He would not forget the plot against him by Li'an Prefecture Patrol Angel Xu Yuanwang and Ziwei Sect's Chief Disciple Lin Zhuoyue, but his mind was now on the Taining Earl's birthday banquet tomorrow, so he had no time to deal with that person. He would settle the score another day. He was at home, sightseeing, and another day dawned.
"You want to take Xiang Wu to Ye Mansion?"
Wei Buqi was holding his cute little niece, and in front of him was his beautiful sister-in-law with a stern face.
"When she heard I was going out, she hung on me and refused to come down. In the end, it's still my sister-in-law's fault. You should take her out to play more often."
The pure and innocent Mr. Wei said so.
"I...you bastard, are you really trying to piss me off?"
Ning Shu was furious for a moment. She looked at Chao Ji and Wu Ji behind Wei Buqi, then glanced at Yang Shaocheng beside her, and became hesitant.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to go with us?"
He asked with a smile.
"I won't go." She said with a straight face, "You have to bring the fragrant mist back intact."
……
"Wei thief..."
A soft whisper sounded in a boudoir of the Lin family in Li'an Prefecture. The bronze mirror in the room reflected a pair of bright red eyes. The owner of this pair of beautiful eyes was sitting in front of the dressing table. She raised her bare hands with her brows tightly furrowed and rubbed her jade neck. There was an obvious red bruise where her fingertips touched, accompanied by a shallow bite mark.
Two days had passed since that night, but the marks left by Wei Buqi on her body had not completely disappeared, so that she had to stay at home these days. However, she had to go out now.
The biological father of her nominal son-in-law is celebrating his birthday today.
"Miss!" A pure and lively voice came from outside the dormitory, "Have you changed your clothes?"
"All right."
Lin Zhuoyue responded calmly. She put on a dark red long dress that covered her neck skin and walked out of the boudoir slowly.
"let's go."
She spoke to the pretty maid guarding outside the door. At this time, a young man in a green shirt came forward. It was Ye Teng, the son-in-law of the Lin family. He bowed his head and saluted to his wife who had not said a few words yet.
"I've met the eldest lady."
Lin Zhuoyue glanced at him and asked the girl beside her without saying anything.
"Where is Qingyan?"
"The second young lady is waiting for you in the carriage."
"Go get her some pastries as a snack on the way..."
Ye Teng looked at her and walked away, hesitant to speak, feeling unhappy.
He knew that Miss Lin would come to the Ye family to celebrate her birthday only to maintain the relationship between the Ye and Lin families. In fact, his marriage into the Lin family was also the result of an exchange of interests between the two families.
Everything is determined by fate, and nothing can be decided by man! Fortunately, the woman he married was not a fool as rumored, but a goddess-like figure who made him fall in love with her at first sight. He was encouraged and disappointed at the same time, because now he was not even qualified to stand beside her.
"Is there really any man who can get a girl like her? How far do I have to go before I can catch up with her..."
Chapter 11 Humiliation
Towards noon.
The sky is blue and blue.
Today, since the sun rose, the Taining Earl's Mansion has been filled with carriages and guests.
"Mr. Ren Yuanren, the governor of Li'an Prefecture, has arrived!"
"Deputy Envoy Li from the Northern Weaving Bureau has arrived!"
"Master Zhang has arrived!"
In the lobby of the Ye family, a father and son sat and played chess. These two were none other than the contemporary Taining Earl Ye Luan and his eldest son Ye Li. They listened calmly to the singing coming from outside the house, not taking it seriously.
"I got a reply that the patrol angel Xu Yuanwang will also come today. You will go out to greet him later."
Ye Luan said to his son solemnly.
"I know." Ye Li placed a piece on the chessboard. His face, which was similar to Ye Teng but more handsome, showed anticipation. "I wonder what arrangements Envoy Xu has for my entry into the sect?"
"We can't rush this matter."
Tainingbo shook his head. Before he could finish his words, a shout was heard again from outside.
"The eldest lady of the Lin family is here!"
The father and son looked at each other. Seeing that his father was unwilling to say more, Ye Li stood up on his own initiative, with a hint of amusement in his eyes.
"That Miss Lin Zhuoyue is here, I guess my third brother is back too, I'll go see him."
Ye Luan said lightly.
"Don't make it too ugly."
Ye Li lowered his head and said "yes", then turned and left. As he walked through the front yard, a lively scene appeared before his eyes.
"Young Master!"
"I've met the young master!"
"The eldest master is coming out!"
He responded to the greetings from the servants and guests with a smile, and walked out of the gate without stopping. A convoy carrying several boxes of birthday gifts stopped at the door.
"Ye Li..."
When Ye Teng saw his half brother coming towards him, he dismounted with a complicated expression and stepped forward to salute.
"Greetings, brother."
Ye Li put away his smile and spoke coldly.
"How many times have I told you? You should call me 'Young Master' in front of others. Don't you understand?"
Ye Teng's face turned pale and he unconsciously clenched his fists, but he could only bow his head like a servant of the Ye family.
"Big……"
A clear singing voice suddenly burst out.
"Envoy Xu from the Astronomical Survey has arrived!"
Ye Li's eyes narrowed, and he immediately lost his playful mood, and scolded in a low voice.
"What are you still standing here for! How can a son-in-law like you enter through the central gate of the Taining Marquis's mansion? Why don't you ask Miss Lin to come out? Get out of here and go to the back gate."
Ye Teng lowered his head and remained silent. His drooping hair hid his face in shadow, and no one saw his hideous look at this moment.
"How unreasonable..."
Someone was whispering in the luxurious carriage nearby. Lin Zhuoyue in the carriage frowned. She didn't care that Ye Li humiliated Ye Teng, but he was slapping the Lin family in the face!
She was just about to get up and get out of the car when her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed and she lifted a corner of the curtain to look behind.
It's him……
……
"Why would he come to the Ye family to celebrate Earl Taining's birthday?"
Wei Buqi also frowned when he heard the arrival of Xu Yuanwang, the angel of the Astronomical Survey, in the carriage.
"The Legend of the Goddess" is just a game after all, and the information it conveys to players is limited.
He knew that the protagonist Ye Teng would get the golden finger after Earl Taining's birthday party, but he didn't know who would be attending the party today, and there was no detailed description of this in the original plot.
"The Ye family is just a declining military family with no one serving as an official in the court. Now they rely on business to maintain their status. Xu Yuanwang is a patrol angel, so he doesn't need to give face to Tai Ningbo, unless they have a close personal relationship or a vested interest..."
Wei Buqi lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw that the driver was none other than Yang Shaocheng, the Defense Commander of Chongming Guard.
"Mr. Yang."
Yang Shaocheng looked at him as he stuck his head out of the car, as if he had guessed his concerns, and took the initiative to speak.
"The formation I set up in the Lin Mansion on the orders of the young master is indeed likely to be discovered by Xu Yuanwang. Although he is only a grandmaster who has broken through the fifth heavenly barrier, he was born in the Liangyi Dao, one of the four immortal sects, so he must be proficient in formations."
"...It doesn't matter."
Wei Buqi paused for a moment and then smiled gently.
"I can make him back off just by opening my mouth."
Yang Shaocheng was stunned and watched him get off the car with interest. A middle-aged man in black and white Taoist robes also got off from a simple carriage not far away.
At this moment, a young man in gorgeous clothes walked out from the crowd.
He is the eldest son of the Ye family.
"The humble student Ye Li pays homage to Envoy Xu!"
At this time, a group of nobles and wealthy people outside the Taining Earl's Mansion also came up and greeted Xu Yuanwang, who looked to be only thirty years old, with different expressions. He also returned the greeting with a humble smile.
"Excuse me."
A handsome man suddenly stood out and attracted attention. Xu Yuanwang, who was about to talk to Ye Li, turned his head to look at him, and his expression immediately changed. When the man was about to walk in front of him, he showed a warm smile again.
"two……"
The person who came over was Wei Buqi. He did not give Xu Yuanwang a chance to speak, but directly spit on his face in front of everyone, which in layman's terms was spitting.
The smile that Xu Shangshi, the Astronomical Surveyor, had just forced out suddenly froze. His smile did not disappear, but instead shifted to the face of the Second Young Master Wei. The scene was dead silent.
Lord Xu's cheeks first turned red, then blue, and he clenched his teeth. He stared at the handsome young man in front of him with red eyes and breathed rapidly, but he didn't dare to move at all.
"You are brave!"
Before Xu Yuanwang could speak, Ye Li beside him had come back to his senses from his shock. He subconsciously yelled angrily, and then regretted it.
Tian Shi Xu Xun let out an angry laugh, then turned around and left without even looking back, leaving the carriage behind.
This person actually endured the humiliation of being spit in the face.
"Good...good way to repel the enemy with your mouth!"
Yang Shaocheng, who was still sitting in the front of the carriage, was speechless, and finally burst into laughter.
Chao Ji in the car also lifted the curtain and saw this scene. She was glad that she had asked Wu Ji to look after the young lady of the Wei Mansion, Wei Xiangwu, otherwise the child would have learned bad things.
