【Grave Robbers' Chronicles】The Smoke and the Return of the Soul

"Sir, the young master wants to see you." The servant stood at the door and reported to Ye Cangting who was handling affairs in the study.

"Come in," a slightly tired voice was heard.

When Ye Cangbing stepped over the threshold, he saw his father rubbing his temple, so he bowed and said, "Greetings, father."

"Well, what's up?"

"What does it mean to ask father?"

"What do you mean?" Ye Cangting put down his hand and looked up at him.

"Father, you should know that your plan to take a concubine has probably spread all over the house."

"So what? Do I need to report to you if I take a concubine?"

"Where are you going to put your mother's face?"

"Why should I ask your mother about this? Look around the entire demon world and you will see which guardian has three wives and four concubines in his mansion. You will be like this in the future!"

"What's so good about this? And how can you say it to grandpa? You have been supported by grandpa to get to this point. Who was it that spoke well of you to the Demon Lord? Who was it that made you plead for him and gave way to the other guardians? Who was it that shared the blame for your mistakes? Grandpa just didn't want mother to live a life of grievance with you. Now you are clearly going against grandpa. What do you think..."

"Shut up, you can't comment on the affairs of your elders."

"Father, please think twice!"

"Get out, don't worry about this."

"Father, please calm down and don't get sick from being angry. I'll leave right away." Ye Cangbing was afraid that Ye Cangting would get hurt by being angry, so he had to leave first.

Ye Cangbing walked out the door and called to the servant guarding the door, "Go and bring His Majesty a cup of hot tea."

The servant immediately ran in. Ye Cangbing was standing at the door, but he heard someone say from inside, "How dare you... I, Ye Cangting's son, make irresponsible remarks about my elders... You don't know etiquette... cough cough cough..."

"Your Majesty, please calm down. The young master was confused for a moment, so he went against you. Do you need a doctor to take a look?"

"Forget it. It's just that my practice has been a little unstable recently. It's nothing serious. I will be fine after resting for a while." Ye Cangting patted his chest and calmed down.

"You should take care of yourself. Although you have a lot of government affairs to deal with, you should also give yourself time to rest. Besides, you will be busy soon. By the way, the kitchen has just caught a new silver carp. I will bring it to you to try."

"No need, give it to Si Feng."

"Yes"

After hearing this, Ye Cangbing turned around and left in silence, not wanting to be seen. Mo Xie glanced at the study and hurriedly followed him.

"Young Master, don't be upset. Your Majesty may just be playing with that woman. He may not be interested in her anymore. She is not worth your trouble."

"But he told me personally that someone outside the palace has already known the news."

"Young Master, think about the scene at that time. What if His Majesty just wanted to piss you off?"

"Well, let's just think about it that way."

Time jumped to April 17th, half a month later. Red lanterns were hung at the gate of Ye Mansion and a big "囍" character was posted on the door. Everything was so smooth and peaceful.

Suddenly there was a commotion at the door and a burly man dressed in black walked in.

"Sir Nie, you need to inform the Madam before you see her. You cannot barge into the female family's backyard. This is not in accordance with etiquette!"

"Why don't you just go and stand here?"

"Yes, yes, it will be ready soon."

Wang Hanxue didn't want to go at first, and Ye Cangbing was also unwilling to go, but when they heard that her mother's family was looking for them, they hurried out, and Ye Cangbing followed them.

When she walked to the reception room, she saw Nie Ying sitting on a chair drinking tea. Wang Hanxue rushed over and shouted, "Uncle Nie!"

"Meet the young lady, young master"

"Uncle Nie, get up quickly," Wang Hanxue stretched out her hand and lifted Uncle Nie up.

"Miss, we are here on the orders of the head of the family to help you sort out the affairs of your family."

"What's wrong?" Ye Cangting hurried over at this time, with a thin layer of sweat on his face.

"Hello, Master Ye! This time we are here to help you take in a concubine. Do you remember what was the last thing you promised when you proposed to the young lady?" Uncle Wang looked directly at Ye Cangting and asked straight to the point.

"Remember, I promised her a wish as a betrothal gift," Ye Cangting retorted without showing any weakness.

"The head of our family said that this wish can be fulfilled - no concubines or any form of maids are allowed!"

"No," Ye Cangbing answered without thinking.

When Nie Ying heard this, he was very unhappy. Just as he was about to speak, someone suddenly arrived.

"The imperial edict has arrived! Oh, there are quite a lot of people here. Lord Ye, please put aside other things and come to receive the imperial edict!" The eunuch held

"Uncle Wang, you see, the Demon Lord also gave me his blessing, which means that he has recognized this marriage from the bottom of his heart."

"You!" Nie Ying was horrified, his body shaking with anger, "Alas... Miss, you are the only one who has been wronged. You will have to continue living here and endure... Alas, I won't say more," Nie Ying said guiltily.

"It's okay, Uncle Wang. This is my home, so there's no question of leaving," Wang Hanxue smiled.
