The Earth Is My Dantian

Chapter 66 Chapter 11, Exasperation (5th update)

The eldest sister vented her anger and directly tore up the letter written by King Ye.

“What nonsense. Twelfth brother, you must not waver in your thoughts. If the Old Lady is lonely, she has plenty of grandchildren to accompany her. She doesn’t need you at all,”the eldest sister consoled ye Sheng.

“I don’t waver in my thoughts. I just feel angry. Everyone knows that the old lady doesn’t like me. I thought that by moving out of the Ye residence, I would be able to keep my eyes off her, but I didn’t expect her to hate me so much, “Ye Sheng shook his head and said.

“The old madam is getting old, and she’s very stubborn. The difference between a legitimate child and a bastard child is like heaven and earth in her eyes. Even I don’t have a good expression on my face, so don’t worry about it,”the big sister coldly harrumphed.

“After writing this letter, the old madam asked me to come and serve her. If I don’t go, it’ll be detrimental in name,”ye Sheng lightly said.

Great Qin governed the country according to law and ruled the family with filial piety. If a person’s filial piety went awry, they would definitely be criticized by others. Not to mention others, even those in the literary world could criticize Ye Sheng to death.

Even though Ye Sheng didn’t care, he was in Great Qin and was in Jixia Academy. Once these rumors swirled, it would be quite terrifying.

The big sister furrowed her brows and lightly bit her lips, feeling that Ye Sheng was right.

“I’ll use my status as a noble consort to suppress this matter. However, if the old lady doesn’t care about her face and wants to drag you back to the manor, I won’t be able to do anything.”The big sister gritted her teeth.

Eunuch Lin, who was standing silently by the side, hesitated for a moment before saying, “Your Majesty, this old servant has something to say, but I don’t know if I should say it.”

The eldest sister’s eyes lit up and said, “You’re my trusted aide. If you have something to say, just say it.”

Ye Sheng also looked at him curiously.

Eunuch Lin said in a low voice, “That old madam of the Ye Manor isn’t a person that can be easily fooled. She’s old and shrewd. Even though she doesn’t have much cultivation, she’s King Ye’s mother. She’s the only one in Great Qin and has a respected status. If Young Master Ye Sheng wants to get rid of this matter, he must have a legitimate reason.”

The eldest sister sighed and said, “Ye Sheng is studying at Ji Xia Academy, and if he can’t find a legitimate reason, he can still study when he returns to the manor.”

Ye Sheng silently nodded. The Ye family had a private school to teach its disciples, but the quality of the school was comparable to that of a kindergarten or Tsinghua University.

Eunuch Lin smiled and said, “Your Majesty, His Majesty will soon be going to the Western Mountains to hunt. All the princes, Princes, ministers, and outstanding youths will participate, and if you win the top few places, you will be awarded a noble title. Young Master Ye Sheng can go, and in response to the old madam of the Ye family, Ye Sheng will be going to the western mountains to hunt and serve the country. That way, the old madam will have no reason to let young master Ye Sheng go back.”

The elder sister and Ye Sheng suddenly understood. This was a good move. A country, a country. Only with a country would there be a home.

The old lady used filial piety to oppress ye Sheng. This was a family matter, and Ye Sheng using national matters to report back to the old lady was using national matters to oppress family matters.

In this way, no one could find fault.

“Good Idea.”The elder sister smiled and held Ye Sheng’s hand. “Twelfth brother, do you have the confidence to get a good ranking in the west mountain hunting?”

Ye Sheng did not guarantee it. Instead, he asked, “When is the west mountain hunting?” “In half a month’s time. By then, all the aristocratic families, officials, and children of Xianyang will participate. There are even some disciples of the sects who have come. The quota has already been given out. I can get a quota for you, but the competition is fierce,”the eldest sister said worriedly.

The hunting in the west mountain was very dangerous. People would die every year, and not one or two would die. After all, in the depths of the West Mountain, no one knew what was going on.

Ye Sheng smiled slightly and said, “Eldest sister, I am confident that I can get a good ranking.”

“Okay, I will arrange this for you. You Go back to Jixia Academy first. You Don’t need to worry about the matters in the Ye residence. I will handle it personally this time.”The eldest sister’s eyes were very cold. She was really angry.

Although the eldest sister was gentle and amiable in front of Ye Sheng, that was only towards Ye Sheng. She doted on her younger brother the most. In front of others, she was the powerful Noble Consort Ye.

She didn’t have much skill, yet she was able to stand firm in the harem. How could she guard such a large garden?

Ye Sheng took his leave. Eunuch Lin sent Ye Sheng out once again. Meanwhile, Noble Consort Ye wrote a letter and had someone send it to the ye residence overnight.

Night had fallen in the Ye residence. The old madam had already gone to bed. She was getting on in years. Although there were all kinds of pills and treasures to nourish her body, she still maintained a good rest. She went to bed early and got up early. She never forgot to eat three meals a day.

No one dared to disturb the old madam when she was asleep. The old Granny who was with her walked around anxiously when she received Noble Consort Ye’s letter. However, she did not dare to knock on the door.

“What are you doing pacing back and forth at the door in the middle of the night?”The old lady’s dissatisfied voice sounded. She was old and had a light sleep. She was very angry that she had woken up so quickly.

The old Granny pushed the door open and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy. “The old lady doesn’t blame me. It’s an urgent letter. I didn’t dare to disturb you.”

“Alright, I’ll let you off this time. What Letter?”The old lady said unhappily.

The old woman immediately handed the letter over and said, “It’s from the palace. It’s a letter from the eldest young miss.” “What’s so good about that girl’s letter?”The old lady said in disgust.

“She’s a noble consort after all. You should take a look,”the old woman said softly.

The old lady thought it made sense and opened the letter.

At first glance, the old lady was furious. She said angrily, “This is simply outrageous. This girl ridiculed me so much. She’s cursing me to die.”

The old granny was shocked. She did not know what was written in the letter, which made the old madam furious.

“This bastard argued for that B * Stard Ye Sheng in the letter. He said that he wanted to participate in the west mountain hunting and asked me not to disturb him so as to not affect his results. He also said that if I missed my grandson, I would call Ye Kun back to serve him. She also said that I was already old and that I might die and not be able to see Ye Kun. Now that I see him more, this is outrageous. I am so angry.”The old madam was burning with anger, she had always been a tyrant in the manor. When had she ever been humiliated like this.

To say that an old man had died was the greatest insult. However, the letter written by the eldest sister was sincere. Both the words and the words seemed to be worried about the old lady’s health.

SH * t!

The old lady was old and shrewd. Couldn’t she see through such sarcastic words?

“This noble consort and the twelve sons are the children of this lowly servant. They were born wild and did not take off their clothes. They are truly bastards. They are dead, but I am still alive.”The old lady was so angry that her head hurt. She cursed and cursed at the same time. She was so angry that her body was trembling.

“This, old lady, what should we do? Ye Kun is the eldest Madam’s child and also the eldest son of the manor. There is absolutely no reason for him to be recalled.”The old granny was panicking

“What do you mean by ‘what should we do? Let’s just forget about this matter. I said to let the twelve sons come back. Didn’t you see that she wrote a letter asking me to die in the West? If I were to mention it again, wouldn’t she directly send someone to give me three feet of white silk or a cup of poisoned wine?”The old Granny’s expression was filled with resentment, she slapped the edge of the bed and roared.

“Write a letter to Ye Kun. He will also participate in the West Mountain Hunt and have him kill the Twelve Sons for me on the West Mountain. If I don’t kill such a vile creature, will he still be left to tarnish the reputation of My Ye Manor?”The old Granny said viciously.

“I can’t do anything to that person in the palace. How dare a mere twelve sons disobey me? Are you trying to turn the sky upside down? I Am the Old Lady of the Ye residence, the mother of Lord Ye. Without me, they wouldn’t even know where they are.”The old lady kept muttering like she was going crazy, hatred seeped into her bones, and she was exasperated.
