Chapter 129 Wheelchair traded for 2 pen holder
"Mother, you all move to the side. I'll kick the door open and go in to see what's going on," Ye Jingyang said as he stepped forward.
"You unfilial son, I'm not dead yet!" Ye Mian finally couldn't hold back and roared out.
"Ah! Father, you're not dead! You finally spoke up, you scared me to death."
"Ye Yaoyao, get the hell out of here."
Liu Yunshu was furious upon hearing this and shouted through the door:
"Ye Mian, what do you mean? What's wrong with your daughter caring about you? She was being chased, and when she came back and heard that you were in trouble, she immediately had a wheelchair made for you. Her filial piety is met with your disdain and angry roar."
The person inside opened the door. "The adult is in a bad mood. And you're so insensible! Your paycheck will be deducted this month."
Upon hearing that his monthly allowance was being deducted, the servant immediately went to open the door.
"No, Madam, it was the master who ordered me not to open the door. Please don't deduct my monthly salary."
Ye Mian was so angry at the servant’s behavior that his body ached even more.
The door creaked open, and the mother and her children rushed in, eager to see Ye Mian's disheveled state.
"Father, you've lost weight, and the doors and windows are all closed, they smell bad." Ye Yaoyao fanned the air a few times with her hand.
"You're the only one who's meddling!"
"Ye Mian, what are you saying!" Liu Yunshu glared at him angrily.
"It's nothing, you've all seen it, you can all leave!" Ye Mian waved his hand impatiently.
“Father, I’ve brought the wheelchair. Fuling, push it in.”
A tall wooden wheelchair was pushed in. Ye Yaoyao sat down and had Fu Ling push her left and right to demonstrate.
"Look! Isn't it convenient? Father, this is yours from now on."
"Leave your things, and you can all leave." Ye Mian knew Ye Yaoyao was going to be furious with him, so he quickly gave her the order to leave.
“Father, this wheelchair is very expensive. I’ve used up all my savings. Aren’t you going to offer any help?” Ye Yaoyao poked it with two fingers.
Ye Xiyao lowered her head and chuckled to herself.
Ye Mian really didn't want to see her, so he gritted his teeth and asked, "How much?"
“Like this.” Ye Yaoyao spread her five fingers.
"Fifty taels, I'll give you that. Now get out of Qingzhu Courtyard right now and never come back."
"It's not fifty taels, it's five thousand taels."
"What? Five thousand for a broken chair?"
"Father, I used the finest wood and the workmanship is excellent, but I still didn't have enough money, so I had to borrow it!"
Ye Mian didn't want to listen to her nonsense. "I don't have five thousand taels. Return this chair."
Ye Jingyang said:
"How can that be? What will others think of our Ye family? It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone; you'll need at least three months to fully heal."
"You can't stay in bed all the time, can you? You still have official business to attend to."
Ye Jingyang's words made a lot of sense. Ye Mian knew that a wooden chair couldn't possibly cost five thousand taels of silver. Seeing the mother and her five children surrounding him, he had no choice but to compromise and said with a heavy heart:
"Five thousand taels? I don't have that much. But one of the furnishings in the room would be enough for five thousand taels."
"also."
Ye Yaoyao's eyes lit up, and she immediately began to examine the ornaments on the shelf.
"You can only take one item," Ye Mian emphasized, recalling the last time Ye Yaoyao emptied his mother's belongings.
"Father, you have so many good things here!"
Ye Yaoyao looked at the items on the shelf but didn't take anything. She walked to the table, where the fragrance emanating from a sandalwood pen holder attracted her.
[Host, this is the most valuable item.]
"That's it then." Ye Yaoyao took the pen down and removed the pen holder.
“Father, I’ll take this pen holder.”
Ye Mian nearly vomited blood when he saw the pen holder she was holding; it was made of top-quality sandalwood, worth 100,000 taels of silver.
"No, that's my favorite pen holder. Pick one of those on the shelf while you're at it, but this one won't do," Ye Mian shouted anxiously.
"But I want to give this to my older brother. Sandalwood has a refreshing effect, and he's aiming to become the top scholar in the imperial examination. I hope Father won't be reluctant to part with it!"
“Your father always said he wanted to save the best for you, so naturally he wouldn’t hesitate to give it up.”
Liu Yunshu said these words when the triplets were just born.
"My husband, you always said this when I was pregnant with triplets, do you remember?"
"Of course... I remember." Ye Mian clenched his fist tightly. At that time, he held a low official position and had to rely on the Liu family.
"Then there's no problem. The wheelchair has been delivered. Father, get some rest!" Ye Yaoyao waved and led the group away, holding the pen holder.
"Ye Yaoyao!" Ye Mian angrily knocked over the food he hadn't finished eating.
"Father! Father!"
Ye Mian came to his senses. Ye Yaoyao was truly his nemesis. He shouldn't have gotten drunk and had this troublesome child with Liu Yunshu.
This time, hiring someone to commit murder was a huge loss, and he became even more convinced that these people had guessed that he had been involved in the scheme.
These past few days he's been wondering how much his mother and children know.
Looking up at Ye Yaoyao, he saw that she was staring at the top of his head.
"What are you looking at?"
"Looking at the grassland!"
"What nonsense are you spouting now?"
Being cuckolded, isn't your head the color of the grassland?
Liu Yunshu glanced cautiously at Ye Yaoyao. Did she know that she wasn't Ye Mian's daughter?
Ye Jingyang and Ye Xiyao looked at Liu Yunshu. Their younger sister had discovered her true parentage, but neither of them had told their mother.
[Hmph! Xue Ruoxue has probably cheated on her scumbag father. When he finds out, he'll not only be green on the head, but also on the face, haha...]
Several people looked at Ye Mian at the same time. It didn't seem impossible that Xue Ruoxue would cheat on him.
"Help me into the carriage." Ye Mian felt a chill run down his spine as they stared at him, thinking that none of them were normal.
The palace banquet proceeded as usual, with officials praising the emperor as everyone waited for his arrival.
Ye Mian, in a wheelchair, was pushed in by Ye Li'an, which attracted a lot of attention.
Some ministers saw this and turned to discuss it with their colleagues, some looked away and continued walking, and some greeted the others but did not intend to continue the conversation.
Last time Ye Yaoyao got drunk and exposed the scandal, no one had a good ending. Apart from acquaintances who dared to approach her, everyone else turned their eyes away after just one glance.
Lu Xiuliang felt a bit resentful when he saw her, which had caused him to be watched by his wife for a long time recently. When Ye Yaoyao looked over, he quickly turned around and left.
The banquet began, and the Emperor appeared in high spirits with a smile on his face.
"At today's palace banquet, I have some joyous news to announce. The heir to the throne is crucial to the fate of our dynasty. The Empress and I have already chosen the Crown Princess. I cordially invite all of you to share this joy with me."
Chief Eunuch Sun unfolded the imperial edict and read it aloud:
Zhao Wanxi, the daughter of the Right Chancellor, was gentle and virtuous, with a dignified and kind appearance. From a young age, she was well-versed in the teachings of women, adept at domestic duties, gentle and virtuous, possessing a graceful figure and a prudent character.
"Having observed her conduct and admired her virtue, I hereby bestow upon Zhao Wanxi the title of Crown Princess. She shall diligently uphold the virtues of a wife, assist in managing the Eastern Palace, and be conscientious day and night, so as to help the Crown Prince cultivate his character and establish virtue, and jointly govern the nation."
Upon hearing the Emperor's decree, Zhao Wanxi was overjoyed and rose with the Crown Prince to walk to the center of the hall to express their gratitude.
"Your subject obeys the decree." The Crown Prince knelt to the side to express his gratitude, his face revealing neither joy nor anger.
"Your Majesty, I thank you. I will certainly follow your teachings. May Your Majesty live ten thousand years, may the Great Qin Dynasty be forever secure, and may it enjoy a prosperous and peaceful era."
Zhao Wanxi suppressed her joy and expressed her gratitude, but anyone could hear the excitement in her heart.
"Rise. We will hold the wedding on an auspicious day. The Ministry of Rites will make all the arrangements."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
