At that ti, even though she avoided He Shi, she had never avoided Ye Jiu due to his condition, and wouldn’t know if she had overheard.
After Zhao Shi and Zhang Shi left, He Shi watched their backs deep in thought.
These two daughters-in-law, Zhang Shi was the one she chose herself back then. She was good in all aspects, proficient in handling matters, but too cautious, so she appeared sowhat timid.
For people like her, the Gu Family is an excellent match, but there’s no great potential beyond that.
As for Zhao Shi, there’s no need to even ntion.
She has no brains, loves to take petty advantages, has little skill but wants to hold everything to herself.
The third son’s family, although considered part of the Ye Family nowadays, the wife’s temperant is really a problem, she’s fine as a person, but tends to ignore everyone, relying on the third son for everything.
Fortunately, the third son is the smartest among the brothers, otherwise, having such a wife would offend people even more than Zhao Shi.
Now, it seems, the fourth son’s wife is rather decent. She’s good-looking and impressive; although her temperant seems mild, judging by how she could force people out when she married the fourth son, she’s not timid or afraid of trouble.
The wife is good, but it’s the fourth son, raised by her to be too straightforward.
In the countryside it’s fine, but going to the capital, who knows if it will be a blessing or a calamity.
Originally, they had agreed to go to the capital with Ye Jiu, but at this mont, He Shi felt shaken.
Ye Jiu and Ye Gaosheng finally got away from the clan and returned to the courtyard. The two exchanged a glance and both smiled helplessly.
"Fourth sister-in-law is pregnant, with so many people just now, I hope she wasn’t jostled. Fourth brother, you should quickly check on her," Ye Jiu kindly reminded.
Ye Gaosheng imdiately beca cautious, "Then I’ll head back first, and you take this ti to enjoy so peace. In the next two days, the family is likely to be busy."
Ye Jiu nodded, and only then did Ye Gaosheng leave.
Ye Jiu returned to the room, saw He Shi sitting on the kang, and discussed with her, "Mother, the King of Jing said we will set off for the capital in three days. It’s definitely too late to rebuild the house. How about leaving the matter of building the house to Changsheng and uncle to oversee?"
He Shi hesitated, then sighed, "Xiaojiu, I always feel that leaving ho for the capital is unsettling, how about..."
Yet, she felt unwilling to leave behind her daughter, torn between both sides.
Ye Jiu felt a jolt in his heart, "Mother, you don’t want to go to the capital with ?"
"It’s not that I don’t want to. The capital is prosperous. I visited once during that year of fleeing, but never had the chance to tour properly. Just thinking of going to such a faraway place, without anyone familiar, makes feel uneasy." He Shi said.
Ye Jiu reassured He Shi, "How would it be unsettling? Fourth brother is now a marquis, and there’s the Marquis Building. I also have an estate in the capital, we’ll still be living together. If you miss ho, you can always co back to Wangshan Village for a visit..."
In the past, Ye Jiu would prefer to travel back and forth herself rather than let He Shi journey at such an age, but now, going to the capital is imperative. Only when the Ye Family is with her can she be at ease.
After all, there’s always the Crown Prince Residence posing a threat to her. Leaving the Ye Family behind, Ye Jiu fears they would only beco a weapon in others’ hands to threaten her.
Just like Qing Li, if it weren’t for his mother’s life being held by others, how could he have betrayed Sikong Mo!
