Chapter 127 A family reunion
Chapter 127 A family reunion
When the carriage stopped in front of the Princess's Mansion, Yan Qing still felt a little unreal. She looked at Ye Xiruo beside her and asked, "Mother, are you really divorcing Yan Junyuan?"
Ye Xiruo didn't care: "I've already given him the divorce letter, how could it be fake?"
"But……"
Yan Qing was puzzled: "Why?"
Before, I asked my mother to divorce me, but she refused to do so and even refused to get treatment for her illness. She looked like she was waiting to die. Why is she so decisive today?
Yan Xun also asked in confusion: "Yes, why?"
He had been at home for a long time and did not know as much about the relationship between Ye Xiruo and Yan Junyuan as Yan Qing did. Even though he had heard about Yan Qing's background before, in Yan Xun's heart, he always thought that his mother and father had feelings for each other.
After all, we have been together for so many years.
Mother always gave in to Mrs. Zhen...
But what Ye Xiruo did today completely overturned Yan Xun's cognition. It turned out that his mother had such a... brave side?
Ye Xiruo looked at her two children, especially Yan Xun. The boy's clear eyes widened slightly, full of disbelief.
It was like he wasn't looking at his mother.
But it's some unknown magical species...
Ye Xi coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.
Ever since she married Yan Junyuan, she has been acting like the mistress of the Yan family. Later, when Madam Zhen came into being, she finally gave up her duties as mistress and lived in seclusion in the backyard. However, due to her poor health, she rarely saw Yan Xun.
So in her son's eyes, she has always been a well-educated, gentle and dignified mother.
Now that he saw that she had divorced his own father, he must be shocked.
Ye Xiruo glared at Yan Qing: "Isn't it all because of you, little stinky girl? Back then, I married Yan Junyuan to find you a father, but now you don't look like you want a father. Since the original purpose no longer exists, then what am I still doing in that shabby place?
Besides, since you have agreed to marry Gu Huaizhou, I don't have to be afraid of Chu Tianhe anymore. With Gu Huaizhou protecting you, I can finally live my own life. Of course, I have to separate from Yan Junyuan!"
Ye Xiruo roughly explained the reason why she suddenly divorced her husband.
But Yan Qing was completely confused: "When did I agree to marry Gu Huaizhou?"
Ye Xiruo shrugged: "I agreed on your behalf."
Yan Qing: “!”
When? How come she didn't know?
"The day after I told you my life story, I wrote a letter to ask Gu Huaizhou for your consent."
As if she had guessed what her daughter was thinking, Ye Xiruo suddenly held Yan Qing's hand and said earnestly, "Qing'er, don't rush to refuse. If you really don't like Gu Huaizhou, you can just run away from the marriage. But now you have his support, even Chu Tianhe won't dare to do anything to you.
I believe in the child's ability, he will be able to protect you."
Seeing her mother's rare loving expression, Yan Qing's mouth twitched, and she asked expressionlessly, "What benefit did he give you?"
Seeing that her sentimental words failed to move her daughter, Ye Xiruo withdrew her hand in disappointment: "It's nothing, he just promised to give me an army to play with after he becomes emperor..."
Yan Qing: “…”
It turns out that she was sold out.
Yan Xun hesitated and said, "Mother, wouldn't this be a bad idea?"
Although he also liked Brother Gu very much and his sister would definitely be happy if she married him, he felt that such a big matter as marriage should be decided by his sister.
"What's wrong with this or that?"
Ye Xiruo waved her hands and muttered, "I've been taking care of your sister for so many years. Now someone is finally willing to take on this hot potato of hers. Shouldn't I just throw him out right away? Besides..."
I've been hiding in Yan Mansion like a turtle for so long to avoid Lin Tianhe. Now I can't even go out and relax?
You don't need to say anything more, this matter is decided!"
After Ye Xiruo finished speaking, she prepared to get off the car.
As soon as she opened the curtain, she retreated back inside, looking at Yan Qing in panic: "Is it too late for me to regret now? Let me continue to take root in the Yan Mansion. Quick! Send me back!"
Yan Qing looked at her with pity: "It's too late, mother."
Along with Yan Qing's voice, a powerful roar came from outside the car: "Ye Xiruo, you damned bastard, you hid when you saw me, are you a coward? Come on, pull her out for me!"
Old Mrs. Ye’s voice suddenly rang out.
Yan Qing and Yan Xun jumped off the carriage.
Ye Xiruo hid in the carriage and refused to come out until the nanny came forward, lifted the curtain, and pretended to get in the carriage to tie someone up. Only then did she get out reluctantly.
"Mother, mother..."
The man who was arrogant just now suddenly stood in front of Old Lady Ye like a quail.
Old Madam Ye looked at her daughter whom she hadn't seen for more than ten years. She suddenly stepped forward, stretched out her hand and grabbed her ear, and roared in Ye Xiruo's ear: "You unfilial daughter, just get married, why do you sever ties with us? You haven't been back to the general's mansion in the past ten years. Tell me, what do you want to do?
If Qing hadn't moved to the Princess's Mansion this time, you would never have seen me again in your life! ! "
Ye Xiruo, who was still struggling, suddenly stopped after hearing the last sentence.
With red eyes, she looked at Old Lady Ye and found that the old lady's temples were gray and she no longer looked young as she remembered.
Ye Xiruo choked up: "Mother..."
This cry made Old Lady Ye’s eyes red.
The mother and daughter had not seen each other for almost twenty years, but when they met at this moment, they looked at each other with tears in their eyes.
After Ye Xiruo married Yan Junyuan, she never returned to the general's mansion.
At the beginning, it was because Chu Tianhe investigated too strictly, and Ye Xiruo was afraid of implicating the General's Mansion, so she allowed outsiders to speculate about her relationship with the General's Mansion. Later, slowly, she felt a sense of homesickness and became more and more afraid to go home.
Seeing the wrinkles and white hair on Old Madam Ye's face when they met at this moment, Ye Xiruo finally couldn't help herself and threw herself into the old lady's arms and cried bitterly, "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
She is too willful.
It was because of her that her mother couldn't see her daughter for more than ten years.
Old Mrs. Ye wanted to pick up this unfilial daughter and beat her up, but when she heard her daughter's wailing, her eyes turned red and her cold face gradually softened.
"Okay, okay, you're already a mother now, and you're still crying in your mother's arms. You're not afraid of being laughed at by Qing'er and Xun'er."
Veteran General Ye also came over and patted Ye Xiruo on the back with his big hand.
Ye Xiruo's back stiffened instantly.
She turned around and looked at General Ye with tearful eyes: "Dad..."
Ye Xiruo threw herself into General Ye's arms and cried again.
Ye Zulong looked at her and shook his head: "Why is my sister still as crybaby as she was when she was little?"
Ye Zuan glared at him: "Aren't you the same?"
Ye Zulong snorted: "How could I..."
Xue and Li watched the two brothers bickering and shook their heads.
Xue said, "Sister finally got to meet my parents, so she must be excited."
"Isn't that right?"
Yang took out a handkerchief and pressed the corners of her eyes, and said with great emotion: "I haven't seen you for so many years. Let alone my parents, I just want to go up and hug my sister and cry my heart out!"
Hearing everyone's voices, Ye Xiruo finally raised her head from her parents' arms.
When she saw the familiar faces, her already red eyes became even redder. Ye Xiruo looked at Xue and Yang, her voice still hoarse: "Big sister-in-law, second sister-in-law."
"Eh~"
Xue and Yang stepped forward immediately.
Xue held Ye Xiruo's hand and said, "I'm glad you're back. I'm glad you're back."
Yang also said: "Our family is finally reunited!"
Ye Zulong suddenly walked up to Yan and patted her on the shoulder: "This is all thanks to Qing girl. If she hadn't asked my sister to divorce, I'm afraid we would never see her again in our lives..."
"Divorce is good! Divorce is good!"
Old Mrs. Ye smiled kindly.
General Ye suddenly glared at Ye Xiruo: "Xier, are you divorced too?"
Old Mrs. Ye was patting Ye Xiruo's hands. She reacted after hearing what was said and looked at Ye Xiruo with wide eyes.
This damn girl hasn't been home for more than ten years, why would she suddenly get divorced?
Could it be that that bastard Yan Junyuan bullied her?
Ye Zuan and Ye Zulong obviously had the same idea.
Ye Zuan narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm going to settle the score with Yan Junyuan right now!"
Ye Zulong said coldly: "Brother, count me in!"
The two brothers were ready to cause trouble for Yan Junyuan.
"no need."
Ye Xiruo called out to the two of them in time.
She took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her cheeks. Then she said to her two brothers, "Yan Junyuan didn't bully me. I divorced him, not by amicable consent."
Ye Zulong opened his eyes wide: "Not a divorce?"
Qing girl was moving today and had invited them over for a drink. He had sent someone to the Yan residence early in the morning to keep an eye on them. A servant had just come to inform him that his sister was coming and that she had already divorced Yan Junyuan. He had kept it a secret to give his parents a surprise.
Now, according to my sister, it’s not a divorce, but a divorce letter?
Or did my sister divorce Yan Junyuan?
"You're truly worthy of being called Sister!"
Ye Zuan expressed Ye Zulong's thoughts.
Xue and Yang looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
Only the legitimate daughter of a general could do something as counterintuitive as divorcing her husband.
"It's better to take a break!"
Old Madam Ye reacted and snorted, "You've finally done one thing right in all these years. Yan Junyuan favors his concubine over his wife, and even allows his concubine's daughter to snatch the marriage of his legitimate daughter. That bastard should have been divorced long ago!"
Ye Xiruo knew that she owed her family over the years, so she rarely talked back.
General Ye also said: "It's good that Xi'er is back. Your mother has been waiting for you for so many years. You must spend more time with her in the future."
Ye Xiruo looked at the wrinkled faces of the two elders and felt a pang of sadness: "Yes, my daughter will definitely spend more time with you in the future."
"The sons are also accompanying sister and parents!"
Ye Zuan and Ye Zulong also came forward with a smile.
Yan Qing looked at this heartwarming scene and tears almost fell from her eyes.
My mother is still here, my grandparents are still here, and my uncles and aunts... everyone is here.
She had imagined this scene countless times in her previous life.
But I didn’t expect it to happen today.
"elder sister……"
Yan Xun looked at Yan Qing's expression and asked worriedly, "But where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Yan Qing shook his head.
Amidst her brother's puzzled look, she suddenly took Yan Xun's hand and came forward, hugging her mother and grandmother: "We want to accompany grandma too!"
Old Madam Ye looked at the whole family, and although she was always sharp-tongued, she couldn't utter a word at this moment.
He just hugged his daughter and grandson tightly.
Tears welled up.
"Princess, dinner is ready. Would you please invite the old general and the old lady in to eat?"
At this time, a group of people walked out of the princess's mansion, and the palace maid in the lead led everyone to pay their respects to Yan Qing and others.
"Grandma, Mom, you must be hungry after crying for so long, let's go in and eat!"
As he spoke, Yan Qing took Old Madam Ye and Ye Xiruo in each hand and walked into the Princess's Mansion first.
The others also followed along with General Ye.
Yang suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, today is Qing's moving day, why didn't Chun'an come?"
Xue said, "I've already sent someone to notify them. They should be here soon."
Ye Zuan also said: "Let's go in first. That kid will go in by himself when he comes. There's no need to wait for him."
It was rare for the Ye family to be so happy.
Especially Old Lady Ye and General Ye, who originally thought they were celebrating their granddaughter moving into the Princess' Mansion, but they didn't expect to see their daughter whom they hadn't seen for more than ten years.
The two elders were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.
The others were also very happy, and the entire Princess's Mansion was filled with joy.
At this time, outside the Princess's Mansion.
Ye Chunan and Wei Yanyan finally arrived late.
At this time, Wei Yanyan had long lost the glamour she had when she first came to Beijing. Although her clothes were fashionable, they were washed white. There were only a few hairpins on her hair, and her pretty face was full of fatigue.
The dark circles under her eyes showed that she had not had enough rest.
The two stood in front of the Princess's Mansion.
Ye Chunan said proudly, "I didn't expect that cousin Qing would become a princess. This princess's mansion looks really impressive. Yanyan, what do you think?"
Wei Yanyan looked at the plaque of the Princess's Mansion and nodded repeatedly: "Sir, don't keep the Princess waiting too long, let's go in quickly..."
She seemed to smell the aroma of meat.
Eight Treasure Duck, Honey-Braised Chicken, Pan-Fried Goose Breast...
Wei Yanyan couldn't wait. She hadn't eaten meat for a long time. Not to mention meat, she couldn't even get enough to eat with Ye Chunan.
Yan Qing is moving today and invites everyone in the Ye family to celebrate. Wei Yanyan has finally waited for this opportunity, a chance to have a good meal and to connect with everyone in the Ye family.
So at this moment she wanted to rush into the princess's mansion immediately.
"stop!"
Suddenly, two knife lights blocked Wei Yanyan.
Wei Yanyan angrily said, "We are the princess's guests. Why are you keeping us out?"
The guard looked at her, then looked at Ye Chunan behind her and said, "Young Master Ye can go in, but you can't."
Wei Yanyan: "Why?"
Why can Ye Chunan enter but she can’t?
The guard said expressionlessly, "The princess has ordered that only the Ye family members be invited to the banquet today. Are you a member of the Ye family?"
"I……"
Wei Yanyan's mouth was immediately gagged.
She turned around and looked at Ye Chunan aggrievedly, tears streaming down her face as she tried to speak: "Sir..."
Ye Chunan had not expected this to happen. He frowned and said to Wei Yanyan, "Since cousin Qing has given the order, Yanyan, you should go back first."
Wei Yanyan: “?”
She originally wanted Ye Chunan to tell the guards that she was his beloved woman and that she was half a member of the Ye family, but Ye Chunan asked her to go back?
Let her go back hungry?
How could he say it?
Ye Chunan didn't notice that Wei Yanyan's expression was not right. He patted Wei Yanyan on the shoulder and sighed, "Yanyan, you can go first this time. I will definitely take you to meet my family next time."
After hearing this, Wei Yanyan completely collapsed.
She suddenly knocked Ye Chunan's hand away and yelled hysterically: "Next time, next time, next time, it will always be next time! Ye Chunan, are you still a man?!"
