Chapter 194 How could you have a concubine?
You Jianbin was able to come because his brother You Jianchuan practically dragged him here.
If we're talking about how much you hate the Ye family father and sons, You Jianbin is no less than Ge Shi.
Although his marquisate was stripped by Prince Cheng, Prince Cheng was Ye Gengxin's son-in-law. Ye Gengxin did not plead for him in front of Prince Cheng, which means that Ye Gengxin was an accomplice in stripping him of his marquisate, and may even be the mastermind behind it!
Who could understand the hatred in his heart? Not only was his wife dead and his children scattered, but You Jianbin also stole his marquisate, and he still had to rely on You Jianchuan to make a living. This was not just a disgrace, it was an insult to his spirit, making him wish he were dead!
But his son hasn't come back yet, so he has to endure it until the day his son returns before he can take revenge on this group of people!
He didn't suspect Ye Shijun's attentiveness. After all, he was already a barefoot man. What else could they possibly want besides his life?
This is a perfect opportunity for him to drown his sorrows in this wine...
So he drank cup after cup, and soon the pot of wine was empty.
"Uncle, I know you like to drink, but you don't have to drink so fast! This wine is quite old, and it's quite potent!" Ye Shijun kindly advised him.
"Leave me alone! If you're going to treat me to drinks, then bring me plenty so I can drink to my heart's content!" You Jianbin waved his hand in dissatisfaction.
His face was flushed, and his waving movements were uncoordinated. Anyone with eyes could see that Ye Shijun wasn't lying; the aftereffects of this wine were extraordinary.
You Jianchuan frowned and advised, "Brother, take a rest first. The banquet will start soon, then you can drink to your heart's content."
You Jianbin shook his head, feeling that his head was getting heavy.
"Uncle, let me help you to the side room to rest for a while. I'll call you when the banquet starts," Ye Shijun said with a smile as he went to help him.
You Jianbin didn't refuse, because he found that not only did his head feel heavy, but even his vision was starting to blur. He was also a little annoyed that he had drunk too quickly, but since he had already drunk the wine, he could only find a place to rest first.
Ye Shijun helped him walk out while smiling and reminding him, "Uncle, lift your feet! Keep your balance, don't sway too much, I can hardly hold you anymore!"
……
in the garden.
As Ye Shiting watched Ge Shi and her maid walk away, the cold smile on his lips hadn't even faded when he heard a gentle voice behind him.
"Big cousin."
His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes.
He turned around and greeted her gently, "Cousin Yunying."
Fan Yunying stared straight at him, making no attempt to hide her affection for him. "Big cousin, it's been so long since I've seen you. How have you been?"
"Hmm," Ye Shiting responded faintly.
But Fan Yunying seemed oblivious to his coldness and perfunctory attitude. Her eyes reddened, and she choked out, "Big cousin, Ying'er was immature before and made many mistakes, disappointing you. These past few days, Ying'er has constantly reflected, realized, and repented, and has grown a lot. I will never be willful again. Big cousin, you can't give Ying'er a..."
"Master!"
Before Fan Yunying could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a shout. She saw Ye Shiting turn around and followed his gaze.
A woman was seen hopping towards them.
The woman was young, with a beautiful face, large, bright black eyes, and a head of black hair that swayed as she jumped around. She seemed to be full of energy and vitality.
She was carrying an axe on her shoulder, which looked completely out of place with her appearance and somewhat comical.
"Young Master, I've chopped all the firewood for tomorrow. Aren't I amazing?" Li Yao proudly waved the axe in her hand.
"Hmm, very impressive." Ye Shiting covered his lips with a fist, hiding his smile. "No one in the manor is as good as you."
"That's right! You don't even know what I ate to grow up!" Li Yao proudly raised her chin.
"When the banquet starts in a bit, I'll have someone bring you a few more chicken legs," Ye Shiting said with a smile.
At first, he just thought the girl ate too much, and in addition to her regular meals, he had to prepare special meals for her every day. Originally, his family didn't think there was anything wrong with it; they figured it was fine if she ate a lot, and the Ye family didn't care about the amount of food.
Little did they know that this girl was someone who couldn't sit still. She ate a lot, but she also did a lot of chores in the manor. She did everything from fetching water and washing clothes to chopping wood. If you didn't let her do anything, she wouldn't eat her meals properly.
In his father's words, this was not supporting a benefactor, but rather hiring a free servant.
"Big cousin, who is she?" Watching him speak gently to others and even laugh without regard for his image, Fan Yunying couldn't help but feel a surge of jealousy.
Big cousin?
Upon hearing the question, Li Yao stared at Fan Yunying, looking her up and down. "Young Master, is this your cousin?"
"Ah."
"My name is Li Yao, nice to meet you." Li Yao introduced herself with a smile.
“Big cousin…” Fan Yunying looked at Ye Shiting with tears welling up in her eyes and asked in a choked voice, “I never thought you would have a concubine.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Shiting's handsome face immediately darkened.
But before he could speak, Li Yao asked, puzzled, "What concubine?"
Seeing her cousin's blank expression, Fan Yunying's jealousy intensified, and she burst into tears, "Cousin, how could you allow this to happen? Compared to her, what do I lack? Why would you rather have a concubine than me?"
Li Yao turned to look at Ye Shiting, whose face was dark with anger, and then stared at Fan Yunying for a moment before suddenly realizing something. "Miss, don't talk nonsense! The eldest young master is a gentleman. How could he climb into my bed? We live in the same mansion, but our rooms are not connected!"
Fan Yunying, "..."
Ye Shiting's face was originally dark, but after hearing her explanation, he almost burst out laughing.
His barely suppressed laughter was interpreted by Fan Yunying as a sign that he cared about other women, which only fueled her jealousy. Crying, she tugged at Ye Shiting's sleeve, "Big cousin, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me this once, and let's start over, okay?"
Ye Shiting's expression, which had just begun to improve, instantly turned cold again. He ruthlessly shook off her hand and then suddenly grabbed Li Yao's wrist, pulling her closer.
"As Cousin Yunying saw, so please have some self-respect!" He paused, then added coldly, "And let me remind you, she is not my concubine. If you insult her at will, I will not let you off easily!"
