Let's talk things out openly, so that those who don't know the truth won't be misled by her and think that our General's Mansion is heartless and ungrateful!"
Ye Gengxin thought about it and agreed with his daughter's words, so he ordered the guards to bring in Madam Fan and Fan Yunying.
The purpose of this grandfather and grandson's appearance is obvious.
Ye Shijun had people secretly watching them, and they knew everything about their every move.
Originally, Fan Yunru and Gu Shiya were "matched" by Ye Shijun during the Lantern Festival. The three members of the Fan family thought they had climbed a high branch and were extremely proud. So after being kicked out of the General's Mansion, they arrogantly cut off all contact with the General's Mansion.
But everything changed after Gu Yong was dismissed from his post and stripped of his official rank.
The once high-ranking Grand Secretary is not even as good as the Fan family. At least the son of Old Madam Fan is the magistrate of Youzhou, and Fan Yunru is a candidate for the imperial examination this year. Regardless of whether he can come out on top, his future is at least promising.
What does Kejia have now?
Putting aside everything else, how many men could tolerate Gu Shiya's arrogant and domineering temper?
When Madam Fan arrived, she did not disappoint them at all. She wailed to Ye Gengxin, "Gengxin, Ru'er's marriage to the second young lady of the Gu family is off. Your aunt is about to die. Please help us!"
The three of them, grandfather, grandmother, and grandson, had come to Beijing with the intention of eating and drinking for free at the Ye family's residence, never expecting to be kicked out.
They originally wanted to stand up for themselves and impress the Ye family, but their new backer, the Gu family, ran into trouble. They didn't have much money to begin with, and now they've run out of money, lost their backer, and even their rented courtyard is about to be taken back by the landlord!
"Aunt, didn't the Gu family already arrange a marriage with Yunru? How could such a wonderful match just fall apart like that?" Ye Gengxin asked, feigning ignorance.
"Don't even mention it!" When the Gu family was mentioned, Old Madam Fan couldn't hide her disgust. "Gu Yong was dismissed from his post and lost everything. This marriage is not a good match, so naturally I won't agree! Besides, Gu Shiya has a lot of faults and doesn't even know how to respect an old woman like me. What use is such a granddaughter-in-law?"
