Chapter 150 A Calculation by Fingers Indicates a Bloody Disaster

"Hurry up and send Ye Li'an to fetch Grandmother back. I'm going to personally send her to hell that day."

Ye Chengzhu's face was terrifyingly ferocious, his features were twisted together, and his eyes flashed with a crazed light.

Seeing him like this, Xue Ruoxue suddenly trembled uncontrollably, her heart raced, and she blurted out instinctively:

"No, you can't go."

"why?"

"Your mother is worried, so you must stay home that day."

Xue Ruoxue clutched her chest, not understanding what was wrong with her.

"How can that be? I definitely will..."

"puff!"

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

Xue Ruoxue suddenly vomited blood, instinctively grabbed Ye Chengzhu with one hand, and then fainted.

After the banquet, Ye Yaoyao went back to practice her sword. Madam Xin had taught her a set of sword techniques the day before, and she was currently wielding a wooden sword.

The movements seemed as slow as a snail to Ye Jingyang, making him sleepy and causing his head to nod off.

After Ye Yaoyao finished practicing her swordsmanship, she saw Ye Jingyang looking tired and asked curiously:

"Second brother, what did you do last night? You're sleepy so early."

"Little sister, have you mastered swordsmanship?"

"How was it? Was the movement correct?"

"Yeah! Like dancing," Ye Jingyang joked.

[Host, your second brother says you're all show and no substance.]

Upon hearing this, Ye Yaoyao's smile vanished.

"It would be good if you could train to look good."

Ye Yaoyao poured herself a cup of tea, then stretched out her fingers to do some calculations.

"Little sister, when did you learn divination?"

Seeing her seemingly professional movements, Ye Jingyang assumed she had learned another skill.

"If I were to do some calculations, I would say that Xue Ruoxue is about to suffer a bloody disaster."

"real or fake?"

"Second brother, you'll find out if you have someone investigate."

[Haha! The poison I gave her has taken effect.]

When Xue Ruoxue came to the Ye family, Ye Mian asked the old woman to come back. Ye Yaoyao, on a whim, asked her to test the new poison she had developed.

Ye Jingyang: [No need, we already know. My little sister poisoned us without our knowledge.]

"Miss, the master can't find the madam and the young master, and I heard he's in a terrible mood!" Tingqin brought over some snacks and offered a bite.

"Yeah! Didn't he refuse to see us before? Now it's his turn to be unable to see us, he's going to be anxious to death."

Just then, a servant rushed over: "Fourth Miss, Second Young Master, the master wants you to come over."

Ye Yaoyao and Ye Jingyang exchanged a glance. "Second brother, what do you think he wants from us?"

Ye Jingyang shrugged: "You'll know when you get there."

The two arrived at Qingzhu Courtyard, where Ye Mian waited for them with an unpleasant expression. He glanced at Ye Yaoyao a few more times before turning away with a look of disgust.

[Wow! You look like you've been constipated for days.]

"Father, what brings you here?"

"What have you all been doing lately, not being in the manor at all?" Ye Mian asked sternly, his voice as cold as ice shards.

"Father, don't you know? We've been busy with the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and the toy shop. Both shops are doing very well, making a fortune every day."

Ye Yaoyao spoke with great enthusiasm, her expression exaggerated, her eyes full of smugness.

Ye Mian naturally knew about this, after all, he was burning with anger. Xue Ruoxue's shop was in debt, which had even emptied his pockets, and he was scolding her again.

"Don't you even know yourselves? Two of you are pursuing official careers, two of you are young ladies who are out in the public eye, plus an official's wife. Who in the capital city is as presumptuous as you?"

"Father, it's time for dinner. Why don't we go back and eat first, and then come back to listen to your lecture?"

Ye Yaoyao rubbed her ears; she didn't have time to listen to his nonsense.

"Perfect timing, I'm hungry too, Father, how about you?" Ye Jingyang rubbed his stomach.

Ye Mian pointed at the brother and sister, trembling with anger:

"You...you ignorant fools! Do you still acknowledge me as your father?"

“Yes, Father. What do you want to tell us?” Ye Jingyang nodded.

Seeing that he said this, Ye Mian did not try to appeal to their emotions and explained his purpose.

"You two go and pick up your grandmother tomorrow."

"The two of us?" Ye Jingyang asked, wondering what scheme he had up his sleeve.

[System, why was he replaced?]

[The eldest brother isn't taking the bait, so he's switched to a wicked plan! He'll lure you all away before making his move.]

That won't do.

Ye Yaoyao's eyes darted around, and she said worriedly:

"Father, I'm going to pick up Grandmother. What if she doesn't come back with me?"

"She longs to go home, why wouldn't she? Don't upset the old lady."

Ye Mian suppressed his anger and glared at Ye Yaoyao. He really wanted to tear this troublemaker to pieces.

"But Father, my eldest brother said that as the eldest grandson, he wants to personally go and fetch Grandmother!" Ye Yaoyao pouted, a hint of cunning in her eyes.

[Haha! Let's stir up hatred, stir up hatred! Let the villains unleash their fury!]

"You damned bastard! You were supposed to be picking someone up, what have you been doing these past few days?"

"Of course, Brother has something to discuss! Mr. Hua has been looking for you these past few days."

"Then you two go. Don't just sit around doing nothing all day, getting involved in all that business stuff."

Ye Mian's face remained gloomy, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Father, we haven't had any free time these past two days."

"Do you even consider yourselves children of the Ye family? Such disobedience and unfilial behavior is unacceptable. I might as well set a date and remove your names from the family genealogy."

The two exchanged a glance, both feeling incredulous. Ye Yaoyao was actually quite happy to be removed from the family register.

[What kind of shock did this scumbag father suffer? Why did he suddenly say he wanted to remove him from the family register? My second brother is still his son, how could he want to remove him from the family tree?]

[Host, your scumbag father knows you're not his biological daughter.]

【Hmm! So what? He doesn't dare to actually open the family genealogy right now.】

Ye Jingyang: They're trying to threaten us by removing us from the family genealogy.

"Father, you don't recognize us anymore."

Ye Jingyang looked at him with disbelief and a hint of hurt in his eyes.

“It is because you have no respect for your elders that I cannot discipline you.”

“Father, what you’re saying is so disheartening.”

Ye Yaoyao pinched herself hard, her eyes reddening and filled with grievance.

Ye Mian's face turned ashen with rage. He pointed at them and roared, "Heartbroken? I think you're not satisfied until you've driven me to my death!"

Ye Yaoyao explained with a wronged expression:

“Father, Grandmother will be back in a couple of days. We are worried that something might happen on the way and we won’t be able to welcome her.”

Ye Mian frowned. The fact that Old Madam Liu had returned meant that the Empress Dowager was going back to the capital. The Crown Prince had arranged his wedding, so it seemed that the Empress Dowager had rushed back upon hearing the news. He really didn't know about this.

"I forgot to tell you, the Empress Dowager is returning ahead of schedule and should be on her way by now."

"Then wait until the Empress Dowager returns before you go to pick up your grandmother. If there's nothing else, get out of here." Ye Mian waved his hand impatiently.

Ye Yaoyao winked at Ye Jingyang and silently left Qingzhu Courtyard.
