Ye Chunnan was a few years older than Ye Zhen. His memory of his mother, Yu Shi, was more profound. Moreover, at that time, Yu Shi gave all her maternal love to him alone. He knew that his sister was not close to her mother when she was a child.
"Mother rarely talks about her maternal family. Growing up, I've only met one little uncle. My memories of him have faded. I heard that Mother and Father were engaged when they were young. It was decided by my maternal grandfather and maternal grandfather. Mother didn't seem to be very willing to marry into the capital. These are the affairs of the elders. I'm not sure why Mother doesn't have any contact with her maternal family. No one in the family has ever mentioned it," said Ye Chunnan.
So, she still didn't know the situation of her mother and her family.
"I didn't expect that mother's family was actually from the jianghu." Ye Zhen sighed. It was not that she looked down on the jianghu, but in the eyes of many famous families, the jianghu people were rude and usually did not get married. In her memory, her mother was dignified and generous, not like someone from the jianghu at all.
Ye Chunnan asked in a low voice, "You suddenly asked about the Yu family. Is it related to the current turmoil in the jianghu?"
"I just accidentally learned that mother was from the Yu family. I was curious and wanted to ask. I hope the recent events in the jianghu have nothing to do with the Yu family." Ye Zhen whispered.
"Yaoyao …" Ye Chunnan glanced at her sister. "It's not that mother doesn't want to love you."
Ye Zhen smiled. "I know, it's because … my sister was sent away."
"I remember that mother used to have nightmares." Ye Chunnan said softly. "If father was here, he might know more."
"Are grandfather and grandmother still alive? How could they ignore mother for so many years? " Ye Zhen felt that her mother's nightmares might be related to Lu Yaoyao who was sent away, but no matter what, there was no reason for her mother's family to be so indifferent.
Ye Chunnan shook her head. "I asked before, but father said that this matter should not be asked by us, so we have not mentioned it for so many years."
"Forget it. Since the Yu family doesn't want to deal with us, we don't have to care too much." She felt a little guilty about her mother, but her mother had been dead for so many years. It was too late for her to do anything.
"Well." Ye Chunnan nodded.
"Even you are concerned about the affairs of the underworld. Has something else happened recently?" Ye Zhen asked.
Before she returned, she heard from Mo Rongzhan that someone had wiped out five sects in one night. Now that more than half a month had passed, she wondered if there were any new developments. Perhaps she knew who had the ability to do so.
Ye Chunnan frowned, his expression grave. "Now, all the sects in the Jianghu are in danger. They don't know when they will be destroyed. They don't even know why the Yan Family was destroyed."
"This is indeed very strange." Ye Rou said in a low voice. She felt that this should be a sect. For it to be able to quietly strengthen itself and hide in the Jianghu without anyone knowing, it could be seen how powerful this person was.
What she was most worried about was that this person's martial arts was not something an ordinary person could deal with. Who would be able to subdue him?
Ye Chunnan didn't want his sister to worry too much about the Jianghu, so he pretended to be relaxed and said, "Don't worry too much. This time, it's not just the Jin State that's involved. There are also sects in the Qi State that were destroyed. Zhao Yong definitely won't sit back and do nothing. No matter how powerful the sects in the Jianghu are, can they be more powerful than the imperial court?"
That's right! Ye Zhen felt that it was useless for her to worry about this matter. Mo Rongzhan had already asked Tang Zhen to investigate. She just had to wait for news from Tang Zhen.
On the other side, Jin Shanshan was playing with his son and Ming Yu in the room. Children are forgetful. Ye Mucheng soon forgot about being bitten by Ming Yu. When he saw the toys in Ming Yu's room, he had long been attracted to them. He played with Ming Yu. He had just learned to sit and was still unstable on the kang, so he fell on Ming Yu's body when he moved.
Jin Shanshan was a little worried, fearing that Ming Yu would accidentally hurt his son again. However, he saw Ming Yu carefully supporting Ye Mucheng. "Cousin, you have to sit properly. It will hurt if you fall."
"Be good, and I'll give you these later."
"Hey, are you hungry?"
"Aunt, Brother peed …"
When Ye Zhen came over, she saw her daughter taking care of her cousin like an elder sister. She smiled and walked in.
"Niang." Jin Shanshan was about to change the child's clothes when he saw Ye Zhen coming.
"The emperor has something to discuss with my brother. He went to the Palace of Heavenly Purity first and will pick you up after lunch." Ye Zhen said to Jin Shanshan with a smile.
Ye Mucheng suddenly cried in Jin Shanshan's arms. He was hungry.
Jin Shanshan was a little embarrassed. She carried him to the back of the screen to feed him. When the child was full, he was already asleep in her arms.
"If Father sees him, he will be very happy." Ye Zhen looked down at her little nephew. She asked Yi Man to bring a letter to Ye Yiqing when he went back. He should receive the letter and know that his brother had a son.
"Will Father … come back in the future?" Jin Shanshan gently put the child on the bed and slept with Ming Yu.
"Did Brother say anything to you?" Ye Zhen asked in a low voice.
Jin Shanshan looked down at his son. "He doesn't understand why Father doesn't come back."
Even if Ye Yiqing did it for Zhao Yang, Zhao Yang has already given birth to a son. It's time for her to return to the family.
"Father has his own considerations. Even if he doesn't come back, it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about Brother. Even if Zhao Yang gives birth to a child, Brother still has the same position in Father's mind." Ye Zhen sighed. "If it weren't for so many ties here, I wouldn't want to come back."
Jin Shanshan patted the back of her hand. "Don't say that out loud."
"How have things been at home these years?" Ye Zhen asked with a smile. She didn't regret being taken to the Atlantic Ocean by her father, but she also didn't regret coming back now.
"The emperor thinks highly of Xianggong. Everything at home is naturally good." Jin Shanshan said with a smile.
Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows slightly. Listening to the meaning of these words, it seemed that something was wrong. "Is there anyone who doesn't like our Ye family?"
"It's not that I don't like them, it's just …" Jin Shanshan thought for a moment before saying, "The Ye family has been through ups and downs, and it is inevitable that there will be some grievances between big families. However, now that everyone knows that the emperor has Xianggong, even if there is gossip, they only dare to whisper behind his back."
"Hmph, those are all people who used to have grievances with Uncle." Ye Zhen said snappily. "Fortunately, Brother's temper has been restrained. If it were in the past, he would have had more grievances with these people."
There were many people who couldn't bear to see the Ye family make a comeback in the hands of Ye Chunnan. Now, there were still people in the court who opposed Ye Chunnan. Unfortunately, the emperor valued Ye Chunnan and was not worried that there would be a second Ye Yisong. What could those people do?
