Chapter 72
Madam Ye saw that Ye Xi looked pale and seemed to be in bad condition, so she comforted him, "Your brother was also upset during the last autumn exam, probably because of his young age. Now he has grown up and knows what to do, so he should be fine."
"I hope my brother will win the championship."
“As long as we can be on the list, our Ye family will be honored. Other things are not important,” said Mrs. Ye.
"That's right." Although Ye Xi agreed verbally, in the past, her thoughts were consistent with Madam Ye's, but now it was not possible. Because she expected Ye Xin to get a position, or at least to get to know someone in the government through the back door, so that she could help her out of the misery. She didn't need to tell Ye Xin the truth, but only needed to let Yang Jian know that she was not alone, so that he could stop when he saw the good, and then she would get what she wanted.
This was the solution she came up with after getting up in the morning. She had no choice but to do it. In the past, she simply hoped that her brother would succeed, but now he had his own agenda, and she couldn't help but despise herself.
After Ye Xin returned home, he found that his sister Ye Xi suddenly became very concerned about him. She asked him about his well-being and prepared a lot of "delicious" cakes and meals for him. Ye Xin looked at the smell of some unknown objects served and expressed his suspicion. He knew his sister well. She had never been good at sewing or cooking since she was a child. The only thing she had read more books than the daughters of ordinary families was that she would probably not be able to get married.
He was so happy to see the handsome Pei Zhu willing to marry his sister. Now, looking at the "delicious" pastry in front of him, he couldn't eat it, but he couldn't resist Ye Xi's explanation that it took him half a day to make it, and it just didn't look good, but it tasted good, so he took a bite. Sure enough, he shouldn't have expected anything from Ye Xi, and suddenly began to sympathize with his brother-in-law.
At this time, Pei Zhu, who was on the way to Beijing, suddenly sneezed. Thinking that it was not yet autumn, how could it be getting cold already, he quickly pulled the curtain of the carriage.
Seeing that Ye Xin only took a bite and put it down, Ye Xi kept staring at Ye Xin, as if to ask if it was not to his liking. Ye Xin dodged her gaze and said, "Okay, okay, I still have to continue studying. You should go back to your room quickly and don't delay your brother's study."
Well, Ye Xi thought, the food she cooked was probably really bad, so she should change her thinking.
The next day, Ye Xin was very happy to find that his sister did not do that kind of eating and drinking. However, he found that she actually began to ignore the distinction between men and women and actually wanted to relax his muscles and do something called massage, which was immoral. Ye Xi thought that this was nothing, just massaging Ye Xin's shoulders and neck to help him relax his muscles, but Ye Xin felt that it was inappropriate. If his father saw it, he would be beaten half to death, so he kicked Ye Xi out.
On the third day, before Ye Xin went to the study to read, he went to Mrs. Ye first. After some conversation, Ye Xi was called over by Mrs. Ye. For several days in a row, Ye Xi had no time to "harass" Ye Xin.
Ye Xi had been ordered by Madam Ye to do needlework or plant flowers and grass for several days in a row, and she was tired of it. This morning, after breakfast, she sneaked out with Chuntao on the pretext of sneaking out. She also guessed that it must be Ye Xin who was gossiping, otherwise why would her mother suddenly keep a close eye on her? She really wanted to help her brother, not to make trouble. No one wanted him to pass the exam more than her!
