Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 97: Magistrate

Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan were surprised when they saw Ye Ming Yu. Ye Ming Hui said: "Why didn't you say early that you've come back?"

"Isn't it in a hurry to go back," Ye Ming Yu lied without changing his expression, "Going as fast as possible, even didn't drink much water along the journey. When did I have the time to tell you."

Supposed that the two people knew that Ye Ming Yu had returned three days ago but fooled around in Xi Hua Lou for those three days, no idea how their expressions would be then.  

"Why did you two just come back?" Ye Ming Yu asked, "It's already dark, but not a single person is in the house."

"We......." Ye Ming Xuan was about to reply. He caught sight of Jiang Li sitting opposite Ye Ming Yu at a glance and swallowed the words in his mouth.

Jiang Li was aware that what he was about to say was to guard against her as this "outsider" . But it's no big deal. Jiang Li reckoned what they were about to discuss should be about the Ye family's business. Now she had already found out the troubles of the Ye family's business, so she obediently stood up and said with a smile: "Uncle Ming Yu, do chat first, I'm going back to the room."

Ye Ming Yu smiled and said: "Ok."

Seeing Ye Ming Yu and Jiang Li looked rather close, Ye Ming Hui and Ye Ming Xuan had strange expressions.

Waiting until Jiang Li left, Ye Ming Xuan and Ye Ming Hui sat beside Ye Ming Yu. Before they spoke, Ye Ming Yu first opened his mouth. He said: "Eldest brother, second brother, you are really too excessive towards a little girl. How is there such a thing, people intentionally came back to visit mother, but the result? You didn't let her meet. Saying a bit of perfunctory words and still defending against others, even I, being rough and sloppy, can see it. How fragile a little girl's heart is, afraid she has seen it since earlier. She must be quite sad, just not letting you know and still force herself to smile. I say, both of you are already much older, why are you still bullying a little girl?"

Ye Ming Xuan was angered until he almost couldn't let this breath out by Ye Ming Yu's speech. He said: "We are bullying her? Which of your eyes saw us bullying her?"

"Both of my eyes saw it!" Ye Ming Yu pointed at his eyes, "without seeing people, Ah Li understood already and took the initiative to return to her room. That is, the little girl's soft temper, if it were me, I would have made noise since long ago."

"Noisy noisy noisy," Ye Ming Xuan said: "quickly make noise. You think you are still a 10 years old young master. Not reflecting how old you already are, this sentence should be used on yourself!"

"Did you talk to her?" Ye Ming Yu was steady and merely asked.

"Talk." Ye Ming Yu said: "Why?"

"What do you think of her?"

"Good!" Ye Ming Yu patted his thigh, "Way I see it, Ah Li is not an ordinary official young lady. That insight, that communication skill, the two of you should learn carefully from her. I didn't say it, but the ten thousand flower tube I brought back from the ocean fleet, if it's changed to any one of you, no one would know what it is, and also would not know how to use it. But she knows! She can still use it! She also immediately knows the peacock feather that I gave. The most important thing, this girl is loyal! Unlike other girls, the age is older but small-minded."

"Loyal?" Ye Ming Xuan asked: "Why did you say that she's loyal? Did she help you to hide something?"

Ye Ming Yu secretly scolded Ye Ming Xuan's cunningness in his heart. How could he make it out. Ye Ming Yu said that Jiang Li was loyal naturally because Jing Li didn't let out the matter of him returning to Xiangyang earlier and stayed at Xi Hua Lou, and had no intention of saying it. Is this not considered loyal? This is very loyal!
