Chapter 167 The Imperial Advisor of a Female-Dominated Society (Part 13)
Qingyu turned around and saw a handsome young man in snow-white clothes standing not far away, his eyes full of doubt.
When Xu Zishan arrived, he did not know that Feng Yu had already left. At this moment, Qing Yu was dressed up, and he could not recognize who she was, so he could only ask.
Qingyu looked her up and down, a sly smile playing on her lips. "You're from the Seventh Princess's residence?"
Her voice was clear and melodious, like pearls falling on a jade plate. Xu Zishan was momentarily dazed, then blushed and nodded slightly. "I am Xu Zishan."
Xu Zishan? So he's Feng Yu's caring father, the nanny-like old man!
Qingyu understood and withdrew her gaze. Coincidentally, the Ye family gate opened, and Ye Huai saw the person in front of him. Even though he couldn't see the face clearly, his figure and demeanor were striking...
His heart trembled, and he subconsciously asked, "Miss Hu?"
Qingyu smiled and nodded, then took off her bamboo hat, revealing her long, jet-black hair cascading down like a waterfall.
Her features were exquisite, and although half of her face was covered, her snow-white skin was still undeniable. The charming allure in her eyes and brows left Xu Zishan speechless.
He never knew that such a beautiful woman could exist in the world.
I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, before I could even see the whole picture.
Ye Huai was so excited that his body trembled slightly. He hadn't expected it to really be Qingyu.
Qingyu held the bamboo hat in her hand and played with it, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a hint of playfulness. "I came here today to see if there are any interesting things happening in the Ye family, and... I recently learned some things that I wanted to tell Young Master Ye."
Ye Huai hurriedly replied, "As long as the young lady is willing, the Ye family will certainly have countless interesting things to do!"
If Qingyu likes it, he could even perform a show!
Music, chess, calligraphy, painting... as long as the person in front of you likes it!
Xu Zishan also came to his senses at this moment. Seeing the two people in front of him about to enter, he bit his lip and took a step forward somewhat rashly for the first time. "Um... I'm here to find someone. I don't know if you've seen the Seventh Princess?"
Although he was asking questions, his gaze remained fixed on Qingyu's face, and he couldn't look away for a long time.
Upon hearing this, Ye Huai's face showed disgust, but appearance mattered, so he still held his breath and replied, "I've seen her, but she's already gone. You can still catch up with her if you go now."
Xu Zishan's eyelashes trembled as he looked up helplessly. "Did she...did she bully you? I apologize on her behalf."
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Ye Huai's face flushed with anger. "How could the Seventh Princess bully me? As for you, don't try to make unfounded connections."
Xu Zishan flinched slightly after being yelled at, his eyes filled with grievance.
Qingyu found their antics amusing and, on a sudden impulse, became interested.
She coughed lightly. "Young Master Xu? Don't worry, the Seventh Princess isn't someone who can be bullied. But you... don't you need to rest?"
"need!"
"There are no seats available at my place!"
The two spoke in unison, then Ye Huai glared angrily, "My house is too small, there's no room for you, young master!"
He's not stupid; Xu Zishan was clearly slandering him just now!
Xu Zishan lowered his eyes, subconsciously revealing a hint of vulnerability.
In reality, his gaze was always fixed on Qingyu, who was standing to the side.
The latter did not disappoint him, and looked at Ye Huai with a smile, "Young Master Ye, speaking of which, Young Master Xu is also a man with a hard life. It's getting late outside, and I will take him back in a while. Please let him stay for a while."
Ye Huai's face instantly turned ugly. He wanted to refuse, but when he saw Qingyu's clear eyes, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
I didn't want to disappoint her.
Upon seeing this, Xu Zishan immediately smiled and thanked him, then followed him into the Ye family home.
As Ye Huai led the way, he secretly observed Qingyu's expression, afraid that she might be dissatisfied with the place.
Qingyu looked around curiously, occasionally asking some quirky questions.
It was really just... making conversation out of nothing.
But Ye Huai and Xu Zishan were by her side, patiently answering her questions, their eyes always unconsciously glancing at Qingyu, their admiration growing stronger.
Qingyu seemed to sense something, a faint smile playing on her lips, like an elegant and clever fox, enjoying the two men's attentiveness, yet her true thoughts remained unfathomable.
Xu Zishan was left behind when they arrived at Ye Huai's room.
“Young Master Ye.” Qingyu’s red lips parted slightly. She stared intently at Ye Huai, who couldn’t help but feel his heart flutter. He lowered his eyes expectantly and shyly. “Miss Hu, please speak.”
"I wonder if Young Master Ye has any thoughts about his own identity?"
Ye Huai was taken aback, somewhat confused. "What do you mean by that, young lady? I am a member of the Ye family, and that is my identity."
At the same time, I felt a vague sense of resentment.
Qingyu gently shook her head, her gentle eyes as bright as the moonlight. She twirled a strand of hair with her slender, white fingers and said slowly, "I know a little about metaphysics and destiny. From the first moment I saw Young Master Ye, I knew you were no ordinary person."
Ye Huai's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. "Miss, you must be joking."
Qingyu suppressed her smile and said seriously, "I was not joking. After I went back, I did some calculations and found that Young Master Ye was a prince of the neighboring country. Back then... your mother must have had her reasons."
These words were like a heavy blow to Ye Huai, stirring up a storm in his heart. Recalling the past, his memories of his father, which had been hazy, were now slowly becoming clearer, and there were indeed some unusual things about them.
Qingyu thought of Ye Huai's first recognition of his family in the plot, smiled slightly, and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, your identity will be revealed by the end of this year... If you don't believe me, you can ask your aunt."
Ye Huai was breathing heavily, his fists clenched, his eyes filled with an unreadable emotion, but it was clear that he was confused.
From childhood to adulthood, his mother only told him that his father had died young, and knew nothing else about him.
He initially thought his mother didn't want to talk about painful things, and he didn't bother to ask further. Now, looking back, he realizes he's never met any of his father's relatives...
Ye Huai's eyes were somewhat dazed. After a long silence, he expressed his gratitude with mixed feelings, "Thank you for informing me, young lady. No matter what lies ahead, I will not allow myself to be exploited."
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Qingyu's eyes. She wanted to see how Fengyu could plot for a high position now that he had nothing left.
"I believe that Young Master Ye has the ability. If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you may come to me."
After saying that, Qingyu neatly put on her bamboo hat and prepared to leave.
She opened the door, and Xu Zishan came to greet her. Seeing that the two of them were behaving properly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled and said, "Could it be that you have a secret that you don't want me to hear?"
Qingyu smiled gently, her laughter like the tinkling of silver bells. "Of course I do, Young Master Xu. I'll take you back."
After saying that, she strode towards the door. Xu Zishan glanced at Ye Huai and quickly followed.
Behind him, Ye Huai watched her retreating figure, and the jealousy and unease in his heart resurfaced once again.
He really...
Is her status really that good?
Does that mean he can become strong enough to protect everything he cherishes, including the mysterious woman in front of him?
Ye Huai's cheeks flushed, his gaze gradually hardening, and he turned to knock on his mother's door.
He felt that there were some things he needed to talk to his mother about!
------------
When Feng Yu returned to the manor, the first person she saw was not Xu Zishan, but Lu Yan with a cold face.
She wasn't interested in these men anymore, so she rolled her eyes and prepared to walk away, but the next second she heard a sharp gust of wind behind her—
Feng Yu instinctively dodged, and when she turned around, she saw a fist the size of a sandbag—
The veins on her forehead were bulging, and she gritted her teeth, "Lu Yan! What do you want to do?! Are you out of your mind?"
Lu Yan stared at her intently, realizing for the first time that Feng Yu was just a mortal, so fragile that he could kill her with one hand...
But why is he finding it hard to do it?
Clenching his fists, Lu Yan's brows darkened further, and he turned and left without a word.
Feng Yu: "??" Is someone out of their mind?
