The matter of Ye Zhen's heavenly spiritual root was suppressed. Not many people in the Ye family knew about it. The Great Elder came to Ye Boshu several times, but Ye Shizhong perfunctorily brushed him off. He only said that the Patriarch needed to cultivate in seclusion and that it was not appropriate to disturb him at this time.
The Great Elder had no choice but to give up. He wanted Ye Zhen to go to the family school for lessons first. He would teach her personally and only teach her. This matter was also rejected by Ye Shizhong.
"Ye Zhen has been conferred the title of princess, and soon she will marry the lord of Tianhao City. She has lived in the mountains since she was a child. At this time, what she needs is not to learn martial arts, but to learn the rules, so as not to lose the face of Zhou State, the king will blame her." Ye Shizhong smiled.
"What?" The Great Elder was taken aback. "How can we let Ye Zhen marry into Haotian City? She … she has a heavenly spiritual root. For our Ye Family, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity."
Ye Shizhong sighed softly, "This is the King's Imperial Decree, I can't do anything about it."
"Does the patriarch … also agree?" The Great Elder's face was solemn. If Ye Zhen was allowed to marry into Haotian City, it would be a reckless waste of God's gifts.
"Even if Father doesn't agree, are you going to defy the decree?" Ye Shizhong asked.
The Great Elder's eyes sank. He looked at Ye Shizhong and said, "I want to see Ye Zhen."
The smile on Ye Shizhong's face faded slightly. "Great Elder, what's the use of seeing her?"
"No matter what, she has already gone to the family school and even passed the test. We have to give her an explanation." Great Elder said in a low voice.
"This … she's just a little girl. What explanation do you need to give her?" Ye Shizhong smiled, not wanting the Great Elder to see Ye Zhen.
The Great Elder looked at Ye Shizhong suspiciously. "Shizhong, you don't seem to want me to see that child."
"Great Elder, you think too much." Ye Shizhong smiled. "It's just that Ye Zhen is still learning the rules, and I'm afraid of disturbing her."
"If that's the case, then I'll have to use a special method to invite the Patriarch out of seclusion." The Great Elder sighed.
Ye Shizhong's face changed slightly, "That's not necessary, Great Elder, I will arrange for Ye Zhen to see you."
"I want to see that child today." The Great Elder's tone was firm.
"Okay." Ye Shizhong forced a smile. "I'll get someone to bring her over."
The Grand Elder nodded lightly. "Alright, I'll be waiting."
"Go and invite Third Young Lady over." Ye Shizhong's face darkened. He hoped that Ye Rou would be tactful. He had already made it clear to her yesterday.
In the backyard, two aunts sent by Ye Shizhong stood in front of Ye Zhen, saying that they were here to teach her the rules.
After listening to the lecture for half a day, she realized that the rules here were no different from what she had learned before. She had already learned it twice, so she was not interested in listening to the lecture a third time. What she wanted to learn were cultivation methods. Previously, she thought that she did not have spirit roots, so she naturally did not care. Now that she had spirit roots, she could learn cultivation methods. She definitely wanted to learn them. In this continent where everyone had cultivation, if she did not learn how to protect herself, then no one would protect her.
There was no Mo Rongzhan, no brother, and no father here. There was only herself and her missing son.
"I understand what you are saying." Ye Zhen interrupted the two aunts. "I don't want to learn anymore."
The two aunts looked at each other. "Third Young Lady, we were ordered to teach you."
"I already know what you are teaching, so you don't have to teach me anymore." Ye Zhen said.
How could a girl who came out of the forest have learned these aristocratic family rules? The two aunts obviously did not believe her.
"Third Young Lady, you'd better not embarrass us. It's hard for us to explain to the Grand Elder." One of the aunts, whose face was like a silver plate, said softly. She straightened her back and her tone was polite to Ye Zhen, but her attitude was not very respectful.
She seemed to be a servant of the First Madam, surnamed Xian.
"Aunt Xian, it's not that I'm embarrassing you, it's that you are embarrassing me." Ye Zhen said helplessly. She was the most helpless one.
"As long as the young lady learns the rules, we will naturally not be here." Aunt Xian said.
Ye Zhen simply sat down. "I don't want to learn. You can do as you please."
"Third Young Lady!" Aunt Xian's face was gloomy. "If you continue to be like this, we will have to tell the Grand Elder about this matter and let him decide."
"Oh, okay, you go and tell him." Ye Zhen waved her hand.
There was a hint of anger on Aunt Xian's face. She was part of the First Madam's dowry. Because she had been practicing martial arts with the First Madam since she was a child, she was quite outstanding among the servants. She was respected in the Ye Family. Even the eldest daughter of the Ye Family would politely call her Aunt Xian.
"Then don't blame me, Third Young Lady." Aunt Xian's eyes flashed with a touch of ruthlessness. She changed her hand gesture and a fierce wind suddenly appeared on the ground, binding Ye Zhen's hands and feet.
"What do you want to do?" Ye Zhen could not move her hands and feet. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Aunt Xian. I can't tell that even a servant can cultivate.
I'm not even as good as a servant! Ye Zhen felt a little disgusted.
"Since the Third Young Lady refuses to cooperate, we have to use other ways to make you obedient." Aunt Xian sneered.
"Aunt Xian, she is the Third Young Lady after all. Will there be any problems if we do this?" Another aunt asked in a low voice.
"Calling her the Third Young Lady is to give face to the Second Master. Look at her, she doesn't look like a Miss of the Ye family." Aunt Xian's eyes were full of contempt. "If it weren't for her identity, she might not be able to appear here now. She's just a substitute. Does she really think she is the master?"
Ye Zhen narrowed her eyes slightly. "You want to force me to learn the rules here? You are really a good servant. Even if I come from the mountains, I am the authentic Miss of the Ye family. What are you? "
Aunt Xian's mouth evoked a sneer. "You are really stubborn. I'll see what you, the Miss of the Ye family, can do."
As soon as she finished speaking, her hands suddenly tightened.
Ye Zhen felt that the wind that bound her arms and calves increased, and the pain made her forehead sweat.
"If you have the ability, break free from these wind ropes." Aunt Xian smiled and waved her hand, watching Ye Zhen fall to the ground.
She was bullied like this by a servant! Ye Zhen was unwilling, but the more she tried to break free, the tighter the wind ropes bound her. What should she do?
"Third Young Lady, you don't even have a little cultivation. If it weren't for the Ye family protecting you, do you think you could survive in this world?" Aunt Xian looked at Ye Zhen condescendingly. "Don't think of so many crooked ideas. It's your blessing to marry the Eldest Young Lady to Haotian City."
"Are you saying that my blessing is to die for others?" Ye Zhen asked with a sneer.
Aunt Xian chuckled. It turned out that this girl knew everything. "It's your honor to die for the Eldest Young Lady."
"Oh, but I don't want to." Ye Zhen said lightly, "Aunt Xian, you'd better kill me here today. Otherwise, you will regret it."
