Ye Laohan excitedly hugged Ye Zhong, "Big brother, I’m back..."
The two old n didn’t say much, but they cried their hearts out while embracing.
Beside them, the Clan Leader, regardless of whether it was true or not, also emotionally wiped the corners of his red eyes.
Ye Gaosheng, being a sincere man, wanted to comfort Ye Laohan and Ye Zhong, but Qingyue quickly stopped him, placing the child in his hands, "Father and uncle are happy, you shouldn’t disturb the elders."
Over at Ye Laohan’s side, the Clan Leader couldn’t get a word in, so he ca over to find a presence with Ye Gaosheng.
Soon, the topic shifted to Ye Jiu.
"That young lady who just went in looked really familiar. Isn’t she Princess Changfu? She has truly grown more beautiful over the years..." The Clan Leader said with a smile.
But Ye Gaosheng’s face darkened, "Clan Leader, in the future, please refrain from ntioning Jiujiu in the Ye Family."
"What happened?" The Clan Leader was astonished.
Ye Gaosheng discreetly pinched himself, forcing the corners of his eyes to turn red.
On the other side, Ye Gaoshi, with teary eyes, approached and answered the Clan Leader, "On the day Princess Changfu was married, she accidentally fell and passed away. The late emperor adored Princess Changfu and specially allowed her to be buried in the Imperial Mausoleum. My mother was heartbroken and is now sowhat incoherent."
The capital city is a thousand miles away from Wangshan Village, so it’s normal for news of Princess Changfu not to have reached here.
"But, that young lady just now..." The Clan Leader was still puzzled. Though her looks had greatly changed in three years, she clearly appeared to be the grown-up Ye Jiu!
Before Ye Gaosheng could speak, Ye Gaoshi had already explained, "That young lady is also a poor soul. When we t her, she was selling herself to bury her father on the street. She resembles Xiaojiu to so extent, and our mother misses Xiaojiu too much, so she mistook her for Xiaojiu. We had no choice but to let her stay by mother’s side to ease mother’s longing."
Ye Qingzhi happened to pass by, her eyes red and wide open with anger, "She is not my aunt; she is a conniving woman trying to take everything that belonged to my aunt!"
"This girl, you..."
Just as Ye Gaoshi wanted to say sothing, Ye Qingzhi ran away crying.
Ye Gaoshi felt slightly embarrassed, "Clan Leader, please don’t mind her. This girl had always been close to her aunt, so it’s hard for her to accept."
The Clan Leader nodded with empathy, "I understand, I understand."
The Ye Family of Wangshan Village relied on Princess Changfu for their current standing, and this honor had just begun when Princess Changfu was no more.
In retrospect, their Ye family probably lacked that fortune, and who knows how long the current prosperity would last.
Ye Qingzhi ran into the house and bumped into Ye Jiu.
For the first ti in her life, Ye Qingzhi showed a fierce expression, "Hey, let warn you, just because you fooled my grandmother into keeping you around doesn’t an you can replace my aunt. It’s impossible. A substitute is just a substitute. You better rember your place and not covet things that don’t belong to you."
As she spoke, Ye Qingzhi pulled the Red Jade Hairpin from Ye Jiu’s head.
This was sothing the He family had prepared for Ye Jiu, and Ye Qingzhi, being constantly by the He’s side, knew it well.
But now, seeing it on soone else’s head, soone who was not her aunt yet bore her aunt’s appearance, made Ye Qingzhi feel as if Ye Jiu’s possessions were slowly being taken by soone else.
