Chapter 59 Long time no see
"The Ye family? Humph!" Cui snorted disdainfully, "A good wind can help me rise to the top, but without wind, your father can do it all by himself? Don't dream! Your father knows this very well!"

"So, in order to help the Ye family rise to prominence, to pave the way for Zheng Hong, and for my marriage, my mother obeyed my uncle's orders! She even resorted to such a despicable method as ghost marriage to please the Jiang family! I..."

Ye Qingyin stretched her neck, turned her head away, and said indignantly: "I think it's dirty!"

"Shut up!"

Cui was furious, but since the child was her own, she couldn't bear to beat or scold him. She slammed the table in anger, causing the cups to fall to the ground, and porcelain pieces shattered all over the floor!
"This method? What kind of method? Countries use marriage to avoid disputes and wars, let alone ordinary people like you and me?"

Cui changed the subject and said half angrily and half teasingly,

"You are so proud that you are arguing with your mother? You look down on the marriage alliance. Do you not want your brother Cheng Yao anymore?"

"Humph! Mother, you don't have to use Brother Cheng Yao as an excuse. I have some friendship with him, but I always treat him with courtesy and never overstep the line! If I have to resort to such means to marry Brother Cheng Yao, then I won't marry him and I can still live freely!"

With that, he stood up and walked out without looking back.

"The older this little girl gets, the harder it is to control! Where are you going?" Cui shouted anxiously from behind.

Ye Qingyin ignored him and just walked on her own.

"Don't provoke that crazy girl! Do you hear me?" Seeing that she was almost out of sight and didn't turn back, Cui hurriedly called two maids.

"Qiuhua, Dongyue! Keep an eye on the young lady and don't let her do anything wrong!"

"Yes!"

The two of them quickened their pace and followed Qingyin's direction. Ye Qingyin naturally knew that someone was following her. Cui was shouting so loudly that it was hard not to hear her.

After turning two corners, he flipped over and jumped into another courtyard wall, leaving Qiuhua and Dongyue spinning in circles.

She hid along the wall, dodged the servants in the yard, and tiptoed into the house.

"Sister, save your breath! These people in the yard are not just for show. Someone has known about you since you climbed over the wall!"

As soon as Ye Qingyin stepped into the house, Ye Zhenghong poured cold water on her.

He was sitting at the desk, copying something. Perhaps the tip of the pen was not comfortable to use, so he touched it with two fingers. A round drop of ink lay on the fingertips. He flicked it lightly, and the ink hit the wall. There was a piece of white paper hanging on the wall!
"What's new here?" Ye Qingyin was seen through, so she walked into the house with confidence.

"Just bored!" Ye Zhenghong continued writing and didn't care about her arrival.

"You have so much free time! Do you know that something important is happening in our family?"

"You're the only one who doesn't know!"

"You come to tease me too?" Her brother has always been a dull person. He doesn't like to chat with others and doesn't talk much. But his mind is as clear as a mirror and nothing can be hidden from him!

"You come from our mother's side, and you insist on doing whatever your mother tells you not to do! Last time you were looking for trouble, what are you going to do this time?"

"I'm going to drag you down with me this time!"

Ye Qingyin has always been proud and never submits to anyone, especially Cui Yan'er, whom she particularly dislikes!

But at present, she has not retreated with two peers. One is Ye Zhenghong, who is like cotton and makes no sound when punched into him. The other is Ye Liuyun, who can't hold her down!
"My brain is not working well. I can't get out with so many people here!" Ye Zhenghong said.

"Just tell me whether you want to go or not?" Ye Qingyin said.

"I do!" Ye Zhenghong put down his pen and said seriously.

"Hmm~" Ye Qingyin pondered and looked around, his eyes falling on the two girls, "Have you heard about Ye Liuyun sneaking into Cui's mansion at night?"

"I understand! It's a good idea! It's still early, let's wait a little longer!" After saying that, he lowered his head and started writing something.

Looking at the time, it would only take an hour at most. Ye Qingyin didn't want to run again, so she simply found a soft bed and dozed off for a while.

She fell asleep unknowingly and didn't know how long she slept. She just felt a pain in her arm. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ye Zhenghong poking her arm with a small wooden stick.

"Are you sick?" Ye Qingyin jumped up, snatched the stick and threw it out.

"It's time!" Ye Zhenghong was not in a hurry even after being scolded, and still said expressionlessly.

"You won't let the maid call me?"

"I called him, but he didn't wake me up!"

Although he was still speaking with a blank expression, his disdain was evident in his words.

"Call in your servant!"

Ye Qingyin knew that there would be no benefit in pursuing this matter further, so she decided to just mind her own business!
"No words! Come in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man about the same age as Ye Zhenghong came into the room.

"You!" Ye Qingyin pointed at the little maid beside her and ordered, "Come here!"

How dare they disobey? They stood side by side obediently.

She looked them over, quite satisfied, and shouted, "Take off your clothes!"

"Ah?" Both of them were shocked. They looked at each other, speechless and not knowing what to do.

"No need to say anything. Go to the bedroom and watch the chess. Go behind the screen and just take off your coat!"

Ye Zhenghong arranged everything in an orderly manner. When everything was ready, he said, "Buyan, Guanqi, you two go to your father's study and get some books!"

"Yes!" The two agreed.

After opening the door, Buyan and Guanqi lowered their heads and left Sanjizhai in the dim night.

Because Bai was not there, Liuyun gave some people a holiday and let them go home to rest for a while.

In fact, it was because she didn’t need so many people to serve her alone, and she felt annoyed when seeing so many people.

She sat under a wooden chair in the living room, wiping the arrogance over and over again. The white sword was spotless, much cleaner than the human heart in this world!

Canxue stood aside, adjusting the candle wick from time to time to make the light brighter.

"Huh? Who is that?" Canxue was cutting off a piece of candle wick. She tilted her head and saw two people coming into the yard.

The two men were both wearing the clothes of Ye family servants, and they were really unfamiliar. Besides, there were no men in their humble house, let alone servants.

Upon hearing this, Liuyun put down the sword in his hand and looked at him with squinted eyes.

She had very good eyesight, but the two men had their heads down, so she couldn't see their faces and she didn't know who they were.

The two men walked into the house calmly, and Liuyun knew what was going on.

Sure enough, the two of them looked up, and Ye Qingyin said, "Long time no see!"

It has indeed been a long time since we last met. Although we live in the same house, we rarely meet or even never meet.

Especially Ye Zhenghong. Since she came to the Ye family, she has never had any conversation with him. Today is the first time!
Looking at how they were dressed, I knew Cui must have something to tell them.

"She has her reasons for not letting you come, why don't you listen to her advice?"

She had no friendship with the brother and sister, and because of the Cui family's relationship, it could even be said that their relationship was not harmonious. It was good enough that they didn't fight, so there was naturally no reason for her to politely give up her seat.

"You go!"

Ye Qingyin didn't respond to her, but suddenly blurted out three words.

"Oh? Is that what you mean?" Liuyun glanced at Ye Zhenghong and continued to lower his head to wipe the sword blade.
