Chapter 4, The Old Lady's Scolding

The old woman was startled at first glance and quickly tidied up her things before leaving

Ye Sheng laughed in anger upon hearing this. Does the old lady really dislike his mother so much?

But reason told him that he absolutely must not take action

"If you call my mother a wretched woman, I will kill you immediately" Ye Sheng's voice squeezed out from his throat, his gaze fixed on the old woman like a wolf.

"Young Master, you are quite imposing. I will truthfully inform the old lady. Just you wait," the old woman said in a fluster, frightened by Ye Sheng, and hurriedly left.

I will not take the initiative to provoke Ye Qing, but if he comes to trouble me again, he cannot blame me for being impolite. Ye Sheng coldly laughed inwardly, feeling a chill.

The old lady said, "Stability within the household is paramount. The Thirteenth Young Master possesses exceptional talent and a bright future ahead, while you are merely the offspring of a concubine. Although both of you are sons of the prince, the fundamental nature is entirely different. I hope you can recognize your own position. You are already sixteen years old, and from now on, you are not allowed to provoke the Thirteenth Young Master again. Otherwise, the old lady will disown you, this unworthy grandson, to avoid any scandalous incidents that would bring shame upon us." The old woman's words were very stern, reminiscent of that harsh old lady.

Ye Sheng's expression was calm as he said, "How does the Thirteenth Young Master act? Do you dare to comment on it?"

"Young Master Twelve, I heard some news last night," the old maid suddenly said in a low voice

The term "filial piety" is of great importance in the Qin Dynasty, and Prince Ye holds a high reputation both in the court and among the people. Countless individuals are watching him, and if it were to be rumored that he is unfilial, he would face severe criticism from numerous scholars, which is quite a headache for Prince Ye

An old woman, robust in stature, with a blank expression, stared at Ye Sheng

The old woman was startled by Ye Sheng's gaze, involuntarily taking a few steps back, and then angrily said: "The old lady knows this is quite unfair to you, so I permit you to leave the residence to pay respects to your lowly mother. If you take full responsibility for this matter, on the fifteenth of this month, you may leave the residence to visit your lowly mother's grave"

"Get lost!" Ye Sheng scolded.

The old lady returned from her night of worship yesterday and, upon hearing about this matter, flew into a rage and became extremely angry. The old maid whispered.

Bang

He is also the grandson of the old lady, not an adopted child

Ye Sheng, after all, is a descendant of the Ye Wangfu. Even if he is not favored, he is inherently superior. Even the thirteenth young master was anxious after injuring Ye Sheng, let alone these servants

Ye Sheng simply ate a little, not allowing himself to go hungry. Stopping his meal, he asked, "Did everyone in the mansion know about what happened yesterday?"

Ye Sheng stood up and said, "What words?"

In the entire Ye residence, when the old matriarch speaks, even the Prince Ye does not dare to defy her

The old woman looked at Ye Sheng in shock, her face a mixture of anger, shame, and indignation, changing rapidly. However, in the end, she endured under Ye Sheng's bloodthirsty expression and said: "These words are the original words of the old lady. If you are dissatisfied, go find the old lady. Taking your anger out on an old woman like me is no great feat."

What happened yesterday was clearly Ye Qing's fault, but in the old lady's eyes, everything is Ye Sheng's problem

My Dantian world is my only reliance. Give me time, and I will surely make everyone in the Ye family kneel before my mother's memorial. Ye Sheng's eyes were indifferent; true anger reaches a point of calmness, a tranquility before the storm.

Damn it, everyone in this house is a bunch of bastards. My mother is the Holy Maiden of the Reincarnation Sect, yet she has been reduced to a lowly servant in their mouths. Their audacity is unimaginable, and one can only imagine the humiliation my mother must have endured in the past.

In recent years, as the Hu Mei family has gradually expanded, she has also been actively winning over people's hearts within the household. Apart from those originally belonging to the first lady, all newcomers are aligned with Madam Hu Mei.

The old woman said, "You are born of a lowly servant, your life is as fragile as paper. Young Master Thirteen is quite measured; he will only give you a beating, nothing more. Besides, there are good doctors in the residence who can treat you. From now on, you are not allowed to provoke Young Master Thirteen, otherwise he will strip you of your right to leave the residence after you come of age, and you will spend your life in the royal mansion, living as a useless person." The old woman said disdainfully.

"Young Master Twelve, the old lady has commanded me to come and convey some words to you" the old woman said coldly

This old lady is his grandmother, the mother of Prince Ye. Approaching her eighties, she remains in good health, thanks to the high-quality elixirs that nourish her, and she is free from ailments or discomfort.

Once Ye makes a move, regardless of whether he truly kills the opponent or not, if he angers the old lady, it is indeed possible that he will be incapacitated and confined within the estate, never to gain freedom for the rest of his life

"Speak," Ye Sheng looked up at her and said

"The old lady has returned?" Ye Sheng frowned

Only Ye Sheng remained in the courtyard, watching the old woman with a frown.

This old lady truly detests him to the utmost degree

The old lady is fond of worshipping Buddha in her daily life. She has a dedicated Buddhist hall at home, where several statues of Bodhisattvas are enshrined to bless the entire family. She also frequently visits Hanshan Temple outside the city, which houses several Buddhist halls, where it is said that a true Buddha resides.

"Ye Qing almost killed me yesterday," Ye Sheng said, suppressing his anger

In the entire courtyard, only Ye Sheng remained.

Thirteen Shao is the son of Hu Mei, how dare the servants discuss this

The old woman was taken aback and nodded, saying: "It has spread throughout the residence, and everyone says that the Thirteenth Young Master has gone too far."

This person he knows, in Ye Sheng's original memory, is a maid beside the old lady, who is very unfriendly towards him

Just as Ye Sheng was about to ask further questions, a figure walked in from outside the courtyard

"You are merely relying on the protection of the old lady; one day, I will flay you alive." Ye Sheng's gaze was icy and piercing as he spoke coldly

The old lady visited Hanshan Temple to pay her respects a few days ago and stayed for several days, but unexpectedly returned last night

"It is rare for the young master to have such awareness. If the old lady knows about it, she will surely be pleased. A few days later, the prince will return and inquire about this matter. The old lady hopes that you can take on the main responsibility." The old woman made an excessive request

On the second day, after Ye Sheng got out of bed and finished washing up, a maid brought in breakfast. It was not very lavish, but it was clean, likely because the events of yesterday had frightened many people

"Go back and tell the old lady that Ye Sheng knows and will not take the initiative to provoke Ye Qing," Ye Sheng gritted his teeth and said, his fists clenched, true energy circulating within him, truly wanting to strike down the old man before him.

Ye Sheng pressed his lips together, remaining silent, his expression terrifyingly cold

"Just wait, I will make you all regret it." Ye Sheng's gaze was deep and cold, with a flicker of icy light within. At this moment, he felt no goodwill towards anyone in the Ye residence.

Ye Sheng's gaze sharpened, his anger evident in his expression as he stared at the old woman, seemingly wanting to devour her; this was truly an affront to his dignity

He has crossed over, inheriting everything from Ye Sheng, including his love for his mother, and at this moment, he truly harbors a murderous intent

The old woman opened her mouth, yet did not know what to say

This Ye Wangfu, in Ye Sheng's view, is nothing but a vast prison, and he must leave this place

As the old woman's words fell to the ground, Ye Sheng could no longer contain his anger and slapped out, directly causing the old woman to stagger.
