Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother

lobby.

Shen Yuming brought the best Dahongpao, and he still remembered what kind of tea Ye Taigong liked to drink.

He looked around. The hall was still simple and plain, without any unnecessary decorations. It was as honest as Ye Taigong, and pure and untainted by the dust of the world.

"Ye Mansion..." Shen Yuming murmured, and a cold look flashed in his eyes the next moment, "This place is really peaceful, so quiet that you can hear the birds singing and feel the sound of the wind."

Nothing has changed at all.

It was exactly the same as when he came here that year, still so peaceful and calm. Shen Yuming subconsciously clenched his fingers, leaving a deep mark on the handle of the wooden chair.

“Ye Mansion…” His words were cold, and his face was gloomy unlike usual.

"Yuan'er!"

A hearty laugh came from the door, and Grandpa Ye came over and saw Shen Yuming's tall figure, and he was moved. Shen Yuming was just a young boy back then, but now he has grown up so much and has become a handsome young man from aristocratic family. Wherever he goes, he can attract people's attention.

"Grandpa." Shen Yuming quickly stood up and walked over to hold Grandpa Ye's hand. "Grandpa, I haven't seen you for many years. You still look so strong. I feel relieved."

"You..."

Ye Taigong smiled gently and pulled him to sit on the chair.

"Back then you said you wanted to gain experience, so you gave up the prosperity of the capital and left for several years... You left so decisively, but what did you learn outside?" Although Ye Taigong said it with a cold tone, he admired Shen Yuming's approach very much. He was different from those young masters of wealthy families in the capital who lived a carefree and playful life. He had experienced many hardships outside and had a tougher mind. He was a talented person with great potential.

If you enter the imperial court, you will achieve great success.

Shen Yuming began to talk about what he had experienced outside. Ye Taigong listened silently, nodding from time to time, his eyes full of praise.

Shen Yuming is a person he values. He has watched him grow up and knows him inside and out. Although he is still an unknown person now, he will definitely become a powerful figure in a few years.

"Not bad!"

"I have returned to the capital now because I want to serve as an official in the court." Shen Yuming said directly without any concealment.

"Yes." Ye Taigong nodded, "Nowadays, many elderly officials have retired and returned to their hometowns. The court is in need of people as capable as you..."

Shen Yuming remained silent, took a sip of tea, and did not continue speaking.

There was something hidden behind Ye Taigong's smile. The more he looked at Shen Yuming in front of him, the more satisfied he felt. It would be such a pity if such a talented person was left in the hands of others.

"Grandfather." A clear voice sounded, and Ye Yunzi came over with a smile, "Grandfather, I brought some cakes, you haven't tasted them yet..."

Ye Yunzi turned around and saw Shen Yuming sitting on the other side. She nodded slightly, "Husband."

"Yunzi?" Shen Yuming looked at her.

"My husband, please try it too. This is a pastry from the Jiangnan area made by the cook in our mansion. It is sweet but not greasy, and is very suitable as a snack." Ye Yunzi saw the brewed black tea and walked over to add a cup for Shen Yuming with elegant and gentle movements.

The appearance of Ye Yunzi just interrupted what Ye Taigong was about to say. With her present, it was difficult to mention the idea of ​​taking the person back.

The following conversations were just boring family chatter. After a while, Shen Yuming said he had something to do and had to leave.

"Why don't you stay and have dinner before leaving? The Ye Mansion hasn't been so lively for a long time!" Grandpa Ye felt it was a pity and wanted to keep Shen Yuming.

Shen Yuming shook his head and said that someone was waiting for him at home, then he left in a hurry.

……

sunset.

In the hall, various dishes were served, all of which were Ye Yunzi's favorite dishes.

Ye Taigong narrowed his eyes and looked at Ye Yunzi for a long time before he slowly spoke, "Yunzi, what do you think of Yuan'er?"

"My husband is naturally a good man with good character. Good things about him are also spread in the capital."

Ye Yunzi's words were neither hot nor cold. She only spoke words of praise in an official manner, but she did not reveal her inner feelings at all.

"He... is indeed a good person. He will definitely achieve great things in the future. As long as someone helps him, he will definitely become a rare talent!"

"Yes, I know..." Ye Yunzi murmured. Of course she knew. She had witnessed Shen Yuming's journey to becoming an important official in the court. She also knew that the first thing Shen Yuming did after gaining power was to eliminate all those who knew about him, even the Ye family was not spared!

She clenched her fists secretly, and a cold look flashed across her face.

Ye Yunzi knew that Grandpa Ye was doing this for her own good and wanted her to go back with Shen Yuming, but it was not the right time yet. She wanted to take the dowry back. At this moment, Shen Yuming was the most perfect person in Grandpa Ye's heart, and she also thought so in the past.

But Shen Yuming has dark thoughts hidden in his heart and cannot be trusted at all.

She sighed deeply, "Grandfather... do you want to take him as your disciple?"

Ye Yunzi's eyes drooped slightly, and her long and thick eyelashes cast a shadow, making it impossible to see her expression.

Her words were calm, as if she saw through everything.

Ye Taigong paused. He did want to take Shen Yuming as his disciple. Shen Yuming was a talented person who pleased him very much, and he had already married Yunzi.

Just as Grandfather Ye was about to answer, Ye Yunzi sat opposite him and smiled faintly, "Grandfather, we haven't played chess together for a long time. Let's play a game today."

"it is good."

Ye Taigong ordered Jiang Bo to set up the chessboard. He played with the white pieces and Ye Yunzi played with the black pieces.

The black piece made the first move, and the two men fell silent as they began to play chess seriously, their eyes only focused on the chessboard in front of them.

The chess game unfolded, Ye Yunzi picked up the black piece and thought for a moment, then dropped it to a certain place. The dull sound of the chess piece falling was not loud, and under her bare hands, the situation completely changed.

She was like holding a knife, cutting through thorns and brambles as she moved forward, with murderous intent at every step.

"..."

Ye Taigong raised his eyes and glanced at the person in front of him. The woman had a pretty face and her appearance had matured. She no longer looked like the ignorant and naughty child before. Now, she exuded elegance and calmness.

In such a short period of time, she has grown to such a level...it's hard to understand.

"Your chess playing style has changed a lot. You used to play defensively and steadily... but now..."

Ye Taigong saw that Ye Yunzi's chess playing style had completely changed, and he couldn't help but frown.

Now, every move Ye Yunzi makes is filled with murderous intent.

Ye Yunzi looked at the chessboard in front of her with a calm expression. Her chess playing style was just like her personality. She used to be timid, but under Jiang's guidance, she kept in mind the teachings of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. She believed that only a gentle woman could win the love of Shen Yuming.

But what did she get in the end after giving in step by step? It was nothing but the wanton bullying of Shen Yuming and Jiaojiao.

"Guard, can't protect anyone." Ye Yunzi murmured, picked up a black piece, and dropped it heavily on the chessboard.
