Chapter 103 Suspicious Rebirth
"Then what about my uncle's family, isn't there any news in these years?" Ye Yu asked puzzled.

After the father's narration just now, he found that the father seldom mentioned the uncle, and the uncle's family did not mention a word.

"Hey, although your uncle is a scholar, he is obsessed with martial arts and has never been married in his life. Where is his family?"

Speaking of this, Ye Rong suddenly remembered something, and then said with some uncertainty: "However, your uncle seems to have an apprentice. 20 years ago, my father met him once at the mansion, and the other party was still a six or seven The little girl who was [-] years old. Since then, Dad has never seen her again. As for whether she is dead or alive now, I don’t even know.”

"Uh, Dad, are you sure that little girl is not my uncle's illegitimate daughter? Oops..." Ye Chu showed a strange expression.

But just as he finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the back of the head by his father.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can you arrange bad things about your elders like this?" Ye Rong was a little dumbfounded.

Fortunately, he is not the kind of pedantic and respectful person, otherwise it would be light to punish him to kneel in the ancestral hall for a few days.

"Hey, I'm just talking casually." Ye Yu touched the back of his numb head and said a little embarrassingly.

"Let's go. Today I mainly want to tell your grandfather about this. You just have to remember that the officialdom is more cruel than the shopping malls. It's a piece of meat when you go in, but you don't even have bones left when you come out. Even with your uncle's powerful martial arts, It’s not that it’s gone. Dad just hopes that you don’t go this way in the future.” Ye Rong looked at his son and shook his head, and said a little sadly.Then he walked to the wall, ready to turn on the switch of the secret room.

Looking at his father's back, Ye Chu's expression was a little complicated.

No wonder his father never told him about these things, it was because his father saw what he was like before.Instead of telling him that it will only increase your troubles, it is better to just hide it like this and let his son live his life easily.

Dad, Dad, it seems that you are always as wise as a fool, and many things are like a mirror in your heart.

"Father, wait a minute, there is one more thing, my son, I want to ask clearly." Seeing that his father was about to press the switch, Ye Chu asked hastily.

"What's the matter?" Hearing his son's words, Ye Rong's outstretched hand didn't stop.

"Do I still have a sister?"

Hearing this, Ye Rong's hand suddenly froze.

He turned around abruptly, with a trace of coldness on his face.

"Was it Xiaochan or Xiaojuan who told you? Huh, I know that these two stinky girls have weak mouths."

"Uh, it's not Xiao Chan and the others, it was the princess who mentioned it unintentionally." Ye Chu said hastily.

"Did the Princess really say that?" Ye Rong looked at his son suspiciously and said.

"Of course it's true." Ye Chu was a little helpless.Then he roughly said what happened at the beginning.

"Oh, I mean that the person who lives in our house is the master of the princess. Dad thought it was... You didn't say it earlier. When you have time tomorrow, dad will go to visit. Don't be rude. .” Speaking of this, Ye Rong stopped, as if it was a pity.

"Dad, I advise you not to go. The master of the princess has a bit of a weird personality." Ye You hurriedly tried to dissuade her.

Just kidding, if I want to see someone, I still need to get their consent, so I almost treat this as my own home.

"Hey, it's not that Dad doesn't want to talk about it, it's just that it's a bit taboo to say it." Ye Rong sighed, and then asked suddenly, "Do you still remember when your mother passed away?"

Hearing his father suddenly mention his mother, Ye Xiu felt a little strange.However, he still replied in a deep voice.

"My son dare not forget. My mother died of illness five years ago."

"Your mother didn't die of illness, but she left because of a curse." Ye Rong said in shock.

"Curse?" Ye Yu frowned, "What's going on?"

"It is because of this evil that your mother was cursed. Otherwise, why did your mother become ill as soon as she was born." Speaking of this, Ye Rong was obviously agitated.

"Five years ago, when your aunt was pregnant, father was very happy at first. But not long after, your mother suddenly contracted a cold and became bedridden. During this period, father didn't know how many doctors he had invited to cure him."

"In the end, even Father went to kneel in front of the Qin Mansion for three days and three nights, and finally moved Mr. Qin and agreed to let the imperial doctor in the mansion see your mother."

"But after all, there is no way to recover, your mother is still dead."

"Later, when Dad invited the mage from Jingci Temple to recite the Dharma, the mage explained the mystery. The reason was that the child in your aunt's stomach was too karmic, which not only took away your mother's life, but also the family's luck. .” Speaking of this, Ye Rong’s face was full of ferocity.

"Because of this, as soon as that evil obstacle was born, father directly agreed to let the mage of Jingci Temple take him away. And most of the people in the house, father also changed it. The only few who knew, father also issued a strict order."

"Then why doesn't my child know about this?" After Ye Chu was astonished, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

What did this body do before? He didn't know about such a big matter in the mansion, which even a few maids knew about.

"At that time, when your mother was sick, you were not at the house. In addition, father was afraid that that evil obstacle would also affect you. So he never let you come back."

It's Jingci Temple again, no wonder Xiaochan said before that she would go there every once in a while.I see.

At this point, Ye Chu finally straightened out some things.

However, it would be unfair to blame this kind of thing on an unborn child.It's just that the ancients were superstitious about this, and he didn't know how to resolve it, maybe time would do.

"Does the aunt's child have a name?" Ye Chu asked.

"Ye Tan, this is the name you have chosen a long time ago." Ye Rong opened the door of the secret room, "Let's go, it's almost time, it's time to go to the Qin Mansion."

Before leaving, Ye Tong glanced at the realistic sketch in the secret room again, and then left with his father.

Outside the ancestral hall, Butler Liu and Xiao Chan were still waiting there respectfully.

When he saw both the master and the young master coming out with sullen faces, they hurried forward.

"Master, you..." Liu Kui wanted to say something when he saw the appearance of the master, but in the end he sighed.

After following the master for so many years, he guessed many things at a glance.

And Xiaochan first bowed to Ye Rong to salute, and then came to the young master's side, silently following behind without saying a word.

Back in the study, Ye Yu found the handbook of tea-making techniques that had been written long ago, then raised his head to look at Xiao Chan who followed, and said, "Xiao Chan, tell the young master about Aunt Zhao."

For some reason, after hearing so many things today, he always felt that he had something to do with Aunt Zhao.

Mother's death from illness, as well as myself some time ago, logically speaking, they should be considered dead.

"Ah?" Xiaochan was stunned and looked at her young master with wide eyes.When did the young master start to care about the second lady?She remembered that the young master didn't go to the back hall very often in the past.Occasionally we meet in the front yard and say hello as a courtesy.

It's so strange today.

But since the young master asked, she thought about it and answered obediently: "The second lady entered the mansion ten years ago. I heard that the master rescued a singing girl who was fleeing on the road. At that time, the lady was kind-hearted and saw that she was smart, so she sent her She took over as a maid by her side. It's just that she didn't expect that she not only ungrateful, but also tried to please the master in every possible way like that vixen. Later, when the madam was gone, she took over."

Seeing Xiao Chan's cute face who became more and more angry as she talked, Ye Chu couldn't help but laugh.
