QWAPMP Chapter 105

Chapter 105: The Eunuch Little Wife

Song Family Village was bustling with activity, and similarly, the Yan residence was also very lively. Outside Madam Yan’s room, a maid stood guard with a troubled expression, holding a tray of food. She whispered to the person next to her, “What should we do? Madam hasn’t eaten for almost a day.”

“I don’t know what to do either. How about we go find the young master? After all, Madam is the young master’s mother.”

After they both said that, they felt it made a lot of sense, so they secretly slipped away.

Lu Yishuang, who had been secretly listening to their conversation, closed the door to the room and walked to the bedside, saying to the woman lying there, “Aunt, those two maids have already gone to find cousin. Cousin will be here soon.”

A cold smile appeared on Madam Yan’s lips. She refused to believe that even starving herself wouldn’t soften her son’s heart.

Her niece becoming a concubine was Madam Yan’s final concession. Unexpectedly, this morning she just mentioned letting her son take her niece in first, but never expected to be rejected by her son, who even declared he would not take any concubines.

This angered Madam Yan to the point of throwing her chopsticks on the spot, and she hasn’t eaten a bite since.

Yan Ye had just finished discussing the marriage matters with the original owner’s father. As soon as he left the study, he was stopped by two maids.

“Young master, Madam hasn’t eaten anything all day. Would you like to go and take a look?”

“Is Mother so sick that she can’t even eat? This young master is neither a divine doctor nor does he have a solution.”

Master Yan followed him out of the study and overheard his son cursing his mother. He casually reprimanded him, “Don’t talk nonsense. You don’t need to worry about your mother. Since you’re going to pick someone up, then go ahead.”

Yan Ye chuckled, “Father’s right, I’ll be going then.”

As soon as Yan Ye left, Master Yan’s face turned cold as he said to the two maids, “Go back and tell your Madam, if she continues to make such a fuss, I’ll let the Second Madam manage the household.”

The Second Madam was also Liu Niang.

After hearing the maids relay Master Yan’s words, Madam Yan angrily smashed several vases, and the word “slut” almost slipped out of her mouth several times, showing how much she hated Liu Niang in her heart.

Outside the Yan residence, Liu Niang returned from shopping on the street. As soon as she got off the sedan, she saw a person hiding behind the stone lion on the left side of the gate. The person’s back looked thin, like a woman or a young brother.

Liu Niang paused her steps into the residence, as if she had thought of something. She took a step back, and her eyes met Song Yi’s squarely.

Oh, it was actually a young brother!

A hint of amusement appeared in Liu Niang’s eyes, as if she had guessed something. She beckoned and instructed the servants a few words, then let them go in first.

Song Yi had arrived in the county town last night, and had been guarding here all night. Because he couldn’t wait any longer to see the person he wanted to see, he was really anxious today, and hadn’t had time to withdraw his gaze when he was discovered, wondering if this woman was Yan Ye’s mother.

He was silent, and Liu Niang was patient. She took out the almond cake she had bought on the street. “Are you from the countryside? You must be hungry, would you like something to eat first?”

Song Yi didn’t take it. His dark eyes were fixed on the woman, wanting to see any resemblance to Yan Ye on her face, so he could confirm if they were mother and son.

Liu Niang felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. She picked up a piece of almond cake and took a bite, saying softly, “Since you’re not eating, I’ll eat it myself.”

She finished a piece of almond cake in a few small bites, but the young brother still didn’t say a word. Liu Niang thought for a moment, put down the remaining almond cake, and said kindly, “I guess you’re waiting for Yan Ye.”

The woman was indeed Yan Ye’s relative. Song Yi’s eyes shifted slightly. He picked up the almond cake the woman had given him and took a small bite. “Thank you.”

The young brother’s voice was very soft, sounding like a shy and bashful character. Thinking about the days ahead for him in the Yan family, Liu Niang looked at him with some pity. “The person you’re waiting for will be out soon.” She hoped that such a good-looking young brother could outsmart his dear mother-in-law.

Liu Niang didn’t stay long and left quickly, without even telling Song Yi who she was in the Yan family, which made Song Yi keep guessing her identity in his heart.

Until, a gentle voice softly called his name.

“Yi Ge’er.”

Yan Ye never expected that Song Yi would run to the county town to find him alone. What had forced him to run to the county town?

The almond cake in Song Yi’s throat hadn’t gone down yet. When he saw Yan Ye appear, a trace of fear and grievance finally appeared on his dazed and helpless face.

Yes, he was afraid of being alone in the county town, not being able to find Yan Ye and not knowing what to do. He was also afraid that Yan Ye’s previous words were all lies.

Song Yi struggled to swallow the food in his throat, and the first thing he said was, “Don’t leave me alone again.”

Yan Ye looked at the eyes that revealed grievance and fear, and reached out to hug him, but found that Song Yi was very cold. “How long have you been waiting for me here?”

Why couldn’t he have come out earlier and found him?

Song Yi honestly said one night, which resulted in Yan Ye’s face turning cold. Then, he was brought into the Yan family.

Half an hour later, the entire Yan residence knew that their young master had brought back a young brother from outside.

A servant cleaning the courtyard whispered to a companion, “Did you know? We’re going to have a young mistress soon.”

“I know, I know, I saw it just now. Our young master was holding that young brother’s hand as he came in.”

“That’s right, if the young master gets married, we might even get some lucky money.”

Hearing them getting happier and happier, really treating the young brother as the young mistress, Lu Yishuang, standing under the eaves, felt a surge of anger in her eyes. She came out and scolded, “What are you talking about without working? Do you believe I’ll have my aunt sell you all off?”

The servants were immediately frightened when they heard that she wanted to sell them off, and dropped the brooms in their hands, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, “Little ones will work right away, will work right away.”

Liu Niang appeared at this time with a smile, “Rather than making things difficult for these servants here, Miss Biao might as well go and see your future cousin-in-law. Today I saw the person, and his appearance is no worse than the young brothers in our city. No wonder he can make your cousin so determined to marry him, ha ha ha…”

Liu Niang’s appearance and her words undoubtedly stimulated Lu Yishuang, and she had hated this cousin for a long time.

It was enough that the Yan family had Madam Yan as the only mistress. When could a guest also be the second mistress of the Yan family?

Lu Yishuang gripped the handkerchief in her hand, trying to remain calm and said, “Liu Niang, don’t forget that cousin is my aunt’s son. My aunt hasn’t nodded and agreed to cousin yet, so where would I get a cousin-in-law?”

“But Master has agreed, hasn’t he?” Liu Niang said with a smile.

With one sentence, she successfully angered Lu Yishuang away. Those servants who didn’t dare to breathe loudly saw her leave and each breathed a sigh of relief, thanking Liu Niang, “Thank you, Second Madam.”

Liu Niang waved her hand dismissively, saying softly, “She’s just a guest, you don’t need to be so afraid of her.”

If that young brother was skilled enough, then the position of mistress of this Yan family’s backyard would also change.

Liu Niang smiled, but it was also true, if this young brother wasn’t skilled, how could he have hooked that woman’s son?

In Qingfeng Xuan, Song Yi sat quietly on the couch, his eyes downcast, not daring to meet the man’s gaze. He pursed his lips and unconsciously twisted the corners of his clothes.

He had recounted the events that had happened after the man left, but never expected that the man’s expression was even worse than when he had heard that he had waited all night, and even angrier.

Song Yi thought that it wasn’t his fault, but the man was still treating him like this, and his mood immediately sank to the bottom. Perhaps he shouldn’t have come to find him.

“If you mind that I was kidnapped by them, then the marriage we talked about before can be called off.” Song Yi said, and was about to get off the couch to put on his shoes and leave.

“Are you saying this to anger me?” Yan Ye asked, stopping his movement.

Song Yi avoided his touch, hugged his knees with both hands, and looked injured. “Then why have you been giving me the cold shoulder?”

“I didn’t, I just…”

“You did.” Song Yi’s nose twitched slightly, and a layer of mist appeared in his eyes.

Yan Ye knew that he was in the wrong. “I was wrong, can my little wife forgive me?”

Song Yi looked up at him blankly, and the little bit of grievance in his heart disappeared instantly after hearing the man’s deliberate flattery. “I’m just too scared.”

He was afraid that Yan Ye would be disgusted with him like everyone else.

Song Yi wasn’t always a young brother that everyone disliked. He used to be the little lucky star in the village’s mouths, and later became the most promising brother in their mouths, but everything changed after he was exiled from the palace.

Song Yi didn’t dare to think that if Yan Ye didn’t marry him, then if he went back to Song Family Village, who would those people want to marry him to?

So he could only tightly grasp Yan Ye, this life-saving straw, and not let go.

The young brother’s mind was full of thoughts, and although Yan Ye saw it, he still allowed him to have his own little thoughts, and was willing to indulge him.

The servants brought the clothes that the young brother could wear and put them on the table. Yan Ye walked over and took them to the couch, coaxing gently, “I’ve already told Father about the two of us. How about you change your clothes and go meet him with me?”

Song Yi looked at him in surprise. “Our matter? He agreed?”

“Of course, I originally wanted to go back today to tell you, and then bring you over to get married.” Yan Ye shook out the folded clothes and looked at the fabric with satisfaction, reaching out to pull the young brother over to try on the clothes.

Song Yi still couldn’t escape blushing and his heart racing when he heard the word “marriage”. He asked hesitantly, “Will your parents accept me?”

Yan Ye paused his movements, thought of Madam Yan’s strong opposition to this marriage, gently shook his head, then lowered his eyes to meet those uneasy eyes, his voice soft, “If they don’t accept you, then you won’t marry me?”

Song Yi avoided his gaze as if escaping, and his shoulders sank slightly. Yan Ye’s chin rested on them, his breath brushing against his neck. “Song Yi, I have never underestimated you, and I know you are not an ordinary brother. You don’t need to be so careful. It is I who am marrying you, not them. Since you can survive in the palace, you must have some tricks. If anyone in this house bullies you, you don’t need to be soft-hearted.”

Yan Ye’s words made Song Yi tremble with fear. He had always pretended to be soft in front of this person, but never thought that this person would see him like this.

And his words were also giving himself confidence.

Song Yi’s eyes welled up, and his palm covered the back of the man’s hand. “I know.”

Yan Ye let out a low laugh. “Then after you change your clothes, we’ll go see my father.”

“I can change myself, you go out first.” Song Yi pushed him out with red ears.
