Ye Li took the wooden box from Qin Feng and opened it. She looked at Ye Wenhua in surprise. There was a piece of warm jade and a pair of jade bells in the old box carved from red sandalwood. She had seen the warm jade before. It was said to be a family heirloom of the Ye family. It was a very valuable piece of warm jade. Old Madame Ye used it to show off. It was said that the ancestors of the Ye family were from a prestigious family. Later, when Wang gave birth to Ye Rong, Ye Wenhua didn't give it to her even though she wanted it. Although she had never seen the jade bells before, they were definitely more valuable than the warm jade. The delicate bells were carved out of white suet jade. There were two jade beads in the hollow and delicate patterns. They jingled when shaken gently. It was very pleasant to hear.
"This is too valuable …" Ye Li said. The Ye family was no longer the Ye family in Chujing City. Moreover, the Ye family was not rich. The two gifts that Ye Wenhua gave were probably more valuable than all the assets of the Ye family combined.
Ye Wenhua waved his hand and rejected the box that Qin Feng brought back. He said, "I only have these two things that I can take out to show people. If I give them to the two children, they can be playthings. If I leave them in the Ye family, they will be gone soon. Moreover … these jade bells were left behind by your mother. Just give them to Xin 'er to play with. "
Seeing that Ye Wenhua was so insistent, Ye Li had no choice but to accept them. She said softly, "I thank you on behalf of the two children." Ye Wenhua shook his head and didn't say anything.
Ye Li thought for a while and asked, "Is Su Yun okay?" When Xu Qingchen came back from Jiangnan, she brought Mo Su Yun back. But Mo Su Yun was weak and timid. No one from the Prince Ding Mansion or the Xu family took care of him. Ye Li had discussed with Xu Qingchen to send the children to the Ye family.
Ye Wenhua sighed, "He is okay. He had changed his name to Ye Su. That child had suffered a lot and was not very courageous. And his body … "Mo Suyun's body was really ruined beyond recognition. Even if Shen Yang and Doctor Lin personally checked his pulse, they both shook their heads, indicating that they were not sure that Mo Suyun could live past the age of twenty. In the past six months, Mo Wu You would visit him every half a month to check on him. It was just a matter of dragging it out. Mo Wu You didn't know that Mo Su Yun wasn't Mo Jingqi's son, so he pitied his half-brother.
Ye Li said, "If his body needs any medicine, just let Worriless come to the Prince Ding Mansion to get it."
Ye Wenhua nodded. The father and daughter were speechless. After a long while, Ye Wenhua said in a low voice, "Li 'er, Ying' er's funeral …" Ye Li looked down and said softly, "Fourth sister didn't want to leave the Li Palace. After she died, Li Wang used the power of the Princess to bury her." Ye Wenhua let out a long sigh and said, "That's good … that's good …" In the first half of his life, he had been obsessed with fame and fortune. He had taught his only son badly. Among his daughters, only Ye Li, the daughter of the first wife, lived a peaceful life. Ye Li was the only one who lived a happy life. But this kind of happiness was obtained by Ye Li after going through many things. These years, although Ye Wenhua didn't go out, he knew what he should know. The things that Ye Li went through these years, not to mention ordinary women, even most men couldn't bear it. As a father, he had nothing to say except for pride.
Looking at Ye Wenhua's old and sad appearance, Ye Li couldn't help but feel sad. With a sigh, Ye Li asked, "Father, do you still remember Concubine Zhao?"
Ye Wenhua was stunned. After a long while, he remembered that he had such a favored concubine in the past. Concubine Zhao was very favored for a period of time. Otherwise, Madam Wang wouldn't have thought of her as a threat. But her status was too low, and the time she spent with Ye Wenhua was too short. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years had passed. Ye Wenhua didn't have a deep impression of her.
"She … Didn't she go to Yunzhou?" Ye Wenhua was puzzled. He didn't understand why Ye Li would mention this woman who hadn't been heard from for more than ten years.
Ye Li nodded and said, "That's right. Father, do you still remember that she was three months pregnant when she left Chu Jing?"
"You mean … You mean she …" Ye Wenhua couldn't help but stand up in shock. After receiving Qin Feng's warning gaze, he realized that he had forgotten himself. But the impact of the child was too big for him. "Li, Li 'er?"
Ye Li nodded calmly and said, "That's right. I knew it before the news spread. She came to me and begged me that Madam Wang would hurt her and the child. But I was about to marry into the Prince Ding Mansion at that time. I didn't have time to care about her. So, I suggested that she go to Yunzhou. In Yunzhou, the Xu family could take care of her more or less. "
"Then … The child is …" Ye Wenhua asked carefully. Ye Rong had completely disappointed him. If the child was a boy, it would be Ye Wenhua's only hope. But if it was a girl … Ye Wenhua was a little uneasy.
Ye Li looked down and said lightly, "It's a boy. He's 12 years old this year. When the child was born, Concubine Zhao wrote to me and asked about it. I named the child Ye 'an. "
"Zian … Zian … Li 'er, thank you … As a father, I have always …" Ye Wenhua's eyes were red. He looked at Ye Li guiltily. All these years, Ye Wenhua had thought about the child. But when he sent people to look for the child, the Ye family's residence in Yunzhou had already changed owners. Concubine Zhao was also nowhere to be found.
Ye Li shook her head and said, "The child is now studying in Lishan Academy. Not long after the Xu family moved to Glass City, Concubine Zhao also sold the residence in Yunzhou and moved to Glass City. Now, she bought some land not far from Lishan Academy and is living there. "
"Thank you, Li 'er." Ye Wenhua didn't know what else to say. He could only repeat it. Ye Li smiled and said lightly, "Don't mention it. He's also my brother. Father, if you have time, you can go and see Concubine Zhao and Zian. I also heard that … Madam Wang has been making trouble for the past two years. " Ye Wenhua was stunned and quickly said, "Don't worry. I will control them well. I won't let the Ye family ruin your reputation."
Ye Li shook her head lightly and didn't say anything.
