When she arrived at the gate of Ye Mansion, Ye Lingyue couldn't help being taken aback.
How did the Ye Mansion decay into this appearance
Ye Lingyue remembered that the last time she left Ye Mansion to go to Guyue Sea, Ye Mansion was in its heyday, and there were eight guards at the gate alone, all of them were reincarnation warriors. But right now, there are only a few old slaves in Ye Mansion, and they are all innate masters.
With such a level of guard, how could the Ye family gain a foothold in the imperial city
"Miss, the small river is full and the big river is swollen. Since Ye Hou's rebellion, the Ye Mansion has been worsening day by day. And there are ambushes all around to monitor the Ye Mansion."
Mayor Zhao saw Ye Lingyue's confusion and explained in a low voice.
The tree fell and Misun scattered, and those masters who had attached to the Ye Mansion earlier also fled one after another, and some people, like the coach of President Wu, directly swept away the property in the mansion.
Even if Ye Mansion is Jinshan, it has already been emptied.
"Don't tell me these Yehuangcheng father and son don't care?"
After hearing this, Ye Lingyue couldn't help being furious.
Although she was unsatisfactory in the Ye Mansion in the early years, but for the sake of her mother, she has always been very good to the Ye Mansion.
Even if she went to Guyuehai, she would send back some pills, talismans and artifacts every year.
With these things alone, it is enough to make Ye Mansion eat up for several generations.
You know, those are not ordinary things, they are all made by Ye Lingyue, a Fangxian-level existence, any one of them is enough for ordinary small families to treat them as family heirlooms.
Ye Lingyue didn't believe that with so many secret treasures, the people of Ye Mansion would all be short-lived within a few years.
Ye Lingyue also heard that several descendants of the Ye family broke through the reincarnation realm by relying on the reincarnation pill she refined before, and the worst ones at the moment should be around the four reincarnations.
With such a cultivation base, if you don't meet the core disciples of the major sects, you shouldn't have such a miserable time in the imperial city.
"This... I'm afraid it's hard to explain in words. If you want to blame it, you can blame Young Master Ye Qing. In order to curry favor with the Bagua Tianmen, he married a female disciple in the Bagua Tianmen earlier. Who would have thought that the female disciple is very powerful. After marrying Ye Mansion, He has mastered the finances of the Ye Mansion. Nine out of ten of those pills, artifacts and talismans have become the private property of the Bagua Tianmen."
As soon as Ye Qing was mentioned, Mayor Zhao had an ugly expression on his face.
If it wasn't for Ye Qing's marriage, Ye Mansion wouldn't have declined so badly.
So to be precise, it is not Ye Qing and his son who control Ye Mansion now, but the female disciple of Bagua Tianmen.
That Ye Qing, as expected, is still the same as before.
Ye Lingyue's eyes deepened.
"Let's go in, I want to see how powerful this one from Bagua Tianmen is."
Ye Lingyue snorted coldly.
Ye Fu, as long as she, Ye Lingyue, is there, it will never collapse.
"Several, I want to see my parents."
Mayor Zhao got out of the carriage and walked straight to the two guards.
He is also an old retainer of Ye Mansion, so the guards are still familiar with him.
"It's the mayor Zhao, please wait a moment, the mayor, let's go and inform the young mistress first."
Several guards recognized Mayor Zhao, but they still didn't report Ye Qing directly.
"I want to see my parents, why do I need to inform my young mistress? Or, if I, an old retainer, want to meet my parents now, I still need to get permission from my young mistress."
Mayor Zhao looked a little displeased.
The young mistress the guard was talking about was the one from Bagua Tianmen.
Mayor Zhao didn't expect that the woman's control over Ye's mansion would become even stronger if he didn't come to Ye's mansion for a while.
Now even if she sees a Patriarch, she has to inform her, so is Ye Mansion still called Ye Mansion? !
Several guards looked at each other, embarrassed.
One of them was a little familiar with Mayor Zhao, and said in a low voice.
"Mayor Zhao, don't get angry. If someone inside hears about it, it's uncertain what will happen. There will be an auction in Xia for a while, and the young lady is worried about the crowds in the city, so she asks for a report. After this It's getting better in a while."
After all, he gave a wink and asked someone to go in and report.
Ye Lingyue and the others understood the implication.
The other party was worried that someone with malicious intentions would come in and out of Ye Mansion, causing unnecessary trouble.
After hearing this, Mayor Zhao didn't say anything.
After a while, I heard the guard running out in small steps.
"Mayor Zhao, you can go in now."
Mayor Zhao snorted coldly and walked in.
"You two are waiting outside, don't walk here and there, lest you offend others."
Before entering the living room, Mayor Zhao intentionally left Ye Lingyue and Ye Yun behind.
The two understood each other and waited outside.
Mayor Zhao entered the living room and saw Ye Huangcheng sitting in it.
Ye Huangcheng is in his prime, but now he looks like an old man in his fifties and sixties, his hair has started to turn gray, and his back is slightly bent. It can be seen that the life of the new Patriarch Ye is not going well.
"Zhao Lei, you're here, you're all on your own, sit down."
Ye Huangcheng signaled Mayor Zhao to sit down.
"Is it okay for the Patriarch to come in? The subordinates came to visit the Patriarch at the order of the mother. This year's harvest of Lingsu is not bad, and the subordinates specially brought some to the Patriarch."
Hearing Mayor Zhao's words, Ye Huangcheng's face was somewhat touched.
Ever since Ye Huangyu blatantly rebelled against Gu Yuehai, Emperor Xia abdicated, and the prestige and status of the Ye family plummeted.
In addition, that kid Qing'er couldn't distinguish people, because of that wicked woman, the Ye family offended some nobles and courtiers in Xiadu.
In the past two or three months, the retainers and servants of the Ye family walked and fled, and the pressure on their shoulders can be imagined.
The spirit millet in Zhouchu Town is subject to taxation. Under such circumstances, mayor Zhao still remembers the Ye family and took the risk of sending some spirit millet. Just for this friendship, Ye Huangcheng was very moved. .
Ye Huangcheng chatted with Zhao Lei for a few more words, about how the public security in Zhou Chuzhen is these days, whether there are any difficulties encountered, the current situation in Xiadu, and so on.
"I don't know how the old man is doing. My mother asked my subordinates to go down and see him."
Seeing that Ye Huangcheng was in good spirits, Mayor Zhao took the opportunity to ask to see the old Patriarch.
After Ye Huangcheng heard this, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face.
"Zhao Lei, you are an old man of the Ye family. I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. It's not because I don't want you to see my father, but..."
Ye Huangcheng's eyes were full of pain and anger.
Outsiders said that Ye Huangcheng was an ungrateful person, for the sake of being the Patriarch, even his own father was placed under house arrest.
What happened to Ye Gu was all handled by Gu Yuehai, he was just a puppet.
He wanted to propose to release father several times, but the wicked woman in the inner courtyard refused to do so.
"Mayor Zhao really has a heart, and came here to see the old man, but the old man is unwell and should not see guests."
Mayor Zhao still wanted to take the opportunity to ask, but he heard a harsh voice drifting in.
