Chapter 1061 (A Bit of Trouble)
Chapter 1061 (A Bit of Trouble)
Ye Juetian couldn't help but feel helpless in his heart.
"Daji, why don't you have a seat as well?" Ye Hua said casually.
Daji, standing beside Le Jing, was actually a bit depressed. Her master got a new wife, but she still didn't have her own place. It was difficult, heartbreaking, and she felt like crying.
"No need, I'm fine standing," Daji said with a bit of a sulky tone.
However, when Ye Hua gave her a stern look, she immediately sat down.
Le Jing shook her head. Ye Hua really should be gentler with the girls; he's always glaring at them for no reason.
"All right, the family is finally reunited. Let's eat," Le Jing said, exceptionally happy today. It had been a while since she felt this way.
Ye Juetian wasted no time and started eating, "Sister-in-law, the food is delicious, truly scrumptious."
"Then, Juetian, eat more," Qian Yuqing whispered, secretly hoping to hear a similar compliment from Ye Hua.However, at this moment, Donghuang Baizhi lightly cleared her throat, seemingly reminding Ye Hua to speak.
Qing Ya followed suit.
"Did both sisters-in-law catch a cold?" Ye Juetian asked, oblivious to the situation.
"..."
Ye Hua felt he should commend Qian Yuqing. The acting should not make her too sad.
"The dishes are quite good," Ye Hua said calmly.
Hearing her son's words, Le Jing's face lit up with a smile. This was a sign of progress. Qian Yuqing would be happy in the future.
Qian Yuqing, of course, heard it too. She felt incredibly happy, and all her previous unhappiness vanished in an instant.
In fact, women are quite simple. They just want to hear sweet words from the man they love.
Love needs expression. If you don't express it, how would anyone know?
"Ye Hua, eat more. If it's not enough, I'll make more for you," Qian Yuqing, who was initially afraid to serve Ye Hua food, now eagerly piled his plate with the best dishes.
"Enough, that's sufficient," Ye Hua said in a low voice.
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Qian Yuqing's enthusiasm. Once again, Ye Hua found fault with her.
Qian Yuqing now felt like she was in a delicate relationship, experiencing a sense of insecurity. If Ye Hua showed even a slight hint of dissatisfaction, she would be very sad.
In such situations, Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi were experienced. They had been married for a long time and had their fair share of arguments and silent treatments.
"Mother, we'll go to the Sapphire Continent together tomorrow," Ye Hua calmly said.
Le Jing naturally knew that her son would leave after finishing his business. "Hmm, but take Yuqing with you, or else I won't go."
"Of course," Ye Hua said indifferently. After all the trouble he went through, wasn't it to bring Qian Yuqing back?
Qian Yuqing, who was gloomy just moments ago, instantly became happy again. She felt like she was going crazy; Ye Hua's casual words could make her extremely happy or profoundly sad.
"Ye Hua, you should also worry about your younger brother's matters. He's not young anymore; it's time for him to settle down," Le Jing advised.
Ye Juetian rolled his eyes and said, "Mother, I'm still young."
"Young! You're over a thousand years old. Men over a thousand years old already have children!" Le Jing's words amused the several wives. Mother indeed had a sense of humour.
"Mother, I'll take care of his matters," Ye Hua said seriously. After all, he couldn't let his younger brother be reckless in finding a woman. At least, she should excel in various aspects. The Ye family is not that easy to enter!
Le Jing breathed a sigh of relief. Ye Hua was sensible. She hoped Juetian would also be sensible after marriage.
"Ye Hua, where are my grandchildren? When will you bring Mother to see them?" Le Jing had seen her daughter-in-law now but wanted to see her grandchildren. Those photos looked so cute.
Ye Hua suddenly felt uneasy.
"Mother, Ye Hua took all your grandchildren away," Qing Ya instantly played the victim. It must be said that everyone in this room was a drama queen.
Donghuang Baizhi said the same, "Yes, Mother. Ye Hua sent the children away, saying they can't come back until they're adults. We might not see them for over a decade. They're so young."
"Ye Hua, what's going on?" Le Jing was hearing such claims for the first time and asked her son in confusion.
Qian Yuqing was also curious. How could Ye Hua drive away the children? That seemed too heartless.
Ye Juetian was also puzzled. After all, he was now an uncle.
"Mother, don't listen to their nonsense. The children went out to study," Ye Hua explained.
But Qing Ya was still troubled by the issue.
"Then, at least let them come back to visit us," Qing Ya insisted.
Ye Hua's expression stiffened, and his tone became more authoritative, "You all agreed back then. Don't bring it up again."
Le Jing felt a bit dizzy. Why did Ye Hua have such a bad temper? He scolded his wife without hesitation.
"Ye Hua, it's normal for a mother to miss her children. Don't speak so harshly," Le Jing said gently, trying to comfort Qing Ya.
Qian Yuqing also wanted to say something in support of Qing Ya but didn't dare, fearing Ye Hua would scold her as well. She could only serve food to Ye Hua.
Ye Hua sighed and didn't say much. These two women had to provoke him in front of his mother, thinking he would compromise.
In the matter of disciplining children, don't even think about making him compromise. The story of a doting mother spoiling her son is not unheard of; just look at Ye Juetian.
If Ye Juetian knew what his elder brother was thinking, he would surely be dumbfounded. 'What does it have to do with me?' he would think, baffled. This is not saying anything and still getting blamed.
Qing Ya and Donghuang Baizhi also felt wronged. What's wrong with a mother checking her children? Did they commit a crime? Why scold them? You've been allowed to find a new wife, given such great benefits, shouldn't you give us some benefits too? Hmph! This is just because Mother is present; otherwise, we would have argued with you.
This peculiar atmosphere lingered throughout the entire meal.
After finishing his meal, Ye Hua stood up and calmly said, "Mother, I'm going back to my room. You should rest early."
"Alright."
Without paying attention to others, Ye Hua left first.
As a daughter-in-law, it was natural to tidy up the table.
Ye Juetian sneaked away, excited and eager because he would be going on a long journey tomorrow.
"Mother, I'll head back now," Qian Yuqing said obediently.
"Okay, be careful on the way."
"Sure, Qing Ya, Baizhi, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
As Qian Yuqing left, Le Jing began to comfort her two daughters-in-law, scolding Ye Hua in various ways to help them vent their anger.
Surprisingly, it seemed effective.
At this moment, Ye Hua did not rest. Instead, he sat in the pavilion in the courtyard, smoking.
The illness of his mother was neither severe nor mild. He had also checked the Spirit Spring, and while it could delay the progression, completely eliminating it was impossible.
