Chapter 355

As sisters-in-law, she had never had the opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk with her brother-in-law like this. This was the first time. She discovered that some of her brother-in-law's actions and mannerisms were very similar to her late husband's. Of course, she did not have the bold idea that this person was her husband. She just believed that twin brothers were very similar. Seeing those familiar mannerisms and mannerisms and thinking of her late husband instead made her even sadder.

Ye Xiao 'an sat for a very long time. All words of comfort seemed so powerless to him, but he could not help but comfort her. The sister-in-law cried for a while more. She vented her emotions and gradually calmed down. Only then did Ye Xiao 'an bid farewell reluctantly.

Ye Xiao 'an left the courtyard and stood at the entrance in a daze for a while. Just when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw many servant girls and old women rushing over with hurried footsteps. He could not help but be surprised. "What's happened?"

Ye Xiao 'an stopped an old woman and asked. The old woman bowed to him in a hurry. "Master, Miss Ye is about to give birth. She's about to give birth."

"Miss Ye?" Ye Xiao 'an was dazed for a moment before he remembered this woman. After Mao Wenzhi's death, Miss Ye's status in the Ye family was very awkward. She was neither a servant nor a relative. As the wife of a sworn brother, her status was obviously lower, so it was rather inconvenient for her to live in the Ye family.

However, Ye Xiaotian had his own ways. He arranged for Miss Ye to become his adoptive mother and father, so it was only natural for her to live in the Ye family as his adopted daughter. However, Miss Ye was pregnant, so she rarely showed herself in public. Ever since Ye Xiao 'an had come to Crouching Ox Ridge from the capital, he had only seen her a few times.

Ye Xiao 'an obviously did not care about Miss Ye giving birth, but when he thought about his current identity, he could not remain silent. As a result, he strolled over and followed the servant girls to Miss Ye's residence.

When he arrived at Miss Ye's residence, Ye Xiao 'an secretly rejoiced that he had come. Fortunately, his parents, sister-in-law, and Duo Ni were all present. They clearly treated Miss Ye as family. With Ye Xiao 'an's current status, as long as he knew the news, there was no reason for him not to come.

"Master …"

His mother and Duo Ni both called out to him. Ye Xiao 'an nodded and glanced at the room worriedly. "How is it?"

Madame Ye called Miss Ye's name and said, "Qian 'er's body is very strong. She should be fine. Duo Ni, go in with mother and help!"

Aunt Ye called Little Miss Ye's name and said, "Qian 'er, this child's body is very strong. There shouldn't be any major problems. Doni, follow mother to help!"

"Yes!" Duo Ni replied and followed Ye Xiao 'mother into the room. Although there was a midwife inside, personally guarding the side was better than listening to the news outside. Besides, Aunty Ye had given birth before, so she could be of some help.

Old Man Ye and Ye Xiao 'an stood at the door and stretched their necks, waiting for a while, but to no avail. They looked at each other and sat in a side room to listen to the news. Suddenly, a cheer. of and said. chat. Father and son chat. The father and son chat.. to. to, for a sisterto talk.

Old Man Ye was delighted and said, "She gave birth!"

Old Man Ye swiftly stood up and walked out. He repeatedly said, "Did she give birth? Did she give birth? Old Ye quickly stood up and walked out. He said, "Congratulations, Old Master, you have a grandson."

The servant girl who rushed out to report the news hurriedly bowed. "Congratulations, Old Master. Congratulations, Old Master. You have a grandson."

Old Man Ye was stunned for a moment before bursting into laughter. Ye Xiao 'an followed him out of the room. Looking at his gray-haired father laughing out loud, for some reason, a picture that he had never seen before suddenly appeared in his mind.

Ye Xiao 'an followed him out of the room. Seeing his white-haired father laughing loudly, for some reason, a scene that he had never seen before suddenly appeared in his mind. No, he must have laughed even more happily. That was his own flesh and blood. Every father, when their flesh and blood were born, should be just as excited, just as happy.

But from then on, ever since they were young, his father had poured so much love and care into them. What did he give his father in return? Disappointment again and again, sadness again and again …

If he didn't have this opportunity to recollect his "life" time and time again with another person's identity, he wouldn't have been able to have such a clear understanding of himself. But now, he had such an opportunity.

"From now on, this child is my child!"

Ye Xiao 'an suddenly announced. Facing everyone's surprised gazes, Ye Xiao' an said loudly, "Brother Mao and I are like brothers. I believe that Brother Mao will not object. I, Ye Xiaotian, recognize this child. From now on, he is my eldest son! "

Ye Xiao 'an said. He prayed silently in his heart, "Xiao' er, you died early and didn't leave a bloodline to pass on your legacy. I recognize this child for you. If your spirit is in heaven, you will agree, right? "

Ye Xiao 'an's birth brought a sense of joy to the Ye family. The sad atmosphere became lighter. Because of this, the whole family tossed about for a long time. Only when the lanterns were lit did the exhausted Ye Xiao' an leave to rest.

His residence had already been prepared. Because he had announced before the memorial that he would mourn for "Big Brother" for a year, the residence immediately prepared a house for him. A thin hard bed and plain tea and food were all ordered by Ye Xiao 'an. He had to strictly observe the mourning period.

A thin hard bed, plain tea and food, different rooms, no marriage, no buying or selling property, these were the rituals that should be observed during the mourning period. Different rooms meant different beds. What would happen if they slept in the same room? Who knew if they slept in the same bed? Of course, they had to live separately.

These were all within the calculations of Yang Yinglong, Tian Xiufeng, and the others. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to guarantee that this deceptive plan could be carried out smoothly. Ye Xiao 'an untied the mourning belt around his waist, took off his outer robe, and lay down on the bed tiredly. Just as he heaved a sigh of relief, a clear call came from outside the door, "Sir, have you rested?"

This haunting … Ye Xiao 'an recognized the voice of "Tian Zaixing." He reluctantly got up and walked over to open the door.

Tian Binfei sat on four wheelchairs. Two young men, one with a long and thin face and the other with a dark face, stood side by side behind him. Once they saw the door open, they carried his wheelchair through the threshold and consciously closed the door for them.

"You did very well today!"

Tian Binfei said with a smile as he pushed the wheelchair inside. "Look, as long as you are careful, no one will notice anything unusual. Even if your closest relatives occasionally see some familiar actions, they can only think that it's an illusion caused by missing their dead relatives. Even if they have doubts, they can only hide it in their hearts. Who dares to stand out and say for sure that you are not you?"

Tian Binfei turned the wheel and turned a circle. He stopped facing Ye Xiao 'an. "You don't have to look so bad. Don't you think this is the best way to protect your Ye family? Don't you think this is your only chance to hold your head high? "

Ye Xiao 'an said coldly, "It's so late. Did Mr. Tian come all the way here just to say this nonsense to me?"

Tian Binfei smiled slightly and said, "Of course not! I just came to tell you what to do next. "

Ye Xiao 'an snorted angrily. Tian Binfei didn't mind and said, "With the mourning period, you and your second brother's woman can avoid too much contact. As for your parents, you can only go and greet them every day. If even this can reveal a flaw, then it can only mean that you deliberately did it. "

Ye Xiao 'an said coldly, "You came to tell me this?"

"Of course … not all of it!"

Tian Binfei fished out a list from his sleeve with a smile. "'You' have already agreed to sir Futai to set up a department in the areas under your control to enforce the law. The officials are appointed by the imperial court, but it cannot do without the great support of the Crouching Bull Ridge. You need the Crouching Bull Ridge to send people to help maintain it. You might as well take this list and arrange for them to be in the various law enforcement offices … "

Ye Xiao 'an was immediately surprised. He knew without asking that the people on the list were definitely from the Crouching Bull Ridge. However, since "Tian Zaixing" had taken it out, these people were definitely Yang Yinglong's people. Yang Yinglong had used the opportunity of the various heroes rushing to the Crouching Bull Ridge to seek refuge. He should have sent many people to "seek refuge", right?

The people Yang Yinglong had sent definitely had their own skills. It would not be difficult for them to stand out from the large number of people seeking refuge in the Crouching Bull Ridge. Afterwards, they would be sent out by him and spread to the various places. That was equivalent to the authority of law enforcement falling into their hands. Once they settled down …

Tian Binfei passed the piece of paper to Ye Xiao 'an and said, "Now that the situation has been settled, it's inadvisable for us to continue expanding. Instead, we should consolidate our current territory. Of course, we need to send out some capable assistants to maintain the place, such as Gedore and Li Qiuchi. You can gradually dismiss those who are in the way and overly shrewd and promote some' trusted aides' to take up positions …"

Ye Xiao 'an said coldly, "Where would my trusted aides come from?"

Tian Binfei smiled. "They're obviously 'trusted aides' that the heavenly monarch has sent to you. Just do what you need to do first. When the time comes, the heavenly monarch will send over another list. You just need to follow the list!"

After the baptism of life and death, Ye Xiao 'an's temperament had changed a lot, but it was only his temperament that changed, not his intelligence. Originally, he wanted to pretend to be a waiter and maintain the Crouching Bull Ridge, gradually establishing his own organisation and gaining the recognition of the various factions in the Crouching Bull Ridge. At that time, he could turn around and make things difficult for Yang Yinglong and take revenge.

However, who would have thought that Yang Yinglong's plan was not just to replace the waiter with him, but also so many detailed backup plans. If he allowed these people to control the "royal court", what would he use to make things difficult for Yang Yinglong even if he wanted to make things difficult for him? No matter how unwilling he was, he would only be able to become a "puppet".

He was completely unable to think of a way to deal with this situation.

Ye Xiao 'an's heart chilled to the bone …

The night was as cold as water. The boat stopped downstream from the mouth of Black Gully, and they could clearly hear the waterfall upstream. When Tian Miaowen arrived, it was already late. The boat stopped after passing the mouth of Black Gully, temporarily resting there for the night.

Tian Miaowen stood at the front of the boat and stared at the endless darkness below in a daze. Who knew what she was thinking. She had handed over everything to the Tian family and returned to the Crouching Bull Ridge. This was supposed to be a very ordinary journey, so why did she stand at the front of the boat after it stopped, as if she was troubled?

As Tian Miaowen's trusted aide and companion who had grown up with her, Dang Yanming had always regarded himself as the young lady's confidant. However, he discovered that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to read the young lady's thoughts. In particular, on the return trip this time, he discovered that the young lady had changed drastically, but he was unable to put his finger on it. It was rather strange …
