"Little Cui, we're almost there. Be careful. Don't be too fast! I don't want to hurt the passers-by." Bai Qingsha did not forget to instruct.
Ye Tian's eyes shifted to Bai Qingsha's face, asking casually,""Mother, who are we going to see at Clear Breeze Lake?”
" He's your future father-in-law," Bai Qingsha said with a smile. Seeing Ye Tian's blank expression, she turned serious," Tian 'er, if you can get his help, you won't have to suffer in the Ye Family anymore."”
"Yue…Father-in-law?" Ye Tian froze, his face darkening.
"What? Embarrassed? Don't worry, your father-in-law is a reasonable person!”Bai Qingsha sighed in her heart. Tian 'er was young and mature, but she hadn't been able to take good care of him. Afraid that Ye Tian would overthink things, Bai Qingsha maintained a smile on her face.
"Haha, Mother, I'm afraid that even you are troubled. With our current status, how can we have a relationship with them?”Ye Tian smiled wryly and shook his head, not thinking much of it.
This marriage was true. It was with a large family in the neighboring Tianfeng Kingdom. If he was still the eldest young master and the son of the clan leader, it would be a marriage between the two families.
It was a matter of national celebration.
However, that was then and that was now!
" This…" Bai Qingsha hesitated for a moment before shaking her head in disbelief."The Shangguan Clan Leader is a science master of the Heavenly Kingdom. He has been a reasonable and well-behaved person for generations. How could he do such a treacherous thing?”
Ye Tian shook his head and didn't say anything. He had seen too many similar things in his previous life. If he didn't say anything, others wouldn't.
Although he was the clan leader, he couldn't hide the truth. At that time, at most, he would hold a family meeting and let an elder of the clan make a decision. With a word of shame, he would have a good reputation of being honest and righteous. Such things had happened too many times since ancient times. One was the good cop and the other was the bad cop.
"Madam! It seemed like the carriage of the Eldest Young Master and the Second Young Miss was in front of them. They were also going to the Cool Breeze Club!”Xiao Cui suddenly said from outside.
"Hmm?" Bai Qingsha exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Tian was also surprised, recalling the conversation between Ye Zhan and Ye Qinglin that night. He shook his head and smiled bitterly. It seemed like a good show was about to begin.
What would his cheap father-in-law do?
"Mother, get out of the car!" Ye Tian took a deep breath. Since he was already here, there was no reason for him to turn back. After all, he didn't have any intention of marrying that unknown Miss Shangguan in exchange for a higher position.
His current plan was to deal with the troublesome matters in a month. As long as he could get Bai Qingsha out of here and not be threatened by Ye Hong Tong, he would have nothing to worry about.
From then on, he could wholeheartedly pursue the Heavenly Dao.
……
Along the way, there were quite a few guards, all of them looking straight ahead. As they walked past them, Ye Tian could feel the heat on his skin, and he immediately stopped looking down on them.
"The Shangguan family is indeed well-hidden. This defense is really flawless. Even if Ye Hongtong comes personally, he might not be able to break through.”
After passing through a few corridors, they finally arrived at the hall.
Ye Tian furrowed his brow, looking into the hall to see a woman sitting at the head of the table. She was dressed in a bright yellow robe with gold inlaid on it. Her fingers were long and slender, and she held a cup in her hand. Her neck was tilted up as if she was listening, and her lips curled up in a haughty manner. Even when she was facing her son and daughter, she was still the same. This was Ye Hongtong's first wife, the First Madam.
The two servant girls behind her also looked down on her, their eyes scanning the surroundings. When they saw Ye Tian and the others, they whispered a few words into First Madam's ear.
Lady Wang nodded and said nothing.
There was a man and a woman sitting below Lady Wang. They were Ye Zhan and Ye Qinglin, who had just broken up. Lady Wang seemed to have given them some instructions and looked serious.
"Hmph, a crooked stick will have a crooked future. A son publicly snatches his younger brother's wife, but as a mother, she actually jumped up and down to help. What good methods and good posture. She doesn't know shame at all.”Ye Tian swept his gaze across the hall and walked inside, holding onto the white muslin.
Bai Qingsha's joy had been swept away, and her face was now filled with worry as she looked at Ye Tian.
"Big Sis!" Bai Qingsha braced herself. After entering the meeting hall, she greeted the First Madam first.
"Humph!" First Madam had apparently heard from her son that she had seen Bai Qingsha on the way here and was not too surprised. She said coldly," Is this a place you can come to? Instead of staying at home and showing up in public all day, did he not know how to avoid it at all!”She turned to look at Ye Tian.
Bai Qingsha trembled in anger, but she could only hold on, Ye Tian could clearly feel her trembling.
"Mother, let's sit here." Ye Tian glanced at her and snorted coldly, ignoring the Eldest Madam. He turned around and supported the white muslin as he walked away.
"This!" Bai Qingsha's expression changed slightly. Clearly, she still had some misgivings.
Ye Tian didn't care too much. He wouldn't offend others if they didn't offend him, so he didn't need to be too polite to this old woman. Although the First Lady's family was very powerful in the Yucheng Kingdom's army and she had a son and daughter, she still had a say in the Ye Family despite her age. But a woman was a woman, and she could only manage the backyard. If Ye Tian wanted to be punished, she could only watch helplessly.
"How preposterous. This is the good son you taught.”Lady Wang's expression changed. She slammed the table and was about to explode.
"Everyone, my father is unwell and it's not convenient for him to come out to meet guests today.”Suddenly, a voice interrupted Lady Wang's anger. A man in a white Confucian robe walked out from the inner door with a smile on his face. He had a purple gold crown on his head and two hairbands hanging down. His eyes were like stars and his face was like jade. He had a refined demeanor, and his steps were slow and firm, exuding a powerful confidence and strength.
There was a woman behind him. Her face was as white as snow, and her brows were slightly furrowed. Her hair was like a cloud, and it fell down like a waterfall. Although she followed the man quietly, she didn't have the elegance of the former. Her face was cold like the winter snow, and her eyes were like arrows. She glanced at the people in front of her and nodded when she saw Ye Qinglin.
Then, he stood behind the man and did not say a word.
"Since your father is ill, we came at the wrong time today!”Lady Wang stood up and bowed politely. Her manners were impeccable.
Ye Tian's brow rose as he stood behind the white muslin. With his casual attire, he didn't look like a young master, but more like a servant with a slightly higher status.
Ye Tian glanced at the woman and knew who she was, but he didn't bother to look at her anymore. He had thought that Shangguan Qing 'er would be a well-bred young lady, but he hadn't expected her to be so arrogant.
In his heart, he felt even more fortunate. What was the use of a beautiful face? If she did not have the status of the Shangguan family, she was nothing more than a vase.
Instead, the man who had entered caught Ye Tian's attention. His manner of speech and speech were the style of a great scholar, and what caught Ye Tian's attention the most was that he was an expert.
Even Ye Zhan had never given him such a strong feeling.
Hearing this, Bai Qingsha seemed to be a little disappointed, but she did not express her dissatisfaction. When she saw the First Madam stand up, she also stood up and did not say anything.
"Ye Furen's words are too serious. My father caught a cold on the road yesterday and will be fine after resting for two days. Please tell Patriarch Ye!" The man from the Confucian Manor said politely.
He glanced around and stopped at Ye Qinglin for a moment. He nodded and said nothing more.
"Brother!" The young girl behind him urged him with dissatisfaction.
The elegant man was the eldest young master of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Wu. It was said that he was one of the top young masters in the Tianfeng Kingdom. He had been sent to the Sky Vault Pavilion, which was known as the Holy Land of Martial Arts, to cultivate since he was young. It was said that the Sky Vault Pavilion was the Holy Land of Martial Arts Saints, and Martial Saints were at the peak.
Martial Kings and Martial Saints were not on the same level at all. A dozen Martial Kings were not enough to fight a Martial Saint. When facing a real Martial Saint, it was almost impossible for a Martial King to resist. It was a kind of innate oppression.
Shangguan Wu and his sister Shangguan Qing 'er were both disciples of the Skydome Pavilion.
It was enough to show that the Shangguan Family was even more powerful in the Tianfeng Kingdom than the Ye Family in the Yucheng Kingdom.
"First Madam, there's something I hope First Madam can agree to today!”Shangguan Wu looked at the girl in green behind him with pity, then said to the Eldest Mistress very politely. It seemed that he was forced by his sister behind him, but it was from his heart.
"Young Master Shangguan, please speak!" Lady Wang nodded politely.
"Your sister is loved by my master in the Skydome Dojo, and he taught her profound martial arts.”Shangguan Wu didn't want to make things too clear.
Unfortunately, Lady Wang was not a person with a clear mind. She frowned and did not understand what Shangguan Wu was trying to say.
"What my brother meant was that my husband must not only have a status worthy of the Sky-Dome Pavilion, but also have a certain level of martial arts cultivation. I heard that the son of the Ye Clan's previous patriarch not only didn't know martial arts, but was also weak and sickly.”Shangguan Qing 'er suddenly stepped forward and ignored Shangguan Wu's dissatisfaction. She raised her eyebrows and bluntly said," Humph, you want me to marry such a useless person who doesn't know martial arts? He's not worthy!"”She glanced at Ye Zhan and Ye Tian, not knowing who Ye Tian was.
When First Madam heard this, she was shocked at first. Then, she looked at Ye Zhan behind her and was delighted.
