When Ye Shaohua and her mother left the Ye Family together for the second time.
Meng Yanqiu slowly returned to reality, realizing he had indeed been reborn.
Only this time, he would not let Ye Shaohua confuse him but would instead protect Ye Qingqing and prevent the tragedy of his previous life from occurring again.
With this thought, the malice in his heart settled, and he showed a smile to the mother and daughter.
However, he seemed fearful of Ye Shaohua and her mother clinging to him, so he and his servant quickly distanced themselves from the two as if avoiding a virus.
"Young Master, what’s wrong with you today? Why are you avoiding Young Lady Ye so quickly?" the servant asked, puzzled. "But why did Young Lady Ye take her luggage and leave?"
Seeing Ye Shaohua, Meng Yanqiu couldn’t help but think of his past life. He detested her so much that he wanted to strangle her and had no desire to spend another minute with her. Hearing the question, he shook his head, "We are here to see Uncle Ye today. Let’s not interfere with their family matters. Maybe she will come looking for us later."
As he spoke, there was a hint of mockery on his face.
The servant was confused by the Young Master’s odd behavior today.
Just following Meng Yanqiu into the hall.
It was only when he saw the girls dressed in pale pink with colorful flowers and butterflies seated next to Ye De in the hall that Meng Yanqiu’s gloominess began to dissipate.
Meng Yanqiu instructed his servant to deliver an embroidery to Ye Qingqing.
"I ran into the manager of the Jiangling Embroidery Workshop on the way, and the workshop had an urgent matter. He asked me to bring this embroidery to Lady Qing... the Second Young Lady," Meng Yanqiu bowed slightly to Ye De.
Ye De failed to catch the unusual tone in Meng Yanqiu’s voice.
"Brother Meng, you’re here." Ye Qingqing excitedly took the embroidery, touched it, then suddenly remembered something, "By the way, did you see my sister on your way here? Did she..."
Ye Qingqing hesitated, finding it difficult to express herself.
But Meng Yanqiu knew what Ye Qingqing wanted to say.
In his previous life, when he visited the Ye Family, he saw Ye Shaohua being kicked out by Ye De in the dead of winter. She fainted as soon as she stepped out of the house. He felt Ye De was too heartless, so he spoke up for them.
He allowed Ye Shaohua and her mother to stay at the Ye Residence again.
Thinking of this, Meng Yanqiu’s eyes darkened with malice.
He always remembered how the Ye Qingqing who married someone else smiled bitterly at him, "I’m not as scheming as my sister. When kicked out of the Ye Family, I didn’t know how to win your pity. If there’s a next life, Yanqiu..."
Ye Shaohua had already planned it all along.
Unfortunately, he was no longer the same Meng Yanqiu from his past life. This time, no matter what tricks this mother and daughter played, they could not expect him to say a single word on their behalf!
As he was thinking, the butler suddenly entered, "It’s not good, Master, the Young Lady has fainted outside the door!"
Despite his disdain, she was still his daughter, and she had fainted outside the Ye Residence. If others knew, it would surely cause gossip.
Ye De, exuding a chill, followed the butler outside.
Naturally, Ye Qingqing followed too.
"Brother Meng, why is my sister’s health so poor?" she sighed to Meng Yanqiu with worry in her voice, "She usually doesn’t faint so easily. My mother had lingering health issues after giving birth to me but was never as frail as her. I really don’t know what illness she has."
Meng Yanqiu knew all about Ye Shaohua’s little tricks. It was nothing more than her trying to get him to speak up by feigning fainting.
Where was there any illness? She was healthier than anyone!
Although she was still pale, her movements were without a hint of pain.
But her dangling left hand clearly dripped fresh blood drop by drop.
It must have been in her confusion that she used the hairpin to regain her senses, yet she was harsh on herself without changing her expression.
Even Meng Yanqiu, a grown man, could not manage that.
This scene was unexpected for Meng Yanqiu, who glanced at Ye Shaohua and her mother.
Feeling that the pair must have another trick up their sleeve, yet the mother and daughter did not glance at him, supporting each other as they calmly left his field of vision, entirely composed.
Meng Yanqiu furrowed his brows, clearly puzzled by this turn of events.
"My sister really left." Ye Qingqing looked down, seemingly very upset.
Meng Yanqiu did not pay much attention to Ye Shaohua; he simply looked at Ye Qingqing beside him and lowered the malice in his heart, "Her leaving is for the best."
Being reborn, he naturally knew the main secrets of the Ye Family’s embroidery methods that were discovered in his previous life. With just a little guidance for Ye Qingqing, someone as intelligent as her would understand quickly, and he wouldn’t allow Ye Shaohua to take advantage of that for a single moment.
In his past life, Ye Qingqing was highly talented in embroidery, gaining some fame in Jiangling by the age of fifteen, and she also had a knack for business. She even gave him vague tips on changes in the Royal Court a few times, helping him avoid several dangers with his merchandise.
Such an outstanding woman had the right to stand above everyone else.
Yet in his past life, he failed to recognize people’s true natures... ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
He also knew what business would be more profitable in this life. He would become the wealthiest merchant in Jiangling and would protect her well.
As for Ye Shaohua, Meng Yanqiu lowered his gaze, hiding the malice in his eyes, hoping she wouldn’t cross his path again...
