Chapter 599: 599 taels of big clods
Ye Gaosheng nearly fell to the ground in astonishnt, “What? Little sister, are you saying mother has prepared a matrimonial gift for to propose to Miss Qingyue?”
“Originally, that was the plan, but since Fourth Brother is unwilling, then let’s forget about it, shall we? There’s no need to wrong Sister Qingyue!” Ye Jiu deliberately sighed.
“Don’t!” Ye Gaosheng beca anxious, glanced at Ye Jiu, then turned to Mrs. Ye, “Mother, why didn’t you tell the proposal was for Miss Qingyue?”
“So now you’re blaming ?” Mrs. Ye glared at him.
Ye Gaosheng quickly offered a placating smile, “No, my son wouldn’t dare. It’s just… putting mother to trouble.”
“It’s no trouble at all. Since you don’t want to marry her, let’s just drop it, to save the heartache of wasting my efforts.” Mrs. Ye, having the upper hand, naturally beca haughtier.
“No, mother, my son was wrong…” Ye Gaosheng has coaxed Ye Jiu many tis before, but it was the first ti he tried to appease his mother like this.
After Ye Gaosheng finally went out satisfied, Mrs. Ye beca worried again, “I never expected that even you, the unresponsive Fourth Brother, would start to catch on!”
“Fourth Brother has caught on, and mother is still not happy?” Ye Jiu asked back.
Mrs. Ye had her own concerns, “I can’t say I’m entirely happy or not; it’s just that he places such importance on Miss Qingyue, I can’t tell if that will be good or bad in the future. Besides, Miss Qingyue doesn’t look like an ordinary girl from head to toe, so how could she take a fancy to your Fourth Brother?”
Mrs. Ye didn’t an to belittle Ye Gaosheng with her words, but one could tell at a glance that the two were obviously not well-matched.
“Mother shouldn’t worry too much. Fourth Brother isn’t so bad, and besides, as good as Miss Qingyue may be, outside she’s like a displaced duckweed, perhaps she sees in Fourth Brother the chance for a stable life!” Ye Jiu really hit the nail on the head.
Sotis when you think about it, isn’t that all a woman wants?
A caring man, a ho, a pair of chopsticks, a bowl of rice, and raising two children – to spend a lifeti just like that.
Everyone was clear about the marriage proposal, so it was just a matter of going through the process.
He Gaosheng’s marriage was settled, and it resolved one of the Ye Family elders’ major concerns.
At the sa ti, Ye Bai arrived in the capital city with a letter and two sweet potatoes.
Knowing human nature, and having been to the Royal Residence, Ye Bai quickly found his way to the roof of the study at the Royal Residence.
The prince, just leaving the palace after court, was inford by a family servant who hurried to report a giant eagle had landed on the roof of his study. The guards tried everything, even arrows, but were powerless to get it down.
The prince imdiately smacked the servant on the head without hesitation, “Fool, who allowed you to attack it?”
Then, he snatched a white horse that a guard had just brought over and vaulted onto it, whipping it into a gallop.
He had only seen two giant eagles at Ye Jiu’s place, and on hearing the servant’s words, his first thought was that the girl must have sent him a letter!
The prince hurried ho to find a crowd of guards in a standoff with a giant eagle, completely at a loss about what to do with Ye Bai.
He unleashed a tirade of insults at the guards.
After hurriedly dismissing them, Ye Bai, recognizing a familiar face, finally flew down from the roof, obediently handing over the items tied to his claws to the prince.
The prince saw two large clods of dirt!
